Amanda scoffed in disbelief while the pieces danced in the air.

“How dare you!” Luther yelled at Devin and approached him to throw a punch in his face.

Devin staggered back as pain shot through his body, and he spit out the blood that had seeped into his mouth.

“NO way, are you a limp-dick or what? Can’t you try harder, sugar baby...” Devin mocked.

“... Or did sleeping with that slut turn you into a slut too,” Devin said with provocation.

But the next second, he was kicked to the ground by Luther.

“You are done! Mr.Luther will make you regret being born into this world!” Amanda glared at him fiercely.

“Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?” Luther stepped on Devin's face, and the immense pain made Devin roar in anger.

"You son of a bitch! Get the fuck off!".

But Luther pressed him even harder, he could even hear the sound of his own bones breaking.

“What a ridiculous joke! Look at you, broke, beaten up, and in the end, you'll become a homeless stray dog.” Amanda laughed as Luther's cruelty persisted.

“That's the consequence of your bravado! Your life is over!”

Luther said to Devin, but soon he furrowed his brows, cause this motherfucker was actually laughing.

“Anything funny?” He snapped.

“You know what? You just pulled that 'your life's over' shit like a fucking Boy Scout at a talent show. Oh no, I'm so scared!” Devin stated, but the next second he got punched in his face, he could feel his teeth loosening.

“Clueless bastard! You’ll pay today!” Luther snapped and hurled at Devin.

Luther placed his massive weight on Devin and pinned him down, punching him repeatedly and furiously in the face.

“You're begging for death, aren't you?” Luther kissed his teeth as he resumed his punching. Soon, Devin's eyes were swollen, and Amanda watched with intrigue as Luther beat Devin up.

“That'll teach you a lesson!” She yelled at Devin.

Devin's vision was getting blurrier and blurrier.

He didn't want to die like this.

He couldn't die like this!

Driven by a strong will to survive, he fought back desperately.

"Bang!" With a powerful blow he'd been building up, he knocked Luther to the ground.

He pressed on with the advantage and firmly choked Luther's neck with his hands.

The greasy feeling made him sick, but the sense of controlling a life made him feel elated.

He was alive again!

But Luther was on the verge of suffocating and kept slapping Devin's arms, but the other guy didn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip even more.

“Let him go!” Amanda cried out and screamed as Devin tightened his grip around Luther's neck. Amanda sneaked up on him and hit him with a brick. He let out a muffled groan, lost his strength, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Gasping for breath, Luther struggled to his feet and took the opportunity to kick him.

“You dare to touch me with those dirty hands of yours? I'll end your fucking life!” Luther managed to croak while waving his hands in a frenzy.

“Fucking kill him! Or none of you motherfuckers will get out of here alive!” Luther commanded his bodyguards.

The bodyguards swung into action. They kicked Devin to the ground and didn't stop beating him even when he bled profusely.

Amanda supported Luther and tried to leave the place. However, with her sharp eyes, she caught sight of a magnificent box.

“Stop…”Amanda commanded and walked towards him. She stepped hard on Devin’s hand with her high-heeled shoes and took it.

“What do we have here?” She mocked him while she opened the box, and found a magnificent Ruby necklace.

“Come on! Who the hell do you think you're fooling? This kind of fake is only fit to stay in the trash can with your crappy ring.”

Amanda chuckled and threw the necklace into the trash bag

“No!” Devin groaned but Amanda laughed. She helped Luther away while the bodyguards still pinned him down.

At this very moment, Devin plunged into utter despair.

That was his mother's precious relic, the wedding gift he had painstakingly prepared to present to Amanda.

But she nonchalantly, even disdainfully, tossed it aside as if it were trash.

How goddamn ironic!

His heart, as if attached to that box, was hurled away and smashed into countless fragments.

Fury filled Devin's heart while he watched them. They truly had no shame or conscience, not even a little bit. They are unworthy of being called human.

But immediately after, the pain came from all directions, and he could even clearly hear the sound of his own ribs cracking. The leading man took out a sharp dagger and stabbed it hard into Devin's lower abdomen.

Blood spurted out, startling the others. Devin felt that his intestines were being pulled by him, and then his internal organs... He was dying!

Suddenly, Devin felt an energy rise within him.

At first, it was like a little heat, but soon it rose like a flame.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but it seemed as if he had lost his sense of pain in an instant. All those intense aches vanished. He could even hear the faint sounds of his bones reconnecting and blood flowing back.

As if he were on the verge of rebirth!

    The energy spread rapidly across Devin's entire body, and with a charging cry, Devin pushed the man off him while a shockwave of blue energy exploded. The others gasped in shock when they saw that the wounds on Devin's body were healing! And the low guttural growl that escaped Devin's lips made their knees buckle.What the fucking hell! In an instant, everyone started to flee. The person left behind went weak all over, dropped to his knees with a thud, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy from Devin. But Devin just stepped past him and walked towards the door with firm steps. Before leaving, Devin looked back. He took a deep breath, there was nothing left for him there anymore.

    “It's been way too long, my dearest grandson,” the old man said to Devin and stretched forth his hand to him. Devin looked around, puzzled, and slowly approached the old man while everyone else watched. When he was close enough, his grandfather took his hand and pulled him into an embrace. “How I wish your mother was alive to see this. She fought so hard for this moment,” the older man's breath shuddered as Devin pulled away from the hug. “I don't understand, sir. My mother never mentioned anything about family. So, I'm finding it difficult to trust you,” Devin told him. His grandfather chuckled while he gazed at him from head down. “Bold and fearless. Just like your mother,” the old man stated and then turned his head to a guard standing almost inconspicuously in the background. He was bald and had a vertical scar that extended from his right brow to his right cheek. The guard nodded back at the old man and approached Devin with a DNA result. The bald guard handed the result ov

    “You fucking bastard. What the hell are you doing here?” She snapped at Devin. “Did you come here to beg after causing a scene earlier? How dare you raise your filthy hands on my daughter and her deserving man?” She yelled at Devin. “Come on, you mean those two bitches?!” Devin calmly stated but was quickly interrupted by Sera. “You fucking clingy pest! Amanda must've been out of her goddamn mind to keep your ass around for so long. You should be on your knees thanking us for not letting you croak from hunger on the street. ” She walked closer to him, her anger palpable. “What the hell makes you think you can come here and harass us?” Sera glared at Devin furiously. If he dared to take even a single step forward, she'd make sure he'd regret it big time! “Madam, watch your words! It was Amanda who cheated on me! I'm the goddamn victim here!” Devin was at a loss for words. “Bullshit! Why the fuck can't she cheat?“ “You were just a pest in her life! A stigma to this family!“

    “Holy shit! You dare raise your hands on me?” Jim gasped in shock as he staggered back from Devin's slap. His ears were still ringing from the impact. “I'll teach you a fucking lesson!” he yelled at Devin and hurled at him, but Devin picked him up and slammed him on the ground. "Get the hell away from my son!" Sera rushed forward and helped her son, who was sitting on the ground, to his feet. The heartache in her eyes condensed into a long spear, and in the next second, she was ready to impale Devin to pieces. And in fact, she did just that with words. “You're a mother-begotten, father - a forsaken piece of trash!” “Your mom should've croaked with you in her belly!” Devin gritted his teeth. “Sera. Give me that necklace!” “Or what? What will you do about it, Devin? Beat me up too? Come on! I fucking dare you!” Sera screamed at Devin and took a step closer to him. Devin was gasping for breath. He didn't want to hit a woman, but Sera, what she was doing right now was

    “No. Do not waste your time with that pitiful excuse of a man. The dog has returned to the streets. Let him stay there,” Amanda's eyes darkened as Sera held her back. “But mother… he assaulted you. I want to see him kneel before you, begging you in tears as he leaks your shoes!” Amanda shot back. She forced her hands into Luther's who just stood there, glaring at them all. "The most urgent thing right now is to finalize your marriage with Luther," Sera said, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We need to make that stupid Devin give up. If he sees you're out of reach, he'll reconsider creating such a scene next time." "Devin even even rented a car at great cost when he came today. A Porsche. The bastard is just bitter…” Jim snickered. “We can't let him succeed. He just wants to mess up your wedding!" Jim sneered and tried to laugh, but the pain made him stop. “Now that I think about it, you're right. Perhaps he just wants attention to see if I'll reconsider him. Ha! He's

    As Devin's Porsche caroused into the underground garage of the Le Grande villa, several guests trooped into the large, square-shaped auditorium mounted just beside the mansion. It was Amanda and Luther's wedding, barely three days after she broke up with Devin. “Why won't this damn car start? I have to drive out to get something for my daughter!” Devin heard Sera's voice as he stepped down from the Porsche. Her back was turned to him but he couldn't miss the croaking sound of her voice. “Are you sure you know what the fuck you're doing? Top shot mechanic my ass! If you were so good, this car would be working by now!” She snapped at the gentleman who was fixing the car for her. Devin sighed while he gazed at them. As he didn't want to interfere, he proceeded to walk to his mansion. But Sera turned around, saw him, and scoffed. “ Devin? My God! What the fuck are you doing here? You really have no shame! ” Sera snapped as she approached him, clapping her hands in exaggeration. D

    "No way, you still haven't gotten over Amanda? Are you going to go in front of her and cry and beg for forgiveness?" Luther laughed and sized up Devin with a playful look in his eyes. "Actually, it's not impossible for you to see her if you really insist." "Enough!" Devin interrupted him. "I'm not here for her. I'm going home!" Luther burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You're still being stubborn, aren't you?" "Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you meet Amanda." He ordered the bodyguards to take Devin inside. Devin sighed. "You know what? If I go in, your wedding is going to be ruined for sure." "Really? What, are you going to mooch off the food and starve everyone else to death?" "Take him in!" Luther lost all his patience and commanded the bodyguards viciously to drag Devin in. But when they were met with Devin's cold stare, they somehow didn't dare to lay a hand on him. "You asked for this," Devin sneered, and then strode in

    Amanda dragged her wedding dress along as she approached Devin, her face twisted with anger. “Have you come to ruin my big day? Why are you doing this to me?” Amanda cried out. “You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Just because I upgraded from your pathetic ass?” She screamed at him. “Seriously? Upgrade to marrying a man old enough to be your dad?” Devin said to her face, and she scoffed. “Who is this man to the bride?” “How do they know each other?” “Shut your fucking mouth! This is the last time you raise your hands on my family!” Amanda screamed at Devin who scoffed. “I never wanted to be here anyways. Have a great wedding,” Devin said with sarcasm, and turned to leave, but Amanda suddenly blocked his path. "Kneel down and apologize! Otherwise, I won't let you walk out of here alive, you son of a bitch!" Amanda yelled at Devin who laughed at her words. “You are digging your own fucking grave!” Devin shot back at her. Amanda flushed with anger. Just as she was about

    “Petra Knight. This is a pleasant surprise,” Devin said as he picked up his phone. He just stepped out of the police station to review any case files regarding the egg.“Really? Weren't you at least curious to hear my voice again?” She asked him in a flirtatious voice.“Have you forgotten that we are betrothed?” She asked again and Devin sighed.“I thought we were past that now,” he said and got into his car.“I don't think we will ever be past that, Devin. You've impressed me. And I'm not easily impressed,” she said.“Look, Petra. You are a lovely lady. Beautiful, successful, and simply amazing. But I am in love with someone else. And I don't want to break up with her,” Devin told her but Petra scoffed.“Spend a night with me first and you'll see I'm really worth the shot,” she propositioned. Devin's lips curled into a smile.“I'm not doing that. Why did you really call me, Petra?” He asked her. By that time, his car came to a stop in the traffic. His fingers tapped the steering ligh

    The prison door buzzed and Luther walked through to the phone booth. His eyes lit up with intrigue when he saw the visitor he had that afternoon, a person he never thought he'd see.“Well well, who do we have here? Did the wind blow you into this place or something?” He chuckled as he took his seat.Vera smirked, gracefully picking up the telephone. “It is good to see you, husband. They're not treating you as badly as I would have hoped. By now, I expected you to be nothing more than bones and sores,” she said with a bright smile on her face.“Yeah, bitch? Well, lucky for me, I did what I always do. Played my cards right. You know, when you're finally in prison, you might want to try that,” Luther replied to her with a smirk.Vera chuckled, brushing the hair off her face. “This is your space, Luther. Enjoy it. I can never be in there with you,” she told him and leaned back.Luther's smile faded slowly. “So, why the fuck have you come? I didn't see you at my trial. You refused to send

It's not what you think. The fucker started it!” The assistant accused but Vera pushed her hand off.The assistant staggered back and nearly fell. “And now you're still fucking lying to me? How daft do you think I am?” Vera yelled at her.“Apologize to him. Now!” She added.The assistant baited her eye, glancing at Devin.“But ma'am, he should be the one to apologise. He even said hurtful things to me,” the assistant argued but Vera cut her off.“Apologize or you lose your fucking job!” She yelled at the assistant. Terrified of losing her job, the assistant bowed her head before Devin.“I'm sorry for what happened, sir. It will not repeat itself,” she said but Vera frowned.“Apologize on your knees,” she said to the assistant who gasped.

    “What is it?” Luther asked her. Lila sighed while she quickly looked for a place to park her car.“Are you interested in making an investment? I promise it'll give back everything you've ever lost!” She said to him.“What sort of investment?” “An egg. Rumour has it the egg has magic. Apparently, there are people in our world called cultivators and the egg can grant them a boost in their powers,” Lila explained.On the other side of the phone, Luther's eyes opened wide while he listened to her explaining.“If it's true, and I can gift this egg to King Viper, then I'll be able to get him to do anything for me in the Future,” he thought to himself.“How much are we talking about?” He asked her.“Well, millions… but that is not even the issue right now.

It's not the first time she's humiliated herself like this.”“Isn't she the shameless bride that got kicked out of her own wedding?”More and more comments followed, and Amanda gave Lila the phone.“I should have them take this down. How dare they!” Lila pouted, and she looked at Amanda with a conceited heart. “I mean, they're saying all these nasty things about you. We have to stop this,” Lila said again. “Don't bother. It won't change anything,” Amanda replied to her and drank from the bottle of gin in her hand.

    “I didn't bring her in here. She came here by herself,” Devin stated while looking at Mr Simon.“Liar! Fucking liar! Even now that he's caught, he's still lying. Just confess your indiscipline and disrespect to Mr Simon. Fall on your knees and ask for forgiveness,” Mr Taylor yelled again.“Why should I when I'm innocent?” Devin asked Mr Taylor and crossed his arms. By that time, Miriam had covered herself with the cloak again, and she was waiting by the sofa.“Devin, did you really bring her here to sleep with her?” Mr Simon asked Devin.“No, I didn't. That's her. You can ask her,” he replied calmly.“He's not even sorry for what he did. Disrespecting a top shot like Mr Simon is an offense that deserves a beating. You should be ashamed of yourself!” Mr Taylor accused further.“How's the nose? Seems it's better now that you're running your mouth!” He said to Mr Taylor who gritted his teeth.And then, Mr Simon turned to Miriam.“I want you to tell me the truth. Did Devin call for your a

You can't come in here without an invitation. Did you fucking cheat your way into this hotel?” He yelled again.Devin didn't want to waste any words on him. He was silent while Mr Taylor kept speaking.“I should get the security men to drag your lazy ass out of here. Deceiving people and thieving is a character we do not appreciate in this place!” He added.But Devin, completely unfazed by his threats, walked closer to the receptionist in the lobby.“Hey! Get back here. I'm talking to you, fuckface!” Mr Taylor yelled again. She gave Devin a kind smile while her eyes darted from him to Mr Taylor.

He knelt beside him and stretched forth his hand.He could see the red weaves surrounding the man, the way they shone and fluttered.The man was losing the fight.“Devin, you don't have to do this. Just wait for the ambulance to get here,” Lizzy said to him.“He'll be dead by the time they get here. I have to act now,” Devin replied to her.
