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 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.”

It never landed. Preston Tiffany shoved him back so hard he hit the next table and sent the glasses ringing."Hey! Hey! Who do you think you are? This is a Tiffany party!" "You want a fight? Pick on somebody your own size.""Stay out of this, fat boy, or you'll be sorry.""Ha! Sorry? Come on, then. Show me what you've got!"The man swung. Preston ducked it, clumsy but lucky, and drove a fist into his nose. The man staggered back. Blood ran down over his lip and onto his white collar.For one second, the ballroom was quiet.Then the coast began to clap.Preston turned round slowly with his fists up, and took it all in. It was the best thing that had ever happened to him."You picked the wrong Tiffany, mister."The man wiped his nose with the back of his hand and looked at the blood on it."Do you know who I am?""I don't care who you are! Get out, while you can still walk!"The man smiled with red teeth."You've got guts, fat boy. I'll give you that." He put his dark glasses back on. "

Patricia laughed again, and this time it went all the way round the ballroom."Kneel? To you?" She stood up from the front row, one cheek still red from the rain. "I made that perfume. Everybody on this coast knows it. I'm not kneeling to anybody.""You didn't make it," Serena said. "You stole it. From my mother's notebook. So kneel.""I won't.""Then don't."Serena picked up the folders from the podium. All of them. She held them up so the whole room could see."These are the House of Tiffany's loans. Every one. They're mine now. Tomorrow I sell them. To anyone on this coast who wants to watch the Tiffanys go under. And I think there will be a long line."The room went dead still.Pauline was on her feet. "You wouldn't dare.""Wouldn't I?" Serena looked down at the front row. At her aunt. At her cousin. At the Baroness beside the podium. "I know exactly what happened, Aunt Pauline. Patricia didn't do it alone. The whole house knew. My mother's notebooks went missing, and nobody looke

Nobody in the ballroom breathed.Natasha picked up the folders, both of them, and held them against her chest like a schoolbook."The House of Tiffany punished Miss Serena Tiffany tonight," she said. "Before the whole coast. It told us it will not have her. It told us Patricia is its head."She looked down at the Baroness on the step."So this meeting is over. Halcyon will never work with the House of Tiffany again. Not this year. Not ever." A small, cold pause. "I am sorry. But Halcyon does not get played."The Baroness's mouth opened. Nothing came out.Natasha lifted the folders a little higher, so the back of the room could see them."Tomorrow, I will sell these loans. To anyone on this coast who wants the Tiffanys and the Pryces finished." Her eyes went slowly round the tables. "I think I'll have a long line."Nobody laughed. Half the room looked down at their plates, because half the room had wanted exactly that for years."By tomorrow night," Natasha said, "I want to see them lo

Patricia took the microphone as if it had always been hers, and smiled out over the room, sweet as sugar on a knife."Thank you, Grandmother. Thank you, Ms. Vale. The House of Tiffany has made perfume on this coast for three hundred years, and I promise you, Halcyon will never regret it. And my poor cousin will make anything Halcyon asks for. Anything at all. She works for me now."She laughed lightly. "So you see, Ms. Vale, you get both of us. In one pocket."The room clapped. Not everyone.Enough.Serena sat still for three breaths. Alex heard her count them.Then she stood up and walked out between the tables, chin up, hands flat at her sides, past every face that had just heard her called a liar.Nobody stopped her. At the great doors her shoulders shook once. Then she was gone.Her napkin was still folded. She had not even touched her water.Inside the mild, empty smile, something very old woke up.A hand fell on his shoulder."Hear that, dog boy?" Julian bent down beside him, sm
Chapter 809
Two nights later the Grand's ballroom was white and gold, a hundred candles, the sea black behind the tall windows. In the middle of the floor a ship carved out of ice, Halcyon's mark, dripped slowly into a silver tray.At the Tiffany table Serena sat very straight in her best dress, her hands folded in her lap. Her name, on the contract.Patricia under it. She had said it to herself all day, the way you count steps in the dark.Alex sat beside her with three coats folded over his knees, because nobody else had wanted to hold them.The doors opened, and the room turned.Rebecca Morgan came in alone, tall and cold, dark red hair pinned back hard, a man's watch on her thin wrist. Whispers ran ahead of her across the floor. The Cruel Lady of Calder never came to anyone's party.At the high table she and Natasha Vale inclined their heads to each other. Neither said a word. Whatever the Morgans owed Halcyon, nobody in this room would hear of it.She turned to go back to the Morgan table. H
Chapter 808
Oliver Grant did not stay to watch.He put his mother into his long silver car and drove away down the hill. Aunt Ruby's face showed in the back window, small and white as a coin.It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.Ten men closed in at the foot of the steps, iron bars in their fists. The biggest of them, bald as an egg, stepped forward and set his boot on the bottom step."Mr. Grant wants your legs, magician," he said. "We take them here, or we take them on the road. Your choice."Alex stood still in the rain, his black case in his hand."Brave men," he said, "who waited until the count's guards went upstairs.""Every one of them, sitting with the old man." The bald man grinned. "Nobody's coming down. It's just you and a little bag of pins."He lifted his bar over the case."First the needles. Then the fingers that hold them."The others laughed."Look at him, boys. Shaking in his mask." The bald man leaned in close. "Two months of the best doctors in Calder, and the countes
