A Divorce He Regrets 95
ALEXANDER A groan echoed from my chest and shattered the dragging silence in the study. How had things piled up so much in such a short time?!The pain in my head blossomed, threatening to split my skull in half any second, but I couldn't push things off any longer and not working meant thinking about Raina and how much she grated on my nerves lately. Yeah, working was a better alternative.Being apart from her was torture, an ever present ache in my chest was the constant reminder that despite everything I still wanted to be with her, but hanging around and 'choking her' with attention seemed to do the exact opposite. I had to give her space, she needed it if she was ever to miss me, to realize she had feelings for me too, maybe not as much as she had in the past, but at least a little was better than nothing, I could work with a little, heck, I could work with anything she was willing to give.I sighed, the heavy weight on my chest never lifting as I added the folder I held to the

RAINAI knew he was angry with me—of that, I was certain—but I prayed in my heart that he would realize I had done what was needed to be done for Nathan to release Faith. I could still feel the icy chill that ran through my veins when Nathan had attempted to lay hands on me. His hurtful words echoed in my head; he had told me that he couldn't wait anymore. I struggled against him with all the strength that was within me, but I knew that if Alex hadn't interrupted him at exactly the right moment, Nathan would have won. Even then, somehow Nathan had managed to slip away before Alex could completely show himself, leaving me to ponder where in the darkness he had disappeared to.Later, desperate and trembling, I attempted to phone Alex, but the line was dead. Half of me was appallingly empty, half my soul ripped away. It wasn't the pain or the fear—it was the suffocating loneliness of being left behind when I most needed him. That was when Dom came around, his eyes weighed down with conce

ALEXANDERI faced the imposing building that held Raina, its glacial facade showing the harshness of our situation. My chest thumped and my heart roared at me to run inside at once and drag her out to safety, but my brain kept reminding me to be careful—one false step and Raina might get hurt. I motioned to my men waiting in the darkness, my tone low but firm, "Rig the house with bombs. When I extract Raina, I'm blowing this building to smithereens." My tone conveyed an urgency that didn't leave any room for discussion. They went about it silently and with speed, working like specters as they disabled the guards at the entrance without making any noise.As I was starting to edge into the building, my ears picked up on a voice—a chilly, sneering remark cutting through the quiet: "You're late, Alex." I braced as I spun around, my blood freezing. Behind a bound Raina stood Nathan with a gun to my head. I scanned her quickly—she looked surprisingly all right despite the bindings—and my pa

DOMINICI sat before the board of directors, their eyes boring into me with unyielding scrutiny. The room was thick with tension and the low murmur of anxious voices. One director leaned forward, his tone edged with impatience, and demanded, "Dominic, give us an answer—what’s really going on? Where is Raina, and why are our stocks falling like this?" His words echoed around the table, and I felt my heart sink. I knew I couldn’t tell them the truth—that Raina had been kidnapped. I forced myself to remain composed, even as my mind screamed in silent agony.Before I could formulate a lie, another board member, his voice bitter and condescending, interjected, "You know, giving a woman raised from poverty the responsibility to run a company like the Grahams—it's bound to fail." His words stung, and I glared at him, my anger rising with each syllable. Unable to contain my fury any longer, I rose abruptly from my seat and shot back, "Do you have any idea how this company was birthed? The ver

FAITHI couldn't hold it in anymore—not with Raina's life at stake. As we were leaving the house, the air was charged with tension, and without thinking, I grabbed Dominic's hand so tightly that he flinched in surprise. "Eliza was there, too!" I screamed out, my voice shaking with fear and desperation. At that time, both Dominic and Alex's eyes opened wide with shock as they both cried out, "What?!” My heart beat furiously against my chest as I went on, "All along, Eliza has been in it with Nathan." Dominic's reaction was instant and raw, his reply a low, furious growl: "No fucking wonder…" I could feel the myriad questions whirling through his mind—how had the hotel records somehow disappeared into nothingness, and why had nothing ever come of it?Alex, wanting to get our out-of-control situation back on track, interrupted with a combination of frustration and real concern, "Let's drive and talk. I'm going bonkers worrying about Raina." And instantly, a choking wave of remorse envel

DOMINICI still couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her—my wife, Faith—there, safe and home. For a stunned, long moment, I didn't stir, wondering if my mind was tricking me, but then she stepped forward, and without further hesitation, I folded her into my arms. There in that hug, I didn't mind whether it was real or crazed fantasy; she threw arms around me, the crying indistinct against my shoulder,and for one brief heartbeat, I let the warmth and relief wash over me. That comfort, however, was brutally short-lived. In an instant, Alex intervened, abruptly peeling her away with a rough grip that sent a shock of anger surging through me. “How are you here, and where’s Raina?” he snarled, his anger so intense it sent me almost boiling. I felt my anger flare at the way he grabbed her—as if my own wife were his possession—and I growled, "Back off, Alex. She's my wife, and I will not have you disrespecting her like some prize to possess." Through hiccups and tears, Faith asked, "Why do

ALEXANDERVanessa stood before me, guilt etched on her face, but I was not in the mood to care. My body hummed with fury, my fists bunched up so tightly my knuckles went white. My heart thundered like a war drum inside my chest, and my breathing was rough, rasping. Raina was not in her room.And the guilty, dumb expression on Vanessa's face told me she knew exactly why."Where is she?" I growled, my voice low, barely controlled.Vanessa stepped back but didn't reply immediately. Her eyes flashed to the ground, as a coward avoids the eye of a predator."I—I'm sorry," she mumbled, wringing her hands in front of her. "I should have known it was a stupid thing to do. I just—I thought I was helping."Helping?I let out a bitter, humorless laugh, my head shaking in disbelief. A flush of heat crawled up my back, my eyes growing red."Helping?" I growled, and stepped forward, my body casting a shadow over hers. "How in the hell is that ever going to make any sense? If you actually wanted to h

RAINAVanessa looked at me like I had lost my mind. Her eyes were wide, and disbelief written all over her face as she shook her head, pacing up and down the room like she was trying to process what I had just said. She flung her to her temples, the fingers digging into her skin as though physically keeping herself from screaming.Then she stopped and turned to me, and absolutely exploded."Are you insane?" she demanded, her voice sharp, raw with frustration.I clenched my jaw, already tired of hearing that question. Everyone kept treating me like I was reckless, like I wasn't thinking straight, but that wasn't true. I was the only one thinking clearly."Why does everyone keep asking me that?" I shot back, crossing my arms over my chest. "This is about Faith. She's out there, and from where I'm standing, I'm the only one actually doing something about it."Vanessa blew out an angry breath, her face a mask of anger and fear. "And if you get hurt?" she exclaimed. "What then? How the hel

FAITHA pain throbbed through my body, a deep, unrelenting ache that seemed to settle in my bones. My head pounded viciously, the worst of it concentrated where I'd been struck. I wanted to lift my hand, to press against the sore spot and try to ease the pain, but I couldn't. My wrists were bound.A sick feeling coiled in my stomach as I darted my eyes around, taking in my surroundings. This wasn't what I expected.I had braced myself for something grim: a cramped, windowless cell, dank air, the pungent smell of mildew. That was what kidnappings looked like in the movies. Instead, I lay on a bed. A real bed. The mattress was soft, the sheets smooth against my skin. The room itself was well-furnished, too neat, too comfortable. The contrast made my skin crawl.My breath caught, my chest heaving up and down too rapidly. Whatever this place was—deceptive and pleasant—it didn't change the fact that I'd been kidnapped. I was a prisoner.The question was—who did it?Eliza? Nathan?The very
