81. The Unexpected Choice
The moment the Duchess’s voice rang out, every head turned toward it. Meanwhile, the moment her eyes found Elias across the hall, something in her expression shifted. Adrian noticed it instantly, and his stomach dropped. He knew that look. It was the look she wore when something caught her interest deeply or she found something she liked. Adrian’s throat went dry. No… not this look. Anyone but this look. He fumed. He stepped closer to her instinctively, trying to insert himself into her line of sight. Then he quickly rushed towards her, trying to shift her attention from Elias. “Your Grace,” he said quickly as he walked, forcing a confident tone. “This man is an intruder. He has no right to be here. I was only trying to—” But the duchess didn’t even spare him a glance. She simply walked past him straight toward Elias. Adrian followed her, panic creeping into his steps. “Your Grace,” he tried again, lowering his voice, “he’s causing trouble. I can have him removed immediately—” T
82. He Is The Threat Here!
Adrian felt a knot twist in his stomach as he watched the Duchess’s gaze linger on Elias. She was looking at him like she had found something valuable, and he couldn’t let it happen. Never. In a desperate attempt to shift the tides, he stepped forward, his tone sharper than before. “Your Grace, you need to understand who he really is.” The Duchess didn’t shift her attention from Elias, but Adrian pressed on. “This man is a monster,” he said, trying to sound calm, though the frustration was creeping into his voice. “He’s fought anyone who looked at him wrong. He’s not some... charming prince, he’s—" Then his mind flashed back to all the people Elias had taken down. "He’s dangerous.” he said. The Duchess raised an eyebrow but still, she didn’t take her eyes off Elias. Adrian’s frustration surged as he aimed to tear down Elias's character. “He’s violent. A man like him doesn’t belong here. You might think he’s just a pretty face, but underneath, he’s nothing but a brute.” Each word
83. The Obsessed Royal
Elias watched as Adrian was dragged toward the door. Just as the guards were about to get off the door, Elias’s voice cut through the chaos. “Wait.” The guards stopped in their tracks. Adrian who was still on the floor, blinked in confusion. He was so sure Elias had finally won, but why would he stop them now? “Let him go,” Elias said calmly, his eyes never leaving Adrian. “You’ve made your point, but don’t kill him.” Anastasia’s lips curled ever so slightly, but her expression remained cold. “You’re asking me to release him?” she said, her voice edged with amusement. “Why? Does he mean something to you now?” Elias shook his head, his gaze never leaving Adrian. “No. He’s just a piece that doesn’t matter. But you’ve already humiliated him enough. Let him go.” Adrian couldn’t believe his ears. He had thought Elias was playing a game, but now it seemed like he was asking for his release out of nowhere, and for reasons that didn’t make sense. Was this some sort of test? Was he tryi
84. A Night Of Wild Passion
Elias had just started reconsidering his decision when his phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen. A message from an anonymous number read: You’ve messed with the Vorn family one too many times. We’ll come for you. A wave of discomfort washed over him. He couldn't hide it, even though he tried to brush it off. But Anastasia, who had been observing him closely, noticed the slight shift in his demeanor. “You’re uncomfortable,” she said behind him, “What was that?” Elias hesitated for a moment, but then deflected, changing the subject. "It's nothing. Just some unimportant people." Then he forced a smile that didn't reach his face. "You know there's no use killing those maids. They were just doing their job." He said, trying to change the topic. Anastasia, however, wasn’t easily diverted. She stepped closer, her presence almost suffocating. "You don't have to protect them, sweetheart," she murmured, her tone possessive. "You don't have to protect anyone but yourself." Before he could
85. The Den Of Wolves
Elias and Anastasia’s arrival at the dinner was met with cold stares. The mansion was lavish, as expected. opulent chandeliers hung from the ceiling, polished dining table, expensive cuisine, but it was clear that Elias and Anastasia were not welcome. As they approached the table, the family was already seated. Anastasia’s grandfather, Lord Hargrave, the patriarch of the family, sat at the head of the table, scrutinizing every move they made. Beside him was Anastasia’s aunt, Lady Morgana, a formidable woman whose cold gaze immediately locked on Anastasia. Her daughter, Lila, sat beside her, her eyes gleaming with malice, while Lila’s husband, Viktor, sat next to her. The atmosphere was suffocating as all their malicious gaze were fixed on Anathasia and Elias. They had barely gotten comfortable when her Lila leaned in with a grin that didn’t quite reach her eyes, her tone dripping with mockery. “How lovely that the Duchess is here, all alone.” She paused, glancing around. “Shame n
86. You and Your Man Whore!
As Elias casually offered the ten billion dollars, Lila and her husband exchanged a quick, irritated glance. So he wasn’t a random commoner?Lila’s mother eyed him as if she was just seeing him for the first time. The Patriarch brow furrowed in confusion. Anastasia has managed to bag a billionaire as a man whore? This It didn’t make sense. Even Anastasia was shocked at that moment. “I know this family’s wealth is unbelievable. But I am sure $10B is huge enough to prove that I am worthy enough to be Anastasia’s man.” Elias moved smoothly and wrapped his hand around Anastasia shoulder. “We are getting married in case you don’t know. I am not some random MAN..WHORE.” Elias intentionally spelt the last word out as he watched how their eyes bulged. Even for Anastasia, everything was happening so fast. Elias has taken full control and her family members were reeling.“This is outrageous!” Lila spat. Even at that, Lila and Victor weren’t going to back down easily. They were both read
87. Dinner Ended Quickly
The silence that followed the maid's announcement was absolute. It wasn't just quiet—it was a vacuum, a void where sound should have been.For a heartbeat, no one moved. No one breathed.Then the room detonated.Immediately, the temperature seemed to drop ten degrees. Anastasia felt it on her skin—that creeping cold that had nothing to do with the weather and everything to do with death approaching on quiet feet.Her breath caught in her throat like a trapped bird. Her hands, now trembling violently, gripped her grandfather's arm. The muscle beneath his expensive silk sleeve had gone slack. Weak. The strength that had once intimidated business rivals across three continents was dissolving like salt in water.His breathing. God, his breathing.Shallow. Uneven. The sound of a machine running out of fuel."Find the doctor," Anastasia said. Her voice came out strangled, desperate. "Call him. Now.”Her uncle—the one with the expensive watch and cheaper morals—was already fumbling with his
88. The Bloody Man Whore Is a Doctor?
Meanwhile, Anastasia was still there, still crying, her whole body shaking as she held her grandfather's hand. She could feel his pulse under her fingers—faint, irregular, like a drummer losing the rhythm."Please... please stop..." she sobbed, though she wasn't sure if she was talking to them or to death itself. "This is not the time for this."Her voice broke on the last word.Then—The grandfather's eyes fluttered once.Everyone froze.His chest rose. Fell.Then didn't rise again.A heavy, suffocating silence descended.Someone made a sound—half gasp, half sob. Anastasia couldn't tell who.The silence stretched. One second. Two. Three.Then, like a viper striking, Lila rose from her chair. The movement was so sudden, so violent, that her wine glass tipped over. Red liquid spread across the white tablecloth like blood.She pointed one shaking finger at Anastasia."This is YOUR fault."Her voice was pure venom."You stressed him! You brought that—that thing—into this house! You disgr
89. The Five Minute Deadline Is Up!
Elias moved through the manor's industrial kitchen like a surgeon entering an operating theater. His hands were steady. His breathing controlled.The knowledge flowing through his mind was crystalline, precise.Hawthorn berry. Motherwort. Ginkgo. Cohosh.He found the herb garden through the French doors—an elaborate arrangement of medicinal plants that Lord Hargrave's late wife had cultivated. The irony wasn't lost on him.His hands moved with practiced efficiency, selecting leaves, crushing stems, measuring proportions by weight and feel rather than instruments.3:47In the dining hall, the family waited. The silence was oppressive, broken only by the wet, labored sound of the old man's breathing.Anastasia knelt beside her grandfather, holding his hand. She whispered things no one could hear. Prayers, maybe. Apologies.Lady Morgana watched the timer like a hawk.3:15Victor leaned over to Lila, speaking low enough that only she could hear. "When he fails, we end this. Both of them.
90. This Man Whore Is a Super Detective! Arghh
Their cruel words cut through the room, piling pressure onto the silence. Out of nowhere, the grandfather coughed hard. Lila froze mid-sentence. Her husband’s mouth fell open. Anastasia gasped sharply, gripping her grandfather’s hand tighter.After a few seconds, his chest rose sharply, his fingers twitched and his eyes fluttered open. The room exploded. “He’s awake!” “How is that possible?” “That serum isn’t even—” Anastasia gasped and collapsed to her knees, sobbing in relief. Meanwhile, grandfather drew in a deep breath as color slowly returned to his face. “I feel…” he said hoarsely, blinking around the room, “…better. Much better.” He glanced around the room then his eyes finally settled on Elias, who was still kneeling beside him, with the cup in hand. He stared at him for a long moment, then he said, “You saved my life.” Across the table, Lila and her husband went rigid as their shock quickly twisted into anger. They exchanged a tight, nervous look and Elias saw it.
