After the class reunion had come to an end, Adrian and Doris offered to escort Jenny back to her hotel. The city lights of Jolley City flickered in the night, casting a warm glow on the streets as they walked. The evening air was cool, and there was a sense of calm after the tumultuous events of the
Doris turned and walked out of the room, leaving her family to their derisive laughter. As it drew closer to Doris and Adrian's wedding, the Greene household buzzed not with the excitement of an upcoming nuptial celebration but with preparations for a different event entirely. The focus was on G
In the Greene family house, Doris stood by the window, clutching the phone tightly. She had not seen Adrian for close to 24 hours or heard nothing from him. The silence weighed heavily on her heart, and worry gnawed at her from both sides. On one hand, she feared for Adrian’s safety. On the other,
Jenny and a few of Doris's friends and classmates were also present, having come to support her. They watched in dismay as Kathryn and other members of the Greene family belittled Doris at every turn. "Adrian is a coward who can't even be here for his own wedding preparations. You're throwing your
"Hey, Gary, Linda. They're here for you!" Kathryn said, grinning. Gary's face lit up with a broad smile. He assumed this prestigious visit was orchestrated by his father, who had numerous high-level connections. As whispers spread through the room, people began to offer their congratulations to G
Suddenly, one of the guests noticed the helicopters in the air, so she exclaimed and pointed to the sky with all eyes following her gaze. Sure enough, several helicopters were descending towards the mansion with their rotors creating a rhythmic whirring sound that added to the anticipation. The s

Adrian looked at him and nodded. "Yes, it is." Owen’s jaw dropped. He could hardly believe it! Adrian—the man he and the Greene family had belittled for years—owned this sprawling mansion. He felt his legs weaken, and he almost staggered back in disbelief. *Since when had Adrian become so wealth
Upon hearing Neil's words, the atmosphere thickened with shock. The Greene family members exchanged glances with their faces a mixture of disbelief and anger. They had never imagined that the lavish estate and properties they had been boasting about for years belonged to Adrian’s family! It was a r
The next day, the air was thick with shock and disbelief in Jolley City. News had erupted like a wildfire, and Frank's name was plastered all over the headlines. “Frank Greene Kills His Mother, Kathryn Greene, and Brother!” screamed the news anchor as the camera panned to footage of a chaotic scen
Adrian smiled warmly. “It means that you’re not only my wife but my partner. And if you’re ready, I’d love to have you by my side as we navigate this world together.” Doris looked at him, a renewed sense of pride and admiration filling her eyes. Just as they shared that moment, they heard a faint
Adrian took a deep breath, watching Doris’s questioning expression. She had been his wife through everything, and she deserved to know the truth. It was time. “Doris, I've waited until now to tell you who I really am because... well, I thought it wasn’t the right time. But you’ve proven, time and a
The following day marked Doris's birthday, and like previous years, she hadn’t planned any big celebration. During her mother's birthday, Adrian had taken them to a nice restaurant, and gifted Milda an expensive wristwatch, which he said a rich friend had given him. For Doris's birthday celebrat
The following day, Jolley City was hit by shocking news: A CEO had allegedly raped one of his employees in his office. And the name Adrian Moore went viral. The reports claimed that Adrian had repeatedly attempted to seduce Jenny, but after she consistently refused, he resorted to force. Jenny a
Adrian raised an eyebrow and smirked, clearly amused. "Do you actually think you can threaten me?" Jenny didn’t flinch. Her gaze was steady as she replied, “This isn’t a threat, Adrian. It’s reality.” Adrian chuckled, folding his arms as he leaned back. He wondered how far she thought she could ta
After rescuing Doris and Milda, Adrian led them to a new mansion in Jolley City. This wasn’t just any mansion—it was grander than anything they could have imagined. The Greene family's men had burned down Adrian’s previous home, but that, in fact, was the smallest mansion he owned. The loss ba
