The Armand family was left in stunned silence, trying to make sense of Wilfred’s sudden turn. Just moments ago, he’d been courteous, but now he seemed unhinged.

“Mr. Wilfred, you’ve lost it!” Wendy snapped, furious after watching him strike Mark. “How could you hit Mr. Woods?”

Wilfred’s gaze sharpened as he backhanded Wendy, sending her stumbling back. “Silence! Mark is nothing to me—a privileged nobody. Who do you think you are, telling me how to act?”

Wendy, holding her cheek, glared back. “A moment ago, you were chatting with him like you were friends!”

“As if,” Wilfred scoffed, the disgust evident in his voice. “I was only tolerating your presence out of respect for Ms. Tessa.” He paused, casting a steely gaze over each of them. “But now I see this family has made the fatal mistake of crossing her.”

Brenda, still aching from her own beating, managed to gasp out, “We thought… we thought we were doing you a favor. Tessa humiliated your son, and you lost your hand because of her. We

    Wendy sneered, "Took you long enough to open the door. I’m going easy on you with just a slap."“You’re crossing the line, Wendy.” Tessa’s voice trembled with anger.“Oh, I’m not even close to done. Pack your trash and get out. This villa belongs to me now,” Wendy said coldly. “You have an hour.”“This is my home. What gives you the right to order me around?” Tessa’s patience was wearing thin. Just because she was kind-hearted didn’t mean she’d let Wendy walk all over her.Meeting Wendy had already been an unpleasant shock. But now, hearing that her cousin was trying to take her home? It was beyond infuriating.Wendy ignored her and clung to Mark’s arm. “Before I explain, let me introduce you to someone. You remember him, don’t you?”“Hello, Ms. Tessa, long time no see,” Mark said with a smirk, eyeing her from head to toe.It had been years since he last saw Tessa, and she looked more stunning than ever. He’d pursued her back then, but she had rejected every advance. Going abroad hadn

    While saying that, Wendy aggressively threw all the clothes out of the wardrobe and onto the floor, stomping on them with glee. Her eyes glinted with satisfaction as she watched Tessa’s face twist in fury."Are you happy now?" Tessa’s voice cracked, her frustration spilling out as tears welled up in her eyes. Anger mixed with disbelief in her chest as she turned around, ready to leave, but Wendy wasn’t finished.“Wait!” Wendy’s voice rang out, sharp and commanding as she grabbed for the Cursed-idol amulet around Tessa’s neck. “This belongs to the Armand family, doesn’t it? Hand it over.”“What are you doing? This is a gift from my husband! It doesn’t belong to you or the Armand family!” Tessa reacted quickly, clutching the pendant and pulling it protectively against her chest. She could leave behind everything else, but she couldn’t let Wendy take this away.The amulet wasn’t just jewelry. It was a reminder of the love Adam had shown her, a symbol of their bond, and though she wasn’t

    "You're looking for death!" A voice bellowed, shattering the silence as a figure suddenly crashed through the window.Mark froze, his eyes wide with shock as he whipped around to see a man stepping into the room with deliberate slowness, each footfall making the floor seem to tremble under his weight. The man’s gaze was sharp, cold, and indifferent—so piercing that it sent a shiver down Mark's spine."Who are you?" Mark demanded, his voice shaking, though he tried to mask his unease.The man who had entered was none other than Adam. He had just returned from grocery shopping when he heard Tessa's desperate cry. Without thinking, he had broken through the window, bypassing the door completely. His eyes were dark with fury, and an aura of pure, unrelenting rage surrounded him.The moment Adam laid eyes on Mark, a chilling wave of murderous intent radiated from him. His body seemed to hum with dangerous energy as if he were a predator ready to strike."How dare you lay a hand on my wife!

    Tessa stood frozen, her mind struggling to process what she had just witnessed. Up until now, she had always thought of Adam as someone slightly more capable than the average person—strong, confident, and dependable—but never in her wildest dreams had she imagined he could cripple Mark with a single move. Her gaze locked onto him, a mix of awe and admiration welling up inside her. He wasn’t just capable. Adam was... incredible.Her heart raced as she continued to watch, unable to tear her eyes away. Mark, once so brash and full of arrogance, was now on the ground, groaning in pain. The fear and desperation in his eyes were evident, a stark contrast to his previous smugness."I hate people who threaten me," Adam said coolly, his voice a low growl as he released Mark from his grip and, in one swift motion, slapped him across the face.The sound of the slap echoed through the room, sharp and clear, as Mark spun from the force of it before crumpling to the floor. Before he could even begi

    Adam didn’t even blink as Wendy swung the wine bottle toward him. With a single flick of his finger, he shattered it mid-air, sending shards of glass and droplets of wine scattering across the room like a spray of glitter. Wendy’s eyes went wide, shock momentarily paralyzing her as she registered the sight. Before she could react, Adam’s hand came down hard across her face in a swift, punishing slap.He didn’t stop at just one strike. Another followed, then another, each blow landing with unyielding precision and force. Wendy stumbled backward, dazed and disoriented, her hands instinctively raising to protect her face. But it was pointless. Adam’s strikes were relentless, leaving her disheveled and broken, her once-proud face swollen and battered beyond recognition. Blood trickled from her mouth, and she could feel the jagged, empty spaces where her teeth had been knocked loose.The silence that fell was chilling, punctuated only by Wendy’s faint, pained breaths. Adam’s voice cut thro

    Adam couldn’t help but let a satisfied smirk creep onto his face as he thought about the events unfolding exactly as he had planned. He moved aside, pulling out his phone and dialing Hammer’s number with a practiced ease.The line barely rang before Hammer answered. “Lord Adam,” he greeted, his voice tinged with a mixture of respect and nervousness.“Why hasn’t Wilfred gotten Tessa to sign the contract yet?” Adam’s tone was sharp, leaving no room for excuses.Hammer, sensing the frustration in Adam’s voice, quickly responded. “Sir, I was just about to report this. Wilfred went to the Armand residence to deliver the contract, but Ms Tessa was turned away by her family before she could even take a look at it.”Adam’s jaw tightened. “And what did Wilfred do?”“After they insulted her, he decided to teach them a lesson,” Hammer replied, his voice steady. “He left the contract there and warned the Armands to bring Ms Tessa back to sign it—if they know what’s good for them.”Adam’s expressi

    Tessa wanted to pull away, to resist the overwhelming pull of Adam’s embrace, but he held her firmly. His hands were gentle yet insistent as he cupped her chin, guiding her face toward his, preventing any attempt to escape. Adam had waited too long for this moment, and now that he had it, he wasn’t about to let it slip away. He leaned in, capturing her lips in a kiss that was both demanding and tender.The kiss lingered for what felt like an eternity, lasting for a full two minutes. Tessa was breathless when Adam finally pulled away, her heart racing and her body trembling. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, the color of ripe apples, glowing with the heat of the moment. They looked so tempting, so kissable, and Adam couldn't resist. He leaned in again, his lips finding hers with renewed urgency. This time, he pressed her back onto the couch, his hands exploring her, his body pushing her further into the cushions.Tessa was overwhelmed. At first, she didn’t resist, surrendering to the

    The days that followed were surprisingly calm. Adam had settled into the Armand residence, slipping naturally into the role of Tessa’s personal driver. Despite the Armand family’s initial disdain, they hadn’t crossed any overt lines. They would cast disdainful looks or drop subtle insults, but Adam, focused on the bigger picture, chose to ignore them. His silent patience only seemed to frustrate them more, but he felt a quiet satisfaction in maintaining his composure. For now, the quiet suited him perfectly.The only thorn in his side was the bet he had won with Tessa. She'd allowed him to stay in her room, but her compromise had clear boundaries—literally. She had drawn an invisible line down the center of the bed, enforcing a strict “do not cross” rule. Adam found himself lying in bed each night, close enough to feel her warmth, yet forbidden from moving an inch closer. This silent restraint was both infuriating and amusing; he couldn't help but smirk each night as he eyed the imagi

    Drake's power grew. Everything seemed to be under control, and he seemed to be loving it so much. He had archived all that was needed, and what was left was simple. He was finally going to be able to work things out for himself. “Now that I'm occupying a great office, how about I do something to change my life,” he expressed, and just then there was a knock on the door thsh interrupted him. At first he smiled, and then he frowned again. Everything was supposed to be alright, but it didn't seem like it. His secretary who was now on his side was the one who came into the room. On her face was concern, and in her hands were some files. “Here's the file you asked for Mr drake…” she commented with a smirk and immediately got a nod from him. As soon as she handed him the document, he used his eyes to scan it, and he nodded, waving her off with his hands before he was finally able to do anything else. Once she was gone, he squinted his eyes. The budget was about 10 million but he thou

    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

    “What nonsense are you spouting? We’re kneeling for Lord Chaosbreaker, not for a bastard like you!” Henry snapped, his voice cracking with rage.Samuel’s fists trembled as he glared daggers at Adam. “I don’t have time for your games. But mark my words—when night falls, I’ll tear you apart with my own hands.”Adam rose slowly from his seat, brushing imaginary dust from his shirt as if he hadn’t a care in the world. He walked toward them with lazy strides, then pulled out his phone and started recording.Samuel’s eyes narrowed. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”Henry growled, “Back off, Adam!”But Adam only chuckled, zooming in on their bent backs. “Careful, boys. Keep talking, and this video goes viral. Can’t wait to see the headlines: ‘Local Elites Bow Before One Man—Who Is He?’”A ripple of panic swept through the room. The once-proud men instinctively bowed their heads lower, afraid of becoming laughingstocks.Adam’s grin faded the moment he put the phone away. He hadn’t pl

    “Adam, your days are numbered,” Samuel hissed through clenched teeth, eyes filled with murderous intent. “When darkness falls, I’ll dismantle you piece by piece. Only then will my hatred be satisfied.”Gerald’s face darkened as he pointed an accusing finger. “Tessa! Have you no shame? Sitting on a man’s lap in public like some cheap—”Tessa instinctively moved to get up, flustered, but Adam tightened his hold around her waist.Unbothered, Adam stared Gerald down. “She’s my woman. What’s the issue with her sitting on my lap?”“You’re divorced!” Gerald barked. “You have no right to touch her anymore. Let her go, now.”“That’s right!” Eleanor and Richard chimed in furiously. “She’s our daughter! Release her immediately!”Adam’s gaze turned ice-cold. “Are all of you deaf or just dense? The divorce agreement was signed, sure—but it was never filed. Legally, she’s still my wife.”He let that sink in before continuing with a smirk. “So whether I hold her, kiss her, or take her upstairs to a

If you give him a single cent, you’re no longer my daughter!”Eleanor will rather giving that money to a homeless person than to give it to Adam.Gerald stepped in coldly, his tone heavy with finality. “Your mother’s right.
