Chapter 688 Apex
While Ross was busy living his chaotic, larger-than-life existence, the world around him couldn't stop talking.
Everywhere—from online forums to mainstream media, from street gossip to late-night talk shows—his name was on everyone's lips.
Ross Oakley and his family had once again become the center of global attention.
It wasn't just fame anymore. It was obsession.
And why wouldn't it be?
He was, without question, the most popular man on the planet.
"Wow! A man with over 30 kids in a single year," one person said in disbelief, scrolling through the headlines.
"Ross Oakley is something else. More than just a damn playboy—he's like a legend walking among mortals."
"At least he's not impotent like you, so shut the fuck up," another snapped back, quick to defend him.
"Ross has done more good than you and your entire bloodline combined," someone else chimed in, firing back in the heated comment section of a viral video.
The debates were endless, loud, and emotional. There was mockery.
There was admiration. There was jealousy, worship, and rage.
But if you listened closely—beyond the noise, beyond the haters and die-hard fans—it wasn't hard to notice one simple truth: Ross Oakley had built a global legion of supporters.
They weren't just fans. They were loyalists.
People who followed his every move, who saw him not as a celebrity, but as a symbol—of raw success, of untamed freedom, of doing whatever the hell you wanted and still coming out on top.
Sure, his reputation was far from spotless. The man had a rap sheet longer than most novels.
He had beaten people to a pulp in full view of the public, thrown hands with celebrities, and racked up a long string of court cases that were still pending or ongoing.
To some, he was a menace. A walking controversy. A lawsuit waiting to happen.
But to others?
He was a hero.
A modern-day rebel who didn't play by society's rules because he didn't need to.
The number of scholarships he funded, the hospitals he helped build, the disaster relief efforts he bankrolled—those were the things his fans never forgot.
The good he had done over the years, whether in secret or under the spotlight, far outweighed any scandal.
So while Ross Oakley went about his day, maybe racing down a coastal highway in one of his supercars or feeding one of his many newborns with a laugh on his lips, the world kept spinning—and talking.
And somewhere in between the hate and the love, the truth was clear:
Ross wasn't just living history.
He was rewriting it.
As for his sex life, Ross Oakley was never short of company.
Women came and went—models, influencers, celebrities, daughters of powerful men—all drawn to his name, his charm, his dangerous allure.
He indulged in them freely, never hiding his desires, never pretending to be the loyal type.
It wasn't cruelty; it was honesty.
Ross didn't make promises he had no intention of keeping.
He gave pleasure, luxury, and unforgettable moments, and in return, they gave him their time, their bodies, and sometimes, even their hearts.
But for Ross, there was always a difference between the women he had and the ones he wanted—the new ones, the wild cards, the ones who didn't expect him, didn't need him, and yet couldn't resist the pull once they crossed his path.
That was the thrill. That was the hunt.
And it wasn't something he forced.
He didn't scroll through social media looking for targets or send out people to scout for beauty.
That wasn't his style. He let fate do the work.
A fortuitous encounter, a casual meeting, a glance across a room—that was what he lived for.
Ross believed that if he simply waited, the universe would drop the next temptation right at his feet.
So he waited.
For weeks, then months. He entertained himself with the familiar—lavish parties, luxurious vacations, the loyal women already in his life.
But deep down, he was waiting.
He could feel the anticipation building, the silence before the storm.
And finally, just as he knew it would, fate delivered.
She wasn't just beautiful. She was arresting.
There was a sharpness in her gaze, a stillness in her movement.
She walked into the private rooftop event like she owned the stars above them, dressed in black silk that clung to her like a second skin. Every head turned. Even his.
Their eyes met, and there was no coy smile, no flutter of lashes.
She walked over to him as if they'd known each other in another life, and when she spoke, it wasn't with the breathy flirtation he'd grown used to—it was with challenge.
"Do you consider yourself a womanizer," she asked, her voice low and calm, "or just someone who can't be content with what he has, and gets bored easily with his women?"
The air around them seemed to still.
Ross raised his glass, considering her. Most women tried to impress him.
She tried to dissect him. That alone made her dangerous.
He smiled—not his usual smirk, but something slower, deeper.
"That depends," he said, his voice smooth. "Is that what you see when you look at me?"
She didn't answer. She just held his gaze, steady and unflinching.
And in that moment, Ross Oakley knew. He had to have her.
Not because she was another conquest, but because she was real.
She didn't swoon or fawn. She questioned. She challenged.
She had the power to walk away and the fire to burn him if she stayed.
That was what made her irresistible.
Fate had come knocking again, and Ross, as always, didn't just open the door.
He welcomed it with open arms and an unapologetic grin.
Because when it came to women, Ross Oakley didn't chase. He waited.
And when the right one appeared, he conquered.
Ross was already thinking ahead, his mind spinning with possibilities.
He wasn't just admiring her beauty—he was plotting. Calculating.
Imagining exactly how he was going to get this woman into his bed.
He wanted to hear her scream his name, again and again, as he took her without restraint, claiming every inch of her until she couldn't think of anything—or anyone—else.
He didn't just want her body. He wanted to break past that cool, composed exterior and make her feel him—wild, raw, unforgettable.
