Elena’s POV

The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was thick with tension. Daniel and I had dressed up and arrived at the reserved apartment, anticipating a confrontation. As we walked into the room where Phila had arranged everything, Daniel’s face froze in shock. There, sitting calmly, was Alex.

Daniel blinked, disbelief in his eyes. "Alex? What are you doing here?"

Alex slowly turned, a smirk playing on his lips. "You told me to come, remember? You texted me."

Daniel’s confusion deepened. "No, I didn’t! I never texted you."

I couldn’t help but enjoy the unraveling drama. With a sly smile, I crossed my legs and leaned back. "Wow, Daniel, I’m impressed. You’re truly something. But let me clear the air—I did the texting. I needed you both here. After all, birds of the same feather…"

Daniel, pale and anxious, stood up and grabbed my arm. "Elena, please, I can explain—"

His guards and househelps were all looking at us like we just started a movie.“Please let me explain myself.” He grabbed my hand.“Explain yourself? Why?” I scoffed looking at him with disinterest.“About me not being honest with you. I’m sorry.” He lowered his head, feeling guilty and I smirked.“You have nothing to apologize for, Mr Alex. I am a hopeless girl who you came through for”. I spilled bluntly.“Elena, please stop sounding this way. Okay, fine I didn’t want to tell you anything about me yet because you were not at the right place to listen to me and I was so worried about you.”He said dolefully.“You owe me no explanation and I don’t believe you.

I stood there,speechless and confused as Alex’s words hung in the air.I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Alex, the kind and generous man who had taken me in and cared for me, wanted to be my boyfriend? It was too much to process.“Elena, please say something”, Alex urged, his smile starting to falter.But I couldn’t speak. My mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, and I couldn’t form a coherent sentence.Just then, a voice behind us interrupted the moment. “Alex,what’s going on here?”We turned to see a woman standing in the doorway, her eyes narrowed and her arms crossed.“Rachel what are you doing here?” Alex asked, his tone firm but polite.“I could ask you the same thing”, Rachel replied,her eyes flicking to me. “Who is this…girl?”Alex hesitated,and I could see the conflict in his eyes. “Elena, this is Rachel,my business partner.

"You'll see," he said, his voice low and mysterious. "Just trust me, Elena."I hesitated, unsure if I should proceed. But Alex's enthusiasm was infectious, and my curiosity got the better of me. I nodded, and Alex pushed open the door, revealing a room that took my breath away.The room was dimly lit, with soft music playing in the background. The walls were adorned with beautiful artwork, and the floor was covered with a plush carpet that felt like silk under my feet. But what caught my attention was the centerpiece of the room: a beautiful grand piano, shining like a jewel in the soft light."Wow," I breathed, my eyes fixed on the piano. "This is incredible."Alex smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "I'm glad you like it," he said, walking towards the piano. "I have a surprise for you."And with that,

"How could you lie to me about something so important?"I shook my head, trying to process this new information. An ex-wife? It explained so much - the tension between them, the way Rachel seemed to know Alex's secrets.Alex sighed and rubbed his temples. "I know I should have told you, Elena. But I was scared. I didn't want to lose you."I laughed, a bitter sound. "You're losing me now," I said. "How can I trust you after this?"Alex took a step forward, his eyes pleading. "Elena, please understand. My marriage to Rachel was a mistake. It was a long time ago, and it didn't mean anything. I was young and stupid, and I didn't know what I wanted."I raised an eyebrow. "You were young and stupid? That's no excuse. You're still keeping secrets from me, Alex. How can I believe that you're telling me the truth now?"Alex hesitated, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer of fear in his eyes

I decided to take a nap, hoping to clear my head and recharge.As I lay in bed, I couldn't shake off the feeling of doubt that had been lingering in my mind. What was Daniel hiding? And why was he being so secretive?But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and focused on rest. I slept for a few hours, waking up feeling slightly better.When I walked into the living room, Daniel was sitting on the couch, watching TV. He smiled when he saw me, and I forced a smile back."Hey, how was your day?" he asked, patting the couch next to him.I sat down, trying to act normal. "It was fine.

I want you to keep an eye on Daniel's moves, and see if you can find out what he's up to."Phila's eyes widened, intrigued. "You mean, spy on him?"I nodded. "Exactly. I'm about to make a big decision, and I need to be sure of what I'm doing. If Daniel's hiding something, I need to know."Phila grinned mischievously. "I'm on it. I'll dig up everything I can find."I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Thanks, Phila. I knew I could count on you."Phila nodded. "Don't worry, Elena. We'll get to the bottom of this. And if Daniel's hiding something, we'll expose him."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."Phila pulled out her phone and started typing away. "I'll start by hacking into his phone records, see if he's been in contact with anyone suspicious."I raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"Phila winked. "I have my ways. Leave it to me, Elena.

    Elena’s POV The next morning, I walked into the office, still thinking about Daniel's proposal. Phila noticed the look on my face and asked, "Hey, what's up? You look deep in thought."I sat down at my desk and filled her in on Daniel's suggestion. "He wants us to merge our properties and make him the sole owner," I said, watching for her reaction.Phila's expression turned thoughtful. "That's a big decision," she said. "What do you think about it?"I shrugged. "I don't know. That's why I'm asking for your opinion."Phila leaned back in her chair, steepling her fingers together. "If I were to advise you, I'd say keep your property to yourself."I raised an eyebrow. "Why?"Phila's expression turned serious. "You can't trust anybody, Elena. Especially when it comes to something you've worked hard for. You know what Uncle Smith tried to do to you. What if Daniel...?"I held up a hand, stopping her. "Daniel would never do that to me. He loves me."Phila's expression softened. "I know he

"After that, I'll be changing the locks and taking possession of my property."Mrs. Caroline's eyes welled up with tears, while Mr. Smith's face turned red with rage. But I just smiled, feeling a sense of triumph."I'm done here," I said, turning to leave. "Enjoy your last night in my apartment."Phila followed me out, closing the door behind us. "You were amazing in there," she said, grinning.I smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Thanks, Phila. I couldn't have done it without you."As we walked away from the house, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. I had taken back what was mine, and I had done it with style."Let's go celebrate," Phila said, linking her arm through mine.I nodded, smiling. "Definitely. I think we've earned it."We walked off into the night, ready to start our new life together

Thank you for meeting us here today."We walked into the bank manager's office, where all the necessary documents were laid out on the table.

Because I'm not the Elena you used to know. I'm something more now. Something worse."Phila raised an eyebrow, a small smile playing on her lips. "I think that's enough, don't you, Elena?"I nodded, standing up. "Yes. Let's get out of here. Mr. Johnson, your family will be brought to you before night falls.

Phila and I had called it a day, and I was looking forward to a quiet night in.I took a long, hot shower, trying to wash away the stress and tension of the day. As I got dressed, I heard my stomach growling and headed downstairs to see what was for dinner.Just as I was about to sit down, my phone rang. I hesitated for a moment before answering it."Hello?" I said, expecting it to be Phila or maybe even Mr. Johnson."Elena, it's Detective James," a deep voice said on the other end of the line. "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Alex has escaped from custody."My heart skipped a beat as I felt a surge of fear. "What? How did that happen?""We're not entirely sure yet," Detective James replied. "But we're working on it. In the meantime, I need you to be careful. If Alex is on the loose, you could be in danger."I felt a chill run down my spine as I thought about Alex being out there, possibly coming f

But it's necessary."As we waited, Mr. Johnson walked in, looking frantically around the coffee shop. His eyes landed on us, and he paled."Elena?" he whispered, his voice trembling. "What's going on?
