Alexei stiffened, his expression shifting multiple times as he tried to mask his unease. Finally, gritting his teeth, he scoffed, "Do you think I'd believe that? Marriage certificates like this can be replicated for ten dollars a bundle on any street corner."

His tone was laced with skepticism, and his mind raced back to Alexander's cold, detached demeanor toward Ava. How could a man treat his wife like a stranger? It didn’t align with the image of a genuine marriage.

Unfazed, Ava leaned back slightly in her chair, her calm composure unwavering. "Believe what you want, Mr. Volkov," she said, her voice smooth and deliberate. "Alexander and I have an understanding. We’ve agreed to remain strangers in public until the day our divorce is finalized. But you've gone too far this time, leveraging Volkov Co. Inc.'s influence and connections to target me. If this continues, I’ll have no choice but to involve Mr. Vanderbilt Senior."

She casually reached for her phone, her fingers hovering over

    Compared to Alexei's romantic and ostentatious private room, Alexander's had a completely different ambiance. The atmosphere here was sober and businesslike, reflecting his meticulous taste. Reserved for Vanderbilt family use year-round, the room was decorated in a sleek, minimalist style—clean lines, muted tones, and understated luxury that spoke volumes of Alexander’s personality. The Vanderbilt name was synonymous with power, and their empire extended far and wide, with many of New York’s iconic buildings falling under their ownership.Alexander sat at the table, his expression unreadable as he glanced out the window. The faint glow of the fireworks reflected in his sharp, dark eyes. His frown deepened as he wondered why women found such displays appealing. He found them... frivolous.Hugo broke the silence, leaning casually on the back of his chair as he patted Colton on the shoulder. "Colton, you wouldn’t believe it, but Ava is smitten with Alexander. Remember the casino? She thr

    Ava’s brow furrowed as doubt clouded her mind. How had Valentina known she would be at Maison Marseille tonight? And hadn’t Valentina been unwell? Why had she been discharged from the hospital so quickly?Outside the towering building, Valentina leaned against a sleek Lamborghini worth five million dollars—one that her father, Alfonso, had bought for her. The sports car gleamed under the city lights, a statement of wealth and indulgence. Alfonso had repeatedly told Valentina not to drive alone and had even offered to assign her a driver. But Valentina often ignored his advice, opting to discreetly track a man she was infatuated with, as though her persistence would one day earn his attention.Despite her lavish surroundings, Valentina anxiously tapped her manicured nails on the steering wheel, her eyes darting to the glass facade of Maison Marseille. Growing impatient, she redialed Ava.Inside the elevator, Ava rubbed her forehead in frustration as she answered the call. "The elevator

    Ava maintained her polite composure, her lips forming a faint smile as she nodded. “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”Inside the second elevator, Alexei seemed eager to lift her spirits. His voice carried a hint of accomplishment as he said, “My collaboration with Mr. Thompson has been canceled. He’ll highly likely come looking for you now.”But Ava’s expression remained neutral. Regardless of whether Mr. Thompson sought her out, she had already decided to sever ties with him. Years of collaboration meant nothing if trust was absent. His decision to not only avoid her but also deceive her in order to hitch a ride with Volkov Co. Inc. spoke volumes about his character.“Well,” she replied evenly, “I won’t work with Mr. Thompson anymore either. I’ll simply find another company.”The elevator dinged softly as it arrived on the ground floor. Ava, preoccupied with getting to the hospital, didn’t linger. She nodded politely at everyone in the elevator, her movements brisk and purposefu

    When Serena arrived at the hospital, the emergency room doors remained firmly shut. The air was thick with tension, as doctors and nurses moved swiftly through the bustling hallway. The fluorescent lights overhead cast a stark glow over the scene, adding to the sterile atmosphere.Araminta was nowhere in sight, and Josh and Valentina were also absent. Serena sat in the corridor, her hands clasped tightly on her lap. The only sound accompanying her was the relentless ticking of the wall clock. Time seemed to stretch endlessly, and each second pressed heavily against her chest.The cold from the hospital floor seeped into her legs, leaving them stiff and numb. She didn’t know how long she had waited until a gentle pat on her shoulder snapped her back to reality."You’re a family member of the patient, right?" A nurse stood beside her, looking concerned.Serena blinked, realizing that daylight had already flooded through the hospital windows. Her stomach rumbled in protest, reminding her

    Serena was already drenched, rendering the umbrella Alexander had given her practically useless. But turning down his kindness a second time would have seemed ungrateful, so she accepted it out of courtesy.If she were honest with herself, she had half a mind to boldly ask for fifty bucks for a taxi ride—anything to avoid stepping into Alexander’s car. However, she bit her tongue, knowing it would only further reveal her reluctance to be around him. Instead, she decided to walk back to the Morales estate.The distance wasn’t impossible—about half an hour on foot—but wearing high heels on uneven pavement made it far less convenient. Each step was a minor ordeal, with her shoes squelching from the rain.From his car, Alexander caught glimpses of her through the rearview mirror, her figure illuminated briefly by passing streetlights. Her drenched silhouette pressed on despite the conditions, lips pursed tightly in determination. His brows furrowed imperceptibly as he watched her stride in

    Ava hesitated before typing out a message: Mr. Vanderbilt, sorry, I broke the umbrella.Feeling a bit unlucky tonight, she impulsively added a pitiful emoji for good measure.Alexander, who seldom engaged in casual conversations, found the message peculiar. Most of his communication was reserved for business calls and the occasional curt chat with associates. Seeing Ava—typically poised and composed—send such an unexpected emoji piqued his curiosity. A subtle but unfamiliar sensation flickered in his chest, though he quickly brushed it aside.Ava didn’t expect any response from him and decided to take a shower. The hot water cascaded down, washing away the chill that had clung to her all night. By the time she returned, dressed in cozy loungewear, she noticed a new notification on her phone: the $700 had been refunded. Alexander hadn’t added any accompanying message.She frowned. Was this his way of saying he didn't want her to pay? Although Ava knew Alexander wasn’t lacking money, the

    The next morning, Serena was woken by the persistent vibration of her phone. Half-asleep, she groaned before squinting at the screen. Alfonso’s name blinked on it. She swiped to answer."Serena, have you sorted out your gown for tonight’s banquet?"His voice, though weakened, carried its usual commanding tone. Serena rubbed her temples, struggling to shake off the sleep."Not yet, Dad. I was planning to go shopping later today.""No need," Alfonso cut her off. "I've already had a gown delivered to Le Châteauesque Manor. It’s elegant and tasteful—you'll wear that."Serena sighed but held back a complaint. Alfonso had always been particular about her appearance, especially at events involving New York’s elite. With the banquet hosted at the Vanderbilt estate and the patriarch present, this was a rare opportunity for her to step into the social circles that truly mattered."Serena," Alfonso continued after a fit of coughing, "my health won’t allow me to attend tonight.

    Jonathan, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror, catching sight of Alexander immersed in a virtual meeting on his tablet. A moment of hesitation flickered across his face as he debated whether to interrupt.Through the corner of his eye, Alexander thought he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the window. For a moment, he wondered if his mind was playing tricks on him. Just as he was about to look again, the car had already driven past.Jonathan cleared his throat. "Sir, that was Miss Serena," he said carefully. "She seemed to be walking her dog."Alexander’s brows furrowed slightly, but he didn’t respond immediately. He turned his attention back to the tablet screen, though a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. What was she doing out there with a dog?When they arrived at Le Châteauesque Manor, Alexander stepped out of the car, his polished black shoes clicking against the driveway.Aunt Torres, who was sweeping near the entrance, was startled at the sight of him.

    Meanwhile, Alexander had just touched down on foreign soil. The sleek wheels of the private jet had barely cooled before he was ushered into a waiting car—Victoria trailing a few steps behind.The sun was beginning to dip below the skyline, casting a golden hue over the glass buildings around them. But the warmth of the city didn’t seem to reach Victoria’s mood.The auction had been a disappointment.Those who had flown in from all over the world had come chasing one thing—a rumored masterpiece by the elusive Master Remington. The buzz had been relentless, the anticipation feverish. Collectors, curators, and connoisseurs all gathered under one roof, poised to outbid one another for a chance at owning a piece of immortality.But the pièce de résistance had never arrived.Instead, the organizers had presented a different set of paintings—fine works, certainly, but none carrying the master’s signature. Whispers swirled through the crowd: the Remington piece had already been given away. P

    Ava had just stepped out of the shower, the steam still curling around her from the bathroom. Wrapped in soft pajamas and with her damp hair towel-dried and tousled, she was about to unwind for the evening when a message lit up her phone.It was from the property management office:“Dear resident, we’ve prepared a small gift for you. Please collect it in the underground garage.”It wasn’t unusual in this kind of upscale community. Services like this—holiday gifts, complimentary deliveries—were standard perks. She assumed it was another seasonal gesture and didn’t think much of it.She threw on a light cardigan over her pajamas and slipped into house slippers. There was no need to dress up just to walk through her own building. The community was secure, and the garage private—no one would bat an eye.The garage, however, was packed.Dimly lit rows of polished luxury vehicles stretched in every direction. She stepped carefully between them, the click of her slippers echoing softly. As s

    Alexander sat at his sleek glass desk, a shaft of afternoon light slanting across the surface. His fingers moved with precision as he reviewed the final pages of a thick document. With a quiet finality, he pushed the folder forward.Jonathan, ever efficient, stepped forward to take it, bowing his head slightly in acknowledgment. As he turned to leave, the door opened and another figure appeared.Victoria.She stopped short, clearly startled to find Alexander at the office today—especially considering he had been at the hotel earlier. And it was Saturday.Recovering quickly, she walked in with her usual grace, her heels tapping softly against the polished floor."Alexander," she began, her tone casual but calculated, "news just came in from Spain. Master Remington’s painting is officially going up for auction. Everyone’s flying in for it this week—even Colton’s confirmed his attendance. When are you planning to leave?"She studied his face as she spoke, carefully watching for a flicker

    Ava shot upright in bed, her heart thudding as her eyes scanned the breaking news headlines on her phone.Ryan Kuzmin Detained in International Crime Probe—PW Group Offices Raided.Details unfolded line by line like a script in a legal thriller. Ryan had been arrested on suspicion of overseas criminal activity. That morning, the authorities had swept through PW Group’s towering headquarters, raiding offices and seizing documents. The scandal was larger than anyone had anticipated.Further investigations revealed damning evidence: years of tax evasion, vast embezzlement schemes, and a tightly knit circle of executives siphoning company funds for personal gain.The outcome was swift—and brutal.PW Group had been slammed with devastating penalties. Their bank accounts frozen. Assets forcibly liquidated. Half their senior executives were already behind bars.And Ryan? He now faced the terrifying possibility of a twenty-year prison sentence.All of it—undeniably—was Alexander’s doing.With

    Ava was completely drained. Every inch of her body ached as if she’d been taken apart and reassembled—twice.Alexander Vanderbilt, she thought bitterly, was not someone an ordinary woman could keep up with.She was still lying in bed, limbs heavy and muscles sore, when her phone lit up. The name Rachel flashed on the screen.Ava groaned internally but forced herself upright and answered the call."Ava! I brought something up for you—I’m downstairs and on my way up!" Rachel's cheerful voice burst through the speaker.Snapping out of her haze, Ava quickly sprang to her feet and checked her reflection in the bedroom mirror. She smoothed her dress, adjusted her hair, and ensured nothing about her appearance betrayed her disheveled morning. With a small breath of relief, she stepped back just as the doorbell rang.She hurried over and pulled open the door.Rachel stood there glowing in high-waisted designer jeans and a black camisole with delicate lace sleeves hugging her arms. Her outfit

    Alexander rose from his chair and made his way toward the bedroom.The room was a blend of understated elegance and quiet opulence—decorated with muted colors, gilded moldings, and a custom-made European-style bed that looked as though it belonged in a palace. A long row of mahogany cabinets lined one wall, their polished surfaces gleaming under the soft light.An air of subtle luxury hung over everything, understated yet unmistakable.Alexander opened one of the cabinet doors. The scent of expensive wood polish and crisp linen filled the space. Neatly arranged inside were rows of impeccably pressed suits—his armor for the world outside.But tucked beneath them, nearly hidden among the shadows, sat a beautiful woman.Ava.She was curled up against the side of the closet, her knees drawn tightly to her chest, wrapped in nothing but his oversized white shirt. Her bare feet were tucked under her, her shoes hastily kicked somewhere under the bed in her rush to hide.For a long moment, nei

    Alexander leaned in, brushing his lips against Ava’s earlobe—a whisper of a kiss, soft and lingering like a lover’s secret murmur.Ava stiffened slightly, unaccustomed to this kind of closeness.In truth, she had never been this intimately connected with anyone before. The sensation of his warm breath against her sensitive skin felt almost foreign, startling.Despite her naturally cool and reserved demeanor, her body betrayed her easily. A soft pink hue blossomed across her cheeks, spreading down her neck, making her look even more delicate under the sunlight.Without daring to meet his gaze, Ava slipped away, heading toward the bathroom, still dressed in his oversized white shirt.Alexander watched her go, his dark eyes trailing her graceful movements. He never would have imagined that his stiff, formal shirt could look so sinfully beautiful draped over a woman’s body.She was the very picture of effortless allure—elegant, yet undeniably tempting.Inside the bathroom, Ava quickly spo

    Ava rushed out of the hospital, her heels clicking against the pavement as she hurried to her car. Once inside, she started the engine with shaking fingers and glanced at her phone. Her heart dropped. The roads were packed—an evening traffic jam clogging the city like a pulse grinding to a halt.Her fingers clenched the steering wheel, frustration bubbling up. She honked the horn more times than she could count, each one sharper than the last. A twenty-minute drive had now turned into a maddening forty-minute crawl.Alexander had given her exactly one hour.With every passing minute, her heart beat faster, the pressure building like a kettle about to boil over.And then—bang.Her car lurched forward. She’d been rear-ended. The sudden jolt slammed her head into the steering wheel, sending a flash of pain through her skull. Her eyes stung with tears, but she blinked them away, biting down on her panic. The driver behind her got out, waving his arms and pulling out his phone to call the

    Alexander couldn't focus, his thoughts scattered and restless. As his phone rang with a call from a business partner, he seized the moment and stood up.“Grandpa, the business partner is calling. I need to go over the details of this morning’s meeting,” he said, already moving away.Grandpa let out a long, weary sigh. To him, it looked like Alexander was just eager to escape. “If you put that much effort into Serena,” he grumbled, “you two would have had a house full of kids by now. Go on, but no matter how busy work gets, don’t forget the wife waiting for you at home.”Alexander didn’t answer. He slipped into his car and glanced at the dashboard clock—8:00 PM. Ignoring the call still ringing on his screen, he turned the key and headed straight to the hotel.By the time he arrived, it was 8:30.His phone buzzed again. It was Jonathan, this time with more urgent news—Ryan had been arrested, and sensitive information about PW Group had been leaked. By morning, the media would be ablaze w
