KATHERINE'S POVThe weight of the text sat heavy in my chest as I hurriedly got ready. My mind was a storm of thoughts, questions, and, worst of all—doubts. I had promised myself that I wouldn’t let fear dictate my life, but knowing that someone was watching me so closely, monitoring my every move, made it impossible to ignore the danger lurking around me.Franklin’s excited chatter filled the car as we drove toward the soccer field, yet I barely heard a word of it. My grip tightened on the steering wheel, eyes flicking to the rearview mirror every few minutes. Was someone following us? Was the blackmailer watching right now? The paranoia gnawed at me, but I refused to let it consume me. I had to be strong, for Franklin’s sake.As we pulled into the parking lot, I glanced around. The field was already filled with parents and children, coaches blowing their whistles as the kids ran around. It should have been a normal day, but my heart wouldn’t settle.“Alright, buddy, let’s go,” I sai
KATHERINE'S POVMy heart skipped as she said that sentence so calmly. What could it be this time?"What happened?"She stood up and paced around the room while my eyes followed her curiously, my heart beating at the same pace as her steps."Come on, Hazel, my eyes are about to pop out of my head. Tell me what's wrong.""No matter how much I dig into this, I just can't help but suspect that something is off. It's about your mother's company. I think Elizabeth is hiding something, but I just can't place my hands on what it is. And well, this Alexander's involvement, we still can't investigate it further."I frowned."What do you mean?""I mean either he's trying his very best to stop everything from being revealed, or he knows nothing about it and someone else is involved."The idea of Alexander being involved in the embezzlement of my mother's company's funds just doesn't sit well with me either.After the time we spent together, I still find it hard to believe that someone who was as
KATHERINE'S POVMy heart pounded heavily as Franklin stared at Alexander, and I could feel his head between my legs.What I was trying to avoid all along has finally happened.I didn't let Alex in earlier because Franklin was in the sitting room with me, and he just asked about the man he called Daddy.Only for the daddy to show up.My breath hitched, and I stared at Alexander, waiting for his reaction."Franklin," he called softly, and a part of me squeezed.Why did he have to sound so soft, so much like an actual father? Why?Franklin stood up and, without waiting for a word from me, gave Alex a hug.I watched as Alex crouched down to his level and smiled at him."How are you, Franklin?" he asked, beaming so proudly that I got a feeling of déjà vu.It was almost as if I'd been here before, my son with his father, smiling at each other."You know me?"Of course. Inquisitiveness has always been Franklin's strong suit."Yes, I do. I remember you."He smiled and hugged him again."Okay,
ALEXANDER'S POV The voice on the other end of the line sent a cold shiver down my spine. My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white. "Who is this?" I demanded, my voice low and controlled, though my pulse was anything but steady. Henry’s eyes widened, his body tensing beside me. He recognized the voice too. A dry chuckle crackled through the speaker. "You don’t recognize your own father’s voice? I’m hurt, Alex." My jaw clenched. After all these years, after everything he’d done, vanishing, leaving behind a trail of deceit and hurt, he had the audacity to call me like nothing had happened. "Father."Even as I tried to hide the emotions from taking over, it was still evident in my voice and in the way I spoke to him.But it was impossible to hide my emotions, I knew that also.Not after what happened between us in the past, not after he broke Mom's heart, not after he almost..."Alex. I know you're surprised to hear from me.""Surprised?? No, Dad," I bit my li
Hi, my dear readers. First of all, I want to say a sincere thank you for your patience and support during this long break.

Everything has calmed down now, and I’m back, fully ready and excited to continue this journey with you. Starting today, a massive upload is coming your way. Yes, you heard that right — chapters are dropping and the story is picking up again, full steam ahead. You’ll get to see what happens next with our favorite characters, and I promise, it will be worth the wait. Thank you for not giving up on me.
ALEXANDER'S POVI shouldn't be surprised. Why did I assume that something was going to change between us just because we slept together?She must have just been out of her senses, and well, I was also.But even as I tried so hard to pretend like I wasn't that affected by the reaction she gave me, I still couldn't. A part of me hurts, my heart especially."You called for me?" Henry's voice interrupted my thoughts, and I lifted my head up to stare at him.Right now, all I could think of was how to get Katherine, how to discuss with her one on one.Ever since Susan's wedding, she hasn't shown up at work and refused to pick up my calls.It was pretty obvious that something was going on, but she wouldn't tell me what it was; heck, she refused to spare me an audience."Yes, please."He eyed me, his brows raised and that familiar worried look in his eyes.If there was anyone who would understand what I was going through, it was definitely him."You met with her."It was a statement, not a qu
