Later that day, Tessa remained in her room, her face swollen from crying all night. She felt empty, exhausted, and more alone than ever. No matter how many times she tried, she couldn’t reach Adam. At this point, she was convinced—he had blocked her.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

“I’m not hungry, Mom!” she called out dismissively.

She hadn’t eaten all day, despite her mother’s insistence. She assumed it was another attempt to force her to eat—until the door creaked open.

It wasn’t her mother.

“Wendy?” Tessa’s brows furrowed in confusion. “What are you doing here?”

Wendy stood at the doorway, holding a tray of food. The sight alone was enough to unsettle Tessa. They had never gotten along—Wendy had despised her for years. Seeing her act considerate now felt… off.

“I came to make sure you’ve eaten today,” Wendy said, her voice unusually soft.

Tessa narrowed her eyes. “Since when do you care about me? If you’re here to mock me, just get out.”

    Tessa pulled away from the hug, settling on the bed with Wendy. “Thank you, Tessa, for giving me a chance. You really have the kindest heart,” Wendy said, her voice soft with gratitude. Tessa smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just happy you’ve realized your mistakes and changed for the better.” Wendy’s lips curled into a forced smile. “You know, Tessa, we’ve never really spent time together as family. So, I thought… why don’t we have a little party? Just you and me.” Tessa tensed. She knew the kind of parties Wendy attended, and she wanted no part in them. “Uh, Wendy, you know I don’t really do nightlife…” she said hesitantly. “Oh, don’t worry!” Wendy reassured her quickly. “No strippers, no wild scenes—I planned something classy, just for you. Just a simple dinner outing.” Tessa hesitated but eventually nodded. “Alright then.” Wendy’s smile widened. “Thank you for agreeing! I love you, sister.” She hugged Tessa again before standing. “I’ll make the arrangements. We’ll leave tonight.”

    Tessa shifted uncomfortably in her seat, glancing at the side mirror. A black sedan trailed them, keeping a suspiciously steady distance. Her pulse quickened. She turned to Wendy, who was engrossed in her phone, fingers flying across the screen as she chatted with someone. Tessa’s gut told her something wasn’t right. She had never fully trusted Wendy, and this only made her more suspicious. She started feeling that she made a big mistake coming along with Wendy without informing anyone. “Wendy, I think we’re being followed,” she said, her voice low but urgent. She gestured toward the mirror, hoping Wendy would take her seriously. Wendy barely looked up. “You’re overthinking, Tessa. No one’s following us. Who would even be tracking us?” she said dismissively. Before Tessa could argue, headlights flooded the car from the front. Another vehicle was approaching fast, cutting off their path. Panic surged through her. “We’re being followed! Take us back home—now!” she ordered the drive

    "Nice to see you again, Tessa." Samuel's voice was laced with amusement, his smirk radiating cruelty. Tessa’s breathing grew heavy. “Wendy…?” she whispered, her stomach twisting as she looked at her supposed sister. “Nice work,” Samuel praised, nodding at Wendy. Realization hit Tessa like a lightning bolt. She should have never trusted Wendy. “You…” Before she could finish, Wendy swung a rock at her head. A sharp, blinding pain shot through her skull, and darkness swallowed her whole. Tessa collapsed, unconscious. Wendy exhaled sharply, shaking her sore hand. “You fool! You almost killed me!” she snapped at Samuel. Samuel shrugged. “You were the one who wanted the tires shot out.” “Still! What if I died?” Wendy seethed. Samuel chuckled. “Relax. You’re still breathing, aren’t you?” Wendy shot him a glare before composing herself. “Now, onto the real plan.” She picked up Tessa’s phone, a wicked smile creeping onto her lips. “We use her to lure Adam out.” Samuel smirked, turnin

    “What?” Tessa’s eyes widened in shock. “I will never marry you! Not like this!” Samuel let out a low chuckle. “You don’t have much time, Tessa.” His voice was calm, but laced with warning. “Tomorrow is the banquet. Chaosbreaker, Tristan, and Adam will all be there.” He leaned in slightly. “If you change your mind, tell the guards.” With that, he tossed the papers onto her lap and walked away without another word. Tessa sat frozen, her thoughts spiraling. She had signed the divorce papers to protect Adam from Tristan, but it was pointless. Samuel wouldn’t stop until Adam was dead. The next morning, Adam stepped off his private jet, his expression dark and unreadable. Stacey followed closely behind, but all eyes were on Lord Hammer and the men kneeling before him. “Forgive me, Lord Adam,” Hammer said, his voice heavy with guilt. “I failed to protect Lady Tessa once again.” Adam’s fists clenched at his sides, his entire presence radiating danger. He had expected Samuel and Wendy to

    Back at the Armand mansion, the tension was suffocating. The family had been searching for Tessa all night, and frustration was mounting with each passing minute.“Where the hell is that girl?” Gerald slammed his cane against the floor, his voice echoing through the grand hall. “Tonight’s the banquet, and she needs to be there! This isn’t a game!”“I don’t know, Father.” Eleanor sighed, rubbing her temples. “I’ve checked the entire mansion—her room, the gardens, even the servants’ quarters. She’s not here.”Gerald turned to her sharply. “And her phone?”“I’ve tried calling her multiple times, but it’s switched off.”His expression darkened. “That girl dares to go missing on such an important night? Does she not understand what’s at stake? That daughter of yours is getting on my nerves!”The room fell into tense silence until Wendy strolled in, an amused smirk on her face.Richard’s eyes narrowed. “Wendy, have you seen Tessa?”Wendy let out a mocking laugh. “Why would I?

    Blood drained from Wendy’s face as she stumbled backward, retreating to the safety of her family’s side. Her knees felt weak. Adam’s cold, unwavering gaze was suffocating.Suddenly, Gerald stepped forward, his voice thundering through the room.“You!” he roared. “What the hell are you doing back in this mansion? After everything, I told you never to return! Are you here to cause more chaos?”But Adam didn’t flinch. His eyes never left Wendy. His voice, low and biting, cut through the noise.“I asked a question,” he growled. “Where. Is. Tessa?”Brenda immediately stepped in, scoffing as she placed herself between Wendy and Adam.“What’s wrong with you?” she snapped. “Why would my daughter know anything about Tessa’s whereabouts? Are you delusional, or just trying to stir up drama again?”Eleanor’s face twisted in contempt.“You disgusting brute,” she spat. “You walk back in here like you still belong. You brought nothing but bad luck to Tessa—and to all of us. If she’s missing, it’s no

    Wendy struggled violently, trying to rip her hand from Adam’s iron grip, but it was no use. His hold was unshakable.“Let go of me, you freak!” she cried, twisting her wrist.“Let go of my daughter!” Brenda screamed, charging forward and grabbing Wendy’s other arm, pulling with all her might. “David! What the hell are you doing just standing there? Help us, you idiot!”David blinked, startled, then scrambled toward them. The three of them pulled and tugged, but Adam’s grip didn’t loosen. His muscles didn’t even twitch.It was like trying to move a statue.“GUARDS!” Wendy screamed. “NOW!”Suddenly, heavy footsteps thundered through the mansion. One by one, twenty massive men in black suits stormed in, forming a line behind the family.Wendy, still in Adam’s hold, grinned in pain. “I knew you’d come. So I made preparations. These aren’t ordinary guards—they’re trained fighters. You're finished, Adam.”Adam raised an eyebrow and slowly released her hand. As Wendy and her parents stumbled

    Wendy and Brenda slowly backed away, horror etched across their faces as they watched Adam—bloodied, bruised, but still standing tall in that wheelchair—surrounded by unconscious men.“I... I don’t know where she is,” Wendy stammered, voice barely a whisper.Adam’s gaze darkened. “Lying won’t save you, Wendy,” he snapped. “I’m not asking again. Where is Tessa?”Wendy trembled uncontrollably, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.“Alright—your time’s up.”Adam reached for his baton, but his phone buzzed.He answered sharply. “What?”“Lord Adam,” Stacey’s voice came through urgently, “I’ve found her. Tessa’s location is confirmed. Sending it to you now.”A breath of relief escaped Adam’s lips. His eyes didn’t leave Wendy.“I’ll deal with you later.”He spun his wheelchair around and rolled out of the mansion, his aura leaving a cold trail behind.Wendy’s heart was hammering in her chest. She dropped to her knees, gasping for breath.Gerald watched Adam go, his brows de

    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. There was nothing left to say. Adam t

    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
