Chapter 111

Vanessa hesitated, taking a deep breath as she walked toward Alex’s bed. The weight of the news she had to deliver hung heavily in the air. She could see the panic starting to settle in Alex’s eyes as he looked up at her, desperate for answers. “Mr Steele…” Vanessa began, her voice tight with emotion. “Your wife is missing.” “What do you mean my wife is missing? How can she be missing? What even happened?” Alex quickly replied, his voice rising with panic. Mrs. Smith could barely hold her balance at the news that her daughter was missing. “Was it when you called me to ask if I’d heard from Claire?” she managed to say, her voice trembling, the tears already threatening to spill. “Yes, ma’am,” Vanessa replied, dropping her head, unable to meet their eyes. “It’s been two days. You said she was fine. I asked you what happened, and you said everything was fine. Where is my daughter?” Mrs. Smith’s voice cracked, a mixture of confusion and despair seeping through. Alex was still

Chapter 112

Alex charged toward the scream as fast as he could. There was a small shelter they had overlooked down the hill, and Alex quickly charged at it, flinging the door open. He was met with the sight of Roy holding Claire down, his pants halfway off. Alex’s body was weak, his injuries still fresh, but the sight of Claire in danger ignited something within him. He forced himself to move, landing a punch on Roy, but it lacked the full force of his usual strength. Roy growled in anger, about to retaliate, but then he sensed the presence of others around him. Realizing he was no longer alone, he shoved Alex aside and made a break for the door. With all the strength he could muster, Alex rushed toward Claire, lifting her into his arms. He held her tightly, running his hands down her hair to calm her down. She clung to him, sobbing uncontrollably. “It’s okay, you’re safe now,” Alex whispered, his voice soothing but strained as he held her tighter. He didn’t know how much more of this he co

Chapter 113

Alex’s hear tangled in a web of emotions as he walked to Claire’s room. He didn’t know what to feel when he heard the news. He hesitated at the door, watching Claire through the glass standing by the window, her frame silhouetted against the fading light. She seemed calm, almost serene, and a part of him wondered if she knew about it yet or if the weight of it all hadn’t yet settled on her. He opened the door slowly and proceeded to enter the room. "Hey," Claire greeted him with a small smile as she moved to sit on the edge of the bed. Alex approached her cautiously, pulling up a chair to sit beside her. He studied her face, searching for any sign of the pain or fear she must have endured, but she didn’t meet his gaze. Instead, she stared ahead, her tone light, almost casual. "Why are you still walking around when you should be receiving treatment?" she asked softly, breaking the silence but still avoiding his eyes. “I feel better. I just wanted to see you,” Alex replied, his

Chapter 114

Charlotte dropped her phone with a sharp, frustrated exhale after hanging up with Roy. "How dare he call me after causing so much trouble," she muttered under her breath, pacing in the dimly lit kitchen. Her hands shook as she reached for the bottle of water in the fridge, trying to calm her nerves, but her mind was already spinning with the consequences of everything falling apart. As she returned to the living room, she switched on the TV, hoping to drown out the noise in her head, but what she saw instead brought her to a halt. The news anchor's voice was calm and detached, a stark contrast to the storm inside Charlotte. "Breaking news: A kidnapper on the run has been found dead after being struck by a vehicle," the newscaster said, as footage of the accident scene flashed on the screen. Charlotte froze, her heart pounding as the words sank in. She didn't even realize she was holding her breath. "The victim was identified as Roy Anderson, a recent kidnapper that was on the r

Chapter 115

Alex was cuddled up in bed with Claire when he got a call from his secretary about Charles meeting with the board members. He had to take off his bandage and rush home to get dressed, hoping to make it to the office in time before an official announcement was made and he did. Charles stood frozen, his face pale, as realization hit him. He had been so caught up in his own ambitions, so certain that Alex would never recover, that he hadn’t even considered the possibility of Alex waking up. He hadn’t expected this. Alex’s steady footsteps approached him, and before Charles could react, Alex pulled him into a hug, his smile wide and genuine. "Thank you for holding my place for me while I was gone," Alex said, his tone surprisingly warm, as if everything were fine. Charles remained still, his body stiff with shock, unable to muster a response. The words that he had carefully prepared, the plans he’d been devising to take control, now seemed useless. Alex turned his attention to th

Chapter 116

The investigation into who orchestrated Roy’s release from prison eventually hit a dead end. With Roy’s death, there was no concrete evidence or testimony to follow, forcing authorities to reluctantly close the case. For Alex and Claire, it was a relief, a loose thread that wouldn’t pull at the fragile peace they were rebuilding. The following weeks were nothing short of bliss for the couple. Returning home from the hospital felt like a fresh start, and they cherished every moment together. After everything they had endured, they were determined to make up for lost time and focus on the future, channeling their energy into creating a warm and loving home for the child they were eagerly anticipating. While Alex resumed work, Claire found her own ways to keep busy. She often spent time with Mrs. Hamptons, the two of them bonding over recipes and filling the house with the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. On other days, her mother would visit, and the three of them would dive

Chapter 117

A few weeks ago, Alex had received a notification from his secretary about an investor interested in putting a significant amount into one of the company’s ongoing projects. It was a promising opportunity, and Alex had been looking forward to the discussion. That evening, as he was preparing to leave the office, his phone buzzed. His secretary’s name flashed on the screen. “Sir,” she said, her tone slightly rushed, “the investor you were supposed to meet tomorrow has already arrived at a restaurant near the office. They’re waiting for you.” Alex frowned, glancing at the clock. “But we weren’t scheduled to meet until tomorrow. Why the sudden change?” “They mentioned something about needing to leave for another business engagement tomorrow and won’t be able to make the meeting,” she explained. Alex hesitated before agreeing to the impromptu meeting, weighing the importance of the project against his instinct to go home to Claire. Reluctantly, he decided to proceed. When h

Chapter 118

The situation only got worse the next day. Claire didn’t say a word to Alex, nor did she even show her face before he left for work. Her silence hurt him more than the thousands of malicious comments flooding his phone. On his way to the office, his secretary sent him a link to an article. He hesitated before clicking on it, but once he did, his heart sank. It was an interview with Charlotte, who was supposedly admitting to the “affair.” She claimed she never wanted to be part of it, that she only met Alex that night to get closure, but he kept pushing. She painted him as the one who wouldn’t let go, as if he were the one responsible for everything that happened. Alex’s hands clenched the steering wheel, a knot of anger and frustration forming in his chest. Charlotte had spun the story in her favor once again, and now it was all over the media. Claire didn’t believe him, the public didn’t believe him, and he was once again being painted as the villain. Alex couldn’t believe his

Chapter 119

Charles leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smirk on his face as the board members nodded one after the other, each voicing their agreement. The private meeting had gone exactly as he’d planned. The chaos surrounding Alex’s personal life had provided the perfect opportunity to strike, and now the board was on his side. “It’s settled then,” Charles said, his voice calm but laced with triumph. “We’ll convene tomorrow to finalize the motion. The longer we wait, the more damage this scandal will cause.” One of the senior board members cleared his throat. “We’re only doing this for the sake of the company. Alex has been a good CEO, but we can’t afford to let sentimentality ruin us.” “Exactly,” Charles replied smoothly. “This is about protecting the company and its future. Nothing personal.” After the meeting, Charles stepped out of the conference room, where Charlotte was waiting for him in the hallway. She was leaning casually against the wall, a satisfied gleam in her eyes.

Chapter 120

The next day, Claire woke up earlier than usual, determined to make breakfast for Alex. She served him a plate of eggs and toast, but he barely touched it, eating absently while his mind wandered to the impending board meeting. “I could come with you, you know,” Claire offered hesitantly, watching him down the last sip of his coffee. He gave her a soft smile and shook his head. “I appreciate it, but it’s better if you stay here. I’ll handle it.” Claire didn’t press further, though she hated the thought of him facing everything alone. At the office, Alex walked through the building, catching the curious glances of employees who were clearly aware of the ongoing scandal. He ignored them, his focus set on the day ahead. Once in his office, he placed his phone on the desk and called Claire, her voice the only thing that could steady his nerves. “I’m already in,” he told her. “I’ll update you after the meeting.” “Just breathe, Alex. You’ll get through this,” Claire sai
