Ethan eyed Adam skeptically, searching for any hint of deceit. The audacity of Adam's calm demeanor made him hesitate. Was he bluffing, or did he truly possess the confidence to cure their mysterious ailment? Ethan exhaled heavily and crossed his arms.“Adam, don’t say I didn’t warn you,” Ethan began, his tone sharp. “If you dare trick us, you’ll refund every cent of that money—and you won’t stop there. We’ll make sure you regret it in ways you can’t imagine. Understand?”Adam met his gaze, unflinching. “I understand perfectly. Just follow the prescription as I’ve outlined it. The results will speak for themselves.”Ethan frowned but eventually gave a curt nod. After a short deliberation, he decided to try the prescription. He had little choice—this was their only shot at salvation.“Stacey, we’ll follow through,” Ethan muttered, still unsure. He glanced at his two bodyguards. “You two, stay here and keep an eye on him. Don’t let him out of your sight.”Stacey echoed his caution. “Mak
“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
“Stop Rhea, that's not true, it was an honest mistake!” Adam tried to keep her calm.Suddenly the entire family woke up, rushing to the scene. “What's going on Rhea?” Monica asked with concern.Immediately Rhea saw her family and she faked a cry making the whole scenario look real. “Mother” she cried and hugged Monica. “What's wrong Rhea, did someone hurt you?” Monica pet her on the head.“It's Adam's mother…” she pointed at Adam.The whole family gazed at Adam, meanwhile his heart skipped and he swallowed hard. “I swear to God it was a mistake”“You a*s hole! What did you do to my sister?!” Robin, the youngest son, grabbed Adam by the shirt.“Tell me sweetie what did Adam do to you? And why's your dress ruined?” “Mother-Adam tried to rape me, I just came in to drink some water and he suddenly grabbed me and started…” she cried harder. “He started harassing me, mother, I tried to escape and he ended up forcing himself on me and ruining my dress” she cooked up a story to cover up the
“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?
"Oh my God Drake, I didn't know you would actually make it." Racheal said excitedly."Anything for you babe." Drake replied"Babe?" Adam was puzzled, why was he calling her babe didn't he know she was married? Adam then looked at her finger and noticed she wasn't putting on their wedding ring."Why didn't Racheal wear her ring?"Suddenly Monica went to greet Drake."Oh my goodness, Racheal you didn't tell us you were close friends with the Penthouses, please bring him to come greet your father." She said happily.Drake nodded and was taken to Mr Luther."Good evening Mr Luther, I'm excited to finally meet you in person." Drake shook hands with Mr. Luther."It is also an honor to have you as our guest, I didn't realize you were this close with my daughter. I believe this will be beneficial to both parties." Mr. Luther replied."Yes of course.""You can go enjoy the party with Rachael, we'll discuss properly after the party.""Alright Mr. Luther. Come on Rachel." He wrapped his hands ar
"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
"You're crazy and unbelievable Adam, how can you ask for such a thing?" Racheal was in outrage. "Yes I am crazy! I want it back, you don't deserve it. I regretted risking my life to save yours!" Monica's face turned beet red with rage, her eyes bulging in disbelief. "How dare you, Adam! You are ungrateful, manipulative...!" She spluttered, her words trailing off as she struggled to contain her fury. "Your daughter is the manipulative one here, I want my kidney back, I want it back! And I also want the 10 million dollars and I'll leave your family for good." As the celebrant and her family weren't present in the party, most of the guests had already gathered around witnessing the whole scenario and their whispers filled the air. "Well Rachael didn't beg you to donate your kidney for her, you did that out of your own free will. Father say something. This scum needs to rot in jail." Robin said in fury. Mr. Luther glared wickedly at Adam, but Adam didn't even flinch, he was don
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
