Alexander was so furious his hands trembled, aching to unleash the same brutality on her that he’d shown those men in the elevator the night before. But he knew he couldn’t — not with her.Did he really never like Ava before? That was hard to believe, even for him.Half an hour later, Ava’s calm voice broke through his swirling thoughts.“Mr. Vanderbilt, I made smoothie bowl with muesli, banana, and some berries. Come have some.”To Alexander, her words felt like a poisoned apple offered by an evil queen.He was still wearing last night’s white dress shirt, rumpled and stained with exhaustion, the suit jacket and polished shoes from before long since gone.Ava set down a steaming bowl on the table and smiled faintly when he walked in. “Eat while it’s warm.”He probably hadn’t eaten at all since whatever business had dragged him to that hotel, she guessed. Knowing he had chronic stomach problems, some smoothie bowl was the only thing in the house she could prepare.Alexander sat down, h

After Alexander left, Ava slumped against the back of the leather seat, completely spent. Her limbs felt weak, as though they’d been drained of every ounce of strength. The interior of the car still carried the heat of their passion, his scent clinging to the air, making her cheeks flush all over again. The subtle tremors running through her body hadn’t yet faded. She tugged at her rumpled dress, trying to compose herself before stepping out. As soon as she opened the car door, a blast of cold night air struck her, snapping her back to reality — reminding her, almost shamefully, that they had just been reckless in a car parked barely a stone’s throw from the villa. She let out a soft groan, covering her face with a hand for a moment before gathering herself and walking toward the villa entrance. A servant opened the door politely. Ava didn’t recognize the staff here very well, so she simply nodded in greeting and quietly climbed the stairs to the master bedroom. She’d broken into a

A gunman abruptly fired several shots into the ceiling, sending a deafening crack echoing through the mall. Chaos exploded like a powder keg. People screamed, their voices tangled with panic, some collapsing to the floor in sobbing fits of terror.Ava forced herself to stay calm as she scanned the scene. Dozens of armed men emerged from the shadows, shedding their street clothes

Inside the room, chaos reigned. Hugo and Alexei were struggling to break up the fight when Alexander landed a brutal kick squarely into Lucca’s chest. Lucca staggered backward, crashing down onto shattered glass. A sharp sliver sliced into his palm, leaving a long, bloody gash.Alexander was no better off. A fresh wound streaked across his neck, vivid red against his pale skin, proof of how viciously they’d come at each other. Both had fought as if they truly meant to kill. But the instant Ava stepped through the doorway, everything in Alexander froze.Her face was stricken with panic. Without sparing Alexander a glance, she hurried straight to Lucca, kneeling beside him. “Mr. Reinaldi, are you alright?”Lucca lifted his injured hand, wincing at the sight of the deep cut.Ava’s face drained of color. “That needs stitches.”Without hesitation, she reached out to help him up, then turned on Alexander with an edge of fury in her voice. “Mr. Vanderbilt, Mr. Reinaldi is a guest from afar.
