"Don't I?" Ethan's smile was vicious. "I know exactly what you are, Alexander. You're a nobody trying desperately to be somebody. You latch onto successful women, drain them dry, and move on to the next mark. Well, you're not getting anywhere near Lila again."

Alexander turned his attention back to Lila, speaking over Ethan as if he weren't there. "I need to talk to you about the rings."

Lila's breath caught. The rings. The mysterious rings that had caused so much chaos. She'd almost forgotten about them in the aftermath of the crash and the hospital stay.

"The rings?" Ethan's eyebrows rose. "What rings?"

"Nothing," Lila said quickly. "It's nothing important."

"Then there's no need for this conversation," Ethan said firmly. "Security will show you out, Alexander. Or would you prefer to leave on your own?"

Alexander took a step forward, and Ethan immediately recoiled backward as if Alexander had threatened him. "Keep away from me!" Ethan said loudly, his nose wrinkling in disgust. "God

    "But you thought it!" Ethan pointed at Alexander accusingly. "That's why you looked at him! You think Alexander stole your ring!""I don't know what I think," Lila said, but her voice was uncertain.Alexander couldn't believe what he was hearing. After he'd saved her life. After he'd warned her about the danger. After everything."You're serious," he said quietly. "You actually think I stole from you.""Well, you were very interested in rings earlier," Lila said defensively. "All that talk about not admitting to knowing anything about rings. And you did have access to my apartment during our marriage. You could have taken it before we divorced—""I didn't take your damn ring, Lila.""Then why were you so adamant about me not talking about rings?" she shot back. "What aren't you telling us, Alexander?"Ethan's expression had transformed from angry to calculating. "She has a point. You did storm in here earlier ranting about rings and danger and telling Lila to keep quiet. That's suspic

    Alexander stared at the television screen, his mind racing. Why would someone publicly announce a search for the ring? It made no sense. If the hooded figure wanted the rings, broadcasting their existence to the entire world was the last thing he'd do.Unless...Unless it was a trap.The realization hit Alexander like ice water. This wasn't about finding the ring—it was about finding him. Drawing him out into the open where the hooded figure could strike."Gallant Inc.," Ethan breathed, his eyes still glued to the screen. His entire demeanor had changed, his confrontation with Alexander temporarily forgotten. "Do you know what this means?"Lila moved closer to the television, her expression awed. "I've heard of them. They're the second largest conglomerate in the country. Getting even a small contract with them would be...""Life-changing," Ethan finished. "More than life-changing. It would catapult any company into the upper echelon of the business world." He turned to Lila, his eyes

    It was a ring. Not just any ring—one of the five rings. The image showed intricate patterns carved into dark metal, symbols that seemed to shimmer even in the photograph."This ancient ring, believed to be over a thousand years old, is valued at an estimated fifty million dollars," the anchor continued. "But its historical and cultural significance is considered priceless. The ring is part of a collection known as the Five Dragons, legendary artifacts from an ancient civilization."Alexander's hand instinctively went to his pocket where his two rings rested. Fifty million dollars? That couldn't be right. The rings were valuable, yes, but that number seemed—"In an unprecedented move," the anchor went on, "Gallant Incorporated, one of the largest conglomerates in the world, has announced a unique opportunity. Anyone who can retrieve this ring and deliver it to their headquarters will be offered an executive position within the company, along with a substantial finder's fee."The room h

    Ethan didn't move from Alexander's path. Instead, he planted his feet wider, crossing his arms over his chest like a stubborn child refusing to leave a toy store."You don't understand the full scope of what's happening here," Ethan said, his voice dropping to a dangerous tone. "You think walking away from this deal makes you powerful? It makes you stupid. When I'm done with you, Alexander, you'll be begging me to reconsider this partnership.""Move, Ethan." Alexander's voice was flat, devoid of emotion."Or what?" Ethan leaned in closer. "You'll hit me? Go ahead. Give me a reason to sue you and Vanessa into the ground. My lawyers would love that.""All of this could have been avoided," Alexander said quietly, "if you'd just been polite from the start."Ethan's laugh was harsh and bitter. "Polite? To you?" He shook his head in disbelief. "Let me explain something to you, Alexander, since you clearly don't understand how the world works. I have no reason to be polite to a bottom feeder

    "You're warning me?" Ethan stepped closer, invading Alexander's space with the confidence of a man who'd never faced real consequences. "You're warning me? Let me tell you something, Alexander. My family has been in business for four generations. We have connections in every major city, in every major industry. We can make one phone call and destroy whatever pathetic career Vanessa has built for you.""Then make the call," Alexander said flatly. "I'm still not signing.""You arrogant little—" Ethan's face flushed red. "Do you have any idea who you're talking to? I'm Ethan Zhang! My family owns half this city! We could buy and sell you a thousand times over!""And yet here you are, begging me to sign a contract."The observation hung in the air like a challenge. Ethan's mouth opened and closed, his face cycling through several shades of purple."I am not begging!" he finally sputtered. "I'm doing you a favor by even considering working with someone of your... limited background!""Some

    For a moment after Alexander's declaration, the conference room was filled with stunned silence. Ethan and Lila stared at him as if he'd just announced he was flying to the moon. Then Ethan threw his head back and laughed—a harsh, mocking sound that echoed off the expensive wood paneling."Oh, that's rich! That's absolutely rich!" Ethan slapped the conference table, his laughter growing louder. "The deal is off? Did you hear that, Lila? The puppet thinks he can pull the strings!""Ethan—" Lila started, but he waved her off."No, no, this is hilarious!" Ethan stood up, still chuckling. "Alexander, sit down. Stop playing pretend and sign the damn contract like a good little errand boy."Alexander didn't move. His hand was on his briefcase, his body already turned toward the door. "I said the deal is off. This meeting is over.""The meeting is over when I say it's over!" Ethan's laughter died, replaced by cold anger. "You seem to have forgotten your place here. You're not in charge. Vane
