Mom, dad. As soon as Anna saw them, she burst into tears. Sandra patted Anna's hand, trying to comfort her. What happened, my darling, who did this to you? Was it that no good husband of yours? Sandra glared at Alex, who was sitting in a chair next to Anna's bed. She had been at her side since they arrived at the hospital. Anna s

So what do you say? Are you coming over or not? Alex remained silent, gripping his phone tightly to his ear as Laura's sultry voice floated through the speaker. Laura's invitation is tempting, but I'm also worried about what it might lead to. I'm not ready to give up on my relationship with Anna. Just yet, there was something you should know. He finally replied. I'm married, and my wife just got out of the hospital. I don't think it's a good idea for me to come over tonight. Now it was Laura's turn to be silent. When she finally spoke again, the sultriness had disappeared from her voice, replaced with a bitter coldness. When did you get married? It's a long story. Why don't we talk about it some other time? Alex suggested. Another moment of silence passed. Then Laura spoke again firmly, this time. Fine, then you're coming to my house tomorrow. We have some important things to discuss, and this

Anna, are you okay? Sandra and Robert burst into Anna's hospital room and rushed over to her bedside. Mom, dad. As soon as Anna saw them, she burst into tears. Sandra patted Anna's hand, trying to comfort her. What happened, my darling, who did this to you? Was it that no good husband of yours? Sandra glared at Alex, who was sitting in a chair next to Anna's bed. She had been at her side since they arrived at the hospital. Anna shook her head, no, it wasn't Alex. These gangsters almost hit me with their car. And then they tried to kidnap me. So scared I fainted, I really thought I was going to die. Anna's terror was still clearly visible on her face. Sandra gasped and clutched at imaginary pearls. Sounds so frightening. How did you manage to escape? I can't remember, Anna said, rubbing her bandaged head, I passed out. And then when I woke up, I was here. Ch

If he's not your husband anymore, mind if I take him first. Then Charlotte tossed her hair flirtatiously. Alex was standing on the street with Anna and Charlotte. He had asked them if he could tag along for the afternoon, but Anna had turned him down. That is until Charlotte started flirting with him. Alex smiled at Charlotte. If you're busy, Anna, I can just go with Charlotte. Anna's face grew completely flushed. She blinked up at them and bit her lip, unsure of what to say. Finally, she sighed. Okay, fine, Alex, you can spend the afternoon with us. We're just going to head downtown for a bit and do some more shopping. Alex smirked, happy to see Anna jealous for a change. Sounds great to me. With that, the trio continued walking down the street, peering into various shop windows as they went. Charlotte ran her fingers across Alex's suit jacket. Alex, is this a Shaw Industries suit? It looks great on you. Anna gre

I shouldn't trust Laura. Why not? Alex asked Cyrus. Cyrus was pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back in an empty office on the top floor of the Safe Tech building. Just trust me on this. She's a wily one. Just when you think you've got her figured out, turns out she's actually two steps ahead of you. Alex folded his arms. So we've got Laura and possibly Dominic showing up at this auction later today, and I can't trust either of them. Should be interesting. To say the least, Cyrus nodded. Besides, you'll meet her soon enough, and you can learn for yourself. Now get your work done. You've got an auction to go to. After his conversation with Cyrus, the day went by in a blur. Alex could barely focus on his work. He was slowly getting up to speed on Safe Tech, but all he could think about was Anna. How am I ever going to make it up to her? He wondered. I k

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
