Sandra cut Alex off before he could finish his sentence. “What is there to explain? It’s obvious. Clearly, you couldn’t afford to pay for your lunch, so you beat up an innocent man. I will not allow you to be a part of this family if you continue to embarrass us.” Robert added, “Why are you eating at such an expensive place anyway?” Anna asked, “You don’t even ha

Chapter 14
Craig will be Anna's husband, not you. From this day forward. You will leave Anna alone. Sandra triumphantly pointed at the door. Get out of this house. Alex stood aghast in the den of the Stone family mansion. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. After his fight to ward off the thugs that were harassing Anna, he was surprised to hear that Sandra and Robert felt like he had abandoned their daughter. Anna looked completely distraught. She burst into tears and ran upstairs to her room. Anna. Wait. Alex started to follow her, but Robert stood in his path. You abandoned her in that bar, and now you think you can go after her in my house. Do you expect everything to go back to the way it was? Alex groaned. Robert. I stood up for Anna in the bar. I fought off all those guys in the alley outside. What will it take for you both to believe me? Sandra frowned. Sorry, but we heard a differe

“Look, who wants to be a hero?” The three thugs stood up from their table and surrounded Alex, glaring at him as they tossed insults his way. “Dipshit probably won’t even be able to take one punch. I’m going to enjoy this.” They punched their fists into their palms, preparing to strike. The beefy man stepped forward, giving Anna a chance to slip away. “Why don’t you three take this guy outside and show him a good time? I’ve got some business to finish here.” He snapped his fingers, and the three thugs suddenly grabbed Alex by the shoulders, dragging him out into the alleyway. At least this way, the fight won’t get caught on camera like the one at the Sapphire Club, Alex thought to himself. When they reached the alleyway, the thugs tossed Alex to the ground. One of the men snickered. “So… any last words?” Alex pulled himself up from the ground, wiping dirt from his chin. “You

“Do you really think Rachel could be the spy? Does she know about the Tiger Group?” Alex whispered. Cyrus steepled his fingers and leaned back in his chair. “Not to my knowledge. But she’s been spotted at Club Cane—Dominic Grayson’s club.” Alex exclaimed, “Could be a coincidence… or it might not be.” “So the Tiger Group has spies too,” Alex said, finishing his thought. Cyrus chuckled. “Of course. While Dominic spies on us, we spy on Dominic. In this deadly game of chess we’re playing, information is priceless.” After his meeting with Cyrus, Alex returned home to meet Anna. They had an appointment at the courthouse to get married later that afternoon. When he walked in the door, the house was completely silent. At first, he thought no one was there, but then he caught the scent of Anna’s perfume and followed it to the living room. She had

“Wait, I can explain everything that happened.” Sandra cut Alex off before he could finish his sentence. “What is there to explain? It’s obvious. Clearly, you couldn’t afford to pay for your lunch, so you beat up an innocent man. I will not allow you to be a part of this family if you continue to embarrass us.” Robert added, “Why are you eating at such an expensive place anyway?” Anna asked, “You don’t even have a job.” The moment Alex walked through the door of the Stone mansion, the three of them started berating him. The videos of him beating up a drunk man at the Sapphire Club had gone viral. Alex took the tablet from Sandra’s hands and watched it while he thought about what to say. Oh, good. At least Charlotte isn’t in this video. If they knew I was having lunch with another woman—one of Anna’s friends, no less—t
Chapter 10
Alex and Charlotte sat in his new car outside of Club Cane, a club owned by Dominic Grayson, the second most powerful mob boss in Chicago. Having lunch there with Charlotte would be the perfect way to take a look around without being noticed. It's dangerous, but it might be worth the risk to learn more about Dominic and his gang. “Let’s have lunch there. I think that’s a great idea,” he told Charlotte. She smiled back at him. As Alex and Charlotte entered Club Cane, Alex looked around. The scale of the space was impressive and nearly just as opulent as the Sapphire Club. Only with a darker, seedier vibe. As they walked through the club to find a table, Alex noticed that a lot of the clientele were carrying weapons in their suit pockets or tucked away in the back of their pants. I’ve got to watch my step around here. Everybody in here is armed. After Charlotte and Alex finished lunch, they sipped on some cocktails, soaking in the atmosphere. “Well, that was delicious.” Charlotte

“What should we do, sir? Should we go after him?” The henchman anxiously awaited Dominic Grayson’s command. Dominic calmly ashed his cigar and took a sip of whiskey. “That depends. Do we know where he is?” “Not yet. All we know is that the Tiger is back. What should we do?” The kingpin puffed his cigar thoughtfully. “Let him jump around for a bit. He’ll come out of hiding eventually. And when he does, we’ll strike—and this time, we won’t make the mistake of putting him in a cage.” “I’ve never seen this many luxury cars like this before in my life,” Alex thought when he arrived at World Motors. The dealership was a sight to behold. There were so many exotic makes and models. Alex realized that Ben never mentioned which one was his. “Excuse me.” A receptionist stood up from behind her desk. “Are you Alex Callahan?” “That’s me.” Alex noticed the receptionist eyeing him up and down, snickering at his drab clothes. “Well, you’re certainly not dressed the way I thought
