Meanwhile, in the palace, the elders sat in somber silence, each lost in their own thoughts as they waited for their prince’s return. Jesse's watch seemed to tick louder with every passing second, a constant reminder of Adonis's absence. They all shared the same unspoken hope that Adonis would return safely, that his plan had succeeded.Suddenly, the room was jolted by the abrupt entrance of an excited messenger, who burst into the chamber with breathless urgency. "The prince is back!" the messenger exclaimed, unable to contain his joy.Without hesitation, the elders and Jesse rushed outside, their faces alight with anticipation. Their hearts swelled with relief and joy as they laid eyes on Adonis and Valerie, who walked toward the palace in a regal and triumphant manner. Adonis, his presence commanding, strode majestically with Valerie by his side, a living testament to the successful rescue.Jesse approached them, his relief was obvious as he greeted the prince with a deep bow.

Adonis sat in his cramped office, peering out of the small window, lost in his thoughts about his life. The stale air in the room made him shift his tie repeatedly, while beads of sweat trickled down his face, adding to his discomfort. Leaning back, he surveyed the enormous pile of work on his desk, contemplating the meager compensation he received for carrying out these tasks. Adding to his frustration, it seemed that his contributions went unnoticed and unappreciated by everyone in the company. He took a deep breath, the deepest he had ever taken, trying to gather himself. "Adonis, all this work is right in front of you, and you're just staring out the window? Do you want to get yelled at again?" his inner voice chastised him, breaking through his contemplation. Just as he was about to refocus on his work, the door swung open forcefully, jolting him from his reverie. He looked up to see his boss standing there, his face flushed with anger. A deadly glare was aimed directly at Ado
Adonis stood frozen in disbelief, his grip on the cake loosening until it slipped from his hands, crashing to the ground in a messy heap. His eyes remained locked on the shocking sight before him, unable to tear away or utter a single word. They moved past him, locked in their passionate embrace, oblivious to his presence and the shattering of his world. It felt unreal, like a cruel dream taunting his sanity. "This can't be real. It must be a twisted illusion," he whispered through gritted teeth, his voice laced with a mixture of hatred and anger. With seething fury coursing through his veins, Adonis stormed towards the room, each step resonating with his mounting anger. As he approached the scene before him, his heart sank, and a lump formed in his throat. This was not a nightmare; it was a harsh reality he couldn't deny. "Harriet?!" His voice spat out the name, dripping with a mix of disbelief and rage. The couple abruptly halted their actions, sensing the intensity in his words
Adonis maintained a tight grip on the bleeding stranger's shirt, his anger fueling his determination. Harriet's voice echoed in the room, filled with urgency and concern. "Adonis, stop! get that smelly body of yours off him. You are going to injure him." She pleaded, her voice piercing through the chaos. The stranger, fully aware of the impending danger, knew he had to defend himself if he wanted to leave without severe injuries. With a surge of strength, he retaliated, delivering a powerful punch to Adonis's face, attempting to free himself from his grasp. Adonis staggered back momentarily but refused to release his hold. On the other side of the bed, Harriet watched the violent confrontation unfold, her voice filled with desperation. She realized that if she didn't intervene, the situation would escalate into a brutal fight that could cause irreparable damage. Driven by the instinct to protect, Harriet rushed between the two men, forcefully separating them. "That's enough! Stop
Harriet swiftly dialed her mother's number, desperately seeking for someone to take her side. However, the connection was poor, and she strained to hear her mother's voice on the other end of the line. "Mum, mum, are you there? Please, are you there?" Harriet yelled with increasing urgency, her voice echoing in the room. Adonis stood in disbelief, taken aback by Harriet's dramatic plea. His gaze intensified as he continued to approach her, his expression filled with a mixture of anger and confusion. "Harriet, what is wrong with you? are you finally feeling guilty?" Adonis asked confused as to why she was being so dramatic despite knowing fully well that he would never hurt her.Harriet's mother's voice finally broke through the crackling phone line, bringing a glimmer of hope. "Harriet, what's happening there?" her mother inquired. "It's Adonis, Mom. He's trying to hurt me. Please, come and rescue me from him," Harriet pleaded desperately. Adonis persisted in his approach. Harr
Harriet and her mother sat side by side, their laughter punctuating the air intermittently. In that moment, Harriet couldn't help but wish she had heeded her mother's warning about marrying Adonis. Taking a deep breath, she realized she was now married to him, and every aspect of her life seemed to be in shambles. Suddenly, her phone beeped, interrupting their conversation. "It seems you have a call," her mother remarked, prompting Harriet to retrieve the phone from the floor and answer it promptly. "Hello, who is this?" she asked, with her mother leaning in closer to listen. "Is this Harriet? Mr. Adonis Wealth's wife?" a deep voice resounded from the other end. Initially, she contemplated denying it, as she anticipated that Adonis had likely gotten himself into trouble. However, she didn't want to be labeled as a gold digger, so she reluctantly confirmed, "Yes, it's me. What's the matter?" "You're required at the police station immediately. It's urgent," the voice replied ste
Adonis rose early that morning, preparing himself for work. As he stepped into the kitchen, his eyes widened at the sight before him—the dining table was already cluttered with an array of food. Puzzled, he pondered, "What could be going on here?" Confusion swirled in his mind as he tried to make sense of the unexpected display. Soon, Adonis noticed Harriet slowly approaching him, adorned in her apron, and a gentle smile gracing her face. She reached out, seemingly intending to embrace him, but his eyes shot her a piercing, icy glare. "Don't," he uttered sharply, his voice carrying an air of unresolved anger. "Sorry, darling. Are you still upset about what happened yesterday?" Harriet inquired, hoping for some form of acknowledgment, but he remained silent, withholding any response. Adonis continued to observe her as she made her way to the dining table and unveiled the meal she had prepared. Despite its enticing appearance, coming from her, it felt like a foul stench emanating f
As the woman carefully checked Adonis's temperature and administered some medicines, he remained in a daze, unable to make sense of the situation unfolding around him. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion, desperately trying to piece together the fragments of his fractured reality. After attending to his needs, the woman informed Adonis that if he felt strong enough, everyone in the palace would love to see his face just to rest assured that he was okay. Adonis nodded absentmindedly, still filled with cluelessness. He watched as she left the room, leaving him to grapple with his disoriented thoughts. Gathering what little strength he had, Adonis slowly rose from the bed, wincing as pain shot through his neck. The room he found himself in was like something out of a dream, adorned with opulent furnishings and an air of grandeur. The walls were draped in rich tapestries, and sunlight filtered through ornate stained glass windows, casting vibrant colors across the room. He went out of
