It was late at night, and Elena entered the room after putting her kids to sleep. She saw Alex sitting on the bed, his straight long legs crossed, his back resting against the headboard and busy with his laptop typing something, it was obviously business.She let out a brooding sigh and dragged her legs toward her side of the bed, looking like someone tasked with the greatest impossible thing. She entered the bed and sat beside Alex, dragging the covers to her leg, and placed her head on his shoulder, her eyes fixed on the screen as he typed.When it comes to working, he's more serious than ever. It's hard to get his attention off it."Tomorrow is Sunday.""I know." He replied, his voice coming out deep."Which means you can do this tomorrow." She stated.He paused, looked at her head on his shoulder, and looked back at his screen. "Is there something you want? Aren't you just going straight to bed?"She sighed, rose her head, and looked at him. "I want to talk to you."He looked at h
Elena turned and move her hand around the other side of the bed but it felt empty. She opened her eyes at the lazy sunshine streaming from out the window and slowly sat up. She felt a sour feeling between her thighs which completely reminded her of their deed last night.It brought a sigh out of her as she relaxed against the headboard. Every single day that passes, she was getting more closer and comfortable with Alex as she once was.It felt like she was forgetting they were no longer married and she didn't like it. She knew she had to let go of the past and the hurt she felt after being thrown out, although she wasn't feeling angry anymore, she could tell her anger somehow subsided.Now, she wants them back together. Officially. She wants to feel more comfortable than she already is. She wants to own him back.Though the fear in her wasn't helping since she know they have an unknown enemy lurking around. Whoever caused their separation was definitely still out there, unhappy about
Alex was completely ready for the day. He walked out of the board room after a long board meeting, heading to another one that will be taking place in a restaurant.He arrived at the last floor and walked toward his car in his parking lot. He halted in his track, his eyes glancing around before he kept walking, then the car drove off with another car behind it, then another one following it.Driving, Alex with a black face cap on smirked as he watched the car tailing him in front of him, going after his car he assigned someone to drive in other to confuse the guy.His phone began ringing and he sighed seeing it was work. His next meeting. He picked it up and continued driving steadily."Mr. Black, I've been waiting for thirty minutes."Alex chuckled throatily. "Thirty minutes? I thought you were gonna say one hour."He heard the man sigh. "How long am I waiting? We need this meeting done and over with.""Unfortunately, we are gonna have to reschedule, cause I'm busy right now," Alex u
Elena arrived at her children's school and met them waiting for her arrival. There was a frown on Xander's face, his face facing the floor, feeling sad and guilty.She sighed, her hand placed on her waist, knowing her son definitely did something to be looking like that. She looked at Amy. "What did your brother do?""Our principal said when you come, we should tell you to meet her." Amy conveyed.Elena furrowed her brows and looked at Xander. It was obvious he was already showing his logo in his new school.Although she knew Xander wouldn't look for any trouble, he just react to people's troubles with him. He's short-tempered, and metaphorically, the first thing he does when wrong is thrown his fist, or rather, literally, he pushes his fellow kid to the ground, and if he keeps being that way it could be his fist first."Okay. I'll go see your principal."Xander looked up at her. "Mommy, I didn't...really do anything wrong. I know she's going to complain to you...""Let me see what sh
It was another day and Alex was fully prepared for work. He looked at himself in the mirror, completely satisfied with how he was looking which is how he normally looks. He was putting on a black tuxedo, no tie though since he always felt disturbed by it.His phone ringing got his attention and he immediately went to pick it up and muted the tone so as not to wake Elena up. His eyes narrowed as he saw the caller ID.He frowned and answered it. "Why the hell are you calling me this early?" He whispered, turning away from the bed."Cause I'm desperate, Mr. Black. I texted you last night but I got no reply from you."Alex scoffed and looked away. "What do you want? Am I not giving you everything you want?""No. Not everything. There's one thing I desperately need and I want it.""And what the hell is that?" Alex questioned.He heard her sigh like she was finding the next words difficult to say. "I...I want to leave, Mr. Black. As much I like what I'm getting, I don't think I'll survive w
Evelyn's eyes were fixated on Elena as she walked closer. She haven't actually seen Elena physically and seeing her really made her wonder exactly who she was. What happened that separated two identical twins from their family?Evelyn never really saw herself as beautiful, in fact, she saw herself as a mess. A wayward person.But then, seeing her lookalike, she saw how pretty she really is and how elegant she could be."Who the hell are you?" Elena questioned with a frown on her face mixed with curiosity.Evelyn kept shut since all she could do was stare at Elena.Elena looked at Alex whose eyes were on her. "What's going on here, Alex? Answer me." She compelled.Alex looked at Evelyn before looking at her. "It's...she's your sister." He informed, going straight to the point.Elena's face contorted at the statement and she chuckled looking back at Evelyn. "My sister?" She gave Evelyn a once over, their resemblance was concise. "Sister." She mumbled reflectingly, no longer finding it s
Alex sighed with a moody expression, shaking the glass of beer in his hand, his elbow placed on the round table separating him and Liam.Elena hasn't really been on talking terms with him and he hated it, although he understood."Um, aren't you interested in what I called you here to say?" Liam questioned with a frown on his face.Alex looked at him and nodded. "Yeah. Just go ahead. I'm listening."Liam equally nodded. "So I did as you asked. I investigated Cora and the late Evan Miller.""Okay. What did you get?""I traced them to country D where they once resided. It turns out Cora was a barren woman. Evan Miller brought a baby home one day and in no time, that packed out." Liam informed.Alex nodded. "So, she was found by Evan Miller."Liam equally nodded. "Yeah, although..." He lowered his gaze. "According to some neighbors, someone else equally asked who they were."Alex furrowed his brows in confusion. "You mean there's someone out there investigating the Millers.""Not sure how
Xander and Amy weren't in the house and that's because Alex took them to his mother. He had a place to be with his wife as plus one and he felt happy about it.It's been so long, though he never had a need to celebrate since he lost her. All he did was out of self-pity. He was miserable.As he sat patiently for her to walk down the stairs with his sister being her fashionista, his phone began to ring in front of him. It was the guy. Sanchez.He answered the call and placed it on his ear. "Been expecting your call."Sanchez nodded, looking around in case anyone was coming toward his side. "I know but I had to be careful. I told my boss, Jaguar that you don't seem to be hiding anything." He said in a hushed tone.Alex nodded. "Good, so anything yet? Anything that could be of help?""Not yet..." He straightened up and smiled at his fellow guy. "So, when should we meet, my love..." He asked cockily.Alex frowned in disgust. "What?"The guy shook his head and walked past causing Sanchez to
