After coming out of the captain's office, Liam walked toward his desk to see his partner completely focused on whatever she was looking at. He got curious and dragged the paper toward his side. "What are you looking at?"

"No." She immediately stopped it from moving further. "It's just something." She said, trying to cover the content on it.

Liam's eyes met something familiar. He removed her hand and raised it to look at it. His brows were furrowed at the content on it, then he stared at her. "How did you come across this?"

She shook her head, lowering it. "It's nothing."

He dropped it back on the table and tilted his head at her. "Emily, how did you come across it?" He repeated.

She gulped and looked at him. "It's just... I'm... I'm only helping a friend." She confessed. "She was wrongly accused of infidelity, it cost her her marriage but she was innocent."

"Is this friend Elena Miller?"

She gaped. "How did you know that?"

Liam nodded. "Why wouldn't I? I have a friend named Alexander

    It's been a week now, and Elena and her kids already arrived at Alex's mansion. She chuckled as there was no change, everything pretty much the same. The chandeliers, the sofas, every single thing was how she left it. She smiled seeing as a kids ran around chuckling as they look around the place. "Ok, stop running, alright." She had to caution. She averted her gaze from her kids toward Alex who was standing beside her as he held her hand with a smile on his face."I'm happy, Ella." He said, truthfully.Elena nodded and faced him. "I know. It's still weird but I'm happy too."He faced her and took her other hand. "So, which means you wouldn't mind marrying me again? To...to wear my ring back on your finger to shoo those horny boys away...right?"Elena chuckled. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind...""Why do I feel like there's a but coming?" He figured.She looked at him in admiration. "I just...I'm scared. What if the person who tried to break us apart finds out I'm back here?""Whatever plan the

    Emily sighed, getting frustrated since she hasn't been able to find anything suspecting about Fiona. She kept someone on her tail to give her updates on where exactly Fiona goes apart from work and all she could get was the mall, grocery stores, convenience stores, and a bar, although she was told she frequented the bar at exactly four, so now she's outside her boutique shop waiting for when Fiona comes out so she can know who or what she always does in a bar.As she patiently waited for Fiona to come out, Alas she did. She made sure she was out of sight and watched as Fiona got into her car and drove off. Then she started her engine and followed covertly.They drove passed intersections til they got to very busy street where things are sold, and people walking around, it was noisy.They drove at a slow pace and cornered left, then Fiona pulled the car into a curb. She looked around causing Emily to bend out of sight and she watched as Fiona walked into an alleyway.She put her face c

    Alex arrived at Elena's father's house and knocked on the door even though he knew he won't be getting any reply. He used the spare key he took from Elena which thankfully she still has and unlocked the door. It opened and he entered, locking it behind him.He looked around, and slid his hand on a table, seeing the dust on his hand which made it obvious that no one has been living in the house in a while. He walked up the stairs, toward the room that belongs to Elena's mother and opened it, thankful the door wasn't locked.He looked around, searching for anything he could get that could be of help to him. He walked toward her dressing table and opened the drawers, his brows furrowed as he realized her things were still intact. It made him wonder where she went without carrying anything that belongs to her.He picked a brush containing strands of her hair and put it in black nylon. He took a glance around the room one more time, sighed, and walked out.He came out of the house, locked

    Elena woke up to another brand new day. Her eyes met the blinds of the window still closed, but there was still sun streaming a bit out of it. She sat up from the bed, looking at the time. It was eight in the morning.She sighed, knowing Alex already left for work again, taking the kids with him to their new school. Thankfully, those kids haven't caused any problems whatsoever.These days she's been finding it hard to catch him going to work, although he says he wakes her up before he goes but she just never remembers and she hated it.The doorknob clicked, causing her heart to skip a beat, then her brow raised as she saw Alex walking in with his face focused on his phone. He was dressed casually. White T-shirt and black trousers. It confused her.He looked away from his phone to see she was finally awake. "Hey, sleepy head. Good morning." He greeted her with a smile on his face and sat on the bed, facing her. "How was your sleep? I bet it was fine.""You're not dressed for work today

    Elena came down the stairs, all dressed up to oversee what was going on in the new building she's gonna be starting her restaurant. It was perfect. She loved the area, the building, but then why wouldn't it be when it was Alex himself that found it?She was inwardly happy he was making do with his promises. Remembering then, when it felt like he could hit his chest and swore she was never gonna do anything relating to work. He didn't want her to be involved in things, or better yet, meet people, especially men. He just wanted her home.She begged and begged, but his words is always final. Nothing can change his mind when it's already stamped.But now, this time he doesn't have any choice but to adhere to her want. It made her happy to get what she wanted.Although, one thing still bothered her. It was what Alex told her about his mom not being her biological mom. He said, he just felt the need to find out due to her mom's behavior toward her and he got the truth.It baffled her. It g

    Cora blinked at the unexpected information she received on the phone. Confusion clouded her whole being. It sounded too good to be true. "Are you serious about that?""Yeah, madam. I traced him and discovered he arrived in the country not too long ago."Cora furrowed her brows, curiosity peppered her forehead. "Did you get why?""Unfortunately, no I didn't. They said he came for business and that's it."Cora sighed shakily, trying to take it all in. "Wow. This is unbelievable. I wanna know where I can meet him.""Of course, I'll...""Who are you talking to?"Cora's heart fearfully skipped, and she immediately cut the call. She turned to look at the person who asked, giving her a straight unaffected face. "It's none of your business, Fiona."Fiona shrugged. "Indeed, it isn't. You just seem like someone who's hiding something."Cora gave her a short laugh. "You're just overthinking things. Why don't we get straight to why we're here.""You were the one delaying." Fiona countered and cat

A woman he loved and still loves.Elena's resemblance to his wife was uncanny.He sighed and poured himself a glass of beer, taking a sip from it, his face contorted at the feeling he got as he gulped it.Since he couldn't stop thinking about her, he had to investigate her.

His voice sounded serious.Xander equally nodded with a serious expression. "Yes."Alex looked at Amy who stood as referee. "Are you ready too?"Amy nodded. "Yes, daddy."Alex looked back at Xander.

"I've told you, Jaguar, bring him to me instead. How hard could that be?""Well, boss, it wouldn't be due to friendly conversation. If I'm gonna bring him here, it will be out of duress. I just wanna be sure if that's what you want."The boss gave him a blank look, his mind going to different places as he pondered on the statement, then he let out a wry chuckle. "I need information from him, Jaguar. He's the only way right now to know what's going on out there.

    It was late at night, Alex and Elena were lying on the bed with Alex facing the ceiling and Elena's head and hand placed on his body. It was quiet for a while, especially since he has things to think about.Not just their impending problem but there is also work. He just couldn't wait to clear the danger out of his family so they can just peacefully live."Are you awake?" He asked."No," Elena answered, her head still on his chest, counting the steady beats of his heart."There's something important I want to talk to you about."Elena furrowed her brows in curiosity and rose her head up to look at him. "About what?""He looked at her. " I uh, I found your dad."Her eyes widened and she sat up. "What?"He nodded and equally sat up. "Yeah. I found him.""Who...who is he?" She quickly asked, needing an urgent answer."My godfather, Brian Jordan. I'm sure you've met him."Elena blinked and looked away, remembering the man. She swallowed as she kept thinking about him like his image was go

    Brian entered the coffee shop and spotted Alex so focused on his tablet. He's been wondering what serious conversation Alex wanted to lay on the table. He knew everything with Alex was serious.He walked toward the table and sat down. "So, I'm here."Alex dropped the tablet on the table and looked at him. He wanted to hit the nail on the head. "The last time we talked, I told you about someone who seems to be after your daughters. I told you I know you know who is after them."Brian grimaced, looking confused. "Yeah, but I didn't get it.""Who took your girls away from you?" Alex questioned.Brian sighed. "It was someone I know who has a vendetta against me. Although there was no evidence to prove it, I know he kidnapped my children.""Who is he then?" Alex inquired."Jacob Jefferson. Once a friend, then he became an enemy."Alex bobbed his head, digesting his words. "Jacob Jefferson. He's the boss.""What boss?""The mastermind. The reason why everything happened.

    Alex alighted out of his car and hurriedly walked toward his porch since he knows Elena was there waiting for her. As he arrived, she immediately pulled him into a hug. "You're here at last. I've been waiting."Alex nodded, caressing her back. "I know." He pulled her away a little so he could look at her. "Are you okay, though?""I'm terrified, Alex. They said those people were after me. Someone died, why the hell are these things happening?" She anxiously replied.Alex shook his head. "Still figuring things out, really. It had to have been the main mastermind behind it. I just don't know why he's after you. Soon I will though."Elena sighed. "Okay. Let's...let's go in. You should freshen up too. The kids will soon be back from school."Alex nodded. "Okay." They walked in, holding hands, then his phone buzzed.He stopped in his tracks as he saw it was a message from his brother."What's it?" Elena asked him."Andrew sent me a message.

    Elena smiled at the cashier as her goods were given to her. "Thanks." She said, taking it and leaving the grocery store.The bags were immediately taken by the guards Alex placed for her protection. "Let's hold them for you." One of them said and the other took them.Elena smiled and nodded.A call on her phone made her stop and she took it. "Hello, who's this?""It's your assistant, ma'am. I'm wondering how long you'll be back with the groceries. You could have just let me do the job."Elena chuckled, taking slow steps. "I guess. That will be after I slowly get used to getting someone to buy my groceries. I'm already out though, I'm just going to my car.""Okay."Elena nodded and hung the call-up. She looked at one of the guards. "The car?""Henry is bringing it." The guard informed.Elena nodded and stood as she waited.Just as immediately, she instinctively ducked and yelped at the sound of a gunshot hitting the glass doors. "Oh, God." She gasped as the gunshot kept coming."Ma'am,

    Cora phoned Brian excessively but nothing and it bothered her. She wondered why he was ignoring her and it infuriated her.She sucked from a straw the coffee she ordered and leaned back against the chair. Looking at the door at any sudden chime of the bell expecting Brian to walk in.She sighed since deep down she knew he won't come. She messaged him too but of course, he should also not give a damn about her messages.She shudder to wonder why he was being that way toward her or did he find out things about her. Did he investigate who she is and ended up left in the lurch? It had to have been the circumstance.She groaned realizing she was failing. It's not as if she lied that much. What rotten thing is there to dig up about her?Or did he get tired? Did he get fed up or he just doesn't want to involve himself with another woman since according to him, his heart is forever for his wife? She cringed at that thought.She's gonna have to come up with something else and this time, she ca

He dropped it down and took his phone, screening out his father's name then he made a call.After two rings. "Hello, dad.""Alex. You hardly call except if it's something important. What's up?" Robert asked."I need to speak to godfather. It's something important.""Is it what I think it is?" Robert asked again.Alex nodded. "Yeah. I don't have his number so tell him we need to meet at Haven, an hour from now.""Alright then.

We were both talking about something important, why?"Andrew shook his head. "Nothing. I've just been trying his number but he's ignoring my calls."Robert rose a brow. "Oh.

    Andrea opened the office door of Elena who was overseeing some paperwork for her new restaurant. Elena looked up and smiled. "I was informed of your visit."Andrea nodded and dragged a chair. "I saw what happened between you and my brother. That girl that came between you two..."Elena shook her head. "Don't worry, we've solved the matter and as it turns out, I and your brother are still married."Andrea's mouth fell open in shock. "What?""He never took it to court. He threw it into the ocean."Andrea blinked and looked away still in shock. "Wow. That brother of mine."Elena nodded. "I know, right? Though no one has to know, especially our enemies."Andrea equally nodded. "Talking about enemies, the main reason I came here was to tell you that that girl that came between the both of you wasn't ordinary, it was planned."Elena furrowed her brows in confusion. "Planned? What do you mean?""I knew I saw your mother in that event but it wasn't that clear. After you guys left, I followed

He's been curious about how the raid went but this new information he received from his dad has taken over his train of thought.Liam finally answered his call as he walked out of his captain's office. "Why didn't you pick up my call earlier?" He asked as he got to his desk."Talking to my dad, how did it go?"Liam nodded. "It went well. We got them all, and no one escaped. We also confiscated all the drugs in their hold.""That's good news. Have you gotten any information from them?"Liam shook his head. "That's the problem. No one is talking. They're all quiet.""They're probably scared.""Still, we're trying to get information from them. We caught them red-handed, there's nothing they can do to get themselves out of it."Alex nodded. "Alright. Just keep me updated.""I will."As Alex hung up, he looked out the window and he heard his name."ALEX!"He frowned wondering why Andrew is calling him, so urgently. He
