Adler Cold War

You thought I was useless? Watch me crush everything you built while I sip coffee. His wife was in bed—just not with him. Charles stood at the door, watching the woman he married moan under another man. He didn’t shout. He didn’t cry. He took pictures. Everyone believed Charles was a failure—a weak husband with no future, living under his in-laws’ mercy. But behind the calm mask hides a man they never expected — A god of war. He made a silent promise to stay hidden. For almost two years, he kept it. But now that his cheating wife has shattered everything, Charles is done playing nice. Her family will beg. Her lover will kneel. The empire they thought they controlled? He’ll tear it apart without breaking a sweat. Revenge isn’t an option. It’s a guarantee.

Everyone in Chicago thought Keith Cross was nothing—a discarded war hero turned human blood bank for his in-laws. His wife called him a leech, her mother demanded he donate or die, and her new lover promised to "drain him dry." But what they didn’t know? That “worthless freeloader” they mocked… was the Miracle Doctor they’d been desperately begging to save their dying son. “You think you can throw me out like trash?” Keith says with a slow, deadly smirk. “You’ve been living off my charity this entire time.” When Keith flashes his black VIP card, the world shifts. Elite restaurant managers fall to their knees. Security guards bow. And his ex-wife? She drops to the floor, begging for mercy after publicly calling him a busboy in disguise. “You said I was a blood bag,” Keith says, towering over her. “Funny. You never asked whose blood ran this city's veins.” She called him weak. He became untouchable. Now he’s back—to take everything they stole, and leave them gasping in the dust of his name.

For over three years, she had been married to a cripple, yet all he did was bring her pain. He refused to tell her where he disappeared every month or explain the missing money.
