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.”

"Please stop!"Felicia got her body across him on the floor and took the next boot on her hip and did not move off."If he dies, every single one of you in this room dies with him! Do you understand what he is? Do you understand whose son that is?"That was what stopped it.Not her crying. Not the blood. The word son.Because a prince is still a prince even when he cannot hold a spoon, and there is a difference between kicking one and having killed one, and five men found that difference somewhere around the fourth second of standing there breathing....One of them spat on the floor beside Alexander's head."For a loser like him," he said, "dead's better than alive. Everyone knows it. His own family knows it."Then Vincent came through the middle of them.He had his napkin still hanging off two fingers, and he put his boot into the side of Alexander's head one more time, unhurried, the way a man kicks a door that has been sticking."You have to learn to fear me," Vincent said. "Do yo

Jericho and the others stayed frightened for nine days.Then nothing happened.Then more nothing happened.And nobody can stay frightened forever of a boy hitting a book with a rock.By the end of the first month Jericho was back at the head of the long table with the silver out.The house adjusted, the way houses do.The curse became one of the facts of working there, like the draught in the east wing.You went blind. You went down to the study. You got it off your chest.You came back up able to see, and by supper you were laughing about it.Some of them found it almost convenient.And when somebody had a bad week of it — three days blind, four trips down to that rug before it took — they did what people do.They stood in the kitchen with a c

"Not now."Alexander muttered the restraint to himself, hovering just two feet behind the man's chair. A single strike would have settled it. Simple.Yet killing one solved nothing—he wanted them all. Precision required patience; he had to separate the sheep from the wolves before the slaughter. No emotional slips. No gray areas. He would strike only when the targets were indisputably marked.He lowered his arm, letting it rest against his thigh...He crossed the rug without a sound and sat where he had been sitting two hours earlier, cross-legged, primer in one hand, smooth grey stone in the other.And he began knocking the stone against the cover again. Slow. Even. Exactly the rhythm a broken seven-year-old had kept for fourteen years.Behind him, Jericho went on talking.He talked the way a man empties a bucket he has been carrying too long — about the coal accounts, about a horse he had sold and written off as dead, about a girl in the village and what it had cost him to make tha

The head butler's room smelled of wine and old smoke, and the window seat where a queen used to sit had a boot on it.Alexander stood in the dark by the wall.Jericho had been asleep for forty minutes.Alexander took the needle out of his sleeve....It was a sewing needle. He had lifted it out of the tin on the shelf in Felicia's corner of the room, the one she kept her thread in.Four hours of cultivation. That was all he had.He balanced the needle on the back of two fingers, sighted across ten feet of dark room, and put it into the base of Jericho's skull with an underhand flick.A hand's width left of the spine. One inch up. Depth of a fingernail.Jericho grunted and turned his face into the pillow.Alexander took out the second needle and put it into the meat below the left shoulder blade, at the point the Xia texts call the gate of the arm.Then he crossed the room, drew both needles out, wiped them on the blanket, and left....He got back into the servants' room without a sou

“Today. It ends today. All my misery!”Her name was Clarissa Havenworth, and she stood in the rain on the gravel of a prince’s forecourt with a rolled paper in one hand and her father’s name in her mouth.“I have said it for four years and nobody listens. I will not marry this idiot. I don’t care what was signed before either of us was born.”She turned and called over her shoulder, and her voice went soft and sweet in a way it had not been a second earlier.“Honey. Be a darling and get me his thumbprint.”…The man who came across the gravel took his time about it.Good coat. Good boots. The kind of young man who has never once been told no by anybody whose opinion he valued, and he was already smiling before he got there.He took a small knife out of his pocket and opened it with his thumbnail.Then he looked past Alexander, at the young woman kneeling in the wet beside him with both arms around his shoulders.“Get the nanny out of the way.”…Two of Clarissa’s people pulled Felicia
Chapter 762
The country did not finish processing it that day. It took about a week.One man had walked out of the Grand Convocation as the winner, and the country slowly worked out what the word winner actually meant in this case — because the wager had not been for money, and it had not been for pride.Every tower in the United State of Magic now belonged to Alexander.…It had never happened. Not once in five hundred years, not in the founding, not in any of the six wars the recording glass had settled.Seven colours. Seven traditions. Seven separate five-century institutions that had spent their entire existence refusing to sit at the same table for longer than an afternoon.All of them, now, under one name.And the name was White.…There was one other thing that came out of that afternoon, and for a lot of people it was the more interesting story.Beatrix Hargrove had walked into the betting hall before the first bout and put Regent Group, Ferrowgate, and every White Tower branch on the tab
