"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 around her waist and they walked away to the dancing floor. Adam kept staring at them, he didn't bother about serving the guests anymore. He was envious how everyone was adoring Drake, even his own wife. The DJ played the music and everyone started dancing. Drake grabbed Racheal and they both started dancing like an actual couple. Everyone clapped and started taking pictures of them. The penthouse was among the top three most influential and wealthy families in Almond City with several companies. Drake was a guy that all ladies dream of having. Rich, handsome, tall and powerful. "Oh they are so cute together." Monica was overjoyed. Adam gritted his teeth, he couldn't tolerate how Drake was being so close and romantic with Racheal, and the way he was touching her body, something even he hasn't done before. Everything was becoming clearer to Adam. 'I get it now, she didn't want Drake to know she's married, that's why she made me become a waiter and refused to put on our wedding ring. How dare she do this to me?' As the atmosphere was becoming intense with the two lovebirds Adam walked to them. "You need to stop right now Racheal!" His voice was slow and commanding. Racheal, Monica, Theresa and the rest of the family were in shock of his statement. "Who's this man?" Drake asked, gesturing at Adam. "I'm her husband, you son of a bitch, and you need to stop getting too close to a married woman." Adam spoke with so much confidence. "What's wrong with you Adam, do you know who you're talking to?" Racheal said to him. "Oh, this useless son-in-law of ours is about to disgrace us as he always has." Monica shakes her head in disappointment. "Nothing is wrong with me Racheal! You're the one who's lost it. I don't care who he is, you shouldn't be dancing this way with another man. I now know the reason you want me to be a waiter at your birthday party, because you want him to believe you are single." The more Adam spoke the more his anger rose. "Hey mind your manners you low life man, you don't know who I am." Drake felt embarrassed speaking to someone as low as Adam. "Who's the Racheal, is this the bastard you were telling me about?" He asked. "Hey I'm not a bastard I'm her husband." "Yes, he's the one." Racheal replied in shame, she was heavily regretting why she ever met Adam. "What? You told him that? You told him I was a bastard? I'm your husband Racheal, you shouldn't disrespect me in front of him." “Shut up Adam, just shut up! You have no idea who Drake is, his shoes alone are what more than your life, he's a billionaire compared to a penniless man like you. And you need to realized we were only married by contract not by choice “ "Don't stress your voice darling. I think I'm going to teach him some valuable lessons." Drake said, he folded his sleeves and tried to throw a punch at Adam. Adam easily grabbed his wrist and threw his own punch with his other hand. Immediately blood oozed out from his nostrils, as he rushed to the floor. "Oh my God! Adam, what have you done?" Racheal and her mother ran to help Drake up. The crowd went wide. "Did that waiter just punch Drake Penthouse?" "Who's that servant?" "How can he claim to be Rachael's husband?" “Did he know who Drake is? Son of the richest man in Almond City?” Cameras were all over the place recording the whole scene. "Hey!!" Suddenly Drake's bodyguards matched in to aid their boss. "Don't come to me, get that slum, beat him to a pulp." He ordered. He grabbed Adam by the chest and tossed him to the floor. The rain blows and kicks all over his body. Adam was covered in bruises, abruptly Mr. Luther intervened. "That's enough!" He raised his hand and the body guards halted, there was a minute of silence in the hall. Mr. Luther waited for Adam to get up from the floor before he spoke. "Get out of here!" He ordered with no trace of emotions from his voice. "But father..." "I said get out!" Adam stood up and walked sluggishly out of the hall. Rachael and Rhea glanced at each other and exchanged gestures. Rhea smiled and walked away, their first plan was successful now it's time for the second. Adam was surely going to get out of their lives. Adam found solace outside of the mansion, he sat at a corner under the night sky, his mood down, his body covered in bruises and his mind buried in thoughts. "Did I make a mistake by interrupting them? Maybe I should have just ignored them and continued to service the guests." Adam thought, but how could he? How could he tolerate another man dancing romantically with his wife? Her words of reminding him he only married her because he needed assistance for his mother's treatment hurt him so hard. Not too long a servant walked up to him. "Hello sir Adam, Racheal had asked you to meet her in her room." The servant said bowing slightly. "What? Right now?" He asked to be sure "Yes sir Adam, she wants you in a room right away." "Alright I'll be there shortly." Adam took a deep sigh. Adam stayed for a while, trying to think why Racheal would be calling him in the middle of her birthday party. Was she going to scold him for what he did? He then got up and left. Adam went straight to her room, he tried knocking but the room was opened so he just walked in. As Adam entered the room, he was enveloped in darkness, but his eyes quickly adjusted to reveal Racheal's silhouette, she was still putting on the red dress. "Racheal? Why are you staying in the dark." Adam asked, reaching for the light switch, but she swiftly grasped his hand, her grip gentle yet firm. With a subtle pull, she drew him closer, her face inches from his. Then, in a movement that left him breathless, she pressed her lips to his, the darkness around them melting away.

"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.

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

"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 brought out his phone and dialed Mr. Luther's number. "Hello Mr. Luther." Mr. Luther picked on the first ring, hoping for good news. "Officer Philip, have you made that trash sign the papers?" "He's refusing to sign the papers no matter how much we forced him to." Philip said with a sigh at the end. "What do you mean? I trusted you with this job. Beat him up and make him sign it."

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.

"What do you mean by that? Who are you to tell me that?" "Doctor Bryan you can proceed." She said to the old man. "Thank you Stacey." He smiled. "Why'd you bring a doctor?" "Doctor Bryan here is not just any doctor but also a Neurologist and a cognitive rehabilitation therapist. One of the best healers the world can afford, and as a matter of fact you too used to be very close. Right Bryan." Stacey stated. "That's right Lord Adam, we used to be close friends. I used to be one of your teachers." "But I don't know you." Adam, still in confusion, said. "You will in an hour. Adam Manchester, you are a soldier, not just any soldier you are Coastal Flair most powerful ally, the country's greatest force. The supreme general among all four generals." Doctor Bryan stated as he moved around Adam. "Coastal Flair

Doctor Bryan out of fear was about to turn it off but then Adam's thunderous voice commanded. "No! Don't turn it off, I want my memories, I want it all!!" He yelled as forceful tears escaped from his eyes and his veins bulged out. As the boot reached 100% Adam broke the belt with his bear strength, all the electricity sparked and went off for some seconds before restoring back to power. Stacey smiled emotionally, this was the Adam she knew incredibly strong and powerful. "Are you okay Lord Adam?" She asked but he kept silent, breathing heavily, he fell on the floor but supported himself with his arms, Stacey ran to help him up but he gestured her to stop. "I remember now. I remember who I am.

She clutched her face, groaning in agony, unable to get up for a long time.Gasps of shock filled the hall.Everyone who didn’t know Adam was frozen in disbelief.

Wendy's body hit the ground hard after flying a shocking six feet through the air. A few of her bloodied teeth scattered across the polished floor, a stark and chilling sight.

Each attempt ended with her collapsing back down, unable to summon the strength to stand.Brenda was the first to recover from the shock of what had just happened. Her face twisted with panic as she rushed to her daughter’s side, kneeling beside her trembling form. “Wendy! How are you feeling?

At that moment, Adam’s heart felt as if it had been torn to shreds. Every word Tessa had spoken earlier replayed in his mind like a haunting echo, each syllable cutting deeper than the last. It was as though a thousand needles were stabbing him simultaneously, each one a sharp reminder of his perceived failures.Samuel, eager to capitalize on the situation, wasted no time. “Ashford, bring the divorce papers immediately,” he ordered with smug satisfaction.Within minutes, Ashford returned with the papers. The sound of the pen scratching against the document as Tessa signed felt like nails on a chalkboard to Adam. He watched her hands move gracefully, signing her name with an unsettling decisiveness. She didn’t hesitate. She didn’t falter. And when she passed the papers to him, her face betrayed nothing of the storm raging inside her.“I’ll ask you one last time,” Adam said, his voice thick with emotion. “Are you sure you won’t regret this?” His eyes searched hers desperately, hoping fo

"Even if you refuse, I have a hundred ways to deal with you," Gerald retorted, his voice dripping with venom. His face was flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead as he glared at Adam, who stood unperturbed before him.Adam’s lips curved into a slight smirk. “Doesn’t matter. You still have to do it.”“In that case,” Gerald sneered, his tone turning more menacing, “you can try me.”Adam met his glare with disdainful calmness, his tone cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife. “Go ahead. I’d like to see how far you can go.”Gerald’s fury boiled over, and his fists clenched tightly. Just as he was about to lash out, Samuel stepped in, placing a firm hand on Gerald’s shoulder. “Let me handle this,” Samuel said, his tone measured but authoritative. He turned to Adam, his expression a mix of pity and condescension. “Adam, listen. If you agree to the divorce, I’ll personally put in some good words for you in front of Mr. Tristan. Maybe, just maybe, he’ll spare you for my sake.”A

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.” Instead of l

Samuel seized the opportunity and approached Tessa, placing his hands on her shoulders. “I’m sorry, Tess…” “Get your hands off me!” She shoved him away. “Tessa, what’s wrong with you? I’m not your enemy. I’m only trying to help you and your family.” “Well, we don’t need your help! And I’m never going to marry you!” She snatched her phone from his grasp and stormed off. Samuel stood there, humiliated. His jaw clenched as rage simmered beneath his embarrassment. “Adam, you bastard!” he bellowed, stomping his foot. He had been certain that once Adam was out of the picture, Tessa would finally come around. But instead, her hatred for him had only grown. There was only one thing left to do—eliminate Adam completely. “I’m going to kill you, Adam. I swear it,” he growled through gritted teeth. “And how exactly do you plan on doing that?” A smooth, feminine voice interrupted from behind. Samuel turned sharply. It was Wendy. “Wendy?... I…” Samuel stammered. “No need to

The next day, General Arin arranged a private jet to take Adam and Stacey to Ray City. At the airport, Stacey wheeled Adam toward the waiting jet. Several military officers stood in formation, ready to salute the Supreme General. General Arin stepped forward and bowed his head. “Welcome, Supreme General.” Adam gave a slight nod. The soldiers exchanged puzzled glances, struggling to process what they were seeing. Who would dare break the Supreme General’s legs? Clearing his throat, Arin spoke carefully. “Forgive me for asking, Lord Adam, but are you sure you’re ready to travel? Your injuries haven’t fully healed.” Adam scoffed. “These?” He gestured at his legs before standing up effortlessly. The entire group froze in shock. “Lord Adam… you could walk this whole time?” Stacey asked, wide-eyed. “Yes,” Adam said casually. “I healed days ago. I just kept up the act to make the Armands believe I was weak. Revealing my healing abilities would only attract unnecessary attentio

Adam scoffed, his expression full of disdain. "My legs might be broken, but that doesn’t mean some stray like you can push me around." Samuel’s face darkened instantly. His fists clenched, and a dangerous aura radiated from his body. His killing intent was palpable, sending a shiver down the spines of those nearby. "You’re dead!" he snarled, his eyes burning with fury. Just as Samuel was about to make his move, Tessa hurriedly stepped forward, blocking his path. Her heart pounded in fear as she pleaded, "Mr. Samuel, please let him go… for my sake." Samuel turned his sharp gaze on her, his anger shifting toward disbelief. "You two are already divorced! Don’t tell me you still care about this piece of trash?" His voice was laced with irritation. Tessa shook her head rapidly, her expression flustered. "Of course not," she denied. However, a flicker of hesitation flashed in her eyes, betraying her emotions. "But… we were married, after all. And he once saved my life. I can’t just igno

"I endured everything you people threw my way because of Tessa," Adam said coldly. "But now that we’re divorced, I have nothing to do with the Armand family anymore. I don’t owe you anything, and I certainly don’t have to endure your abuse any longer." His sharp gaze swept over the room, silencing anyone who dared to speak. "What happened to Wendy and her mother is just a warning," Adam continued, his voice steady and threatening. "If any of you dare to mess with me again, I promise your fate will be far worse than theirs." Gerald's face turned red with fury, but beneath his rage, a flicker of fear betrayed him. He clenched his fists, his voice trembling with a mix of terror and indignation. "Adam, stop being so arrogant! You’re nothing but a cripple now. After leaving the Armand family, where else can you go? Back to the streets? At first, I considered sparing you some money, but now? Not a single dime!" Adam smirked, unimpressed. Henry, standing beside Gerald, sneered. "Adam, en
