ALEXANDRIA POV

Yawning loudly, I slowly open my eyes to fully comprehend where I am! Slowly I remembered waking up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty only to drink the cup of tea with a strong lemon taste kept besides the bed.

Looking at my bare feet's, I suddenly jolt up from the bed.

“How in the world did I end up in the bed?” I said, checking, and finding my clothes still intact. Feeling relieved, I sat down on the edge of the bed while the memories of last night flashes through my mind.

“Murphy is such a nice guy!” I said smiling.

“Unlike some dude, who took advantage of my helplessness!” I said on remember what happened the last time between me, and Fred.

Standing up, I walked into the bathroom, giggling while freshening up. After checking up on Sande, her grandma, and my dad with a phone call, I decided to phone Murphy.

The phone rang for a while before he picked up. Hearing his voice made my stomach did a little rumbling sound.

“Hello” He sounded like someone

    What promise? Can you kindly remind me about it?” I said politely, not wanting to get on her bad side, so early. Woman and their anger about men's forgetfulness. “About helping me around the city, today? Remember i mentioned going out for shopping today?” She said and i sighs out softly. What about my decision to stay away from this woman?. I ask myself inwardly, when my dick refuses to cool down. “Are you busy today? If you are, please don't not let me disturb you!” She said in a hurry, and I sensed fear. Quickly, i immediately interrupted her. “No….no…nothing of such, Alexis! I will be glad to help you out!” i said, breathing out through my mouth. Wondering if I am making the right decision. “So, when are you ready?” i asked her while I tried to calculate the time for mine own sake. Women, shopping is literally an entire day event. “How about an hour time?” she replied and i paused, trying to check out mine schedules for the day. “One hour later, is fine by me!” I will come

    Thank you, dear!” The items were carefully packed and the cost deducted from her account as wanted by her. “This is yours?” She said, handling two box of dresses to me. Looking at her, I was deeply amazed by ber action. Initially, I thought she was buying them for something else. “Thank you Alexis! Wow! This is amazing, and I really appreciate your kind gesture!” I said, looking at her with a different kind of look I can't even tell what it means. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Like what?"

    ALEXANDRIA POV Murphy actually is a very nice guy, and I am beginning to like him. Waking up feeling peaceful in my spirit, I freshen up, make breakfast of scrambled eggs, toasted bread, and tea. After eating I decided to put a call across Sande. “Hi, girl! How are you doing?” She sounded a little bit low on the phone and it was unlike her. “Are you alright! You don't sound too good!” I asked, feeling worried. “Nothing to worry about, Alex. I am perfectly alright!” She said trying to cheer up. “Sande! When did you start hiding something from me? This is unlike you! Tell me, what is wrong? If it is something I can fix, I will gladly do so!” I said. “I am fine, Alex….”She was still saying something when I suddenly heard someone else voice at the background. “Tell her the truth, Sande, and quit trying to prove how strong of a girl you are! Jeez!" A loud female voice with a heavy Filipino accent spoke up, and I became more worried. “What in god's name is going on, Sande?” I sai

    On getting to the estate gate, we were stopped by some men in black suits who seems to be the security men. “Hello, ma'am! You can't go in without an invitation!" One of the muscled chest men, said with her baritone voice. “Invitation? Oh! I was given one by someone living here!” I said, handle over the card to him. He looked briefly at the exclusive card, then turns to look me as if determining if I am worthy of being given such am invitation. “Excuse me, please!” He said then stepped aside to make a call using the walker-talking phone.

    “My darling! You are a very beautiful girl! Do you mind me asking how old you are?" She said, looking at me."Ma'am, I am twenty five years old, today!" I said, shyly. Yes, today is actually my birthday but I can't remember when I last i celebrated my birthday. Sometimes, I even forget totally about it.“Oh my goodness! You mean, it's your birthday today? Wow! Happy birthday, dear!”“Thank you ma'am!" I said, looking at the glass of juice in my hand.“So, what do you care for? Oh..oh… I know exactly what to do!

Don't behave like a stranger in my house!” She said while standing up, and I did the same.“You know, today is

    “Take this,.... this,... this one,”She kept removing, and throwing clothes from the line, at the Manager's who had been silent walking behind us.“Come this way!" She said, almost dragging me to the next clothes line.The price tag on these ones were simply outrageous for just luxurious dresses. “Take this, this…..we will take this one,...”she kept on saying, and picking them.“Ma'am, I think I am okay with this!” I said, getting alarmed at the bulk of clothes in the Manager's arm. What if I offend her in the future, and she asks me to pay back the things she bought for me? I need to be extra careful and not get carried away by her acts of kindness now!.“Are you sure?” She asked, while staring at my face.“Yes, ma'am!" "Alright, these will do for now.

    “This is ... .this is” I stutter. “Beautiful? You are already beautiful dear, I only brought out the shine in you!” She said, and I jolted up to hug her. She wanted to resist at first probably out of fear for Mrs Ave, but then allowed me to. “Thank you ma'am!” I said, avoiding tearing up and then ruining my makeover with suppressed emotions. “You are welcome!” “Is she done? Oh my goodness! She is hot!" Mrs Maribel said on seeing me. "Of course she is hot! A Blackwood can't be looking unkempt!” Mrs Ave said, and I tried to remember where I had heard of the name Blackwood. it keeps resounding in my brain. “Of course I know about that Merida, you don't need to remind me about your fashion sense!” She said, and they both laughed out loud. “Alright, Maribel! See you some other time!” We walked back to the car, patiently waiting for us. Thirty minutes later we stopped again at the front of an eatery. “Come on, darling!

    “Are you cold?” she asked, still patting my back, gently. “No ma'am! I am just overwhelmed by joy! Thank you so much ma'am!” I said, release her from the hug, cleaned my eyes, made a wish, and then blow off the candle lights. “Wow, that is my baby girl!” She said, and I smiled, while we started eating.

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    The Silent Hunt

    Chester’s mind raced as he and Liam sat at the front of the sleek black car, the streets of New York blurred outside the windows. The tension between them was palpable, the quiet hum of the engine barely cutting through the weight of the situation. "I can't afford to alert Madeline," Chester said quietly, his gaze focused on the road ahead. "She’s playing this game too well. We have to keep everything under the radar. If she suspects we’re on to her, she might move Alex again." Liam nodded, his expression grim. "Agreed. We’ll use private investigators. They can follow the trail without raising any suspicion. No need for police, now. We need this to be clean." Chester clenched his fists. His frustration was barely contained. He didn’t care about anything else anymore. His world had become a desperate chase to find Alex, to bring her back from the nightmare she was in. Every second that passed without her made the reality of losing her even more real. --- Meanwhile, in a dark and s

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A Race Against Time

    The streets of New York blurred as cheater's car sped down the road. His mind raced faster than the car’s engine, his heart pounding in his chest. He was so close. Just a few more miles, and he’d finally be able to see Alex, to explain himself, to tell her how much he regretted everything. But the closer he got to Alex’s house written address, the more his unease grew. His phone buzzed in his pocket, breaking the silence that had settled over him during the long drive. He pulled over, his hands trembling slightly as he grabbed it. It was a text from Daniel: "Call me. Something’s wrong." Chester's stomach twisted. Without hesitation, he dialed Daniel’s number, the anticipation gnawing at him. “Chester,” Daniel’s voice came through the phone, urgent and clipped. “It’s Alex. She’s gone.” Chester's pulse spiked. “What do you mean, gone? Where the hell is she?” “Someone took her. We don’t know who or why, but they grabbed her and her son. No sign of a struggle, just—gone.

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    Madeline's Vengeance

    As the evening wore on, the luxurious ballroom where Chester’s wedding was supposed to take place was now eerily quiet. The guests had scattered, and the only sound that remained was the faint rustling of fabric from Madeline’s mother and her family, who had tried to console the shattered woman in the wake of Chester's abrupt departure. Madeline, her face pale and tear-streaked, sat alone in a chair near the empty altar, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. The luxurious wedding gown that had once symbolized the beginning of a new life for her now felt like a suffocating shroud. Her mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and humiliation. She had spent so long trying to claw her way into Chester’s life, only for him to abandon her without a word. Her mother and the other family members kept trying to reach out to her, offering empty words of comfort. “He’ll come back around, darling,” her mother said gently, dabbing at Madeline’s tears with a lace handkerchief. “He has to. You’

    The opulent venue was buzzing with excitement as the guests gathered, their eager whispers filling the air. The grand chandeliers cast a golden glow over the extravagant ballroom, and outside, the elite guests sipped champagne in a garden adorned with roses, basking in the spectacle of Chester's and Madeline’s wedding. Chester stood at the altar, a mere puppet of his family’s design. His chest tightened with every passing second. The distant clink of glasses and the murmured chatter of the crowd did little to drown out the chaotic thoughts racing through his mind. He couldn’t do it. He couldn’t marry Madeline. As the officiant began the ceremony, Chester’s gaze flickered to Madeline, standing beside him with her flawless smile and eyes that glittered with triumph. But all he could think about was Alex—the woman he had loved, the woman he had lost. His heart slammed against his ribs, and his breath caught in his throat as a text message vibrated in his p

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A Future In The Making

    The weight of the news still hung heavily in the air as Alex watched the announcement unfold on the television screen. The buzz from the media, the socialites, and the world beyond seemed to intensify as the forced engagement between Chester and Madeline Brooks was broadcasted. The lavish wedding details began circulating—grand venues, designer dresses, and the promise of a high-profile ceremony to match the family's elite status. It felt surreal to Alex, who had once been that woman—caught in the whirlwind of Chester’s world, a world filled with promises and expectations. Yet, here she was, standing at the threshold of a new chapter, away from it all. Her son stirred in his crib, pulling her out of her thoughts. She smiled softly, walking over to him, watching as his tiny fingers reached up in his sleep. Despite everything—despite the confusion, the heartache, the betrayal—he was her miracle. And for him, she would build a future free from the past, free from the shadows of Leon a

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A New Beginning

    Alex sat quietly in the park, the soft hum of the city around her, but her mind was far away. She glanced down at her son, his bright eyes reflecting the sunlight as he played with a small toy in his hands. He was the center of her world, and every decision she made from here on out would be for him. But there was something else. Something growing inside her—an uncertainty, a curiosity, a question that she had tried to ignore for so long. Could she open her heart again?... Liam had been there for her in a way that no one else had. He had never asked for anything, never pushed her to be someone she wasn’t. The more time she spent with him, the more she realized how much she appreciated his quiet strength, his kindness, and the ease with which he made her laugh. It wasn’t love yet, not the passionate kind she had shared with Leon, but it was something. Something she hadn’t felt in a long time... Liam had made it clear that he wasn’t ru

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A New Path

    The weight of the announcement still hung heavily in Alex’s chest. She had tried to stay indifferent, but the image of Chester, standing next to Madeline, his expression distant yet resigned, kept haunting her. It wasn’t that she expected him to sit around pining for her, but seeing him so publicly move on, so easily, was more painful than she anticipated. As much as she told herself that it was for the best, that she was better off without him, there was always that nagging voice in the back of her mind. What if things could have been different? What if they hadn’t fallen apart the way they had? Could they have found a way back to each other? But that was in the past. And now, all that mattered was her son. He had her heart and soul, and Alex was determined to give him the best life possible. As she sat in the quiet of her apartment, holding her son close, she felt a stirring of something unexpected. It wasn’t just a feeling of longing for a man who no

    Chester could hardly believe the words Madeline had spoken to him three weeks later! I'm Pregnant? The thought made his stomach churn. He hadn’t been careful, but the idea of her carrying his child seemed far-fetched, especially given the haze of alcohol and the drug she’d so deftly slipped into his system. But the truth, as twisted as it was, couldn’t be denied. He had no choice but to go through with a test, something he dreaded more than anything. --- The Next Day... Chester sat in the sterile, cold hospital room, his hands tightly clenched around the armrest of the chair. The results from the test were about to be revealed, and with every passing second, the knot in his stomach tightened further. Madeline sat across from him, her face a mask of feigned concern. She had been playing the role of the victim perfectly, looking so innocent, but Chester could see through the charade. Still, despite everything, there was a part of him that feared what the test might confirm. A nurse

For the first time in months, i wasn’t drowning in whiskey or self-pity. i had focus now — and it all pointed to one city. New York.... My private investigator had finally unearthed a clue, subtle but undeniable: a hospital record flagged under a different surname, but the birthdate and the emergency contact screamed Alex. It was the only real lead he’d had since she disappeared. Daniel walked in unannounced, leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed. “You look like hell, but for once you look alive.” I smirked slightly, the first real smile in ages. “I’m going to find her.” Daniel stepped closer, glancing at the spread of documents. “And when you do?” “I’m not letting her go,” I said flatly. “Not again.” But deep down, anxiety twisted in my chest. If Alex had hidden herself this well, it meant she didn’t want to be found. --- Meanwhile, across in another city..
