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.”

Alex's hand crossed the counter.The slap wasn't hard. That was the frightening part — the economy of it, one crisp crack of palm against cheek and then Alex's hand was simply back at his side, relaxed, as if it had never moved.The loupe clattered to the floor. Somewhere in the back room, something stopped rustling and listened.The broker touched his own face like he was checking it was still attached. Then his shock caught fire."You dare — you dare hit me?" He shot up from his chair, knocking it over, and his voice cracked into a roar. "Guards! Guards, throw this man out!"The back room emptied.Five of them came through the curtain — big men, the kind bought by the pound, shoulders filling the doorway one after another. Iron bars in their fists. Faces arranged to make ordinary people apologize for existing. They spread across the shop floor with the lazy confidence of men who had done this before and never once lost.Alex exhaled through his nose. Almost a sigh.Then he moved.If

Feby leaned in until her shoulder nearly touched his. Her voice came out thinner than she wanted it to."Do I sign this?"Alex didn't look at the paper. He looked at her, and something in the steadiness of it made her breath catch — like he'd already read the whole document and half her life besides."Which one gets you there faster?" he asked quietly. "Reaching magician level three, or landing a manager's position at the Regent Group?"She almost laughed. Level three. As if the words alone didn't sting.She'd spent years pressing her palm to testing stones that stayed dark, years watching other students light them up like sunrise while hers gave back nothing but her own reflection.Talent wasn't something you could bribe, borrow, or earn. You either had it or you spent your whole life pretending the ache of not having it didn't exist."The manager position," she said. "Of course."Alex tilted his head closer, and his whisper dropped so low it was almost just breath. "Then here's a th

Alex looked at Grandmother Marta."You're right," he said. "I'm not going to tell you who I am. That's not relevant to this meeting." He leaned forward slightly."What's relevant is that the trust instrument says Feby gets her money. You've been withholding it for fourteen months past the legal trigger date. In that time, the estate has continued to generate returns which have been administered by the co-administrator structure — which means by your family. Every month of delay is a month of returns that should have been accessible to Feby and weren't." He paused."I'm not a lawyer. But I've read the documents, and from where I'm sitting, this looks less like prudent management and more like four years of spending someone else's money and finding reasons not to give it back."The silence was absolute.Leon broke it first, and the friendliness in his voice had thinned considerably. "That's an extraordinary accusation.""It's not an accusation," Alex said. "It's a description of what th

The Rydell family home was the kind of place that had been designed to make visitors feel small.Three stories of pale stone, iron-latticed windows, a gate that required a mana-key to open — the kind of gate that announced, before anyone inside had spoken a word, that the people within considered themselves a different category of person than whoever was standing outside it.Alex stood outside it with Feby and noted all of this without comment.She had told him on the tram ride over. Her father — Edmund Steinmeyer, dead four years now — had left behind a fortune so substantial that the precise number had never been discussed in polite company.What had been discussed, extensively and behind closed doors, was the question of what happened to it.Edmund had died without a will that satisfied everyone.His money had passed into a family trust administered jointly — which in practice meant administered by the Rydell side, her mother's family, who had been living off the interest since the

She had a bruise on her jaw and she was pointing at him like she owned him."That one," she said again, apparently for the benefit of the knight who had stepped sideways to block her, because she was already moving around him.Alex watched her cross the room. She moved the way people moved when they were frightened and had decided to be angry about it instead — purposeful, slightly too fast, her eyes fixed on him with the concentrated intensity of someone who had made a decision on the walk over and was not going to reconsider it now.She stopped in front of his chair.He looked up at her.She looked down at him.Neither of them said anything for a moment."You're the one from the alley," she said. It wasn't a question."I didn't see your face," Alex said."I saw yours and your naked body." She pulled the chair beside him out and sat, uninvited, angling her body so that her back was to the knight named Dax. A small tactical choice. Alex noted it. "You're in trouble.""Moderate trouble

The wormhole tasted like lightning and old copper.Alex felt it before he understood it — that electric wrongness on his tongue, the metallic pull at the back of his throat, as the old man carried him through the tear in space.Ragnar was there too, limp and silent, the old man bearing both of them through the fold in reality as though he'd done it a thousand times.Alex had no idea where they were taking him. He knew only one thing with terrible certainty: he would not survive the journey's end.Whatever mercy had kept him breathing until now would end the moment they stepped through the other side.Move.His nascent soul power surged from that buried place, and Alex threw every fragment of it against his own chains.His muscles screamed.His vision strobed white.And then — the
