The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 523

Alex stood there and realized it again—he had no obligation to help Renata. They weren’t that close. Her personal matters were none of his business.

But she was his wife’s best friend.

That was the only reason he decided to act.

Not to intervene. Not to confront.

Just to record everything.

His fingers brushed the bracelet on his wrist. A faint vibration answered him as the recorder activated, silently locking onto Matthias and the woman beside him.

—

The woman grinned and pinched Matthias’s cheek hard, possessive and sharp.

“You’re my man,” she said, her voice sweet but jealous. “So why are you still sticking with her? I don’t allow other women to touch what’s mine.”

Matthias laughed softly and leaned closer, his tone slick and coaxing.

“Relax, Jess. That woman’s cold as a corpse—so conservative she wouldn’t even let me touch her before marriage. She’s a duke’s daughter. Filthy rich. And she bankrolls me without question.”

He lowered his voice, intimate and false.

“I haven’t touched her since we got together. My body is yours. Only yours. Always. I’m exclusive to you.” He smiled. “But you know we need her money. That stupid woman is useful.”

Jess nodded, satisfied. “You’re right. She’s a duke’s daughter. Of course she’s loaded. Squeeze a few more million out of her, and we can live happily ever after—without her.”

Matthias laughed, crude and careless.

“I’m already sick of her. I planned to dump her the moment her money came through to open the auto shop. But who knew that idiot had enough cash to keep pouring money into me for a whole year—fantasizing about turning me into the owner of the biggest auto shop, building a name so her father would finally accept us. So yeah. I stayed.”

His eyes gleamed with contempt.

“Once every last cent is gone, I’ll ditch her. Kick her out of our lives like trash.”

Jess burst into laughter. “She believes every dollar she gives you is for buying cars to resell. She still doesn’t know you never opened an auto shop—just a parking lot. And she actually thinks all those cars belong to you.”

Matthias smirked. “She has no clue. I cooked the books. Messed with the accounts. She still thinks the shop is doing great, that we have a future together.”

Jess slid a hand to her waist, laughing seductively.

“You really are good at this,” she said. “A real talent for making money.”

She pressed her chest against Matthias’s arm, slow and deliberate, like a cat rubbing against a pillar. Her voice softened into a purr.

“Matthias… buy me the VÖXEN sixth generation now. Ever since I saw that stupid woman driving one, I can’t stop thinking about having one for myself.”

Matthias lifted his chin and smiled, smug and assured.

“Later, baby. Come back to my place first. We’ll go a few rounds of good sex.” His eyes flicked over her body. “If I’m satisfied, then yeah—tomorrow, I’ll buy you your dream car.”

Jess squealed with delight. “Really? You swear? You’ll buy me the VÖXEN sixth generation tomorrow?”

“When have I ever lied to you?” Matthias grinned. “That woman is here in Winchester. She’s just dumping money on me like rain. I’m loaded, babe. But first—you make me happy with all the holes you have.”

Jess tapped his chest playfully, eyes glittering. “You bad dog. Don’t worry. By the time we get to your place, you’ll be floating in heaven.”

Laughing together, they turned and walked out of the VÖXEN showroom.

Alex watched them go, then shook his head. Without hesitation, he sent the recorded video to Sofina.

At least now, she would finally see what a “good man”—her best friend’s partner—really looked like behind closed doors.

He thought that would be the end of it.

It wasn’t.

His bracelet vibrated with an incoming call.

Not Sofina.

Renata.

“Hello,” Alex answered.

“Alex,” Renata snapped, her voice edged with fury. “I don’t know what you think you’re doing—sending that video to Sofina and having her pass it to me. Matthias would never do something like that to me.”

“Alright,” Alex replied flatly, already regretting sticking his nose into something that wasn’t his business.

“I’m telling you right now,” Renata continued coldly, “I have zero interest in you. So stop trying to destroy my relationship with Matthias. Our love is pure.”

“What?” Alex frowned. He genuinely didn’t understand what she was talking about.

“Don’t pretend,” Renata said. “I know exactly what you’re thinking. I’m beautiful. I’m a duke’s daughter. You think you can get my attention.”

Her tone turned mocking. “You think if Matthias breaks up with me, I’ll run to you? Keep dreaming.”

Alex was stunned. “Wow.”

“Now tell me,” Renata demanded, “that AI fake video—you generated it, didn’t you?”

“Well, I should apologize to you,” Alex said calmly. “First, I have no interest in you. Second, that video is real. Goodbye.”

He didn’t wait for Renata to respond. He ended the call.

Alex Saint-Claire shook his head, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.

That woman didn’t even realize she was being played.

Blinded. Completely blinded by love.
