Fiona's POVOne might be wondering why I went to Antonio's house and even had sex with him. But, as always, I had another motive. The sex wasn't part of it.I watched him lay asleep in his most beautiful form while I slipped on my dress and tip-toed out of the bedroom. My eyes navigated the whole house.I walked into the study room, looking over my shoulder in case he popped out of nowhere. I hurried to the computer and turned it on."Shit, password," I bit my lip, trying all the possible passwords I could think of. "Wait," I snapped. "My birthday?" I input that, and it worked.I quickly read through all the files related to the construction company. Antonio had enough evidence to bring them down, but why didn't he?I clicked on an image, the blueprint of the company. I took a quick shot of everything related to the construction company, about to shut it down when a video caught my attention. It was mine from the orphanage home. A tear dropped down my face. "Silly boy, why does he hav

Alexander's POV I clutched the necklace, stepping into the car as I drove off in fury. I was going to let everything go, but her words kept piercing my ears. Was I being selfish? I knew getting married to Sabrina would be a mistake, but I needed to do this to protect her.I slammed on the brakes, breathing heavily, as I took a turn back to the road leading to the construction company. I stopped again, this time halfway down the road, where Fiona stood, waiting for a taxi."Get in," I cleared my throat, unlocking the door."I never asked for a ride," she said, walking away.I scoffed, stepping out of the car as I held her hand. "It's dangerous here, you won't find a cab. Get in, I'll take you home."Her eyes glistened with tears as she folded her arms. "Why can't you leave me alone?""I will, but for now, get in. It's dangerous out here," I said, opening the door and signaling for her to get in. But she remained stubborn. "Fiona, please."She was about to walk toward me when a car spe

Fiona's POVI watched as he slept soundly, turning around like a little baby. I couldn't believe I was the first person he called when drunk. Somehow, I felt alright, but then I felt different."What are you thinking about?" Alexander said, looking into my eyes with both hands clasped below his cheek."You're awake. You can leave now," I said, clearing my throat and turning to go, but he held me down."Why did you come pick me up?""Because you called, and Frederick wasn't answering my calls," I snapped, trying to release his grip."Thank you," he whispered, letting my hand go. "I have to go. I don't want the paparazzi thinking we're back together," he said, buttoning up."Your phone... why is my name saved as 'Heartbreaker'?" I asked, feeling a bit petty."Privacy, Fiona. And what are you?" He walked past me, heading for the door."You know I loved you, right? I would have done anything for you," I blurted out. "Anything.""Yeah, you did everything, using me to get revenge on my fami
Bound by Deception. The Beginning of an End.
Fiona's POVBy the time I opened my eyes, he was gone, just as I had expected. I yawned loudly and walked to the dressing table.I felt awkward looking into the mirror, a feeling I had known for a long time—the same feeling I had when I first met Harden at Yale. The fear that I would lose him for good and that nothing could prevent it.I pulled open the shelf, picked up the camera I had used to capture every moment at the construction company, removed the chip, and clenched it in my palm. I slipped on a dress and walked out of the room.Isabella stood in front of the refrigerator, filling it with bottled water. "Hey, off to somewhere again?""Yes, I'll be back soon," I said, walking out and catching a cab to News with Me, where Michelle works.Somehow, it felt like I was being watched. I looked over my shoulder, checking if someone was behind me."Hey," Michelle popped out of nowhere, "what are you doing here?"I took a deep breath and took a seat. "It took me ages to find the cafeter

Five Years Later...Alexander's POV"And I assure you, we've elevated our standards; the Brooks Company will never let its customers down," I said with a smile as the interviewer signaled her crew to stop recording."Thank you so much, Mr. Alexander Brooks. Again, it's an honor having you here today.""Again, it's my pleasure, Miss Zoe," Frederick approached me, "is the car ready?" He nodded. As I tried to leave, Zoe stopped me."May I ask, Mr. Brooks?" she asked with a giggle, "has the divorce been finalized?"I smirked. "If it had, you would have been the first to know. You always have your sources.""It's better hearing it from the horse's mouth," she smiled back. "I hope you're doing well?"I knew where that question was aimed. I nodded lightly. "I am, thank you. And this will be the last time I come on your show this year. You've made a lot of money thanks to me.""Yes, sir," she laughed, walking away.I turned to Frederick. "Make sure you give Sabrina the money she demanded, and

Fiona's POVI stood still, hiding my emotions behind a straight face as I watched him fall to the ground. I pressed the close button and took the elevator to the first floor, which was Harden's home.I pressed the bell, and a few minutes later, a lady walked out."He's in," she said with a smile, walking away.I sighed as I entered and closed the door behind me."I told you I didn't want you here," Harden said, pouring a glass of wine. "You met him, right?""Why did you get a house close to his?" I asked, taking the glass from him."I know it's hard to believe, but it was my sister's idea. She has a strange crush on Alexander.""I just met with my past. It was terrifying...""Wait a minute!" someone yelled from outside as she stormed in. "You're Fiona Campbell," she gasped. "You're alive?""Sit down, Jess. Stop shouting; you're disturbing the neighborhood," Harden said, sipping his wine as I sat on the sofa. "This is Jessica, my sister.""Hi, Jess," I waved, but she paid no attention.

Fiona's POVIt was a magnificent sight to behold. The statue stood tall, with a water fountain beneath it. The light emanating from the building shone on my black crystal gown, which revealed a good amount of my curves.I placed my hands in Harden's, smiling as he led me out of the car.It was his company's grand opening event, and all the elites were definitely there. I hoped I wouldn’t bump into Alexander."Relax," Harden whispered in my ear, placing his hands on my hips. "If you don’t want to be here, I can tell the driver to take you back.""It's your big event; I owe you my presence," I smiled, holding his hands tightly as we faced the building.We walked in, and I could hear gasps from the crowd. Harden held me close, sensing my fear. Soon we were in the hall, where a thousand eyes turned to me, whispering loudly.My gaze caught Alexander's. He looked calm, not paying much attention to Harden. I saw Frederick whisper something into his ear, and soon after, Alexander was gone."W
Bound by Deception. The Jerk!
Alexander's POV I pushed her away lightly, wiping my lips. "Why did you do that?"Dazy smiled. "I just wanted to help. You should have pushed me away if you didn't want it."Dazy was one of those women I met at events like this—always professing their love and never knowing when to stop."Don't try that again," I warned, walking down the corridor."You're so full of yourself, Alexander," she shouted, drawing the attention of passing workers.I re-entered the hall, scanning the room for Fiona. She was sitting quietly, her gaze fixed on Harden, who was already on stage.I wondered if Harden had moved close to me because Fiona asked him to. My thoughts were interrupted as Sabrina walked in, bumping into a waiter. Her eyes met Fiona’s, and the glasses of wine crashed to the floor, drawing everyone’s attention."Who—what are you?" Sabrina yelled, aiming a piece of cutlery at Fiona, who deftly dodged."Shit! Can you all stop aiming sharp objects at me?" Fiona yelled back, tossing her hair
