ALEX'S POVThe house was quiet when I walked in. I found Daphne in the kitchen, her back to me, phone pressed against her ear. Her voice was low, urgent."—can't keep doing this. You need to tell me the truth. I deserve to know what's really going on." She whispered to the person at the other end of the call.It was her business and I had no right to butt in but I had this sickening feeling in my guts that it had to do with me.Trust me, my intuitions never lie.She must have heard my footsteps because she spun around, her eyes going wide and she looked guilty."I have to go," she said quickly and ended the call then she tucked the phone into her pocket."Why do you look scared?" I asked, while loosening my tie."I don't—I'm not—" She began to stutter which heightened my suspicions. Daphne never stuttered. "You're home early.""Who was that?""No one,” She had this fake smile plastered on hrt facr. “It was just a friend who you know was checking in. Why?"I wanted to push, but I didn'

ALEX'S POVThe moment I was sure that Daphne was gone after she'd closed the door, I grabbed my phone and dialed Levi.I'd sent him on an errand and he wasn't supposed to be back nor was I supposed to call until an hour later, but this was injury time and I couldn't stall for long. He picked up on the second ring. "Boss?""Leave whatever you're doing and go over to Lindsay's house, now.” "Why? What's going on?" He inquired."Lindsay didn't show up for work. No call, no text, nothing. That's not like her." I replied. I feel like something has happened to her.There was a pause. Levi knew what I wasn't telling him. People who disappeared without a trace—if they were related to me were usually already dead."I'm on it," he said, and the line went dead.I stood up and started pacing. The death threat email was still open on my laptop, mocking me while there was nothing I could do. I had tried to trace it using every program that my tech guy Marcus had provided me with but I met a wall.

Alex's PovAs a man who studied people carefully before letting them anywhere near me, I could tell that Daphne was lying through her teeth.How did I know that?If she was being dishonest, she'd always stutter and would find it very hard to always maintain eye contact, so ....when she said that she didn't hear shit, I knew she was lying.“What are you doing here?” I demanded and she held up a food bag to my face.“I brought you breakfast.” She replied.“Why?”“The driver wasn't home so I decided to bring it to you, myself.” Daphne replied.“My apologies if I offended you in any way.”“That's not an excuse for you to show up at my office unannounced,” I retorted. “You could have waited for him to return.”“The food would be cold and it would be way past breakfast time by the time he'd return.” Classic Daphne always had an answer for whatever question you threw at her. Intriguing if I may say so myself.I walked back to my desk, took a seat and beckoned her to step forward which she d

Daphne's POV The moment the front door closed, I let out a deep breath.For a second there, I thought Alex was going to remember what had happened last night. “You really have to be careful,” I said to myself as I took my sit to eat breakfast.He'd not even bothered to even stick around to eat the meal I'd taken time to pre—The abrupt ring of my phone cut off my tirade of thoughts.One look at the screen and my entire mood and morning was ruined. Tiana was calling, why?Preparing myself for her tongue-lashing, I picked up the phone, tucking it between my chin and shoulder as I packaged Alex's food.“Why did it take you so long before you answered my call?” Tiana demanded in her annoying birdlike voice that itches one part of my brain.“Good morning Miss Tiana,” I greeted. “I was busy with breakfast.”“Breakfast?” She asked.“Did you make breakfast for Alex or it's for yourself?” I'd be stupid if I told her I'd made breakfast for Alex.If she had her way, she'd slap me through the p

Alex's PovDrinking yourself to stupor the night before work was definitely a bad idea.I sat up in bed, holding my head in my hand like Uefa had decided to have their matches in my head.Hold up, I pushed the covers back and I stared down at my half naked self.Daphne, that lady had guts, I had to
