Genius Face

Dr. Adrian Foster had once walked away from a life of privilege and prestige—a life filled with influence, elite circles, and constant surveillance. Tired of the suffocating weight of status, he chose a path of quiet simplicity, leaving behind the security details and luxury convoys that followed his every move. He married into the Lane family, hoping for peace. But for three long years, he endured mistreatment, scorn, and humiliation. His wife’s family saw him as nothing more than a burden—slapped, insulted, and misunderstood at every turn. Even Lyra, the woman he loved, betrayed him. Blinded by ambition, she chased after another wealthy man, convinced that Adrian had nothing to offer—that he wasn’t worthy of her or her dreams. But the Adrian they dismissed is not the man he truly is. Now, the time has come for him to reclaim everything he once left behind. No longer hiding, no longer silent—Adrian will rise. And those who mocked him, belittled him, and cast him aside… will soon understand who he really is. They will regret underestimating him. They will witness his return. And they will kneel.

In my previous life, I was eight months pregnant when my mother-in-law and husband forcibly dragged me to grab decorative gift boxes from the Christmas tree. I told them there was nothing inside, but my mother-in-law slapped me across the face while my husband pulled me into the crowd. A stampede broke out. They clutched their gift boxes and fled to save themselves, while my child and I were trampled to death. They eagerly tore open all the gift boxes with high hopes, only to find exactly nothing, just like I'd warned them. But as I lay dying, I noticed something in the final gift box. A Black Widow spider with an hourglass pattern on its belly crawled onto my mother-in-law's hand. This spider carries deadly venom. Anyone bitten either dies or suffers permanent disability. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on Christmas Day. This time, watching my mother-in-law and husband gear up to fight over those Christmas gift boxes, I won't try to stop them!

I was in the middle of hosting an important international meeting when my younger brother’s sudden call interrupted me. On the other end, his voice was low and trembling. "Matt, someone took my spot for the exchange student program." I rushed to his school right away, only to find him cornered in an office, his eyes slightly red. A cocky-looking boy was pointing at Tim’s nose, his face full of arrogance. "You want to compete with me? I’m the heir of the Smiths in Ardenford. My mom just donated an entire lab building to the school! Who do you think you are?" Even the teacher nearby spoke up in support of him. "Timothy, the Smiths are one of our school’s major benefactors. You’d better be sensible and not cause any trouble." I was about to step forward and confront them when those words—the Smiths in Ardenford—made me stop cold. The Smiths in Ardenford? Since when did my mom have a third son besides me and my brother, Timothy? I immediately dialed her number, a cold laugh slipping from my lips. "Mom, when did you have another son behind Dad’s back?"

Andai kamu tahu, aku adalah orang paling bodoh setelah bertemu dengan kamu. Entah sudah berapa ratus kali aku bertemu seseorang, namun nyatanya kamu adalah orang yang tetap aku inginkan. Saat pertama kali aku bertemu denganmu, dan saat itu aku berharap bahwa diriku bisa bersanding denganmu dan mengenalmu dengan lebih baik, dalam hatiku aku berdoa semoga kelak aku yang akan memenangkan dirimu dan mendampingimu hidup diantara orang-orang yang berdiri di sampingmu sekarang. Maafkan aku juga yang telah lancang meminjam namamu atas doaku. Sebuah nama yang menjadi pengulangan atas do’a dan sujudku, entah seberapa hebat dirimu sampai bisa memenangkan hatiku dari sekian banyak manusia dimuka bumi ini, daya tarik apa yang kamu punya sehingga namamu saja kuperjuangkan di hadapan tuhanku yang menjadi candu. Untuk nama yang selalu menjadi pengulangan atas do’a dan ibadahku. Aku berharap ada balasan atas perihal tentang hatiku dan perasaanku kepadamu. Aku sudah tidak mengerti lagi bagaimana caraku merayu semesta agar aku bisa bersamamu, entah sekuat apa pintu hatimu, sampai kamu tidak bisa mendengar sedikit pun ketukan dariku, apakah kamu tuli sampai kamu tidak mendengar jeritan yang selalu menyebut namamu. Entah sampai kapan aku akan menjadi orang yang gigih untuk tetap memperjuangkanmu, sedangkan hujan yang berpetir pun sudah meremehkanku, lihatlah dengan sombongnya iya pamer bahwa langit yang beberapa saat hujan badai kini menampilkan pelangi yang indah untuk, dipamerkan kepada siapa pun yang melihatnya, seolah berkata ia telah berdamai dari waktu kelamnya. Lantas bagaimana dengan diriku yang sampai saat ini masih terombang-ambing badai kehidupan namun tidak kunjung mereda, Sedangkan badai itu sendiri semakin hari semakin kuat untuk membuatku terjatuh. Jikalau aku bisa meminta aku ingin berhenti dan istirahat sejenak, tidak mungkin kalau aku akan baik-baik saja saat ini. Entah berapa ribu luka lagi yang harus aku tutupi, dan seberapa kuat lagi aku bisa bangun setelah ribuan kali jatuh.

After the tragic death of my best friend, I took her younger brother in and treated him like my own. Everyone knew how much Zach Lawson meant to me, so much so that I vowed not to marry because I could not bear leaving him. The day he turned eighteen, he got on one knee and asked me to marry him. With tears of joy streaming down my face, I took the bouquet from him, only to realize they were made of writhing snakes. Everyone laughed at my misfortune. It was an artfully crafted joke, at my expense. Thalia Lewis laced her arm through Zach's and grinned. "Sorry about that, Sydney. It was just an innocent prank. Zach is willing to do anything to make me smile!" Zach gave me a look of utter disgust. "Is this what you think of me? You're my sister! How can you even think of marrying me? This is vile! Is this the reason you took me in? Have you been secretly pining for me since the start?" My whole life had come crashing down around me. I was overcome with shock, misery, and despair, until Connor Grey showed up and asked for my hand in marriage.

My ex-fiancé made me do a blood test the night before our wedding. The next day, he threw the genetic report on my face and dumped me over defective genes. The reason was that the Zimmer family only wanted perfect heirs, and he said that I was not worthy. He broke off the engagement, and instantly married the girl-next-door with perfect genes. Five years later, he reappeared in the hospital, clutching his ill son. He saw my daughter who had similar rashes, and he thought I had given birth to his daughter in secrecy. Little did he know that my daughter had nothing to do with him and only had a mild seafood allergy. I would not be defined by the so-called defective genes again, while me and my daughter live happily and healthily, it was their turn to be destroyed.
