Millie's POV

I woke up to the gentle sound of my phone vibrating. I looked at the screen, wishing I could ignore it, when I saw Dave's name pop out. I had enough disasters for now, and I did not need another. Whatever he had to say, it couldn't be good if he called me at this ungodly hour.

" What is it?" I finally picked up since he was calling over and over again.

" Sorry, boss, but I really need you here," Dave said, and I felt like deja vu. What the hell was happening right now? Did the construction site be caught on fire? Well, I would not be surprised.

" Boss, the new material arrived," Dave added, and I abruptly sat straight on the bed. I cursed myself as Alex groaned in his sleep.

" I will be there soon," I said and moved out of bed. After a quick shower, I was ready, but then it hit me that I should at least make some breakfast for my husband. I made an omelette and poured him juice. One last glance at the table, and I was out.

I could not sit calmly in the ta

No father, let alone a business man, who wants to make a profit would let this happen. It makes no sense. It’s a bummer as I liked Alex and Millie but I think I am done.

    Alexander's POV. It took me over an hour to discuss the final arrangements with Michael. He tried to talk me out of my idea, suggesting that my employees would try to use the new privileges. Again, I had to remind him that he worked as MY lawyer and my decision was final. We have parted both in sour moods. Nevertheless, I could not care less about his opinion. I was exhausted, but I had a few more meetings that required my presence. Luckily, the rest of the day was relatively uneventful, and I waited for the end of the day with anticipation. I was curious about Millie's day. Did the supplier keep his word and deliver the new material? If not, I was going to keep my end of the bargain. When I arrived home, Millie was already setting up the table. She did not talk much unless asked, and when we sat down to eat, I could see she was more pushing the food around her plate than actually eating. " Not the best day?" I asked, placing my plate in the dishwasher. " It was bittersweet, I

    Third POV Sandra sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. Mark sat next to her, placing his hand on her tummy. " How is the baby? How was a check-up?" Sandra lowered her gaze to hide a smirk forming on her lips. She left their apartment early under the pretext of having an appointment with a midwife. Instead of going to the hospital, she spent time with her friend, who gave her old ultrasound photos of her daughter. Maxine knew Sandra's plan and agreed to participate, as she had never liked Millicent. If there was anything that could harm Sandra's step-sister, Maxine was full on board. Now, Sandra handed the photos to Mark, watching his face lit up. " Our baby is magnificent. And so is you. The pregnancy has no impact on you. Your body is still perfect. " Sandra chuckled. " I am not one of those pregnant women who eats everything than can, pretending it is for a baby. " She said with an innocent tone. It was obvious that her body remained the same since she was not pre

    Millie's POV The following two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Since Brian's team started work, the whole construction site has changed. After the first week, they managed to build a complete base of the warehouse. They were professional and organised; I could say they were better than the workers from my father's company. Brian was friendly and easygoing. Working with him was a pleasure. He often joked around, but at the same time, he treated his job very seriously. I could finally relax, knowing my project was in good hands. With Brian's help, I could finish this task way before the deadline. After the first troubles, everything was going smoothly. And all of that was possible because of Alex. This man was like my guardian angel, sent by the heavens at the worst time of my life. I only doubted that any angel would be so good in bed. Every day, he asked me about my progress, and I had to remind myself not to overload him with stories, as he probably was asking out

    Millie's POV It was painful to see Gabi like that. She looked like a complete mess. I did the only thing I could do at the moment like that. I sat next to her and hugged her tightly. " Are you sure about that? It is quite a serious suspicion," I said, stroking Gabi's hair while she was sobbing. I was never a huge fan of Michael. This man was, in my opinion, controlling and incredibly possessive. We never clicked, not that I tried too much. He seemed the complete opposite of what I would imagine Gabrielle would like dating. But as long as my friend was happy, I had no other choice but to suck it up. I moved my hand and lifted Gabi's face. " Talk to me. I can not help you if you won't tell me what is going on," I told her softly. Gabrielle took a calming breath, and I handed her a tissue. This woman was always a perfect picture of independence. I could not stand seeing her so broken because of a man. " I don't know, but he is different. Cold, distant." Gabrielle

    Alexander's POV " Can you start making pasta?" Millie asked me without stopping stirring the sauce. She was wearing my apron and looked very professional while cooking. " Are you sure that would be enough? I could always make some salad." I offered gently to spare myself a side-eye. Millie mentioned a fancy dinner, and now she settled with spaghetti. Well, I had a different idea of a fancy meal, but who am I to judge? " Are you suggesting that my food is not enough?" Millie raised her brow, and I suddenly felt cornered in our apartment's tiny kitchen. Why did I open my mouth? I could just happily make pasta and remain silent. Millie noticed my expression and burst into laughter, but I did not want to lower my guard. " We could survive on chips with ketchup and a can of soda. Trust me, Gabi will appreciate my cooking. " I have nodded to that statement. Why was I even bothered? Millie's spaghetti was delicious, after all. When the pasta was slowly getting ready, I

    Third-party POV I was so stunned I could barely breathe. There was no one else than Alexander Foster sitting casually before me, and my best friend was oblivious to whom she had married. " But how?" I managed to whisper, glancing at the door where Millie disappeared. " I spilt her coffee," the man replied, sipping his wine. " Spilling someone's coffee does not end at the wedding altar," I hissed, forgetting who I talked to. " Does she even know the truth?" Alex flashed me a pearly smile. " Not yet." That was not much of an explanation, but what else did I expect? Alexander Foster. How many times have I heard Michael mentioning his name? The ruthless billionaire who was ready to crush anyone who crossed their paths with him. Michael loved to talk about their businesses. I could not help but think he envied him as well. But who wouldn't? This man was basically sleeping on cash. His wealth was growing with every breath he took. No wonder he was the man every woman d

    Alexander's POV Gabrielle left, and I was still standing outside with a goofy smile. Millie had feelings for me, at least, her friend was thinking that. She could not be wrong, could she? The warm feeling spread inside my chest, but my happiness was short-lived. My phone buzzed, and I saw a notification. It was a text message from Brian. What the hell could he want at this time of day? ' Call me.' Those two words flashed on the screen, and my stomach twisted. I dialled his number. Hopefully, he did not engage himself in another fight in some random bar. " What is it?" I almost barked when he answered his phone. It was really not a good time. Millie was waiting upstairs. We had a serious talk to make. " Sorry, Alex, I did not mean to bother you in the evening." Brian's tone was apologetic, and I felt like a pri*k. He was my friend and could need my help, and I was taking frustration out on him. " It is okay, Brian. Is everything fine?" " Yeah... Well, not exactly. One

    Third POV I could not believe my own eyes. I was standing hidden behind the tree, watching the construction site. My fists were balling; my nails left a painful mark on my skin. How was it even possible? The work was going at full speed and looked like it would be done any day now. Since I could not endure it anymore, I jumped into my car and drove off. The whole plan was falling into pieces. My entire plan that was supposed to be a masterpiece. I took all precautions to ensure Millicent would fail on this task. She was going to face an ultimate disaster. I made sure she would have no materials to start work. I have convinced her father to decline her request for workers. Millicent should be crawling back to ask, begging for help. Which we would gracefully offer her in exchange for her profit share. She would end up penniless and humiliated. And yet, there she was, handling it all perfectly. I could not imagine how she managed to get the material or the building crew. I

    Third-party POV **Warning-sex scene*** I thought about Gabrielle. And how lucky I was that it was over. This accident was a blessing. Now, I could focus on things that really mattered. My career was blooming. The cases I worked on made me more and more respected in our circle. Everyone knew I was fearless, always ready to fight until the blood was drawn, no matter whose blood it was. I turned around to look at the woman peacefully sleeping by my side. She was a stunning beauty and had a position that could help me a lot in the future. I moved my hand across her full breast and squeezed her nip*ple, which hardened under my touch. My di*k responded to that immediately. She was a great lover, always willing to fulfil my needs. No wonder when her husband was too busy to appreciate what he had. I could use that instead. " Hmm...," Monic mumbles softly. " Ready for more? " With you, I am always ready. How much time do we have left?" Monic glanced at the fancy clock hanging

    Millie's POVI watched as Gabrielle sighed, preparing for another physio session. It had been two weeks since she started, but there had been no results. " Do I really have to go there? After each session, I feel exhausted but there is no improvement, " she whined as I helped her to dress. It became our daily routine, and I could only roll my eyes when she was not looking. We both knew how this conversation was going to end. " Yes, you have to go. The result won't happen by themselves. If you want to walk again, you must bite your teeth and let them do their job." Gabrielle's head lowered. " What if I never walk again? What is the point of all of that? We both know this may never happen." This was the part I hated the most. I was scared that one day, my friend would lose her whole hope and give up. " It will happen," I whispered, hoping my voice would not break. " How can you be so sure about that?" Gabrielle looked me straight in the eyes. " I do not know!" My voice betrayed me

    Third-party POV" Is it all you got?" Deborah Brown leaned in her chair and smiled. " Is this not enough?" I replied, mimicking her movements. " You show me a video where I walk with my daughter. Since when has that been enough to keep me here? I thought you were a professional. I feel disappointed." My hands balled, but I confined my anger quickly. It was not my first rodeo, and I dealt with people like her all the time. " Do not spoil everything. I am just warming up." I pressed the button, and another video started. This time, it was a recording from the parking lot. "Does it look familiar?" Deborah Brown glanced at the screen, but her face remained emotionless. " Seriously? This one is even better than the last one. Some people in masks and a random car." I smiled gently. This was going to be interesting. " The car is not just a random car. It belongs to Millicent Brown. Isn't she, by any chance, your stepdaughter?" Mrs Brown shrugged her arms. " Maybe. What does that have

    Alexander's POVI ran into Adam's office practically but couldn't care less. Nothing else mattered since he told me there was a chance to find out who had damaged my wife's car. " Someone is eager to discover the truth," Chief Cleaveland greeted me with a soft smile, utterly unfazed by my intrusion." Did you find anything?" I asked, shaking his hand. " Anything is not the word I would use. I think I know everything already," Adam replied, returning to his chair. I sat on mine, breathing deeply. " Out of form?" he joked, but I could only think about what he had discovered, so I raised my eyebrow. " Okay, okay, jokes aside," Adam said, fixing his glasses on his nose and turning his attention to the computer on his desk. " It took me a while to put my hands on the record from the carpark. The owner of the building was pretty adamant about keeping them secret." " Was he involved?" I asked, surprised. What could this person have against Millie? " No, I think he is just against police

    Third-party POV" It is over. We ran out of money. Any day now, people will start banging at our doors, asking about their paychecks. I can pay them this month, but then nothing will be left for us."I looked at my husband. This man was supposed to be my ticket to a comfortable, luxurious life, but everything has gone downhill. It was not how I imagined my life after years of poverty. " Is there nothing you can do?" I asked, fixing my gold bracelet. I have always loved jewellery and promised myself that one day I would have tons of it. And I kept my promise. Brown has been spoiling me with it since we met, and I was not ready to give up on that. "There is nothing we can do. I do not have new projects, and without them, there will be no income. I am sure you understand that!" His voice rose, and my eyes darkened. I did not like how he said 'we'. There was no 'we' until he got back on his feet, but I was not going to tell him that now. For now, he had to believe I was still the same l

    Millie's POVTwo weeks passed in a blur, but it was finally that day. Gabrielle would be discharged from the hospital. I could not hide my excitement, even if my friend were nothing like her old self. No matter how much I tried, Gabrielle seemed distant and quiet. The smile barely showed on her lips, and my heart was breaking seeing her like this. " Ladies, are you ready?" Alex came into the room after I helped Gabrielle dress up. I was happy that she had let me in this much. " I think we have everything sorted," I replied, smiling at my friend. She forced a smile, but it did not look sincere. " Where are we going?" Gabi asked in a quiet voice. " That is a surprise," Alex said with a mischievous smile. " I promise you will like it."I heard about this surprise for last week but had no idea what it was, as Alex said nothing to me. He has been very secretive, disappearing for long hours. He promised me it was nothing bad, and I decided to trust him. " Very well. Then we should mov

    Alexander's POV " Your wife got herself into trouble again?" Adam Cleaveland greeted me with a smile. But he quickly got serious when I did not smile back. " Do not tell me she did." " Not directly," I replied, taking a seat. " I came to ask about a car accident." " Did you become a private detective now?" " No, I haven't," I shook my head. " My wife's best friend was involved in an accident. Gabrielle Hamilton." " Oh, that," Chief Cleaveland nodded, " nasty hit, I must say. This woman was fortunate." " This woman was driving my wife's car," I said dryly. " If the car belonged to your wife, then it explains a lot," Adam looked at me with understanding. " What is bothering you, son?" " My wife says that her friend is a cautious driver. In the hospital, Gabrielle woke up for a brief moment and said that she could not slow down. Her words are still ringing in my head." " Brakes failure; that happens a lot," Adam shrugged his arms. " Do you think about something

    Millie's POV When Alex left, I returned to Gabi's side. Her parents went to eat, and I stayed in case something terrible happened to my friend. " Hold on, Gabs, you can do it," I said, pressing my forehead to her hand. It was cold and almost lifeless, but I knew my friend would never give up. At least, I hoped she wouldn't. I raised my head when the door opened, but I did not turn my head, assuming that another nurse would be coming to do a check-up. " How is she?" I heard a male's voice behind me. Michael finally showed up. I had no strength or desire to look at him. " Not good," I replied without emotion. " What did the doctor say?" Michael moved to the other side of the bed. " That we need to wait and pray," I gave him an answer. It has been hours since I called him, and he could not make it sooner. " I see," Michael mumbled and sat on the chair. I glanced at him. He looked surprisingly calm, staring at Gabrielle. Almost as if he were unfazed by this situati

    Alexander's POVI embraced Millie as she cried her eyes out. That was the only thing I could do right now. How can you cheer up someone whose friend is fighting for life? What can you say in a moment like that? I sat beside my wife, helping her to get through this. I prayed for Gabrielle to survive the operation. Her death would break Millie beyond repair. " She has to be alright," Millie whispered between sobs. It was the first time she had spoken since I have found her. " She will be alright," I said, hating myself for feeding her with promises that could not happen. ' What if Gabi...' I could not find the courage to finish the thought. Instead, I hugged Millie tighter. " We should go where they took her," Millie looked at me, and I gave her a slight nod. She grabbed my hand, and I helped her to stand up. " I promised I would not leave her; now, she is there all alone."" They are helping her. Gabi is under a good care," I replied slowly. We strolled through the hall. I asked som
