Hannah Walmer broke up with Michael Quinn because he was poor. Hannah and her new lover further humiliated Michael publicly. This left Michael devastated and heartbroken. He then considered taking his own life. But just as Michael was about to end his life, something unexpected happened. He discovered he possessed incredible abilities beyond his wildest imagination.

The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 1 .

It was 8:30 PM at Skyline Restaurant. Michael Quinn, a waiter, was seen before a simply decorated table in the regular dining area of the restaurant.

He looked so stressed and tired, with his uniform drenched in sweat. This was because the day's shift had been so hectic for him.

Despite how tired he was, he still took the time to decorate a table to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday.

He made this warm arrangement as a surprise for his girlfriend, Hannah Walmer.

Michael and Hannah had been dating since their last year at university. Since then, he had wished to celebrate her birthday elaborately. Unfortunately, his account balance had never allowed him to do so.

However, Michael had worked hard to make today different.

As one of the lowest-paid waiters at Skyline Restaurant, he was able to make this day exceptional by spending all his savings.

Michael rose to his feet, gazing at his beautiful handiwork. A soft smile appeared on his tired face, yet he felt fulfilled.

The table was covered with a white tablecloth, and a small bunch of pink roses was placed in the middle.

Three candles in pretty holders added warm light to the space. A tiny vase with green leaves was sitting at the centerpiece.

Above the table, a handmade "Happy Birthday" banner was hung.

Michael had ordered a cake from the patisserie, so it seemed all plans had been achieved.

He fished out his phone, checking the time. It was already 8:45 PM, and then he dialed Hannah's number.

He wanted to pull a prank on her so she would rush down to his workplace in a hurry. This would make the surprise even more exciting.

Hannah's line rang several times, but she was not picking up. Michael tried for the seventh time, but there was no difference.

"Maybe she isn't with her phone at the moment. I will try again in a few minutes," he assured himself.

Then, he decided to rush to the patisserie to check on the cake he ordered.

On his way, he saw Fiona, the Patisserie Chef, coming out of the elevator. As soon as the lady saw Michael, she waved her hands at him.

"The cake is not ready, Michael. I'm busy with so many orders. Austin Graham, the son of the billionaire of the city, is proposing to his girlfriend today."

"How does that have anything to do with what I ordered?" Michael frowned.

"All my colleagues are at the VIP lounge; I would have asked one of them to attend to you. If you don't mind, you can join us there too." Fiona's face widened with a grin while Michael was very angry.

Fiona retrieved some items and then returned to the VIP lounge. She didn't even listen to all the explanations Michael tried to give her.

Michael was very annoyed when he got to the patisserie and discovered none of the chefs were there, just as she said.

"What rubbish is this? Money is really powerful. If not, why would all the chefs leave their duties because of one spoiled brat?"

Then, he rushed to the VIP lounge to see if he could talk to any other baker. It was getting late already. Isn't it crazy that all the time, effort, and money he spent should go to waste?

Michael's frowning face gazed at the VIP lounge. It was beautifully decorated and looked more fascinating than usual.

There were pink and gold balloons everywhere in the lounge. The ceiling was adorned with tiny lights that twinkled like stars.

The smell of fresh flowers and delicious cake filled the air.

"Say yes!"

"Say yes!"

"Say yes!" This chant resonated throughout the room.

Michael was surprised to see the lounge filled. Almost all his colleagues were there.

He was looking closely, trying to find the chefs when he heard a voice that sounded so familiar.

"On this day, I, Hannah Walmer, agree to be your wife, Austin Graham," a beautiful young lady said happily, stretching her left hand forward to accept a ring that shone so brightly.

Michael's gaze shifted to the center of attention, and he froze immediately.

His mind went blank and his head spun. Blood stopped flowing in his veins as every part of him became numb and cold.

He was covered in sweat within a few seconds, and his heart began to race. He wiped his face with his palm to confirm that he wasn't dreaming.

Opening his eyes wide, he found that his eyes weren't lying to him.

"Congratulations!"

"This is nice!" The onlookers commented, clapping.

The young man offering Hannah a ring, Austin Graham, was about to slide the ring onto her finger when Michael roared.

"Enough!!"

A sudden shock took over the lounge, and there was complete silence.

However, the ring had already slid onto Hannah's finger as the thunderous voice trailed off.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
