Chapter 24*Scarlett's POV*"Shit" I cursed when he began ramming inside me, our skin slapping against each other and I held on to the headboard for support while he thrusted into me more deeply.As much as I want to hold him, dig my fingers into his skin, I don't think I'm allowed to do so.I felt his warm tongue on my nipple as he thrusted into me and I cursed at how heavenly his mouth felt on my skin."Shit.. arrgh" I gasped when he suddenly pulled out and slammed into me at once."Faster..."

Chapter 25*Scarlett's POV*I tried, I seriously tried to concentrate, but it was nearly impossible. Alexander had finished his conversation with Katrina, and now he acted as if nothing had happened, calmly taking his seat. However, I couldn't stop the thoughts from swirling in my mind, replaying their conversation and the softness in his voice that I had never heard before, at least not when he spoke to me.Does he love her? I couldn't say for sure, as I couldn't seem to read him properly. But didn't he tell me that she was just a fling?

And yet, here he was, speaking to her with a tenderness that I had never witnessed.Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I mustered up the courage to confront him.

Chapter 26*Scarlett's POV*The time had come to go home, and despite Alexander's text asking us to leave earlier, I didn't want to go home with him. So, I hailed a cab and headed straight home."Mom!" My children ran to me as soon as I stepped inside. Oh, how much I missed them.I kissed them on their cheeks, suddenly feeling like a bad mom as I realized how distant I had been. It wasn't just about my relationship with Alexander; it had been like this ever since I started my new job. I had been neglecting them.It had been a month since we moved into this new house, and I was glad to see how happy they were here. They were also enjoying their new school, which Tonia had enrolled them in since their previous school was far away."Mom, you've been working really late these days," Riley said, and I smiled sadly."Yes, I have, and I'm really sorry about that," I said, gently patting her hair.

I watched his expression, searching for any signs of jealousy or regret, but his face remained stoic, unreadable.Alexander released his grip on my arm, a flicker of emotion crossing his features. "I see," he muttered, his gaze dropping to the floor. There was a palpable tension between us, the weight of unspoken words hanging heavily in the air.Not wanting to prolong the interaction, I decided to take control of the situation.
