Ron stared up at Alex. We have to tell you something, something important. Alex arched his brows. Tell me what. Ron and Randall had just chased Alex into a dead end street in downtown Chicago. Now they were kneeling in front of him with their heads hung in shame. We need to make up to you for our past behavior. Randall began. We have. Not been faithful servants of the tiger group. Ron nodded in agreement. He's right. We've made some big mistakes. We want to help you get the Tiger group back on track. Alex smiled slightly how? The pair looked at one another. Ron spoke up first. Well, we were thinking we could serve as your bodyguards. Randall nodded. It's too dangerous, boss. Too dangerous for you to be roaming around the streets of Chicago by yourself. Let us be your detail. We'll protect you. Alex chuckled to himself, trust me. I really don't need protecting. He waved his hand. Look, I appreciate the apology, but I think I'll be safer if we keep our distance. Ron. And Randa
Chapter 49
I saw you, you little insect. Sandra's eyes narrowed as she stared down at Alex across the dining room table. I saw you signaling Anna, you're trying to get her to say no. Alex shook his head. No, really. I didn't. Shane stood up as well. Yes, you did. I saw it too. Mom. He signaled to her, Sandra glared. What I want to know is. Why? Alex froze, unsure of what to say next. How am I going to get out of this? He wondered. Shane scoffed. What? You have nothing to say for yourself. You're just going to sit there. You just stay out of our family's affairs if you know what's good for you. Sandra hissed. Suddenly, Alex found himself leaping up from his chair. I am Anna's husband. I have every right to express my opinion in this house. He slammed his fist down on the table. Sandra flew into a rage. What, how dare you raise your voice at me? You will learn respect for this family, or I'll make sure you wish you were never
Chapter 48
It was the Tiger, grandfather. He cancelled our contract with Powerhouse PR. Shane sat cowering in his grandfather's office as Harvey loomed over him. Harvey slammed his fist down on his desk. The Tiger will rue the day he made a fool out of me. What should we do? Shane stammered. First, you have to tell me everything that was said. What reason did they give for canceling the contract? Shane's eyes lowered to the floor. They said they wouldn't do business with me. They said they would only work with Anna. At the Tiger's request. But what? Could they possibly see in Anna that they can't see in you? Harvey stared out the window, gazing at the Chicago skyline. Do you think, do you think somehow Anna convinced the Tiger to make this decision? Would she be in contact with him? Shane stood up, straightening his collar. You know how Anna is? She's cunning.
Chapter 47
I can't afford to buy back the shares for double, especially not in five days. Derek stammered. On the other end of the call, Alex chuckled to himself. And waited patiently. After what felt like a minute had passed, Derek continued, unable to disguise the anxiety in his voice. I barely managed to scrape together enough money to buy the shares back at the normal price. How can I possibly buy them at double the cost and in half the time? Alex chuckled. I'm sorry, Derek, but that's just not my problem. This is so messed up. It's. Cruel. That's what it is. Derek sounded as though he was about to burst into tears. Alex shook his head. Oh, Derek, this isn't cruelty at all. This is just how the game's played. If you want to play with the big boys, then you're going to have to start acting like one. There was silence on the other end of
Chapter 46
Hi, Camilla. It's so good to see you. When they arrived at the airport, Anna pulled the car up to the curb, jumping out to greet her friend Camilla. They wrapped each other in a big hug. It's fabulous to see you. Camilla replied, thank you so much for hosting me. Oh, I missed you so much. What's new? Last I heard you were engaged to a delivery boy. Anna gestured to Alex, who had just stepped out of the car. Well, we're married now. Sort of. Camilla, this is Alex. Alex, this is Camilla. Alex works as a manager at Safe Tech now. Alex extended his hand. Nice to meet you. Camilla lightly took his hand in hers, charmed. Then suddenly Camilla got distracted by the ring hanging from the chain around Anna's neck. Wait. Anna. Is that what I think it is? She picked up the ring, studying the large diamond set in the center. Is this Winnie's diamond? Yes. Anna smiled smugly, content. It's one of a kind, nothing else
Chapter 45
Your mother was killed by the mafia, but why? Alex's mind was reeling from Charlotte's confession as they sat together in the backseat of Charlotte's car. Charlotte was still groggy from the drugs Ron had given her. I don't know. She replied softly. It happened 18 years ago. I was too young to understand. Alex's eyebrows shot up in surprise. 18 years ago. That's exactly how long it's been since my father died. This can't be just a coincidence. He thought he wanted to ask Charlotte more questions, but when he noticed a sad look on her face. He decided it could wait. We don't have to talk about this if you don't want to. I know how hard it is to lose your parents. He told her. No, I'm glad I told you. Charlotte replied, staring into Alex's eyes. But maybe we can talk about it some other time. She covered her mouth and let out a big yawn. I'm still a bit sleepy. Alex smiled. Sure, that sounds goo
