The sound of footsteps pulled her from her thoughts. A man emerged from the dim light, dressed in an outfit that made him almost unrecognizable. He wore a sleek black hoodie over a fitted T-shirt, paired with dark jeans. A baseball cap and tinted glasses obscured most of his face, giving him a mysterious air.

Rhea’s heartbeat quickened at the sight of him. She was already smitten by his voice over the phone, but seeing him in person—dark, enigmatic, and alluring—sealed the deal.

“I’ve been waiting,” she said, her voice sweet and flirtatious.

Adam smirked under the brim of his cap. “I didn’t keep you waiting too long, did I?”

“No, not at all.” She took a step closer, her heels clicking softly against the marble floor. Then, lowering her voice, she asked, “So... this penthouse... wasn’t it Adam’s?”

Adam gave a low chuckle, effortlessly slipping into his Mr. Manchester persona. “That’s what Adam wanted everyone to believe. But no—this place has always been mine.”

Rhea laughed, rolling he

    Racheal shifted uneasily on the edge of the couch, her wrists already marked by the silk ropes that hung loosely at her sides. Adam stood across from her, rolling up the sleeves of his crisp black shirt, a wicked grin curling on his lips. He had dressed differently tonight—his usual sharp suits replaced with dark slacks and a plain black t-shirt, a cap pulled low over his face, and tinted glasses masking the gleam in his eyes. It was a disguise designed to unsettle, making him unrecognizable yet intimidating."Take a deep breath," Adam whispered, holding up the soft restraints with a lazy twirl. "It’s going to be a long night."Racheal tried to muster her pride, but her defiance wavered as he stepped closer. "You can’t... You won’t—"Adam crouched in front of her, his hands moving with steady precision as he guided her wrists together. “If you want the money,” he whispered, looping the silk around her skin, “you’ll do exactly as I say.”Her breathing hitched, but she stayed silent.

    For thirty minutes, Adam made Racheal his slut, each thrust fueled by his anger and hatred towards her. Her moans were loud and painful. She cried in regrets, losing herself to Adam, the last person on earth, she'll ever think of sleeping with. But she was also impressed on his performance in bed.After what felt like an eternity with Racheal, Adam stepped out of the dimly lit room, a sense of satisfaction coursing through him. Racheal had fallen asleep from the intense sex,he untied her hands and placed her on the bed. He wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, grinning at the power he had exerted over her. It was time for the second sister.Rhea was waiting for him, her excitement palpable. She looked up as he entered, her eyes wide with anticipation. “What took you so long?” she asked, her voice playful, but there was an edge of nervousness beneath her words.Adam didn’t answer. Instead, he closed the distance between them, cupping her face with one hand and silencing her with a deep,

    Racheal stirred awake, her body still tingling from the previous night’s intense encounter. Confusion washed over her as she blinked against the morning light filtering through the curtains. She turned to the other side of the bed, expecting to see Adam, but the sheets were cold and empty. Panic gripped her. Had it all been a cruel joke?Her heart skipped a beat, and unease crept in like a slow chill. She sat up abruptly, scanning the room for any sign of him—his clothes, his scent, anything to indicate he hadn’t vanished. “Adam?” she called, her voice breaking slightly. The room echoed back with silence, amplifying her dread.She snatched her phone off the nightstand, her fingers trembling as she scrolled through her contacts. She pressed Adam’s number and held the phone to her ear, biting her lip anxiously. It rang once. Twice. Then straight to voicemail.“Dammit,” she muttered under her breath, tossing the phone aside. Her mind raced with questions. Did he just use me and leave? Wa

    “You really thought Adam would come up with two billion?” Robin sneered. “How stupid can you be, Racheal?”“I didn’t have a choice!” Racheal snapped, her voice shaky. “I was trying to save us!”“Save us?” Monica shot back with a sharp laugh. “You ruined us. You gave yourself to that scum for nothing! All for a deal we still don’t have.”Mr. Luther shook his head in disgust. “Of all the people you could trust, you chose Adam? He’s been playing games with you since the beginning.”Robin folded his arms and smirked. “And now you handed yourself to him on a silver platter. What were you thinking?”“I—” Racheal tried to explain, but Monica cut her off.“No, don’t try to justify it!” Monica snapped. “You’ve brought nothing but disgrace to this family.”Racheal’s lip quivered, the pressure of their accusations crushing her.“You’ve always been too emotional,” Mr. Luther said coldly. “Too weak to think things through. And now look where that’s gotten us.”Robin snorted. “She really thought th

    Racheal lay curled up on her bed, her pillow soaked with tears, her body still aching from the emotional abuse hurled at her by her family earlier. Every harsh word they spat echoed in her head—“Stupid!” “Useless!” “How could you trust that bastard?”She pressed her hands to her ears as if it would block out the insults. Her heart felt heavy, and anger bubbled beneath her pain. How could I have been so foolish? Why did I ever think Adam would help me?Her phone buzzed beside her, interrupting her thoughts. She wiped her eyes and glanced at the screen. Adam.Her blood boiled. She didn’t want to hear his voice, but rage overtook her, and she snatched up the phone. “What the hell do you want, you bastard?!” she screamed into the receiver. “Haven’t you done enough?”There was a pause on the other end before Adam’s voice came through, smooth and calm. “Racheal,” he said softly, “I know you hate me right now, and I understand. But we need to talk.”“Talk?” she scoffed bitterly, gripping the

    The day of the gala arrived.The grand ballroom glittered with chandeliers, and the most influential people in the city gathered, dressed in their finest. This year’s gala was the most important event of the season, all because the supreme general, Mr. Manchester, was expected to attend in person. Invitations were limited to the most influential elites, and rumors swirled about who would catch the general’s attention tonight.The Odia family arrived in style, radiating confidence. Monica held her head high, smiling proudly as she whispered to Theresa. “When Rhea announces her relationship with the supreme general, no one will dare disrespect this family again.” They were only able to get an invitation because, rumors had it that Rhea is the mistress of Mr. Manchester.Rhea smirked. “Just wait until they see us together.”A special chair had been reserved at the front for Mr. Manchester, and the room buzzed with anticipation. People whispered as the Odias mingled among the elite.“That

    Damian clenched his fist. “This isn’t the place for a nobody like you—especially in a borrowed suit.”Adam gave a short laugh. “Borrowed? Damian, you really think a man like me would need to borrow anything?” His voice was calm, but his words dripped with scorn. “You still haven’t gotten over Zeus Hall, I see. How’s the arm?”Damian sneered. “You should’ve stayed in whatever gutter you crawled out of, Adam. Because the next time I get my hands on you—”“Spare me,” Adam interrupted, waving a dismissive hand. “You couldn’t stop me then, and you won’t stop me now.”Rhea crossed her arms, scoffing. “You’re delusional if you think you belong here. This is an event for people of importance. Not scum like you.” She smiled smugly. “When the general arrives, he’ll have you thrown out—or worse.”Adam’s grin widened. “Oh, the supreme general? I’d love to meet him.”Rhea raised her chin, eyes glittering with superiority. “You’re looking at the future wife of the supreme general. I’ll make sure he

    The first thug lunged at Adam, throwing a punch aimed at his jaw. Adam sidestepped smoothly, his movements fluid and precise. Before the thug could react, Adam slammed an open palm into his chest. The man gasped, his ribs cracking under the force, and he flew backward, crashing into a table.The crowd gasped.The other mercenaries exchanged glances, momentarily stunned. But they quickly recovered, spreading out to attack Adam from all sides.Two came at him simultaneously—one swinging a baton toward his ribs, the other aiming a kick at his head.Adam ducked under the baton, twisting his body to avoid the kick, and retaliated with a brutal uppercut that shattered the kicker’s jaw. The man crumpled to the floor, groaning in pain.Without missing a beat, Adam caught the baton mid-swing, yanked it out of the thug’s hand, and used it to deliver a vicious blow to his knee. The man screamed, collapsing as his leg gave out.“Three down,” Adam said, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

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
