“I figured you were already dressed,” Harlan said from the threshold. “Wanted to invite you downstairs for breakfast.”

“Give me a minute,” Quinn answered.

“You won’t mind an extra guest, will you?” Julius said, stepping forward.

Harlan’s expression hardened when he saw Julius in sleepwear standing behind Quinn.

Anyone could tell Julius had spent the night in that room.

Harlan lunged past Quinn and fisted Julius‘ collar. “Julius, what are you doing here?”

“Why shouldn’t I be?” Julius asked, unruffled. “The owner of this room hasn’t questioned me, so what right do you have?”

Harlan glared, wanting to wipe the smugness off that face.

If Quinn weren’t standing there, he would have thrown a punch already.

“Harlan, let go. He stayed here overnight for certain reasons.”

Only then did Harlan unclench his hand, grudgingly.

When Quinn disappeared into the bathroom to wash up, the two men left behind locked eyes like drawn blades.

“Don’t fool yourself, Julius,” Harlan said, his voice dipped in frost. “Sneaking into her room with some despicable trick won’t win you a second chance. She broke up with you. She doesn’t look back–she proved that when she walked away from Trent.”

Despicable? The word flickered across Julius‘ gaze, leaving a faint, dangerous glint.

Maybe he was despicable. He had brandished his insomnia, let her think he was unraveling, and preyed on her need to sende every debt, luring her into what he called repayment. Yet without such schemes, she would never have allowed him this close–neyer within breathing distance of her guarded heart.

Julius kegn his voice low. He said. Tim not Trent From the beginning to the bitter end. I’ve loved only

Quinn. She knows why else would she let me stay in her room tonight?”

Harlan let out a short, cold laugh I don’t know how you managed to plant yourself in her room, but nothing happened–did in Which means she isn’t interested in you at all

Julius expression soured, the insult crawling under his skin

Julius knew all too well that Quinn’s logic and self–control eclipsed that of most women he had met

In the past, his face and body had been enough to temps her, but only because she had allowed herself to be tempted.

If her heart truly shut the door, no amount of seduction no matter how artful–would move her.

He remembered the last time: he had drained the drugged liquor himself, begged and teased before her. only to be knocked unconscious and left in a hospital bed.

Julius gaze darkened. He said. “Even if she has lost interest in me, it doesn’t mean she’s interested in you.”

Harlan’s tone landed like a vow. “Who can predict the future, Julius? This time, I won’t miss my chance with Quinn.”

The air between them thickened, choking the small room with unspoken violence.

In the club’s private room, Leander waited until his men escorted the casino executives out. Then he tugged at his tie, fatigue etched between his brows.

Serena glided closer and slipped her arms around Leander’s neck. “Did the negotiations go smoothly?” she asked, her voice a practiced purr.
