“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 fact that she went out late at night.

“What! How dare you piece of trash!” Monica, excused Rhea and walked up to Adam delivering three hot slaps meanwhile Robin still held his shirt. “How dare you try to sleep with my daughter?”

“That's not true, I didn't try to rape Rhea, you know I would never do that”

“This is an abomination, you tried to rape your own sister in-law, I'll break your bones!” Robin delivered punches on his face.

Adam held his bleeding nose, his clothes were already stained with blood. His cruel Aunty in-law chimed in. “Oh my goodness!” She held her mouth with her hands. “How could you try something this horrible Adam? Monica I suggest you call the police right away, he should be arrested!” she suggested.

Meanwhile Rhea smiled, she had finally gotten her revenge on Adam. Ever since Adam exposed her of taking hard drugs she had had a strong grudge against him. And today he had entered her trap.

“You're not getting away with this Adam, I'll make sure you pay for this and get arrested first thing tomorrow, I'm going to inform Luther about this” she said.

Rhea was glad as she heard her mother planning on telling her father. Her relationship with her father was severed after Adam exposed her to the whole family for taking cocaine and now finally when Luther found out what Adam did to her, his thoughts about her might change and Adam will be the bad one.

Adam fell to his knees and pleaded. “Please ma'am I would never try to do such a thing, I didn't tried to rape Rhea I only hugged her thinking she was my wife, it was with a sleepy eyes I swear to God”

“You disgusting man!” Robin kicked him with his leg, sending Adam lying on the ground.

“You'll answer to the whole family tomorrow, come on Rhea let's go inside” Monica said taking her daughter inside. The rest of the family followed.

Adam remained on the floor, his biggest fear was what Rachael was going to say about this, and also his father in law Luther. He was the only one who seemed to accept Adam a very little bit.

But now everything was about to change, Luther went for a business trip and he'll be returning first thing in the morning for his daughter's birthday party.

“I'm doomed, I'll be in so much trouble tomorrow, God please help me out on this one”

The night ran quickly and it was morning, Adam tried so much not to fall asleep but ended up falling asleep on the couch.

“Adam! Wake up you slum!” The voice of his wife jolted him back to reality.

“R-rachael… you're back. Happy birthday sweet…” he rushed his words to welcome his wife, but unfortunately he received a slap that sent him back on the couch.

“How dare you? What did you do to Rhea?” Rachael said viciously.

“Calm down Rachael, at least let me explain” Adam said getting up on his feet.

“There's nothing to explain!” Rhea walked to the scene and so did the rest of the family.

“You have to deal with him Rachael, divorce this bastard this instance he tried to rape your sister, his own sister in law” Monica added.

“How much more worthless can you be Adam? Today's my birthday for crying out loud and this is how you repay me? By forcing yourself on my sister in my absence?”

“Racheal. Please don't say that, you know I can never do such a thing. You know me too well Rachael.” Adam felt heart broken that even his dear wife thinks such of him.

How could she?

“I agree that I'm a worthless and useless husband, I agree that I'm broke and can't buy you anything expensive. But I'm not a rapist and I can never look at another woman, not to mention your own sister” Adam's voice was trembling as he spoke, his world was colliding.

Rachael looked at his eyes and saw sincerity, she suddenly felt horrible for judging and slapping him after knowing Adam was not such a person. She felt weak all of a sudden. But she still didn't want to show her weakness around him. She still hated him for being broke and worthless and nothing is going to change that.

She turned her gaze at her sister Rhea. Rhea was startled she recognized that look from her sister, it was a look of “I know you're lying Rhea”

“Do…don't believe what he's saying Rachael” Rhea tried to defend herself as her elder sister walked up to her. “Come with me!” Racheal said, dragging her down to her room.

“What're you doing Racheal, don't tell me you believe this scandal?” Her mother tried to stop her.

Rachael dragged Rhea in her room and shut the door. She then gave Rhea two hot slaps.

“Why did you do that? Why did you make up such a lie?” Racheal gestured with her finger.

“Rachel…you slapped me” Rhea asked in shock.

“And I'll do that again if you don't tell me the truth!” Racheal said abruptly. Even if she doesn't have any feelings for Adam, she still felt like Rhea went too far. A rape accusations could send him to jail.

“So you're actually siding him over me?” Rhea faked a tear.

“Don't bring that up. Adam could never do such a thing, I know you're only trying to get back at him for exposing you to dad. You went too far Rhea.”

Rhea clenched her fist, she couldn't believe her sister was taking the side of that good-for-nothing man. What could he even offer?

“I know you were at the club last night, explain this” Racheal said as she went to her drawer and brought out Rhea’s dress that was ruined last night. “Explain what happened to your dress and why you were wearing such a thing in the mansion if you weren't coming from a party. I got a call Rhea you just broke up with that boyfriend of yours Kendrick and you too had a fight”

Rhea was silent, she was caught red handed and she didn't know how to hide the truth any longer, she tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact. But then she spoke up.

“So what Rachael? What if I did, why'd you care so much? Adam needs to get out of this house and I'm only helping you do what you're unable to do. You need to divorce him, I know even you don't like him and are ashamed of him, you're no longer sick and disabled Racheal, you can accept one of your many suitors who are actually millionaires. People like Drake.

“Get rid of that trash, he can't give you true happiness Racheal. You need someone who will match our family's status and make us proud, Adam isn't that man. Wake up Rachael” Rhea held her arms and shook her .

Racheal looked at her sister's eyes and then at the floor, her sister was making a lot of sense. Adam was not adding anything to her life anyways, he's just a barrier to her happiness.

“Even if I want to divorce Adam. You know I can't because of Dad” Rachael said, clenching her fist tight.

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

    "Now are you ready to comply?" Philip smirked, he was certain after this time, Adam would have no choice but to agree and sign the divorce papers. With so much difficulty Adam spoke, his voice cracking. "I won't." Does he have a death wish? Philip was so furious, he felt like ripping Adam apart, but he couldn't risk killing him here in the station. If he was ever going to get rid of him it'll be outside the station. "What do we do sir, he's refusing to sign the papers, should we continue beating him?" One of the officers asked. "No, wait. I'll call Mr. Luther first."

    Philip and his men drove Adam to the island, they used a helicopter to travel to the prison, sharks and wild sea monsters roam around the sea, which is the main reason prisoners can't escape. Adam's heart sank, his breath catching in his throat. Hell-gate. The mere mention sent shivers down his spine. He'd heard the whispers, the horror stories of brutal treatment and unspeakable atrocities within those foreboding walls. No one escaped Hell-gate. No one survived its depths. The prison's reputation was a death sentence, a fate worse than execution. They dragged Adam like a limp ragdoll, his battered body leaving a crimson smear on the cold, grey corridors. The guards tossed him into the cell with a careless heave, his limbs splayed awkwardly on the concrete floor. Philip's voice dripped with malice as he leaned in, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "Welcome to your new home, boy. You'll rot here. "Twenty four hours of darkness, one meal a day, one toilet break. Don't even t

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.

    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.

    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?

    “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.

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.
