Chapter 87

Alaric’s Pov

The name made my stomach tighten with immediate distaste. Of all people.

“Ginny Thorne?” I repeated, my voice low and sharp.

Anna nodded slowly, clearly sensing the storm brewing beneath my calm expression. I had no patience for Ginny, or her dramatics. I leaned forward, clasping my hands together on the desk.

“Tell her I’m not available. And under no circumstances is she to be let in here.”

Anna blinked, startled, then quickly bowed her head and stepped back out, closing the door softly behind her.

I leaned back again, sighing and pinching the bridge of my nose. Ginny. That woman always showed up like a weed you thought you'd pulled out by the root, only to find it sprouting again when you least needed the distraction. A few minutes passed. I tried to return to the documents in front of me, but my eyes weren’t really reading. My mind was already focused on Rhea, on how she would be waiting for me back at the estate. I wanted to see her face, to hold her hand,

    Chapter 91Rhea's Pov I turned slowly, biting the inside of my cheek to keep from grinning like a devil. His back was to me, head tilted as he drank from the bottle of water, his throat bobbing with each gulp. He looked flushed. Not from the heat, but from me. The thought alone made my entire body tingle.I stepped forward, as light as a breeze, until I was behind him. My fingers grazed his lower back through the thin material of his shirt, then danced lightly up along his spine.He choked.The water sputtered from the bottle, splashing straight forward and I gasped as the cold liquid hit me square on the chest.Right. On. The. Shirt.“Shit!” Alaric spun around, eyes wide with horror, “Rhea, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to… I just… Are you…”The cold had hit me like a slap, but the sensation was nothing compared to the heat rushing through my body when I saw the way his gaze dropped.The wet fabric clung to me now, transparent, molded to every dip and swell of my body. I could see the

    Chapter 90 Rhea's Pov The second the door clicked behind me after I left the restaurant, guilt began to gnaw at me.I didn’t regret what I said to Ginny, no. She deserved to drag herself into whatever she's planning with her own hands. But pulling Alaric into it and making it sound like he was the villain, it didn’t sit right with me. Especially after I said he abused me. In the past life, nor in this life, he had never done anything like that to me. Ever! I was angry at myself for even daring to say those things. Not after everything he’s done for me lately. Not after the way he looked at me yesterday, quiet, gentle, like I was the only thing grounding him. I knew I needed to fix things. Or at least… try. Even if he didn't hear my words, I was sure Ginny was going to tell him. By the time I got home, the weight of my words still hung around my shoulders like a soaked coat. My chest felt tight. Alaric hadn’t done anything to deserve the things I implied. I sighed, dropping my key

    Chapter 89 Alaric's Pov “Oh! Thank you, Alaric! Thank you so much! I promise I won't let you down.” Her eyes were literally gleaming now, “I'll try to talk to Rhea not to say those mean things about you. Even if it's just a rumour, if it gets spread, it can damage your reputation and your company. Even though my sister is taking over my father's company, she doesn't even know a thing about it. I'm concerned about her…” She trailed off, glanced at me and spoke again. “But I'm sure you'll help her, right Alaric?!” I cringed at the way she called my name and was speaking. Like a child. Right now, strangling her so her voice box could be damaged was at the top of my list. She was really grating on my nerves.“Of course. I'll help her in your account. Seeing how nice you are to your sister even though she said all those things makes me understand that maybe she's the issue.” Saying these stuff made me want to slam my head on the wall but, I just had to. “I'm glad you recognise my eff

    Chapter 88Alaric’s Pov “Rhea wants to take Kevin as her date to the party?” I repeated and Ginny nodded frantically, her lips widening but I glared at her, and she stopped in her tracks, “Why do you think I would believe you? Rhea doesn’t want anything to do with Kevin so why should I…” “I have proof of what she said just in case you don’t believe me.” She said and then raised her phone in the air, wiggling it playfully. Afterwards, she played a recording and it was Rhea’s voice coming from the phone. I frowned, it truly was Rhea’s voice, there was no way that I would not recognise Rhea’s voice. When the recording finished playing, Ginny smiled at me, her eyes twinking. “Even if Rhea did say she was going to go to the party with Kevin, why do you care about it?” I asked calmly. I was not going to blame Rhea for doing whatever action she wanted to take. Ever since I had come back to the past, I had been careful in associating with Rhea. I did not want to scare her off and no matte

    Chapter 86 Alaric’s Pov “Regarding that guy that we caught previously, we have word on him.” Marcus said to me, placing his phone on the table. “Didn’t I say no one should watch him?” I questioned, glancing at Marcus with an accusing look. However, Marcus merely raised his hands up in surrender and shook his head, “No one was watching him boss, he was spotted near this place by the camera’s that we had placed there sometime ago. I was going through the footage when I saw him, then I realised that he met up with someone whom you might like to see.” Marcus gestured towards the phone again and I picked it up, fixing my eyes on the screen. The screen was bare for a while, only the building’s in front of the camera showing, but after a few seconds, the man ran across and he looked scared, as if he was running from someone. Then later, he came back hiding behind someone else. I instantly paused the video, bringing the phone closer to my face. “Is this…?” I murmured, looking closer at th
