Chapter 1 Alice's POV Airports. They’re chaotic, noisy, brimming with people who’d likely rather be anywhere else. Today, though, I found myself seated in one of the plush, quiet lounges of an international airport in London, nursing a bitter black coffee and trying hard not to think about the mess that awaited me back home. I took another sip, letting the bitterness settle, bracing myself for Caroline’s latest updates. My assistant had an uncanny knack for breaking news—especially the kind I dreaded. Right on cue, she looked up from her tablet, wearing that careful expression she reserved for bad news. “Alice,” she began, her voice soft but cautious. “It seems your brother's made headlines again. He’s been accused of... assault, and the company shares have already taken a hit.” I froze mid-sip. “What?” She nodded, glancing back at her screen. “It’s everywhere. The story just broke about an hour ago. The scandal… it’s already intense.” I steadied myself, forcing my pulse to cal
clutches of fate A new morning
Chapter 16Alice's POVI woke up slowly, feeling unusually comfortable and warm. Blinking, I realized I was back in my room, tucked under the covers. But... how did I get here? Last night, I was watching TV with Alex, and I was sure I'd dozed off on the couch. There were only two possibilities: either I'd somehow sleep-walked back here, or… Alex had carried me.The thought made my face flush with warmth. He must have brought me up here himself, carefully laying me down without waking me. Just imagining him carrying me, his arms wrapped around me while I slept, made my heart race. I was beginning to fall for him—hard. I'd started noticing all these little things about him: his teasing smiles, the way he looked at me, how he managed to be playful and charming yet protective. It was impossible not to.After taking a few moments to collect myself, I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. I wanted to look and feel my best, so I chose my favorite scent, letting its subt

Chapter 17Alice's POVThe day at work had started like any other, and I was focused, determined to get through my workload before lunch. But as the morning wore on, I began to notice a shift outside. The sky was darkening, the once-bright light filtering through the windows now muted and gray. I brushed it off, thinking it was just a passing cloud—until I saw Carol rushing toward me, her eyes wide with urgency."Alice, it's about to rain," she said, her voice low, as if she knew what that meant for me.My heart instantly picked up its pace, and I forced a calm smile, hoping she wouldn't see the faint tremble in my hands. "Thanks for letting me know. I'll just… wrap this up quickly."But as I attempted to finish typing, the first low rumble of thunder shook the building. My fingers froze over the keyboard. This wasn't just any rain; it was that heavy August rain, the kind I'd always hoped wouldn't come this early in the season. I hadn't been prepared. And now, the memories I'd pushed
clutches of fate His confession
Chapter 18Alex's POVWhen I heard the tremble in Alice's voice over the phone, panic gripped me. Her words were shaky, her breaths coming unevenly, and the storm outside roared even louder. I barely took a second to excuse myself, rushing out of the meeting room without a backward glance at the puzzled executives. Questions murmured behind me, but I ignored them, only one thought pulsing through my mind: I had to get to her.I raced down the hallway, not caring about the concerned stares as I reached my car. The rain had turned into a full-blown storm, sheets of water pouring down as I sped through the streets, my heart racing almost as wildly as the windshield wipers. I hardly noticed the honks and headlights flashing at me as I wove through traffic, urgency pushing me to get there faster.Minutes later, I arrived at the LN Group building, barely bothering to check my speed as I parked and bolted inside, rain soaking through my jacket. I took the elevator up to the 24th floor, not e

Chapter 19Alice's POVI waited in the car, my heart hammering as I watched Alex walk toward the vehicle that had been following us. Everything was still, yet my pulse raced with a tension I couldn't ignore. I tried to tell myself it was nothing—that it was probably a misunderstanding. But something deep down told me this was no coincidence.Just then, the car door swung open, and out stepped a tall, slender blonde dressed in a fitted shirt, sleek trousers, and combat boots. She was striking, her movements filled with an easy confidence that unsettled me. I watched in disbelief as her eyes lit up at the sight of Alex, and before I knew it, she was rushing toward him with a delighted squeal, her arms wrapping around his neck as she pulled him into an embrace.A sharp pang of jealousy hit me so hard it was almost dizzying. Who the hell was she? And why was she hugging him like they were something more than friends? My stomach twisted as I watched them, her laughter mingling with his, to

Chapter 21Alice's POVAfter taking a shower in his bathroom, I slipped into his bathrobe, letting the warmth linger on my skin as I inhaled his scent, It felt like i was still in his arm, I then hurried out of his room back to my room. I didn't say a word to him. I knew my earlier words must have upset him, and honestly, they felt out of line. Why couldn't I just admit I liked him? Was it because I still had doubts about Greta, or was it because the sex we just had was so mind blowing that I suddenly thought of all the women he had slept with and how he made them scream his name in bed Sophia's words kept playing in my head, yeah I admit, I am a jealous freak...I can't stand the thoughts of other women laying their filthy hands on my man or having his dick stuck in their filthy pussies.I was also mad at myself for being an overthinker and I was sure I would have to eventually give him a clear explanation...my words earlier made me sound like a whore, but I don't mind becoming a who

Chapter 22Alex's POV"Alice, we need to talk," I said, keeping my voice steady, though inside, my heart was pounding hard. Nerves tightened every muscle, every thought in my head felt scrambled. I didn't understand why I felt this way, why she alone had the power to unravel me so completely. Me, Alex, who had lived through fire and blood, felt stripped bare in front of this one woman.Since the moment I met her, she had a hold on me, one I wasn't sure I even wanted to break free from."Alex, let me… I… I want to say something to you too," she replied, her voice soft, almost hesitant."Okay, you go first," I said, my heart thundering in my chest as a thousand scenarios flooded my mind. Was she about to end this, draw a line between us? Had she already begun to regret this tangled, uncertain path we'd chosen?"I'm sorry for what I said earlier," she began, her voice barely a whisper. I froze, the words hanging heavy between us. She was apologizing, but why? My heart pounded so loudly I
