How did twenty million dollars manage to find their way to his statement? Astonished, Adams didn't bother to think too much about it as he quickly rushed into his meals.

Within three minutes, he emptied the plates, and a minute later, he dressed up in his clothes, ready to experiment with the authenticity of the money.

He hopped through different wards until he got to the chief doctor's office; the doctor then directed him to the hospital's financial department, where he'd make the payment.

Each passing patient couldn't help but turn around and look twice at the grown man with smooth, silk-like, shining black hair.

Tall with broad shoulders and straight legs. Perfect, handsome, chiseled face with a straight nose, an average-sized mouth, and a pearl-shaped eye.

His sandy-colored skin tone matches his cool temperament, but his faded clothes and torn boots almost kill the vibes of the guy in every lady's dreams emanating from him.

Adams got to the financial department, where he was to pay the bills. He brings out his wallet; lucky for him, his bank card is in there. He pulled it out and handed it over to the middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the enormous desk in the office, alongside the bill outline.

Checking through his computer system, the middle-aged man nodded. He inserts Adams' cards into an automated machine and then turns the machine to face him.

“Type in your password,” he requested, and with shaky hands, Adams entered his PIN, and the processing completed within seconds, approving the transaction.

His joy knew no boundaries as he received a debit alert on his phone. 'Miracles sure do exist,' Adams thought as he sauntered out of the hospital. The smile plastered on his face was exceptionally bright.

Adams Smith decides he won't squander this money. He needed to create rules and wasn't even interested in knowing where and how the money got to His bank account. All he knew was that he'd meet his demise if he didn't use up the money in the next five days. Ridiculous, but he believes it.

The first item on Adams' set agenda is to return home to get his things. He wasn't going to care too much about the rent fee after all; he had enough money to buy himself an outstanding condominium, and then... the thought of his next plan brought a smirk to his handsome face.

Adams didn't bother boarding a cab or bus; he walked to the 45th-floor building and took the elevator to the thirtieth-floor. His smile never vanished as he exuded a mysterious, powerful, and imposing aura that had never existed before.

This caught a lot of attention from the people in the same living area. They were expecting to see a heartbroken guy to whom they would say words of consolation.

Adams didn't bother about his ex-fiancee and her boyfriend as he got into his home. He went straight to the shelf and took out a notebook and a pen. He plummets himself onto the only couch there and begins writing.

Rule number one: Never speak too much. Only reply with one word, such as hmmm, yes, uh, uh yeah.

Rule number two: Invest wisely. Never waste money on any luxury. Make more money before comfort.

Rule number three: Be ruthless, and cold-hearted, but kind. Never smile too much. Smile, but only wicked smiles and smirks.

Rule number four: no forgiveness, no second chance. Change your wardrobe and look sexy and charming. No flirting, just seduction. Buy a car, make them jealous, and fill them with regrets.

Rule number five: most important: No woman, no lover, only flings and baby mamas.

Rule number six: Adams paused with raised brows and decided these were okay for now.

He will add others at the right time. Adams tore out the pages on which he had written the rules and proceeded to fold the paper. He stands up from the couch and sits back again.

Adams took the pen he had dropped and skillfully began writing. Not long after, he had finished what he was writing and then tore out the pages yet again. He sauntered to the shelf and put back the items he had taken.

"Adams Smith, you look much better than I expected you to. I was waiting for you to come and beg my baby to take you back," Evans mocked.

Evans and Samantha were both cuddling on the cushion as he played with her hair. She will giggle at his playful act, all to irk Adams. But seeing that he was unaffected, Evans decided to taunt him with words.

Instead of a displeased grunt, all he received was a sneer and a chuckle from Adams.

"Hmm," Adams responded, and he wordlessly strode to the bedroom. He took out important things from his wardrobe and placed them in a small backpack.

Striding toward the flabbergasted couple, Adams threw a folder at Evans, and he said,

"In there is my resignation letter, Mr. Evans George. You are no longer my boss but the boyfriend of my ex. Pathetic!"

Instantly, both Evans and Samantha became enraged. They both rose from the cushion with ugly expressions.

"Do you think any boss in his right state of mind would want to hire a crazy person like you? How dare you disrespect Evans by throwing your resignation letter at him? I knew it. You are nothing but a crazy psycho and bad luck,"

Samantha yells at the top of her voice as she points her index finger at him.

"Forget it, baby; do not yell or stress; the fool will come begging on his knees once he realizes his mistakes. He is only being egoistic to cover his sorrow-filled heart. I'll make him lick yours and my shoe sole when he crawls back to us."

Evans consoles Samantha with his eyebrows raised cockily.

"Miss Samantha Salvador, I'd like to inform you that I won't be needing an employer. But you might want to become my employee, or won't you?" He asks, a playful smirk plastering his handsome face.

He turned to Evans and muttered. “Mr. Evans George, your newest business rival, is something you might want to watch out for.”

His loop-side smile never withers away, as Adams left the room, leaving them dumbstruck.

Her body was covered in goosebumps, and with her pale face, she could not hide her discomfort. Evans George, who had been glaring at Adams Smith and his newcomer friend, turned to look at his soon-to-be fiancee. He noticed her discomfort and reached out to hold her hand. “Do not worry; he can not do anything. I knew he would come here to cause a scene, so I planned a surprise for him ahead of time. Relax, baby Sam; he can not do anything. I will not let him ruin this beautiful moment in our lives.” Evans George reassured. Relax? How can she relax in such a situation? She did not know how to explain to him that she was afraid of Aleric, not Adams. “Alright. Thank you, Evan. I love you.

    “System Activated: Accept dance request.” As the voice echoed in his head, Adams felt a moment of confusion. He looked around, attempting to determine where the voice was coming from. Then he realized it was the voice of the internal system that he had miraculously acquired. He chuckled amusingly with a sneer before agreeing to go along with it. He turned to the lady who had just made the bold request and smiled charmingly. “Why, of course,” he replied, extending his hand towards her. “I would be delighted to have a dance with you.” The lady's eyes widened in surprise and ecstasy as she pressed her hand into his. She had come forward to make such a brazen request, but she was unsure if she would be fortunate enough to be accepted. “I will get going. See ya.” Adams Smith winked at Aleric, who grinned back.

The circles merged into rings, and the triangles positioned themselves around the circles, forming a strange symbol. Blue light emanated from the screen, the walls, and the floor.

    They were led by men holding bulletproof shields followed by the others who wielded a variety of weapons. Helicopters whirred in the air just as the entire warehouse was surrounded by cars, more armed men climbing out of it. The car headlights from outside had filtered inside the warehouse, as well as the helicopter light through the window on the roof. The sudden blast of light forced her to cover her eyes. Despite the chaotic sound of hundreds of footsteps coming from all directions, one pair of footsteps stood out in particular. This one was heavier than the others. She felt his overwhelming and authoritative presence before she saw his face. She felt her heart drum in anticipation of the familiar aura that was stalking closer and closer to her. She removed her hand and her heart skipped a beat when she saw him. Walking in his full glory, with long legs that seemed to stretch for miles, his suit jacket blowing in the wind, and hair swept to the side, was the man she had

    "Mercy? What kind?" She pretended to ponder over the idea when in reality, her eyes were scanning the men advancing towards her.Just then, she realized the weird stance they were in and the expression they were trying to hide. Although it was barely noticeable, she saw some of the men's eyes flicker between her and the boxes that surrounded her.Was that why they were so wary? In the corner of her eye, she deduced that the lids on the crates were only placed haphazardly and that from where she was standing, she could easily reach out to get the contents."I'll have less of my men share you." While he answered her, he gestured to his men to spread out and approach her from all sides. Capturing a woman was usually easy, but this woman was unpredictable and slippery."Really? That's the best you got?" She asked and suddenly placed her hand into the crate.He panicked upon seeing that and screamed, "Grab her!"He was not aware whether she knew how to use a gun, but those crates were de

    Erica concentrated on her environment.Only a handful of people knew that she had combat training and the circumstances of how she got it. None of those people would let this fact leak, and she was confident that whoever had planned on having her beaten into submission was not aware of that.Part of that training was being taught how to detect the presence around her. She counted at least 20 pairs of unique footsteps walking out of the room she was in.Their steps were generally heavier than the leader's and she knew that the burly ones were all used to straightforward beating, unlike the leader's more creative and brutal ways of torture.She faintly remembered that there were at least 30 men who had entered the warehouse which meant that around 10 people had been left behind to guard her.Peeling her eyes open by the tiniest crack, she saw there was no one within her vicinity.They had left her lying on the floor, seemingly believing that she was truly unconscious.
