He’d heard her fight with Wade and watched her stroll alone by the river, her eyes clouded with sadness as she looked at a happy family.

She looked like a fierce animal, but deep down, she carried pain no one else could see.

Only at night could she hide away and quietly patch up her wounds.

Tilda had this mysterious, magnetic pull about her, like a flower that only blooms when it’s dark.

Just like Jude–they were the same kind of people.

From the very first time he saw her, Jude had felt it.

Now he was sure.

Tilda glanced at the man standing in the shadows–his whole vibe screamed proud and untouchable.

Danger!

This man is pure danger.

Her instincts wouldn’t stop shouting at her.

But there was also something about him that felt oddly familiar–exactly like what Jude was feeling about her.

Why?

In my whole life, no one but the Jensons has ever made me feel like this.

“Who are you?”

Tilda kept her voice steady.

Jude stepped forward out of the dark.

First thing she saw–polished leather shoes. Then long legs in sharp, tailored pants.

He wore no jacket, just a neat blue shirt.

The blue and black set off his face perfectly–so refined and artistic, no words could really describe him.

His looks went beyond anything you could find in a dictionary.

Tilda thought he might be the most handsome, most noble man she’d ever laid eyes on.

He was dignified. Distant. Proud.

Even she was caught off guard.

Chapter 13 Jude Marked Tilda

“Jude Bell.”

He gave his name without hesitation.

“You’re Jude Bell?!”

Everyone in Slosa knew that name and what it meant.

He was the CEO of DY Group, the youngest head of the Bells.

He ran the whole company and doubled profits every year!

He’d even made Forbes‘ global list–the youngest CEO ever to do it.

Most men on that list were in their 60s or older.

Tilda had heard the rumors.

He had cold, ruthless methods, but he always covered his tracks so well that no one could trace them. Cross him, and you’d suffer worse than death.

She didn’t doubt it for a second.

A man with this kind of chilling nobility was someone even she had to be careful with.

If this is the legendary Jude, everything makes sense.

But… why would someone this dangerous be here?

“The one watching you from the fourth floor of Nightshade Bar–that was me. I’m guessing you noticed.”

Seeing her look puzzled, Jude explained casually.

“I see …”

No wonder that stare set off all my alarms.

“Why would a big shot like you follow me? You’re not like those creeps, are you?”

Tilda started to take a step back, eyes searching for a way out.

Giving up wasn’t in her plan for this second life.

But this man was way too dangerous.

Sometimes the smartest move was to run.

She had no clue what Jude’s real motive was.

“Are you an Omega–type?”

His question froze her in place.

“I don’t know what you mean.”

“Yes, you do. And you just gave yourself away. You’re an Omega–type.

“And so am I. You should’ve caught my scent by now.”

Caught, Tilda didn’t bother to deny it.

Someone like Jude could dig up her past without even trying.

“So? Mr. Bell, what do you want?”

“I want to sign a contract with you. I want you to sleep with me.”

Her eyebrow twitched.

What he said… it sounds almost exactly like the job Andy told me about.

Could this be the guy posting contracts looking for Omega–types on the dark web?
