Tears filled her eyes, and she had a profound, unadulterated feeling of weakness. Breathing heavily, her thoughts racing over the ramifications of her secret being revealed, the room felt as like it was closing in on her.Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she could feel her colleagues' piercing gaze going straight through her. Every murmur was like a knife, every look like criticism.Her legs felt like lead, yet she wanted to escape, to hide from the curious stares and the incessant murmurs.The betrayal wounded her deeply, making her feel vulnerable and ashamed. Now, her intimate and vulnerable private moment with Alex was exposed for everyone to know.The tears she'd been keeping back eventually broke free and silently traced down her cheeks as she stood there, unable to find the courage to reply.When she did find her voice, it was barely a murmur, choked with emotion. "I... I can explain." However, the statements seemed meaningless, and she was aware that there was no way to
Answering indirectly he uttered, “Sir, we have been able to find one of the posing policemen.”“Good,”“So, how do we locate him?” Alex inquired“We do have his address, Sir.”“Go get your things ready and gather two men from your team who will accompany us alongside. We are going there right away!” Alex instructed.“Okay sir.” He responded, exited the office afterwards.Alex, who had already arranged his belongings in preparation for the end of the workday, exited his office and made his way to the ground floor.Upon seeing the receptionist, he instructed her to contact the HR department to inform them that he was in need of a new personal assistant. She accepted the obligation with a nod.As he stepped out of the building, his eyes caught sight of Amelia, and he walked towards her. As he arrived at her standing spot, he turned to Amelia, his eyes filled with concern. “Are you okay?” he asked softly.Amelia nodded, though her voice was shaky. “I think so,” she replied, taking a deep
Following his words, his team members stepped aside, revealing the girl standing behind them.The coordinator's wife gasped, her eyes widened in disbelief before filling with tears of joy. She rushed forward, enveloping her daughter in a tight embrace, both of them crying freely.They held each other for a long moment, their tears of joy mingling as they swayed slightly, lost in the overwhelming relief and happiness of their reunion.The girl clung to her mother, her small frame shaking with sobs of relief and comfort.After that precious moment, the mother turned her tear-streaked face to Alex. "Thank you, thank you so much," she said, her voice thick with gratitude. She extended her thanks to each of Alex's team members, her appreciation evident in her heartfelt words.Alex, also visibly moved, asked, "How about your husband, ma'am?"She replied, "He stepped out briefly, but I will tell him to come see you at the office tomorrow."Alex smiled warmly. "Okay, ma'am, that wouldn't be a
As Alex arrived, Cora, who was sitting still, muttered, "I don't want to speak with you, Alex."Alex felt sad; he never wanted it to come this far, but her continuous threats to Amelia had made him do so.He asked a few questions about her well-being, but Cora ignored him and channeled her energy into emotional blackmail.Alex ignored her tactics and asked how she had managed to get that image of himself and Amelia.Cora laughed maliciously, and thereafter she answered, "The day our engagement was called off, because I still loved you, I felt the need to keep an eye on you."She paused, and then continued, "So, the next day, I used my spare keys to get into your apartment and installed a hidden camera in your bedroom. From time to time, I would check the footage to see if you were with someone else. That night, after witnessing you both together, I watched the video on my PC, where the camera was wirelessly connected, and took a picture of it."Alex was taken aback. He couldn't believ
Following their conversation, Alex turned and walked out of the bar, leaving Flora with a renewed sense of purpose and a heart full of gratitude.He got into his car and rode straight to the office, his mind racing on whether or not to expect any situation awaiting him. Upon his arrival, he was greeted by his employees which he responded to and he headed straight to his office.When Alex arrived at the floor of his office, he walked towards Maxwell's office. "Maxwell," he called out as he entered, "can you remind me of the time of my appointments today and how many people I'll be meeting with?"Maxwell looked up from his desk, consulting his schedule. "You have just two appointments today, sir. One at 2PM and the other at 4PM."Alex nodded thoughtfully. "I'll need you to move the 4PM appointment forward because I need to leave the office by 4PM to prepare for an event tonight.""Okay, sir, I'll do just that," Maxwell responded promptly.A few hours later, the 2PM appointment arrived a
“Amelia!”Mr. Nick screamed Amelia’s name, his expression a pure blank of disbelief. His eyes widened with shock, his usually composed demeanor shattered by the unexpected sight before him.With a tone that blended nostalgia and shock, Mr. Nick said, "I didn't think I'd ever see you again."His gaze remained on Amelia as though attempting to make sense of the situation, his eyes suddenly softer and slightly emotional."Why do I have a feeling that this was a set up?" he questioned, turning to face Alex with a raised eyebrow.With a knowing gleam in his eyes, Alex grinned. "It's true that I really wanted to show you the document, but primarily, I wanted you to meet with Amelia alongside."Mr. Nick's face softened, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He muttered no words, but the relief and curiosity in his eyes spoke volumes. His gaze shifted to Detective Benson, who was seated beside Amelia."Hello sir," Mr. Nick pleaded, his voice gentle yet urgent, "could you come over to th
Mr. Nick took a deep breath, the weight of the revelation heavy in the air. He looked at Amelia, his expression serious, ready to finally unveil the truth.“It was Elsa Reeves,” Mr. Nick revealedAlex's face twisted in frustration, his brows furrowing deeply as his grip tightened on the steering wheel. His neck veins widened as he gave a shout, "Damn it!" His voice echoed in the confined space of the car.His fury was so intense that he smacked his finger into the steering wheel, despite the searing pain.His nostrils flared and his breathing quickened as he attempted to regain control, but the anger that was already blazing fiercely inside of him seemed to get stronger, his thoughts a whirlwind of hatred and helplessness.Following his reaction, Detective Benson, who was seated close to Alex, gave him a calming tap on the shoulder to help him regain his composure.Mr. Nick continued, "One fateful day at the office, while I was having a casual chat with Mr. Walmart, his phone rang," h
Finally, the day of the meeting had arrived, and everyone on the team—including Amelia and Alex—knew how important it was. They carried on with their day, constantly reminding themselves of the meeting's time and place.Mr. Nick stayed back at the hotel to get ready for the 6 PM meeting because he didn't have any work obligations that day.The anticipation increased as the morning became into midday. In the midst of this tension, Mr. Nick was called by Detective Benson, who already had his number."Hello, Mr. Nick," Detective Benson greeted, his voice carrying a hint of urgency. "I hope I'm not disturbing you. I need to know if you still have the evidence from the investigation on Elsa Reeves. It's critical for our case."Mr. Nick paused, his mind flashing back to the painstaking hours he had spent gathering that evidence.He knew how vital it was, not just for the case but for justice to prevail. "Yes, I still have everything," he replied, his voice steady. "I've kept it all safe, kn
