#161 "I don't know about any collection."

Sophia's evening was filled with nervous anticipation as Sandro hadn't returned her call. Pacing around the dining room, she considered her options to help Evelyn, her mind racing with worry. As the night progressed, Sophia found it increasingly difficult to relax. Nervously checking her phone every few minutes, she fervently hoped for a resolution.

#162 "God, No..."

Alexander had been seated at the airport, eagerly anticipating Sophia's arrival. The prospect of a vacation away from the city had fueled his excitement, and he couldn't wait to spend quality time with her. They had agreed to meet at 10:00, but by 10:15, Sophia was nowhere in sight. Knowing Sophia's preference to go through her office in the morning before heading out, Alexander patiently waited for her.

Kyle's blood boiled, his jaw clenching with a lethal intensity. "Some woman, huh?" Kyle growled through gritted teeth, his voice carrying the dangerous edge of a predator. "This is my woman," he roared, a declaration laced with possessiveness that echoed through the air. "Yours?" "Yes, mine. If I find out that a hair has fallen from her head..." Kyle's threat hung in the air, a warning to anyone who dared harm what belonged to him. "Relax, she is fine. However, she will be interrogated soon, and as far as you know, they don't carry phones.

"I'll go to Evelyn first, and you contact Alberto. Tell him that if anything happens to Sophia by the time I get to him, we'll have a problem." "I was texting him as we speak," he replies. "He says he will refrain from violence but will not let Sophia go until you go in person." "T

#165 "Didn't He Tell You Something?"

As Kyle's unwavering gaze bore into Alberto, the room fell into a tense silence, broken only by the faint sounds of heavy. Alberto's confidence crumbled under the weight of Kyle's resolve. "Enough," Alberto spat, his voice strained with frustration as he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Fine, you win."

#167 "And You're Still A Thorn in My Ass."

Alexander took a few steps towards Sophia and shook his head in denial. "I'm not leaving until we get this straight," he stated. "I love you, Sophia, and I do not budge at the first difficulty." Sophia's jaw tightened as she met his gaze, her resolve unyielding. "You may not leave, but I refused to talk to you. I needed peace right then," she declared, her voice laced with frustration. With a heavy sigh, Sophia headed for the kitchen, putting some distance between them. She could feel Alexander's eyes on her, but she refused to look back.

Sophia's nerves were frayed all day, her mind consumed by thoughts of her tumultuous relationship with Alexander.

#169 "Jealous, Mr. Stone?"

In the morning, Sophia felt a strong reluctance to leave the comfort of their bed. She was nestled against Alexander, finding solace in his embrace, unwilling to part from him. As her phone emitted a new message notification, Sophia reached for it with a begrudging scowl, not wanting to disturb their moment of intimacy. "Stay here," Alexander murmured, pulling her back into his arms. "Whatever it is can wait." "What if they've kidnapped someone again?" Sophia joked, a playful smirk gracing her lips. "I don't like how this is becoming a routine for us," Alexander grumbled sleepily. Sophia chuckled as she extricated herself from his embrace and glanced at her phone.

But before she could proceed, Benjamin swiftly snatched the phone from her hand, eliciting a frown from Sophia. "You can write to him as soon as we enter. Come on, Sophia, you haven't been here for years, let's get settled in first," Benjamin suggested, his tone persuasive. Sophia chuckled at Benjamin's eagerness. "God, Benjamin, you've really missed this place," she remarked, a fond smile playing on her lips. "Of course, my best years were here," he replied nostalgically, his arm draped casually around her shoulders as they approached the entrance. As Benjamin
