2025-01-03 16:38:32“Father?! Aunt Elina?!”
Selune jumped up, her eyes wide in shock as a flood of people burst into the room.
Her sudden movement nearly caused the towel she had wrapped around herself to fall.
She scrambled to keep it in place, her hands shaking with embarrassment.
Her perfect figure—accidentally exposed—made her cheeks burn, and her heart raced in shame.
But it seemed only to fuel her father’s fury even more.
Harold’s finger trembled as he pointed at her, his voice shaking with anger.
“What the hell are you doing?! Who the hell is this man?!”
He shouted. Seeing his daughter barely dressed, lying next to a half-naked man, was too much for him to handle. His heart almost stop.
Selune finally realized how easily this situation could be misunderstood.
“It’s not what you think! I don’t even know this man!”
“You don’t know him?!” Harold’s voice cracked in disbelief. “Your wedding’s coming up, and you’re sleeping with some random guy?!”
“No! Please, let me explain! He—”
Before she could finish, a slow, mocking round of applause interrupted her.
Elina sneered, clapping slowly. Her cold, contemptuous eyes locked onto Selune.
“Just like her mother,” Elina said, her voice dripping with venom. “A disgrace. A slut.”
“Your wedding’s in three days, and you know Ken Wells only wants virgins!”
She turned to Harold.
“But your precious daughter? Clearly, she’s no virgin now. What should we do with her, Harold?”
The humiliation hit Selune like a punch to the gut. She bit her lip until it nearly bled.
Harold’s face turned bright red with fury. His fists clenched, but there was nothing he could do to fight back against Elina.
After all, she controlled the family’s wealth.
With nowhere else to vent his anger, he swung his palm at Selune’s face!
“You! How the hell did I raise a whore like you?!”
Just as his hand was about to strike, a figure moved—fast as lightning—and grabbed his arm.
Selune squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the slap. But the pain never came.
She opened her eyes in shock.
The man—still unconscious just moments ago—was now standing in front of her, blocking her father’s slap with one powerful grip.
The Griffin tattoo on the man’s back seemed to stare at her.
How? She hadn’t even noticed him wake up.
The man’s eyes were cold, sharp, locked on Harold with a dangerous intensity, like a predator about to pounce.
Harold screamed in pain as he tried to pull away, but the man’s grip was unbreakable—like iron.
“Let go of me, you bastard!” Harold shouted, but the man didn’t budge.
He just stared at him, calculating and relentless.
Harold’s face burned with humiliation.
His daughter, barely dressed, caught in the act with a stranger.
And now this man was making a fool of him in front of everyone—especially in front of his sister!
“Someone! Get him down!” Harold screamed, his veins bulging.
The bodyguards exchanged glances with Elina. After a nod from her, they rushed forward, charging at the man!
But before they could even make a move, the sound of bodies crashing to the floor echoed through the room.
One by one, the bodyguards were sent flying, smashing into furniture and hitting the ground like ragdolls, groaning in pain.
Selune’s eyes widened. She hadn’t seen him move.
One second, he was standing in front of her, and the next, her family’s men were sprawled across the room.
Harold and Elina stood frozen in disbelief.
These were professional bodyguards—handpicked to take on a dozen men without breaking a sweat.
But all of them, combined, couldn’t even land a single blow on this one man!
Elina’s face twisted with fury, but a flicker of fear passed through her eyes.
“Useless fools!” she snapped. “Get out of here!”
The bodyguards scrambled to leave, clearly eager to avoid facing the man any longer.
“You, young lady. You’ll pay for this!”
Elina shot one last glare at the them before fleeing the room.
As the last bodyguard disappeared, Harold collapsed, clutching his arm, his face contorted in pain and frustration.
“Dad, are you okay?”
Selune rushed to him, concerned about his injury.
But Harold, his anger still simmering, shoved her away violently.
The humiliation was too much. The storm inside him broke, and he couldn’t even look at the man.
So, He directed his rage toward Selune.
“Get away from me!”
“She was right! You’re just a slut!”
“From today on, you’re no longer part of this family! Get the fuck out!”
With one last furious glance, Harold stormed out of the room.
“Dad!”
Selune tried to call after him, but he didn’t even look back.
She stood there, alone, her heart shattering as she stared at the empty doorway.
How had things gotten this bad?
A single act of kindness—saving a stranger—had led to this nightmare.
It was all because of him.
Selune turned to face the man, fury burning in her chest as she glared at the stranger who had ruined her life.
“What the hell were you doing?!”
“I saved your life! Is this how you pay me back?!”
Since she was a little girl, Selune had believed that the only way to earn her parents and her family’s approval was by being perfect—by doing everything right.
Even if it meant marrying a pervert, she would have done it willingly.
But now, everything she had worked for, everything she’d sacrificed, had been destroyed by this stranger.
The man replied nothing. Then, without warning, he collapsed, his body hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Startled, Selune rushed to him, checking for a pulse. Her breath caught in her throat when she realized he was still alive, just unconscious.But in this moment, even someone like Selune, who was usually calm and composed in board meetings, found herself at a loss.Her family was falling apart, and the next, there was an unconscious stranger in her room. She had no idea how to deal with any of it!Perhaps her attitude toward him had been a bit too harsh earlier—after all, he was just an innocent bystander caught up in all of this.‘Just wait until he wakes up’, she thought, trying to regain some sense of control.‘Then, I can get him to a hospital, get him out of here, and explain everything to my father and Aunt Elina.’‘The engagement can still go on, and my father will forgive me. Maybe everything will go back to normal…’With that faint hope, Selune dragged the man back onto the bed.As she moved him, a ring slipped from his pocket, hitting the floor with a soft clink.What’s this?

The deafening roar of cheers filled his ears. He muttered the name: “Arthur…”“Good, looks like you’ve got your name back,” Selune said, her voice calm but firm.“Now you need to remember something else. I saved your life, and I’ll take you to a doctor to get checked out.”“I don’t expect anything from you in return, but…”Arthur looked at her, waiting for her to finish.“You’re coming home with me. You’re going to explain the relationship between us. Clear everything up. Got it?”The cold, no-nonsense command in her voice brooked no argument.“Fine. And… thank you. I’ll never forget it.” Arthur nodded.The conditions were reasonable, even beneficial to him. He had no reason to refuse.Her expression softened for just a moment, satisfied with his answer. “Good. I’ll be at the door in ten minutes.”As she walked out, Arthur stayed seated on the bed, the weight of the ring in his hand drawing his attention.He turned it over and over, its cold surface a link to his forgotten past.Sudde

"It's getting late. Grab your stuff. I'll be waiting in the car,"Selune said, glancing at her watch before turning and walking out of the villa without waiting for Arthur to respond.Arthur picked up his ruined combat suit from the floor. With a flick of his wrist, a burst of golden flame shot from his palm.In an instant, the suit was consumed by the fire, reduced to smoke that disappeared into the air.There was no trace left, just like the past he wanted to bury.He couldn’t afford to leave any evidence behind. His enemies weren’t the type to let him walk away.If they couldn’t find his body, it wouldn’t be long before they tracked him here.Once the poison in him wore off, he’d make sure everyone who’d betrayed him paid for it.By the time Arthur stepped outside, Selune was already waiting in the car.A sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom sat in the driveway, its ghostly-gray body gleaming in the fading sunlight.Through the tinted windows, the light caught Selune’s pale blonde hair, givin

The problem seemed simple: just a few busted wires.Arthur grabbed a toolbox from the trunk and got to work under the hood.His hands moved with practiced precision, cutting away the fried sections and patching them up.Then he paused, brows furrowing slightly.This damage... It wasn’t random. It felt deliberate.But he didn’t stop his hands, tightening screws and finishing the job.Selune was pacing nearby, her phone held high as she hunted for a signal. She barely heard Arthur call out to her.“It’s fixed. Give it a try.”“What? You can fix cars?” Selune blinked, a mix of confusion and curiosity flashed across her face.She slid back into the driver’s seat, turned the key—and sure enough, the engine roared to life.“You lose your memory, and you can still fix cars? Is this... muscle memory or something?”Arthur shrugged. “Maybe.”“You’re way too familiar with cars—You sure you weren’t a mechanic before?”“ If you don’t remember your past, you’ve got a backup career lined up.

“Leo, no!” Selune snapped, giving the lion a light smack. “He’s a guest. Back to your cage!”Leo let out a low growl, shooting Arthur one last murderous glare before turning and slinking off.After locking Leo up, Selune handed Arthur a glass of water."Sorry about that," she said. "Leo doesn’t really like strangers. I don’t get many visitors."Her icy demeanor cracked for a moment as she glanced back at the lion. “When I got him, he was so small he could fit in my hand. Now look at him.”Arthur followed her gaze to the massive golden lion, eyeing him cautiously.“Don’t get near to him.” Selune glanced warily at Arthur. "I know you’re strong, but against a full-grown lion? You’d be toast. Some guy broke in once—Leo ripped him apart. Let’s just say the cops had a lot of cleanup to do."There was no question that Leo was a powerful lion, standing nearly as tall as a person, with agile, muscular legs that could pounce in an instant. If one faced such a beast, death might be the most fort

Selune opened the door—and froze.Standing there, with a smug grin, was none other than her so-called fiancé, Ken Wells.“What the hell are you doing here?” Selune blinked, completely caught off guard.She didn’t expect him to show up, especially not with a small army of bodyguards behind him.“Don’t wanna see me?” Ken smirked, flicking his cigarette to the side. “How about you invite your fiancé in for a drink?”“It’s not a good time. I’m busy.”Selune quickly tried to shut the door, but Ken slammed his hand against it, stopping her.The sour, stale scent of booze on him made her scrunch up her face in disgust.“Seriously? You’ve got some nerve!”The door was opened halfway, but that was enough for Ken to spot a tall guy standing behind her.His anger flared, and he crushed his cigarette underfoot.“I bet you're afraid people will find out you're sneaking around behind my back, huh?”“Shut up! Or I’ll call the cops!”“You know I’m not lying, and you know I’m not afraid of the cops,”

Now!"Ken screamed, struggling to break free from Arthur.As the golden child of his family, Ken had trained in all kinds of martial arts.Regular people didn’t stand a chance against him.But right now? He couldn’t even get one hand out of Arthur!"You fucking motherfucker. I’ll slit your damn throat!"Ken gritted his teeth, pain shooting up his arm.Arthur’s lips twisted into a smirk."slit my throat?"Before Ken could react, Arthur flung him across the room like a ragdoll.Ken crashed hard to the floor near the door, the impact shaking the walls.It was like Arthur had just tossed a baseball.Selune gasped in disbelief.Ken struggled to his feet, blood dripping from his mouth, a broken tooth glinting in the mess.He wiped the blood away as he stared down Arthur with rage."Fuck… Kill him!!"At his command, a handful of bulky bodyguards rushed forward.These men weren’t just any thugs.

Arthur scanned the hospital, satisfied that everything was taken care of, and started heading for the exit.But before he could make it out the door, Sofia rushed up to him, stopping him in his tracks.Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she handed him a card."Wait! This card has thirty million on it. It's for the treatment, like I promised!"Marco stepped in, his voice filled with gratitude."You're the savior of our family. Thirty million isn't nearly enough. It should be fifty million!""Please, don’t turn it down! This amount can barely show how thankful we are!"Without waiting, Marco pulled out another card and pressed it into Arthur’s hand.His mind was already racing, calculating.This young man didn’t just diagnose his father’s illness in a snap, he cured him effortlessly when the so-called experts had given up!A genius doctor like him was someone worth keeping on their side.Even if he hadn’t saved their father, Arthur was someone they needed to win over.Fifty million wa

Without a second thought, she rushed inside.Arthur was right behind her, matching her pace as they reached the ICU entrance.Inside, Sofia’s father lay in the bed, hooked up to a tangle of IV lines and machines.Doctors and nurses moved in a blur, doing their best to keep him stable.By the bed stood a man who looked a lot like Sofia—Marco Ricci, Sofia’s brother, also the newly appointed gang leader.Arthur peeked through the small window; his eyes immediately drawn to the old man’s deteriorating condition.In his sixties, the elderly man had always struggled with health problems, but now, his condition seem

“Damn it!” Selune’s face went pale.Ana smirked, her eyes gleaming with amusement.“I knew this was a waste of time,” she muttered.Part of her was relieved Arthur had signed that waiver—at least this mess wasn’t the Herbert family's fault.But the other part of her? She was worried that the Black Snake Gang would retaliate against them.‘This idiot’s as good as dead,’ Harold thought, grinning. ‘He’s gonna regret showing off in front of all these people. The Black Snake Gang’s gonna tear him apart.’If the gang needed someone to take the fall, Arthur was a prime target.As long as they didn’t go after his whole family, Harold figured he’d be fine.He was almost excited to see Arthur fail—maybe get caught and tortured.After all, Arthur had nearly broken his wrist once.What Ha

Arthur arrived just in time to see a crowd swarming the entrance to the company, voices clashing in heated argument.In the center of the chaos stood Selune, a stunning blonde beauty, surrounded by two police officers.Her hands were cuffed, and even in a professional suit, her curves were impossible to ignore.It was clear—this was not how she had imagined her day going.Across from her, a woman with a face covered in angry, red boils screamed at Selune, her voice shaking with fury."Your company’s product ruined my skin! You malicious witch—poisoning your cosmetics to harm people!"Selune stayed calm, but the eyes of the crowd on her were making her skin crawl.Her company's products had passed all the tests—everything was supposed to be safe.How could this woman’s face have turned out like this?The woman glared at Selune’s flawless skin, green with envy, before her next words cut through the air."I’ll give you two choices: One, pay me 200 million dollars. Two, scar your own face

Her departure was smooth this time.The Charles family had given their word, and no one dared to stand in her way.What would normally take her half an hour by car, Selune made happen in just fifteen minutes.She was at her courtyard in no time.When she spotted Arthur in the backyard, a real smile—her first in days—spread across her face, but it quickly faded away."Hey, you're still here."Arthur heard the car pull up and knew she’d made it home safe, especially with the Charles family backing her."So, everything good?""Yeah, mostly. Some surprises, but it’s all working out." Selune’s face was as cool as ever, but her voice had a hint of excitement.Arthur couldn't help but grin when he noticed her upbeat mood.But then, a thought crept into Selune’s mind the moment she saw Arthur.She remembered Arthur mentioning something about helping her family financially.Could he be tied to the Charles family somehow?She shook the thought away.Peter Charles was already in his fifties, and

He handed her the paperwork with a polite nod.Selune blinked, stunned, but quickly regained her cool.With a confident smile, she took the contract, her fingers brushing the thick paper.As the CEO of a company, she’d signed her fair share of deals.She skimmed the document, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw the number—one billion dollars.The secretary saw her hesitation and added, "You don’t have to worry about a thing. This contract is real, and there are no hidden catches. It's all for you."Selune almost couldn't believe her luck. It was like they were handing her free money.She took the pen and signed her name with a flourish."I have no doubt about the Charles family’s sincerity. Please give my regards to Mr. Charles. I look forward to our future cooperation together."The secretary was clearly impressed by how composed she was.Meanwhile, Elina was boiling with jealousy.She watched as Selune signed the contract like it was nothing, her mind racing.Why couldn’t I be

Elina could barely contain her excitement.She had heard whispers that even the wealthy Wells family couldn’t get an invitation from the Charles family.And now, here her family was, catching the eye of the city’s elite.Could this be her big break? Was Lady Luck finally on her side?She’d sweep her brother’s family right out the door as soon as this meeting finished.“Quick! Bring them in!” Elina shouted, excitement bubbling in her voice.She stood by the door, while the servants lined up, waiting for the guest to arrive.The door opened.A middle-aged man in a sharp dark blue suit walked in, holding a document.Elina stepped forward, smiling broadly as she bent slightly at the waist.“We’re truly honored by your visit. How would you like to be addressed?”The man gave her a brief, almost indifferent glance, his face still all business.“No need for the formalities. I’m here on behalf of Mr. Charles.”Elina’s smile grew wider. “Of course, we’re deeply honored.”“As Mr. Charles’s secr
