ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER FORTY SIX: THE SAFE
ALEXA’S POVHis condition had improved.Thankfully.I sat quietly beside Jason’s hospital bed, holding his warm hand in mine. The steady sound of the heart monitor filled the room, but it did little to calm the storm inside me.I lowered my head onto his hand and shut my eyes briefly.Everything felt exhausting.The fire.The lawsuit.The missing documents.The deaths.One disaster after another.A shaky breath escaped my lips as guilt settled heavily in my chest. Ever since I came into the Anderson family, chaos had followed. Sometimes, I wondered if their lives would have been better if I had never shown up.My fingers tightened slightly around Jason’s hand.Then my thoughts drifted back to that morning.The coffee.My headache.Josie.My brows furrowed.Why had she suddenly taken a leave that very day?Something about it no longer sat right with me.But then again… Josie had worked for the Andersons since she was a teenager. She was practically family.Could she really do something

ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER FORTY FOUR: ALL HOPE LOST
LISA’S POV I nervously played with my fingers while staring at the floor. My parents stood in front of me, both waiting for an explanation. “So,” my mom said sternly, folding her arms, “there has to be a reason why you suddenly decided to leave Jace’s house.” I swallowed hard. What exactly was I supposed to say? That Jace caught me having sex and kicked me out? “Speak, Lisa,” my dad said firmly. I forced a pout. “Nothing happened. I just missed you guys.” They exchanged glances immediately. Mom clearly didn’t believe me. Without another word, she picked up her phone. “I’m calling Jace right now.” Panic flashed through me. “Don’t call him!” I snapped. “Then explain why you came home with all your luggage,” Dad said calmly. I hesitated. “I… did something.” Mom narrowed her eyes. “What exactly did you do?” I suddenly got irritated. Why were they making such a huge deal out of this? “It was just sex!” I blurted out. M

ALEXA’S POVThe television blared loudly in the living room.“Breaking News: Gresham’s Building and Montreal Enterprises have officially merged into one corporate empire under the leadership of Mrs. Katey Stones and her daughter, Sydney Stones…”I switched off the television angrily.“This is bullshit,” I muttered, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.How did everything spiral out of control so quickly?My phone suddenly rang.Patrick.I picked up immediately.“Hello?”“Mrs. Anderson…” Patrick whispered from the other end.His voice sounded tense.Nervous.I immediately sat upright.“Patrick? What’s going on?”“Mrs. Stones has severed ties with all our contractors… including Mr. Palmer from Lorenzo Enterprises.”My heart skipped.Mr. Palmer was one of Gresham’s Building’s biggest international partners.Patrick continued in a lower tone.“The company revenues are dropping drastically. She’s ruining everything.”Silence followed.I tightened my grip on the phone.“Patrick
ENTANGLED MARRIAGE CHAPTER FORTY TWO: THE COURTROOM
The courtroom fell into silence as the judge walked in.“All rise.”Everyone stood immediately.The judge took his seat, his expression calm and unreadable.“Be seated.”We all sat.Across the room, Mrs. Stone sat confidently, a faint smirk playing on her lips.My chest tightened.“The court will now hear the case of property ownership between the Leonard family and Mrs. Stone,” the judge said, glancing through the files before him.Her lawyer stood up.“Your Honor, my client, Mrs. Stone, is the rightful owner of the properties in question.”He stepped forward and handed over a set of documents.“These documents clearly prove her claim.”The judge examined them carefully.My lawyer rose immediately.“Your Honor, I strongly object. Those documents are forged. My client, Mrs. Anderson, is the legitimate owner. These claims are built entirely on falsehood.”Mrs. Stone’s lawyer smiled faintly.“And where is your evidence to support such a serious accusation?”Silence fi

After a week, I was finally discharged from the hospital. The first thing on my mind was how to get the documents back.Jason stayed home with me the entire time, not bothering to go to work.“I’m sorry for all the trouble,” I said softly. “I didn’t know everything would spiral this fast.”“It’s alright, Alexa,” he replied gently. “I’m here for you. We’ll get through this—together.”He held my hands and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead.Just then, my phone rang.An unknown number.I glanced at Jason nervously. He gave me a reassuring nod, rubbing my shoulders gently.I answered the call.“Hello?”“Hey, Alexa Leonard… or should I say, Alexa Anderson?”My grip tightened around the phone.“Who’s this?” I asked, my voice tense.A soft, mocking chuckle echoed from the other end.“Oh, don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten my voice.”My heart skipped.“Mrs. Stone?”“That’s right, darling,” she replied, amused.Jason’s hand tightened
