Xavier~

"No, I don't know her." I shook my head after much deliberation.

I know Jordan's ruthlessness, so I don't want her to become involved in this case any further. Meeting Jordan Lucas could potentially put her life in danger.

"Mr. Thompson, could you please explain why you are misleading him? Officer, please allow me to meet Jordan; I am Xavier's lawyer." She requested that we meet Jordan.

"Sorry, Miss, I can't allow you to meet him until Xavier accepts you as his lawyer." My friend Denial supported my decision.

If I discover the true reason for her visit to the old jail cell, I will not bring her here with me. It's true that last night I desperately wanted her to accompany me to the old prison, but knowing that she came here after leaving her son alone at her house, who was also in a sick condition, makes me feel guilty about telling her about my visit to Jordan.

How could she be so stupid that she left her son to meet Jordan? Does she genuinely believe that this case holds

    Isabella~"Alan, please don't cry; Mama is coming home." He kept calling me after sitting in Xavier's car, so I answered his call. "Mama, it's evening now, and you haven't returned home yet." He voiced his dissatisfaction with me. "Alan, please don't cry; you are Mama's strong boy." The sound of his tears pierced my chest again. I love him more than anything in the world, and I can't imagine him facing any kind of difficulty. "Please take care of yourself; I'll be returning home in two hours." It wasn't until Xavier offered me tissue paper to wipe my tears that I realized they had fallen on my cheeks. I refused his offer to drop me off at my house because I only wanted to spend time with him for work-related matters. However, as soon as I saw how much rain was falling, I quickly changed my mind, thinking of my son's health. This time, I decided to sit in the passenger seat to keep him from ogling my face in the car's rearview mirror. Heavy clouds obscured the sun, engulfing our s

    Xavier~"Alan..." She ran inside her house with tears in her eyes. After hearing her housemaid’s news, she completely lost control of her senses. She threw her mobile and bag on the street, rushing into the house to check on her son. I couldn’t hold myself back from following her inside, concerned about what had happened. I picked up her mobile and purse from the roadside and entered her house without her permission. I knew she didn’t want me here; she didn’t want me to see where she lived, but I couldn’t just stand by while she was this distraught. Her son’s condition and the fact that she had left him alone because of my case weighed on me heavily.I hesitated before entering her hallway, fully aware that no one would welcome me, but my worry overshadowed everything else. The beautifully decorated house made me feel like a trespasser for a moment. Bella had always been precise in everything she did, and this house was no exception. It was full of memories I didn’t know—reflections

    Isabella~"Wh...what type of question is this? He is, of course, my son." My voice faltered upon hearing his query. It unfolded in the manner that frightened me the most. I did everything in my power to keep Xavier from seeing my son, but fate had other plans. Xavier eventually became acquainted with my son. "Bella, I am asking who’s the father of Alan." His eyes are filled with suspicion, and his tone is dominating. "Mr. Thompson, please get out of my house immediately. You have no right to inquire about my personal life." I gestured toward the open hall door. "I'll leave when you respond to my questions." His rage was evident in his voice. I am well aware of his dominating nature. He won't leave until I provide him with a satisfactory response. Even if I'm not prepared to handle the situation right now, I must answer his inquiries. "Alan is my son, and his father is out of town. When he gets back, I'll introduce him. It's too late, so please leave my house now." Even after rec

    Xavier~"Mr. Thompson, I would like to meet you tomorrow morning." Her message beeped on my phone. What does she want to discuss so urgently that she texted me at midnight, even after today’s incident? I pondered over her text. I know She wants to withdraw from my case, but why would she want to meet me again? Placing my phone on the side table, I immersed myself again in today's events. The more I try to put my life and my broken heart back together, the more confused I get. My life has become a gigantic mess.Jordan Lucas is not in prison. Jordan Lucas put Alicia in my life to exact retribution on me, but instead of doing so, he murdered his pawn and ensnared me in her murder investigation. I kept getting more and more entangled in this murder case whenever I attempted to gather evidence that would show my innocence. However, my conflicting emotions toward Isabella are exacerbating the situation, not to mention that the murder case itself is the primary cause of my distress. Even

    Isabella~"Tell me, what is his weakness?" I peered attentively at his face. "I must go, Miss Luis, but I'll get back to you when I find Jordan." He hurriedly rose from his chair and headed for the office door. "No, you can't leave me in the dark about his weakness. I want to know where you are going." To obstruct his path, I leaped ahead of him. "Before I reveal everything to you, Miss Luis, I would like to clarify my suspicions, as I am uncertain if this path will lead me to Jordan or not." He looked surprised to see me blocking his way. "It's no matter how minor details you find about Jordan; as your lawyer, I have every right to be fully informed." I looked into his eyes and refused to let him go until he shared the details with me. "Miss Luis, you act like a little child." He shook his head in disappointment. "No, I am doing my work only. Either tell me about his weakness or stay in this office." I extended my arms to fully obstruct his path. "I would love to stay with you

    Xavier~"Have you reached home?" As she answered the call, I heard a strong, masculine voice on her phone."I am going to find Jordan Lucas," she glanced at me before speaking into the phone. I maintained my focus on the road, feigning not to hear her, but my curiosity was piqued. Who was this man that had her so terrified she broke into a cold sweat when his number flashed on her screen?"Bella, please stop this nonsense. Do you even see the time? You're going to search for a gangster at eleven o'clock in the evening?" The irritation in the man's voice was palpable."Don't worry about me; I'm not alone. I'm with Mr. Thompson," she replied, hesitating to meet my gaze again. But I continued to act as though I couldn't hear the words."The icing on the cake is that you're chasing Jordan Lucas with that murderer! Bella, I told you to stay away from that bastard, but you ignored my warnings. I'm coming back tomorrow, and we will have a conversation." The anger in the man's voice escalated

    Isabella~"What's your name?" John's hungry eyes made me uncomfortable as I entered his house. "Laura." Before I could come up with a convincing lie to John, Xavier spoke up. "What's your relationship with her?" John's face seems angry at seeing Xavier following me inside his room. "She is my wife." He sat across from me and placed his hand firmly on my shoulder. That surprised me—this protective aspect of him. I want to stop him from claiming me as his wife, but I know it's not the right time to argue, so I force a smile on my face. Goosebumps race down my spine as I feel his strong arm encircling my shoulder. "If you're interested, I can show you other horses, but I've already sold that particular one." When John saw that Xavier was sitting next to me, he frowned. "Mr. Martin, please don't say no to me; I like that horse." I got up from my place and sat next to John. "Umm, let me think about how I can help you." He tried to touch my thigh. His hungry gaze irritates me greatly,

    Xavier~"I will provide you with his address, but I need to know what I will receive in return for this favor.""Provide me with his address. I can do whatever you desire."The scene where he flirted with Bella flashed before my eyes as I turned on the shower. How could she show such madness? I never expected her to be so reckless. Bella forbade me from being involved, even though the way he touched her in front of me made me want to tear his skin off. He had attempted to forcefully kiss her while pointing his gun at me.I've faced situations like this many times before. This wasn't the first time a man had aimed a pistol at me, but this time, Bella was involved, and that changed everything. Observing how he was occupied with coercing her, I quickly grabbed the vase from the table and hurled it at his arm, hoping to deflect his gun. The bullet missed my leg as he squeezed the trigger in pain. I told Bella to run, but even at that moment, she was still thinking about Jordan's address.

    Xavier~"Please don't give me to the police. I'll tell you everything." That boy held my hand and pleaded with me, desperation dripping from every word."Tell me the truth, or I will report you to the police." I threatened him again. Although I was thankful for him saving my life, my mind was filled with doubts after seeing him living in this deserted place. Because of the unexpected flood, the government had strictly forbidden people from residing close to the river. Those who disobeyed faced severe penalties and fines for violating the regulation."Tell me, what’s your connection with Jordan Lucas?" Seeing his quietness, I threatened him once again."Jordan Lucas?" He gave me a perplexed expression, genuinely confused."Don't lie. I know he sent you here to keep your eye on us." I narrowed my eyes and gave him a doubtful glance, every nerve on edge."Sir, I don't have any idea who you’re talking about. I’m a student doing my research on submarine life." He quickly handed me his iden

    Isabella~The cold water felt like an ointment to my burned skin, but soon I found myself flowing with the river's current. My hands felt numb in the chilly water as I attempted to swim against the stream. I had trouble breathing as water began to fill my nose. I looked around in search of Xavier, but I was unable to find him in the violent current.My body was still in shock from witnessing the car blast. I had never been this close to death before—never felt it breathe against my neck the way it did now. I made every attempt to locate the riverbank so that I could escape the current, but I was unable to do so since my hands and feet were not functioning properly.I heard the roar of the rushing water grow louder, and my swimming became more desperate. I was about to plunge into the waterfall ahead if I didn't exit the river's grip. This river would plummet vertically off the edge. If I didn't get out now, I would tumble down the cliff and that would be the end.I fought the river wi

    Xavier~“Bella, what did you do? I am now sure he will not show any mercy to us.” Jordan Lucas' threats rattled my body. His eyes blazed with anger and retaliation. The moment he saw us in the court, he was fuming with anger. I am well aware of Jordan Lucas' nature. Once he decides something, he will not back out of it, no matter how far he has to go to achieve the desired outcome.“Bella, why did you discuss another case in this court when we already have difficulty handling Victor's murder case?” I looked at her with a complaint-filled gaze. I am well aware that she is not doing anything wrong, but I don't think messing with Jordan Lucas in every situation is a good idea.“Xavier, I didn't have any choice at that time. Can't you see how Andrew argued with us in today’s court session? He is one step ahead of us. He came here well prepared, and we would have lost this case in today's hearing if I hadn't diverted the court's attention to the recent crimes of Jordan Lucas.” She sits on

    Isabella~“My lord, Jordan Lucas not only killed Victor Thompson but he also killed two of my staff by burning them alive. He not only took the lives of those two innocent people but he also burned my costly property.” I turned to look at Jordan Lucas with hate-filled eyes. Now he has to pay a high price for his sins. I waited for the perfect opportunity to enter the court so that I could see this fear-filled expression on his face. When I saw Jordan Lucas, I felt retaliation and rage in every cell of my body. How could he burn those two innocent individuals so viciously? I saw no trace of regret in his eyes. His brutality went beyond all bounds.“Objection, my lord, Mrs. Thompson is trying to mislead the case. She is attempting to squander the court's valuable time by involving my client in her latest baseless charges, even though we are here to discuss Victor's case.” Andrew rose from his seat and gave me a furious glare.“Andrew is correct, Mrs. Thompson; your statements seemed un

    Xavier~"Bella, what are we going to find in this dusty area?" I looked at her with confusion. The house was covered with black dust. A shiver ran down my spine as I saw the state of the house. We would have been buried under the ground by now if we hadn't left this house on time. I am afraid of losing Bella while trying to send Jordan Lucas to jail."Take off your shoes and don't touch anything in the home, Xavier." She handed me the gloves after removing them from her suitcase."What are you saying, Bella? How am I supposed to remove my shoes on this dusty floor?" I gave her a perplexed look."Xavier, do what I am saying."I removed my shoes and shook my head in disappointment when I saw her demanding gaze. "Bella, please stop using the magnifying glass; we are not detectives." She took the magnifying glass out of her bag and then began to look at the burned items available in the house.I don't understand what new hobby she developed as a detective. She carries everything with he

    Isabella~"What are you going to do now, Bella?" Xavier's eyes brimmed with curiosity. "I don't know, Xavier; I only have to win Victor's case by hook or crook." I sighed deeply and fixed my gaze on the laptop screen. My attention was drawn to my phone's buzzing sound. "Are you okay, Bella?" I heard James' anxious voice on the call. "Yeah, we are all right, but why did you sound so worried?" I asked him. "I watched the news on TV." After listening to him, I became aware of the impact this news had on my family. They had no idea what was going on here. "Don't worry about us, James; everything is OK." His worry is evident in the weight of his voice. "I feared we lost you both, Bella." I heard him sobbing. "It was part of my plan, James. I am well aware of Jordan Lucas' cruelty. That's why I have already moved out of that house. I don't want any of you to get into problems, so please don't contact me again." I cautioned him once more. "Bella, everyone is concerned about you and

    Xavier~"What are you doing here, Bella?" I got up from my bed when I didn't find her in our bedroom. I looked for her in the kitchen but she's not there. Where has she gone on such a late night? I looked in the study room, the hall, the terrace, and the balcony, but she wasn't there. My worry increased about her even more when she did not receive her phone. She is so upset because of Jordan Lucas' case. He destroyed all the evidence of his crime, and the next court hearing is in one week. I am afraid that she didn't take any dangerous steps due to depression. "Xavier, why do you look so tense? Is everything okay?" She put her file inside and looked at me casually as if nothing had happened. Upon seeing her in the old file storage room, I felt a sense of relief. "What are you doing in this room?" I turned my face to look at that dirt-filled room with confusion. "Xavier, we were worried about the evidence, but we forgot that we had the hidden treasure in this house." She got up f

"What's wrong with this house, Bella?""He will attack us at any time to remove us from his path. I don't want to take any risks." My heartbeat was still erratic from the near-fatal accident earlier. The image of the truck speeding toward us replayed in my mind like a nightmare.Xavier let out a frustrated sigh. "Sometimes I don't understand you, Bella. On one hand, you're so brave—boldly challenging Jordan Lucas, standing firm in court—and on the other, you're terrified of him?" He held my hand, searching my eyes for an answer.I tightened my grip on his fingers. "No, Xavier. I am not afraid of him. I am afraid of losing you." My voice cracked with emotion.

Avoid wasting your time on him." I held her wrist tightly, stopping her from following him."Xavier, you surprised me today. Why didn't you tell me about this proof before?" As we sat in the car, she arched a brow at me, suspicion flickering in her eyes."Bella, I didn't hide anything from you. I was also unaware of this evidence; it was a last-minute idea, and I'm pleased it succeeded." I shrugged my shoulders, watching her reaction."Xavier, what are you saying? How is this possible? I saw your confidence in the courtroom—no one could tell this was last-minute." Her eyes widened in disbelief."Mrs. Thompson, Andrew was the one who inspired me to provide this evidence." A small smirk played on my lips."Andrew? How?" She crossed her arms over her chest, demanding an explanation."My blood was boilin
