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
Tears streamed down Doris’s face as she continued to plead. “Please, I beg you,” she sobbed. “Forgive my husband. Don’t kill him. Don’t kill us. I’ll do anything. Just let him go.” The man’s eyes flickered with interest as he took in Doris’s beauty. A slow, cruel smile spread across his face.
The moment Adrian heard Jenny say that Doris was in danger, he felt a surge of panic and disbelief. “What do you mean Doris is in danger?” he demanded, his voice a mixture of shock and fury. Jenny took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “She went to the Grill Group's hideout after she received
Joe's eyes were wild with rage and desire as he pulled off his shorts, ignoring Doris's desperate pleas and shouts. Just as he was about to violate her, a series of loud gunshots echoed through the hideout, followed by frantic shouts. The chaotic noise seemed to come from everywhere at once, sen
On Adrian's way to Oligo hospital, he felt a mixture of relief and anger; relief that Doris was now safe and anger at the dangerous lengths she had gone to rescue him! As he approached the hospital entrance, his phone buzzed. It was Jenny, her voice dripping with fury. "Adrian, I wonder what is ha
Later that day, Adrian's phone buzzed. Glancing at the screen, he saw an unfamiliar number; however, he picked up the phone and heard a female voice. It was Katie Clarendon, the daughter of the Minister of Finance whom Adrian had rescued along with Tara at the Grill Group's underground hideout.
The first gift was presented by a distinguished gentleman in a tailored suit. He handed over a sleek, velvet-covered box to Jonathan. “From Mr. and Mrs. Hargrove – a diamond bracelet worth $150,000!” The crowd erupted in applause. “Oh, how splendid!” “Such a generous gift!” The murmurs of admirat
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
