Masuk"Allow me to introduce my wife, Nicole Hales, mother of our twins. I have loved this amazing woman for years, starting from our college days." His voice dripped with adoration, each word a dagger to her heart. Tears streamed down her cheeks as the painful truth hit her, while she had devoted herself to making his dreams a reality, he had been building a life with someone else. Eight years, eight whole years and she ended up a mistress. Alexa had sacrificed her fully paid college scholarship to support Steven's dreams, she had even taken on the role of a mother to the twins he had claimed were adopted, And now, he was ready to discard her like trash.

"I am glad to see your body hasn't forgotten who it belongs to," he whispered. I grated my teeth in anger. He twirled me around, pulling me back into his chest suddenly, the closeness sending a shiver down my spine. I hated that my body still reacted to him this way, I needed to get away from this man before I lost my composure and destroyed everything. We didn't have the same idea, because at that moment, he leaned closer, his lips on my ear, he nipped the skin softly. "Have you slept with him yet, little Dove?" he hissed.I slammed my heel down onto his shoe in anger, like he had the right to ask. He let out a sharp hiss of pain but didn't let go, instead, he held me tighter. "Still defiant, I see," he murmured, his warm breath on my ear, making me weak. He spun me one last time, before ending the dance with a mockingly perfect bow.I turned to the now silent
(ALEXA'S POV)Ten days of playing the fool for Garary. I walked into the breakfast room, with a fake smile on my face, across the table, Garary watched me with those analyzing eyes as usual, I am sure he doubted I could buy his lies, but here we were. I turned my attention to little Klaus. He sat there fidgeting with a butter knife. I bent down and pressed a kiss against his warm cheek, he beamed, his face lighting up brightly.“Good morning, Mama,” he said happily in that sweet, high pitched baby voice.I smiled back, playing with his chubby checks. Looking into his gray eyes was like seeing a young Luke, he was a painful reminder of his father.“A package for you, Miss,” a butler suddenly announced.I took it, examining it suspiciously as I turned it over in my hands. Who could send me a package? Since moving in under Garary’s care, I have been isolated from the outside world. The only time I went out was when he took me to work and let the paparazzi capture our beautiful marriage,
(ALEXA'S POV)Luke stood next to his car, silently watching us. He dropped his cigarette, crashing it on the pavement with his heel. I almost went back to the car, I wasn't ready to face him yet. This felt like stepping onto a battlefield. With Luke I still wasn't sure where his loyalty lay.“Wow. I must say, I am impressed,” He laughed mockingly as he watched me in Garary’s arms. His gaze swept over us. “I didn’t believe it at first, but here we are, I still can't believe you two fooled me for that long.” He paused as if lost in thought. “But I am confused, what kind of game were you two playing when Alexa pretended to be Ryan?”So he believed I had been with Garary all along. What story did Garary fabricate during stay at the hospital? I wondered, forgetting my own game. Garary pulled me firmly behind him as his eyes searched mine for any recognition or sign of memory, I lowered my gaze slowly pretending to be lost and confused. Luke was supposed to be a total stranger to me now,
(ALEXA'S POV)I stood there alone, staring at the crumpled piece of paper in my hands. It was a simple command. "Forget him."I knew Linsley had slipped it in my hands before she disappeared, but why, who was I supposed to forget? And more importantly, why? Completely lost in thought, I wandered out of the building and stepped into the street. A car appeared out of nowhere and knocked me hard off the ground. Through the panic, I saw Luke running toward me, he stretched his hands trying to catch me, but he was too late. My head slammed against the cold pavement, and the world went black.When I finally gained back my consciousness, my eyes burned. I was in a really bright room, basing off the scent I was in a hospital. Everything was quiet except the voices whispering next to me. "Do you think she remembers?" a woman whispered.But her voice was familiar, it was Linsley. I fought hard to adjust to the light. I wanted a glass of water."I don't think so, Lin," a man replied with a hea

Rose and I stepped into the cramped apartment, the air in the room was heavy with take away, it smelled like an abandoned place. Did Linsley really live here? I walked in suspiciously but I had to speak to her, I needed anything to help me get rid of Anna.Anna has been one of the leaders of the H
