431. The Lesser Evil
Alex’s words kept ringing in Dr. Lucy’s ears as her whole world came crumbling down around her.A life without the man she had always loved was hardly worth living.With tears streaming down her face, she slumped to the floor, her heart shattered into a million pieces."How…could you do this…to me, Alex?” she cried, gasping for air as her heart pounded like a caged bird. “A life without you…isn’t worth living.”She grabbed her phone with trembling fingers and typed one last message.Her screen blurred as the tears kept coming like a flood.I am sorry for all the trouble.I promise you will never see me again.Goodbye, Alex…***Meanwhile, Alex drove to Mayor Wilkins’ residence in Hannington.The old mayor was still getting dressed when Alex showed up at his door.No guests, no matter how important, were welcome at such an early hour, but seeing that it was Alex outside, the mayor made an exception.“Mr. Verlaine, what a pleasant surprise. Congratulations on your wedding. I am sorry, I
432. As Cold As Love
The following evening, as Alex returned to his hotel in Hannington, he received shocking news from Damon Winchester.“Lucy…she…”“What happened to her?” Alex furrowed his brow as the cold air turned sweltering hot. “Please tell me what’s wrong.”“Lucy…has been missing since last night. She left a note for you…and signed divorce papers,” Damon Winchester’s broken voice echoed from the other end. “What happened between you two? What is all this, Alex?”Alex heaved a defeated sigh and hung his head low.The phone shook in his grasp as he tried to gather the strength to reveal the truth.When he finally spoke, his voice was cold and tired.“We could never have been happy together. Lucy deserves someone better. Someone who’d be able to keep her safe,” he replied. “Send the papers over to me. I’ll finalize the divorce and set her free.”“What? How could you?” Damon thundered. “Have you completely lost your mind? My daughter loved you!”“I loved her too, but I was impulsive in marrying her.
433. The Dinner Date
Ellen accompanied Alex to the supper hall, where a table had already been prepared for the happy couple, and the waiters were standing in line, ready to serve.“I will leave you two lovebirds to it then. Enjoy your dinner date,” Santiago wished with good-natured humor.As he left, Alex and Ellen took their seats at the table.The butler shuffled across the room almost noiselessly and lit the candles adorning the ornate silver candle stands.“The dishes will be served when you are ready. Please enjoy.”Ellen didn’t care about the food.All she wanted was to spend time with Alex and get closer to him by any means possible.Even though Alex had promised to marry her, a part of her still felt insecure about the future.Alex loosened his tie and put his coat away before pulling the chair closer.“So, tell me more about yourself. I am dying to know more.”Ellen smiled at him and blushed ever so slightly.“I am just a simple girl who loves walking under the stars, going out on evening drives
434. Hit and Run
Santiago, being the gracious host, extended the courtesy of inviting Alex to stay the night. And Ellen was more than happy to latch on and add to the entreaties.“It’s already very late. You must stay!” she pleaded. “I can show you around the island the next morning. You’ll get to meet mom as well.”“I think you should listen to her,” Santiago chimed in. “After all, she is going to be your wife soon. It’s not nice to walk away from such a lovely lady in the middle of the night.”Alex had half a mind to stay over and learn more about Santini and how Santiago Hernandez came to acquire such wealth.But the buzz of his phone pulled him into a new problem.It was Raziya on the other end.He quickly pulled away from Ellen and excused himself.“Raziya? Is everything alright?”“Sven was just shot. He was parked at an EV charging station, on his way to Glenmonte, when two masked bikers rolled up on him and fired without warning. He’s at the G.M. Marsaw Hospital now. But his condition is quite
435. An Eye For An Eye
In just 2 hours, Godrick managed to pull off the impossible.Alex was discussing matters with Captain Williams when Godrick called him, furnishing crucial details about the assailants.“I have good news for you, Commander. Mr. Erickson’s attackers used a shimmer grid to hide their number plates from the traffic cams, but they forgot to avoid the geo-mapping drones around the blocks. It took some time to follow the trail, but I did manage to track them down eventually.”“I want them in my hands now!” Alex demanded.“I think you’re in luck, Commander. They are still in Glenmonte,” he informed.“Where?”“The bike’s last known location was the old basketball center in Bedford. But I don’t think they are alone.”The rapid tapping of keys echoed from the other end as Godrick’s fingers flew across the keyboard, accessing more details.“That basketball center has been turned into a hideout of sorts for all kinds of lowlifes. I am talking about junkies, pickpockets, burglars, and various stree
436. Operation Searchlight
Back in Valheim, Major Monroe received an unexpected call from Colonel Tyson, which made him lose his sleep in the late hours of the blind night.“Two of our sleepers were killed last night,” Colonel Tyson informed. “It…was probably the same guy who took down Lazarus. And now he’s onto us as well.”“A guy…you say.” Major Monroe’s voice fell as several new questions crowded his mind. “It can’t be anyone connected to the government or the military, or I would have known. This is someone else. But who?”“I think it’s someone we are familiar with. He knows our names.”Major Monroe’s dark eyes widened as he heard that.“How intriguing. It sounds like Alexandria isn’t ready to yield.”“Do you think…do you think…it could be someone close to Commander Payne?” Colonel Tyson uttered in a low voice as if afraid to say that name out loud.“Xander Payne! “Even in death, he can’t stop haunting us!” Major Monroe muttered back. “You could be right, you know. There have been far too many incidents to
437. Welcome to the Family
Alex’s bold move of eliminating Major Monroe’s informants across Valestra had stirred up the pot, causing widespread international fallout.The presence of Valheim’s spies within Alexandria’s borders led to a massive debacle, raising questions about the current government.At the same time, the Council of International Peace summoned Valheim’s diplomats to answer for this extreme breach of trust.Valheim’s Minister of External Affairs, Sergei Zharkov, found himself standing before the international peacekeeping committee with the pressure mounting on him from all sides.Faced with questions about Valheim’s intentions and their violation of the peace treaty, Sergei did the only thing that he could: categorically deny all the allegations, and frame this as a conspiracy by extremist units in Alexandria.But in front of all the evidence provided by Alexandria’s intelligence agencies, Sergei’s claims didn’t stand a chance.Threatened with sanctions and trade embargoes, Sergei resorted to h
438. The Waiting Game
The following morning, Jakob Rashford and Rachel Dawson arrived in Santini on a private jet straight from Glenmonte.Santiago Hernandez received them at his lakeside property, while the guards kept watch from a distance.Alex was quick with the introductions.“These two people are the closest thing I have to a family. I’d like you to meet Rachel Dawson, the CEO of Sierra Beauty, and Jakob Rashford, the acting CEO of Femme Fatale.”“Alex was very keen on having you here for his engagement. I am pleased to finally make your acquaintance.”A couple of handshakes later, Santiago called his butler and took his leave.“Morris will show you to your rooms and help you with anything you need. I have some urgent matters to attend to at the moment, but I’ll meet you again shortly.”As Santiago drove off, Morris picked up what little luggage Jakob and Rachel had brought and offered to take them to their rooms.But they both declined, intending to spend some more time in the open.Once the butler
439. The Engagement
The upcoming engagement hung over Alex’s head like the sword of Damocles.His heart still yearned for the woman he truly loved, Lucy Winchester. But he had already come too far to turn back now.Ellen and her mother were busy making arrangements for the event, and Santiago was eagerly waiting for Alex to fulfil his promise.As Jakob and Rachel left, Alex looked over the parapet and frowned.If he wanted, he could obliterate Santiago’s whole private island in under an hour. And all it would take him was a couple of phone calls.But one wrong move could endanger the lives of all those closest to him.The Children of Eve were blindly loyal to their All Father, and even if Alex managed to kill Santiago, his crazed cult would be sure to retaliate.And that was a risk Alex wasn’t willing to take, even if the alternative was playing into Ellen’s hands.“You’re a cunning old man, Santiago. I’ll give you that. But time changes fast.”Alex backed away from the parapet and pulled out his phone.
440. The Wedding Noose
The terrified guests were herded into the poolside villa and forcibly taken to the banquet room.They had already witnessed Santiago murdering a man in cold blood and were eager to get away from this island as soon as possible.But the instructions were crystal clear: no one was allowed to leave until the engagement was over.Under the light of the grand chandeliers, Alex walked in with Ellen by his side.Santiago Hernandez ordered the doors to be closed and instructed his men not to let anyone in or out without his permission.The freak accident had turned him paranoid, and now all he wanted was to complete this engagement without any other mishaps.“Right, everyone is already here. Now, we can proceed with the ceremony.”Santiago was waiting for Alex to propose to Ellen again, but instead, he walked off.“What the hell are you doing?” Santiago muttered, glaring at Alex. “Don’t even think about changing your mind, or I’ll destroy everyone you care about! And I’ll start with your gues
