Chapter 18 Alex's POV: When I opened my eyes, the first thing I registered was pain. A dull, persistent pounding against my skull, as if someone had taken a hammer to my head. My body ached, sore in places I didn’t even know could hurt. And my mouth felt like it had been stuffed with cotton. Groaning, I tried to sit up, but my muscles protested. What the hell happened last night? My mind was sluggishly struggling to piece together the fragmented memories. I remembered the bar. Then Reyna. I could still picture her standing in front of me, and the way she had looked at me—cold and indifferent—like I was nothing to her. Then… the taxi. And then… nothing. My mind was blank after that. The moment I shifted, a wave of nausea hit me hard. I barely had time to scramble out of bed before I lunged toward the bathroom, dropping to my knees as I barfed violently into the toilet. My body shook as I emptied my stomach, the bitter taste making me gag even more. When the convulsions fina

Chapter 19 Alex's POV: What the hell was I thinking? How did I ever let myself get involved with such a madwoman? For the first time in a long while, I found myself questioning every decision I had made up until this point. Chloe was nothing short of a disaster. No—she was worse than that. A catastrophe. If I had to compare her to Reyna, even with all the deception and manipulation Reyna had pulled in the past, she was still nowhere near as vile as Chloe. At least Reyna had treated me like a husband. At least she had acted like a decent woman. Even if it was all an act, she had never brought this kind of madness into my life. I exhaled, trying to calm the rage bubbling in my chest, but it was impossible. Not after what I woke up to this morning. Shattered glass. Furniture ripped to pieces. My cars—destroyed. The entire driveway looked like a war zone. And Chloe was nowhere to be found. Grabbing my wallet and phone, I rushed out of the house, making sure to lock the gate behind m

Chapter 20 Reyna's POV: The past few weeks had been… frustrating. Not because of my business, not because of the relentless board meetings or the media trying to get a piece of my life, but because of him. Alex. Every damn thing he did got under my skin, and I hated it. I hated the way he still had an effect on me. Each time I saw a bouquet of roses in my office or at home, I tossed it away with coldly, pretending it meant nothing. But the truth? The truth was that each time I threw them away, my chest ached just a little. Each time I heard him apologize, I clenched my fists, telling myself to remain indifferent. And each time I ignored his texts, calls, and the excuses he desperately tried to explain, a part of me—a large part—whispered, What if? I told myself I didn’t care. I told myself he was still the same man who had broken me, the man I had no reason to forgive. And yet, here I was, staring at myself in the mirror, dressed for a dinner he had asked for. This was it. Th

Chapter 21 Reyna's POV: As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized I was bound to a chair. My wrists were tied tightly behind me, and my legs as well. What the fuck? I blinked, trying to adjust to the dim lighting, and that’s when I took in my surroundings. A sitting room. I was in a goddamn sitting room. A massive sectional couch sat in the distance, its cushions perfectly arranged. A bar cart was pushed against the wall, stocked with whiskey, scotch, and expensive-looking decanters. I wasn’t in some abandoned warehouse. I wasn’t in a basement. No. I was tied up in someone’s home. And my mouth was taped shut. Fear shot through me as I started muffling, screaming, thrashing. My legs banged against the chair, the sound barely making an impact in the wide, open space. The ropes didn’t budge. Fuck. Then, footsteps. I turned to see Richard. In one hand, he held a metal rod, tapping it lightly against his palm. In the other, a brown envelope. He didn’t say a word as he pulled

Chapter 22 Alex's POV: I should’ve known Chloe would pull something like this. It had been a long day dealing with the men she owed money to, trying to reason with them. I had been willing to pay off her debts just to get them out of my hair, but when they refused to hand over my documents, I knew I was dealing with something bigger. The moment I sent them away and saw Maddox off, I went straight to my room, searching the wardrobe where I kept the house documents. Empty. I slammed the door shut, frustration bubbling in my chest. Chloe. She must have stolen them before leaving. I exhaled sharply and ran a hand through my hair. I still had one advantage—the CCTV cameras in my house. If I could pull up footage of her sneaking out with my documents, I could take it to court and get everything back. I could prove I wasn’t the guarantor for her loan and that I had nothing to do with this mess. But as soon as I logged into the security system, my heart dropped. The cameras had been

Chapter 23Reyna's POV:Everything happened so fast.One second, I was screaming Alex’s name, hoping—praying—that he would dodge in time. The next, the heavy vase crashed against his head, sending a thud through the room. “No! Alex!” I screamed, tears burning my eyes.I thrashed against the ropes binding me to the chair, watching in horror as he staggered but remained standing. While Richard grinned like a madman, relishing the chaos he had created."Please!" I begged, my voice breaking. "Richard, stop! I'll sign the divorce papers, I'll do whatever you want—just let us go! Let me take Alex to the hospital!"Alex, despite the blood trailing down his forehead, lifted a hand, silencing me. His expression was cold, but beneath it, I saw the flicker of pain he was trying to suppress.“Reyna, shut up.” His voice was rough. Then he turned to Richard, his eyes dark with fury. "You want to fight me? Bring it on. You’re no match for me, even in this state."Richard’s smirk faltered for just

Chapter 24Reyna's POV:After admitting Alex in the hospital and confirming that he was okay, I hailed a cab and went home. I couldn't stay back in the hospital with him. I shouldn't. Not after everything he had done to me in the past. Over the next three days, I focused on putting myself together.I kept my mind occupied with movies at home, while Chelsea handled the legal battle against Mr. Orlov and Richard. Meanwhile, Alex’s uncle fled to California the moment news of Richard’s arrest broke out. And no one had seen or heard from him since.Finally once I felt stable enough, I returned to work. But this time, I threw myself into it. Every minute was accounted for—meetings, reports, projects. Anything to keep my mind from wandering.But no matter how much I buried myself in work, thoughts of Alex still found a way in.Some nights, I stared at my call log, tempted to dial every unknown number that had contacted me in the past month just in case one of them was him. Just to hear his

Chapter 25Reyna's POV:I snapped my head around, to see Maddox striding toward us, his face dark with anger. Without hesitation, he yanked the thug’s hand off my arm."Who the hell are you?" Maddox demanded.The man sneered. "I should be asking you that." But his expression shifted as though he recognized him. His narrowed eyes flicked over Maddox before he added, "Weren't you with that Alex guy the first time my boys and I came here?"Maddox gave a short chuckle. "Correct. And if you don’t want me calling the police, I suggest you step the hell away from her. Now."The thug raised his hands in surrender, exchanging a quick look with the man in glasses. The latter gave me a small bow before they both turned away.Maddox grabbed my wrist and pulled me away. We were about to pass my car when I stopped, gesturing toward the vehicle."Let’s talk in here."He nodded and slid into the passenger seat while I got behind the wheel. I drove away from the curb and didn’t stop until we were far

Chapter 41Reyna's POV:I had not said a word since I woke up. I just laid on my bed, staring into space, wondering how everything had gone so horribly wrong. From finally finding some peace with Alex to this sudden chaos. How did it all go out of control? How did we get from building a happy life together to Chloe being pregnant with Alex’s child? And why is it always her? Chloe, Chloe, Chloe. It’s as if she’s destined to show up just to shatter everything I try to build.Last time, it was Chloe who broke us apart. And here we are again, standing at the edge of destruction, courtesy of the same woman.But how could I forget? Chloe had also made it seem like I was the one who had an affair with Alex's father. She didn't just ruin my relationship. She ruined me, and I lost three whole years of my life because of her lies.So what if she’s bluffing now? What if she isn't actually pregnant? Or maybe she is, but it isn’t Alex’s child. Or maybe, terrifyingly, it is. And she’s just here to

Chapter 41Alex's POV:Standing before the mirror, I knotted my tie absentmindedly. No matter how many times I adjusted it, the knot seemed to tighten around my neck. The sudden ring of my phone made me flinch. I glanced down at the vanity table, recognizing the number on the screen. I sighed, rubbing my temple. Chloe hadn’t stopped calling since yesterday’s encounter. I had ignored every single one, but the silence was suffocating me more than the calls.I knew I couldn’t keep this from Reyna forever. Chloe wasn’t bluffing. She would go to any lengths to get what she wanted, even if it meant destroying the little happiness Reyna and I had managed to rebuild after so many painful years.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I straightened my tie, sprayed cologne, grabbed my phone, and made my way downstairs. The familiar scent of freshly brewed coffee and buttered pancakes filled the air. There she was — Reyna — setting the table, a soft smile playing on her lips.Without thinking, I hug

Chapter 49Alex’s POV:I shot up from my seat, and the chair scraped loudly against the floor, silencing the room. The executives looked at me, startled, their charts and reports suddenly irrelevant."Meeting adjourned," I announced.Maddox, seated beside me, frowned. "What—"I didn’t let him finish. I turned and stormed out of the conference room."Alex!" Maddox called, but I ignored him.I made a beeline for the elevator, smashing the button repeatedly. The doors finally slid open, and I stepped in, pressing the button for the ground floor. As it descended, I felt my pulse quicken.The moment the doors parted, I stepped out, barely acknowledging the greetings from employees as I hurried through the lobby. My mind raced with questions. Was she lying? Could this really be happening?I pushed through the glass doors and into the parking lot. Without waiting for my driver, I unlocked my car and slid in. With one deep breath, I pulled out my phone and dialed Chloe’s number.She picked u

Chapter 38Alex’s POV:For the first time in a long time, everything felt… right.Leaning back in my chair, I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, letting the weight of the past two months settle in.I never expected my life to change so drastically in such a short period. Two months ago, everything felt uncertain—chaotic, even. Now, I had Reyna back by my side, and everything was as it should be.I smiled widely as I thought about her—how she had fit so perfectly back into my life, how every morning started with her warm presence beside me, and every night ended with her in my arms.“So,” Maddox's voice pulled me from my thoughts. He was perched on the edge of my desk, arms crossed, watching me with amusement. “How does it feel now that everything is finally back to normal?”I let out a chuckle. “Normal?” I repeated, shaking my head. “I don’t think life will ever be normal, Maddox.”He grinned. “Okay, fine. Not normal, but… good. You’ve got Reyna back, the company is thriving, and—

Chapter 37Reyna's POV:The security guard turned back to him. “Some crazy lady out here claiming she’s your wife.”I scoffed, but Theos simply smirked, tilting his glass. “Let her in.”The guard glanced between us, then finally stepped aside. I walked past him, and made my way inside.I wasn’t sure what I expected when I came here in the first place, but it definitely wasn’t this.Theos lounged back on the seat, one arm draped over the woman beside him, while everyone was worried sick about him.The moment his eyes met mine, I saw pain. But then it was suddenly masked behind a smirk as he lazily lifted his glass to his lips.The woman beside him, draped in a tight red dress, pouted. “Who’s this?”“Doesn’t concern you,” Theos said flatly before turning to her. “Leave.”She scoffed, clearly unimpressed by his tone, then stood abruptly. As she passed me, she brushed against my shoulder on purpose, clicking her tongue in annoyance. “Whatever,” She muttered before storming off.I ignored

Chapter 36Reyna's POV:I couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t think.Theos’ words echoed in my mind relentlessly. “I fell in love with you, Reyna.”I stared at him, unable to process his words. How was I supposed to respond to that? How could I pretend that those words didn’t shake me to my very core?But before I could gather my thoughts, before I could even blink, Theos suddenly moved. Suddenly, he was on his feet.My eyes widened as he reached for me, his hand gently cupped my face, and his fingers trembled against my skin.“I missed you,” He murmured.And then, before I could stop him, before I could think—his lips descended toward mine.I gasped, frozen for a second as his breath brushed against my skin. It would be so easy to let this happen, but… I couldn’t.I pulled away. “No.”Theos froze. “Reyna?”I swallowed hard, forcing myself to look into his eyes. “I… I can’t do this.”His brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”Tears burned the back of my eyes, but I pushed them down. “I’ve moved

Chapter 35 Reyna's POV:The waiting was unbearable every passing second felt like an eternity. My heart had been on edge, anticipating either a devastating loss or a long-awaited miracle.And then, the call came.“We’ve found him,” The investigator’s voice was breathless. “He’s alive. We have him.”I almost dropped my phone. My knees weakened, but I forced myself to stay upright. “Where is he?” “He’s been taken to Mercy General Hospital.”I exhaled sharply. “Thank you,” I managed. “Thank you for everything. I’ll be there immediately.”I had already called Mr. Hudson earlier, filling him in about the search. Now, with trembling fingers, I dialed his number again. The call barely rang before he picked up.“Reyna?” His voice was anxious.“They found him, Mr. Hudson,” I said, my voice shaking. “He’s been taken to Mercy General.”There was silence, then a shaky breath. “My boy… he’s alive?”“Yes,” I whispered, feeling the sting of tears in my eyes.“I want to come,” He said immediately.

Chapter 34Reyna’s POV:It had been a few weeks since I moved in with Alex. Slowly, we had fallen into a rhythm, living together as if the past hadn't happened, as if we were just another happy couple figuring things out. But deep down, I knew we were still rebuilding. Some wounds don’t just vanish overnight.Then, the rumor started.Theos Hudson was alive.At first, I dismissed it as just another wild headline, a media stunt to stir up controversy. But then, a reporter—a close friend of Theos—claimed that he had received a message from Theos himself. A message saying he was being held hostage.I stared at the news in disbelief. "Theos..." I whispered, gripping my phone so tightly my fingers ached.Alex, who was sitting beside me, tensed. "Rey, don’t get your hopes up too fast. Theos' car was found in the ocean. His body never showed up, yes, but that doesn’t mean—"I shot him a look. "It means exactly that. If his body was never found, then there was always a chance he was alive."

Chapter 33Reyna’s POV:I sat frozen, staring at Mr. Hudson as his words continued to sink in.“I had many enemies,” He explained. “Most of them were waiting for the right moment to strike. They had time… but when they heard that he had a wife—one that could give him an heir—” He exhaled deeply, rubbing his temples. “They took action all at once.”A lump formed in my throat. “I—I didn’t know,” I whispered. “I didn’t know my presence in his life would—” I stopped myself, swallowing the sob threatening to escape. “I’m so sorry. If I had known—”Mr. Hudson smiled. “Reyna, you didn’t force yourself into this situation. I did.” He admitted. “My persistence and my need for Theos to carry on the family legacy pushed him into making such a decision.”"You can't keep blaming yourself for this," I said gently. "Theos wouldn’t want that.""I keep replaying the past in my head," He responded. "If I hadn’t pressured Theos into giving me a grandson...""You wouldn’t have known it would end this wa
