Marco raised his spoon and rapped it smartly against the rim of his wineglass.A bright, ringing note sliced through the air, snapping heads around to face him. He cleared his throat, letting the hush settle.“Folks, I have some damn good news,” he began with a wide, self-assured grin.“I made a killing today, and I want to celebrate with all of you.”The crowd stirred, excitement flickering in every eye.Florence straightened in her seat, practically brimming with curiosity. “Well, don’t keep us in suspense, Marco! Spill it already!”With exaggerated pride, Marco leaned forward. “I just sunk my entire fortune—one hundred million dollars—into a stock. In a week, that investment will shoot straight to a billion.”Gasps rose around the table. Jack nearly choked on his drink, eyes bulging. “A billion? Are you out of your mind?”“Oh, I’m in my right mind,” Marco retorted, his tone smug.“It’s Vermont National Life Group—Vermont’s top company. Jericho Kane owns it, and everyone knows him.

Kane Mansion, Vermont – Early MorningJericho Kane, the wealthiest lord in all of Vermont, sipped his tea in the heart of what he called a “garden”—though it more closely resembled a small forest, artfully tamed to appear wild.Tall pines and manicured undergrowth rustled in the breeze, while the sweet scent of damp soil hovered in the cool morning air.Across from Jericho sat Vetala, an elderly man with a slender frame and an ageless glint in his dark eyes.A bodyguard strode in, halted by Jericho’s side, and leaned down to whisper.“What?” Jericho murmured, his brow creasing in disbelief. “Harlan and Luke are dead?”His hand clenched around the fine porcelain teacup, and a wave of anger washed over his sharp features.Harlan was no mere associate—he was Jericho’s ultimate weapon in Vancouver.Luke, on the other hand, had been trusted with guarding Charles Kingston, another piece of Jericho’s larger plan.“Who did it?” Jericho demanded, voice vibrating with fury. “Who dared touch my

Jarvis pinned Jasper with a gaze so sharp it felt like a razor at his throat.“Did you see it with your own eyes?” he demanded, his voice low and precise.Jasper swallowed hard. “No,” he admitted, “but Hank told me he saw him do it.”For a moment, Jarvis simply stared, and Jasper’s pulse thundered in his ears.He could swear his fate dangled by a thread beneath Jarvis’s cold scrutiny.Then, with a curt jerk of his head, Jarvis turned and strode toward the front entrance of the sprawling mansion.Soldiers had already forced Hank and Hugo down on their knees, and they trembled under the weight of his judgment.He halted in front of them, his voice as steely as his glare. “You—both of you. Who killed Harlan?”Hank, sweating bullets, jabbed a finger at Hugo. “It was him! Hugo killed Boss Harlan!”Jarvis’s gaze shifted to Hugo. “Explain.”Hugo’s voice came out dull, spent.“When I got there, Harlan was already on the floor. He was dead.”“Liar!” Hank spat. “You killed Boss Harlan!”Jarvis

Marco stormed into the room, his anger barely contained.Charles Kingston sat comfortably, flanked by Bill and a few bodyguards from Vermont."Marco, you're here to join the fun too?" Charles grinned, leaning back in his sofa."Charles, I transferred my money. You said Vermont National Life Group would enter Vancouver, but why hasn't it happened yet?" Marco demanded.Charles chuckled, swirling his drink."I promised they would come, but I never said it would be today. Be patient, Marco. Are you already running out of money? I heard your gigolo business is thriving. Those old ladies are practically throwing their fortunes at you."Everyone in the room was aware of Marco’s primary business, but hearing Charles mock him still stung—especially since it was his money that had been lost."I heard your sister, Jasmine Kingston, is stopping the expansion. My money—I want it back.""She did?" Charles laughed, the sound casual, almost amused."Marco, if you're too scared to take a loss in busin

A woman woke up with a pounding headache, her body feeling heavy and sluggish. As she shifted slightly, she was shocked to find a naked stranger lying next to her. WTF?!She jolted awake, freezing in place.Panic started to rise as she tried desperately to remember how she ended up in a stranger's bed. Then, a terrifying realization hit her—she was naked and no longer a virgin. Just then, the man stirred, his dark eyes fluttering open and locking onto hers. “Wow, last night was incredible. Want to keep going?” He sat up casually, completely at ease, his flawless body on full display. He grabbed a bottle of water from the bedside table and offered it to her. “Here, drink this. You must be thirsty. We can pick up where we left off if you’re up for it.” Unable to contain her fear and anger any longer, the woman’s hand moved on its own, slapping him hard across the face. “Who are you? How did I end up here? What have you done to me?” The man, Alexander Leonhart, blinked, his ch

"You're truly unruly, uneducated, and nothing more than a frog in a well, thinking you're so great!” Sophia scoffed with disdain. “That's why I despise talking to someone as lowly as you!" Alex chuckled, “Believe me, I am trying to be honest here.” "You? A powerful man?" she sneered, glaring at him with utter disgust. "You can't even begin to understand how powerful I am or the people I've encountered who are far more powerful than you. They could erase you with just a sneer." Alex laughed. "The powerful men you know might be the ones seeking my favor, pleading for me to marry their daughters just to stay in my good graces. Trust me, you're incredibly lucky to have crossed paths with me." What a braggart!Sophia rowed her eyes in disgust.She wanted nothing more than to throw something at his smug face. How shameless could he be, pretending to be so powerful when all he had was an old military backpack? "You might pretend not to know me and try to bind me with marriage just

"Young Master, my only daughter was born sick, and now it's worse." Alfred's eyes filled with sorrow, "She's in pain every day. I've seen every doctor, spent a fortune, tried everything—nothing helps. She's only getting worse. Please, help her. I'll do anything."Alex gazed at him calmly. "I'll meet your daughter tomorrow." Alfred was stunned. He hadn’t expected His Highness would agree to lend a helping hand so easily.He grabbed Alex's hand, bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, my lord!" He whispered, his words heavy with all he felt. Previously, Alfred hadn’t believed his luck when his leader mentioned Alex's visit to Vancouver. Albert wasn’t entirely sure who Alex was. However, what he was certain was even his leader must kneel before Alex! If Alex’s was displeased, millions of lives could vanish. But if he was satisfied, even the dying could live! As the head of the Kingswell organization in Vancouver, Albert had heard the rumors. About a high-ranking figure known as "God

As Alex approached the house entrance, Sophia noticed that Alex was behind her. "Haven’t you had enough?" "Believe me," Alex replied, "running into you is the last thing I wanted today." Sophia stepped out, blocking his path. "So, what is it then? Are you here to remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?" "Mistake?" Alex’s tone grew colder. "I could say the same. You think I enjoyed waking up and realizing I’d wasted my time with someone so shallow?" "Shallow?" Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger. "You’re just bitter because you know I’m right. You’re nothing but a loser, a gold-digger." Alex laughed, shaking his head. "You’re delusional. I don’t need anything from you, least of your money." Sophia stepped even closer, her finger jabbing the air between them. "Then what do you want? To ruin my life even more?" "No, I’m not here to ruin anything." Alex locked his eyes with hers. "I’m meeting my fiancée." "Your fiancée? You have a fiancée?" Sophia shocked. "I’m here to me

Jack leaned back in his chair, smirking like a predator who’d already caught his prey.“You might as well start stripping, you broke bastard. Once that wine master shows up, you’re gonna be running down the street butt-naked. And if you don’t, I’ll make sure you limp for the rest of your life.”Alex let out a dry laugh.“You really shouldn’t count your chickens before they hatch. It’s embarrassing watching you gloat this early.”Before Jack could retort, the front door burst open.A man in a crisp business suit hurried in, breathless."I hear there's an old bottle of wine waiting to be tested," he declared, his eyes gleaming with excitement.“Master Jude! You made it,” Jack said, beckoning him over. “Thanks for dashing right over. I need you to confirm something for me.”But Jude didn’t spare Jack more than a quick glance.He spotted the open bottles on the table and strode straight to them.“Is that a 2005 Romanée-Conti? That’s at least a hundred grand a pop, right?”Jack puffed out

Jack hoisted a lavishly decorated wine box for all to see.“Granddad, check this out. Marco just dropped by with a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru. We ought to crack it open and celebrate!”Abraham leaned forward, eyebrows raised.“La Romanée-Conti? That’s one of those outrageously pricey labels, isn’t it?”“You bet,” Marco said with a self-satisfied grin.“This baby’s a 2005 vintage, and it set me back a cool hundred grand.”The room erupted with shocked gasps.Even for the Lancaster clan, a $100,000 bottle of wine was the stuff of fairy tales.Florence eyed Marco with a mix of surprise and pride. “Good heavens, Marco. That’s a bit excessive, don’t you think?”Yet beneath her admonishing tone, she practically glowed.After all, Marco was now the suitor she had her heart set on for her daughter.Marco waved off the concern with a dismissive chuckle.“A hundred grand is nothing. I’ve got another whole barrel of this at home. It’s my pleasure to share.”The family descended on him

Three days on the private island had changed everything.Kelly, known for a demeanor as frosty as winter, finally laid down her shield.In that brief span, she showed Alex a tenderness and warmth she’d never shared with another soul.For his part, Alex shut out the rest of the world, allowing Kelly to become his entire universe.They forged memories so intimate and delicate, neither dared to share them with anyone else.On the last afternoon, Alex stood on the beach, watching Kelly’s helicopter touch down in a swirling gust of sand and wind.She climbed in, and the engine roared to life.He swallowed hard as the aircraft lifted from the ground, growing smaller in the sunlit sky until it vanished over the horizon.A familiar tune echoed through his mind, a bittersweet refrain:“I once spent the night in same room,Drank her water,Ate her leftover meals.Kissed her lips and held her close until dawn.I saw her bare face when morning came,Laughed with her, cried with her on the same mo

Luke had been born and raised in Vermont, he resented the new monarch.In his eyes, the rightful successor to the throne was Jericho Kane—no one else deserved that honor after the old king’s downfall.But when the old king lost and fled into hiding in Vermont, Jericho Kane’s hunger for power was ignited.Luke’s dislike for the current ruler only grew into seething contempt.Standing tall beneath the trees, Luke scowled at Kelly, letting her cling to him in desperation.His tone cut through the still air. “You Kingston people—followers of that new king—nothing but maggots and bitches.”The venom in his words reflected the unwavering pride in his eyes.He leaned closer, his voice dripping with arrogance. “I’ll show you how a man from Vermont pleases a maggot and a bitch like you. We are the superior men.”Kelly pressed herself against him, her breathing quick and shallow.A sultry whisper escaped her lips. “Really?”Before Luke could process her intent, a glint of silver flashed in Kell
