Chapter 1

One early morning. Jason sat at the counter, gazing into the amber liquid in his glass. He looked like a man with nowhere to be, dressed plainly and enveloped by quietness. The bar had no patrons, empty, with just him and the bartender wiping down glasses, and the faint sound of a TV playing last night’s news. His eyes drifted to the screen. The anchor was talking about market shifts, corporate deals, etcetera. A headline crawled across the bottom: Smith Royale in Financial Trouble. Jason recognized the name Smith Royale. It was a powerhouse of a company. Prestigious. Powerful. And it was owned by the Smith's, his fiancée’s family. Looking away, Jason didn't pay too much attention to the talking head on the TV and took a slow sip from his glass, enjoying the cold taste of the drink in his mouth. Just Then, a voice behind him disturbed the quiet. "You shouldn’t be here." Jason didn't turn around, instead he glanced at the reflection in the bar mirror. A man in a black coat

Chapter 2

Jason showed no mercy to the men. Cole had ignored him, thinking he wasn't on his level, and so he had left his minions to do the job for him. And that left Jason feeling disrespected. It was clear that Cole didn't see him as a worthy opponent.Did he really think Jason was some average fighter who could be taken down by lackeys? If so, he had severely miscalculated.Beating the lackeys up was his way of sending a message to Cole.Jason walked out of the bar, leaving the unconscious guys sprawled out on the bar's floor. Walking into the city, he reached for his coat pocket and took out a piece of paper. It was a contract. But not just any contract, a marriage contract that his master had arranged a long time ago to settle an old debt.Jason had come to this city on a mission, sent to retrieve something important. But before he left, his master had informed him of something. In addition to completing his task, he had another responsibility, one that had nothing to do with his usual

Chapter 3

The lady's fingers moved to the telephone and without hesitation, she made the call. “We’ve got a problem at the front desk,” she said, scowling in annoyance. “Some lunatic is out here claiming he’s Miss Smith's fiance.”Lunatic? Jason did not appreciate being labeled that, however he let it slide for now.Within seconds, someone appeared. It was the head of security, a towering man with a chest like a fortress war. Frowning, he sized Jason up, demanding, “You got an appointment? No? Then get lost.”Without moving, or showing any sign of being fazed, Jason answered, sounding a little amused, “Yeah… no. I think I’ll stay.”The security guard was already annoyed. Well of course, he would be annoyed, because it sounded like Jason was underestimating his authority as the head of security.Not having any of it, he reached for Jason’s shoulder.Surprising him, Jason caught his wrist midair and squeezed it, not too much, but just enough to make a point.The security guard’s brows furrowed i

Chapter 4

Jason shut the door behind him, nonchalantly slipping his hands into his pockets as he met her gaze. His eyes roamed over her, not for too long, but it was enough for him to see how beautiful she was.Vanessa noticed the way his gaze swept over her, brief, but not dismissive. It wasn’t the lingering stare of a man entranced by beauty, but more like someone assessing something of value. Nonetheless, that was enough to irritate her. "I asked you a question. Who are you?" She demanded, her frown deepening. Jason took a step forward, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "Jason," he said simply.Vanessa’s patience was already running out. "Jason who? And why are you in my office?”"Jason Wolfe. I suppose you could say… I’m here on personal business." Jason answered.Vanessa's eyes widened at that statement. Personal business? What business could this man possibly have with her? And dressed like that, he looked downright suspicious. She felt a cold shiver creep up her spine. Has so

Chapter 5

Vanessa didn’t bother asking the intern who it was. Driven by curiosity, she strode toward the door and stepped into the hallway. Curious, Jason followed Vanessa and the intern outside into the hallway. Vanessa barely made it three steps before stopping abruptly. A frown formed across her face as she saw what was happening. A crowd had already formed. Employees and staff whispered among themselves, drawn to the scene unfolding before them. Standing at the center of the commotion was a group of men in suits. They formed a semi-circle, each holding a bouquet of red roses. And at the center of it all was a young man, in his mid-twenties, well-dressed, with the polished look of someone who came from a good background. Vanessa's expression turned into a bigger frown as she recognized the man, Elvis Montgomery. He was the son of a wealthy banking family. He was known for being entitled, arrogant, and persistent to the point of being insufferable. Unfortunately he is incapable of r

Chapter 6

Elvis continued to tighten his grip and forcefully grabbed Vanessa’s hand, his fingers digging into her wrist painfully. Vanessa was taken aback, “Let me go!” She demanded. Elvis's eyes turned icy, “You think you can turn me down again?” he hissed. Vanessa struggled, her attempts to break free futile against his strength. The onlookers stood frozen, their eyes wide, but none of them dared to intervene. Jason immediately took a step forward.. “Let her go!” he commanded, his gaze locked on Elvis. Elvis let go of Vanessa's hand and turned to him with a scowl. He did not notice the person standing behind Vanessa until now that he spoke up. However, now that he did, irritation flared in his chest. Who the hell was this guy and why was he getting involved in something that was clearly not his business? One thing was clear: he was too damn arrogant. How dare he interrupt? Most of the onlookers frowned, eyeing Jason. They were unimpressed with his appearance. He was dressed too pla

Chapter 7

At this point, Elvis felt betrayed by Vanessa. He had done so much to win her over and this is how she repaid him? He was not going to stand by and let it happen. But the truth was, Elvis was delusional. He was obsessed with Vanessa and just because he came from a prominent background he felt entitled to Vanessa. Vanessa had never wanted him, she had made that clear countless times. He just refused to see it. And part of the reason he was so obsessed with Vanessa was because he wanted to display her like a trophy. Vanessa had countless admirers, and in his mind, being with the most sought-after and beautiful woman would prove something, about his power, his status, his worth. "Vanessa, how could you do this to me?!" Elvis roared, his voice full of disbelief and fury. Without warning, he grabbed her wrist again with a tight grip. Vanessa, taken aback, struggled against him, her breath growing rapidly as she tried to free herself, but his hold was unrelenting. Every movement s

Chapter 8

However, before his bodyguards could even get close to Jason, they were knocked out in less than five seconds, and no one even saw how he really did it, because he moved so fast. Haah! The sound of gasps echoed in the air as people were utterly shocked by this. How did he move so fast? Vaness's eyes widened. She was just as shocked and trying to understand what happened. She looked at Jason, “Wha–what just…?” She stammered. However Jason was focused on Elvis to pay attention to her. Elvis’ eyes widened in disbelief as his highly trained bodyguards lay unconscious on the ground. They didn't even put up a fight against Jason, which was the most shocking part. “What is this?!” Elvis gasped, still clutching his broken finger, his voice was a mix of anger, shock, and pain. “How the hell!” His teeth grinded as he tried to gather himself, the throbbing pain in his finger making it hard to think straight. He shuddered when Jason glared at him. “You’re a dead man, just you wa

Chapter 9

Jason gave a faint smile and said,“You don't want to know Vanessa.” Vanessa was even more curious about him, but she was not satisfied with his answer. She studied him in silence. She didn’t know much about Jason they had only just met, but she couldn’t deny it was nice, how he hadn’t hesitated to put Elvis in his place for her. Thanks to him, Elvis wouldn’t be bothering her again so she was thankful. She wanted to thank him. But then she thought: wait! What was there to thank him for? Even without Jason she would have gotten rid of Elvis with smith royale security. Plus she did not want him to get the wrong idea. He might think she is now accepting of him. She crossed her arms and gave him a pointed look. “You didn’t have to go that far, I could have handled it on my own.” Jason’s smirk didn’t fade. “Didn’t I? Or did you have it under control all this time?” His tone was calm, but there was something in his eyes, amusement, maybe even challenge. Vanessa wasn’t sur

Chapter 10

The woman was clearly injured from the crash, but adrenaline pushed her forward as she ran. However she could barely run far with her high heels, but she didn't stop. Just as she took off, the two SUVs skidded to a stop, their doors flying open. Men dressed in ski masks spilled out and started chasing her. There were four in total. Watching from a little distance, Jason was still trying to make sense of what all of this is, his gaze looking between them and the woman. She was outnumbered and outmatched. She sprinted toward the alley’s exit, only for another car to screech to a halt, blocking her path and three men jumped out. She stopped running, her gaze frantically searching for another way to run to. Realizing she was trapped, her breath grew rapid as the men closed in. It was not Jason's business, nor did he know what was happening, however he was having a hard time not intervening here. “Miss, why’d you have to make this harder?” A man emerged out of one of the vehicles. He
