The night was wrapped in a deep, tired silence, a quiet that told Alex it was finally time to close up the Clinic and catch some rest.

He leaned back, feeling the weight of the day press on his shoulders, ready to lock up and call it a night.

Suddenly, the front door crashed open, shattering the silence.

Jasmine stumbled in, eyes wide with panic, her hair was tangled and disheveled, and her breaths came in sharp, desperate gasps.

At the reception desk, Josephine shot upright, her chair screeching against the floor.

"Miss Kingston—what are you—?” Josephine began, startled.

But Jasmine ignored her, eyes locking instantly onto Alex.

“Alex!” she shouted, surging forward, throwing herself into his arms. “I can't go anywhere else—I won't! Only you can help me. Please!”

Behind her, Alfred Kingston burst through the door, his tie loosened, his face pale and slick with sweat. He took in the scene quickly, his breathing ragged.

"Alex, I'm sorry for this. They couldn't stop her. She escaped from

    Alex Saint-Claire stared at Baron Rainer with a cold, hollow expression.“When the Saint-Claire’s family was ambushed that night,” Alex said quietly, “the nobles came at us like wolves. They tore through everyone. My entire family died… except my father. Everything we owned was stolen, taken by whoever arrived fastest in the chaos.”“But the law is clear. No matter who looted what, every business tied to the Saint-Claire line still belongs to the Saint-Claire blood. If the family has no heir, only then can the name change—and even that takes a hundred years.”Alex stepped closer, “So yes, Baron Rainer—you’ve been allowed to use it. But that ends today.”“I, Alexander Saint-Claire, rightful heir, reclaim this property now. The Royal Prussia Fine Jewels belongs to the Marquis Saint-Claire. It always has.”A sudden pulse of blue light flickered from Alex’s bracelet. A three-dimensional document unfolded in midair, and the same holographic file materialized in front of Baron Rainer. The

    Two android guards glided toward Alex.“Sir, you are requested to leave the store,” one said in its calm synthetic voice.Alex turned slowly. “And what exactly is my mistake? I asked to check the ring before buying it. Is it wrong to make sure what I’m buying is real?”The android paused, processing his words. Its eyes blinked once in rapid sequence. “Apologies, sir. There has been an error on our side. Please continue with your purchase.”The guards stepped back to their post.Alex glanced at Dorothea and smiled faintly. “Well, seems like even your guards agree with me.”Dorothea’s face flushed red with anger. “Guards! Drag this man out of my store!”The androids turned again, but one of them hesitated.“Supervisor Dorothea,” it said, “after reviewing the interaction, I find this man to be a polite and respectable customer. Please allow him to examine the ring. I believe this kind and handsome gentleman intends to make a purchase.”Dorothea’s voice cracked with fury. “You stupid mach

    At dawn, Sofina rose before the sun and dressed in a rush. Today was her first official day as deputy.Her nerves buzzed like fire in her chest as she wanted to go meet the village leaders and the merchants under Baroness Wolfsbane’s command.The Wolfsbanes might not be wealthy, but they owned a small mining town—one that didn’t cover much land, yet its veins ran deep with rare ore, valuable enough to keep the Baroness’s domain alive.If Eden’s group agreed to buy directly from them, the price of their ore would soar. It could change everything—new tools, new homes, better lives.Sofina prayed she could make it happen.Meanwhile, as Alex buttoned his worn jacket, he looked at Sofina with a crooked grin.“Dear,” he said softly, “since we got married, I’ve never given you any jewelry.”Sofina froze, eyes wide in surprise. “You don’t need to give me anything,” she said, smiling faintly. “Having you beside me already makes my life wonderful.”Alex chuckled, brushing a bit of dust off his

    “I chose…” Baroness Wolfsbane faltered, then drew a hard, rattling breath.Her mind spun, laying out outcomes like cards on a table. She counted them, then made her call.“Listen to me, you bastard—Rosenheim!” she snapped, the name cracking across the room like a rifle shot.“You ought to know,” she said, eyes aflame, “when I was young there was only one Saint-Claire—Marquis Saint-Claire. No Rosenheim. Only a poor servant with the name Rosenheim.” Her words struck the air like a war drum.“My granddaughter Sofina is married to Alexander Saint-Claire. He is the rightful heir of the Marquis Saint-Claire. You—Rosenheim, ungrateful servant and thief—how dare you lift a hand and make me your enemy? Do you think I fear you? You are nothing but a thief.”Silence fell. Even Alex’s breath caught. As he watched the woman who had hated him to the bone turn, in an instant, into his fiercest ally.Katarina’s face went hard. Fury stole color into her cheek.“Want to die, old woman? You reek of eart

    Beatrix’s cheek burned where the slap landed, but she kept her head down.This wasn’t the place to explode. Not in front of the Baroness Wolfsbane. Not when her monthly payment still came from her.Outwardly, she forced a look of remorse; inside, fury boiled like acid. For now, she swallowed her pride.Baroness Wolfsbane turned toward Sofina Scheinwald, desperation in her voice.“Sofina Scheinwald, please—I beg you. You’re the deputy of the Wolfsbane family now. Explain this to Miss Von Adler. If you don’t, we’re finished!”Sofina’s eyes shifted to Beatrix. Her voice was calm, cold.“I remember what I said, Beatrix. If you want me to reopen the deal with the Eden Group, you’ll kneel. If not, then forget it.”Beatrix’s jaw tightened. It was one thing to endure the Baroness’s scoldingBut Sofina—the woman she hated most—daring to demand her to kneel?Never. She would rather watch the Wolfsbane legacy burn to ashes.“Who the hell do you think you are!” Beatrix roared.But before she coul

    Annabella’s eyes blazed. “Who the hell do you think you are—talking like that to a Baroness?” she shouted.Countess Marlena didn’t reply. She just flicked her gaze toward one of her men. The executive understood instantly.He stepped forward, towering over Annabella, raised his hand, and struck her across the face with brutal force.The crack echoed. Annabella hit the marble floor hard, blood spraying from her mouth, two of her teeth skittering away like pearls.“And who the hell are you,” the man growled, “to scream in front of a Countess? Learn your place.”Alex turned his eyes toward Baroness Wolfsbane. His tone dripped with venom. “If you’re not going to kneel, then get out of our way.”He grabbed Sofina’s hand and pulled her past the Baroness. As they walked away, he leaned close and whispered, “Enjoy watching Wolfsbane burn.”The Baroness—always so regal, always towering above others—suddenly broke. She seized Countess Marlena’s hand, desperation flooding her voice.“Please,” sh
