While Alexander was engaged in his violent confrontation with Vanderbilt's security team, another presence lurked in the shadows of the Gentleman's Club.

The hooded figure who had murdered Anna Morrison was conducting his own dark business in a private room on the club's upper floors, far from the human trafficking auction that occupied most members' attention.

The figure sat motionless in the dimly lit chamber, his face hidden beneath the deep cowl of his cloak.

Around his finger, the third ring pulsed with a cold, malevolent energy that seemed to drink in the darkness itself.

Suddenly, the ring grew warm against his skin.

The sensation was subtle at first, but it quickly intensified until the metal seemed to burn with otherworldly fire.

The figure's head snapped up with predatory alertness as he realized what this meant.

Someone else with one of the rings was in the building. Close. Very close.

The hooded figure rose from his chair with fluid grace, his movements carrying that same

    Somehow, impossibly, he understood her perfectly. She'd said: Don't come closer!"Katarina, put the knife down," Alexander said slowly, raising his hands to show he meant no harm."Ya ne znaju, shto ty!" Her voice cracked with fear and tears streamed down her face. "Ty monster! Ty ubyvaesh' ludey kak nichevo!"I don't know what you are! You're a monster! You kill people like it's nothing!Alexander's mind reeled. He understood every word. More than that, when he opened his mouth to respond, the same foreign language poured out fluently, as naturally as breathing."Ya ne monster," he said gently, keeping his hands raised. "Ya spas tebya. Pomnish'? V klube? Ya kupil tebya, chtoby otpustit'."I'm not a monster. I saved you. Remember? At the club? I bought you to set you free.Katarina's eyes widened in shock. "Ty... ty govorish' na moyom yazyke?"You... you speak my language?"Apparently so," Alexander replied, still speaking her tongue without conscious thought. "Though I have no idea h

    Alexander was still processing what had just happened—how his body had moved with lethal precision, how five grown men now lay groaning at his feet—when he heard slow, mocking applause echoing from the mouth of the alley."Well, well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a real tough guy here."A sixth man emerged from the shadows, and Alexander immediately recognized him as the leader.He was taller than the others, with a lean, wiry build that spoke of street fighting experience.His arms were covered in prison tattoos, and a nasty scar ran from his left eye down to his jaw.In his right hand, he casually flipped a switchblade, the metal catching the dim light as it spun.Behind Alexander, Katarina let out a small gasp of fear."Ricky," one of the groaning thugs on the ground mumbled. "He came outta nowhere—""Shut up, you useless piece of trash," Ricky sneered, not taking his eyes off Alexander. He continued his slow advance, the switchblade dancing between his fingers with practiced

    His hands moved to his shirt, tearing off strips of fabric. He wadded some up and pressed them against the wound, applying pressure.With his other hand, he fumbled with a lighter he'd found in the glove compartment.This was the worst part. The part that would scar her, but would save her life.He heated the blade of a small knife from the first aid kit until it glowed faintly red, then pressed it against the wound.The smell of burning flesh made bile rise in his throat, but he didn't stop. Cauterization was brutal, medieval—but effective. The bleeding slowed, then stopped.Lila had mercifully passed out again from the pain.Alexander sat back on his heels, his hands shaking now that the immediate crisis was over. He'd just performed field medicine that he had no conscious memory of learning. His body had known exactly what to do, his hands steady and sure even as his mind reeled.Who was he? What kind of life had he lived that this came so naturally?He pushed the questions aside.

    The world came back to Alexander in fragments—the acrid smell of gasoline, the metallic taste of blood in his mouth, and the disorienting sensation of being suspended upside down.His seatbelt dug into his chest and shoulder, holding him in place as consciousness slowly returned.His ears were ringing, a high-pitched whine that made it hard to think.Blinking away the fog, he realized the Mercedes had gone off the road entirely.Through the shattered windshield, he could see they'd crashed at the bottom of a steep embankment, the car crumpled and smoking in what looked like an abandoned lot littered with trash and debris."Lila?" His voice came out hoarse. "Katarina?"No response.Alexander fumbled with the seatbelt release, his fingers clumsy and uncooperative.When it finally clicked free, he dropped onto the car's ceiling—which was now the floor—with a painful thud that knocked the wind from his lungs.He lay there for a moment, taking inventory of his body.Everything hurt, but no

    Lila barely had time to register what was happening before Alexander's hand clamped around her wrist, pulling her forcefully away from the elevator lobby. The exotic woman stumbled along beside him, her eyes wide with terror."Alexander, let go of me!" Lila yanked against his grip, but his hold was firm—not painful, but absolutely unyielding. "What do you think you're doing?""Move. Now." His voice had changed completely. Gone was the hesitant, apologetic tone she'd grown accustomed to during their marriage. This was a command, sharp and brooking no argument."I will not be manhandled—""Lila, shut up and move!" Alexander snapped, his eyes scanning the lobby with an intensity that made her breath catch. "Anna's killer is here. In this building. Right now."The words hit her like ice water. She stopped resisting, letting him guide them toward the stairwell leading to the underground garage. The exotic woman kept pace, her high heels clicking frantically against the marble floor."This i

    CHAPTER LIAlexander stood frozen in the lobby of Pinnacle Tower, his heart sinking as he realized there was no way to avoid the confrontation that was about to unfold. Lila's eyes were blazing with anger and disgust as she took in the scene before her – her ex-husband emerging from an elevator with a beautiful, scantily-clad woman clinging to his arm."Well, well, well," Lila said with venomous sarcasm. "What kind of pathetic debacle are you up to now, Alexander?""Lila, this isn't what it looks like," Alexander said quickly, trying to keep his voice calm and reasonable."Isn't it?" Lila's voice rose with indignation. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're parading around one of the city's most prestigious buildings with what's obviously an escort!"The young woman beside Alexander didn't understand English well enough to follow the conversation, but she could sense the hostility radiating from Lila and pressed closer to Alexander for protection."You have absolutely n
