In fact, he was the almighty chairman of A and U group she was gushing about.

7 years ago,at the brink of death, a young girl saved him from the same accident that took his parents. Andrew gave the girl his family's bracelet that had a special mark on it, as a way to show appreciation.

Not long after the girl saved him, he was taken away by a mysterious old man. Not only had the old man cured him, but he'd also taught Andrew everything he knew when he found his great talent.

With all the top-notch skills he learned, he had secretly won a lot battles for the country and gained great respect even from the president. He also established many groups and companies. The fortune under his name was countless.

Despite gaining such wealth and power, there was one thing he could never let go of in his heart: the death of his parents. He believed it was definitely not an accident. Over the years, he had rarely appeared in public, and few people knew what he really looked like. He wanted the person schemed that "accident" to believe he was dead, and he had been secretly having his subordinates investigate the matter.

On the day he uncovered the truth, he would make them pay a bloody price! And in addition to that, over these years,the little girl that saved him from that fire still held his heart. He had been in search of her for a long time until three years ago, Andrew had managed to track down the little girl in his memories through the bracelet. That little girl was Lily.

Back then, Lily had nothing to her name. She was only a normal employee. Andrew had dropped everything to stay by her side.

He used his connections to help her establish the company and secretly paved ways for her company's growth.

All he wanted to do was to silently protect her. 

After three years of marriage, he felt it was time to reveal his true identity to her. He had made many preparations for that day. 

A and U was one of the companies under his name and also the largest in this city. He arranged for the CEO to collaborate with Lily's company and announced a banquet in her honor to celebrate this. After the banquet, he planned to tell her his identity personally, to give her a surprise.

So how was it Mike's doing?

“So you believe he helped you secure the project” Andrew asked without failing to notice the fear that engulfed Mike's face the moment he asked that question.

“ Shut the fuck up Andrew! Mike is more of a man than you could ever be!”

“He has decided to give you $5k dollars to get your stinking self out of our lives and start your miserable life afresh”

“Sign those papers. Before we change our mind.”Lily ordered, pointing at the papers.

“ Lilly, I don't need your money” Andrew said calmly, an aura of power emitting from him.

And for a minute, the room went silent, but just soon enough, Lily and Mike burst into a humiliating laughter.

“Do you even have up to $50 dollars to your name? And you are rejecting an offer that could better your life?”

Andrew ignored their ignorance and continued “I don't go back on my word. Once we divorce it's final, don't end up regretting it” Andrew stated firmly.

“ Over my dead body! You have nothing to offer”

Andrew never expected that Lily would turn out like this, he had vowed to appreciate her till his dying breath because of what she did for him.

But he was deeply hurt and shocked at the extent Lily had gone to.

If this is what she wants, then he is ready to give it to her.

“It's so sad that the woman who saved me years ago has disappeared, but…

“Enough with the saving bullshit!”

“ I wasn't the one who saved you”

“ I lied!, I fucking lied!”

“And, I regret going to that length for a thing like you” Lily yelled, knocking waves of shock into Andrew.

    Andrew froze, Lily's words sinking into his head. “ You were in possession of that bracelet” “How come you were not the girl who saved me!? “Answer me this minute !” Andrew yelled, his eyes flashing with rage, his deathly glare pinned on Lily. “Bracelet? Oh that?” Lily snorted disdainfully. She got up from the bed, and stood in front of the white vanity, tying her hair into a bun, she turned to face Andrew. "You know, when I first saw the mark on that bracelet, I thought it was a sign. A sign that you were special, that you were worth something. But I was wrong. So very wrong.” “ You are utter trash!” she yelled, glaring down at Andrew in disgust. Andrew clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with fury “I won't ask again, how did you get that bracelet! ” he asked, his tone cold and deadly. Lily let out a chuckle “Why don't you go ask that naive broke ass friend of mine, she will explain better to you” “ Friend?” Andrew thought, his mind swirling with confusion “ Oh,but I

    Chapter 4: Game on “That bastard is a cheater, because why would he agree to the divorce easily?”Lily complained, and for some reason, was disappointed and angry that Andrew didn't think twice before accepting the divorce. She had expected him to beg, and bawl his eyes out asking for a second chance, but he didn't, and that surprised the hell out of her. There was no other reasonable explanation she could think of, that made him agree to the divorce like that —if not, that he had been cheating on her. “I hope I don't see that hoe of his, because I'm going to teach them both a lesson” She threatened, picking up her phone from the bed. “Babe, come and see, your ex is getting into the latest range rover Prado ?” Mike called out , still peeping from the window, his gaze fixed on the car, till it went out of sight. “ Don't take that puppet seriously, he's probably a driver” Lily mocked, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hands. “Oh, I never thought of that, I thought he had graduat

    1 hour later, Andrew stood inside the tiny scattered room, he was sure this was the house his investigator had told him she stayed in. But what he was seeing now was different, the room looked like it had been deserted for months. And why was it unlocked? Did she move? Andrew thought of many possible answers to the questions he had, but he found none. Concluding that this was not the house, he walked out of the battered green building and dug out his phone from his pocket, about to call his investigator and scold for giving him a wrong address. “Poor girl, I doubt she would come out of that alive” a voice flew into Andrew's ear, and he paused in his tracks. He snapped his head to the direction and saw two women seated on a bench at the corner, and they weren't there when he had passed earlier. Heaving a sigh of relief, he approached them to see if he could get answers to his questions. “She was kind, she didn't deserve such a cruel fate” the first woman said,

    “You came right into a den of lion's !” The man snarled and raised his dagger to stab Andrew. In a swift move , Andrew snatched the dagger from the man and stabbed it right into his shoulder. “Owww!” The man groaned in pain, as he flung his wrist to Andrew's face, but before it could land. Andrew effortlessly launched a powerful kick into the man's stomach and he was sent flying a few meters away, like a bag of weightless grass. Silence befell the room once more as the men gawked at Andrew, their eyes wide open in shock. “You have just dug your own grave!” A man yelled, and the rest stormed towards Andrew. One by one Andrew dodged their weapons , his legs working hard in hard with his fists as he kicked and landed blows on any part of their body he came in contact with. The men yelped and groaned in pain as they sprawled on the floor, each clutching onto a part of their body that had been badly battered. After his little marathon, Andrew dug out his handkerchief and cle

    Before Mr lethal could realize what had just happened, he was on the floor in pain, the same dagger he placed on Benita’s throat a few seconds ago, was dug deep into his spinal cord. “ You have 1 sec to stand up and fight me, or watch me leave” Andrew taunted, a smug grin spreading across his face “ You!” You will pay for this! I will make sure of that” Mr lethal, lay motionlessly on the floor, his waist downwards was paralyzed. “You dare disrupt my business and take away my trophy!” Mr Lethal groaned, his teeth gnashing in pain as he watched the back of the mysterious man who remained unharmed even after taking down dozens of his well trained soldiers disappear out of sight. “ You will regret this! I will hunt you down until the last drop of my blood!” He yelled, before succumbing into darkness. Benita looked at this scene in horror and fainted with a pale face. Andrew held her and regretted letting her see such a bloody scene. It was already late, so he took

    Those were the only reasonable reasons she could think of, as to why the mysterious man would be attending a ball being hosted by the biggest company in the whole of Pinnock country. “Do you really want to know?”Andrew asked, contemplating on whether he should tell her the truth straight up. “Yes I want to know” Benita answered, seeing this as an opportunity to soothe her curiosity about the mysterious man's identity. Andrew decided there was no harm in telling her who he really was. “Actually I am going there as the chairman of A and U”“Wait, hold on” Benita said, bursting into a loud laughter after her futile efforts at trying to hold it back. After she had had her fill of laughter , she paused, feeling bad at how she had interrupted the man like that, but that didn't make what the man had just blurted out, less ridiculous, at least to her. “ Please I'm sorry about that, I couldn't hold it back” Benita said, still finding what the mysterious man had just said funny.

The guards at the front simply nodded and stepped aside, like he had always belonged.The hallway leading to the vault was quiet. Cold. He could hear his own footsteps echo off the marble floors.He glanced up at the tall portraits lining the walls. Proud men. Blank-eyed. All with the same jawline.

    Andrew’s gaze settled on Morin, flat and emotionless, as though he were already tired of the conversation, as though he hadn't just been threatened.“I don’t have any business with you, Morin. If you don’t tell me where Anastacia is, you’ll be the one choosing which limb to lose.” His voice was quiet. Cold and detached.Morin tilted his head and smiled as if Andrew had just told a joke. “You sure do have lots of guts. But I don’t know of what help that would be to you today.” He pulled a folded sheet of paper from the inner pocket of his jacket, flattened it on the glass table between them, and slid it forward. “Here. This is an undertaking.”Andrew didn’t look down. His eyes stayed on Morin’s face, his expression unreadable.“I’m going to propose this to you as a gentleman,” Morin continued, his voice dripping with mockery . “Sign this and walk away with the five million dollar check. Or…”“Or what?” Andrew snapped, his tone sharp and full of disdain. “I thought I made it clear I’m n

    Morin looked away, then back at Anastacia , calm as ever. “I invited some friends to take care of him.” Anastacia’s stomach dropped. “Friends?” “Can you go straight to the point?” She snapped, her voice rising in frustration. Morin's confidence oozed from every fiber of his being as he leaned in close, his voice smooth and laced with a touch of amusement. "Don't worry about that, babe. After I'm done with him, I’ll make sure he signs an agreement to cancel the wedding and leave Jashem City. That way, he won’t be an obstruction to our wedding again." His eyes gleamed with a mischief , his mind already plotting the next steps. Anastasia’s brows creased as she tilted her head slightly. There was something off about the way Morin spoke—too certain, too smooth. “How do you plan on doing that? You were the one who just said how stubborn he is.” Morin exhaled, a heavy sigh escaping his lips, as if she were asking the simplest question in the world. He wrapped his arms around her waist, p

    The next day came too quickly. It was supposed to be the day of Anastacia and Andrew’s court wedding. After what happened yesterday, the Ashton family had no more excuses. Andrew had done everything they asked . Now it was their turn to keep their word. But Anastacia still hadn’t changed her mind. She didn’t want the wedding. Not to Andrew. Not under these terms. Yet everyone was moving ahead as if her feelings didn’t matter. Andrew stood outside the courthouse, glancing around with restless eyes. His heart beat a little faster each time someone entered the building, but it was never her. He checked the time again. Still nothing. He called her. Straight to voicemail. Again. His jaw clenched. Something was off. She wouldn’t just vanish. Not on today of all days. He dialed again, pacing. "Pick up. Come on, just pick up." Then his phone rang. It was an Unknown number. He answered quickly. “Hello?” “If you want to see Anastacia alive,” a voice said, cold and unfamilia

And in the middle of it all, Dr. Cross stared at the floor, heat crawling up his neck.He had failed.Not just in front of strangers—but in front of Mr. Roman. In front of distinguished people The salt and water still shimmered faintly on Mr. Roman’s lips, like some kind of joke. And Andrew—an outsider, a nobody—stood with the quiet of someone who had nothing to prove and everything to win.Dr. Cross swallowed hard.This was supposed to be his moment. The one that would make headlines. Dr. Cross, the man who saved Roman Ashton. Instead, he had spent thirty minutes fumbling with wires, shouting instructions, performing tests—and nothing. No result. No sign of progress. Just sweat and rising panic. And now, people would say he did nothing.

Maybe they were tired. Maybe they had already given up hope.Dr. Cross stood off to the side, hands folded, jaw tight. Even he had stepped back after failing ."I need a glass of water and salt ," Andrew said.The room fell into a deep silence as everyone glanced at one another with confusion laced in their gazes.Then a loud scoff from one of the guests, broke the deafening silence ."You again?" someone muttered, loud enough to be heard."You'll kill him before the disease does," said another."He’s not a miracle worker, he’s just desperate."A young boy, trembling slightly, handed him a glass of water.

He clutched at the bedsheet, lips parting in desperate gasps. Then, all of a sudden , a thick, dark clot of blood burst from his lips as his eyes snapped shut again.“Doctor! What’s happening? Do something!” Anastacia’s scream filled the room.“Dad… please stay with me—Dad, please…” Her voice cracked, full of fear. She grabbed her father's shoulders, shook him desperately, but he didn’t respond. She dropped beside him, both hands pressing against his chest, as if her touch could bring him back.“ Dad, please wake up .… don’t do this… not now…”The hall went pin-drop silent .Then all of a sudden an uproar of murmur erupted in the hall with each and everyone of the guests faces etched with shock.“What the hell just happened?”“Wasn’t he just fine?”“Didn’t the doctor just treat him?”“He looks worse

His assistant trailed behind, younger, quieter, clutching a sleek black briefcase.Morin stepped forward, straightening his collar and clearing his throat. “This,” he announced with pride swelling in his voice, “is Dr. Cross.”Gasps followed. The Ashton family stared as if royalty had entered their home. Eyes widened. Jaws slackened. It was as though he had summoned a god, not a doctor.“You actually brought him?” Aunt Monica blinked hard, like she didn’t trust her own vision.“You must be joking,” someone muttered from the back. “Dr. Cross? Here?”“Oh my God,” Someone said under their breath. “This is serious.”Dr. Cross gave a slight nod, scanning the room with mild detachment.

There’s no illness Dr. Cross can’t cure.”Anastasia blinked. “Dr. Vanton Cross?”“Wait—Dr. Vanton Cross?” Aunt Monica cut in, her voice rising with sudden excitement. “I know him!” she nearly shouted, turning sharply toward the others. “He was trained by Doctor Ambrose.”A murmur rippled through the room.“Doctor Ambrose’s apprentice?” someone asked, skeptical, as though the name alone needed confirmation.“You mean the Dr. Cross?
