Chapter 160
Alexander sat sprawled on the leather couch, his shirt completely unbuttoned to show off the intricate tattoos covering his chest and arms. Dark ink snaked across his skin in patterns that made him look more like a gangster than a businessman. Two women flanked him on either side, their hands rubbing his chest while he held a cigarette between his fingers.The phone in his hand suddenly went flying across the room and shattered against the wall."Damnit! She's still not picking!" Alexander roared, his face twisted with rage.One of his men immediately stepped forward with another phone, the tenth one that day. Alexander snatched it from his hand and scrolled through his contacts until he found Marcus's number. He jabbed the call button so hard his finger turned white."Where is Vivienne right now?" Alexander demanded the second Marcus picked up."She's still inside her house, boss. She hasn't come out all day."Alexander's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Are you absolutely sure she's not
Chapter 159
Lucas was lying hurt on the hard, cold floor. His face was so puffy and bloody that no one would know who he was from across the room. His left eye was completely shut, looking very dark and bruised. Dried blood ran in crusty lines down his chin and neck. His ribs hurt terribly every time he tried to take a breath.The other inmates stepped over him like he was trash, some of them deliberately grinding their heels into his arms or legs as they passed. One of them spat on him and laughed."Rich boy doesn't look so rich anymore, does he?"Lucas couldn't even respond. His jaw hurt too much to open his mouth.A police officer walked by the cell, glanced in at Lucas lying there broken and bleeding, then kept walking without stopping. Lucas tried to lift his hand, tried to call out for help, but the officer had already disappeared down the corridor.They thought he was the problem. They thought he deserved this. Nobody was coming to save him.For the first time since he'd been thrown in th

Michael's hands clenched into fists at his sides as he stared at Serena's triumphant expression. "You're actually happy about this? Happy because you think you've trapped me?""Of course I'm happy," Serena shot back, propping herself up slightly on the hospital bed. "But don't twist it like I planned this whole thing. I had a feeling I might be pregnant before, and it turned out I was right. We both made this baby, Michael. It takes two people, remember? So stop acting like I went and got myself pregnant all by myself."Michael's jaw tightened but Serena kept going, her voice gaining strength."You need to forget about leaving me now. That ship has sailed. You're stuck with me whether you like it or not." She pointed at him, her eyes blazing. "You wouldn't want your child growing up without both parents, would you? So just stop fighting this and put a ring on my finger already. Let's get married and spend our lives together like we're supposed to. Even your parents can't stop me from
Chapter 157
Vivienne stepped out of the bathroom with water still dripping from her hair, wrapping the towel tighter around herself as her phone buzzed again on the nightstand. The screen lit up with another incoming call, the tenth one since morning. She didn't need to look to know who it was.Alexander.Her fiancé had been blowing up her phone all day, switching between calls and text messages that grew progressively more aggressive with each hour she ignored him. Vivienne grabbed her phone and scrolled through the messages, her stomach twisting as she read his latest threat."Pick up your damn phone, Vivienne. I know you're in Newcastle screwing around with some bastard. If you don't call me back in the next hour, I'm flying there myself to drag you back to Sydney. Don't test me."She tossed the phone back onto the bed and walked to her closet, pulling out a simple nightgown. Her hands trembled slightly as she changed, not from fear but from the exhaustion of constantly dealing with Alexander'
Chapter 156
Lucas sat on the cold concrete floor of the jail cell, his back pressed against the grimy wall as he tried to make himself as small as possible. There were four other men sharing the cramped space with him now, and each passing second made him feel more irritated and disgusted with his situation.He'd never imagined spending even a single day in a place like this. His entire life had been lived in luxury, treated like royalty by everyone around him because of his family's wealth and status. But here, none of that mattered.At first, Lucas had tried to pull rank on his cellmates. He'd announced who he was, bragged about his family's money, and acted like he was superior to these common criminals. That had been a mistake.The men had surrounded him within minutes and taught him a brutal lesson with their fists. They'd made it crystal clear that whatever power he had outside these bars meant absolutely nothing inside them."In your mansion and out on the streets, you might be a king," th
Chapter 155
Celia's frustration boiled over as she stared at Tessa and her husband standing on their doorstep. The audacity of these people coming to their house and demanding answers about Serena was beyond insulting."Why are you asking me about Serena?" Celia snapped, her voice sharp with anger. "I don't care where she is anymore. She tried everything possible to destroy my life and my reputation. I have no idea where your daughter is and honestly, I don't want to know."Tessa's face turned red with fury. Her hand flew up to slap Celia across the face, but before she could make contact, someone grabbed her wrist and stopped her mid-swing.Mrs. Greene had appeared behind Celia, her own face twisted with rage as she held Tessa's arm in a tight grip."Who gave you the right to try and slap my daughter in our own house?" Mrs. Greene demanded furiously. "This isn't that place you tricked Celia into coming to that day. This is our home and you have no authority here."Tessa yanked her hand away roug
