Z-Ford City
Lord Letters Bar
The noise in the bar was deafening, the air thick with the beat. Lights flashed in a dizzying rainbow as guys and girls packed the dance floor, moving and grinding, letting all their inhibitions go.
A figure weaved through the crowd, wearing a white T-shirt and light blue jeans, her hair tied in a simple ponytail. She looked like she was in her early twenties, more like a college student.
Her name was Renee Avery, and she was almost overwhelmed by the noise as soon as she walked in.
With an air of innocence still clinging to her, she was clearly, painfully out of place.
It was her first time in such a place, and it took her several minutes to get used to it.
Just yesterday at this time, she had used an ovulation test strip and found out she would be ovulating in the next 24-48 hours, which meant now!
Yes, she had come to this place today to have a baby.
She knew the "old man" at home certainly couldn't get her pregnant. Besides, he had left her for an entire year, so she had to find someone else to have a child.
While this pregnancy was a matter of necessity, not desire, no mother wants her child to be plain. And so, she had to look at the right target.
Renee bit her lower lip, her almond-shaped eyes scanning every man around her. Then, a man sitting at the bar caught her eye.
Because he was sitting sideways, Rene could only see his profile.
But just that profile was enough to make Rene's heart flutter!
He had a strikingly sculpted face, with a high-bridged nose and thin lips. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow beneath his eyes, giving him an almost ethereal look. He looked like he might be of mixed heritage.
A sapphire blue earring in his left ear sparkled brilliantly under the light, captivating anyone who glanced at it.
Renee took a deep breath, feeling as if her heart might leap out of her chest. It was her first time doing something like this, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Mimicking the way upperclassmen at school would flirt with younger students, she lightly tapped the man's shoulder. "Hi!"
The man turned to face her. If his profile had been enough to stop her heart, seeing him head-on was simply lethal. He was handsome to an incurable degree.
And his eyes, a pair of pale blue were utterly mesmerising.
Renee was so absorbed in admiring his good looks that she momentarily froze.
"Why are you late?!" The man sounded both anxious and annoyed. He stood up abruptly, grabbed Renee's wrist, and started walking out. Renee had no idea what was happening!
All she knew was that the man's grip was incredibly strong, almost breaking under the pressure.
The man led her directly to the neighbouring hotel, seemingly well-prepared. He headed straight to the presidential suite on the third floor, swiping a key card to open the door in one smooth motion.
As soon as they entered, the man pulled off his white T-shirt, revealing his honey-toned chest.
Renee Avery gasped. This man's physique was incredible! His broad chest, perfectly defined muscles, and not an ounce of excess fat, all of it was flawless. His body was as enchanting as his face, especially with those tempting abs.
This man wasn't just a pretty face; his entire being was a work of art!
She almost had a nosebleed!
The man had taken off his T-shirt and was now unbuckling his belt. Julia Avery's eyes widened as she realised she was about to see more than she bargained for. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, stopping him from going any further. "Wait a minute!"
The man raised an eyebrow, his blue eyes looking down at her." What's the matter?"
"Isn't this a bit too fast ?" Renee's cheeks flushed as she gave an awkward smile.
"Fast? Too fast?" The man looked her over. Her delicate face was tinged with a rosy blush, and the more he looked at her, the more embarrassed she became, quickly averting her gaze.
"Oh, I forgot. We should probably start with some foreplay," the man said, dropping his hand from his belt and walking into the bedroom. "Say what you want."
He turned on the bedroom light, and Renee timidly followed him inside. It was only then, in the quiet of the room, that the man began to truly observe Renee.
She had a classic oval face, a little slender with a pointed chin and a touch of natural baby fat on her cheeks, adding to her charm. Cute, delicate, the kind of person who was simply pleasant to look at. Under her arched eyebrows were a pair of clear, limpid eyes, like polished obsidian, sparkling with an enchanting light.
Her long, fluttering eyelashes were incredibly captivating. It was just... wasn't her chest a little on the small side? It was the man's first time, too, but that hardly meant he was clueless. He'd listened to that loudmouth Lionel Gonzalez on about women often enough. He might not have direct experience, but he certainly knew the theory. He knew some of the evaluation criteria for women who were going to get involved with a man!
"That rascal Lionel Mendez, he promised to find a top-notch, but it looks like he kept the best for himself!" the man muttered.
"Huh? What did you say?" Renee hadn't caught what he mumbled.
"Never mind. Weren't you trying to flirt? Why are you just standing there? Say something! The man's voice was commanding, exuding an air of superiority.
Perhaps he had every right to be that way.
His name was Kenneth Butler.
In Yorkshire City, this name was well-known to many. He was the founder and current CEO of Obsidian Empire, a dominant figure who held immense power and influence.
The legendary Kenneth Butler was a genius gamer who built his empire from the ground up through games. The games he created almost monopolised the entire market. Later, Obsidian Empire rapidly expanded, branching out from gaming into various industries, which significantly boosted Kenneth's wealth.
At just twenty-six years old, he was one of the wealthiest individuals not only in the country but also internationally. However, he never appeared in public, and no one had ever seen him.
Renee swallowed hard. "Um, I have just one request today."
"Speak!" Kenneth Butler sounded a bit impatient.
"Don't use a condom."
Hearing this, Kenneth Butler's jaw nearly dropped to the floor! Lionel had been very clear about this: he must use a condom!
For one thing, given his special status, it would be a nightmare if an accidental pregnancy occurred. For another, you never know about the kind of women who hang around in places like this; a lot of them aren't exactly clean. Catching some kind of disease would be a disaster.
"Because..." Renee hesitated. She didn't want to reveal her plan to have a baby. She just wanted to get pregnant quietly, without any complications.
"If you don't tell me, I won't touch you today!" Kenneth Butler's gaze turned icy. Renee really didn't want to miss this opportunity. Where else could she find such good genes if she let this slip away?
She took a deep breath and decided to go for it. "Because I want to have a baby!" Kenneth Butler was stunned once again. This woman looked barely in her twenties, and she wanted to have a baby? Was she out of her mind?
"Why?"
"Don't worry! I won't bother you at all! I'll raise the child myself! It won't have anything to do with you!" Renee quickly promised, her voice full of determination.
For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

Arabella, a state-trained prodigy, won freedom after seven brutal years. Back home, she found her aunt basking in her late parents' mansion while her twin sister scrounged for scraps. Fury ignited her genius. She gutted the aunt's business overnight and enrolled in her sister's school, crushing the bullies.

Chelsey loved Brett for seven years and tried everything for a baby-doctors, IVF, surgeries. Then she found out he'd been dosing her food with contraceptives. She woke back at the fire years earlier and watched Brett carry another woman out, leaving Chelsey to choke in smoke. She realized he'd been reborn too-and picked his "true love." Chelsey walked away and married Julian, her friend's cousin and the hot firefighter who saved her; he gave her all his money the day they married. Brett scoffed... until Chelsey shone at an AI summit and Julian's real identity shocked him. Seeing her with twins and another baby coming, Brett begged, "Come back to me! Please!"
The acrid smell of smoke still clung to Evelyn in the ambulance, her lungs raw from the penthouse fire. She was alive, but the world around her felt utterly destroyed, a feeling deepened by the small TV flickering to life. On it, her husband, Julian Vance, thousands of miles away, publicly comforted his mistress, Serena Holloway, shielding her from paparazzi after *her* "panic attack." Julian's phone went straight to voicemail. Alone in the hospital with second-degree burns, Evelyn watched news replays, her heart rate spiking. He protected Serena from camera flashes while Evelyn burned. When he finally called, he demanded she handle insurance, dismissing the fire; Serena's voice faintly heard. The shallow family ties and pretense of marriage evaporated. A searing injustice and cold anger replaced pain; Evelyn knew Julian had chosen to let her burn. "Evelyn Vance died in that fire," she declared, ripping out her IV. Armed with a secret fortune as "The Architect," Hollywood's top ghostwriter, she walked out. She would divorce Julian, reclaim her name, and finally step into the spotlight as an actress.
