"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 to get my money," Sophia retorted.
"But I warn you, that’s never going to happen. If my family finds out I slept with a poor man like you, you’ll be erased from this world. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened here."
"I…"
"I don’t want to hear another word from you. Now, get out of this room," she demanded, her eyes blazing with fury.
"But…"
Alex tried to protest.
This was his room.
“NOW!”
Yet, seeing the fury in Sophia’s wide eyes, he chose not to argue.
He quietly put on his clothes, grabbed his old military backpack, and looked at Sophia one last time.
"I…"
"Get out!" Sophia’s yelled at the top of her lung.
"Alright."
In the elevator, Alex sighed, running a hand through his hair.
He knew the woman was under the influence of a cruel aphrodisiac, one that would end her life if she didn’t have sex with a man within the hour.
If there were any other way to save her, he would have done it already.
But that kind of sinister poison had no antidote.
"What the hell have I done? I came here to meet my fiancée, but before even meeting her, I’ve already slept with another woman. Maybe this is what they call a legendary bachelor party."
As Alex walked out from the elevator into the lobby, it was around five in the morning.
The hotel was quiet, with only a few people scattered around.
Yet, as he crossed the lobby, a group of men in black—about forty of them—suddenly appeared, forming two lines and bowing deeply as he passed.
He glanced at them with little interest, his expression one of boredom as if this was something he was long tired of.
A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group, kneeling before him in a knight-like stance.
"I am Alfred Kingston, at your service, Young Master," the man declared with reverence.
Alex looked down at him. "Alfred, do you know why I’m here in such simple clothes?"
"Young Master,
please enlighten me," Alfred responded, his head still bowed."I’m here incognito," Alex explained. "And all this unnecessary fuss—are you trying to blow my cover so everyone knows who I truly am?"
"I apologize for my short-sightedness," Alfred quickly stood, turning to the men behind him.
With a swift gesture, he signaled for them to disperse, and the line of men quickly melted away, leaving the lobby empty once more.
"Tell me what you’re here for," Alex said as he walked toward a nearby sofa.
Alfred followed closely behind, like a faithful servant.
"Yes, Young Master," Alfred responded promptly.
He reached into his coat and pulled out a small box.
Opening it, he revealed a black card with gold trim and a .235-carat diamond embedded in the center.
"This is the World First Royale Mastercard. With unlimited credit, just use it as you see fit."
Alfred humbly handed it to Alex.
"This card also comes with a dedicated 24/7 concierge service that is highly personalized for you alone.”
“You’ll have access to a team that can fulfill almost any request, whether it’s securing last-minute reservations at the finest restaurants, arranging private jet travel, or gaining entry to exclusive events.”
“It connects you to the most secretive circles—no one will ever say no to you."
Alex looked at the card without any interest.
Alfred continued.
"I also arranged for the newest Sport car Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a one-of-a-kind model equipped with the latest artificial intelligence technology and self-driving capabilities.”
“But since you are here incognito, I guess you won’t like it, — so here is a villa in case you need to have a long stay."
Alfred explained with caution.
Alex nodded.
"Good to see you understood. I’ll keep the card for emergencies, but you can hold onto all the other gifts you’ve prepared."
“Now, tell me what you want.”

“You lying bitch!” Gilbert roared, his face twisted with rage as his hand lashed out, striking Sophia so hard that she crashed onto the floor, her body crumpling painfully.“How dare you stand here and talk about loving another man! Are you trying to die?” he spat viciously, his eyes blazing with fury.Alex couldn't hold himself back any longer.Anger surged through his veins, propelling him forward until he stood inches from Gilbert's smug, sneering face.“What?” Gilbert taunted, his lips curling arrogantly. “I slapped my fiancée. What the hell can an outsider like you do about it?”“Plenty,” Alex snarled, delivering a brutal slap across Gilbert’s jaw.The crack echoed sharply in the room, and Gilbert tumbled onto the floor, spitting out three bloodied teeth.Sophia watched, horror flooding her heart.

Alex raced to the penthouse, his heart hammering wildly in his chest after tracking Sophia's phone.The fear that she might be in danger fueled his desperation.Without a second thought, he slammed his foot against the door, splintering it open with a thunderous crash.But what he saw inside nearly shattered him.Sophia was on her knees, kneeling before a smug, naked Gilbert, her face facing Gilbert’s manhood.“What the hell is going on here?” Alex’s eyes were filled with confusion, the sight shaking him to his core.Gilbert casually pulled up his underwear, wearing a twisted, arrogant smile. "Ah, it’s you again. Did you come to enjoy the view of me and my fiancée?""Fiancée?" Alex's voice trembled with disbelief. He turned his gaze toward Sophia, eyes begging for an explanation."Sophia, what the hell is this?"Sophia’s head jerked up, panic flooding her eyes. She shook her head frantically, her voice barely above a whisper.“Alex, please, it’s not what it looks like—”Gilbert chuckl

Gilbert laughed cruelly, his eyes flashing dangerously, and without hesitation, he slapped Sophia across the face."You filthy little bitch, don't ever look at me like that again!"Unsatisfied with just a slap, Gilbert swiftly kicked Sophia in the stomach, driving the air from her lungs.Sophia doubled over, choking, nausea overwhelming her.But Gilbert wasn't done; he yanked her by her long, beautiful hair, forcing her to face him."Listen carefully," Gilbert hissed through clenched teeth, his face inches from hers."I enjoy a woman playing hard to get, but there’s a limit. Push me too far, and I'll destroy everyone you love."A twisted smile crossed his lips."Refuse me again, and your entire family will rot in jail, one by one. I'll start with your brother and won't stop until I've ruined anyone who's ever known you."Sophia stared back at him, eyes wide in horror, her head throbbing with pain and tears streaming down her face.The shocking truth of Gilbert's monstrous nature was l

Gilbert coughed, clearing his throat, his voice firm and dignified.“Mrs. Florence, I don’t want people spreading nasty rumors about me. You know I'm a gentleman—I’ve got a reputation and dignity to uphold.”“Taking advantage of situations like this just isn't my style.”Florence gave a slow, reassuring nod. “You’re right, of course. I trust you completely—that’s why I know you'll take good care of her.”Gilbert shifted slightly, his eyes darting to Sophia.“Then perhaps you could take Sophia to the penthouse first? I'll stop by later to check on her—if you think that’s appropriate.”“Of course, Mr. Guise,” Florence replied warmly.“You truly are a man of honor.” She gently helped Sophia to her feet, and together with the waitress, guided her toward the door.As they assisted Sophia out, Gilbert's eyes followed every graceful movement of her figure, desire burning like wildfire within him.A smirk played across his lips, dark anticipation stirring inside him as his arousal grew.“Let’

“Mother,” Sophia pleaded desperately. “Please don’t make me do this.”But Florence stayed on her knees, gripping Sophia’s hands tightly.“Sophia, for God’s sake, I’m your mother!

One day, you’ll thank me for this.”Sophia's eyes filled with tears, blurring the world around her.The happiness she’d longed for was finally within reach—so close she could almost touch it—yet fate snatched it away like a cruel joke.Why did it have to be this hard? Why did love with Alex feel like a battle she was always destined to lose?Hadn’t she already paid the price in tears and silence? How much more did she have to bleed just to be happy?“Sophia, I will stay here on my knees until you agree,” Florence declared stubbornly.Jack also followed his mother and start kneeling.“Sister, are you really going to abandon your own family? Do you have no heart left to save us?”“We’re not asking you to die—we’re asking you to marry Gilbert Guise. He’s
