Maxwell Zelinsky sighed deeply, a look of sadness and helplessness on his face. "I have no real feelings for her, and I'm not happy. You are the one I've always held close to my heart, my one true love."

Ashton was feeling, even without seeing her expression. He could already sense the emotional turmoil brewing inside her.

"Otto!"

"Yes, Mr. Zelinsky!" At Maxwell's call, a small but sharp-looking man appeared

at his side.

"Book a hunting session for this afternoon."

"How many participants, sir?"

"Three." Maxwell's eyes followed Ashton's fading silhouette, confident and

composed as ever.

"Yes, Mr. Zelinsky," Otto responded swiftly before vanishing as quickly as he

a strong, skilled woman-especially one as beautiful and well-built as Ashton-was something he hadn't experienced before. Even though Emmanuel hadn't given him much guidance lately, the training he received back in Yeringham had helped him develop some internal strength. Over the past few months, he had also enlisted a personal coach to further his skills. Nathan was eager to see how far he'd come in actual combat. "You're into that kind of game too?" Ashton was taken aback for a moment before sneering. "I didn't expect that from someone as fragile as you." "Are you afraid to accept my challenge? Nathan shot back, clearly
