As Alex approached the house entrance, Sophia noticed that Alex
was behind her."Haven’t you had enough?"
"Believe me," Alex replied, "running into you is the last thing I wanted today."
Sophia stepped out, blocking his path.
"So, what is it then? Are you here to remind me of the biggest mistake of my life?"
"Mistake?" Alex’s tone grew colder.
"I could say the same. You think I enjoyed waking up and realizing I’d wasted my time with someone so shallow?"
"Shallow?" Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger.
"You’re just bitter because you know I’m right. You’re nothing but a loser, a gold-digger."
Alex laughed, shaking his head.
"You’re delusional. I don’t need anything from you, least of your money."
Sophia stepped even closer, her finger jabbing the air between them.
"Then what do you want? To ruin my life even more?"
"No, I’m not here to ruin anything." Alex locked his eyes with hers. "I’m meeting my fiancée."
"Your fiancée? You have a fiancée?" Sophia shocked.
"I’m here to meet someone named Sophia Lancaster at this address," Alex’s patience wearing thin.
"I’m not looking for you. So, if you can help me out, call her, and I’ll leave as soon as possible."
WTF?!
Sophia paused, her expression shifting from shock to realization.
"Wait... you're here for that Sophia Lancaster?"
Alex coldly replied.
"Yes! Can you please just get her? I don't have time for games."
Sophia bit her lip, trying to mask the confusion swirling inside her.
"There’s no need to call anyone. I’m... I’m Sophia Lancaster."
They stood there, staring at each other in stunned silence.
Just then, a voice called out from inside the mansion.
"Alexander Leonhart!"
An old man stepped out, his face lighting up with a wide smile.
"Master told me you would come today! What are you doing out there?"
"Grandfather," Sophia called.
The old man, Abraham Lancaster, turned towards them, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
He looked between them, his smile growing even wider as if he had been waiting for this moment.
"So, you've met Alex, your fiancé. It’s great to know you both know each other."
Sophia quickly interjected, "We are not—"
"Call your parents, Sophia," Abraham said, cutting her off.
"Gather everyone in the Great Hall. I have an announcement. You both are going to get married today."
Sophia stood, shocked.
"Finally, my long-held wish can be fulfilled today," Abraham’s voice trembled with happiness.
He walked over to Alex, his hand reaching out to grasp Alex’s.
"Come, let’s go to the Great Hall. You’ll meet your in-laws."
Sophia watched them walk away, disbelief and anger surging through her.
She had lost her virginity to that man, and now she was supposed to lose her future too.
"This can't be happening!"
She had dreamed of an extraordinary fiancé, someone worthy, someone heroic, not any rubbish!
Instead, she was now being handed to a man she could have picked off the street.
As CEO of Lancaster Group, known for her beauty and bright future, how could she marry such a man?
What would people think?
"No," she decided. "I'll stop this marriage, no matter the cost."

In the Great Hall, Abraham guided Alex to an honored seat.
"How is Master?"
"Still healthy after a hundred years," Alex replied.
"You’re young, successful, and humble. I’m fortunate to have a grandson-in-law like you. Sophia is a good person; please give her a chance to get to know you better."
Alex nodded politely, but he doubt the possibility.
Sophia didn’t look like she wanted the chance.
"Wonderful, wonderf—" Abraham laugh joyfully.
However, just then, an angry voice cut in.
"Are you insane?! Sophia cannot marry him!"
Lady Lancaster, Abraham's wife, angrily stormed into the Great Hall.
She was flanked by their two sons and two daughters-in-law, with Sophia trailing behind them.

Previously, while Alex was still trapped in the prison cage, Major General Marcus Hale sat comfortably in his Chicago office, enjoying a cigar when his phone rang.He picked it up casually."Laura Montclair," Marcus drawled with a lazy smirk. "You wanted this Alex guy dead, right? Consider it done. Mind telling me again who exactly he is?""He's just some nobody doctor running a tiny clinic in a Vancouver slum," Laura said coldly. "Nothing to worry about."Marcus chuckled, exhaling a slow stream of smoke."I’ve wiped out thousands like him—he’ll vanish, no question. But…" He smirked, voice dropping into a darker tone."If you give me another night like last week, I might even take my time. Drag it out. What do you say?""Perfect," Laura shot back coldly. "I was craving that too."The line went dead.Barely moments later, the phone rang again. Marcus frowned when he saw the caller ID."Governor Tom Jones? What’s the matter now?""I hear you're holding someone named Alex," Tom Jones sai

At the Kingston government office, the phone rang sharply, cutting through the heavy silence.Jasmine lifted the receiver without breaking her stride. “Jasmine here.”“Jasmine, we have a situation!” Kelly's voice burst out, urgent and tense.She paused, her brow furrowing. “What's happened?”“Alex has been arrested by the Chicago military!” Kelly swiftly recounted the details, her voice clipped and precise.As Jasmine listened, her expression darkened, eyes narrowing with every word.“Using the Chicago military to snatch him? Whoever orchestrated this has serious connections.”“Jasmine, I bet it’s one of the Chicago Lords flexing their muscle—probably the Jones family,” Kelly growled.“Yesterday Alex tore through the Jones' estate, crippled Tom's son, all to protect you. They won't let that slide.”“It definitely smells like the Jones' handiwork,” Jasmine said grimly.“But Tom alone couldn’t summon military power. Another Lord must be backing him.”“I'm mobilizing Vermont’s military i

Lyra stormed out into the open, chased closely by Sophia.“Lyra! What the hell are you doing to Laura? I've never seen you like this before!”Sophia had known Lyra for years. She'd always seemed kind, gentle even. This ruthless side was completely new and terrifying.Ignoring Sophia, Lyra walked toward a nearby pond, plunging her blood-stained hands into the water.She watched the blood swirl away and muttered, "You don't really know me, Sophia."She moved slowly to a bench beneath a tree, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.“You told me you'd quit!” Sophia said, voice trembling with disappointment.“I did quit,” Lyra exhaled sharply, blowing smoke into the sky.“Three whole years. But today I broke it. I need this, Sophia.”Sophia stared in disbelief, struggling to find words. “How—how can you shoot people like this?”Lyra shrugged, her tone cool and distant. “I practice at a shooting range. I have licenses for all my guns.”“You kill people, Lyra!” Sophia shouted, her voice cracking

“You want me to heal your husband, and yet you dare threaten me?”Alex laughed bitterly, shaking his head. “You've got to be joking.”Laura's eyes darkened, venom lacing every word. “You’re like someone who needs to see their own coffin to realize they're dying.”“Fine. If you won’t save him now, mark my words—when you're on your knees, bleeding, bones shattered, begging for mercy—it’ll be too late. This is your final chance to reconsider before things get ugly.”Alex met her fury with a calm defiance.“Sorry, not interested.” He turned sharply toward the exit.Just then, chaos erupted near the hospital’s entrance. All heads snapped up as a military vehicle roared into view, skidding to a halt.The soldiers leapt out, fully armed, their faces grim and lethal. People scattered, a path clearing as if by instinct alone.Sophia’s eyes widened in shock. “The military? Here? Are they arresting someone?”Laura smirked wickedly. “Alex, this is your very last chance.”Lyra shot a glare at Laura

Laura’s face twisted in rage. Without hesitation, she swung her hand, landing a fierce slap across the doctor’s face.“What kind of worthless bastard calls himself a doctor, yet sends my husband home just to wait for death?” she screamed, her voice shaking with fury.Dr. Peter stood frozen, stunned. One of Vermont's finest doctors had just been humiliated by this woman.“Listen carefully, woman,” he snarled bitterly.“Your husband will die. Nothing on earth can save him now, not even your parade of second opinions. Frankly, with a venomous wife like you, it’s no wonder he’s headed to an early grave.”Laura exploded, her voice cracking with raw fury.“What the hell did you just say to me? You dare sentence my husband to death and blame me for it? Are you begging to die?”The assistants quickly stepped forward, forming a barrier around Dr. Peter, terrified by Laura’s wild wrath.“Guards!” Laura roared. “Beat them! Break every damn bone in their bodies!”“Yes, Ma’am!” Two guards surged fo

Lyra stood by, eyes fixed anxiously on Laura Montclair. "Calm down. He'll be here.""Calm down? Have you seen the time? What’s going to happen to my husband?" Laura's voice echoed harshly through the hospital room, desperation cracking her tone.Lyra clenched her fists, fighting the urge to snap. "If you can't stop screaming at me, maybe you should find yourself another doctor."Laura shot Lyra a venomous glare."Listen carefully. The only reason you're even here is because your father and my husband were once best friends. You should be thanking me for this opportunity.”“Remember Lyra, I could open doors you couldn't even dream of."On the hospital bed, Rudiyard moaned loudly, gripping his head in agony."It feels like my head is splitting open!"Laura rushed to his side, gently squeezing his hand. "Hang in there, honey. The best doctor is coming. He’ll make this right, I promise."No one could explain Rudiyard’s sudden collapse a week earlier or the constant, relentless headaches e
