Sophie suppressed her prepared commentary, offering a constrained acknowledgment instead. Her delivery manifested rigidity, particularly observing Victoria’s proximity. She’d presumed Victoria merely accompanied him temporarily for this gathering.Had someone proposed this represented her estranged spouse’s romantic companion, she’d have dismissed it as fabrication. Yet confronting this reality proved unavoidable.Despite matrimonial dissolution, Sophie experienced unexpected discomfort witnessing Marcus with alternative feminine companionship. A subtle envious sensation infiltrated her consciousness. She dimly recalled his profound emotional attentiveness and his dedicated nurturing. Theodore demonstrated no equivalent temporal investment.“Marcus, do you maintain acquaintance with this individual?” Victoria inquired, her ocular examination traversing Sophie’s entire physiognomy as though conducting assessment. Her intonation carried subtle mockery, suggesting preexisting familiarity

Incredible!” Marcus couldn’t suppress his astonishment.Victoria’s proposal shocked him profoundly. Upon closer examination, he recognized her aesthetic distinction compared to Sophie, markedly different.She possessed a more delicate frame, with pronounced chest and hip definition, cascading straight locks, and complexion suggesting extraordinary smoothness. Her skin radiated a luminous quality, indicative of premium dermatological treatment. She emanated an irresistible magnetism capable of captivating masculine attention effortlessly.“What’s causing your bewilderment?” Victoria laughed boisterously, her chest rising rhythmically with amusement as she observed Marcus’s reaction. Her presence emitted an enchanting fragrance that momentarily compromised his concentration.Marcus struggled maintaining visual discipline, finding resistance increasingly impossible. Prolonged observation intensified his discomfort, an inexplicable gravitational pull toward her.“We should postpone this,”

Witnessing Marcus neutralize over eight muscular, substantially larger adversaries proved genuinely astonishing. The bald operative experienced overwhelming dread. His entire existence had proceeded without defeat, and he’d never envisioned someone of Marcus’s stature could overpower his entire unit so effortlessly.Desperation consumed him regarding Marcus’s genuine identity and capabilities.“Fascinating,” Victoria murmured softly.Her expression brightened with intrigue, and a subtle grin materialized across her features. She discreetly repositioned the firearm concealed within her accessories. Initially, she’d anticipated Marcus would experience difficulty confronting such formidable opposition. Yet he’d dispatched them with remarkable ease, demonstrating superior proficiency compared to her elite-trained protective detail.“Such an impressive, attractive man,” she contemplated internally, exercising restraint from vocalization. She simultaneously recalled her matrimonial pledge c

Marcus entered the mayor’s quarters to find him already prepared for departure alongside his daughter.Victoria approached him. “Why did you take so long?”“Apologies!” Mayor Hart’s authoritative voice resonated throughout the space. “She mentioned you were accompanying her.”“I encountered someone, my brother detained me extensively.”“He’s present?” Aldric’s interest piqued. “I’d enjoy meeting, ”“Negative, Father,” Victoria interrupted swiftly. “He’s problematic. He despises my companion intensely.”Both Mayor Hart and Marcus registered shock at her phrasing. Victoria’s complexion flushed crimson. “Remarkable!” Mayor Hart observed, examining them both intently. “My daughter, who’s historically disregarded romantic possibilities, appears to be developing affection.”“I’ll provide privacy for your discussion. Return together afterward.” He departed hastily, granting them solitude.Marcus remained motionless. Stunned. Speechless.Once her father exited, Victoria leaned near him, her v

“By seeking medical intervention?” The physician’s amusement was evident, prompting Alan to elaborate further.“I need you to fabricate the severity. Document on the medical record that the assault caused critical damage and I sustained extensive facial trauma. It’s transactional. State your compensation.”Marcus smiled beneath his concealment, his expression invisible.“Truly?” His delivery remained casual and relaxed.Alan and his two companions were already animated with excitement. “Elena confirmed Dr. Mitchell is accommodating and flexible. If we’d encountered a rigid practitioner,” Ivy told her mother.Elena was her closest confidante. She’d worked alongside Dr. Mitchell previously at Westbrook. Marcus recognized this and suppressed another internal smile.“This operates through absolute discretion,” Alan continued expansively. “Once I obtain your documentation, I’ll initiate litigation, assault with intent to murder, guaranteeing incarceration.”“Naturally, certainly,” Ivy rein

Marcus applied precise, controlled taps against Mayor Hart’s chest, once on the right side near the cardiac region, then mirroring the motion on the left. He repeated the sequence methodically before transitioning into a deliberate, measured compression technique.The medical team observed in bewilderment, particularly the veteran physicians, exchanging confused murmurs amongst themselves.“What nonsense is occurring here? Someone remove this incompetent individual immediately, he’s only worsening the situation!” one senior doctor bellowed, advancing toward the bedside to forcibly extract Marcus.Victoria instantaneously positioned herself as a barrier, her body shielding Marcus. Her expression hardened into something formidable and dangerous.“Approach him again and I will make you regret it,” she said with absolute conviction.The physician recoiled instantly. If someone as notoriously gentle as Victoria could deliver such a threat, the severity of the circumstance became unmistakab
