Marlena’s eyes widened slightly. “We spent five hundred million dollars on advertising alone,” she said.

“But the return was massive. With almost all of Prussia participating, we made no less than twenty billion this round.”

Alex smiled faintly. “So after subtracting advertising costs and the Bluthelm acquisition, we’re still deep in profit.”

“Exactly,” Marlena confirmed. “What about the third competition? If we open betting again with Phantom, we could earn several more billion.”

Alex shook his head. “Phantom doesn’t have a driver.”

“But you do, sir,” Marlena said carefully. “If you pilot it yourself, that would be a guaranteed win.”

Alex chuckled. “Tempting. But no. It stops here.”

He straightened, his tone turning cold and final. “We don’t need trouble with Eisenwall. That’s bad for business. Let Phantom lose. Bluthelm and Eden Group need to lie low for a while. That fits us perfectly.”

“As you wish, sir,” Marlena said, bowing her head as Alex turned and walked out.

    “Alex!” Felicia screamed, her voice tearing apart with panic. “You’re my son-in-law. Pauline is my daughter. You’re both my guarantors!”“Mom!” Pauline shouted, horror flooding her face. “What have you done?!”The two men slowly turned their cold, predatory gazes toward Alex and Pauline, measuring them the way traders inspect livestock.“These two,” one of them said indifferently. “A strong young man and a young woman. Far better guarantors than a useless old woman.”They shoved Felicia away without a second thought and let her go.“You can go,” the man said. “We’ll keep them.”Felicia staggered free, terror flooding her face. She backed away, shouting over her shoulder, “I’m sorry! I swear I’ll find the money outside! Please—stay here!”Then she turned and ran. She didn’t look back.Pauline instinctively tried to run after her, but a staff member grabbed her arm and yanked her back.A large, thick-necked man stepped forward, looming over Alex and Pauline like a wall of muscle.“You t

    “Today you’re coming with me,” Felicia said to Pauline. “You’re going to learn how money is really made. Using your body only works if you’re smart enough not to let some man hand you a sexually transmitted disease—a death sentence wrapped in pleasure.”Pauline turned her head.“Alex, do you have any sexually transmitted diseases?”“Yes,” Alex replied without hesitation. “I carry ten of the rarest and deadliest ones. So stay as far away from me as possible.”Pauline didn’t even blink. She reached into her bag and pulled out a compact device—sleek, metallic, shaped like a scanner gun. She pointed it straight at Alex’s chest.The device beeped once. A small screen flashed.“Mom,” Pauline said calmly, “Alex doesn’t have any sexually transmitted diseases. Out of two hundred and fifty known infections, he has none. He’s completely clean—perfectly healthy. That’s extremely rare.”Alex frowned.Felicia’s eyes narrowed. “How do you even have something like that?”“Everyone in my class has one

    Alex stood there and realized it again—he had no obligation to help Renata. They weren’t that close. Her personal matters were none of his business.But she was his wife’s best friend.That was the only reason he decided to act.Not to intervene. Not to confront.Just to record everything.His fingers brushed the bracelet on his wrist. A faint vibration answered him as the recorder activated, silently locking onto Matthias and the woman beside him.—The woman grinned and pinched Matthias’s cheek hard, possessive and sharp.“You’re my man,” she said, her voice sweet but jealous. “So why are you still sticking with her? I don’t allow other women to touch what’s mine.”Matthias laughed softly and leaned closer, his tone slick and coaxing.“Relax, Jess. That woman’s cold as a corpse—so conservative she wouldn’t even let me touch her before marriage. She’s a duke’s daughter. Filthy rich. And she bankrolls me without question.”He lowered his voice, intimate and false.“I haven’t touched h

    The next morning, Sofina woke early and got ready for work.Alex was already in the kitchen. Breakfast had been carefully packed into a food box, prepared for her to take to the office. He wiped his hands, walked over, placed the food box against her palm—and then set the car key gently on top of it.“Drive to the office today,” he said calmly. “And from now on. Always.”Sofina hesitated. She looked down at the key, then back at him. “It’s your car. Are you sure I can use it?”“I didn’t buy it for me,” Alex said. “If you’re not driving it, the car loses its meaning.”Sofina paused, then nodded. She took the key, leaned forward, and kissed him softly on the lips. Her eyes lingered on his face, warm and romantic. “Thank you.”Pauline, still eating breakfast, squinted at the car keys in Sofina’s hand.“So let me get this straight,” she said. “You wake up, make breakfast, hand over a car like it’s candy, and act mysterious about it?”Alex nodded calmly. “That’s correct.”Pauline crossed h

    When the class reunion finally ended, Renata walked straight up to Alex and Sofina.“So,” she said lightly, “how are we getting back?”“By car, of course,” Sofina replied, confused. “Why?”Renata grinned. “Come on. Your husband has a VÖXEN Seraphine and a VÖXEN sixth generation. You’ll obviously follow him home. So why not let me use the VÖXEN Seraphine?”Sofina glanced at Alex.“No. The Seraphine is out of the question,” Alex said firmly. “She can use the sixth generation, but the Seraphine is a hard no.”Renata let out a resigned sigh. “Fine. The sixth generation, then.”Alex shrugged, completely at ease. “You’re Sofina’s best friend. If she’s okay with it, so am I.”“Then it’s settled,” Sofina said.Renata rushed forward, grabbed Sofina’s face, and kissed her on the lips. What started as a quick peck turned into a deep, lingering kiss.Alex could only scratch his head.Back in Estoria, this would have been unthinkable. Here, among Prussians, it was normal—friends kissing, male or

    Belinda froze when the head of Eden Group security shut her down so abruptly.For a split second, her mind went blank.Annoyance surged through her chest, sharp and burning. She wanted to scream. But her friends were still watching—every pair of eyes fixed on her. She clenched her teeth, swallowed her anger, and forced herself to stay upright.She made a call again.This time, she dialed the vice general manager—the man who had always hovered at her father’s side like a shadow.Her father’s right hand.She remembered it clearly.This man was always timid in front of her father—head lowered, spine bent, nodding nonstop, agreeing to everything without a single objection.The call connected.“Hello, Mr. Jacob,” Belinda said at once, her voice tight but confident. “It’s me, Belinda von Yorck. I’m having a problem here—”“I’m sorry,” the man cut in coldly. “I don’t know you.”Belinda stiffened.“What?” Her voice wavered for half a second, then turned sharp. “Mr. Jacob, don’t play games wit
