As the grand doors of the mansion swung open, Alexander and Katherine were met by the warm embrace of soft golden lights and the delicate aroma of a sumptuous meal.

Jane stood before them with a smile plastered on her lips. “Welcome home, my darlings! I'm so glad to have you both here. The maids have prepared a delightful meal for you, and your room is all set.” Her eyes darted from Katherine to her son whose expression remained cold.

    Katherine couldn't deny the intense admiration she felt for Alexander's physique. She found herself captivated by the sculpted lines of his body, each curve and muscle drawing her eyes like a masterpiece on display.From the moment she saw him standing there with water droplets cascading down his damp hair and over his chiseled chest, she was mesmerized. His presence exuded an air of strength and confidence that was alluring.She couldn't help but trace the path of the water with her eyes as it rolled down his naked chest, disappearing tantalizingly at his waist, where the towel clung to his lean form.
