"You have to agree to marry me. It's been six months already Racheal, you keep procrastinating our marriage. Don't you love me anymore?" Drake proposed. Racheal shook her head, if only Drake knew she was just manipulating him to get what she wanted, he's nothing but a stepping stone and nothing more. She never had feeling for Drake, he's always seen with multiple women, changing women like clothes, he's definitely not the kind of man she wanted for herself. If Drake wasn't from a wealthy family, no one would look at him twice. "Drake, of course I love you. But I'm not just ready for marriage now." Racheal decided to play her manipulative scheme. Drake wrapped his hands around her waist. "Come on babe, I've already helped you kick that asshole Adam out of your life. No more excuses." Drake smirked. Drake's gesture was bringing some attention to them, Racheal felt embarrassed and she moved a step away from him. "You're right, Drake. But I'm still not ready, sorry." Drake boiled in anger, how can she reject him after everything he had done for her, was she just using him? He's the heir of the Penthouse Family, many girls are dying to be with him. "Fine, then good luck getting inside yourself." Drake brushed past her walking inside. Racheal knew he was her only chance of getting into that building, and if she would ever get a chance to be among the three lucky contractors, she'll need Drake's influence. She sped towards him, like a flie chasing a poop. "Don't be so mad Drake. I will get married to you, I just need time. Please." She said with a soft voice, staring deep into Drake's eyes, seductively. Drake looked at her lustfully, he just couldn't resist to say no, Racheal was extremely beautiful. "Fine! Follow me." Racheal held Drake's hand tightly. They walked in through the crowd and the other contractors burst in anger. "Where do you two think you're going? They won't let you in, don't think you're special." One of the contractors spat aggressively, he was Blake from the Frost Family, one of the elite Families of Almond City. "Oh well, I'm not like you. I will get inside, watch me." Drake said proudly. “Ha, you think you're special? I can't wait to see you get humiliated by the guards.” Black smirked. Drake walked up to the security. “Who are you two? You can't get in, Mr. White isn't expecting any guests.” The bulky guard said with a deepened frown. "I am Drake Penthouse, and this is my girlfriend Racheal, from the Odia Family. have an appointment with Mr. White, can I come in?" Drake responded. Racheal was feeling anxious, she didn't know if Drake would be able to get in with the way the guard was responding, but she had to trust Drake. He couldn't be lying to her about bagging the contract, what will he get out of it? "Wait, I'll have to confirm if you're in fact telling the truth." The security dialed his boss's number, after some seconds of call he opened the gate and allowed them to walk in. After which he immediately closed back the gate. The others outside were shocked, everyone knew the Penthouses had a high status in the business world. But this was an entirely different feat on its own. Blake's face was flustered, “how can they allow that loser in and not me!” "Told ya!" Drake mocked, he looked at Racheal with a smirk on his face. "Do you still doubt me now?" "No, I can't believe you have so much influence, Drake, you're amazing." Racheal praised. As they were about to walk towards the entrance, they saw Adam walking out of it. They both froze from their steps, Racheal's jaw dropped, "Adam?" "What are you doing here punk?" A sinister smile appeared on Adam's face, he had anticipated that they'll come. "What do you mean? This is my company." Adam replied, dipping his hands in his pocket. "Shut the fuck up! Do you come here to steal?" Drake accused. "Adam, you're still alive?" Racheal was still in a puzzled state. "What, you want me dead? Do you hate me that much?" Adam's face darkened. Racheal couldn't even recognize him properly, he had changed a lot, and how was he still walking? Philip told them he broke Adam's leg, and he was sure he wasn't going to walk again, and how was he out of Hell-gate? Nothing was making sense, or was she dreaming? "You're supposed to be in prison." Racheal's brow furrowed. "Well, I'm out. Aren't you happy to see me?" Adam teased, a wide smile spread across his face.

"Enough with the joke trash. What the hell are you doing here? Who let you in?" Drake asked bitterly. "I just told you, this is my company." Adam gestured. "You?" Drake pointed at his clothes, it was a rag compared to what Drake was wearing. Even if Adam looked good facially, his clothes were still shabby. How dare he brag about being the owner of Bulgart Industry? Drake went hot red, "How dare you make such claims, I will report you to the authorities for false claims. We all know this industry belongs to Mr. Manchester, you'll be sorry when he finds out you're impersonating him, he's a war General you trash!" "Go ahead then, I can't keep explaining this to you. And by the way, what are you two doing here?" Adam asked. Drake laughed, "is that supposed to be a joke? Of course we came to see Mr. White, my family was selected as one of the contractors. And I'm going to help my future wife, Racheal, bag a contract too." He then wrapped his hands around her waist again. Racheal

The crowd outside the gate was restless, their eyes glued to the scene unfolding inside, eager for more drama. "Isn’t that the Odias’ disgrace of a son-in-law?" "Yeah, I heard he went to prison for trying to assault his sister-in-law." "What’s that ex-convict doing here?" "Probably came to cause trouble. Those kinds never change." "Look at him standing there—he thinks he can do anything?" Adam could hear every word, each insult cutting into him like a razor. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked. The crowd’s sneers were nothing new, but the shame burned all the same. "Why are you here, Adam?" Racheal hissed, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. "What do you want from us?" Adam’s expression darkened. "I've already told you. this is my company." "You’ve got some nerve showing your face here after everything," Drake sneered, stepping forward. "If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave before things get ugly." Adam’s gaze flicked to Drake, unbothered by

Mr. White bowed with his head low on Adam's feet. Everyone was frozen, what the hell was going on? Was Mr. White high on whiskey? "What's wrong with you, Mr. White? He's an imposter!" Drake was disgusted by Mr. White's behavior. "Shut up you imbecile!" Mr. White shot a deadly glance at Drake. Racheal was dumbstruck, doesn't Mr. White knows that Adam was their trash son-in-law? How can he bow to him? What's going on? Mr. White remained on the ground with his head low, waiting for Adam's permission to get up. "Mr. White, is this how you treat your guests? By sending your friend's son to insult me in public? To the extent he even attacked me? You know the offense that comes with that don't you?" Adam's face darkened. Mr. White was trembling with fear, the offense for attacking the supreme General is death, he was praying for time to reverse back so he could stop Drake from coming to his company, he's ruined now. With just a fingertip, Mr. Manchester could destroy his entire lineage.

Mr. White was still on the ground, bowing to Adam, he dared not stand up without his permission. "It's just been a day since I made you the contract manager, and you've already given out a slot without my permission. You're not trustworthy Mr. White." "I'm sorry Mr. Manchester, please don't punish me, I will terminate the contract with them." "No need for that, I was going to give them a slot anyways, it's like you read my mind." Adam smirked. "You were?" Mr. White was shocked. "Yes, you can get up now." Adam instructed. Mr. White dusted himself. "So have you forgiven me?" "For now, you're still useful so I'm going to let you live." Mr. White was relieved. "I'm going to destroy the Penthouse, and for the remaining two slots, I'm going to tell you who to give it to." Adam said before leaving, he had other things to take care of before focusing on his revenge. He had to properly bury his mother and let her soul rest in peace. Adam brought out his phone and called Stacey. “Hel

The landlord was frozen in shock, he knew for sure the apartment wasn't worth close to ten million. At best it's $500k. In less than thirty minutes Adam signed some papers as the new owner of the apartment. He instantly called some construction engineers to build a grave inside of the house and renovate the house, securing it with an iron gate and fence. It was supposed to take more than a day, but Adam ordered triple times the number of workers to make everything done before the night falls. After they finished, Adam and his men, along with Stacey, stood around the grave, dressed in black. The night was cold and quiet, just the way Adam wanted—no witnesses, no questions. The candles flickered in the breeze, their small flames dancing against the night sky. Adam stood stiffly at the edge of the grave, his fists clenched at his sides. His black shirt clung to his skin, damp from sweat, though the air was cool. The others stood silently around him, their faces drawn, their eyes

Racheal's statement made everyone think she had gone crazy. “What are you saying Racheal? Have you been drinking too much whiskey? Did you go partying last night?” Monica asked with a serious face. "Adam is a nobody, how can Mr. White bow to him?" Mr. Luther raised a brow. "I'm telling you what I saw with my own two eyes, father." "That bastard, I'm sure he had blackmailed Mr. White, he's an ex-convict anything is possible." Monica scorned. "That's exactly what Drake said." "Oh, poor Drake, is he alright?" Monica said with a soft voice. "Not really, his family was already given the contract, and he went to sign the agreement papers. But after his encounter with Adam, he lost the deal, and Mr. White also hit him in the face." "Oh my God, this trash had come to us with his bad luck again, how did he even escape from prison? What do we do?"Monica said worriedly. "I'll call Philip right away, he will explain what the hell is going on and why Adam isn't rotting in jail!" Mr. Luther

The air was thick with anticipation as they all read the email together. "I'm willing to forgive you for the humiliation your son caused me. But for that I'll want you and your entire family to apologize to me publicly, through a broadcast and maybe I can give you back the contract. Or else consider yourself my enemy! And you know what that means. I'll come to your house in the next two hours, arrange the broadcast."The message struck their hearts with terror, but also was a glimpse of hope, at least Mr. Manchester was willing to forgive them, they still have a chance.“This is a huge request, we can't afford such humiliation upon our Family.” Elena said in disagreement."What do we do father?" Jerry asked. Everyone looked at Mr. Penthouse he has the final say."There's nothing else to do. Everyone get ready, we only have two hours to arrange ourselves. Mr. Manchester will be here soon. And Jerry, call as many broadcasters as you can." Mr. Penthouse ordered, his hands shaking.Drake

Brenda, David, and Henry knelt in silence, the air heavy with guilt. Wendy’s cries had faded, but the sound of her being dragged off still haunted them. Henry winced as he moaned in pain, his broken leg barely holding him up. But it wasn’t just the injury. It was everything—they’d lost their daughter, their sister, and any chance of fixing things. Brenda slowly dropped to her knees. Her voice cracked. “Please... we know Wendy did wrong. But she’s still our family. We’re begging you. Please, forgive us.” Adam didn’t even blink. His gaze landed on her, cold and sharp. “No. Not you,” he said flatly. Brenda froze. “What?” “You don’t get to walk away from this,” Adam said. “Your family—especially you—have done enough damage to Tessa. You lied to her. Used her. Threw her away when it suited you.” He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t have to. “You deserve everything that’s happening to you.” Brenda tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come.

Tessa froze as her eyes took in the blood-streaked floor, the shattered furniture, and the bodies groaning in pain. Triston’s corpse lay lifeless in the center of the hall, surrounded by armed soldiers in full tactical gear. The stench of smoke and iron filled the air. She gripped Adam’s arm tightly. “What the hell happened here?” she asked, her voice sharp with confusion and disbelief. Adam’s expression didn’t change. Calm. Cold. “I dealt with everyone who tried to hurt you.” Tessa’s heart skipped. Her gaze darted across the room. Samuel wasn’t in sight. Neither was Wendy. “Wait—where’s Wendy? And Samuel?” she asked, eyes narrowing. “Adam… don’t tell me you—” “I didn’t kill them,” Adam cut in, reading her mind. “They’re not worth that. They’ve been arrested. That’s all.” Tessa let out a shaky breath, but it didn’t ease her mind. “Adam, I thought you said you wouldn’t go this far. Wendy... she’s still my family.” Adam turned to her with a sharp look. “Family? The same ‘family’

Confusion gripped the hall like a storm. Brenda dropped to her knees and crawled to Adam’s feet, her voice trembling.“Please, Adam... don’t do this to my daughter. Wendy’s still Tessa’s family. Have mercy.”Adam looked down at her, expression cold.“It’s funny seeing you this low,” he said with a faint smirk. “But mercy? Not this time. Wendy crossed a line. She’s hurt Tessa too many times. She’ll pay.”“Adam, please!” Brenda sobbed, clutching his ankle.He stepped past her like she was air. Hammer moved forward, planting himself between her and Adam.“No one moves,” Hammer growled.Adam headed back to the suite. Inside, Stacey sat by Tessa’s side, monitoring her vitals. Adam’s features softened the moment he saw her.He brushed her hair back gently and kissed her forehead.Tessa stirred. “Adam...?” Her voice was weak but laced with worry. She blinked herself awake, then suddenly sat up.“What happened? Was it Triston? Did he attack you?” Her hands checked him quickly, panic growing.

Wendy trembled on the ground, her face pale. Her legs were already broken, and now Adam had spoken of punishment."No… no, please…" she whimpered, trying to crawl away, dragging her bloodied limbs.Samuel lay unconscious beside her, his face soaked in sweat, twitching occasionally from the pain. But Adam wasn’t done.He turned to one of Hammer’s men.“Wake him up.”The soldier stepped forward with a bucket of icy water and threw it over Samuel’s face.“AHHH!” Samuel jolted upright, screaming as the pain from his shattered legs surged through his body again. “W-What… what’s happening?!”Adam stepped forward, towering above them like judgment itself.“Let’s talk, shall we?” he said, his voice calm… too calm. “About Tessa. About the little kidnapping stunt you pulled.”Wendy shook her head, fast. “We didn’t do anything! You’re making things up! I swear—”Adam pulled out his phone. With a swipe, a recording echoed through the silent hall:> “Show up alone, Adam, or we’ll slit her throat l

Lord Hammer strode forward, boots thudding like judgment itself. He stopped before Adam and gave a slight nod. No words were exchanged, but something passed between them—an unspoken recognition of rank.Then he turned to face the stunned crowd.“You dared defy a higher authority,” Hammer’s voice rang out, deep and cold. “And now, you will face the consequences.”Triston's face twisted in confusion. “Higher authority?” he echoed, baffled.“What do you mean, Lord Hammer? I haven’t offended anyone!”Adam stepped forward, handing Tessa gently into Stacey’s arms. “Take her inside. Let her rest—the toxins will wear off soon.”Then he turned back to Triston with a cold, arrogant smile.“You fool,” Adam said. “He’s talking about me. I’m the highest authority in this room.”Triston’s eyes widened. “You? How dare you involve yourself in this? Are you suicidal?”Suddenly—CRACK!Hammer’s foot connected with Triston’s jaw. The sound of splintering bone echoed. Triston screamed as his teeth flew ou

Triston’s forces flooded the hall like a wave of black-clad thunder. Within seconds, they surrounded Adam and Stacey, fully armed and outnumbering them nearly ten to one. But Adam?He didn’t flinch.“I won’t say it again,” Adam said, voice like steel. “Drop her.”Triston scoffed, as if Adam's words were nothing but wind.“Still barking?” he sneered. “You insulted Lord Chaosbreaker and still have the guts to act tough? I’ll personally snap every bone in your body.”Adam’s eyes narrowed. “Did Marvin send you?” His voice was cold, lethal. He didn’t believe Marvin would be foolish enough to try this. And if he had—Adam could erase him with a single phone call.But Triston only laughed.“Lord Chaosbreaker doesn’t need to say a word. I serve him. I live to please him. And when I bring him your head—” he grinned, eyes wild, “he’ll know who truly deserves his favor.”Adam clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “So you did this on your own? You must really want to die.”Triston’s face twisted w

“I told you—I’d come back for you.”Triston’s voice was a low growl, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with vengeance. His men moved like shadows, swarming the hallway outside the presidential suite with ruthless precision.He hadn’t forgotten what Adam did. Insulting Marvin was one thing—but mocking him publicly had sealed his fate. Triston had only escorted Marvin home to ensure his safety. After that, he returned to fulfill his promise by ending Adam.He'd received information that Adam was a skilled fighter so he arranged tactical men to handle this situation. He's going to punish Adam publicly.“Take him away!” Triston barked.One of his men hesitated. “And what about the lady?”Triston’s eyes narrowed. “Carry her too.”Down below, as the soldiers descended the stairs with Adam and Tessa slumped unconscious on their shoulders, a murmur rose among the crowd.Samuel was still kneeling at the center, and upon seeing Adam limp in the arms of Triston’s men, his eyes lit up with glee. “Fi

Tessa answered without a trace of doubt.“I won’t regret it. If I get pregnant, I’ll keep the child. I’ll raise them—on my own, if I have to.”Her voice was soft but firm. In her heart, this was more than a promise—it was her way of repaying the man who had stood beside her when no one else did.Adam’s eyes lit up with a rare joy. Without warning, he swept her into his arms, drawing a gasp from her lips.“Tessa…” he whispered, overwhelmed. Then, louder—“I’ll make sure you never regret this.”“Bastards! You think you can do whatever you want?!” Samuel’s voice thundered from below, his rage echoing through the walls. He couldn’t hear their words, but he didn’t need to—he could see what was happening. And it drove him mad.Yet, the sun still hung in the sky. For now, he was powerless.Far off, Stacey had been watching the situation unfold. The moment she saw Adam carrying Tessa, she rushed to prepare the presidential suite.Upstairs, the room glowed with dim, golden light as Adam gently
