“I'm sick of your constant excuses about your mother! It's time to choose between me and her.” Rachael's words dripped with exasperation, her patience worn thin by her husband's repeated dodging of responsibility." Adam had just arrived at the Odia mansion, still drenched in sweat from his day shift job, only to be met with his angry wife, Rachael. “Don't say that Racheal, I need this money for my mother's treatment, you have to understand” Adam tried to explain walking closer to her. “Please don't come closer, your sweat stinks so bad, you'll ruin my dress!” Rachael scorned. Adam couldn't believe the same sweat that he had to endure to make sure she's happy is the same thing she called stink. If it wasn't for her he wouldn't be hustling this way. With a sneer she spoke, “It's either you give me this $500 to get myself a handbag for my birthday. Or you use it for your silly old mother!” “What did you say?” Adam asked, unable to believe what his wife just said. “You heard

“Father would never allow me to divorce that bastard, in the name of honoring grandfather's deal with Adam. I wish I could but I can't”“Yes you can Racheal” Rhea said. “And I'm going to help you with it”“But how?” Racheal asked.“I have a plan that will actually work” a smirk escaped her lips.***Racheal and Rhea then walked out of the room and went back to the sitting room where Adam and the rest of the family members were.Everyone was in suspense on what Racheal was about to say.“I'll forgive you Adam only on one condition” Racheal started making Adam more curious.“What condition Racheal?” His eyes were begging for answers.“Today's my birthday and the decorations will soon start, and I'll want you to serve as one of the waiters at the party tonight” she replied with a smirk on her face.“What?” Adam's jaw dropped.Monica and her sister Theresa smiled in satisfaction of Rachael's request. This will be a perfect punishment for this loser.“How can I serve as a waiter Racheal?

"what are you doing..." Adam's question was swallowed by Rachael's hungry lips as she devoured his mouth in a passionate kiss. He couldn't resist the temptation to surrender to her desire, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. As they kissed, Adam's hands roamed, caressing her curves and trying to undress her, but just as they were lost in the moment, the lights flickered on, illuminating the room and teasing them with reality.Adam was startled and turned back to look who it was and saw his wife standing at the door in shock with the entire family and Drake. "What the F..." Adam's confusion was at the peak. If Racheal was standing at the door who the hell was he kissing? He slowly turned to look at the person he almost made out with a second ago.The teary face of Rhea welcomed him. She unleashed a heavy slap as she started crying and ran towards her sister Racheal. "Racheal, he did it again. Adam tried to sleep with me forcefully." "What?!" Adam knew he was goi

Adam sat at the van, his heart pounding. "Please you have to let me go, I'm innocent. My mother is dying. I need to get her hospital bill." "Enough! You think we care? You should have thought twice before you mess with the Odias. You'll be punished severely!" The Chief Officer Philip sneered. Philip's reputation preceded him – ruthless, unyielding, and feared by criminals citywide. He has the worst punishment for criminals everywhere in the city, making his very name feel like a curse to their ears. "Where are you taking me to?" Adam asked, his eyes trying to peek through the window. "To face justice!" Philip replied, he gestured, and his men covered Adam's face with a black hood. .... Central Command Center. This was Almond City's number 1 police station. Adam was dragged out of the van and led into a dark room, the steel door clanged shut behind him. It was the interrogation room. Adam was forced onto a cold metal chair, the black wood was ripped from his head, making him bli

Philip and his men drove Adam to the island, they used a helicopter to travel to the prison, sharks and wild sea monsters roam around the sea, which is the main reason prisoners can't escape. Adam's heart sank, his breath catching in his throat. Hell-gate. The mere mention sent shivers down his spine. He'd heard the whispers, the horror stories of brutal treatment and unspeakable atrocities within those foreboding walls. No one escaped Hell-gate. No one survived its depths. The prison's reputation was a death sentence, a fate worse than execution. They dragged Adam like a limp ragdoll, his battered body leaving a crimson smear on the cold, grey corridors. The guards tossed him into the cell with a careless heave, his limbs splayed awkwardly on the concrete floor. Philip's voice dripped with malice as he leaned in, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "Welcome to your new home, boy. You'll rot here. "Twenty four hours of darkness, one meal a day, one toilet break. Don't even t
