Alexander sat in his office, lost in thought as he reflected on the first time he met Camilla Kings. His mind wandered to the recent events between them and the public's reaction, so absorbed in his musings that he didn't notice when his personal assistant, James Carron, entered the room.

"Excuse me, Sir," James called out, but received no response. He cleared his throat and spoke louder, which finally caught Alexander's attention.

"Yeah, what do you need?" Alexander asked, his usual cheerful demeanor returning.

"You have a letter from Fillers Law Associates," James said, holding out an envelope to Alexander.

Alexander took the letter and opened it, his eyebrows rising in surprise as he read the contents.

After a moment, he smiled and shook his head, remaining silent for a few seconds before his PA spoke.

"Is everything alright, sir?" James asked, concern etched on his face.

"Camilla Kings just filed a lawsuit against me for sexual assault and conspiracy," Alexander replied calmly, ca

    Alexander looked at the woman, dressed in various layers of clothing and sporting a floppy hat and dark shades, as she walked into the empty restaurant. "You're late," he said."I'm so sorry, Mr. Cena," she apologized. "I had a little problem on my way here.""Why are you dressed like a fugitive?" he asked, gesturing towards her outfit."Do you know how many threats I've received in the last couple of days? Of course, I had to disguise myself to be able to go out," she explained, her tone annoyed."What's with that tone? You brought this upon yourself, not me," he responded without any emotion or pity."I know. I know I did this to myself. I underestimated the power of your and Miss Kings' fans, including the public in general." She paused to settle down then continued."I didn't think the news of you guys being together would explode like this. But on the bright side, my magazine is doing very well, millions of people are visiting day-in, day-out. It's a huge success for me," she sai

    Alexander let out a heavy sigh as he looked a the red-haired journalist, seated in front of him."Five million dollars. Who's your source?" he asked, his tone measured but firm.Mariah's eyes widened in surprise, "Five what?!" she exclaimed, her hand quickly covering her mouth in shock."I'll pay you five million dollars and make Camilla drop the lawsuit if you tell me who your source is. Who told you that Camilla and I were in that hotel room that morning?" Alexander asked calmly, but Mariah was still staring at him in disbelief.Alexander let out another sigh and rubbed his temples. "Or did you know about us being there yourself?" he asked, his patience wearing thin.At this point, he couldn't shake the growing feeling that Mariah might have orchestrated the whole thing, walking in on them that fateful morning to get a photo for the sake of her magazine.Mariah finally spoke, her voice low and resolute. "Mr. Cena, I'm not the kind of person who takes bribes for information. And I do

    "Is this all we need to do to make her drop the lawsuit?" Alexander queried, leaning forward with his hand resting on the glass table. He looked intently at his attorney, Peggy Smith, who sat across from him."You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Cena," Peggy reassured with a small smile, as she neatly gathered her documents on the table and stood up to leave."Thank you, Mrs. Smith," Alexander said, standing up to shake her hand. As they parted, Peggy smiled and turned to leave, closing the door behind her.Alexander sat back down, taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh as he leaned back and interlaced his fingers behind his head.He wondered how Camilla would react to his response to the lawsuit she served him. "Let's see how this goes," he murmured to himself.•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~"Ma'am, please try to stay calm," Lauren urged, watching as Camilla paced frantically around her office, muttering to herself and the sound of her heels striking the hardwood floor."Calm down?

    Peggy turned to Alexander, who gave her a subtle nod, before addressing Mr. Filler's question. "The answer is yes," she said confidently, making both Camilla and Mr. Filler raise their eyebrows in interest."We have a significant amount of evidence to support our claim," Peggy added, before pulling out a blue file from her briefcase and placing it in front of Mr. Filler and Camilla."In this file, you'll find my client's hospital test results taken the day after the incident between him and Miss Kings occurred, which show a high level of alcohol in his bloodstream.""This clearly proves that he was drunk that night," she disclosed, looking straight at Camilla, who had an annoyed expression on her face."And does that justify what he did to me?" Camilla asked angrily, glaring at Peggy."Miss Kings, may I ask you a question?" Peggy said, addressing Camilla in a professional manner."We're you drunk on the night of the incident?" Peggy inquired, her gaze fixed on Camilla as she awaited h

    Alexander let out a sigh of relief as he settled into his bed, eager for some peace and quiet. But just as he closed his eyes, his phone began buzzing.Groaning, he reached for it, and upon seeing the caller ID, answered groggily. "Yes?" he mumbled, but there was no response.Annoyed, he snapped, "What is it?" and rubbed his eyes, trying to shake off the drowsiness."Sir, Mr. Carson is here to see you," informed one of his employees through the speakerphone.He quickly sat up straight and replied with more urgency than intended, "Keep him entertained, I'll be down in five." He ended the call, determined to meet with Mr. Carson.Sighing deeply, he placed his phone back onto the nightstand. He massaged his face with his hands before rising from the bed. After swiftly changing into fresh clothes, he made his way downstairs to meet his guest.•~•~•~•~•~•~"I didn't expect you to arrive so soon," Alexander said with a smirk as he laid eyes on the young man sitting on the couch in his livi

    "No." Camilla shook her head slowly as she took a sip of water from the glass cup in her hand. "That's not going to happen," she said firmly."Oh come on, Bambina,(Baby) it's just a pretense, nothing more," Alessia said, sounding excited over the phone as Camilla sat back on her sofa."Mamma, you made me have a meeting with him and his attorney. How did that turn out?" Camilla asked, her brow furrowing as she waited for her mother's response.There was a pause for a few seconds before Alessia spoke again, "Well..." Camilla detected the hesitation in her mother's voice and raised her eyebrow slightly."Exactly. And then you persuaded me to meet with him again, and this time what happened? He asked me to pretend to be in a relationship with him so the public wouldn't see me as a woman who sleeps with rich men," she said with disgust.There was a heavy sigh on the other end of the line, and Camilla bit her lip."Bambina,(Baby) I don't think that's what he meant when he said that.

    Alexander's eyebrows rose in surprise at Camilla's threat, but he was not intimidated. He let out a chuckle and shot Camilla a quick glance before returning his attention to the road."Is that so?" He said with a hint of amusement in his tone."I didn't know that your talents extend beyond heartbreaks, to physical harm as well," he said, his tone laced with sarcasm and a hint of amusement.A smirk played on his lips as he looked over at her, noting the redness on her cheeks from anger. He gave her an innocent smile, waiting for her reaction."Stop the car," she said in a commanding tone.He pretended to not hear her, "Pardon?" he asked, casting a quick glance in her direction.Her frustration grew as she noticed the hint of amusement on his face."I said, stop the car Alexander!" she repeated, her voice now tinged with annoyance, her emphasis on his name indicating her growing irritation.With a sudden jolt, he slammed on the brakes, causing Camilla to be jolted forward against her s

    A resounding clap echoed through the room as Charles applauded Alexander, his tone dripping with sarcasm."Wow!... I guess I underestimated your girl then... hmmm, you're one lucky man, Alexander," Charles taunted."It took your lover just a few minutes to discover who I really was when I drove her to her destination, but you dummies, despite spending years with me..." Charles paused for effect before continuing sharply, "...didn't have a clue."He then shifted his attention to Harriet, offering a bright smile.

His mind raced as he realized it was Camilla's phone.Slowly, Alexander reached out and picked up the device, a face-down iPhone. He turned it over to reveal the blank screen.With a soft double-tap, the phone came to life, prompting him for a passcode.Without hesitation, he input the code, granting access to the phone's contents.

    Charles paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, his hand hovering over the doorknob.He hesitated, unsure of what awaited him on the other side.Just as his fingertips grazed the cold metal, the door swung open, revealing a breathtaking woman in her mid-thirties.Her long black hair cascaded down, framing her face with a sense of elegance.Her hazel eyes, piercing yet familiar, held a sense of curiosity.She was dressed in an elegant black gown that accentuated her curves, an hourglass figure that caught Charles' attention.A white stethoscope hung from her neck, hinting at her profession."Mr. Wilton," she began, a small smile dancing on her lips. "You are here?" Charles furrowed his brow."Yes, I just arrived. Doctor... How is my grandmother?" he inquired, his gaze shifting from the woman to the room beyond her.She glanced briefly over her shoulder, then turned back to face him."She's stable at the moment," the doctor said, her voice composed and professional."However, we need

    "Pull the trigger." the male whispered behind Charles as he held the loaded GLOCK 19 pistol pointed at Mary who was huddled in a corner, drenched in sweat and covered in bruises as a result of all kinds of torture, sobbing quietly.His hands holding the pistol trembled, "Please," he begged for the second time. "I can't do this."The shadowy figure behind him persisted, his voice barely above a whisper. "Do it, Charles. You know you want to. End her life quickly and painlessly. It won't take more than a second.""I can't," Charles whispered, his voice choked with emotion. "I can't kill her.""If you don't pull the trigger, I'll do it myself," the menacing figure threatened from the darkness, causing Mary to shake her head vehemently and sob louder than before."No, Charles, don't listen...to him. You love me. You won't...kill me. You don't have to." She said in between hiccups and gut-wrenching sobs.Charles's breaths were ragged as he shook his head, tears streaming down his cheeks as

    Camilla's heart dropped, her body frozen in shock and horror at his confession. The room felt oppressive, the atmosphere charged with an eerie energy.Tears welled up in Charles's eyes as he continued to laugh, his grip tightening on Camilla's arm. "Oh, the look on her face when I took her last breath," he rasped, his voice laced with sadistic delight.Camilla's mind raced, the gravity of the situation sinking in. She needed to find a way to escape, to get out of this nightmare before it was too late.Charles's laughter finally faded, replaced by a deranged grin.

    Camilla remained unconscious, her body rigidly bound to a chair in the dimly lit room.A black bag covered her head, concealing her features until it was abruptly snatched away.In the eerie silence, Charles's shoes clicked softly as he paced around her, only to come to a stop right in front of her.A sickeningly sadistic tone laced his words as he spoke. "We're here, princess. It's time to wake up," he declared, holding her gaze steadily with his hazel eyes.Minutes stretched on, yet there was no response from Camilla. Growing impatient, Charles decided to take a more forceful approach.Leaning in, he pressed his lips against hers, his tongue slipping along her bottom lip in a crude act of dominance.At first, there was no reaction whatsoever, until suddenly her teeth sank into his lower lip, causing him to instinctively pull away, his face contorting in pain.A humorless chuckle reverberated around the room as he held his injured lip, blood trickling down his chin."Feisty, aren't w

    Alexander arrived at the hotel, well past midnight. He carefully shut the door, assuming Camilla was already inside and likely asleep.As he entered the room, he was engulfed in darkness.After a tiring day at the hospital, all he desired was to relax in a soothing bath and snuggle up in bed with Camilla.In order to brighten up the space, he flipped the switch on the wall. What he saw in the illuminated suite left him stunned.He noticed a shattered vase lying on the floor, its delicate pieces scattered around.The once elegant golden statue, used for decoration and formerly perched on the shelf, now lay broken into two separate parts on the ground.A peculiar sight greeted him as he glanced towards the floor, where an unusually large amount of sand seemed to have accumulated.His gaze then shifted to the bed, which appeared disheveled and empty, though with slight signs of recent disturbance.Camil...Camilla?" His voice trembled with worry as he cautiously made his way into the room

    After entering her hotel suite, Camilla hastily secured the door before collapsing onto the floor.Her handbag tumbled beside her, and her phone spilled out in the process.Breathing heavily, her breath labored, she struggled to regain her composure.Adrenaline coursed through her veins, leaving her feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous.Suddenly, she felt the contents of her stomach rising, threatening to escape her mouth.With great effort, she managed to contain it, pushing herself to her feet despite her unsteady balance.She made a hasty dash for the bathroom, where she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.Camilla knelt in front of the toilet, her body racked with retching and her breath coming in gasps.The cool bathroom tiles pressed against her cheek as she tried to steady herself.Time seemed to stretch on endlessly as she endured the ordeal, and eventually, the vomiting subsided, leaving her feeling utterly drained and trembling.She carefully stood up, holding
