At Nathan’s house, Claire paced restlessly around the bedroom with her phone tightly clutched in her hand as she checked the screen for what felt like the hundredth time. The room was quiet as Nathan had gone to work, but there was nothing peaceful about the silence surrounding her because her mind was filled with questions she desperately needed answers to. She had been waiting for a message or a call from Derek since last night, yet there had been absolutely nothing from him.

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Surprise.

    Meanwhile, with Alexa gone, Xander gently knocked on Viola’s office door and waited patiently for someone to respond. Inside her office, Viola, who was busy reviewing some documents on her computer, frowned slightly when she heard the knock because, as far as she could remember, she hadn’t asked anyone to come to her office, and if it were Alexa, she would have simply entered since she already knew the door’s passcode.She paused her work for a moment, wondering if she had perhaps imagined the sound, and was just about to return her attention to the document when another knock came, this time making her lift her head slightly.Rolling her eyes softly, she reached for the remote control resting on her table and pressed the button that automatically unlocked and opened the door. Since she assumed it was probably someone from one of the departments, she didn’t bother looking up to see who had entered, choosing instead to continue reviewing the document while waiting for the visitor to

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Missing Him.

    Meanwhile, back in the lobby, the atmosphere had become noticeably livelier as several employees gathered in small groups, quietly discussing the mysterious man who had just walked into the company. They were all curious about his identity, and since none of them had seen him before, they began throwing out different guesses, trying to figure out who he could possibly be.“Do you think he’s a businessman?” one of the ladies asked, glancing toward the elevator where Xander and Alexa had disappeared.Another lady shook her head almost immediately and said. “I don’t think so. Have you seen how he’s dressed? If he were a businessman coming for an official meeting, wouldn’t he be wearing a suit?”“That’s true,” the first lady agreed, briefly recalling his appearance and then she added. “He wasn’t even dressed formally. He looked rather comfortable, like someone who had just stepped out for a casual visit.”“Then maybe he’s a model,” another employee suggested, drawing curious looks from th

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Caused Commotion

    Meanwhile, a few minutes later, Xander arrived at Viola’s company, but as he had not informed her that he was coming, he knew it would not be easy to meet her without alerting her to his presence. If he walked straight to the reception desk and asked to see Viola, the receptionist would undoubtedly inform her that someone was there to see her, and that was exactly what he wanted to avoid because he preferred to surprise her rather than let her know he was around before he got the chance to see her.Leaning back against his car seat, Xander rested his head against the headrest and thought for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to get inside without drawing unnecessary attention to himself. After considering his options, he finally decided that calling Alexa would be the easiest solution, since she could come downstairs to meet him without Viola having to find out that he was already at the company.With that thought, he brought out his phone, searched for Alexa’s number and

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Jealous.

    With that, Michael brought out his phone and quickly dialled Maxwell’s number, which was answered almost immediately.“Hey, man, where are you? We are about to leave,” Michael said, glancing at Xander who was sitting calmly on the chair.However, instead of receiving an answer, he heard a familiar chuckle coming from somewhere behind them. Before he could turn around, the door opened, revealing Maxwell standing there with an amused expression on his face.Seeing him, Xander chuckled lightly, while Michael immediately gritted his teeth and hissed before disconnecting the call.“Seriously, Maxwell? You couldn’t have just told me you were already here?” Michael said and complained, as he shot him an annoyed look.Hearing this, Maxwell laughed as he walked into the room and replied to him, “And spoil the fun? Besides, you were the one who called me. I thought I would save you the trouble of talking on the phone.”“You are really something else,” Michael muttered angrily, making Xander la

  • Bound By Lies: His Brother’s Obsession    Payback.

    Now with Maxwell and the waiter gone, Xander slowly turned his attention back to Derek, who was still sitting on the floor with his head lowered. Earlier when they were punching them, Xander's bodyguard brought three plastic chairs because he knew they would love to sit. So with that, Michael pulled a chair closer and sat down comfortably as he watched their captive with an amused expression. Just then, Xander stepped forward and looked down at him and said, “Now that we’re finally alone, I believe we can have a proper conversation,” saying this, a faint smile appearing on his face as he settled into the chair.Derek remained silent, not daring to meet his eyes.Watching his reaction, Xander chuckled softly before asking, “So, Derek, how does it feel knowing that all your plans have come crashing down? You and Claire must have been quite confident that everything would go exactly as you wanted.” He said this without beating around the bush. Meanwhile, the moment he heard Claire’s na

    Before Derek or the waiter could fully process what was happening, Xander suddenly stepped forward and landed a powerful punch on Derek’s face, sending his head snapping to the side. He barely had time to recover before Xander grabbed him again and delivered another blow, his expression cold and filled with anger. The waiter watched in horror, but before he could even move away, Xander turned towards him and landed a hard punch that sent him stumbling backwards.Not wanting to be left out, Michael and Maxwell quickly joined in, each taking turns landing several punches on the two men. None of them showed any intention of stopping as they continued beating them, their anger growing with every blow. Derek and the waiter tried to defend themselves, but after spending days without proper food and being trapped in the room, they barely had the strength to fight back.The beating continued until both men were almost unconscious with their bodies aching and their faces badly bruised. It w

    Maxwell coughed so hard it felt like his lungs were about to jump out of his chest.The sudden, violent sound echoed through the living room, which made Michael flinch and stared at him sharply wondering what was wrong with him.“Bro, are you alright?” Seeing his face getting red, Micheal stood up

    Opening the door, Maxwell entered holding a thin file. Then casually, he said, “here is it”, Vivian smiled sweetly and said to. “Thank you.” While he nodded at her and handed it to her. Reaching her hand to take it, their fingers brushed slightly, making them freeze for a split second.Shy, Vivia

    Vivian walked to the center of the living room and turned to stare at Alexa and Viola who were both staring at her with a calm expression. So with a mischievous grin, she said, “Alright, here is the plan.”Alexa immediately sat up straight and muttered. “I’m listening.” While just crossed her arms

    As she said this, Alexa’s smile slowly faded. Then letting out a small sigh, she clenched her fingers and said, “There’s something that’s been bothering me lately,” she said softly.Vivian and Viola immediately turned to her as Viola asked, “What is it?” Alexa hesitated to speak, but after taking
