CHAPTER 61

Xander’s povSitting at the dining table, I kept my gaze on Audrey as she paced around the room in her pajamas, visibly frustrated. She was wound up tight, too tense to sit down, her thoughts tangling in a visible storm. I could tell by the set of her jaw and the way her shoulders hunched forward that she was thinking about her father and his situation. This wasn’t the first day she’d been restless over it, but today felt especially intense.“Hey,” I said, keeping my tone light, trying to break through the tension in the room. “How about we talk this over?”She stopped pacing for a moment and looked at me, the furrow between her brows softening slightly. Taking a seat across from me, she started venting about everything she was feeling—her frustration with the way her father was being treated, the family’s lack of respect, and her growing worry over his health. I listened, nodding along, but I knew words weren’t enough. Audrey needed a real break from all of this, a chance to get

CHAPTER 62

Audrey’s povI felt a knot tighten in my stomach as I read through the documents. Each page revealed a disturbing pattern, and disbelief washed over me. “What kind of prank is this?” I asked Crawford, my voice barely concealing my anger.He chuckled lightly, but there was an edge to his demeanor that told me he was taking this seriously. “It’s not a prank, Audrey. These documents are fake, but they’ve been expertly crafted. The concerning part is that Stephanie has somehow merged these fake documents with legitimate ones in a way that would convince your father to sign over everything to her.”My heart raced as the implications sunk in. “You’re telling me she’s been planning this all along? She’s trying to take over my father’s estate?”“Exactly. But confronting her directly could escalate things, and you don’t want to tip her off. It’s a bad idea,” Crawford warned, his brow furrowing with concern.I shook my head, frustration boiling inside me. “I can’t just sit back and let her mani

CHAPTER 63

Stephanie’s pov“Do it,” I said to my maid. ”I have a party tonight and it will be a surprise party. I have a plan and I’m going to need it to be perfect.”The woman agreed and I cut the call as I walked to the table.“You all are invited to my party tonight,” I smiled at the ladies before joining them.They all cheered as we started talking about what we would wear.After sitting for a while with my friends, I excused myself to get into the car and call Eric to notify him of the party.I sighed in frustration as I ended the call. Eric wasn’t answering, and that was the last thing I needed right now. I could already feel Audrey’s intrusion casting shadows over my day, making everything feel out of balance. I needed to restore control, to reestablish my position in his life. This celebration idea—it would be a small step, but it was just the beginning of my plan to show Audrey and everyone else that I was here to stay.Pulling into the driveway, I took a deep breath to steady myself b

CHAPTER 64

Xander’s povAudrey sat hunched over at the bar, her fingers wrapped tightly around her drink. Her eyes were distant, glazed with frustration and anger. I had never seen her look so defeated, yet at the same time, there was this intensity about her, like a storm ready to break. I made my way over, tapping her shoulder gently.“Hey,” I said softly, “come on, talk to me.”“I want to be alone Xander,” she growled. “This is not the time to talk to me.”“You want to cause a scene here with your husband?” I threw at her as she knew she was already in soup if she rejected me in front of everyone.We were newly weds and everyone expected us to at least act like it.If we didn’t do that then it would be awkward for her and for me, but mostly for her seeing as most people here didn’t know me but her and they would wonder if this was how she acted with her sister.She looked up, her expression softening just a bit, and gave a short nod. Without another word, we left the noise of the party behin

CHAPTER 65

Xander’s povI took a deep breath, trying to keep calm. “You’re blinded by your own ambition, Stephanie. You’re so wrapped up in your schemes that you’ve lost any real connection to the people around you. Even Eric from what I can tell is going away from you.”“You take that back,” she gritted her teeth as I kept my face bland.“Audrey might have her flaws, but she’s real. She doesn’t hide behind manipulation or deceit. People respect that.”Stephanie tilted her head, smirking. “Respect is a fragile thing, Xander. And once it’s gone, it’s gone. What Audrey has is temporary. People like Amelia and I? We endure. We don’t let foolish emotions dictate our actions.”I looked her in the eyes, not backing down. “And that’s why you’ll never understand what real strength is. It’s not about control or power—it’s about resilience, the ability to face challenges without losing yourself. Audrey is everything you’re not, and that’s why she’s a threat to you.”Stephanie’s lips thinned, her patience

CHAPTER 66

Stephanie’s pov“What about Xander?” he finally asked, turning back to face me.“Xander,” I sneered, my voice laced with disdain. “Xander thinks he’s untouchable. I’ve already arranged for him to be…taken down a peg or two. By the time I’m done, he won’t be able to meddle in our affairs again.”Zachary studied me, his expression unreadable. “You think beating him up is going to change anything?”I shrugged, feeling a surge of satisfaction at the thought. “Sometimes a little reminder of vulnerability is all it takes. Besides, he needs to understand that he can’t just walk all over us.”“You’re playing a dangerous game, Stephanie,” Zachary warned, his tone serious.“Don’t lecture me, Zachary. I’ve come too far to be cautious now.”He let out a low, bitter laugh. “Well, good luck with that. Just remember—people like Xander don’t forget things like this.”I smirked, a cold, calculating edge to my gaze. “Good. Let him remember. It’ll serve as a constant reminder of who really holds the pow

CHAPTER 67

Xander’s povAs I stood within the dim, dusty warehouse, the anxiety in the air was thick enough to cut. I eyed each man around me, sizing them up, tracking the twitch in their muscular tissues, the passion in their eyes. They outnumbered me, sure, however I had been in enough scrapes to know that amount rarely equated to skills.“We don’t need to do that.” I sighed, seeking to make them understand this wouldn’t end well for anyone.One of them, a man with a jagged scar throughout his cheek, sneered at me and cracked his knuckles like he thought he was in a gangster film. He was the first one to lunge, swinging his bat wide, aiming for my ribs. I twisted sideways, feeling the frenzy of air as his bat missed me by inches.Before he could recover, I grabbed his wrist and yanked him forward, twisting his arm behind him until he let out a yelp of pain. The bat dropped from his hand, and I shoved him back into the others.The scuffle had barely started, but the others took it as their cu

CHAPTER 68

Stephanie’s pov“Stephanie, listen—” the doctor started, stepping closer, concern thick in his voice.“No, you listen!” I interrupted, pacing the room, my frustration bubbling over. “I’m not going to sit back and let him undermine everything I’ve worked for. This is personal now.”He looked at me, his eyes narrowing as he tried to gauge my mindset. “You’re not thinking clearly. Acting out of anger will only make things worse. You’re smart; you can find a better way.”I stopped pacing and turned to face him, my expression hardening. “You don’t understand what he’s done. He’s made a fool of me in front of everyone. I can’t let that slide.”“Then prove you’re better than him,” he replied, his tone firm but calm. “Don’t stoop to his level. If you want to eliminate him, you have to outsmart him, not just overpower him. Think of something more discreet.”“Discreet?” I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “You think this is a game? I’m done with subtlety. If I wanted to play nice, I woul

CHAPTER 69

Xander’s povAs we sat, my mind couldn’t help but wander back to the scene at the warehouse, replaying every punch, every dodge, every close call. I could still feel the tension in my muscles, the soreness from a few hits I hadn’t managed to avoid. My mind circled around the question that had been nagging at me ever since I’d walked out of that building: What if things had gone wrong? What if they’d gotten the upper hand? What if one of them had managed to take me down? I’d been in fights before, but this… it was something else. Stephanie’s reach was deeper than I’d wanted to believe, and the fact that she’d gone this far to have me hurt—or worse—was unsettling, to say the least.Audrey must have sensed the change in my mood because she broke the silence, glancing over at me with a furrowed brow. “What’s on your mind?”I hesitated, not sure how much to say. “I had a bit of a… situation with Stephanie’s men,” I said carefully, watching her reaction. “After I left the party, one of

CHAPTER 70

Xander’s pov“That would be my wife’s stepmother,” I said with a laugh as he nodded.“I’m sure you handled it like a champ if you’re before me without a scratch.”“Yeah, handled it,” I said, my voice steady. “But it’s been like that since the wedding. Every time I think things are calming down, she pulls something else. And it’s not just affecting me—it’s Audrey, too. She’s stuck in the middle of all this, and that’s what bothers me the most.”Jake shook his head, looking genuinely worried. “Man, that’s heavy. Didn’t realize it was that serious. But hey, you’re strong. And you’ve got Audrey by your side, right?”I nodded, a small smile finding its way onto my face. “Yeah, she’s been amazing through all of this. Stronger than I ever expected, actually. And I’m doing everything I can to protect her, but Stephanie doesn’t exactly back down.”Jake raised his glass, giving me a small toast. “Here’s to you and Audrey, then. Sounds like you two are a solid team. And hey, if you need a second
