"Sarah! In trouble? What makes you think that?" I asked, shocked.

"I overheard her on the phone with someone, and It sounded like she was being blackmailed. Plus, I had this terrible dream... I don't know, I just feel like she's in trouble or something."

I tried to get out of bed, but her hand held me back.

"Where are you going to?" She whispered.

"I need to know who the bastard trying to extort money from my sister is."

"This is why I didn't want to tell you and maybe this could also be why she didn't say anything to you either. Don't just react angrily, this is a sensitive situation. You can figure it out without her knowing that you know about it."

I took a deep breath. "Okay. That makes sense. I won't ask her anything."

"Good. Wait till daybreak."

"Anything else you heard?"

"Just that she was going to deliver money to the person today."

That means the bastard collects cash. Alright then, I might just need to tail Sarah when she leaves today.

    Alexander I turned to see Sarah standing on the other side. I looked around, expecting to see a man but there was no man there. "Alexander, how did you....." Sarah stuttered. I turned back to the woman in the room with Sarah. The same piercing green eyes, the same wild curls that always seemed to have a life of its own. No fucking way! I couldn't believe my eyes. She was standing before me. My so-called mother! It was a face I thought I would never see again, a face that was supposed to be gone forever. My expression darkened, "What is she doing here?" I demanded, pointing towards the figure. "Is she the one who's been blackmailing you?" Sarah's brow furrowed in confusion, "Blackmailing me? I never mentioned anything about blackmail." "Alexander, baby." She cooed, her eyes fixed on me as she walked towards me. "Don't you dare! Do not come close to me." I bellowed as I aimed the gun squarely at her. "Alexander! Put the gun down!" Sarah screamed at the top of

    SeleneAlexander and Amelia left the dining room, and I turned to Martins, "What do you think, Martins?"Martins raised an eyebrow, "About what exactly.""Alexander and Amelia. They seem to be growing closer, even after she lost the baby. He even cooked for her." I said, irritated."I think Alexander is just trying to be considerate because of what happened."I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his response. "So, does this mean you like her now?" "No, Selene." He replied quickly. "You're still my choice." I scoffed, "Who knows? Maybe she intentionally had the miscarriage because she knew the baby wasn't his. And if she had kept it, he would find out eventually. I'm sure she was scared of what Alexander might do to her if he learnt the truth." "I said the exact same thing to Alexander, but he seemed to be clouded by emotions." He said, shaking his head."She probably has him wrapped around her fingers."He shrugged, "We'll see how long it lasts. Alexander will eventually snap out of i

    Amelia I arrived at the mansion and pulled back into the driveway. I caught sight of Selene and Dean talking.I stayed in the car, my eyes fixed on Selene and Dean's conversation. I could only see their mouths moving, but I couldn't hear them.I leaned in, straining my ears trying to pick up even the faintest whisper but the wind blocked out any sound.Selene's hands were gesturing towards the cars. Dean's expression was serious, he shook his head, his lips forming a "no".I waited until Selene turned and walked away. I think she saw me as she was leaving. I stepped out of the car and approached Dean. "Hey, is everything alright?"He nodded, "Yes ma'am.""What did she want?" I asked curtly."She just wanted to know which of the cars the boss will be taking to work tomorrow."I turned my head scanning the cars parked there. "What did you say to her?" "I told her to ask the boss." "Okay, take care," I said before walking out and into the mansion. "I wonder what she's up to this tim

    Amelia Alexander already has a lot on his plate right now, telling him about Selene's suspicious act would only add to it.I pushed the room door open, "You're fully dressed and ready." I said, walking into the room."Yes, Amelia. Is there something you want from me?" He asked."Actually, there is," I replied."What is it?" "Which car will you be driving today?" He raised an eyebrow, "Car? Why are you suddenly interested in that?" "Just answer," I insisted."Well, I've instructed Dean to get the Aston Martin ready for me.""Can I take it out instead?" "You can't be serious!" He exclaimed. "Of course, I am."He stared at me, "Amelia, that's the car I want to drive today. And by the way what makes you think you can drive it? Have you ever seen an Aston Martin before let alone driven one?"I smiled sweetly, "Of course, I know what an Aston Martin looks like. I'm not completely clueless, you know.""Really? Then what's the model of the car you're so eager to drive?"I hesitated for

    Amelia Was he watching me? How did he know I was here?"Oh God, I forgot," I muttered under my breath. I Rubbed my forehead, my eyes cast down in dismay.I'd completely forgotten he had someone keeping an eye on her!"Are you okay, Amelia?" She asked, gently tilting her head to get a better look at my face, her hand reaching out to touch my arm.""I have to go now. I'll see what I can do but I'm not promising you it would work." I stood up from the seat and was about to leave but she held my hand. "Please, Amelia," she implored, her voice trembling. "I know I may not deserve another chance, but I'm begging you... I did try to see them, I swear. I was imprisoned for two months when I attempted to visit them at school."She looked at me with pleading eyes, her grip on my hand tightening. "Maybe I gave up too easily, but I can't keep living knowing that my child despises me because of the lies his father planted in his head about me. Please, I want to be a part of their lives."As I ga

    Alexander "If you two want to continue arguing, then take it up to your room. I can hear your voices echoing through the walls of my room." Pa Martins said, slightly annoyed. "What is the argument about, anyway?""It's Victoria," I replied.He raised an eyebrow, "Victoria? Which of the Victoria?" "My father's wife." I specified."Why are you both arguing about her?" He asked."She's back and saying a lot of untrue things"His eyes widened slightly, "You mean she's back in New York City?" I nodded, confirming, "Yes, Pa."He let out a deep sigh, followed by a brief silence before he spoke up. "Come with me." He said, his voice tinged with unease.I glanced at Amelia, who remained frozen in one place, before following Pa Martins. He hastened to his study with me trailing behind."There are certain things that you are not aware of, son." He said, opening the door to his study and walking in. "Your father did a lot of things that I did not agree with." He removed a key from his desk dr

    Alexander "Mom!" I screamed, my voice lost in the chaos. "Excuse me, excuse me!" I pushed forward, my eyes fixed on the stretcher as it was loaded into the ambulance. I had to get to her. I had to know if she was lying on that stretcher. The crowd seemed to close in around me, a sea of faces blurring together as I struggled to break through.I elbowed my way past a bystander, my heart racing with every step. The officer's grip on my arm tightened, but I shook him off."MOM!!" I screamed again, my voice raw and desperate.The paramedics slammed the ambulance doors shut, and I lunged forward, my hands slapping against the metal. I was too late. They were taking her away from me, and I didn't even know if she was alive.I spun around, my eyes locking onto the officer's face. "Tell me if it's her!" I demanded, "Please, you have to tell me!""Sir, I need you to step back and let us do our job." The officer said.I stood there, frozen in despair, as the ambulance disappeared into the dis

    Amelia "The brakes were damaged!" I blurted out, my eyes wide with shock."Yes, Amelia. Isn't it strange how you instructed Dean to have it checked out without even driving it?" He asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.I knew Selene was up to no good when I saw her fiddling with the car.But the brakes? Was she trying to get him killed or something?The thought sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at Alexander, uncertain whether to share this with him or keep it to myself.Poor guy just rekindled with his mother. I'll deal with Selene myself."Well, I did notice something was wrong with the car when I tried driving it. I just didn't know what it was, so I asked Dean to get the mechanic to take a look." I lied."Hmmm." He grunted. "Alright, I'll be downstairs.""I'll join you in a bit," I replied, watching as he turned and left the room.I rose from the bed and made my way to Selene's room. I rapped my knuckles against the door, the sound echoing through the silent hallway. The door

    Amelia "Does Alexander plan on missing his sister's wedding?" Victoria whispered in my ear, her voice tight with concern.I shook my head quickly. "No, he said he would be here."Her brow furrowed as she glanced at the door, then back at me. "Then where is he? The ceremony has already started. He's supposed to walk Sarah down the aisle. Have you called him?"I felt a pang of unease in my chest. No, I hadn’t called him. But I should have."I forgot my phone in the car," I muttered."Please, find a way to reach him. If he doesn’t get here soon, his grandfather will have to take his place. We can’t keep waiting for him.""Alright." "Alright," I replied, though a knot tightened in my stomach.Alexander was never late. He should’ve been here by now. What if something had happened to him?I pushed the thought aside, trying to shake off the rising unease. With a shaky breath, I pulled my key from my pocket to unlock the car but froze when I saw a strange man in black jeans and a leather

    AlexanderI burst into the room, my heart racing. "Fuck man, we have to get out of here now!" I exclaimed.Charlie looked up at me, his eyes filled with concern. "What happened?" he asked, struggling against the restraints that bound him to the chair.I scanned the room frantically, searching for an alternate escape route. "Is there another way out of this house? A back door, maybe?"Charlie shook his head. "Dude, I've been tied up for days. I don't even know where we are.""Fuck, fuck." I muttered a string of curses under my breath, pacing back and forth across the room. We had to get out, and fast."Your 'get- me- out-of- here' plan not working, huh?" he quipped, a small smile played on his face.I halted my frantic pacing, my eyes locking onto Charlie's grinning face. Irritation simmered beneath my surface."Wipe that fucking grin off your face, Charlie," I growled. "This isn't a joke. There's a man at the door, and I think he's here to take you out. If we don't get out of here no

    Alexander I let out a sigh of relief as Sarah finally answered my call. "Hello, my handsome brother," her voice slurred through the line.I rolled my eyes. I'd been waiting for what felt like an eternity for her to pick up, and now I was met with her drunk chatter."I've called more than a hundred times, Sarah.""Really? Why, Alexander? Do you want to join my party?" Sarah's voice was laced with a playful giggle. "We are short of strippers. I mean, I have no interest in seeing your body... eww... but my friends seem to think that you're hot and sexy."I placed my hand on my forehead, shaking it in dismay. How was I supposed to have a serious conversation with my drunk sister? "No, I don't want to strip or be a stripper in your party. I called you for something more important.""You want to be among my bridesmaids?" she asked.I tried to steer the conversation back on track, but Sarah's drunken haze seemed to warp her understanding. I sighed inwardly. "No, Sarah. Do you remember wh

    Alexander I steered my car out of the driveway, my phone pressed to my ear. "Hey, James, I need Mr. Thompson's address," I said, my voice clear and urgent.There was a brief pause before James responded, "Henry Thompson?""No, James. I don't mean Henry. I want the home address of Mr Thompson. Henry's father." I clarified."Oh, I don't have it but I could make a few calls." "Hurry up with the calls, I'm driving without a destination," I said navigating through the quiet street."Alright. Hold on." James instructed softly, placing me on hold.I drummed my fingers impatiently on the steering wheel, waiting for James to return with the information.I wasn't ashamed to admit that I was paranoid. I had to make sure my unsettling thoughts were at ease.My thoughts shifted to Amelia and a smile spread across my face. The look on her face when she asked If I was going to lock someone up. I couldn't tell her where I was going. She would have reminded me of how paranoid I was."Sir?" James' vo

    Amelia"You should reconsider going to the bachelor's party." I turned to Alexander. He raised an eyebrow."It might be fun." I teased."I'm sure it will be, but it's not for me." His expression remained unconvinced.I knew there was nothing I could do to make him go."There might be strippers," I said with a hint of mischief in my voice."Since when have I cared about things like that? I'm not going." His unwavering stance wasn't surprising. Alexander's priorities lay elsewhere, and frivolous entertainment didn't align with his character."You could start now," I said playfully. "Some men go crazy over things like that. And it's a bachelor party. I wouldn't be upset if you indulged in harmless flirting or touch a few asses. As long as it's the only thing you would be doing." He smirked. "What if it's not the only thing I want to be doing? Touching ass only," He shook his head. "is no fun at all." My brows shot up. "Ass touching is not fun?

    AlexanderI was startled as Amelia's sleepy gaze snapped open. Her husky voice cut through the silence."Alexander, what are you doing sitting up?" she asked gruffly.I hesitated before answering. "Just going over the document that was delivered last night.""You left me alone just to do that? Can't it be done later?" Her displeasure deepened.I reached for her hand. "I'm still beside you, Am. I didn't leave."Her words remained laced with displeasure. "You're sitting, not lying down. You're supposed to be holding me now, not going through some document."My fingers intertwined with hers, and I offered a gentle smile. "It's a very important thing. Not that you're not important. You're more important." I leaned forward to give her a kiss. Our lips touched and I pulled back.Her mouth formed a pout as she tugged my hand. "Then come back to bed and hold me." "Give me a few minutes," I replied.A playful groan escaped her lips. "Urrrg, Alexander.""Am, I have to do this now. This is abou

    CharlieI slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. But something was off. My vision was obscured, shrouded in darkness. I tried to lift my head, but a searing pain shot through my temples, making me wince. What happened? Where was I? What's all this?As I struggled to recall, I realized something covered my head, blocking my sight. Panic set in. I tried moving, but my wrists and ankles wouldn't budge. They were tied to a chair.Fear crept up my spine. I shook my head trying to get the cover off my face. "Fuck!" I groaned out in frustration as the cover refused to get off.Memories flooded back – I was in my home, drinking, trying to numb my pain then... I blacked out. Did someone attack me? Was I drugged? How long have I been here?My heart raced, and I tugged at the restraints. Useless. Anxiety suffocated me. Where was I? Who did this?"Is anyone there!" I shouted, but my voice was muffled by the covering. "Can anyone hear me? Where am I? What is this about?

    Alexander Amelia reached for a bar of soap and began gently gliding it across my abs. I felt a shiver run down my spine as her hand delicately traced the contours of my chest. My body stirred with anticipation, desire coursing through my veins. I felt her soapy hand wrap around my bicep, sending tremors of excitement through me. My cock was aroused and I couldn't help but surrender to the raw desire building inside me. "You have strong arms," she whispered softly. "Yeah. Too many workouts." I muttered trying so hard to keep myself from flipping her around. My eyes were fixed on her soft pink lips as she continued rubbing my arms. She lifted her head to meet my gaze and I pressed my lips to hers immediately without waiting for her to tease me with it. Touching my body was teasing enough. Our lips melded together, and our tongues danced in perfect sync. I grabbed her breasts and gently squeezed them. A soft moan escaped her mouth. My whole body burned with desire. I broke t

    Alexander "Where the hell is he?" I muttered under my breath as I stepped out of his club. I’d checked all three of his spots, but he was nowhere to be found. Nobody seemed to know his whereabouts or remembered the last time they saw him.Well, except for a drunk who mumbled something about Charlie going out with a hooker. But I couldn't put any stock in the ramblings of someone in that state.I slid back into my car and drove back to the house, my phone rang as I pulled out of the sidewalk. I answered immediately, hoping it was Charlie. "You can’t just bail on me after agreeing to meet," I snapped, irritation creeping into my voice."I believe you’re not referring to me, Alex," a familiar voice replied from the other end.Shit.It wasn’t Charlie; it was my grandfather. I had been dodging his calls for weeks."Hi, Pa," I said, bracing myself for his rant.He scoffed, "Where are you?" He asked coldly."I'm in the office," I replied."What a nice lie." He shot.
