Alexander’s breath was heavy as he sprinted down the narrow corridor, his eyes locked on the shadowy figure ahead. As he closed the distance, the figure finally stopped, stepping into a dimly lit chamber at the end of the hall. Alexander slowed his pace, his weapon ready, as the figure turned to face him.

It was Highlord, the leader of the organization, a man whose reputation had struck fear in the hearts of many. His cold eyes met Alexander’s, and a slow smirk formed on his lips. "You’re persistent, I’ll give you that," Highlord said, his voice calm despite the chaos surrounding them. "But by following me, you’ve just signed your death warrant."

Alexander's heart pounded, but he kept his weapon steady. "You think I care about the danger? I’ve come too far to back down now."

Highlord chuckled softly, his gaze unwavering. "You always were reckless. And now, you’ve endangered not just yourself, but everyone who followed you." He gestured casually to the entrance of the chamber.

    The presentation was unable to take place, as the audience rejected Elena or anyone from the Valking family. Elena’s face turned pale as she stood frozen in shock, her breath catching in her throat. Alexander was being humiliated, just like always. The crowd’s laughter echoed around the hall as people hurled food at him mercilessly."What is this imbecile still doing here!""Get him out now!" they all shouted, their faces twisted in disgust as they kept throwing food at him. Elena's heart pounded. Without thinking, she rushed forward and immediately pulled Alexander to his feet, shielding him with her body. Her voice trembled as she whispered, "Let's go, babe, let's go." They both hurried out of the hall, their footsteps quick and shaky, making their way to the car. As they reached the safety of the vehicle, Elena’s hands trembled while she fumbled to put it in gear. Tears stung her eyes, but she fought them back, trying to stay composed for Alexander's sake.Inside the car, food

    Inside the car, Alexander’s fingers fumbled with the door handle, knocking on the window in frustration, but he didn’t know how to open it. His face was a mixture of confusion and fear, his eyes wide and darting around as if searching for something familiar."Mommy, mommy," he whimpered softly, his voice barely above a whisper. His hands shook as he continued knocking, his eyes filling with tears.He suddenly froze, his gaze falling on the engagement ring lying on the car seat where Elena had thrown it. His breath hitched, and his body tensed."Ughhh, no! No!" he groaned, clutching his head in both hands as memories flooded back, hitting him like a tidal wave. "The ring... the ring, oh no!" He slumped down in the seat, his heart racing as images flashed before his eyes. His past, his family, his responsibilities... everything came rushing back to him, sharp and painful. "What has happened to me!" he muttered, his face contorted in anguish.Alexander, once the proud heir of the Kyoul

    The news of the arrival of the Vortex Empire to New York immediately caused havoc throughout the city, and every news channel was streaming it. Even in the room of the Valking Grandhouse, their eyes were glued to the TV as the newscaster reported the event.Alexander and Elena stood up, as Elena didn’t have the right to sit at the basic level unless given permission.After the news finished, Mr. Harington sighed, rubbing his temple in frustration. “That’s huge news. Even now, the market is shifting. We have to be on the safer side, and that means getting involved with the Vortex Company. Now that they're new here, they’ll offer opportunities for companies to invest in them. You all know what profits could come from that,” he said, a hint of urgency in his tone.They all nodded, though some glanced at each other nervously.“So, we have to become one of their investors, which will be very difficult. I want someone from this family who is bold, smart, and intelligent enough to secure t

    Elena gently held Alexander’s hand, her voice soft and pleading. “You don’t have to do this. I’m okay like this. You can’t face the Quinn family; you don’t know anything about them. They kill like it’s nothing!” Her wide, fearful eyes searched his face, desperate to dissuade him.Alexander gave her a wry smile, squeezing her hand gently. His gaze softened as he looked into her eyes. “It’s okay, babe. Just have faith in me, and I will do it!”Across the room, Jackson burst into laughter, his eyes glinting with scorn. “Faith in you? Do you even have faith in yourself?” He leaned forward, grinning. “Listen… this is real life, not some fiction story where you think things will go your way. You can never confront the Quinn family.”Maya crossed her arms, shaking her head. “He really wants to die so badly,” she muttered under her breath.Mr. Harington, leaning back in his chair with a sigh, nodded slightly. The debt had been overdue for years, and they’d long given up hope of collecting it.

Seriously, this is pathetic.”Mr. Harington, observing the exchange with a smug look, nodded. The debt had been a thorn in his side for years, but he never expected anyone to dare challenge the Quinns. “Alright. If you can collect that debt from the Quinn family, then Elena will be elevated to the notable level. Both of you will."Alexander nodded firmly, determination etched

Even your mom’s family doesn’t want me anymore, and you’re being humiliated yourself. It’s time to ditch this lowlife, worthless husband of yours and marry Xander."Xander smiled as he stood up.

At that moment, Elena opened the door wide for her.Mandera stepped inside, and Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. “Hey, Mandera. Long time. What are you doing here?”Mandera gently rubbed her stomach. “I’m here because of this. I’m going to have a baby… your baby,” she said simply.Alexander froze, processing her words.

I’m here, and so is your child.”Alexander scoffed, narrowing his eyes. “Olivia, what are you playing at this time? I know that’s not my child. I’m not responsible for the pregnancy, and now you show up, out of nowhere, claiming the kid is mine?”Her smile faltered for a moment before she composed herself. “Yes, he *is* yours. I left back then because I was embarrassed, not because he isn’t your child. Here’s the DNA test,” she said, pulling a document from her bag and extending it toward him.A
