Last Updated:
2025-02-02 17:02:02“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.

“Amelia!” Sophia gasped, tossing a pillow at her friend with a playful frown.Amelia laughed, ducking to avoid the pillow. “What? So you’re not going to spill the beans?”She teased her yearning for more juicy gossip and Sophia couldn't believe her friend. The atmosphere was filled with their laughter and chatting as they finally sat down with breakfast, even though it was already past 2 pm. After catching up on the usual gossip and updates, the mood shifted. Sophia leaned back against the couch, the weight of recent events pressing down on her.She began to tell Amelia everything that had happened over the past few days. She told her about the kidnapping, the tension with Gerald, and the constant feeling of danger lurking around the corner.Amelia listened intently, her face a mix of disbelief, worry, and sympathy. “I can’t believe all of this is happening.

He gently cupped her face with his hand.“I missed you, my love,” he whispered softly before leaning in, capturing her lips gently.Sophia raised her head tilting it enough for him to deepen the kiss, surrendering herself to the warmth of his embrace. It felt as though the world outside had ceased to exist, leaving just the two of them. Alexander deepened the kiss, and Sophia melted in his every touch.Their kisses grew more intense as he guided her toward the bed, without breaking the kiss. The sheets rustled beneath them, and for a while, they let themselves forget everything, including Gerald's looming threat.After what felt like forever, they lay together, holding each other closely.

Rachel fumbled with the keys, her hands shaking. The moment she pushed the door open, she froze. “Oh my God!” Her voice was barely audible.The room was scattered, with glasses on the floor and furniture overturned, and in the middle of it all, Jessica sat with her back against her bed, her expression blank.Rachel’s stomach dropped. “Jessica!” She rushed in, nearly slipping on the scattered glasses. “What happened?”“My dear, what have you done?” She cried, as her heart broke, seeing her daughter sitting in the middle of the mess.“Meccy, get someone to clean up quickly,” she ordered the assistant and helped Jessica up.“Honey, what do you think you're doing? You need to listen to dad and grandpa. They mean well. Just go abroad for a few months. Okay?” She persuaded her.“Mom, I don't want to. What's so special about that woman?

Alexander kept quiet, unsure of where to start or, rather, how to start.But Sophia wasn't in a hurry; she just stood there, watching him.“Can we talk somewhere else?” he asked cautiously, glancing at Amelia.“I'll be inside. Call me if you need anything.” Catching on his hesitation, Amelia interjected, tapping Sophia on her shoulder.Sophia nodded appreciatively.As soon as Amelia went inside, the air between them felt heavier. Alexander stepped closer, his shoes barely making a sound.He wanted to reach out and hold her in his arms, to make sure she was still his, but he stopped himself. Instead, he shoved his hands into his pockets, trying to ignore the pull in his chest.“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to meet Jessica,” he admitted.“Was it the reason you were unreachable when Mr Egerton needed your signature?” Sophia asked, staring daggers at him.Alexander was shocked! Oh no, what a terrible coincidence.“What do you mean, sweetheart? I had a meeting at Evans Towers at that

Finally, Alexander decided to get some rest and wait for tomorrow to go find Sophia. But his mind wandered to his friend Michael Jordan. The Jordan family was the pioneer in cutting-edge technologies, investing in almost everything from advanced robotics to aerospace engineering. They had built a tech empire under the leadership of old master Jordan and were well respected for their strategic ventures that pushed the boundaries of invention. But for Michael, that wasn’t enough. Born into a family that thrived on technological progress, his ambition still outpaced even their expectations. From a young age, he wanted to create his own projects and not just within the confines of the family business. His projects were always bold and demanding, requiring massive capital for developments.

I don't wan’ to… see him.” Sophia said, urging Amelia to lead her to the car.Amelia nodded, agreeing with Sophia.

Back at The Last Stop Bar, Sophia was still drinking, her eyes glassy and her words slightly slurred. Amelia, sitting beside her, had been trying to coax her into leaving for the past hour. “Bestie, you’ve had enough. We should leave,” she said, gently placing a hand on Sophia’s arm. Sophia blinked lazily, pushing the glass away from her lips. “No... I can take a… few more drinks… Amelia.” Amelia stared in disbelief. Sophia was already slurring, yet she wanted more. With a sigh, she reached for the glass and pushed it further out of her reach. “Come on, let’s go,” she said, her voice firmer this time. Reluctantly, Sophia nodded. “Fine, but I don’t want to see him.” Amelia bit her lip, glancing around the bar. She knew who she was referring to but where else should she drop her?

Amelia reached across the table and held her hand. There was nothing more to say.The alcohol might dull the pain for a while, but it could never truly heal her heart.She knew this had to be a misunderstanding, but where was Alexander?

Meanwhile, in Alexander’s Office… He had returned in a rush, still angry with Jessica.He hadn’t even spent three minutes in the hotel room. The moment he saw Jessica waiting for him, he knew something was off.She had danced around the topic of Gerald, offering no substantial information. It had been a waste of time, and he’d left almost immediately.Now, standing in his office, his assistant, Mark, rushed in, holding a tablet.“Boss, you need to see this,” Mark said, handing it over.Alexander stared at the screen, his heart dropping into his stomach.The headlines were everywhere. Photos of him and Jessica entering the hotel room together were plastered across every major news outlet.The captions were even worse, speculating about their relationship and hinting at an affair.Alexander’s grip tightened on the tablet.
