Here Comes the Lord Chapter 416 The Son Left the Nest
Mark allowed himself a faint smile, sensing that Adrian might be right. Anthony Curtis seemed exactly the type to throw his own son under the bus if it suited his purposes.Pausing for a moment, Mark mulled over their next steps. Adrian remained on the cot, his posture tense and his face clouded with frustration.“For now,” Mark said finally, “you’re going to have to play the role of the desperate son who needs Daddy to come to his rescue. Afterward, you can deal with him however you see fit.”Adrian leaned forward, his voice rising with conviction. “I’ll throw him out of the apartment, that’s for sure! I want nothing to do with someone who facilitates crimes. Why did he do it?”He shook his head as though trying to dislodge the thought. “It’s like I don’t even know who he really is.”For a fleeting moment, Mark felt a pang of genuine pity for Adrian. He recognized the anguish of a man grappling with the betrayal of someone he should have been able to trust.“Adrian,” Mark said, his t
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 1 Wedding Anniversary
"Mark, we need to talk right now." Mark Ferro, coming home from work in his janitor uniform, was surprised by his wife Celia's words. He expected to greet her lovingly and give her a gift. Tomorrow, they would celebrate their first wedding anniversary. "Yes, Celia. I'm listening," Mark closed the door, approaching her. Celia's facial expression, however, didn't invite Mark to affection and hugs. She stood with crossed arms, her face indicating anger, a desire to vent. "Mark, we need to end this deplorable situation in our lives," Celia continued, "You and I work in the lowest positions at the company, we barely have enough to eat, and you can't give me what I need, let alone what I want, for a long time." Mark swallowed hard, understanding his wife's words. "I know, dear, but—" "That's why I've already decided. I want a divorce!" Celia didn't even give Mark a chance to try to argue. Her words echoed in Mark's mind for a few seconds. He thought Celia was just going to complai
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 2 Wrong Timing to Get Divorced
The package was red and heart-shaped, very romantic to match the occasion.Mark waited for her to open it. However, Celia, in uncontrolled rage, threw the package into the kitchen trash can where they were! "Celia! What does this mean?" Mark couldn't contain himself. "What do you think? I'm getting rid of these cheap gifts bought at the stationery shop! Is this how you want to save our marriage?" Celia retorted. "You didn't even open the package! Don't you want to know what's inside?" Mark approached the trash can. "If you take the package out of the trash, keep it! I don't want anything reeking like garbage! That's the last thing I need!" Frustrated and unable to take it anymore, Celia went to her room and slammed the door shut. Mark, scared, retrieved the package from the trash bin. He hoped the contents wouldn’t be broken. Discouraged, Mark decided to go to the bathroom with the contents. Once inside, he closed the door and sat down on the latrine. The wrapping was undon
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 3 Now I Pronounce You Divorced
The next day, Mark decided to go to the Braspolis City Registry Office to carry out the desired divorce.They barely had the energy to eat breakfast. Mark even thought that, with Celia discouraged, perhaps she hadn’t been serious.So, inside the car, he turned to her. “Are you sure, honey?”“Sure about what?”“About what do you want to do? You look sadder and more depressed than you did before you came up with this ridiculous idea—”“Start the car already! The neighbors are watching.” Celia put on her seat belt.It wasn’t this time that they would go by car. The engine, as if it were on Mark’s side, didn’t work at all, spluttering and making horrendous noises.Celia got out of the car furious. “Ah, that’s just what I needed!”“I’ll call the mechanic,” Mark said calmly.“Forget it. I don’t want to be another second late for the registry office!” Celia turned on her heel and left the parking lot.Mark had no choice but to follow her. He found himself at the bus stop.The bus appeared an
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 4 After Love Is Gone
Outside the registry office, Celia seemed to want to walk aimlessly along the sidewalk.Some would say she was thinking about the next stage of her life.Mark, however, didn't want to leave things as they were. He rushed outside and caught up with her."Celia!""For the love of Christ, Mark! Leave me alone, we are no longer married!" Celia yelled furiously."I know!" Mark grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him. "But can't we even say goodbye?""Why?" Celia asked disdainfully."The judge must have thought you were escaping from a violent husband." Mark asserted, releasing her arm."I sincerely hope the judge thinks the worst of you!" Celia retorted."I didn't expect you to have such a low opinion of me." Mark lamented as he watched his now ex-wife."Mark, understand once and for all: I don't want anything to do with you anymore, I don't want to see you anymore, and I don't want to hear your voice anymore! Marrying you was the worst thing that ever happened to me!""You can't be se
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 5 Trading a Cat for a Hare
“Did you free yourself?” Adrian widened his eyes with pleasure.“Yes, now we are free.” Celia looked at Mark with contempt.“Did you hear that, Mark?” Adrian pressed the handbrake and got out of the car, “I hope you listened. We’re making everything clear before you see us at the company and make a jealous scene.”Mark noticed the ‘before you see us’ part and concluded that Celia had managed to get promoted in the company.Celia worked as the girl who delivered water and coffee to higher-ranking employees.To see the general manager's son, however, she’d have to be at least a secretary!Seeing how Celia behaved with Adrian, Mark concluded that Celia had chosen Adrian to be his new companion!But how could it be?Mark was tall and had a fit body, not too muscular, but to the extent that pleases the female sex.If he wore more trendy clothes and hairstyles, he could pass as a celebrity.Meanwhile, Adrian, in addition to being devoid of beauty, had a beer belly and crooked teeth even tho
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 6 I Came to Get You
Mark’s concern about the accident only lasted a few seconds after seeing that it had not caused any major consequences.Still, it was very embarrassing for Adrian to crash his car into a RAM truck that was traveling smoothly, without dreaming that he would be hit by a careless driver.Adrian got out of the car and immediately went to the owner of the other car, “Did you buy your driver’s license and it came in the mail?”The driver of the other car squinted. “What are you talking about, man? You were the one who strayed from your lane! You weren’t looking ahead!”Mark smiled slightly. Indeed, Adrian had parked on the wrong side (the driver’s seat would never be parallel to the sidewalk but in the middle of the street) and when he was supposed to get out, he got distracted because he wanted to provoke Mark.The driver of the other car got out and started arguing with Adrian. Celia noticed that the driver was wearing light clothes, probably returning from a camping trip with friends due
Here Comes the Lord Chapter 7 Mess in the Hallway
Mark asked Linda to take him to the company where he and Celia worked. Upon arriving at the imposing building with a dark blue glass facade, Mark was going to ask for a favor... But Linda was an efficient secretary and promptly parked in the back of the company instead of going to the building's parking lot. "Lord Ferro, I know you don't want to be recognized." Linda turned off the engine. "Thank you for your discretion, Miss Mattes. But none of this will be necessary anymore." "Why?" Linda asked as she got out of the car. She walked around and opened the door for Mark to get out. He answered as he got out, "The people in this company don't know, but I am the true owner of it. I bought it to give to Celia after we celebrated our first wedding anniversary." Linda was shocked. "She was going to receive this company on a silver platter?" The company they were talking about is a famous fashion world publisher. The company, called 'Glamour,' started with a weekly magazine, but then

Chapter 415 A.C.
Briana narrowed her eyes, her mind racing to decipher those initials A.C.“It’s simple,” Lawrence said. “I heard about your kidnapping. The internet exploded. Even your grandmother gave a heartfelt interview on TV.”Briana smirked at the thought of Katrina tearing her hair out in fury over Althea’s public sympathy.“When I got this anonymous message,” Lawrence continued, “I had to check it out.”“You didn’t have to,” Briana replied sharply. “Why did this person send the message to you and not my husband?”Lawrence’s smile turned sly. “What do you think, Brie? You and I were always better suited for each other than you and Mark. Besides, who is he? What could he possibly do? What resources does he have to save you? He hasn’t done anything.”Briana’s smile faded, her expression hardening. Though Mark didn’t have Lawrence’s wealth or connections, she refused to believe he hadn’t tried everything within his power.Her voice trembled slightly as she said, “It’s not an anonymous message. A.
Chapter 414 Hero of the Day
The dim, eerie warehouse was filled with the oppressive silence of emptiness. Briana sat alone, her eyes swollen and burning from hours of crying.Freed from her gag, she had tried screaming, but as the hooded man had warned her, it was useless.“HELP! For Christ’s sake, you can’t leave me here alone!” Briana’s voice echoed hauntingly through the cavernous space, amplifying the void around her.She panted, scanning the shadows for any sign of life.“What happened... where is everyone... Mark, where are you?”Suddenly, the faint sound of elegant footsteps broke the silence.Briana froze, holding her breath as she tried to locate the source.Something about the measured rhythm of the steps sent a shiver through her.“Such refined steps,” she thought. “Those shoes must cost a fortune... maybe the ‘boss’ of these kidnappers is finally showing up. I’ll finally know who hired that snake, Viviana...”Drawing a deep breath, Briana mustered a scornful smile. As Mark Ferro’s wife, she refused t
Chapter 413 He Really Doesn’t Know the Truth
Mark paced the confines of his office at Ferro House, his usually composed demeanor unraveling under the weight of uncertainty. Waiting for news was a rare torment for him, but when it came to Briana, his control wavered.The sharp tone of his cellphone broke the silence, and he answered immediately after checking the caller ID.“Yes,” he said curtly.“We’ve found her, Lord Ferro,” Vargas’s voice came through clearly.“Where is she?” Mark demanded.“At the airport, buying tickets under a false identity.”Mark smirked. “Typical. You know what to do.”“Understood, Lord Ferro.”Mark ended the call just as Regis entered the room.“Well, Lord Ferro?” Regis asked with curiosity.Mark shot him a sharp look. “When my dear wife returns, you’ll have to call me Mr. Ferro.”Regis grimaced, realizing his slip. He swallowed the urge to retort, already kicking himself mentally. Damn!“What are your orders now? Have Vargas and the men in gray...”“They succeeded,” Mark interrupted. “Viviana will be d
Chapter 412 She Left with the Money
Viviana entered the Red Light nightclub as dusk settled, her demeanor a mix of anxiety and wariness.After everything that had transpired, the last thing she wanted was to be recognized.The pulse of electronic music reverberated through the room as the current dancers rehearsed their routines half-heartedly, aware that their audience wouldn’t be focused on their choreography.The retro Eurodance beat betrayed Anthony’s age as he inspected glasses and bottles, swaying subtly to the rhythm emanating from the speakers.Sliding onto a barstool, Viviana scanned her surroundings, her gaze darting left and right.Anthony turned to her with a broad grin, a man satisfied with her work.“You’re almost dancing,” Viviana remarked.“Men don’t dance,” Anthony replied, brushing it off. “But this music was a hit back in the day.”“Before I was born, I guess... Anyway, it’s time for me to disappear.”Anthony mirrored her cautious glances around the room.The waitresses were preoccupied setting up tab
Chapter 411 I’ll Get This Divorce
Gilson returned to his office after lunch, a wave of discomfort settling over him from walking rather than resting to let his food digest. Claudia and Katrina trailed behind him, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration.“You need to rest, dear,” Claudia urged. “I don’t want you having a stroke from indigestion.”Gilson waved her off, his irritation clear. “How can I rest while OUR DAUGHTER keeps bringing us grief?”Katrina crossed her arms, defensive and unapologetic. “I simply refuse not to celebrate the best thing that’s happened to our lives!”“Briana being kidnapped,” Claudia muttered, her voice thick with disapproval.Gilson collapsed into his chair, pulling out his phone despite knowing the risks of reading while full.“I’m also pleased about a negative turn in my brother’s life,” he admitted, “but you should keep up appearances, daughter.”Katrina snatched the phone from his hand, her face twisted in fury. “Is that why you didn’t support me? Appearances?”“People don
Chapter 410 Where Briana Is
Mark and Eugene locked eyes, a shared understanding passing between them. The time to act had finally come.“They’ve already captured that idiot Adrian Curtis,” Mark said, his voice carrying the commanding tone of Lord Ferro.“Good,” Eugene replied. “How do we proceed?”Mark’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Simple. We’ll extract everything we can from him. Then, we’ll inform his perverted father that his precious son is in our possession.”Eugene hesitated. “I fear that might expose your identity, Lord Ferro.”Mark’s gaze turned icy, his voice chilling. “If Anthony puts two and two together, it will be the last calculation he ever makes.”Eugene shivered involuntarily. He should have been accustomed to Mark’s sovereign demeanor, but it never failed to send a chill down his spine.******The decrepit warehouse loomed in silence, broken only by the steady drip of water from its leaky ceiling. Sunlight filtered weakly through broken windows, casting eerie, shifting shadows on walls stai
Chapter 409 Used, Again!
Mary Ellen used her lunch break to check on Celia once more. She carefully opened the door to Celia’s room, stepping inside with quiet movements.Celia lay sprawled on the bed, her clothes wrinkled and her exhaustion displayed. Unlike her dramatic outburst with Karl, no knives or torn garments were involved this time.Her shoes were discarded in a corner, and the room was dim, the curtains drawn shut. She appeared to be sleeping deeply, the effects of the drug mercifully worn off.Relieved, Mary Ellen allowed herself a small smile and risked turning on the light.The sudden brightness made Celia stir, her body shifting restlessly as she blinked awake. Her movements were sluggish, like someone recovering from a long night out.“Celia,” Mary Ellen called softly, stepping closer. “Wake up. We need to talk.”“Urgh...” Celia groaned, rubbing her eyes and squinting against the light.Mary Ellen’s tone turned serious. “Celia, people are saying you were drugged and attacked Karl Carvalho. Is
Chapter 408 Come Pick Up the Package
A practiced smile spread across Ray’s lips, his phone still to his ear.“Come pick up the package from my dressing room,” Ray said smoothly into the phone. “It’ll be easier this way.”He ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket, his smile growing wider.“What’s going on?” Adrian demanded. “For days now, you’ve been acting more like a spy than an actor.”Ray chuckled. “Seems like you’re the one spying here, Adrian.”“I just want to know what’s happening,” Adrian said firmly. “Now they’re saying Briana has been kidnapped. Everything is going wrong all at once. I can barely keep up!”Ray’s smile twisted into something darker. “Funny you should say that.”“Why?” Adrian asked, his voice sharp with suspicion.Before Ray could answer, the door swung open.Two men in gray suits — from Vargas’ team — entered the room, their movements efficient and purposeful.Without a word, one of them locked Adrian in a chokehold, his arm tightening around Adrian’s neck.“Hey, what’s— argh!” Adri
