Alvin Kent yawned, feeling exhausted. He had been working various jobs since morning, not counting the household chores that always kept him busy at home. He just graduated from college using partial scholarships, and had not been able to find a corporate job, making him forced to continue his odd jobs.

“A glass of mocktail please.” A girl shouted from a corner where she and her noisy friends were sitting.

“Coming right up.” Alvin quickly served them and turned to leave.

A familiar song began to play, making him frown.

“Isn't this the song Sonya escorted me to their company to record last week? How come it's already on air?” Alvin whispered, feeling confused.

“Why did she release it without telling me? Was it supposed to be a surprise?” He muttered, knowing there was no way his wife of two years would intentionally try to make him happy, even if the sun rose from the north.

“Fred Coleman's song is playing. Wow! He released this song just yesterday and the song is already climbing the charts so fast. I never knew he was this talented in composing songs and singing. I didn't like him much when he just started, but with this album, he's now my favorite.”

Alvin quickly fished out his phone to search for trending topics.

“Fred Coleman? Who the fuck is he? Why are they saying he is the owner of my songs?”

He immediately saw Fred Coleman's interview with the media and he was talking about some nonsense on how he got the inspiration. Even more shocking was that his own wife, Sonya Carter was clinging to Fred's arms, smiling as she praised her so-called boyfriend for being hard working.

“What's going on here? Why is someone taking credits for my songs? Also, they modified my voice slightly with AI, making it a little bit gruff like his own. I have been preparing so long for my debut, pouring all my savings and resources into the production. How can someone else take credits for my blood, sweat, and tears? This doesn't make sense, I need to find her.”

“Hey man! Are you alright? You have not attended to any customers for nearly five minutes. If the boss notices, your salary will be deducted.” A colleague said, tapping his shoulders.

He shook his head, and sighed heavily with an expression of despair on his face.

“I will be back, there's an emergency that I need to take care of. Please help me explain to the manager.” He whispered, shoving the apron he just stripped off into the hands of the other bartender.

He rushed outside and got on his electric scooter, making his way home as fast as he could.

The moment he entered the duplex where he lived with his wife's family, his face contorted into a huge frown. There was a strange car parked in their garage, he ignored it and made his way into the house.

Sounds of joyful laughter filled the house, making him wonder what incident they were celebrating. The first thing he saw when he walked into the reception room was the upsetting view of his wife sitting on another man's thighs.

The man was dressed in stylish designer clothes, looking like a pop star, alongside a pair of expensive boots. His hands never left Sonya’s body, touching her without reserve, even caressing her waist and boob before her parents. Whereas Alvin, her so-called husband, has never received a kiss from her.

“Sonya!” Alvin shouted through gritted teeth, making everyone's attention turn to the doorway where he was.

“You little leech! How dare you call my name with that dirty mouth of yours?” Sonya growled and stood up. The man reluctantly released her and relaxed back into the sofa to watch a good show.

“Is this the good for nothing husband your grandpa made you marry before he suffered from stroke?” Fred asked, staring derisively at him, in a way that made him feel small and humiliated.

Alvin’s eyes went to Fred’s hands which were coiled possessively around Sonya's waist. He had returned it to her waist at some point, glaring provocatively at Alvin as if daring him to say anything.

Sonya's parents and brother didn't seem to mind it at all, grinning from ear to ear as a strange man defiled their daughter right in their presence.

Fighting for a love that never existed was something Alvin was not interested in. So their shameless display didn't bother him much, his interest was his songs, the things that mattered.

“Sonya, I heard the songs I recorded last week on air, and they are claiming it belongs to one Fred Coleman. What the fuck is going on?” He growled, pretending not to know Fred's identity.

“How dare you speak to my daughter that way? You must be tired of living.”

Sonya smiled and caressed Fred’s arm, the corner of her lips curled up in a mocking smirk as she gave Alvin the side eye. “What songs are you talking about? The songs only belong to my sweetheart here. They're my gift to him.”

Alvin clenched his fists in fury, his eyes spitting flames.

“Your sweetheart? Then, what am I?” His voice was cold, his eyes filled with resentment as he met Sonya’s gaze.

His question left them stunned for a while before the five of them simultaneously burst into laughter.

“Are you crazy? You actually thought trash like you is qualified to stand beside my daughter? Look here, thanks to that old man, my daughter has suffered grievances for three years. Now that he's in a coma, you still want to be leeching off my daughter? Dream on! The only son in-law I recognize is Fred Coleman, heir to CJ entertainment. A pauper like you who shamelessly lives off his wife's family will never be able to compare—you're not even worthy to carry his shoes.” Grace his mother in-law spat, gearing for a fight.

Sonya chuckled and shook her head, her gaze filled with condescension.

“You really thought I will continue to endure the humiliation of seeing your face everyday? Dream on! Everyday I wished to tear you apart, crush your bones, drink your blood, and make you regret ever being born. But that old bastard always protected you. Now that the old thing is in a coma and will die any moment, do you still think you deserve to stay alive?”

Alvin chuckled coldly.

“Even if you want to give a gift to your lover whom you commit adultery with, why did you give him my items? I invested all my savings to produce that song, and that album is a collection of my best songs so far. How dare he claim credit for them? You both better go rectify it or I'll sue you for plagiarism.”

He had not finished his words when Sonya released a flurry of slaps against his cheeks. She tried to kick his balls and he quickly avoided it, pushing her away.

“You animal! You stayed in our house eating free food for two years, and now you want to bite the hand that fed you? You must have a death wish.” Cain, Sonya's little brother shouted, getting to his feet.

  • CHAOS LEFT BEHIND

    Shi Tong made his way to Shi Yue's moonlight pavilion. His father, Shi Ming Hao, the mysterious man in black cloak, and his two aides, trailed behind him. All around, everyone who saw them moved away, except for the strange soldiers who helped subdue the main branch’s supporters. Shi Tong’s face was flaming red and he blamed Shi Yue and her father Shi Kong for it. Although people quickly moved away without a word, there was no enthusiasm nor respect as they did with Shi Yue. Not even obsession or lust. And he imagined he saw a flicker of something judgemental in their eyes, making him even more upset. But knowing that he would get a chance to vent on Shi Yue after the great Lord was done with her comforted him a bit and he hastened his steps. She would pay for making him feel like a loser even after obtaining the heir's position. He got to the door and the disciples who were guarding it trembled in fear. It was not him that they were afraid of, it was the existence behind. Th

  • EATING FROM THE DEVIL'S PLATE

    TIAN LUO SECT Shi Ming Hao and his son Shi Tong were kneeling before a man dressed in black. A black cloak covered his face and he was sitting in the sect leader's position. Two men equally dressed in black and covering their faces with black masks were standing behind him. “Ming Hao, you're wasting my time. It's nearly morning. The only reason I agreed to help you was because I needed the communion cup in that old fart's treasury. Why isn't the goblet here yet?” Ming Hao was sweating bullets, same with his son. They knew exactly how dangerous the one before them was. Killing them would be as easy as sneezing for him. Offending him was a mistake that couldn't be condoned. “My Lord, have patience. The formation masters are cracking the formation required to get it.” Ming Hao quickly said, his head bowed low as thick droplets of wear rolled down his forehead. “Isn't there someone else who knows how to get into the treasury? How about his daughter?” Ming Hao looked at Shi Tong,

  • WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

    At that point, he heard a rustling and the sound of hurried footsteps as the system counted twenty seconds to go. “Young master!” Shi Yue shouted loudly, jumping into the formation just when Alvin was about to convince Shi Wei that Shi Yue was safe with Jian Li Chen. She was sweating and panting, a look of profound relief on her face “You stupid girl, what took you so long? The formation is a few seconds away from launching. I thought you decided to elope with your fiancé.” Alvin snapped and attached the leather bind to her hand that was still healthy. He repeated the process for Shi Wei and sighed in relief. “That was so close.” He whispered, sighing in relief as he sat in the middle of the formation, the other four behind him. “Sorry, I came late, I took a long detour to avoid being followed.” Shi Yue muttered, looking at the leather band on her right wrist. The bind on each of their wrists was to make sure they could feel each other and were attached to Alvin in case of

  • DEPARTURE & THE CHAOS BEHIND

    Alvin was already getting anxious. Three minutes to the activation, but Shi Yue had not returned. He had already affixed the spiritual energy sources to the points required, and the spatial waves were getting stronger and stronger with each second that passed. “Damn it! I shouldn't have let her go. Even if she had no feelings for him, they were still people who came so close to marrying each other in the past. How could there not be lingering feelings and thoughts? They would definitely have a lot to tell each other and lose track of time.” Alvin muttered, his eyes filled with anger at Shi Yue's blunder. “How could she be so stupid? I can't leave this place to go find her. I'm the core of the formation, everything will scatter if I leave this sphere. What should I do?” He muttered, looking at the three people who were half conscious, having difficulty breathing. He needed to leave immediately to place them on life support. Yet a certain girl was wasting time and cutting their l

  • LET'S GO HOME

    Jian Li Chen had many questions to ask her, things he never understood. Why did she hate him so much back then? Could he have offended her without knowing it? Will she accept him now? Would there still be a chance for them to get married? Why does she still refuse to take his hand, even in the current state of things? Did he look that unreliable? But in the end, it all formed a huge lump in his throat, choking him to death. “I don't dare to ask for a chance, or tell you how I truly feel about you. For me, agreeing to the marriage arrangement back then was not a political move. I really liked you.” He muttered under his breath, but Shi Yue heard it anyway and smiled, her heart feeling unexpectedly warm. And she felt remorseful for the times she had mocked him during international tournaments, called him a weak peacock and topped it off with the ultimate humiliation at their engagement party. She went down on one knee and bowed before him. “I owe you an apology. For ruining you

  • SSS

    Shi Yue stopped a few meters away from the clearing where the Jian clan soldiers were sitting, eating dried nuts, meats, bread and roasted corn for dinner, while discussing in groups on how to prevent the prince from going on a suicide mission. Jian Li Chen himself was at the other end deep in thoughts, away from the rest. There was a military map before him, and an empty animal skin in his hands, and a little red colored chalk was in his hands and he was recreating some routes on the empty animal skin. He suddenly sighed as if he met a challenge and shook his head, his brows furrowed in deep thoughts as he stared blankly at the map. Shi Yue picked a pebble and aimed it at his shoulders, taking a strategic position where he would see her if he turned. The moment the stone came close, he bent to the side like a pro, preventing the stone from connecting to his head. He caught the stone and turned to the direction the stone came from, his guard up, eyes narrowed in suspicion. He d
