All Chapters of Marked By Mr Adam : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Vivian stared at her son’s swelling cheek, her body trembling. Her chest pulled tight. She slowly walked toward him, ignoring the shards of porcelain scattered across the cold floor.Alex saw his mother's pained expression and felt his anger falter…just a little.‘“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to slap you,” Vivian said, her voice cracking.Alex avoided her gaze and hurried upstairs, leaving Vivian standing alone, staring at his retreating figure.He entered his room and studied the throbbing bruise across his cheek in the mirror. He touched it gently and winced. This was the first time his mother had ever laid a hand on him. Someone had struck him once before, years ago…only once. But he had made sure that person walked away far worse. The bruises he left behind were deep enough to scar.His jaw clenched. This is all William's fault. Everything is his fault. He had always hated William. From the very beginning, William's existence had been a constant reminder that William was the leg

William hadn't even entered the party yet but the moment he stepped out of the car with Jacob, he could feel the weight of prying eyes on him.Jacob stretched out his arm for William to take, and he awkwardly did before they entered the Devon mansion.The house was decorated with lights, it exuded elegance and power, but it was nowhere near the Adams mansion. The smell of expensive champagne, various perfumes hung in the air.His father will actually give an arm to be invited to this type of party. But a party hosted by the Devon family was well out of his reach.Jacob escorted him to the center of the hall where an elderly man was seated alongside a man exactly Jacob's age, who was glaring intensely at Jacob.“Welcome, Mr. Adams.” David Devon lowered his head slightly.Jacob did the same toward the older man. “You look well.”“If you mean doing well with one foot in the grave, then I thank you.” Mr David chuckled, his eyes sliding to William. “And you must be his husband.”William's

This was the first time William had ever used the bathtub. It wasn't that the Stones mansion didn't have one… it just hadn't been installed in the tiny attic that was his room. And after marrying Jacob, it hadn't crossed his mind. The bath would have been comfortable if it weren't for sir Jacob sitting behind him, William thought, feeling the warm water soothe his sore body. “I will drive you to the hospital on my way to work,” Jacob said. He’d been planning to go himself. But having someone else think about it was kind of nice. “You don't have to. I can get there myself.” “I wasn't asking.” Then you shouldn't have said it like a question. You should have just asked me to get ready and drop me there. William watched the ripples in the water. “Any news on my dad,” he asked quietly, his knees drawn to his chest. Jacob was quiet for a second. “He’s still gathering information on the investment. I must say, he does have a little brain. But he will make his decision soon.”

The Stones Enterprise Company Wilson sat behind his desk, his fingers tightly gripping the edge as he stared at the reports in front of him. His brows were knitted together, and the vein on his forehead throbbed. “How is the situation right now?” he demanded. The assistant standing in front of him lowered her gaze to the iPad in her hands, scrolling through the updates with a tense expression. “The stocks have dropped massively, sir. The video has been taken down, but the damage has already been done.” Wilson’s jaw clenched. The silence in the office stretched for a moment before his fist slammed against the desk, causing the items on it to shake. “Three hundred million…” he muttered, staring at the numbers on the screen. “Three hundred million lost because of that useless son.” His breathing grew heavier. He couldn’t believe he was losing this much money because of William. If that child had just kept his mouth shut, none of this would have happened. He should have left hi

The restaurant was crowded, the aroma of pork hanging heavily in the air. William's eyes darted around the place. “Will, over here.” Leo shouted. William immediately went over to where Leo was sitting and dropped down into the chair beside him. Leo pounced the moment he sat down. “Glad you made it. I was starting to think you will bail on me.” William laughed awkwardly. Leo leaned in and sniffed. “Hmm” “What” “You smell like you have been doused in alpha pheromones.” It must be from last night. Was it that bad? No one in the mansion had said anything about it. But then, why would they, it was they master's doing. Even the hospital hadn't pointed it out. Not their business. And he had gotten a bit used to Jacob's Pheromones that they didn't bother him anymore. They must be really compatible. “It's Sir Jacob.” “I thought as much,” Leo said. “I don't think anyone will be crazy enough to cover his wife in pheromones.” He slid the pot closer. “Want some pork?” William picked
