Prime Hospital, Los Angeles.

Charles Kingston pushed through the glass doors with the kind of stride that said the world still bent for him.

Behind him, his girlfriend limped pitifully, her face twisted with pain—yet all she carried was a single scratch on her arm.

A long line snaked past the reception desk.

Charles didn't join it. He cut in front of the nearest man without a second thought.

“Hey,” the man protested. Charles kept walking.

At the desk Charles leaned in, voice sharp as a knife. “Nurse. Get me the best doctor you have. Now.”

The receptionist, a young woman—already irritated from seeing them cut the line—glanced once at the woman clinging desperately to Charles.

Her arm bore nothing more than a shallow scratch, blood already dried into thin red lines. Yet the woman sobbed like her life was slipping away.

Even a five-year-old wouldn’t cry this hard over something so small, the nurse thought. But the woman pressed harder into Charles, wailing:

“Darling, what’s happening to

    “Eve, I literally just gave you to Miss Sofina, and you’re already turning against me?” Alex sighed, exasperated but half amused.Eve’s holographic eyes glowed with firm conviction.“Not betrayal, Master Alex. My loyalty and my life now belong to Miss Sofina. My duty is to protect her from any danger—including you.”Sofina burst into laughter, hugging the floating robot tight. “I really love this one,” she said between laughs.Alex smiled faintly and turned toward the door. “I’m glad you do. You’ve had a long day—get some rest.”“Well, Alex,” Sofina said suddenly, her eyes glinting with mischief. “I’m already your wife, so I’m surrendering everything to you. You can do whatever you want with me.”Alex froze mid-step, eyes widening in disbelief.Before he could respond, Eve darted between them, hovering protectively with both metallic arms spread wide.“No, Miss Sofina! You can’t give a man that kind of freedom,” she warned, her voice sharp and urgent.“Master Alex may look kind, but h

    Sofina took a deep breath, thinking it through before finally sighing. “Fine. I’ll call my father in ten minutes.”She ended the transmission and stepped out of the bathroom.Alex was waiting in the living room. “I’ll show you to your room,” he said as he stood.They walked down the hallway until they reached a wide, elegant room bathed in warm light. As they stepped inside, a small robot glided toward them—egg-shaped, about eighty centimeters tall and forty-five wide.Its metallic shell shimmered under the soft glow, reflecting their faces like ripples on polished steel.“Good evening, Miss Sofina. I am Eve, your maid robot.” The holographic eyes blinked, and it extended a hand in a graceful gesture. “I’m here to assist you with anything you need. Please don’t hesitate to call me.”Sofina stared, intrigued. “This model… I’ve never seen it before.”In Prussia, maid robots were common—cold, efficient, emotionless. But this one was different. Sleek. Alive. It felt... almost warm.“I bui

    Alex didn’t spare Heinrich a glance.Instead, he swept Sofina into his arms—in a tender princess hold—lifting her effortlessly, as if she weighed nothing at all. He held her the way a man carries something sacred, something too precious to ever let touch the ground.Gasps rippled through the hall as he held her close against his chest, her hair brushing his jaw, her heartbeat trembling against his own.He looked down at her, eyes soft, voice low and certain.“My wife,” he murmured, every word wrapped in warmth, “let’s leave this place. There’s nothing worth hearing here—only the noise of those who never knew what love feels like.”Sofina’s face burned crimson. No one had ever held her like this—so fiercely, yet so gently. Her heart pounded against his chest, wild and trembling.Her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck as he carried her through the stunned crowd, his strength steady, his presence unshakable.She was drunk—intoxicated not by wine, but by the relief and warmth of h

    Alex smiled at Sofina. There was peace in his eyes, a quiet understanding that ran deeper than words.“I didn’t protect you with my life,” he said softly. “I protected you with my love. And marriage… it wasn’t supposed to happen like this.”Sofina froze. The words cut straight through her, sharp and cold.“What do you mean?” she whispered, her eyes filled with hurt. “You don’t want to marry me?”Alex turned to the two security guards beside him and tapped their shoulders. Instantly, they froze—locked in place as if their bodies had shut down.“What the hell are you doing?!” Heinrich shouted, staring in disbelief as the guards stood motionless.Alex tapped the side of his worn communication bracelet. A soft hum filled the air as a holographic screen flickered to life—a glowing 3D projection suspended in midair.“Prepare a divorce document,” he said evenly. “From me—Alexander Saint-Claire—to my wife, Katarina Rosenheim.”A smooth, synthetic voice replied, “Divorce document generated.

    “Heinrich, you’re incredible!” someone called out, and the crowd erupted with cruel approval. Murmurs rippled through the room, sharp and cutting.“Smart move,” one man said under his breath.“She’s pathetic,” another sneered. “Crying over a man who’s already done with her.”“She’s drowning in emotions—feelings make people stupid,” a third added with a laugh.“Look at her, humiliated in front of everyone. I’d love to meet her father… to see what kind of man could raise a daughter this foolish. Absolutely shameful.”“Now, Sofina,” Heinrich said, straightening his suit, his tone polite as a blade. “I’m done wasting time. Leave this banquet. I don’t want you humiliating Katarina—or everyone here—with your presence. You reek of poverty.”“You never loved me, did you?” Sofina whispered. Her faith cracked—not from disbelief, but from believing too much.“I loved you,” Heinrich said.“But only when you were useful—when you gave me your money, your body, your time. Back then, I really did lov

    Heinrich kicked Alex back with a sneer. “Great. A bastard and a desperate woman. You two really make this place reek.”Sofina’s eyes filled with tears. “Heinrich, I’ve been with you for three years. I did everything for you. I cooked, worked, sacrificed—everything so you could succeed.”Heinrich tilted his head, feigning confusion.“Did I ever ask you to?” Heinrich’s voice cut through the air, sharp and mocking.“No, Sofina. You did all of that on your own. You pushed yourself to serve me, hoping it would make you feel needed. Let’s be honest—you weren’t helping me, you were chasing your own little sense of happiness. I was already generous enough to let someone like you stay by my side.”A ripple of laughter spread through the room.“Unbelievable,” one man muttered. “Heinrich actually spent three years with her. She should be grateful for that.”Another woman smirked. “Yeah, he gave her three years, and now she still wants to hold onto him? What a greedy fool.”“She’s delusional,” so
