CHAPTER 7
The coffee shop was warm and calm, filled with soft music that drifted like a gentle breeze. People sat at small wooden tables, laughing quietly or speaking in low voices as the smell of fresh coffee floated through the room. The sunlight from the wide windows painted the floor in soft gold. Alexa sat across from Frederick near the window. A faint smile curved on her lips as she tapped her spoon lightly against her cup. For a moment she looked peaceful, as if nothing in the world could disturb her, but then her eyes drifted toward the entrance.The instant she saw who walked in, her smile froze, and her breath caught in her throat. It was Frank.He stepped inside with slow, steady steps. His shoulders were straight, his expression calm.But there was something different about him, something sharp and controlled, something she had not seen before.Alexa’s fingers tightened around her cup until her knuckles turned pale. She leaned forward and whispered sharply, “What is he doing her
CHAPTER 6
Frank sat at the counter, his elbows resting on the cold metal surface as the club’s music pounded through him. Every heavy beat thumped against his chest like a fist. Neon lights flashed over the crowd, turning faces red, blue, then red again. People laughed, shouted, and moved wildly, but none of it reached him. His mind drifted far away, until something pulled him back like a blade cutting through fog.His eyes froze. There, in the middle of the dance floor, were Frederick and Alexa.Frederick’s hand rested boldly on Alexa’s waist. Alexa leaned into him like she had always belonged in that position. Their bodies moved together, slow, close, too close. They moved like two people who had practiced this a hundred times in secret. Their steps matched. Their breathing synced. Their smiles mirrored each other.A cold weight settled inside Frank’s stomach. His fingers stiffened around his glass.He told himself to look away. He told himself it was none of his concern. She wasn’t his wi

Frederick opened his mouth to speak again, but Alexa tightened her grip on his arm. She leaned close to him and whispered something only he could hear. Her lips barely moved, yet the words seemed to hit him like a spark. His angry expression vanished, replaced by a slow, sly smile that curled at the corners of his mouth.He turned back to Leon and Frank with a cold, warning stare. “I’ll leave you for now,” Frederick said, his voice heavy and stretched with threat, “but remember this. I won’t let it go. I promise you that.”He tightened his hold on Alexa’s arm. Alexa lifted her chin proudly, almost as if she thought she had won something. Together, they walked away quickly. Their footsteps echoed loudly in the wide hall until the sound faded and the heavy doors slammed behind them.Frank leaned against the shopping cart filled with clothes and let out a small, surprised laugh. He did not laugh because he was happy. He laughed because the sight of Frederick retreating so easily was s
CHAPTER 4
The largest mall in the city was bright like daylight even though the sun outside had already begun to lower. Lights hung from every corner, glowing in warm gold. Soft music filled the air, joining the steady hum of people walking, talking, and laughing. The scent of new leather, new clothes, and new perfume floated around like a mix of gentle clouds.Luis walked beside Leon, his steps slow, his eyes wide. It felt like the whole mall was moving around him. Everything was big. Everything was expensive. Everything looked like it belonged to another world. Leon had brought him here to buy clothes, shoes, and anything he needed for his new life. The words “heir of Watford Incorporation” were still strange in Luis’s mind. He had not grown used to them yet. Each step he took made him feel a pressure he had never known. The glass doors, the polished floor, the shining escalators, everything told him that his life had changed.He kept replaying his old life in his head. Just a short tim
CHAPTER 3
Leon lifted his glass slowly, as if every second mattered. His fingers tapped lightly against the crystal, the soft sound echoing in the quiet backyard. The dim garden light above them cast a warm glow on his drink, making it shine like amber fire. When he took a sip, his eyes stayed fixed on Frank, sharp and unreadable.Frank felt uneasy under that stare. His palms were damp. His breath was tight in his chest. Something was coming, something heavy.“Before Mr. Watford died,” Leon began, his voice calm and steady, “he told me something important. Something he kept hidden for years.”Frank’s heart thumped hard. He leaned forward without thinking, as if the words were pulling him.Leon continued, “Your father… Mr. Watford… was not a man who cared much for marriage. But he did care for one woman. Only one. His mistress. She was the only person who touched his heart.” Leon’s fingers tightened around the glass. “When she gave birth, he gifted her a necklace. He said that one day, when th
CHAPTER 2
Frank stormed out of his office with fire burning in his chest. His footsteps hit the hallway floor in hard, angry beats. The entire building was quiet, but the echo of his rage seemed to follow him like a shadow he could not escape.He pushed through the doors and stepped outside, breathing fast, breathing sharp. The cool evening air touched his face, but it did nothing to calm him. His hands clenched at his sides as he walked. He felt like something inside him was breaking apart piece by piece.He had loved Alexa. There was no doubt about that. He had loved her with a love so deep that it almost hurt to think about. She had been the center of his life, the only person who made him feel seen. But love did not stop the pain. Love did not erase humiliation. She had crushed him. And worst of all, she had not even looked back.He reached into his pocket for his car keys, ready to go anywhere but here. Anywhere that would take him away from the memories still fresh in his mind, then h
