Despite the finalized divorce, Dominico’s opposition to Victor marrying Naomi remained the same. In his eyes, she was nothing more than a walking scandal, a stain he would never allow to spread across the Ravencroft name. Naomi, however, convinced herself that she still had a card to play. With a palm pressed against the slight curve of her belly, she approached the Ravencroft mansion as though carrying the future heir would grant her an audience.

She imagined Dominico’s stern mask cracking and perhaps even conceding for the sake of the child but that fantasy shattered at the gates where the towering iron doors remained closed, as if their intricate designs are almost mocking her. Then two guards stepped forward, blocking her path with the silent efficiency of men who had been given clear orders.

“I’m here to see Grandf-, I mean, Mr. Ravencroft,” she insisted with her voice rising.

One guard’s lip twitched, not quite a smile but more like the shadow of pity. “You’re not on the list, ma

    Alisa’s back arched hard, her nails clawing at the sheets. “W-wait, shit, hngh! Shit, you’re too fast!” Her voice cracked but Leo only snarled and drove into her harder that each thrust was wet and obscene as it filled the room with the slap of flesh on flesh.“Fast?” His breath hit her ear, hot and ragged. “I’m not even fucking close to done with you.”Her body quivered under him and her legs was trembling as the friction sent shockwaves through her core. Slick clung to his cock, dripping down between her thighs making every thrust wetter and filthier. Then Leo grabbed her hips tighter while groaning as her pussy clenched desperately around him.“Fuck—you’re choking me,” he growled while pulling out almost all the way before slamming back in until her cry split the air. “You love this. You love me using you like this.”Alisa’s tears smeared across her temples but her moans betrayed her, breathless and broken. “N-no—ah! I can’t—”“Of course, you can. Besides, you started this,” he cut

    Without a second thought, Leo’s fist connected with Victor’s jaw in a brutal, unrestrained blow that echoed like a warning. The sharp crack of bone and flesh silenced the air for a moment that made Victor stumbled back and his lip splitting but instead of collapsing, he gave a low, bitter laugh while blood was trailing at the corner of his mouth.“You really don’t change, Leo,” Victor sneered while wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Quick to throw punches when you can’t admit you’ve already lost. Tell me…” his eyes flicked toward Alisa, “are you afraid she’ll choose me over you?”That statement made Leo’s chest heaved with fury clawing at his ribs. “Don’t say her name.” His voice was low and rough like gravel grinding against steel. He tightened his grip on Alisa’s wrist, pulling her closer as though the mere distance between her and Victor was unbearable.Victor’s smirk deepened, despite the bruise already swelling across his jaw. “Why not? She was mine once. Maybe she stil

    Naomi moved with the ease of someone born for the spotlight with every step measured and every gesture deliberate. She carried herself like a queen presiding over her court with a flawless smile that’s never faltering as she accepted compliments, laughed at jokes and tilted her glass just so, catching the chandelier’s light.Her laughter rang out a touch too brightly with her gestures painted too extravagantly, yet no one dared to question the authenticity of her performance.To the guests, she was dazzling.But beneath that glow was a sharper message.Naomi exuded a subtle arrogance and a silent proclamation that this night—and everyone’s attention belonged to her alone. Then her eyes slid past Alisa only once, lingering briefly with the faintest curl of her lips and the kind of smile that could be mistaken for warmth by those who didn’t know her.In truth, it was a smile sharpened like glass, one that said I don’t care that you’re here, you don’t even matter.The fact that Alisa, he

    Despite Dominico’s stern disapproval, Celeste pressed forward with her plans and was determined to host yet another private gathering for Naomi’s wedding preparations. This time, she chose one of the city’s most extravagant hotels with ballroom draped in velvet and glittering under countless crystal chandeliers.Gold candle holder lined the tables while musicians played a soft waltz in the background.Every detail inside screamed with wealth, power and status—Celeste’s way of reminding society of Naomi’s rising prestige.Clarisse swept in early, bedecked in pearls and silk with smile as practiced as the tilt of her chin. She relished the attention though whispers followed her as well. As for Adam—her husband and the father of both Naomi and Alisa had not bothered to attend.Though his absence was a shadow, one that Clarisse pretended who did not exist.As guests came in, the air grew thick with perfume, chatter and the tinkling of champagne glasses. While Naomi glided about in her pas

    Dominico sat stiffly across from Celeste, Clarisse and Adam, his face hard and unchanging. The long dining table between them shone under the chandelier but the brightness did nothing to ease the tension in the room.Adam sat still and silent with his calm posture showing no reaction while Clarisse leaned forward with tone insistent as if trying to defend her daughter with every word.For most of the meeting, Dominico listened without interrupting.Then Celeste spoke about the benefits of Victor and Naomi’s union while Clarisse stressed that the marriage would bring stability. They talked about alliances, reputation and mutual gain, treating the matter like a transaction rather than acknowledging the betrayal at its center.With every word, Dominico’s expression grew tighter while his silence carrying visible disapproval.At last, he spoke.His voice was low and cold but it cut through the room like a blade. “Do not mistake my silence for agreement. The divorce was finalized without

    A few days had passed since Victor left the estate he once shared with Naomi and still, he hadn’t returned. Instead, he lingered outside, desperate to find a way to reach Alisa but Leo’s men were always nearby watching her like hawks and Victor couldn’t get close.Meanwhile, Leo himself was buried in another pursuit as an investigation that’s tied to his father’s death.“Fuck! Are you slacking off?” Leo snarled while leaning back in his chair inside the headquarters while five men stood before him with their heads bowed low in shame.“I’m sorry, sir,” one stammered. “I’ll make sure to capture him next time.”Leo leaned forward, grinding his cigarette into the ashtray before placing his fingers together and resting his chin on them. His gaze was cold, cutting through the trembling men.“Next time? This is the third fucking time that I’ve given you a chance and you dare speak of ‘next time’?”The leader swallowed hard with his head lowering even further. Beside Leo’s chair stood Johnson
