"He's still a bit sore. Maybe we can help him out. He's trying to ignore his injury, and he's aggravated it. The concussion makes him dizzy. He almost fainted during 3rd hour the other day. I had to drive him home." "I don't think it's such a good idea for him to have a party. He's going to get worse." "He'll be all right. We'll make it easier on him." "I don't get the point of having parties so close together. He just had one." "Jack lives for parties, and no one else throws them around here. I mean Scott has the occasional one, and a couple other guys… but Jack is known for his parties, so he has one whenever he has the chance."

I accepted that I was different and I would rather live my truth than live in my head. "Here you go Ms Gails," he replied and I began reaching for my money only to be stopped as he said. "It's on the house," "Thank you," I replied and he nodded as I took down the shot grabbing the beer moving over to my seat by the window, which victor was currently sitting in. "Here you go," I announced placing it before him sitting down "Thank you, " he replied smiling "When are you heading back?" He asked "Today," "Ms Gails it can't possibly be today, the storm has already begun moving, the drive back would be too dangerous, " he replied and I frowned

He held me by the back of my neck and moved the drink closer towards me. I pushed him away. "I won't drink the water until you tell me the truth." He had a wild excited look in his eyes. "Cyanide." I wanted to faint, I felt my heart drop as he said that one word, the reality that if I had taken one sip of the drink, I'd be dead within a matter of minutes froze my heart. "You're insane!" I cried, knocking the glass out his hands, it fell to the floor, shattering and spilling its contents.

He awkwardly pulled his hand back and said in explanation, “Sorry, Diana. I didn’t mean to leave you locked here. But the chandelier fell on Violet. I panicked—” I coldly interrupted him, “You could have directed any other waiter to let me out.” Finnian averted my gaze. “How was I supposed to think of that at the moment?” I stared at him fixedly and laughed. Finnian was the CEO of a mall. He had always been known for being meticulous in business. I had lived with him for seven years, so I knew how careful and thorough he was. For him to make such an excuse meant he was either lying to me or had truly been frantic with worry.

When I got closer, Richard’s face softened, and he greeted me with that familiar warmth, though I could see a flicker of something else beneath the surface. “Selena,” he said, the nickname flowing as smoothly as the wine he was holding—a label that read Imperial Murex Reserve. I recognized it immediately; it was one of the most premium, expensive wines on the market. I glanced at Lucas, hoping he’d give me some clue about what was going on, but his expression remained guarded, unreadable. Richard signaled to Clarke and she approached extending a slip of paper toward me, ivory-colored with a gold crest embossed at the top—a formal invitation.

Hearing the words that came from Conner’s mouth caused Alex Rodriguez to pale even more, and he ignored Conner. “Master Harrison, forgive me. I didn’t know she was your plus one. But sir, I’m sure you can see she is a liability. This lady is especially clumsy and even poured wine on my expensive suit,” Rodriguez said quickly. He didn't even notice Harrison's gaze turning darker as he spoke. Meanwhile, Conner looked liked he had been punched in the guts. He absolutely couldn't believe his useless ex-fianceé was together with this renowned tycoon. He couldn't even speak

I knew what kind of wine it was. It was a special wine that was produced at Alpha Vincenzo’s territory. They only distributed it to the officials in their court and outsiders had to pay an arm and a leg to get it. The only time I got to taste it was when my grandfather died and Alpha Vincenzo sent it as a courtesy. I stepped out of the balcony and back into the room, trying to pick out any suspicious scent that would help me understand the situation. As I sniffed around his bed stand, I saw something shimmer in my peripheral.

“My valued guests…” Lacles looked at Andrius with a sincere and eager smile. “I, Lacles O’Conner, am deeply grateful for your visit to the Grand Ocean Hotel. I am flattered. “To celebrate your precious arrival, I want to present this precious alcohol collection of mine. I hope everyone will like it.” Lacles then put the two bottles of limited-edition crown-shaped vodka in front of Andrius and Zenith. Then, the man secretly looked at Andrius.

“That sigh didn’t sound too good.” “No, I was just thinking about how it’s been ages since I just took a breath and not worried about anything. It feels good,” he says, kissing the side of my head. I’ve always had to constantly watch my back and live as if I would die tomorrow, so I understand what he means by that. But compared to how long he’s been alive, what I’ve been through must seem like a breeze to him. He reaches for the bottle next to the tub and holds it up. “It's called Varleaunieux Invecchiato; it’s a blood-infused non-alcoholic wine and safe for you to consume,” he says before pouring us each a glass.
