LOGINI woke up before my alarm.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, my eyes heavy but my mind already awake. It felt like I didn’t sleep at all. Every time I closed my eyes, I couldn’t stop overthinking.I turned my head slowly and reached for my phone on the bedside table.Still no missed calls from Drew.I stared at the screen for a second longer before dropping it back. So he still didn’t call.I let out a small breath and sat up, rubbing my face lightly. Today wasn’t the day to start thinking too much. I had a flight to catch.I got out of bed and started getting ready.An hour later, I was ready to leave. I caught my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing an oversized cream blazer with a white basic top and brown chic tailored shorts. The white sneakers perfected the whole look. I had wanted something casual, classy, and chic, and I did just that.I adjusted the silver bangle on my wrist alongside the diamond wristwatch Harry had gotten me as a gift. . Now I
Chapter 87 Walking into the company felt strange. Even though everything looked the same, people were moving around, greeting each other, work going on as if nothing had happened, but for me… it didn’t feel normal at all.As I walked in, my eyes lifted almost immediately to Drew’s office and I slowed down a little when I noticed the shutters were still down.He wasn’t in.Was he okay? What if he didn’t come to work because he was seriously affected by his injuries? My hands tightened around my bag.Maybe I was overthinking… he might just be running late.I looked away and entered my office.Everything was just as I had left it. I sat down and let out a small breath, trying to gather myself.“Okay… what are we doing today,” I muttered under my breath as I picked up a file and opened it.I tried reading through it, but my mind wasn’t there. My eyes moved across the words, but nothing was entering, everything just felt blank.I stopped without even realizing it, my fingers resting on th
Chapter 86I walked out of the company after saying my goodbyes to the lawyer, Kyle must be mad as hell right now, I smiled, but I didn’t care. The only person I felt sorry for was his secretary, who will unfortunately be the one he will pour his anger on. I shook my head, poor girl.Next stop was the private detective's office. I couldn’t afford to waste any more time.I brought out my phone and dialed Priscy’s number, my fingers moving fast.The call was connecting when a car suddenly parked right in front of me.I stopped, wondering who that was.The window rolled down.“Alia!” It was Priscy, a big smile on her face as she waved her phone at me, showing my call on her screen.“You’re here already?” I said, laughing as I walked over and got into the passenger seat.“Hi babe,” I greeted, fastening my seatbelt. “When did you get here?”“Have you forgotten you told me you were coming to Kyle’s company?” she said, giving me a look as she started the car. “I was in the area, so I decided
Chapter 85 “Why are you here, Alia… or do you miss me?” Kyle said, leaning back slightly, a smug smile playing on his lips.“Please don’t flatter yourself,” I replied dryly. “I’m here with Alice’s lawyer.”“Why didn’t that idiot of a secretary tell me you had company?” he muttered under his breath, clearly annoyed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.“Mr. Kyle,” the lawyer began, placing the documents neatly on the table, his voice calm but firm, “my client has been trying to reach you for a formal meeting, but you’ve refused to respond.”He pushed the papers slightly forward.“These are the divorce papers. My client believes you are already in possession of the first copy sent to you.”Kyle didn’t even glance at the documents. His eyes stayed on me, steady and unreadable.The lawyer adjusted his glasses, his tone turning more official.“Mr. Kyle, I strongly advise that you take this matter seriously. Avoiding communication will not stop the legal process. If anything, it only
Chapter 84My hands flew to my mouth in shock as I stared at the phone on the floor.What did I just read?For a moment, I couldn’t even move. My chest tightened, my heartbeat loud in my ears.I got out of bed and picked the phone up slowly, my fingers trembling as I stared at the screen again.The words were still there.Next time he will not be here to save you.So there was going to be a next time…The person was referring to Drew. My grip on the phone tightened.I needed to take this seriously. This wasn’t a joke anymore. First, it was the package, then I was followed and almost got hit, and now I’m getting threatening messages.This person wanted me to be afraid…And it was working.I felt cold suddenly. I quickly turned my head toward the door, then the window, like someone might be watching me.This was getting out of hand, and I, Alia, would not crawl under the bed shaking in fear.I needed to act now.I dialed the number that had just sent the text, my fingers moving fast.“T
Chapter 83Alia’s POVWho was behind that wheel… that’s all I have been thinking about. I couldn’t get myself to forget all that happened today.Whoever drove that car had just left a message by their actions, letting me know I wasn’t safe.I remember how paranoid I was as I drove back home.I kept looking at the rearview mirror, my fingers tightening around the steering wheel, my eyes moving every few seconds.Each time I saw headlights behind me, my heart skipped.Were they following me?Were they coming to finish what they started?But what scared me the most was my kids. I didn’t want them to be in any danger.I heard a knock on my door.My heart jumped immediately. Shit… even in the comfort of my room, I was still paranoid.“Come in,” I said, adjusting myself quickly.The door opened and Alice walked in. She was holding two cups and a glass of wine.“Hope I’m not interrupting anything,” she said, taking a chair and sitting down.“No, you’re not,” I replied with a small smile.“Ok
My eyes opened slowly. For a moment my vision was blurry.“Where am I?” I whispered.As my sight slowly cleared, I quickly realized I was in my room.My body felt heavy. I tried lifting my hand and noticed a drip attached to it.What happened?The sharp, raw pain in my throat suddenly brought the m
Chapter 48 I was packing Mum's breakfast to give her at the hospital, then take turns looking after Alice, when I heard a loud bang on the door. The person kept hitting it repeatedly, each knock harder than the last, echoing through the quiet house. Who would be making such noise in the morning?
Chapter 63“Alia,” my mum tapped my shoulder gently. “Did you hear what I said?”“Ummm… sorry, what?” I turned to her, blinking in confusion.“You seem to have zoned out. What were you thinking about?” my mum asked“Nothing,” I lied, forcing a small smile.There was no way I was going to tell her I
Chapter 52Alia's pov “I’m so glad I’m finally back to doing business deals,” I said to Harry on the phone as I drove to my appointment, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel.“I can hear the excitement in your voice, sunshine.”“I bet you can” I giggled softly “ But I don’t know
