Chapter 25*Scarlett's POV*I tried, I seriously tried to concentrate, but it was nearly impossible. Alexander had finished his conversation with Katrina, and now he acted as if nothing had happened, calmly taking his seat. However, I couldn't stop the thoughts from swirling in my mind, replaying their conversation and the softness in his voice that I had never heard before, at least not when he spoke to me.Does he love her? I couldn't say for sure, as I couldn't seem to read him properly. But didn't he tell me that she was just a fling? I thought back to the words he had once spoken, the ones that had cut deep into my heart. "You were nothing more than a fling to me," he had said. And yet, here he was, speaking to her with a tenderness that I had never witnessed.Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I mustered up the courage to confront him. As I approached his desk, I could feel a mix of apprehension and determination welling up within me. He glanced up briefly, his icy gaze

Chapter 26*Scarlett's POV*The time had come to go home, and despite Alexander's text asking us to leave earlier, I didn't want to go home with him. So, I hailed a cab and headed straight home."Mom!" My children ran to me as soon as I stepped inside. Oh, how much I missed them.I kissed them on their cheeks, suddenly feeling like a bad mom as I realized how distant I had been. It wasn't just about my relationship with Alexander; it had been like this ever since I started my new job. I had been neglecting them.It had been a month since we moved into this new house, and I was glad to see how happy they were here. They were also enjoying their new school, which Tonia had enrolled them in since their previous school was far away."Mom, you've been working really late these days," Riley said, and I smiled sadly."Yes, I have, and I'm really sorry about that," I said, gently patting her hair. But instead of looking upset, she smiled widely."Of course not, Mom. We're just worried about y

The room was filled with a haze of desire and the scent of our passion. But as I looked at her, my heart clenched with a mixture of longing and frustration.We had just finished having another round of sex.I shouldn't be feeling this way. I shouldn't be losing myself to her, to the woman who was supposed to be my enemy. She was the one who had betrayed me, who had deceived me with her lies and manipulations. Yet, here I was, unable to resist her pull, drawn to her like a moth to a flame.I closed my eyes and tried to steady my racing heart. I needed to remind myself of the truth, of the reasons why I should hate her.

As my senses awakened, I reached out, expecting to feel Alexander's presence beside me.

I needed to find him, to understand what was happening. My mind raced with possibilities, my heart torn between hope and fear.As I made my way towards the door, the familiar creak of the floorboards seemed louder than usual.

I watched his expression, searching for any signs of jealousy or regret, but his face remained stoic, unreadable.Alexander released his grip on my arm, a flicker of emotion crossing his features. "I see," he muttered, his gaze dropping to the floor. There was a palpable tension between us, the weight of unspoken words hanging heavily in the air.Not wanting to prolong the interaction, I decided to take control of the situation.
