Fiona's POV I sat nervously as the driver followed silently, swerving whenever the lady did. "Keep going," I muttered, watching the road come to an end."Ma'am, we are at a dead end," the driver said. "It seems we missed her.""But she was here just now," I screeched furiously as the driver turned the steering wheel into the road again.I wondered what she was doing at the correctional facility. Who was she meeting? Fortunately, I had taken a quick shot of her before entering the car. Though she still had a mask on, I could recognize her even at night.I swiftly sent the photo to Davis, asking him to run a facial recognition. Strangely, I thought about what he had said—was there really someone else trying to subdue the Brooks family?"We are here," the driver woke me from my thoughts. I handed him some cash and got out, walking into the house.Isabella sat on the counter, as if waiting for my arrival. She sat straight, gazing at me for a while."Say what's on your mind?" I asked, pul
Bound by Deception. Lightning!
Alexander's POVThere's a saying that when lightning strikes out of the blue, it leaves you stunned and scrambling. Right now, a large lightning bolt just struck me in the deepest part of my chest.I looked into the crowd, trying to find Fiona, but she was gone. The reporters flocked into the room, taking quick shots before Frederick rushed over, leading me out of the room."I can't believe this!" I exclaimed, loosening the tie stuck on my neck as I got into the car. "Take me home, now.""Yes, sir," Frederick replied, revving the engine and driving off. I called Fiona, but she didn't pick up, even after five calls. A lot of congratulatory messages popped up on my screen, and in no time, headlines were flooding the internet.I switched off the phone, thinking about what Sabrina was up to. I definitely wasn't the father of the baby. Was this the surprise she was talking about? I scoffed. She really played the game well.The car stopped at the house, and so did two others carrying Dad, h

Fiona's POV I looked over my shoulder, throwing the cape over my head to make sure I wasn't seen. The dark street helped conceal my face as I walked into the narrow passage, knocking eagerly on one of the joint doors of the bustling club.A group of naked ladies stood on the stage, dancing shamelessly as men ogled them. It was more of a market for sex toys, and I felt nauseous watching the horrid scene.A man approached upon seeing me. "You must be her," he said.I nodded.He led me to the far end of the club, into another door. I walked carefully, trying to avoid the unhealthy sexual activities going on around me. My eyes shifted to a stripper who was busy enticing hungry-looking men.The man stopped, pointing at a secluded area. "Go in," his husky voice rang in my ear as I nodded.I swallowed my fear as a lady walked out of the room, licking her fingers naughtily. I looked at her in disdain before closing the door behind me."You're here," Davis said, crossing his legs as he sat."

Alexander's POVI raged with fury as I pushed the door open, barging in with all the strength I could muster. She sat in a nightgown, with a glass of red wine in hand.I huffed, moving towards her. "This is the last time I will ask you. Who's the father of this child?""That's so rude, barging in with no notice that you’re coming," she smiled. "Take a seat.""Do I look like I'm here to do that? You slut."Her smile quickly turned to a big frown as she placed the cup on the table. "You better watch your mouth, Alexander."I scoffed. "You didn't answer my question.""Does it matter? That drink," her eyes moved to the cup on the table, "contains an abortion pill," she burst into laughter."You devil," I grabbed her hands. "You've been fucking my brother. Was this a way to prevent me from revealing the truth?""What truth?" She slapped my hands off. "It's not like you're some saint or anything. I heard you killed someone in Hong Kong. We’re the same, murderers."I gasped, my eyes raging w

Fiona's POV"Can you hear me?"A voice echoed in my ear for what felt like an eternity. My head felt as heavy as if it were encased in dried cement. I groaned weakly, struggling to open my eyes.Isabella's face was the first thing I saw as my vision cleared, hovering close to mine. "Can you see me?" she asked repeatedly."I...""Doctor, she's awake!" Isabella dashed out and quickly returned with a large man with a protruding belly. He examined my eyes with a penlight and checked my heartbeat with a stethoscope.I turned to see Dami, Tim, and John sitting nearby, their faces filled with words they had been holding back."She's alright, but we'll need to monitor her progress for a few days," the doctor reassured Isabella before leaving."Fiona," Dami cried, grasping my arms, while Tim sat at my feet, holding my legs."I can't breathe," I whispered."She's dying! Call the doctor!" Isabella wailed again."I'm alright," I managed to say louder this time, holding my head in pain. "Can you g

Fiona's POVIt's been a week since I ended things with Alexander, and now, I'm finally being discharged from the hospital. Tim, Dami, and John rushed in, giving me a group hug as I walked to the door, their sobs echoing in unison."I'll have your stuff delivered to your house tomorrow. Can't you just stay? We know it isn't true," Tim sobbed as he walked up to me.I hugged him tightly. "I'm fine, and I'm tired of Mrs. Patricia. See this as redemption for me," I laughed, patting his back.I can't believe I just quit my job. I mean, which patient would want to be treated by a low-budget whore who caused the miscarriage of another woman? Not only that, she also tried to snatch her fiancé from her.I wore a cap and a face mask as I walked out, hiding my face so no one would recognize me. Michelle stood outside, leaning on her car with a flower in hand. She handed it over. "Congratulations on pulling through. You're a strong lady, Fiona.""Thank you," I replied, climbing into the car.As sh

Alexander's POV I watched the footage clearly, the recordings Frederick had brought. It’s been over eight hours now. Maybe this was my way of comforting myself after everything that happened the previous morning.I wondered what must be going on in her head. If she was doing okay or just pretending to. But who was I to care about that? It's true what everyone says—I’m just as bad as Sabrina Parks.I paused the footage as Frederick walked in. “How’s she?” I had sent Frederick to keep an eye on Fiona.“She went out of town today.”“To?”“My men haven’t reported back yet. About what you heard your father and Mr. Parks discussing the other day,” he moved closer, “your father is involved in illegal mining.”I stared in shock. “What!”He handed over a newspaper. “A few years ago, a family was burnt alive. The publishing company that reported it went bankrupt immediately. There’s no other copy.”“So how did you get this?”“A reporter friend of mine has been keeping an eye on Michelle, the r

Fiona's POVThe warden walked me into an office. I sat for a while, nervously waiting. She entered a few minutes later, but not with Mrs. Smith. Instead, a woman in a white lab coat followed her in."Where's Mrs. Smith?" I asked."This is Mrs. Yang, the morgue officer," the warden said. "I'm so sorry to inform you that Mrs. Smith died this morning."I got up from the chair and walked slowly to the officer, who continued, "Apparently, she committed suicide. There was compression of the blood vessel and...""Wait, suicide?" My chest felt heavy as I fell back into the chair. "Why would she commit suicide?""She left this," the warden said, reaching into her pocket and handing me a note. I clutched it without looking at it. "Where's her body?"The morgue officer led me into the freezer, where her body lay naked and bare. I burst into tears, holding her cold hands."Here," the officer pointed to her neck. "The rope must have done a lot of damage. I'm sorry for your loss, Miss Fiona," she s
