Marcus leaned back in his chair, watching Victor with careful assessment. He knew the truth—the black card belonged to Alexander, not Sophia. He'd heard of Victor and his family business, knew exactly the kind of ruthless, entitled man he was dealing with. And seeing Victor's unwarranted hostility toward Alexander, Marcus made a decision.The last thing he wanted was to be caught in any problems with Alexander. Not someone of his caliber.Marcus reached for his phone, pressing the intercom button. "Security, I need you in my office immediately.""What?" Victor's head snapped up. "What are you doing?""Calling security," Marcus said flatly. "You've overstayed your welcome, Victor. I'm asking you to leave. Now.""You can't be serious!" Victor's face flushed with anger. "I'm a respected businessman! You can't just throw me out like some common—"The door opened and two security guards stepped inside, their expressions professional but firm."Gentlemen, please escort Mr. Victor out of the

Alexander understood why they were treating him this way. Being looked down upon, dismissed, and humiliated wasn't new to him. He'd experienced it countless times since his fall from grace. But Sophia's reaction was immediate and fierce."Why would you say such a thing?" Sophia demanded, stepping forward with barely contained fury. "What gives you the right to assume—""Miss, please understand," the first staff member said, maintaining his professional tone despite her anger. "Someone like him simply isn't allowed at this party. This is an exclusive event for distinguished guests only. We have standards to maintain.""Standards?" Sophia's voice rose sharply. "He's with me! He's my guest, not my servant!""With all due respect, miss," the second staff member interjected, "we can see clearly what the situation is. People of his... status... don't belong at events like this. Surely you can understand our position.""Your position is insulting and completely unacceptable!" Sophia shot bac

Alexander's heart raced as he made his way across the ballroom toward Vanessa. Finally, after all his questions and confusion, she was here. He could get the answers he desperately needed.But before he could reach her, a guard positioned at her side stepped directly into his path, one large hand pressing firmly against Alexander's chest."Stop right there," the guard commanded, his voice cold and authoritative. "Miss Vanessa doesn't accept approaches from random guests."Alexander froze, shock rippling through him. "I just need to speak with her. She knows me—""I said stop," the guard repeated, his hand pressing harder.The sharp crack of a slap echoed through the ballroom.Every conversation halted. Every head turned. The orchestra's music seemed to fade into the background as stunned silence descended over the party.Vanessa had struck the guard across the face, her expression fierce and unapologetic. "How dare you," she said, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "D
CHAPTER 13 PART 2
The next morning, Alexander stood outside the boutique Vanessa had directed him to. The storefront was elegant and clearly expensive, with mannequins in designer clothes displayed in pristine windows. The name "Lumière Couture" was written in gold lettering above the door.He approached the entrance, but before he could reach for the handle, a staff member stepped outside, blocking his path."Excuse me," the woman said, her nose wrinkling slightly as she looked Alexander up and down. "This establishment is for valued clients only. I don't think this is the right place for you."Alexander frowned. "I'm supposed to meet someone here. If you could just—""A man like you belongs on the streets, not in a boutique like this," another staff member chimed in from the doorway, his tone dripping with disdain. "Look at yourself. Your clothes are cheap, your shoes are worn. You clearly can't afford anything here.""I'm not here to shop," Alexander tried to explain. "I'm meeting—""We don't allow
CHAPTER 14 PART 1
Lila's mother was the first to speak, her voice sharp and mocking. "Well, well, well. Look who we have here. The pathetic ex-husband himself, being rejected at the door like the trash he is.""How absolutely fitting," Lila's sister added with a cruel laugh. "Alexander, what did you expect? That they'd roll out a red carpet for someone dressed like they shop at discount bins?"They both erupted into laughter, pointing at Alexander as the boutique staff smirked behind them."Look at him," her mother continued, circling Alexander like a predator. "Standing here like a lost puppy, probably hoping to beg his way inside. How the mighty have fallen. Oh wait—you were never mighty to begin with, were you?""Mother—" Lila started, but her voice was weak."What's wrong, Alexander?" her sister taunted. "Can't afford to shop anywhere decent anymore? Or are you here hoping to steal something? That would be just like you—always taking what doesn't belong to you."Alexander ignored their mockery, his
CHAPTER 14 PART 2
Lila's mind reeled. First Sophia at the auction and the party, now Vanessa at the boutique. How many women was Alexander involved with? Her mood shifted dramatically, confusion mixing with something that felt uncomfortably like jealousy."Oh my God," Lila's mother gasped, then her voice turned sharp and accusing. "I see what's happening here! Alexander, you're disgusting! You're a philanderer!""A what?" Alexander said flatly."You heard me!" her mother continued, her voice rising. "You're using these women! Playing them! You're lying to them, sleeping with them, manipulating them so they'll buy you expensive things and let you into places you don't belong!""That's exactly what he's doing," her sister agreed eagerly. "Look at him! He has no money of his own, so he's seducing wealthy women and using them for their resources. He's probably sleeping with both of them, telling each one she's special while he's really just a pathetic gold-digger!""You should be ashamed of yourself!" her
CHAPTER 15 PART 1
As Vanessa led Alexander through the boutique entrance, the guards immediately stepped aside with respectful nods. The interior was even more luxurious than the exterior suggested—gleaming marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and racks of designer clothing that cost more than most people's cars.Lila's mother watched them enter, her face turning an alarming shade of red. "Wait just a minute!" she shouted, rushing toward the entrance. "Why is he being let inside? He's not fit to be here!"The staff members exchanged uncomfortable glances as she pushed past them into the boutique."That man is a disgrace!" she continued, her voice echoing through the elegant space. "He doesn't belong in an establishment like this! Call your manager! I demand you call your manager right now!""Ma'am, please lower your voice—" one staff member began."Don't tell me what to do!" she shrieked. "I'm a valued customer and I'm telling you that man should be thrown out immediately! He's a con artist! A fraud! A
CHAPTER 15 PART 2
Vanessa stepped forward, her voice calm but carrying undeniable authority. "Laurent, I'd like to request that these two women be escorted out of the store. Their behavior is unacceptable and frankly quite tiresome."The boutique fell into stunned silence."What?!" Lila's mother shrieked. "You can't throw us out! We're legitimate customers! We have money! We belong here!""Not anymore," Laurent said crisply, gesturing to the security guards. "Ladies, please escort these two out of the premises.""This is outrageous!" her sister shouted as guards approached them. "We've done nothing wrong! We're telling the truth about that pathetic man!""You have been creating a public disturbance and harassing our guests," Laurent stated firmly. "You're no longer welcome here. Guards, please."The security guards took hold of Lila's mother and sister, who immediately began screaming protests."Take your hands off me! Do you know who I am?""This is discrimination! I'll sue this establishment!""You'r
CHAPTER 16 PART 1
Inside the boutique, Vanessa guided Alexander past racks of expensive designer clothing, her hand still resting lightly on his arm. The staff members who had mocked him earlier now kept their distance, their expressions carefully neutral."The reason I brought you here," Vanessa began, gesturing to the surrounding displays, "is because I wanted to get you new clothes. You deserve to look the part of who you truly are."Alexander shook his head firmly. "I didn't come here for clothes, Vanessa. All I want is the truth. I'm not curious about anything else. Just tell me what's happening to me. What these rings mean. Who I really am."Vanessa studied him for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Very well. Let's talk somewhere more private."She led him to a VIP consultation room at the back of the boutique—a luxurious space with plush seating and privacy screens. Once they were settled, Vanessa's expression grew serious."You can get your memory back, Alexander. But the best way to do it is thro
CHAPTER 16 PART 2
Several minutes passed in tense silence. Alexander watched Marcus work, hope and anxiety warring in his chest. If they could find this third ring, he might finally get answers about his past."Here," Marcus said finally, turning the tablet to show them. "I found a record. A billionaire collector named Vincent Zhao acquired a ring matching this exact description about five years ago. Private sale, estate auction from a European noble family.""Vincent Zhao?" Vanessa leaned forward. "Do you have current information on him?"Marcus scrolled through more data. "According to this, he's actually in the city right now. He's attending a series of high-profile events, expanding his collection. He's staying at the Grandeur Hotel for the next week.""Perfect," Vanessa said. "We can arrange to meet him.""Wait," Marcus interjected, his expression growing more serious. "Vincent Zhao isn't just any collector. He's notoriously difficult to deal with. His collection is his obsession. He doesn't sell
