"Forward!" barked the Paris security captain, gesturing sharply.At his signal, fifty elite soldiers surged forward, weapons raised and ready.They had stormed over the moment they heard trouble erupting in the governor's mansion, prepared for anything.Just as they approached the grand doors, they swung open with a haunting creak."No need to lurk around out there," called a cold, detached voice from within."Come on in."Inside, Alex sat calmly in a high-backed chair, his eyes glinting dangerously.Governor Norman Guise shouted frantically, "Kill him! Shoot him now!"Instantly, the elite soldiers stormed in, surrounding Alex and leveling their rifles straight at him.Alex glanced around casually, unfazed. "I wonder, are any of you ever doing dirty work for this corrupt governor?"Some of the elite soldiers, almost without thinking, shot quick, nervous glances at their comrades—the ones rumored to be doing the governor’s dirty work.It was a fleeting, instinctive reaction, nothing de

“Sophia!” Alex burst into the room, his voice sharp with panic.“What the hell happened to you?”“Don’t come any closer!” she screamed, terror in her voice.“If Gilbert finds out you’re here—he’ll kill you!”Alex didn’t stop. He crossed the room in seconds, eyes burning, fury barely held in check.He swept her into his arms, holding her like something precious and broken, and carried her to the bed.“Put me down! Get out, Alex!” she sobbed, fighting against him with what little strength she had left.Her body shook with pain—real, raw pain—and her cries hit him like knives.Each tear was a trigger, every tremble fueled the fire inside him.“You’re hurt, Sophia. Let me help you.”“Don’t be kind to me,” she whispered through tears. “Just go. Please. You cannot be here.”But he wasn’t going anywhere.Alex’s eyes scanned her bruised arms, the swollen mess of her face, the blood trickling from a wound on her head.Rage and helplessness warred in his chest.Without a word, he pulled out his

After a long, passionate night, Alex held Sophia close, her delicate fragrance intoxicating him.The warmth of her body nestled perfectly against his chest, stirring something deep within him.He gently kissed her forehead, and Sophia responded by pressing even closer, her breathing slow and peaceful.“Alex,” Sophia whispered softly, her voice thick with happiness and exhaustion.“You’re everything to me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love you.”With those words, she drifted off into a tranquil sleep, completely unaware of the turmoil stirring inside him.Alex stared silently at Sophia’s serene face, his mind racing with thoughts and emotions.Without noticing, morning quietly crept into the room.Rising slowly from the bed, Alex stood over Sophia, captivated by her fragile beauty as she slept.His heart twisted painfully, and a bitter poem slipped softly from his lips."Meeting is hard, parting even harder — If we never met, there would be no yearning.If we never knew each other

When people started chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Alex felt his pulse quicken.He stared into Sophia's beautiful eyes, captivated by the soft glow on her flawless face.He loved this woman with every fiber of his being, deeper than he’d ever loved anyone before.But tonight, she was drunk, vulnerable, and worse—she was supposed to marry someone else in a matter of days.As much as his heart begged him to kiss her right there, Alex knew he had to do the right thing."No," Alex whispered gently, fighting against his own desire.Instead, he swept Sophia into his arms, lifting her gracefully in a princess carry.Her delicate frame rested comfortably against his chest, sending warmth through his body."I'm taking you back," he said firmly, trying to ignore how good it felt to hold her so close.Sophia struggled slightly, beating softly against his chest."Let me down, Alex! If you don’t love me, don't touch me!"Alex tightened his hold, ignoring her protests."I'm not letting you go," he s
Chapter 352
Sophia opened her mouth, but the words froze in her throat.She had tried countless times to confess everything, but each time she failed.She knew Alex was strong, but what good was strength when your enemy could bring two men with guns to finish the job?Life wasn't fair—it never was.It wasn't a fair fight in some arena where you squared off one-on-one.Gilbert had hundreds of killers at his disposal, waiting for his signal.The most painful part was knowing Alex's heart. Once he learned the truth, he wouldn't hesitate to put himself in danger for her.He would foolishly become Gilbert’s enemy, rushing headlong toward death.And it would all be her fault.All Sophia wanted was for Alex to live a peaceful life.If she had to bear his hatred, become his enemy, and carry that torment to her grave, she would accept it gladly.Yet, Sophia wondered bitterly, would Alex miss her after she was gone?Would he ever realize the terrible truth behind her sacrifice?No—he would probably just ha
Chapter 351
Four hours earlier, Sophia received an unexpected call from Gilbert, demanding she accompany him to watch a fight at the Paris Arena.Sophia despised fights.She never had interest in violent sports and didn't even know the arena existed until Gilbert summoned her.“I'm sorry, Gilbert, but that's not my kind of entertainment,” Sophia declined.Gilbert leaned close, eyes narrowed threateningly.“Do you prefer something bad happening to your mother or little brother instead?”Within an hour, she was aboard Gilbert's private jet, speeding from Vancouver to Paris.When they arrived, Gilbert escorted her into an exclusive room filled with Parisian elites, proudly introducing her as his fiancée and boasting about their upcoming wedding.Sophia felt nauseous at the announcement, especially as the elites swarmed around her, complimenting her looks and gushing about how fortunate she was to marry a man like Gilbert.It was obvious—they were trying to win her favor solely because of Gilbert’s i
