"Ten thousand dollars?!"Anthony stared at the receptionist, waiting for her to laugh and tell him it was a joke. She didn't."Yes, sir. The VIP suite visitation fee is ten thousand dollars."He looked at her for another moment before slowly pulling his hand away from his pocket. Ten thousand dollars, just to see his own mother. What the actual fuck?"Are you serious right now?" he asked. "You're telling me I have to pay ten thousand dollars just to visit my mother?""I'm afraid that's our policy, sir.""Your policy?" Anthony's voice rose. "What kind of hospital charges people ten thousand dollars to see their own family?"The receptionist kept her professional smile in place. "I understand your concern, sir, but these are the standard charges for visitors accessing our VIP patient suites."Anthony clenched his jaw. He wanted to argue, and part of him wanted to flip the entire reception desk.But he was standing in a hospital that probably cost more to build than he could earn in ten
Chapter 23: The Hospital
He wanted to explain that Linda had been the one who cheated, that he'd spent most of their relationship struggling to make ends meet, that he'd rejected Robert Stark because he didn't want his life bought and sold.But there was so much wrong with Mia's version that he couldn't decide which lie to correct first. He took a breath."Mia, listen—""Sir?" The driver's voice came from the front. "We've arrived."Anthony turned to the window. Outside, a large hospital stood beneath the city lights. He looked from the building to Mia, who had already turned away.You've got to be kidding me. He'd finally learned why she hated him, and it was all based on lies.Before he could gather his thoughts, Sonia put a hand on his arm. "Come on, darling. Go see your mother.""But—""We can talk about all this when you get back." She smiled. "We'll be waiting."He hesitated. There was so much he wanted to say, but his mother was waiting, and right now, seeing her mattered more than winning an argument
Chapter 22: Your mum?
"Your... mom?" Sonia stared at Anthony. For the first time that night, the confident redhead looked completely lost. "Yeah. My mom." She blinked. Her chin was still resting against his hip, her lips still wet, and she looked up at him like he'd just spoken a language she didn't know. "Wait." Her eyebrows drew together. "You want your mother to come here?" He frowned. "What?" She glanced around the room and looked back at him. "You want her to... join us?" For a second he forgot how to speak. Then his eyes nearly popped out of his head. "WHAT?!" "Is that what you're saying?" "NO!" He practically leapt off the bed. "Jesus Christ, Sonia! What the hell is wrong with you?" "Well, what was I supposed to think? You said you wanted her!" "NOT LIKE THAT!" He dragged his trousers back into place and fastened them in a hurry while Sonia watched, still confused, then grabbed his shirt and started on the buttons. "I meant I want to see my mother. As in, visit her. At the hosp
Chapter 21: What Do You Want. Anthony?
Sonia stepped closer, and Anthony instinctively stepped back. Then again, and again, until the backs of his legs bumped the edge of the black leather couch.She stopped right in front of him with a playful smile, one hand resting on his chest, her fingers slowly tracing across his shirt.Oh, hell no. Not again. He still remembered what happened at the swimming pool.One minute, he'd been having a normal conversation with Sonia. The next, he'd been dragged into the water, with her seducing him so shamelessly that he'd nearly forgotten his own name.And now she'd brought him into a room that looked like it belonged in a very expensive adult movie.This woman was dangerous."Sonia… what exactly are you planning?"She tilted her head. "What do you think, darling?"He swallowed. "Look, I think we should probably get back to the party.""Why?""Why?" He looked around the room. "Do I really need to explain?"She followed his gaze and laughed. "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you're scared.""I'm
Chapter 20: Her Favorite Room
"Anthony!" Sonia's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. "What's going on? Who was that man you were chasing?"Anthony's gaze stayed on the road where the black sedan had disappeared."That's what I was trying to figure out. The bastard gave me a—" Anthony turned, and his words died in his throat.Wait. No fucking way.The man standing by her side was tall, broad-shouldered, lean and muscular, dressed in a dark designer outfit, with a relaxed smile that made him look completely at home.Anthony knew that face. He'd watched this man's fights, followed his interviews, spent countless hours studying his moves. It was Israel Adesanya, the MMA middleweight fighter, standing right in front of him."Anthony?" Sonia waved a hand in front of his face. "Earth to Anthony?"He blinked. "Is that…?"She followed his gaze and smiled. "Oh! I see you've recognized him. I saw on his social media that you were a huge MMA fan, so I thought I'd introduce you.""You're actually…" Anthony struggled for word
Chapter 19: Five Seconds
IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, NEVER ACCEPT ROBERT STARK'S OFFER. YOU WON'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO INHERIT A CENT.Anthony stared at the paper. He read it once, twice, then a third time just to be sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. What the actual fuck?He'd been threatened before — by angry customers, rich assholes, even Linda during their breakup. But this was something else.Someone had followed him into Madison Square Garden, watched him through the entire game, then trailed him to a private party just to hand him a death threat. Over an inheritance he'd already rejected.Anthony's eyes narrowed. "Oh, hell fucking no."He had no intention of accepting Robert Stark's offer anyway, but whoever thought they could threaten him and then stroll away had picked the wrong man.He slowly lifted his head — and found him almost immediately.He wasn't hard to spot, because while everyone else was dressed in designer jackets, colorful dresses, and expensive jewelry, this asshole was in a black
