Relief washed over Sophia like a tidal wave, leaving her momentarily breathless. Her knees threatened to give way, and she clung to Alexander’s arm for support. “Safe,” she whispered, the word a fragile lifeline in the swirling storm of her emotions. She was really worried. Alexander tightened his hold on her hand, grounding her. “We’ll go to them,” he said softly, though there was a hard edge to his tone, a promise of retribution lurking beneath the surface. “Gerald’s actions won’t go unanswered.” “When?” Sophia asked, her voice trembling despite her efforts to appear composed. “When can I see them?” Alexander exchanged a glance with his man, who nodded in understanding. "Now," Alexander assured her, his eyes

The next morning, Alexander stood by the window of his private study, his gaze sweeping over the sprawling estate now filled with the presence of Sophia's family. Yet, despite the bustle below, his mind remained a million miles away. The weight of his family’s legacy felt heavier than ever, the aftermath of Gerald's arrest a mere spark in a storm that was far from over. Gerald’s influence still lingered, and the dangerous secrets that tied them all together seemed impossible to unravel.Sophia’s soft footsteps brought him back to the present, and he turned just in time to see her step into the room. Her eyes searched his face, a familiar warmth and concern radiating from her."You look troubled," she said, her voice gentle but laced with an unspoken understanding. "Is it Gerald?"Alexander swallowed, his jaw tightening as he met her gaze. He wanted to tell her everything; how he felt trapped by the weight of his family’s history, by the lies, the betrayal,

“Any objection?” Alexander asked, staring daggers at the people around him, sending shivers down their spines.The room grew quieter, the air thick with unspoken fears. The executives exchanged uneasy glances, the weight of his words pressing down on them. Some had already begun to distance themselves from Gerald, but the evidence of their loyalty to him couldn't be overlooked.An older board member, Mr. Carlisle, cleared his throat, his voice a brittle echo in the stillness. Mr. Carlisle had been with the company since the days of Alexander’s grandfather. His loyalty was not just to the Evans name but to the legacy he believed Gerald had preserved, albeit through questionable means.“You can't do this, Alexander,” he said, his voice tinged with both desperation and defiance. “We've been with this company for a long time, and most of us worked with your grandfather. Gerald may have had his faults, but he kept certain deals afloat. If you force us

Elena had always been the heart of the Evans family, the force that held them together even as cracks began to show under Gerald's character. Now, with Gerald’s disgrace and sentence, Alexander knew he had to face her. The thought clenched at his chest more than any headline ever could. When the familiar sight of the sprawling estate came into view, Alexander felt a pang of nostalgia mixed with a sense of foreboding. The gardens were pristine, the lawn immaculately trimmed, and the mansion’s white stone facade gleamed under the afternoon sun. It was a picture of serenity, a deceptive calm that belied the storm they had weathered. He pulled the car to a slow stop near the grand entrance and stepped out, taking a moment to steady himself. The scent of freshly cut grass mingled with the faint aroma of Elena’s beloved lavender bushes, a comforting familiarity amid the turmoil. The sound of birds chirping in the distance seemed almost mocking in its normalcy. The door opened before he

Alexander's expression softened, the tension in his chest easing at the mention of Sophia. “I’ll bring her soon, grandma. I think you’ll love her.” Mrs. Evans gave him a knowing look. “Of course I will. If she’s captured your heart, then she must be someone special.” As he spoke with his grandmother, his thoughts wandered to the rest of the family. The Evans residence stood as a testament to their legacy, a sprawling estate with ivy-covered walls and meticulously kept gardens that had seen generations of the family come and go. It was a place of grandeur but also of sorrow, a silent witness to the triumphs and tragedies that had shaped the Evans name. His father, Thomas Evans, had never been much involved in the family business. In fact, Thomas had always been content to live off the family wealth, enjoying the luxuries that came with being an Evans without the responsibility. He was a kind man, but business simply wasn’t his forte. It ha

As Sophia rested in Alexander's arms, the tension of the day slowly melted away. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat beneath her cheek was comforting, like a gentle lullaby that grounded her after all the chaos they had faced. She felt safe, secure, and deeply connected to him in that quiet moment.When she lifted her head, their eyes met, and she saw something in his gaze that sent her pulse racing. There was a storm brewing in the depths of his usually calm eyes, a mixture of longing and passion that made her breath hitch. In that instant, she wanted nothing more than to get lost in that storm, to let it sweep her away.Alexander leaned down, his lips brushing softly against hers as if testing the waters. The gentle touch sent a spark through her, and she responded instinctively, tilting her head to deepen the kiss. Her hands moved up to wrap around his neck, pulling him closer as she surrendered to the moment.His hands, firm but tender, slid down to her

Alexander had held his desires for long and tonight was the perfect time. He was ready to go all out but as things got serious, their sweet moment was interrupted by the phone on the nightstand ringing loud. It was his phone and he regretted not turning it off.He froze, the sudden noise pulling him away from the warmth of the moment. His muscles tensed his frustration showing on his face. He let his forehead rest against Sophia’s for a brief moment, trying to ignore the phone’s persistence, but it was impossible to block it out.“Leave it,” he muttered against her lips, his voice a low rasp, filled with the tension of wanting more but also knowing the call might be important.Sophia, with her breath still shaky from the intensity of their closeness, gently touched his cheek, her thumb brushing against his skin with an almost calming effect.“Answer it first, It might be important.” She whispered softly, her tone laced with concern.Alexander let out a deep sigh, clearly not pleased w

The drive back was quiet, but his mind was still filled with the thoughts of his uncle Gerald and what he was probably planning. Gerald’s reach was far wider than he had expected. Every move he made seemed well articulated, especially with the mysterious man who even his team couldn't trace. But this fueled Alexander's determination to stop him.When he arrived home, the house was eerily quiet. He expected to find Sophia asleep in her room, but as he made his way up to his bedroom, he was surprised to find her waiting for him, sitting on the edge of his bed.“Hey, why are you not asleep?” he asked softly, his voice filled with a mixture of amusement and affection.Sophia smiled, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw him. “I wanted to wait for you.”He paused a little, touched by her words as he felt some warmth spread through him. No matter how chaotic his life was, Sophia was always there. She was his constant, grounding him in ways he couldn’t

Encouraged by her response, he increased the pressure slightly, his movements more deliberate. Her hands gripped his thighs beneath the water, her nails digging into his skin as the tension built inside her. He nuzzled her neck, whispering sweet nothings between kisses. “I want you to feel everything, Sophia. Let go for me.” She relaxed, letting him get closer, feeling his hands gently touch her. It was like a soft conversation without words. She leaned in, letting him guide her, and the warmth between them grew. Slowly, he moved with care, drawing them even closer. The way their bodies felt so close created a comforting warmth. They didn’t need to speak; everything felt right at that moment. As they moved, their breathing grew a little quicker, but it wasn’t rushed. They found a quiet rhythm, like two people who knew each other well. Each small movement was a way to say, "I’m here," without needing to say more.

Back in Sadrova restaurant, Alexander emerged from the bathroom after several knocks on the door.He wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the door.Tim hurried in with his bag. He looked just like any other thirty-year-old guy who happened to be on duty. His white doctor’s coat was slightly creased like he’d rushed out of the hospital without a second thought. Underneath, he had on a black T-shirt and jeans, just something comfortable for a long shift. A stethoscope still hung around his neck, probably out of habit more than anything. His glasses gave him a smart, slightly serious look, but there was an easygoing air about him.“What took you so long?” Alexander asked, masking the discomfort in his body."I left my patients waiting just to come here, and you're complaining?" Tim asked casually, placing his bag on the couch.Alexander just snorted, glaring at him before making his way to the couch.Tim didn’t waste time once he saw Alexander’s condition. He quickly prepared a s

Alexander closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to look at her. Images of Sophia flooded his mind.“No, I can’t let this happen. I won’t,” he muttered, biting his lower lip hard as if the pain would fight off the drug’s effect.He struggled to wake up again, pushing Jessica away. She tried to resist but this time, Alexander shoved her harder, and she fell from the bed.He didn't even spare her a glance; he quickly bent toward the bedside table, grabbed his phone, and staggered out of the room.He struggled to walk in the hallway, holding on to the wall for support.When he reached the next suite, he found a couple holding each other as they were about to make their way in.The man opened the door with a gentlemanly smile, signaling to the lady to get in first.Before the woman could react, Alexander snatched the room card and staggered inside leaving the words, “Sorry, I need to use the room.”Before the man could react, he had already locked the door from the inside.“Damn it!” The man

Meanwhile, back in Hawthorne's ancestral home, Marcus knocked on his grandpa's bedroom, casually tucking his other hand into his pants pocket.After Raphael murmured from inside, he pushed the door open and walked inside. The room was dimly lit, with a bedside lamp casting a soft amber glow over the space. The air held a comforting mix of lavender and woody from the old oak furniture.A large, neatly made bed stood against the far wall, its thick duvet turned down slightly, perhaps he was ready for bedtime.An antique clock ticked quietly on the wall, and a pair of slippers sat perfectly aligned by the edge of a plush rug.Raphael was seated on a couch near the window with a steaming cup of tea on the small table in front of him. Despite the warmth in the room, he had a shawl draped over his shoulders, and the lines on his face seemed deeper under the soft light.He seemed to have aged more since the last time Marcus saw him. “Grandpa,” he greeted.“Sit,” Raphael said, pointing at t

Mark turned to him apologetically, “Sorry, boss, I will...” “It's okay. You can go.” Alexander cut him off coldly. Then he added, “Mark, you can take your leave. You will be rewarded for today." He had just remembered it was supposed to be Mark's off day. “Thank you, boss.” Mark nodded happily before walking out, knowing that his boss didn't blame him. Bullock swallowed hard as he stood up to face Jessica. “Miss Jason, whatever deal we had with your father is being handled by my secretary. Please go speak to her,” he said politely. “I just did that but she couldn't give me any substantial explanation. That's why I came to look for you,” Jessica said with a righteous voice, sounding offended. “I'll look for Mr Jason myself and give him an explanation,” Bruno said, trying to send Jessica aw

“You're the pride of the Hawthornes, my dear. That Sophia was our bad luck; Look at how we're prospering now that she's gone. My son is more accomplished now that she isn't here to drag him behind.” Evelyn clapped like a child who just won a prize, her eyes glowing with pride. She walked over to Marcus and patted his shoulder like he’d just won a major award. “I’m so proud of you, son.” “Marcus, I hope you're not still dreaming of bringing her back,” Lauren scoffed, tilting her chin up in distaste. Marcus leaned back lazily, his arms spread across the back of the couch. He smirked, brushing invisible dust from his shirt like a king making a declaration. “Sophia will be mine sooner or later..." “Marcus, you're just digging your own grave. Go see your grandpa now.” His father's angry voice came from upstairs interrupting them. “So it's true you don't believe in me, Dad. Is that why you stepped down?” Marcus turned to him with his face full of disappointment. His fathe

“Wait… why are you so quick to defend yourself?” Sophia laughed out, amused.“Well, that's because I hate slander. But you know I'm not lying, right?” he asked, shrugging his shoulders. “Yes. You two are gentlemen. The girl who ends up with you will be the luckiest,” she said, winking at Amelia.“Did you hear that?” Michael turned to Amelia proudly. “You two are impossible.” Amelia stomped her foot and walked away to hide her flushing face.***Meanwhile, Alexander watched silently as his phone disconnected. “I need to deal with Jessica quickly or it will affect my relationship with Sophia,” he muttered before walking back to the coffee shop with a resolute face. “Have you made up your mind?” he asked as he sat down. “You said you can fulfill any of my wishes, right?” Jessica asked, putting her phone on the table. “Anything within my capability,” Alexander said, leaning on his seat. “Then divorce Sophia and marry me.” She dared him. The moment the last word left her mouth, the

Back at the Eldridge International Airport, the final boarding call echoed through the terminal: “Final boarding for Flight 782 to Geniva. All remaining passengers, please proceed to Gate 14 immediately.” Jessica stood up calmly, composed, like everything was going exactly as she had planned. She picked up her handbag, adjusted her blazer slightly, and started walking toward the gate. Her assistant, clearly more nervous, hurried after her. “Miss Jason, are we boarding now? I thought …” “Just follow me and stop asking questions,” Jessica cut her coldly and walked ahead. Her heels clicked confidently against the polished floor without any hint of panic. When they reached the gate, she handed over her passport and boarding pass with a small, polite smile. The attendant scanned them and gave a quick nod. “You may proceed.” She and her assistant began walking down the jet bridge. They were only a few steps away from the plane's door when a sudden urgent voice cal

Back in Eldridge, in the backyard of Jason's estate, Rachel knelt by her flowerbed, humming a tune as she worked.She wore a flowing cream-colored dress that fluttered slightly with the breeze. A wide straw hat shielded her face, but even then, the grace in her every movement showed. Her hands, though elegant, weren’t afraid of dirt. She held a small pruning shear and gently snipped away a dried leaf from one of her prized roses.The garden was in full bloom, with roses in shades of blush and deep red, lilies standing tall and proud, and dainty white daisies dancing in the wind. It was her happy place. Every weekend, she spent at least an hour here. It was one of the few things that grounded her and made her feel like everything would be okay.She wiped her forehead with the back of her glove, smiling faintly at the progress she had made. Her flowerbed looked perfect.Just then, a servant came rushing out from the house, breathless.“Madam, Mr. Evans is here. He doesn’t look like he c

Meanwhile, back in Averia, Alexander’s car rolled to a stop outside a modest building nestled between tall sycamore trees. The sign above the gate read Happy Orphanage in faded blue paint. The walls were worn and the compound was quiet and solemn. A woman in her mid-fifties stepped out to meet him. Her hair was tied in a tight bun, streaked with gray, and her eyes held both kindness and years of experience. She wore a plain beige dress and clutched a manila folder to her chest like it held secrets. “Welcome to Happy Orphanage, Mr. Evans. We’re at your service,” she greeted warmly, with a practiced tone like someone used to formalities and farewells. Alexander nodded and followed her inside. In her office, she showed Alexander all the files related to the person he was looking for. “According to your description, this is the person who was at the orphanage and later rescued by her parents that same year,” she explained, handing over the file. Alexander took the document and fli
