"Stop it and get the hell away from my wife!" Adam's thunderous roar froze everyone in their place, forcing the crowd to step back from Claire. His bodyguards moved swiftly, shoving the mob aside to clear a path as Adam stormed toward her. "Oh, fuck!" Adam cursed under his breath, running a frustrated hand through his hair as his face darkened with fury. His eyes locked onto Claire, trembling and crying in pain on the floor. He promptly rushed to her side, dropping to his knees before her. "Who the fuck did this to her?" he growled, his fiery gaze sweeping across the crowd, daring anyone to respond. The people shrank under the weight of his glare, their earlier aggression melting into silence. No one dared to speak-until Hannah stepped forward, her smugness undeterred. "But she's not your wife, Adam," she sneered, her voice dripping with malice. "And look at her-pregnant with a bastard's child." Adam's jaw clenched, and his icy glare turned toward her. "Shut the fuck up," he snapped, his voice sharp and cold. "That child is mine. She's mine," he announced, shrugging off his jacket and wrapping it gently around Claire's trembling form. He pulled her into his protective embrace, his piercing glare sweeping over the crowd that had dared to harm her. "Be ready to face the consequences," he growled, his voice like steel. "For hurting my wife and threatening the life of my unborn child, I won't let a single one of you get away with this. Anyone who dares to touch my woman will regret it." With that, Adam scooped Claire into his arms as though she weighed nothing. Holding her close, he rushed toward his car, his bodyguards clearing the way with precision and authority, ensuring no one could bother him. "Adam, why are you here?" Claire asked, her voice filled with disbelief. She had told him he wasn't the father of her baby. So why had he said those things? Did he come back to save her from being killed by the frustrated mob? "I had to come, wifey," he replied, his voice firm and his expression still stern. He carried her with unwavering determination toward his car, his bodyguards following closely to shield them from the crowd. Sammy stood by the car and quickly opened the door as Adam approached. "Take us to the hospital-quickly!" Adam barked, his tone laced with urgency. The driver wasted no time starting the engine, speeding off to get them to the hospital as fast as possible. Adam sat beside Claire, holding her gently in his arms. He helped her stretch her legs out on the seat and rest her head on his chest. As he continued to caress her head and arms, she could feel the rapid beat of his heart against her ear, a clear sign of his fear and anger. "Adam, you... Didn't have to say those things," Claire said softly, her voice tinged with guilt. Watching him care for her so much made her feel bad for how coldly she had behaved toward him earlier. "Listen, wifey," Adam said with severity in his deep voice. But every time he called her 'wifey', Claire's heart skipped a beat. "I don't care who the father is," Adam continued, his tone firm, "You're mine, and so is the baby." Claire's chest tightened. "Are you not angry about the scandal?" Claire whispered through her teary eyes. Adam's eyes softened as he gazed down at her. "Why would I be angry, baby?" He held her closer, the warmth of his embrace comforting, as if he wanted to shield her from everything. She blinked, tears still threatening to spill. "Your image... the fans are furious. You could lose movie deals, endorsements... It's a huge loss." Adam's expression didn't waver. He kissed her forehead gently and said, "Nothing matters more than you, my love. I don't care about any of that. I'm willing to lose everything, as long as I have you. You're the only thing that matters to me." Claire looked up at him, blinking in disbelief. "I love you, Claire Simon. And I want to marry you... For real this time. Will you spend the rest of your life with me? Please don't say no, because I swear I'll die if you do that," he said with such sincerity that Claire's heart swayed, and she felt like she was falling in love with him all over again. She smiled softly, shaking her head slightly. "You're so stupid, Adam Whitmore," she said, teasing him gently. "I know, baby. And I'm sorry for everything," he said quietly, his expression soft and sincere. Claire watched him, a mix of admiration and disbelief in her eyes. He was apologizing for things that weren't even his fault. This man was total husband material. She thought with a little sigh. "This baby is yours," she told him the truth, her voice steady, though there was a vulnerability in it. Adam blinked at her, clearly surprised. "If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test," she added, her tone soft but serious. "No," he said quickly, cutting her off. Claire raised eyebrows, confused at his response. "No need for a test," he said, his voice firm. "For me, your word is enough, baby," he added, gently cupping her face with both hands, pulling her close. Then, lowering his head, he let his lips hover over hers, only a breath away from touching them. "I love you, wifey. And for me, only you matter," he murmured. Claire's eyes filled with tears. "But I'm not your wife anymore," she choked out, her voice thick with emotion. "Then let's get married right now," he said, brushing his lips over hers but not pulling away. "I need to call you my wife, married or not." With that, he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with all the love he felt. He felt his soul return to his body, and his heart could beat again. He kissed her as if she were his whole world, not wanting to pull away, Fearing she'd slip through his fingers again. "I love you, Adam Whitmore," Claire whispered, breathing heavily as he finally let her catch her breath. "I love you more, wifey," he smiled, his eyes sparkling with joy before kissing her again. "Adam, we've reached the hospital," Sammy's voice broke through their intimate moment, and they both realized the car had stopped. Adam quickly stepped out first and then carefully scooped Claire into his arms, carrying her into the hospital. He made sure she was seen by the best doctor, who thoroughly checked her and provided the best care for her injuries. To their relief, the baby was fine, and Claire didn't suffer any internal injuries. As the saying goes, all is well that ends. Adam and Claire were grateful to have found each other through everything. It felt like a new beginning for their lives. Claire had found her hero, her real-life love story that seemed straight out of a movie full of action, drama, and, most of all, a happy ending. However, Adam made sure that everyone who had tried to harm his wife and child faced justice. Hannah was put in jail, facing severe charges for her actions. Her career was ruined, and her parents were left on the streets, begging for money and food. Adam also gathered evidence against Daniel, who was now locked up for blackmail and drug abuse. With the help of Matteo Vinci, Adam ensured that Daniel would spend the rest of his life in prison, enduring daily torture through Matteo's connections in the jail. Adam was angry with his parents, but they apologized, and Claire forgave them. She also pleaded with Adam to forgive them, and although he was still upset, he couldn't say no to his bossy wife. He had to obey her request, as always.
