"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

    Alexander I entered the room, calling out for Amelia, but she was nowhere to be found. A hint of confusion crept in as I approached the bathroom door and knocked. "Amelia, are you in there?" I asked, but the silence was my only response. I gently pushed the door open, and still, there was no sign of her.I made my way to the closet, my hand reaching for the handle. Just as I was about to open it, a soft frustrated voice drifted out from within."All my clothes are useless. I can't go to do party wearing any of this!" I hesitated, wondering if she was talking to herself, or if there was someone in there with her. "Hayley!" She exclaimed.Oh, Hayley!. Her best friend.She was on the phone to her, venting."How am I supposed to go with Alexander wearing the clothes I've been wearing for months?" I smiled, was she trying to impress me?I stepped away from the door and slipped out of the room, pulling out my phone as I went. I quickly dialled the number of my trusted stylist, knowing

    Amelia"Alexander," the sound of his name fell from my lips like a plea. I wasn't begging him to stop. No, I wanted him to have me.I pushed my face forward, inches from his, anticipating the touch of his lips on mine. But instead of meeting me halfway, he hesitated, his mouth hovering just above mine.Teasing?Yeah.His hands held me in place as he crushed his growing erection between my thighs, pushing my back against the wall. He let out a low groan, dropping his head to the curve of my neck, his hot breath caressed my skin, and he sucked on it.I breathed in shakingly.“Tell me to stop,” he whispered hoarsely as his lips slightly grazed my mouth. “Tell me to stop, Amelia.”I couldn't. My lips failed to move as I stood there, eager to taste his essence, even if it was for one night. Even if he was drunk and barely aware of what he was doing.I wanted him. I wanted him badly. There was no resistance from my side.Slowly, I put my hands into action, unbuttoning his shirt. Stepping o

    Alexander My eyes fluttered open and I was met with the serene sight of Amelia's face, sleeping peacefully. My hand instinctively reached out to cradle her cheek, my fingers tracing the gentle curves of her features and a soft smile spread across my face.I sat up, tossing the covers aside, and was met with the realization that I was completely naked.Holy shit! It wasn't a dream!What have I done? How do I explain this? I burst into the bathroom and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water envelop me as I stood there, lost in thought, reliving the events of the previous night.Glancing down at my right arm, I noticed the faint scratch marks, from fingernails I guess, a reminder of the passion we shared. The memory of her moaning my name, her voice trembling with pleasure, soon followed, flooding my mind.Was I regretting what had happened?We were both adults, right? It doesn't have to complicate anything. In less than 8 months she would be out of my life. What happened

    SeleneI had been living in Alexander's mansion for months. I tried everything to make sure Amelia got thrown out, but nothing worked. Instead, they got closer.He cooked for her! They now act like lovers. He even took her to Charlie's party last night. I can't lose Alexander, his wealth and everything that comes with him.I gaze at his picture until I fall asleep, every single night and my dream is filled with fantasies of him being right there with me.I think I might be in love with him! How can I have him when Amelia is very much still in the picture? I need to get her out before I completely lose my Alexander. I could use their closeness to my advantage. The one thing Alex and his grandfather hated more than anything was betrayal. I think no one in general likes that!Martins was a traditional man, he would love to keep his family reputation intact. If Amelia does any wrong, now that the world knows she's Alex's wife, then, even Alex won't be able to save her.I sat down in m

    Amelia I leaned my back against the door and threw my head back."Nothing!" I exclaimed aloud.He really said that to me? He followed me all the way to my office to tell me nothing?!I don't know why he had so much effect on me.I strode over to my desk, snatched up my phone, and quickly dialled Hayley's number. As soon as she picked up, I launched into a frustrated rant skipping pleasantries. "Alexander is so very annoying!" I exclaimed, my words tumbling out in a rush."Hi, girl," she said softly."Hi, Hay. Sorry to dive right in like this," I apologized."It's fine, that guy always pushes your buttons," she said with a chuckle."I know! And you won't believe what happened. We were intimate last night, and then this morning he..."But she cut me off before I could finish the story."What?!" She exclaimed her voice laced with a hint of excitement. "By intimate do you mean snuggling and kissing, or the actual thing?" She asked.I smiled slyly, "The actual thing," I said in a hushed

    Selene I stood there watching Amelia and Jeremy talk. Jeremy appeared nervous, like he was speaking with a sophisticated person. That bitch doesn't even look classy."Two martinis," the bartender announced, and I turned to face him as he slid the glasses across the counter towards me.I faked a smile, and his eyes drifted away from me, refocusing on the people before him.I glanced around swiftly, ensuring no one was paying attention to me. Everyone was engrossed in their own activities.I discreetly retrieved the powdered sedative from my small Gucci pouch and deftly added it to a martini glass. The substance dissolved instantly, leaving no visible trace.I passed the drink to Amelia and with a playful nudge I asked, "Wanna hit the dance floor?" I asked."No, no. I think I'll watch instead." She declined."Come on, don't be shy. I'm sure Jeremy here would be delighted to dance with you." I said, nodding towards Jeremy. Fool just stood there stuck in place. I should have just paid

    Amelia I stood in front of the full-length mirror, barely recognizing the woman staring back at me. The delicate lace of my wedding dress hugged my shoulders, trailing down in soft waves. My heart raced, not from nerves, but from an overwhelming sense of joy. Six months ago, I thought I might lose Alexander forever. But today, he was waiting for me at the end of the aisle, alive, strong, and still mine.“Amelia, you look breathtaking.” My mother’s voice broke through my thoughts as she stepped into the room. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.“Do you think he’ll like it?” I asked, my voice trembling with a mix of excitement and nervousness.She laughed softly. “Sweetheart, Alexander would be speechless if you showed up in a potato sack. But in this… you’ll take his breath away.”I smiled, blinking away my tears. “Thank you, Mom. For everything. For being here.”She took my hands in hers. “It’s my honour, Amelia. You’ve been through so much but look at you now. Today is about lov

    Alexander Two days ago“If my assets are what they want, they can have them,” I said, my voice heavy with frustration. “I won’t be able to live with myself if anything happens to Misty.”“What if they don’t release her after you give them everything?” Sarah asked, her arms crossed as she leaned against the wall.“She’s right,” Charlie added. “What if they… traffic her?”“They won’t. If I give them what they want, she’ll be fine.”“Let’s just call the cops,” Amelia said.“No cops!” I snapped. “I don’t want to upset them.”“Alex, this isn’t a movie. We can’t just keep this to ourselves and hope they don’t harm her.” Charlie added.I dragged my hands through my hair, the pressure in my chest was becoming unbearable. “Fuck!” The word exploded out of me. “I need to think.”I stormed into my study and slammed the door shut behind me. My vision blurred with anger as I stared at the cluttered desk. In a blind fury, I swept everything off it with one angry motion, sending papers, pens, and a

    Henry “It’s really working,” I said, unable to hide the hint of disbelief in my voice. My dad smirked. “Of course, it’s working. It’s my plan, Henry. It’s supposed to work. I trust all your doubts have been cleared now?” Selene chimed in, lounging against the wall with a smug grin. “I told you your dad was right. There are three people Alexander loves more than anything: his sister, Amelia, and their daughter.” My dad turned his cold gaze toward her. “I don’t know why you’re still here. Don’t you have something better to do?” Selene straightened. “Henry said it was okay for me to stay.” “Leave her alone, Dad,” I interjected. “She’s helped us. We’re all on the same side here.” “She helped you, not me.” He shot her a disdainful look. “This will all be over soon. What are you planning to do with Amelia?” “The same thing we plan on doing to her daughter.” Selene’s eyes widened slightly. “You’re going to kill both of them?” “Do you have a problem with that?” my dad asked sharply

    Alexander “It’s been two days,” Amelia said softly, her voice strained with worry. “The kidnapper hasn’t called. Let’s just go to the cops.”“No, we can’t. If we involve the police, they’ll kill her. We need to play it safe. I’ve already spoken to my lawyer—everything’s ready. We’ll give them what they want and get her back.”Amelia sank onto the edge of the bed. “I just… I wonder how Misty is doing.”“She’s fine,” I said, more to convince myself than her. “And as long as we play by their rules and do exactly what they say, she’ll stay fine.”Amelia looked down. “I hope so. She must hate us right now.”I frowned. “She wouldn’t hate us.”“Really? She said she wanted to come home, and we haven’t brought her home. Of course, she would hate us.”I sighed. “I bet she’s giving them a hard time. You know how stubborn she can be.”We both chuckled. Then Amelia sniffled, almost breaking into tears.“Hey,” I said softly, shaking my head. “Don’t.”Her eyes glistened with fresh tears. “What if i

    Alexander My heart clenched as I glanced at Sarah, then at Charlie, who stood stiffly by the window. Amelia was curled up in the armchair, her hands twisting the hem of her sweater, and her tear-streaked face buried in her knees.I was barely holding it together. My fists clenched at my sides as the police officer in the room delivered his report. “Henry is no longer a suspect,” he muttered. “What?” We said in unison, shock etched on our faces.“He came down to the station voluntarily this morning. We questioned him, and his alibi checked out. So we had to let him go.” The room fell into stunned silence. My pulse pounded in my ears, drowning out whatever he said next. “You let him go?” I snapped.The officer straightened slightly, his eyes narrowing as I took a step toward him. “You’re telling me that you just let him walk out? Are you serious?”“Mr. Smith,” the officer began. “There was no evidence—”“I don’t give a damn about the evidence!” I shouted. “Henry did this! He took

    Henry I watched as Selene walked in, her sharp eyes darting around, taking in the space. “Is this where you live now, Henry?” she asked, as she glanced at the cluttered shelves and dim lighting. I sighed, already regretting my decision to bring her here. “Don’t make me regret this.” She shrugged. “Fine, fine. I was just admiring your… man cave.” Her gaze swept the room again before landing on me. “So, where are the bugs?” I pointed to the small workstation set up near the wall. “Over here. I’ve got enough.” She walked over, and the moment her eyes landed on the equipment, she let out a low whistle. “Holy shit. This feels like one of those mafia movies.” “Mafias don’t use bugs, Selene,” I said, shaking my head. “Yeah? Well, maybe we’re like the FBI then. Or the CIA.” She grinned, clearly enjoying herself. I levelled her with a look. “We’re just regular people, okay? Let’s not get carried away.” Her attention shifted to the table where a few guns were laid out. She pointed to

    Amelia “We shouldn’t be out here, Hay,” I muttered.“Come on,” Hayley said, brushing off my concern. “Misty wanted to come here. Besides, you guys have been cooped up inside for days now.”“I told Alexander we’d stay at your house,” I said, glancing around nervously.“It’s only going to be a couple of minutes. Let Misty enjoy a little freedom. Look at her.” Hayley gestured toward Misty, who was laughing and playing with the other kids. “She’s so happy. We’ll be out of here soon.”I followed her gaze and saw Misty chasing a ball with a wide grin on her face. My heart softened just a little. “I guess you’re right,” I admitted.“Amelia,” Hayley whispered, nudging me.“What?” I asked, looking at her.“Look at that hot dad over there,” her voice was barely audible.“Hayley, stop it. You have Daniel,” I said, rolling my eyes.“That doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate a hot, sexy man when I see one,” she replied with a sly smile.I chuckled, shaking my head, and turned away.

    Alexander“Hey,” her voice cut softly through the haze of my sleep.My eyes fluttered open to find her sitting on the edge of the bed, her hair tousled and a playful smirk tugging at her lips. “Good morning, darling,” I murmured, leaning forward to place a kiss on her lips. My fingers brushed her cheek as I pulled back. “How was your night?”She raised a brow. “You mean after you kept me awake for hours working on my body?”A chuckle rumbled from my chest as I propped myself up on my elbow. “I call that productive use of time.”“Productive?” she repeated, rolling her eyes dramatically. “You’ve got quite the definition of productivity, Alexander.”I reached out, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her back down onto the bed. She squealed in protest, but her laughter betrayed her enjoyment.“You didn’t seem to mind last night,” I teased, my lips brushing against her ear.Her cheeks flushed. “You’re impossible, you know that?”“And yet, here you are,” I said, smirking as I tigh

    Selene “Hey, girl,” I said, standing up and rushing to hug Sarah as soon as she walked in. I wrapped my arms tightly around her. “I’m so sorry for what happened.”“It’s okay, Selene. It wasn’t your fault. You saw the signs and tried to warn me. I just wasn’t paying attention.”I pulled back slightly, holding her by the shoulders. “I knew that son of a bitch was up to something,” I muttered.She sighed and moved past me to sit on the couch. “I wish I wasn’t so blinded by love.”“Has he been found?” I asked, walking over to sit beside her. “Do they know where he is?”Sarah shook her head. “I don’t know. Alexander has people looking for him.”“So, they don’t know where he is,” I said flatly.“Yeah,” she confirmed. “All I know is that he’s out there somewhere, and I just hope Alexander’s people find him.”“What…” I hesitated for a moment, then asked. “what will Alex do to him when he finds him?”“I don’t know. But you know how Alexander is. Whatever he has planned for Henry won’t be good
