CHAPTER 29
District Attorney Morrison's face twisted with contempt as he glared at Alexander across the metal table. The interrogation room felt smaller and more oppressive with each passing moment, the fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows that made Morrison's expression even more sinister."You think you're clever, don't you?" Morrison sneered. "A worthless bum like you should be more worried about saving his own pathetic skin.""I told you, I didn't kill anyone," Alexander replied calmly."Did I ask you to speak?" Morrison's voice dripped with disdain. "People like you don't get to ask questions. You answer them, or you face the consequences.""What consequences?"Morrison leaned forward, his eyes cold and calculating. "How does the death penalty sound to you? Because that's exactly where this is heading if you keep playing games with me.""The death penalty for a crime I didn't commit?""The death penalty for being a stubborn fool who doesn't know when he's beaten," Morrison snarled. "You
CHAPTER 30
The police station lobby fell into stunned silence as Alexander firmly gripped Lila's arm and pulled her away from District Attorney Morrison. Vanessa and Sophia, who had been waiting patiently for Alexander's release, stared in shock at his sudden action."Alexander, what are you doing?" Vanessa called out, her voice filled with confusion and hurt.Sophia's expression was equally bewildered. "We've been waiting here for hours to celebrate your freedom, and you're ignoring us for her?"Alexander didn't even acknowledge their presence, his focus entirely on getting Lila away from Morrison. Every instinct he possessed was screaming that the District Attorney was dangerous, far more dangerous than anyone realized.He pulled Lila into a quiet corner of the lobby, his grip on her arm firm but not painful."Listen to me very carefully," Alexander said in a low, urgent voice. "No matter what that man asks you, no matter how innocent his questions seem, you cannot tell him that you ever had t
CHAPTER 31
Before Alexander could even process what was happening, both Vanessa and Sophia rushed forward like protective lionesses, positioning themselves between him and Victor."Don't you dare lay another hand on him!" Vanessa's voice cut through the lobby like a blade, her usually composed demeanor replaced by fierce protectiveness.Victor stepped back, startled by the sudden intervention. "What the hell—""If you touch Alexander again, I will sue you for assault and everything else you're worth," Vanessa continued, her eyes blazing with fury. "Try me. I dare you."Sophia moved to stand beside Vanessa, her own expression equally fierce. "And you can kiss any future business proposals goodbye. I'll make sure every company in this city knows exactly what kind of man you really are."The entire police station lobby had gone silent, everyone staring in shock at the scene unfolding before them. Officers, civilians, and even District Attorney Morrison watched with fascination as two of the most po
CHAPTER 32
Alexander leaned forward in his chair, studying Vanessa's face intently. The elegant woman sitting across from him bore no resemblance to the desperate orphan she claimed to have once been, but something in her eyes suggested she was telling the truth."I need you to tell me exactly how I saved your life," Alexander said earnestly. "Every detail you can remember. Maybe hearing about my past will trigger something, help me remember."Vanessa nodded slowly, understanding the logic behind his request. "If you think it might help, then I'll tell you everything I remember about that night.""Please."Vanessa took a deep breath, her usually composed expression becoming vulnerable as she prepared to revisit painful memories."Before I met you, I was nothing," she began quietly. "Just a shabby orphan living on the streets, surviving hand to mouth, day by day."Alexander watched her carefully, searching for any flicker of recognition in his own mind."I was starving," Vanessa continued. "I had
CHAPTER 33 PART 1
Lila stood frozen in the police station lobby, Alexander's chilling words echoing in her mind like a death sentence. The way he had spoken to her was unlike anything she had ever experienced from him before – commanding, assertive, almost threatening. This wasn't the meek, submissive man she had divorced."Don't worry about that psychopath," Victor said, placing a possessive hand on her shoulder. "I'm going to make sure he never comes near you again, let alone lays a hand on you.""Mmm-hmm," Lila nodded absently, her mind still processing Alexander's warning about the District Attorney.Victor's voice grew more agitated as he continued his rant. "The fact that they just let a criminal like him walk out of here is disgraceful. What kind of justice system do we have?"Lila barely heard him, too consumed by her own thoughts to pay attention to his complaints.Victor stormed over to the police captain's desk, his voice rising with indignation. "Captain Rodriguez, I demand to know why you
CHAPTER 33 PART 2
Morrison pulled out his business card and handed it to Lila. "Ms. Ross, if you remember anything at all about your friend's possessions or activities in the days before her death, please don't hesitate to call me."Lila took the card reluctantly, noting how Morrison's fingers lingered against hers for just a moment too long."Thank you, Mr. Morrison. I'll be sure to contact you if I think of anything."As Morrison walked away, Victor grabbed Lila's arm roughly. "What was that all about?""He's just investigating Anna's murder.""By asking you about some ring? What ring?""I don't know, Victor. I've never heard Anna mention any ring."Victor's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "You're lying to me.""I'm not lying!""Yes, you are. I can tell when you're hiding something, Lila. What aren't you telling me?"Meanwhile, across town, Victor's frustration with the day's events was reaching a boiling point. Alexander had humiliated him in front of powerful women, escaped justice for his crimes, and
CHAPTER 34 PART 1
The rough burlap sack was yanked from Alexander's head, and he blinked rapidly as his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of what appeared to be an upscale private club. Dark wood paneling lined the walls, expensive leather furniture was arranged in intimate seating areas, and the air was thick with cigar smoke and the scent of aged whiskey.Victor sat in the center of the room like a king holding court, surrounded by a dozen well-dressed men who were clearly his wealthy friends and associates. The eight thugs who had kidnapped Alexander stood at attention around the perimeter of the room, their hands clasped behind their backs in military fashion."Welcome to my club, Alexander," Victor said with a predatory smile. "I do hope the accommodations during your journey here were comfortable."Alexander tested the ropes binding his wrists behind the chair they had placed him in. "What the hell is the meaning of this, Victor? Why was I brought here?""Such hostility," Victor chuckled, turning
CHAPTER 34 PART 2
The eight thugs began moving toward Alexander's chair, their expressions grim and professional. Alexander struggled against the ropes binding him, but they were too tight to break."This is assault, Victor. You'll go to prison for this.""Will I? Because I think you'll find that everyone in this room will testify that you attacked us first. That we were simply defending ourselves against a dangerous criminal.""Nobody will believe that.""Won't they? A man recently accused of murder, with a history of violence and threats? I think our story will be quite believable."The first thug reached Alexander and began untying the ropes. "Make this easy on yourself," the man growled. "Just take your beating like a man."As soon as Alexander's hands were free, his body reacted on pure instinct. Before his conscious mind could even process what was happening, he had sprung from the chair and delivered a devastating punch to the first thug's solar plexus.The man doubled over, gasping for air, and
CHAPTER 35
Alexander continued staring at his hands in bewilderment, flexing his fingers as if they belonged to someone else. Vanessa's words echoed in his mind like a haunting melody: "You used to be the God of War." Could this be what she meant? This sudden, inexplicable ability to fight like a trained killer?Throughout his entire marriage to Lila, through all the years of working menial jobs and enduring constant humiliation, he had never once raised his hand in anger. He had taken every insult, every beating, every cruel word with the patience of a saint. He had minded his own business, kept his head down, and accepted his place at the bottom of society's ladder.But now, as he looked at the eight unconscious thugs scattered around him like broken dolls, he realized that maybe he had never been the weak, pathetic man everyone believed him to be.Victor stood pressed against the wall, his expensive suit wrinkled and his face pale with terror. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he watched A
CHAPTER 36
Marcus advanced toward Alexander like a predator stalking its prey, his massive frame casting a shadow that seemed to engulf half the room.His face was twisted with rage, and spittle flew from his mouth as he unleashed a torrent of violent threats."You worthless piece of shit!" Marcus bellowed, his voice echoing off the club's paneled walls. "I'm going to tear your arms off and beat you to death with them!"Victor and his friends watched with anticipation, convinced they were about to witness Alexander's complete destruction."Look at him," Victor said gleefully to his companions. "He's about to wet himself with fear.""Marcus is going to turn him into hamburger meat," Harold added with sadistic satisfaction."I'm going to break every finger on your hands one by one," Marcus continued his verbal assault, now only a few feet away from Alexander. "Then I'm going to snap your spine like a twig and watch you beg for death!"But something extraordinary happened as Marcus drew closer. Ale
