Adam. Deeper, fuck me... oh yes...”“Please... please... Fuck me harder!”He froze. It’s his wife’s voice.“Yes, moan

Aadam’s jaw tightened as Cora continued her tirade. Her voice grated on him, and he couldn’t help but wonder, for the hundredth time, how he’d ever been involved with her. He glared at her, his eyes sharp with warning, but she ignored him, her lips curling into a smug smile.Rita’s gaze flicked to Cora, her expression calm but her eyes cold. “Is that so?” she said evenly, stepping down from the stage.The room went silent. All eyes were on Rita as she crossed the floor.She stopped in front of Cora, her presence commanding.“What did you just say?” Rita asked quietly.Cora smirked, tilting her chin defiantly. “I said—”Before she could finish, Rita’s hand connected with her cheek in a sharp slap. The sound echoed across the room. Gasps rippled through the crowd as Cora’s head snapped to the side, her hand flying to her stinging cheek.The room remained heavy with silence, the sharp sound of the slap still ringing in the air. Rita’s gaze didn’t waver as she stared down at Cora.“

Jeffery’s gaze settled on the man, calm and unshaken by the pressure in the room. He studied him for a moment, his sharp eyes taking in subtle details.“Have you been feeling unwell lately?” Jeffery asked, his tone even. “Maybe a cough? Or some chest pain?”The older man frowned, his expression hardening. “What are you implying? Are you a doctor?”Jeffery gave a small shrug. “No, not exactly. I used to be a vet.”A murmur of disbelief rippled through the crowd. The man’s face twisted with outrage, but he held his composure, likely out of respect for Rita.“A vet?” he said, his voice dripping with disdain. “You expect me to take medical advice from someone who treats animals?”Jeffery met his scornful gaze without flinching. “I understand your hesitation,” he said calmly. “But I’d still suggest getting your lungs checked. Delaying could lead to something serious.”The man scoffed, his irritation barely concealed. “For your information, I had a full-body checkup just last week. Every

All eyes turned to Cora. Her face turned bright red, her expression frozen.She hadn’t meant to say that out loud.Whispers spread quickly through the crowd. Some people muttered that she must be crazy. Others whispered about how embarrassing it was.Rita didn’t wait for the room to settle. She walked to the microphone, her eyes locked on Cora.“Miss Cora,” she said sharply. “If you’re going to insult someone, at least stand by your words. Go on. Say it again—if you’re brave enough.”Her words hit hard, and the crowd grew silent. Rita’s glare was cold and fierce, daring Cora to respond.Cora’s mouth opened as if she wanted to argue back. Anger flashed in her eyes, but before she could say anything, Aadam grabbed her arm and covered her mouth.His face was pale, and he was clearly panicking. “She didn’t mean it,” he said quickly. “You know how she gets sometimes. Please, Miss Stirling, forgive her.”Rita raised an eyebrow and gave a cold laugh.“Control your dog, Aadam,” she said, he

Cora shook her head, forcing herself to believe she hadn’t made a mistake. I didn’t choose wrong, she thought. Jeffery was just a pretty face with no real worth. She glanced at Aadam, her confidence wavering but clinging to the choice she had made.Jeffery would never amount to anything.The room buzzed with whispers, everyone focused on Jeffery and Rita. Then, Rita did something unexpected.She turned to face Jeffery and reached out, adjusting his crooked bowtie.The crowd froze. Gasps and murmurs spread like wildfire. The young men in the room stiffened, their faces showing shock and disbelief.Questions rippled through the crowd, hushed murmurs and surprised glances exchanged. Who was this man? The idea of Rita Stirling, always so poised and untouchable, being so gentle and intimate with someone like Jeffery was unthinkable.As the attention shifted to him, Jeffery’s cheeks flushed. He shifted uncomfortably under the weight of the gaze but quickly masked his uncertainty.Rita n

Rita’s gaze swept across the room, her smile calm, every movement intentional. Aadam sat up straighter, his chest tightening with excitement. When her eyes lingered on him, he felt sure—he was the one.The room fell silent, everyone waiting. Aadam’s mind raced. This was it. All his planning, charm, and effort were about to pay off.Rita’s voice was steady, her words clear. “The young man I am referring to is…”She paused, her tone filled with purpose. “He is both innovative and talented. He represents the future of leadership.”Aadam’s confidence grew. Her gaze hadn’t left him, and he relaxed slightly in his seat."It’s me," he thought. "It has to be."The idea of someone else, especially Jeffery, being chosen was ridiculous. Aadam glanced at him—standing stiffly near the back with a drink in his hand. Jeffery Flamel? A nobody. He had no backbone and let women walk all over him. Aadam smirked. There was no competition.Even if, somehow, it wasn’t him, Aadam told himself he’d adapt. He

The microphone crackled, and the room fell silent. Cora turned toward the stage, her eyes narrowing as Rita Stirling stepped into the spotlight.Rita stood tall and confident, her shimmering dress catching the light. She looked flawless, drawing everyone’s attention with ease.“She’s beautiful,” someone whispered nearby.“A true goddess,” another added.Cora’s fists clenched as she listened. She hated how effortlessly Rita commanded the room, how everyone seemed to adore her.Rita raised a hand, silencing the murmurs. “Thank you all for being here tonight. It’s an honor to welcome you.” Her voice was clear and graceful.The crowd watched her, captivated. But Cora’s focus shifted to Jeffery, standing near the stage. He smiled at Rita, the kind of smile Cora hadn’t seen in years.Her stomach churned with jealousy. “Bitch,” she muttered under her breathThe word was quiet, but the room was so still that a few people nearby heard it. Gasps followed, and heads turned to look at her.The a

Luca shoved Aadam back, his hand darting up in a middle finger. “Fuck you, Aadam. Are you wishing for a death sentence?” he growled in fury.Aadam blinked, bewildered by the sudden shift. “What? What’s your problem?”Luca stepped closer, his voice dropping to a venomous whisper. “The Rita you’re talking about—the one you want to ‘deal with’—she’s the princess of the Stirling family. One of their heirs. Are you out of your mind?”Aadam’s smirk faltered, his confidence cracking under Luca’s glare. “That’s not possible,” he stammered, trying to laugh it off. “You’re pulling my leg, aren’t you? Come on, Luca. Don’t joke about something like this.”Cora gasped audibly, clutching Aadam’s arm."No, it can’t be true,” she said in disbelief. Her eyes darted between Luca and Rita, desperation creeping into her voice. “Jeffery wouldn’t be acquainted with someone like her. There’s no way. Perhaps you’re mistaken, Luca.”Luca turned his gaze to her, his expression darkening with pure disgust. “Mi

Aadam called out. “Luca, wait!”Luca stopped, turning with a raised brow, his expression curious.Aadam jogged to him, his tone shifting to one of deference. “I apologize for what happened back there. It was... unnecessary. I hope it didn’t bother you.”Luca shrugged, the faintest trace of amusement in his eyes. “Not at all. What do you want, Aadam?”Aadam hesitated, his words measured “I heard a rumor... that you and your father have already reached a cooperation with the Stirling family. Is it true?”Luca’s smirk deepened. “Yes, it’s true.”Aadam’s face lit up with exaggerated admiration."That’s incredible. Your family has always been remarkable—far superior to the Stirlings, in my opinion. Your achievements in Oakland City are unmatched, your influence unparalleled.”Luca’s expression cooled, and he raised a hand, stopping Aadam mid-sentence. “Don’t say that,”he said flatly. “My family is nothing compared to the Stirlings. The only reason we secured this cooperation is our status

Cora and Aadam erupted into mocking laughter.“You’re delusional,” Aadam sneered. “Me? The heir to Whitmore Industries, beg her? Stop being delusional. I’m surprised she’s even putting up with you. Sooner or later, she’ll come to her senses and leave you in the dirt where you belong.”He stepped closer, his voice dripping with arrogance. “And just so you know, you’re standing in the Stirling family’s manor. If I feel like it, I can speak to the head of the family and have you thrown out—or better yet, jailed for trespassing.”Jeffery stared at him, momentarily stunned by the sheer stupidity of his statement. Did he not realize what he’d just done? The audacity to insult Rita—Rita Stirling—in her own home was almost impressive in its ignorance.Jeffery’s lips twitched, threatening a smile. “Your brain,” he muttered under his breath, “must have stopped developing somewhere in the womb.”Aadam’s laughter faltered. “What did you just say?”Jeffery ignored him, shaking his head slowly. He
