LOGINAlexander's POV…
“I would rather not involve you,” I looked at my mother. “But since you insist on knowing why…” I unlocked my phone as I bit my lower lip. “… I'll let the evidence speak for itself.” My mother stared at the phone, confusion written all over her face. “What evidence?” I met Isabelle's terrified gaze before answering. “The kind that no amount of tears can erase,” I giggled.<Lyvanne’s POV… The soft hum of the air conditioner filled my office as silence settled between us. Rovan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand tucked into his pocket, his broad shoulders tense beneath his tailored black suit. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the polished floor, making the room feel warmer than it actually was. I closed the file I'd been pretending to read and leaned back in my chair. “So…” I folded my arms. “You came all the way here just to stare out my window?” A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he turned around to look at me. He sighed, walking a few inches away from the window. “I came because you're going back to your house tonight,” he stated. “Well, I usually do,” I responded with a calm voice, my hands resting on the armrest of the executive chair I was sitting on. “I don't think you should.” His e
Alexander's POV… “I would rather not involve you,” I looked at my mother. “But since you insist on knowing why…” I unlocked my phone as I bit my lower lip. “… I'll let the evidence speak for itself.” My mother stared at the phone, confusion written all over her face. “What evidence?” I met Isabelle's terrified gaze before answering. “The kind that no amount of tears can erase,” I giggled. The color drained completely from Isabelle's face as her entire body began to tremble. For the first time since my mother arrived… She stopped crying. Why? Because she finally realized… The truth was about to speak for itself. But guess what… As I scrolled through my phone, there was nothing, nothing as evidence to back up my claim about what I was about to tell my mom that Isabelle did that triggered the
Alexander's POV… I didn't have to guess who had called my mom. Only one person would run to my mother before facing the consequences of her actions. That one person is no other person than Isabella Huston, the little b!tch who followed my mom inside the house a few seconds ago. Here I am standing outside, thinking if I should follow them inside or go out there searching for Lyvanne. I was pacing up and down wondering what to do next. ‘Perhaps this is the only opportunity I have to end everything with Isabella if I expose her to my mother.’ In the end, I made up my mind… I made up my mind to put an end to all this nonsense that has been happening. The moment I entered the grand parlor, my eyes landed on the two women seated on the luxurious sofa. My mother, Jessica Saint. And beside her… Was Isabella… . Isabella Huston. She
Isabella's POV… I waited for what seemed like years just for Jessica Saint to arrive in the city. It was as if she wasn't willing to come back, but she did, at last. Of course, there was no other way to confront Alexander than using his mom, his weakness. He always obeys everything she asks him to do, and I'm certain this one won't be different from the other ones. Indeed, Alexander was a mummy's boy… lol… Guess what, I went to the airport to pick up Mrs. Saint without Alexander's knowledge that his mother was coming back to the city that day. As we drove into the mansion, my eyes landed on Alexander, who seemed to be rushing as though he was heading for an urgent meeting. He halted immediately when he saw the SUV car entering the house. Looking through the window, I could tell how confused and curious he was to comprehend what was happening. Before Mrs. Saint could drop from the car, a f
Lyvanne's POV… Louis stood rigidly in the middle of the parlor, his gloved hands clasped behind his back. Rovan, who left us earlier, offered him a seat, but he declined. His face was clouded with anger like someone who was heartbroken. His facial expression meant one thing to me. It's either there was an attack or he has sighted a threat, and he wanted to inform me about it. “Louis,” I finally broke the silence between us. “I occasionally see you looking stressed out and not this moody. If I may ask, what's bothering you, and why are you here for us to discuss rather than waiting for me to return home?” He swallowed, lifted his gaze, and looked at me before averting his gaze away. He hesitated, something he rarely did. “With all due respect…” His gaze returned to me again. “Why did you ask us to go home?” Silence stretched between us for a moment as I sat o
Rovan's POV… I couldn't tell how this happened, but I'm glad it happened. I didn't plan for this, so I guess it's fate, and thank goodness she didn't reject me. It would have been my worst experience with a lady in my whole life. Suddenly, they retreated, causing me to quickly open my eyes in fear. As we stared at each other for a moment, the silence between us stretched, not awkward, but fragile. Lyvanne sat on the bed, sunlight spilling across the bed that was covered with a white duvet. Her fingers tightened around the untouched coffee cup before she finally set it aside. “I've been trying so hard not to fall apart," she whispered. “You don't have to pretend with me,” I responded, our eyes still locked on each other. Those six words unraveled the last thread holding her together. “I hate
Lyvanne’s POVThe silence in the room was deafening, my gaze never leaving him. The atmosphere was so quiet, like a graveyard.I watched Alexander standing frozen by the door, my question still hanging heavily in the air. I was desperate to hear what he had to say.“Why did you help me?” I asked on
“What did you do to her?!” Alex yelled at me as he went to a screaming Isabelle… that’s what I’d heard him call her. “Nothing.” I was at loss for words. I had not even touched her. She was the one who had made it seem like I pushed her. “Why are you lying?! I saw your hands on her!” He yelle
I got home, still crying. The tears were refusing to stop pouring, my heart would not stop bleeding. I felt pain. Too much pain and none was physical. Even the cabman who had driven me home had been worried about how hard I was sobbing. He’d asked questions but I didn’t answer any. Now I was ho
I studied my reflection in the mirror, taking note of the sage green dress I’d saved up money to buy. It was my anniversary and I wanted to surprise my husband at the office. The dress was fabulous and I knew my husband, Alexander would love it. He usually liked dresses that clung to me and showed
