Chapter 1
“Ahh… mmh… ngh…” A low, breathy moan filled the room. Fingers traced over the skin of sleeping Antonio, dragging lightly across his chest and sending a jolt through his body. Antonio’s eyes flew open from his sleep. For a moment, he was disoriented. Almost immediately, he realized what was happening—Elaine was on top of him. Nothing on her. She was completely naked. What...? How....? For years, Antonio had yearned for the affection of his wife, Elaine. He endured both her coldness and the humiliation of being regarded as worthless. And now she who had refused to share a bed with him for three years, was straddling him with her body pressed against his in ways she had never permitted before. Her swollen lips parted, trembling as she moved, with her moans escaping in growing intensity. “Elaine…” His voice was hoarse and uneven. “What are you doing?” Elaine just leaned closer, trailing slow, deliberate kisses along his jaw with her hands sliding over his chest. Her bo

"You’re only saying this just because you want to provoke me, don’t you?" Elaine sneered, rolling her eyes.“Don’t act like some emotional little girl, throwing around divorce just because you’re jealous? It only makes you look pathetic.”She genuinely believed Antonio would never actually divorce her. A loser like him? Who was he without her? Nothing!Being married to her was the best thing that had ever happened to him. What more could he possibly want?So even though she called out another man’s name in bed, so what? It wasn’t a big deal. That was normal… right?But Antonio didn't react the way she expected. He didn’t even flinch.He simply threw a stack of papers on the table. Papers he had spent the whole night preparing.His expression was calm, but his eyes were dead serious.“These are the divorce papers.”Elaine searched Antonio’s face, expecting to see hesitation or fear. But there was nothing.His cold, distant eyes stared back at her, void of any warmth.Elaine frowned sli

"Yes, Charles, it has been a while." A faint, nostalgic smile played on Antonio’s lips as he looked at his old butler.His fingers brushed against the edge of the black platinum card as he drifted into deep thought.Three years ago, as the sole heir to the Morris family empire, Antonio had once been hailed as a genius. His grandfather had entrusted him with the family’s massive fortune early on, putting him through every trial to sharpen him into a true leader.But none of it mattered the day his mother died. It was sudden and unexplained. The official reports claimed it was an accident, but Antonio had never believed it.There were too many loose ends and too many details that didn’t add up. The kind of inconsistencies that only screamed one thing—someone had silenced her.So he came to Gelrith City for the truth, where he met Elaine.Elaine had been like a fire. A woman who had made him believe in a different life.For her, Antonio walked away from Vena City and everything the Morri

Antonio narrowed his eyes without meaning to.It sounded like Harry had planned this all along.He stopped in his tracks, studying the guy closely.His gaze sharpened as it landed on a faint bruise along Harry’s jawline.Antonio's frown deepened as Harry's injuries became more apparent.His swollen cheekbone, the faint bruising under his eye, and the slight wince as he shifted his stance.He halted. A smirk on his lip when he turned to Harry."Looks like someone had a tough night," Antonio remarked, tilting his head."Let me guess, debt collectors finally caught up with you?"Harry stiffened.“What are you talking about?”“I came back this time to close a deal with the Bellagio Group!”He tried to sound calm, but Antonio could see right through the act.Antonio let out a low smile, shaking his head in mock pity.“A deal with Bellagio? No way.”“You really think no one would find out you’re just a gambling addict drowning in debt?”“Are you really back for Elaine… or for her money?”“T

"Enough!" Elaine snapped. "I don’t want to hear another word out of you!"Out of Elaine’s sight, Harry’s eyes flickered with a flash of real panic, like he was genuinely worried his little scheme might get exposed.But he quickly smoothed it over, slipping right back into that fake, pitiful expression."It’s okay, Elaine," Harry said, his voice full of forced compassion."He’s probably just furious about the divorce, lashing out because he’s got nowhere else to dump all that anger.”“After all, he won’t be able to spend your money or live off you anymore.""If he wants to accuse me, let him. If he wants to hit me, fine. As long as he takes it out on me and not on you, I can deal with it!"Antonio locked his eyes on Harry.This guy was downright disgusting.“Accuse you?” He said to Harry, letting out a cold chuckle. “Hit you?”Antonio shook his head in resignation.Then, in one fluid motion, he struck. Fast, clean, and brutal.PUM—His fist slammed straight into Harry’s nose.“AHHH!”T

Just as the two burly guards began to step forward, Antonio didn’t flinch. Clearly, they had no idea who he was. If they did, they’d be bowing, not barking.He casually extended a hand, stopping the guards.Clara watched with a mocking smile, but to her surprise, the guards actually froze in place.“What the hell...?” Clara frowned slightly.What she didn’t realize was that, in that brief moment, a powerful aura had erupted from the man, so overwhelming that the guards didn’t dare to disobey.Calmly, Antonio turned to Clara again.“You’d better contact your general manager right away,” Antonio said. “If I’m the one who ends up calling her, it might be too late. And that won’t be good for you.”Clara arched a brow and a faint smirk tugged at her lips. The audacity! A man dressed like that, still insisting on seeing her boss? She didn’t know who he was, but she was sure of one thing. He couldn’t be much different from the drifters she passed on her way to work."Hilarious! Who do you

The moment Clara saw Cynthia, she sprang to her feet and bowed respectfully. Cynthia rarely made unannounced appearances, especially not to lower-level staff like herself and the security team.If she had something to communicate, she usually did so through her assistant. However, Clara couldn’t have asked for a better timing. The CEO’s arrival was perfect! She would handle Antonio in the most fitting way!Wasting no time, Clara gestured toward Antonio as if exposing a criminal. “Miss Cynthia! This man refuses to leave the premises and has been making threatening statements. I was just about to have him thrown out.”Jack and the other security guards straightened up, nodding in agreement. They were confident Cynthia would issue an even stricter order against Antonio without hesitation.Cynthia’s piercing eyes flickered over Clara before settling on Antonio.Then, to everyone’s shock, her expression softened with warmth as she smiled,“Mr. Antonio, I sincerely apologize for the in

Within seconds, Cynthia strutted out holding a stunning outfit draped over her arm. “I had this tailored just for you,” she said, beaming like she’d just won an award. Antonio eyed the outfit. The tux was sharp. Jet-black with subtle gold embroidery, paired with a crisp white shirt and polished black dress shoes. “Tonight, you’re coming with me to the Bellagio Group’s charity gala,” Antonio raised an eyebrow, smiling. “You know these events aren’t really my scene.” And he wasn’t wrong. This wasn’t just any party. It was THE party. The Bellagio Group’s events were where the city’s elite gathered. Getting an invite was like being handed a golden ticket. Antonio didn’t care for the spotlight. Especially not the blinding kind that came with a red carpet and paparazzi. “Come on,” Cynthia pleaded, eyes wide. “Just be my plus one, pretty please?” Antonio sighed. Cynthia was like a little sister to him. He could never say no when she turned on the charm. Against his better judgmen
Chapter 9
Elaine’s lips parted and her chest rose with a shallow breath. She clenched her fists slightly. Antonio had been a loser, nobody clinging to her for support!She thought he would be groveling after the divorce, devastated and broken.Yet here he was…Dressed in a tailored tux, calm as ice, with the most unattainable woman in the city on his arm.How’s that possible?!How dare he?! Rage flooded Elaine’s veins. She couldn’t stand being replaced so fast.Made her feel like the lesser woman in front of Antonio.“Antonio!”Elaine called as she stormed across the room, heels clacking like war drums, and came to a halt in front of them."Antonio!" Antonio stopped, but he didn’t turn or flinch and his expression remained unreadable.“What the hell are you doing here?!"Elaine’s eyes flicked to Cynthia, then back to Antonio.“How the hell did you convince Miss Cynthia to show up here with a nobody like you?”She sneered, arms crossed. “Is this some kind of pathetic stunt? What? Did you real

For a heartbeat, there was silence as heads turned in the direction of the voice.Then, there was sudden laughter.It erupted from the surrounding guests with their voices blending in a chorus of amusement and mockery.It rolled through the crowd like a wave.Someone near the front nearly doubled over."Isn't that Antonio, Elaine's ex-husband?"“Did he just say that?”“He must be out of his mind!” another scoffed.“He’s really standing here, in that same cheap suit, telling Harry Gibson he’s not getting the partnership? Delusional doesn’t even cover it!”"Well, would you blame the guy? After all, he's now Miss Cynthia's boytoy. I guess that's where he's getting his confidence from."Harry let out a loud bark of laughter.“Antonio, my man, you need to stop reading fairy tales.” “You? The person behind Bellagio Group? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year.”Antonio stood motionless, eyes calm, expression unreadable. Amid the crowd’s jeering, he radiated an unsettling stillness
