Milda stood at the top of the steps with her arms crossed and a look of disdain on her face as she watched Lucy writhe in pain on the ground. "Serves her right," Milda muttered under her breath, loud enough. She hissed in annoyance and turned on her heel, heading back into the house without a se
They bound her hands and feet and blindfolded her, but in the struggle, Tara had a closer view of the men's faces. The men were Bill Toss’s henchmen. Tara remembered seeing them during her time held captive at Bill's hideout. Their rough faces, adorned with scars and cruel eyes, were etched in h
Adrian instructed some of his most trusted subordinates to make thorough inquiries and use every resource available to find Tara, while he made his way to the hospital where Lucy was. Despite several efforts to find Tara by Adrian's men, there was no trace of her. Surveillance cameras and other a

Summoning all her courage, Doris decided she could no longer wait passively. She needed to find Adrian herself, right away! She wiped away her tears and turned to Marcus. "Tell me where The Grill Group's known hideout is in Jolley City," she demanded. Marcus looked bewildered. "Why do you want
As Doris was being dragged, three young men, who were gambling and drinking at a makeshift table, took notice of the new arrival. They exchanged glances and smirks with their eyes lighting up with interest. “Hey, who’s this?” one of them called out, standing up and swaggering over to where the gu

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

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
