Chapter 81

Exhausted and spent, they both fell asleep in each other's arms. Claire woke up at a point to use the bathroom, walking gently across the floor to avoid waking him. She felt a little sore from the intensity of their night together, and the discomfort restricted her movement as she made her way to the bathroom. Grabbing his shirt he had thrown aside, she slipped it on for comfort. As she was about to settle back into the bed, Claire noticed Alex was still asleep but his face was contorted in distress. He wore a deep frown, and his body was sweating profusely, gripping the bedsheet tightly. “Is he having a nightmare?” she thought to herself. She moved closer, intending to cover him up, but as she adjusted the blankets around him, he suddenly grabbed her hand. “Mum,” he muttered, his voice filled with a pain she had never heard from him before. Claire froze, unsure what to do. She watched him, noticing how his face seemed locked in a deep struggle with whatever dream haunted

Chapter 82

Alex’s secretary swiftly arranged an emergency flight to get them back home. The flight was silent, with Alex sitting still, his jaw clenched and countless thoughts racing through his mind. Frustration and exhaustion warred within him, and for the first time in years, the idea of walking away from it all tempted him. Maybe he should let them win, he thought bitterly. But that would mean conceding to the very people who had turned his life into a nightmare since his mother’s death. No. He couldn’t give them that satisfaction. Not now. Not ever. When the plane landed, Alex didn’t waste a moment. He went straight from the airport to the office, leaving Claire to return home on her own. The tension between them wasn’t personal; it was the weight of everything pressing down on Alex, threatening to break him. Claire understood that, but it didn’t make her heart ache any less. At the house, Mrs. Hampton was already waiting for Claire. She greeted her with a warm smile and immediately be

Chapter 83

The meeting concluded with a compromise that felt more like a loaded gun pointed at Alex’s head. The board decided to judge his leadership based on a comprehensive mental and physical assessment. It was their way of giving him a chance, but Alex knew it was a façade. Deep down, he was panicking because the outcome might not be what he hopes for. He wasn’t ready. He hadn’t improved. Therapy had been a frustrating cycle of unmet expectations, and he’d walked away from it, hoping his problems would fade on their own. As the last of the board members filed out, the air in the room thickened. Only Alex and Charles remained, the tension between them noticeable to anyone at all. Alex leaned casually against the edge of the table, with a smirk on his face trying to mask his fear. “I must admit, Charles ,” he began, his voice dripping with condescension, “you did really well this time. But let’s be honest this wasn’t all you, was it? I doubt you’re smart enough to come up with somethi

Chapter 84

Claire tossed and turned all night, unable to find peace. It wasn’t until early morning that she finally drifted into a light sleep. However, it didn’t last long. The shrill ringing of her phone jolted her awake. Groaning, she reached for it, still groggy as she answered. “Hey, Claire,” a familiar voice greeted. She frowned, her mind sluggish. “Who is this?” she asked, her voice tinged with irritation. “I’m hurt you don’t recognize my voice,” the caller teased, a mocking edge in his tone. Her eyes snapped open as realization hit her like a bolt of lightning. She sat up abruptly, her heart pounding. “Roy?” she said, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Ah, there it is,” he chuckled smugly. “Seems you’ve finally got a hang of my voice. I’ve missed you so much, Claire.” Her anger flared instantly, burning away any remnants of sleep. “Get the fuck off my phone and never, ever think about calling me again!” she spat, her voice cold with fury. Without waiting for a response, sh

Chapter 85

Claire had no choice but to quickly get ready and head over to the location Roy had given her. Her mind raced with fear and anger as she drove there. When she arrived, she immediately sat by the window seat, the exact seat they had shared on their first date. The memories of that night felt like a lifetime ago, and yet, the discomfort of this moment seemed to overshadow it all. She sat there for what felt like an age, the silence of the café only adding to her anxiety. Ten minutes passed before he finally walked in. Roy looked disheveled, tattered even, his clothes wrinkled and his face unshaven. His eyes, though, held that same unsettling gleam of someone who thought they still had power over her. He made his way over to the table, and when he sat down across from her, his lips curled into a grin that made Claire's stomach churn. "You look exceptionally beautiful, sweetheart," Roy said with that same creepy smoothness in his voice. He reached his hand toward her face, but Clair

Chapter 86

Claire couldn’t believe her ears as Roy casually demanded such an absurd amount of money. She scoffed, incredulous at his audacity, but Roy didn’t seem to care in the slightest. He took a slow sip of his coffee, completely unfazed by her reaction. “You must be out of your fucking mind to even ask me for such a ridiculous amount of money,” Claire snapped, her patience wearing thin. Roy smirked, unfazed. “Ridiculous amount of money? You’re married to Alexander Steele for crying out loud. That’s more like shopping money for you.” Claire’s eyes narrowed in disgust. “Now I see exactly why you’re here. You want to milk me dry because you believe I now have all the money in the world. But sorry to disappoint you, rich people are even more stingy than poor ones. That’s how they keep their wealth.” “I’m not interested in any argument you have to make,” Roy said, standing up and taking one last sip of his coffee. “You have two weeks to get the money ready, or those pictures will be flyi

Chapter 897

Alex trudged home after a grueling day at work. The pressure from the board weighed heavily on him, as he had to submit both a physical and mental assessment to prove he was still fit to lead the company. The stress was overwhelming, and his mind was exhausted from thinking about what the future holds. As he entered the house, he noticed that Claire wasn’t home. Normally, he would have been concerned, but tonight, he was extremely tired. He simply shrugged it off and made his way to their bedroom, his body yearning for rest. He lay down, but sleep didn’t come easily. His mind raced with thoughts of the board’s demands and his past troubles. Before long, he found himself slipping into another nightmare, one that jolted him awake, gasping for breath. His heart was pounding as he sat up in bed, disoriented by the vivid images in his dream. Sighing in frustration, he decided to get a glass of water to clear his head. As he walked downstairs, he tried to shake off the unease creeping

Chapter 88

Claire arrived at the location with her heart racing, already furious before she even saw him. When she spotted Roy standing in front of a hotel, her temper flared. She stormed up to him, fists clenched, her voice low but intense. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Roy gave her a crooked grin, his tone casual as though he hadn’t just dragged her into this mess. “I was hoping we could spend some time together, like the good old days, you know?” Claire’s eyes narrowed, disbelief flashing across her face. “You must be out of your fucking mind to think I’ll follow you into a hotel.” Roy’s smirk didn’t fade. “Then you leave me no choice but to post the pictures.” Claire’s face hardened. “Go ahead. You can forget your fucking money then.” She said coldly making Roy turn around to face her sharply. “What?” “Yes post it you good for nothing bastard” Roy scoffed stepping closer he then leaned in a little, his grin widening. “You’re still as sharp as ever. That turns me th

Chapter 89

Alex arrived home with a bereaved heart, still hoping whatever he heard wasn’t true. Coupled with the challenges he was facing at work about his ability to be the CEO of the company and Charles not backing down it was almost too much to bear. Claire was waiting for him when he arrived. She quickly ran up to him and asked about his day at work, to which he responded with a simple, “Fine.” Claire didn’t know how to proceed and just stood there looking around until Alex broke the silence again. “Do you have something to say?” he asked, his tone even but weary. “Actually, yes, but the timing might be bad,” Claire said, fidgeting with her hands. “It’s fine. You can tell me,” Alex said, though the tension in his voice betrayed his words. Claire hesitated, then blurted out, “So I was thinking if I can get the money I’m going to get bad when our contract ends since I’m going to get it anyway, because I really need it now.” Alex froze, his hand gripping his phone as he stu

Chapter 90

Claire woke up the next morning to find Alex already gone for work. The house was quiet, and she decided to take the day to relax, hoping to ease the tension that had been building up inside her. She had barely settled on the couch with a cup of tea when her phone buzzed. Seeing Roy’s name on the screen made her stomach churn. Reluctantly, she picked up, bracing herself for another round of his demands. “Meet me at the park near 8th Street,” he barked, his tone as condescending as ever. Claire clenched her jaw, her patience wearing thin. “Listen, Roy,” she snapped, her voice cold and steady. “If you want your money, you’d better reconsider how you talk to me.” There was silence on the line for a moment before Roy chuckled darkly. “It seems you’ve forgotten, Claire,” he said, his voice dripping with malice. “I could destroy your life in a heartbeat.” Claire’s grip on the phone tightened. Her fear simmered beneath the surface, but she refused to let it show. “And maybe yo
