"How did you…Alright, spill it, Alexander. How the hell did you know about me and Evelyn?" Kyle's eyes narrowed with suspicion.
Alexander, leaning back in his chair, gave a nonchalant shrug. "Oh, you know, secrets have a way of floating around. Evelyn approached me recently, and had some questions about you."
"About me? What kind of questions?" Kyle asked angrily.
Alexander smirked. "The usual stuff. She wanted to dig into your mysterious side and find out what makes Kyle tick. I figured, why not help a friend?"
Kyle's surprise was evident. "Evelyn approached you for info about me? Since when are you two buddy-buddy?"
Alexander chuckled, taking a sip of his drink. "Buddy-buddy might be a stretch, but we're not exactly enemies. Besides, she played the Sophia card."
"The Sophia card?" Kyle raised an eyebrow. "What does that even mean?"
Alexander leaned in, his voice lowered. "She told me

The moment Sophia and Evelyn hit Las Vegas, it was like stepping into a whole new world. Even before they reached the hotel, they had decided that today would be a day of fun. Tomorrow they would embark on the maddening task of tracking down Kyle's cousin. They checked into this swanky hotel that was practically a slice of luxury heaven. Plush beds, panoramic views, and amenities made you question if you were still on Earth or had accidentally entered the lap of opulence. Sophia couldn't resist doing a little happy dance as she entered the room. Sophia, with a huge grin, pointed at the king-sized bed. "Evelyn, look at this! We're practically swimming in comfort. This trip was a great idea." Evelyn, equally thrilled, plopped down on the bed, bouncing a bit. "Right? I could get used to this." The hotel had a beautiful view, too – the whole city sprawled out below them like a sparkling carpet. They spent a good chunk of time just chilling on the balcony,

"What's wrong?" Sophia inquired, a playful smile on her lips. Evelyn, still chuckling, replied, "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice that you've been saved not once but twice by a man named Alexander. I just couldn't resist making the connection." Sophia shook her head, joining in the laughter. "That was just my luck." Sandro, who had been casually walking alongside them, decided to join the banter. "I'm actually half Italian, so my name is spelled with two S's. That way, it'll be easier for you to distinguish between us." So

Sophia teased.”I think he should have told me the information himself. He may be a journalist, but I can dig up information myself if I need it.“

The door swung open with a force that signaled the entry of trouble. A man, dressed in all black, strutted into the restaurant. His presence sent a shiver down the spines of the diners, the air thickening with an ominous tension. He was a mountain of a man, draped in a leather jacket that seemed to cling to his intimidating frame. His face, etched with scars and adorned with a scruffy beard, was a canvas of menace. A pair of cold, calculating eyes scanned the room, making the patrons uneasy. The thug's mere appearance was a statement, a declaration that trouble had just stepped into the cozy eatery. The man wasted no time; he approached Lisa with an air of arrogance. "Close this place down. Vacate the premises," he commanded, his words dripping with a threatening undertone. Lisa stands in front of the man and crosses her arms in front of her chest. “It won't do. Stop showing up uninvited,” she scolds him. He laughs loudly in front of her. " You can't

As soon as Megan left Alexander's office he sighed. Conversations with Megan always put a strain on him, and he doesn't know how long he can push her away without her having a problem with it. Alexander texted Kyle that he was waiting for him in his office to talk. Not long after, the journalist entered his office with a big smile. "Hey, boss man, what's up?" Kyle greeted, plopping down in a chair across from Alexander's desk. Alexander leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled. "Cut the small talk, Kyle. What's the deal with the investigation? Do you learn something?" Kyle scratched his head, a sheepish smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, about that. I've started poking around the core business, but digging up the real dirt is gonna be a bit of a slow burn." Alexander leaned forward, his expression serious. "Time is of the essence, Kyle. We need to wrap this up quickly. What's the holdup?" Kyle shrugged, "You know how these things go.
