2024-08-21 09:42:07A 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 cheek stinging from the slap.
He looked at the woman in front of him—a mesmerizing beauty with silky hair and a body that radiated perfection.
Her face was a storm of anger and panic, but her very presence made his desire stir once again.
“You!” The woman, Sophia Lancaster, screamed as she saw something rising on the man. “You better tell me who you are!”
“Calm down!” Alex stared at her.
“You ran to me and asked me to sleep with you. Don’t you remember?”
“Impossible,” Sophia denied, shaking her head vehemently.
It was impossible that she would chase after a man, especially a stranger.
“You must have done something to me!”
She felt the rough texture of the blanket against her bare skin.
Confusion and fear swirled in her mind as she looked around the room, her eyes darting frantically.
The man’s old military backpack and plain clothes caught her attention—nothing in this hotel room indicated wealth.
The smartphone on the nightstand was a cheap one with a cracked screen.
With one glance, Sophia realized the man she had slept with was far from wealthy, just an ordinary man who struggled daily to make ends meet.
"Watch your accusations," Alex said calmly.
"I'm a gentleman, and I would never force anyone. You were the one who came to me, hugged me, kissed me, and begged me to sleep with you."
Sophia’s eyes wide opened.
“Liar!”
“This is my hotel room. You can check the CCTV if you want—see if you came here or if I kidnapped you.”
Sophia didn’t believe a word the man was saying, but suddenly, a memory flashed before her eyes.
She was supposed to have a meeting with Calvin Lecter, the CEO of a rival company, to discuss the ongoing price war that was causing her business to suffer.
She had thought they were meeting to find a solution, but it turned out Calvin had nasty intentions from the start.
He had drugged her, hoping to take advantage of her.
She remembered managing to escape with the help of his bodyguard, but as she ran from them, she stumbled across a man opening a door.
Desperate, she had hoped to hide in his room for a while.
But the drug Calvin had given her was a potent aphrodisiac, which made her desires flare uncontrollably.
A sudden sharp headache hit Sophia as the memories flooded back.
"Oh no! How could this happen?"
"Do you remember now?" Alex smirked. "You were the one begging."
“Shut up!” Sophia’s face turned bright red with shame and fury.
Under the drug’s influence, everything had seemed to make sense at the time, but now, everything felt so wrong. “Damn it!”
“Listen, I’m a gentleman,” Alex offered sincerely, trying to make amends. “I took your virginity. I’ll marry you. How about that?”
Sophia scoffed, her disbelief mixing with disgust.
“You want to marry me? Do you even know who I am?”
She was one of the top beauties in Vancouver, with a rising career as a young CEO.
Wealthy men were something she’d never run out of, and yet here was this poor man, trying to use this situation to bind her with marriage.
He was clearly just another parasite, hoping to latch onto a wealthy woman like her and live off her success.
“Well, I just arrived in Vancouver this afternoon, so I don’t know anyone here yet,” Alex said earnestly.
“But I can assure you, you won’t need to worry about anything for the rest of your life if you marry me.”
Sophia scoffed again, her disdain clear.
“With your old military backpack? And those scars on your body? I guess you’re some low-rank soldier, just returned from a warzone. Your one month’s salary wouldn’t even cover my expenses for a single day.
And you dare ask to marry me?!”Sophia was furious!
How shameless this man was!
“Believe me,” Alex said, his voice low and firm, “I’m not what you think. I’m more powerful than any man you’ve ever met.”

"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

"Old man, how can you marry off Sophia, our greatest beauty, to that poor man? Is your brain rotten or what?" Her anger grew. "My beautiful granddaughter can never marry a lowlife. She will marry Chris Roland! He’s wealthy and powerful, and can secure our family's future." "Chris Roland?" Abraham frowned. That hypocritical playboy?"Don’t you know Jerry Roland?" Lady Lancaster snapped. "He works for Alfred Kingston, who practically owns Vancouver. Chris is his only son. Marrying him ties our family to the Kingstons!" Sophia’s parents also looked at Alex, and a dissatisfied frown crept onto their faces. Alex wore a simple shirt typically seen on people of the lower-middle class, cheap and old shoes sold on the street, nothing about him screamed wealth. If Chris Roland was the young rich man with a company, this man was probably Chris’s cleaning service, paid with the lowest salary. Thinking their daughter would marry this loser already made their anger rise to the peak. “No w

Alex shook his head and chuckled. He knew Sophia despised him."Sophia, let me show y—" He wanted to let Sophia see the real him a bit, but she turned her back to him and walked to the parking lot. A white four-seat Porsche Panamera pulled up and stopped in front of them. A stunning young woman stepped out of the car with effortless grace, her elegant dress and sparkling jewelry enhancing her high-fashion allure. "Sophia," she hugged Sophia."Lyra, thanks for coming," Sophia replied joyfully. "I came as soon as I could when I got your text." Lyra smiled while eyeing Alex from head to toe and shook her head. Not a single item of value detected from head to toe. Apart from being a bit handsome and having a somewhat fitting body, this man was totally worthless. When Sophia texted her and told her that she was forced to marry a loser and needed a helping hand, she had thought Sophia was exaggerating. But seeing Alex in person made her realize how unlucky Sophia was. Most of So

Alex took out his smartphone and pressed the fast call number 9. “Good day, Mr. Leonhart. I am Julia, your First Royal Mastercard personal concierge. How may I assist you?” “Do you know where I am right now?” “Yes, your card has GPS. You are at Vancouver’s Noble Knight Club.” “I want to become a member.” “We are processing that now. You can use your Mastercard as the membership card,” Julia replied. The glass door suddenly opened. “Your membership has been approved. Do you need anything else, sir?” “No, thank you.” Alex put his smartphone in his pocket and walked into the club. The guard hurriedly blocked his path. “I think the system made an error. You cannot enter.” “I am a member here,” Alex explained. “Why do you think the system let me in?” The guard was confused but asked again, “Do you have a membership card? I want to check it. If you don’t have one, please leave.” Alex took out his First Royal Mastercard. The guard had never seen this kind of card before. “Sir

"You talk as if you can beat me. Who do you think you are, a grand master?" Chris said with a smirk, "I doubt you have ever played this kind of game."Chris was confident that only wealthy men could afford such expensive toys, and Alex definitely didn't look like he could."There’s a first time for everything, right?" Alex shrugged casually.Chris laughed with contempt.It looked like victory were already assured.He touched his smartwrist, and a 3D hologram of a big mansion appeared."This mansion in West Vancouver is mine. I bet on it. If you lose, you’ll divorce Sophia."Chris had bought that house with his personal savings, thinking it would be the perfect place to take Sophia to spent night together, not too far from her house.He was already imagining having two babies with her there. He was putting up his best house because he couldn’t fathom losing to a complete newbie."Deal," Alex replied with an air of calm."Then what are we waiting for? The sooner you divorce Sophia, the

Everyone had expected Alex to lose.After all, Chris was the highest-ranked player in Vancouver!How could a newbie win him? Impossible!"There must be a mistake, right?" another person muttered.As Alex exited the room, with Michelle following him, people noticed something unusual—his gaming suit.It’s the latest, most expensive gaming suit, equipped with AI assistance.A newbie could become a master by activating the AI.

Alex strode down the corridor leading to the VIP room, but he didn’t need to look over his shoulder to sense it.The tension.The ring of bodyguards fanning out behind the walls, posted at every exit and window.With a quick mental sweep, he detected their martial auras, each one bristling with skill far beyond the average rent-a-thug.So Raymond’s rolling out the red carpet, huh? he mused, lips twisting into a wry grin.No matter. He pushed the door open and stepped inside.“Raymond,” he said, skipping pleasantries, “you told me you’d secured a five-hundred-year-old Wild American Ginseng. I’m here for it. Where is it?”Raymond Wellington—dressed sharp in a tailored suit—lounged on the plush armchair like he was king of the world.“So impatient,” he teased, clapping his hands once.A bodyguard slipped in, carrying a polished wooden box.Raymond took his time setting it on the table between them, sliding the lid open slowly—almost theatrically.Inside lay a dark-yellow root, no bigger

Viper’s ragged breath filled the silence. His eyes stayed locked on Alex, hate and grudging respect mingling in his stare.“Fine, kid,” he muttered at last, swallowing his pride. “We’ll call it quits. You let me go, I let all of you walk out alive.”The punk in white gaped at him. “B-but, Big Bro—”Viper rounded on him, snapping, “Shut your mouth! I don’t need a backseat driver right now.”Alex watched him a moment longer, then slowly loosened his grip.The jagged glass came away from Viper’s throat, leaving a thin line of blood behind.The whole bar practically exhaled in relief.Even the punk in white flinched and pulled his knife away from Jack’s neck, shoving the idiot forward.Jack went flying into Sophia, who just barely kept him from hitting the floor.Florence rushed over, fussing like a mother hen that forgot she’d been insulting Alex five seconds ago.Viper rolled his shoulders, rubbing at the red streak on his neck.“You’ve got more nerve than most losers who show their fac

“Who the hell does this asshole think he is, going up against Sir Viper?” A wave of chatter rippled through the crowd:“Dude’s suicidal…”“Balls of steel, though. Nobody messes with Viper and lives.”“If it’d been me, I’d have chucked that bottle and sprinted the hell outta here, not strolled in like some badass.”Sophia stared at Alex, stunned.She hadn’t expected to see him here—much less launching beer bottles at Vancouver’s most notorious underworld boss.“Wh-what are you doing?” she whispered, half in awe, half in terror.Viper stepped forward, radiating pure menace. “And just who the hell are you, smartass? Think you can waltz in and break my men’s heads, then tell me to call it quits?”Alex merely flicked his gaze over Viper’s bloody henchmen.“My name doesn’t matter. For your own good, I’m telling you to walk away while you still can.”His tone was calm, almost bored—as if he was talking about the weather.The veins in Viper’s neck bulged.“Walk away? Did you just say ‘walk

Heads whipped around at the sudden commotion to reveal a tall man swaggering into the bar like he owned every inch of it.A ragged scar cut across his cheek, and a half-smoked cigar jutted from the corner of his mouth.He had one arm draped possessively around a voluptuous brunette, while the other hand hovered near his hip—exactly where a holstered pistol might be.The crowd in Paradiso parted like they were avoiding a contagious plague.Even Charles felt a spike of dread sink into his gut.“Big Bro, you made it!” The young man in white hurried over, relief etched on his face.“Got ourselves a little situation here. These jackasses want you—of all people—to kneel and apologize.” He practically spat the last word.Viper gave Charles a flat, indifferent stare. “So you’re the genius demanding I apologize, huh?”Charles, never one to swallow his pride, jutted his chin defiantly. “Your goons messed with one of my men. Don’t you think you owe him a little regret—and compensation?”Viper ra

“You think you scare me just ‘cause you are challenging me to a fight to the death? I might be old, but I’m not afraid to risk my life with the likes of you.”Her bold words completely clashed with the way she stumbled backward, nearly tripping over her own feet.If anyone bothered looking, they’d notice how badly her hands were shaking.Sophia, trying to defuse the tension, raised her palms.“Look, there’s no need to blow this out of proportion. Can we at least talk this through and figure out what happened before limbs start flying?”The man in white cocked an eyebrow and gestured at Jack like he was pointing at a piece of trash.“Why don’t you ask that genius what happened? He strolled in, grabbed my woman like a drooling dog, and threw punches at my men when they told him to back off.”“That’s more than enough reason to hand him a lesson. Now you show up like a pack of chihuahuas, yapping about calling more people to bust up my bar?”Sophia’s gaze swung to Jack. The idiot was stil

“Alex, what the hell’s wrong with you? So you saved the old man—good for you. That doesn’t mean you get to treat us like garbage!” Florence spat, practically shaking with rage.She glanced at Sophia, her eyes flashing with worry.If Alex dares to talk to my daughter like this, how long before he’s stepping on my entire family?“You think we’re all beneath you now just ’cause Grandpa owes you his life?”Alex answered with a dismissive snort. “At least I did something. All of you just stood around twiddling your thumbs while he was halfway to the grave. That’s on you. Maybe try having some shame next time.”Florence’s face turned an unpleasant shade of purple. “You… You ungrateful little— Don’t go thinking you’re suddenly this big shot! You’re still nobody compared to our family.”Before the shouting match could ramp up into fists flying, Abraham’s gravelly voice cut through like a razor.“Enough! Both of you, shut it. You’re making fools of yourselves. Florence, take the others and get

One of the Lancaster cronies hissed under his breath, “Hold up. Shouldn’t Dr. Owens be taking Alex’s head off? Why is he playing Whac-A-Mole with Vincent?”“You flaming halfwit! You dare use my name to inflate your puny ego? To con people who don’t know better? I’ll make sure you regret the day you learned to speak!”Dr. Owens only roared louder, launching a kick at Vincent that connected with a thud.Vincent sprawled like roadkill, blood streaming from his cracked lips.That smug grin he’d worn earlier? Now just a grotesque mask of pain and shame. Any bravado he had was beaten out of him in record time.Jonathan Owens turned, meeting Alex’s steady gaze.He could practically feel his own heart punching the inside of his ribcage. This was the man who had once saved his life, the person he’d spent years trying to find.And thanks to that useless pretender, he’d almost missed the chance to repay the biggest debt of his career—no, of his entire existence.Still shaken, Sophia ventured, “

Dr. Foster snapped his phone shut, pinning Alex with a look that could peel paint off the walls.“Well, would you look at that? Dr. Owens just landed in Vancouver, and he’s hunting down this so-called miracle pill for his research,” he sneered.“Funny enough, he’s actually waltzing through the halls of this very hospital as we speak. After that cheap shot you took at me, let’s see how you plan on dodging him. You disrespected me—which means you spat on my master’s name, too!”Charles stepped up, lips curling into a contemptuous smirk.“Alex, maybe you should just get on your knees and beg Dr. Foster to spare you. Because when his almighty master shows up, you’re done.”“Dr. Owens is a living legend, and you’re a speck of roach crap by comparison.”Vincent unleashed a harsh cackle, pointing at Alex like he was scolding a dog.“Too late now, you worthless clown. Even if you crawled on your belly and kissed my shoes, I wouldn’t give you the time of day. I’d rather watch you go down in f

Charles wore an over-the-top humble expression, all but shrugging off the family’s astonishment.The room, once filled with the quiet hum of relief, was now heavy with tense curiosity.Dr. Vincent was still reeling from the shock when he practically shouted, “Of course! It was the Miracle Pill! That’s why it worked so damn fast!”Sophia’s brow furrowed. “Miracle Pill? Are we supposed to know what that is?”Vincent’s eyes glistened with something close to fanatic awe.“They call it a miracle for a reason. It’s so rare, it practically doesn’t exist. Legend says it was crafted by some old sage who lived—wait for it—five hundred years!”His words set the Lancaster family abuzz. Some whispered in disbelief; others stared, transfixed.“And the person who got it from,” Vincent added, voice low and dramatic, “claimed she nearly sold her soul just to lay hands on one.”A collective gasp rippled through the family.A pill so powerful it could haul someone back from death’s door? It sounded like
