"Where is that so-called douchebag?""Why can't I find him in the kitchen?""Get the hell out of your bed, you lazy ass. Adrian!"Adrian staggered up from the bed and groaned out with a frustrated look on his face as he got interrupted by the scream and ranting of his wife's mother, his mother-in-law. He rubbed his head with a sigh. "Not again," he mumbled and took a deep breath as his gaze landed on the crutches standing by the wall side beside the bed. "What are you doing there, Adrian? Get your lazy butt out of that bed," he bit his lower lips and looked up at his mother-in-law, Brianna, who was standing by the door with a cold and fierce expression on her face. He swallowed the lump in his throat as his gaze landed on the expression that was on her face. She wasn't here to play games with him. She looked serious. "Good morning mum. Hope…" he couldn't finish his statement when he got interrupted by her. "What's good about the morning, huh? Tell me.""I woke up this morning and

"What is this I am hearing?" He asked himself in dismay. His heart skipped in fear and his eyes burned with fury. Although he was hearing her voice clearly, he didn't believe she could do such a thing. And besides, that was their matrimonial bedroom. Even if she doesn't love him, she has to respect him. He held the knob of the door with uncertainty in his heart. He was wondering whether to open the door or not. He didn't know whether he was ready to see what she was doing in the room moaning in pleasure. As much as he wanted to know, he didn't want to get his heart broken. He'd gotten his legs broken, he wouldn't want her to break his heart again. "What are you doing with him, Sandra?" He asked in a cold tone, held the knob of the door firmly with his hand shivering, and pushed it. Just as he was about to open the door, someone grabbed his right hand from behind and pulled him backward. He arched his eyebrows and looked up then his gaze landed on his mother-in-law, madam Brianna

“Who is this man, huh?”“Accusing Mr. Daniel? Does he have a death wish?”“Yes, he does. I can't wait to see him dead.”“I see no reason why Mr. Daniel would buy a fake leaf when he's wealthy.”“This man is just a clout chaser and he needs to be dealt with.”“A poor and handicapped man challenging the rich. What a poor world.”Adrian paid no attention to the hateful and shameful comment that he was hearing. He pretended as though he didn't hear any of them. His attention was fixed on the so-called rich Mr. Daniel. “How dare you claim the original leaf I bought was worth millions of dollars fake!” The man yelled but he wasn't fazed by it. “Do you mean the imitation that you bought was fake?” Adrian said in a cold tone, challenging the rich man before him which made the guest infuriated by his gut. “What is the meaning of what you're doing?” His wife, Sandra, asked as she leaned closer to him. “Stop it and leave,” she said in a cold tone and he shook his head in response. “I won't

“I'm sorry, Mr. Daniel. I don't think I'll be able to help you considering how you embarrassed me over there so I'd suggest you step out of my way,” Adrian said conclusively, giving no room for any conversation. Mr. Daniel wiped off the bead of sweat that formed on his face as he noticed the indifferent look on his face. He wouldn't stoop so low to be begging for a low life if he didn't have what he needed in his possession and his life was at stake. Someone else was in danger and all the guests were all depending on him to turn the tides while he knew nothing about the problem. He had to find an excuse so he could meet up and ask the location of the leaf but it seemed Adrian didn't want to help him. If something happens to the lady, he will be blamed and punished by her powerful father. “Please forgive me, Mr. Adrian. I know I have offended you but I need your forgiveness. The lady will die if nothing is dead,” he said and Adrian chuckled softly. “You're only concerned about he

“How dare you!” Brian dropped his hand from Sarah's waist with a frustrated look on his face as he heard Adrian's voice from behind. He turned back and a soft gasp left his lips as his gaze landed on Adrian. He was awe-struck to see Adrian in his hotel room. Not only did Adrian have the gut to stalk him to the hotel but he also found his way into his hotel room. How did he do it? Why wasn't he thrown out?However, Brian remained unfazed. “It's a wonder how you managed to enter the hotel without being thrown by the security men,” Brian said and chuckled mockingly. Adrian's eyes burned with anger after hearing Brian's statement. He couldn't believe that Brian could still be talking to him in such a way despite what he did to his wife. He moved closer to him and clenched to the crutches with his left hand then raised his right hand and slapped him fiercely on his cheek. Brian staggered backward as the impact of the slap made him lose his stamina. He placed his hand on his right c
