About Time!
Chapter 19“So if it wasn’t about the money, what was it about?” Alex asked, his brow arched, his voice tight with restrained impatience.Freya drew in a shaky breath, lifting her tear-filled eyes to meet his. Her voice cracked beneath the weight of the fear clawing at her chest.“Boss… you have to stop him, before it’s too late,” she whispered, her voice shaking with terror. “He threatened to kill my entire family if I refused. I… I was terrified. I had no choice but to obey.”Alex’s expression hardened as the realization sank in. Her confession had just confirmed his worst suspicion… Victor wasn’t just bribing his staff to do what he wanted, he was threatening their lives… and those of their families.It all made sense now. Freya wouldn’t have sold him out for a few dollars. Not unless her life, or someone else’s, was on the line.Harlan stood beside him, equally stunned.“What do we do with her?” he asked quietly.Alex didn’t respond at once. A flicker of determination crossed hi
The Catch
Chapter 18James stiffened, the weight of Alex’s words hitting him like a brutal blow. It was a deal he couldn’t afford to refuse… but how was he supposed to convince Victor so easily?Alex caught the trace of doubt in his eyes and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.“You don’t have to decide now,” he said quietly, rising to his feet. “Take all the time you need. But remember… your daughter’s life is hanging in the balance.”With that, he turned and left the room, the door clicking softly behind him, leaving James alone with the storm in his head.The offer echoed in his mind like a haunting whisper.The thought of finally seeing his daughter again… after twenty long years… made his heart race. He would give anything to make it happen.But fear held him back… fear of getting in Victor's bad record. Even the mention of his name made James’s chest tighten. Victor was dangerous, smart and ruthless. And if he discovered any form of betrayal, James knew he wouldn’t survive it… even his
The Devil's Trap
Chapter 17“Marcus,” Alex breathed, frozen in place, his voice almost betraying him. “What the hell are you doing here?”Marcus's lips curled into a smug smile as his eyes slowly scanned the place. “Hmm… quite the luxury you've got here,” he murmured before locking eyes with Alex again.Alex’s fists clenched at his sides, his jaw stiff with growing impatience. His eyes darkened with rage.“That’s not what I asked.” His voice was sharp and cold. “What do you want? And how the hell did you even get in here?”Marcus let out a dry, raspy laugh, which sent a chill running down Alex’s spine.“Oh, come on, Alex,” he drawled, folding his arms like they were discussing the weather. “You really want to pretend like you don’t know why I’m here?”Alex narrowed his eyes in confusion, his mind racing… until Marcus’s next words struck him like a slap.“I came for my woman… and my child,” he hissed, his voice dropping to a deadly whisper. “And trust me, I’m not leaving without them.”A stunned smile
Unexpected Foe
Chapter 16He headed straight to James’s wing… and there he was, fast asleep.“Let me know the moment he wakes,” he instructed the guard at the door, then turned and made his way back to his suite.But what he didn’t expect was to find another guard already waiting outside his door, hands clasped behind his back.“Boss,” the guard said, his voice firm but tense, “I have a confession to make.”Alex studied him for a second, then gave a slow nod. “Go on. I’m listening.”“It’s about Miss Thompson…”Alex’s eyes darkened the instant her name was mentioned. He stepped forward in a flash, grabbing the guard by the collar, his grip tight and unforgiving.“What about her?” he growled, his voice laced with fury. “Is she in danger?”The guard gasped for breath, struggling in his hold. He shook his head frantically, unable to speak until Alex finally released him.“Now talk,” Alex snapped, crossing his arms as he began to circle him. “What exactly do you have to say about her?”The guard clutched
Cold Warning
Chapter 15They both nodded and straightened in their seats, sensing the weight in his tone as they braced themselves for what he was about to say.“I'm sure you both are aware of the secret spy who has been siphoning funds from the Wellington Estate into an unknown account.” Alex said, his tone cool but dangerously low as he rested his chin on his clasped hands, his eyes locked on them.They both nodded without hesitation.“Good,” he murmured with quiet satisfaction, placing his hands firmly on the armrests. “Now I need just one thing from you… find out who’s behind it, and bring that person to me before dusk tomorrow.”Harlan and Sophia exchanged quick, uneasy glances, their brows tightening in disbelief, as though Alex had made an impossible demand.But they didn't protest. Instead, they bowed their heads respectfully. “We’ll do as you’ve said, Mr. Wellington.”Without another word, Alex stood and walked towards the window, his hands buried in his pockets. “That’ll be all for now.
A Spy
Chapter 14“It's a good thing you called me when you did.” The doctor said quietly, his voice laced with severity as he finished examining Elena. His gaze remained on her fragile frame resting on the bed, his expression darkening. “She could have lost the baby if you hadn’t intervened in time.”A cold chill ran through Alex… and his eyes shifted quickly between Elena and the doctor. “But… she's stable now, right?”“Yes, she is.” The doctor replied, his tone softening into a calm, solemn whisper. “She just needs to rest properly. With proper care, both she and the baby will be fine.”“Thank you, doctor.” Alex exhaled, his voice laced with a mix of panic and relief as his gaze returned to Elena. Then turning his full attention to the doctor, his expression sharpened. “I'd like to have a word with you. Outside.”The doctor gave a quick nod. “Of course, Mr Wellington. After you.”Alex stepped into the hallway, holding the door open until the doctor followed. As soon as they were both outs
