Mrs. Leonard paced the living room restlessly, phone pressed tightly to her ear.

“Dylan, make an appointment with Mrs. Hart immediately,” she ordered sharply. “She must find a way to stop these rumours about my daughter.”

She ended the call and turned angrily to Austin.

“Austin, do something too. We can’t just sit around while my daughter is being insulted and dragged through the mud.”

Austin stared at her coldly.

“But what if it’s true?”

“Exactly!” Mrs. Anderson’s voice cut in as she walked in

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER 62: THE SECRETS WE KEEP

    ALEXAI took a long, hot shower as soon as I got home.It wasn't just an ordinary shower. I needed to clear my thoughts.After getting out of the bathroom, I wrapped a towel around myself and sank onto the bed, feeling completely exhausted.I was glad we were getting closer to recovering the documents.I sighed in relief, hoping nothing else would complicate matters. The secrets, the mysteries, everything seemed to be getting closer to an end.Or at least, I hoped so.I heard footsteps.I sat up, wondering if it was Jason.A part of me was scared because I was carrying something the enemy wanted.The footsteps were slow, drawing closer with every passing second.I stopped breathing for a moment as I stared at the doorknob. My heart pounded so hard that I could hear it.The doorknob turned, and the door opened.Jason walked in.I immediately sighed in relief.“Oh my God! You scared the shit out of me!” I exclaimed, holding my chest.“Okay, how?” he asked, sitting beside me.“I thought

    ‎‎MR ANDERSON'S POV‎‎“Max, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to,” Laura pleaded.‎‎I had heard the recording.‎‎It wasn't much of a big deal. There was obviously nothing she could use against us. Her father was clearly the villain in the tape.‎‎But how could Laura have done this?‎‎“What does she have on you?” I asked sternly.‎‎Her lips trembled.‎‎“Max, you never told me anything. You kept everything a secret from your own wife!” she suddenly snapped, her eyes red-rimmed.‎‎“What are you talking about, Laura?” I yelled.‎‎She sobbed, her eyes fixed on me.‎‎“Why are you making yourself the victim here, Laura?”‎‎“You worked with the enemy!” I shouted.‎‎I struggled to control the rage building inside me. I could feel it spreading through my chest, making it difficult to think clearly.‎‎Streams of tears began rolling down her face.‎‎“She had something on me. Something from my past.” She sat down, covering her face with her hands.‎‎“And what is that?”‎‎She shook her h

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER 60 — THE BOX

    ALEXAI walked into Steve's house, surprisingly calm.At least, I tried to look calm.I had my suspicions. I knew Mom was hiding something from me, and after everything we'd discovered at Father Michael's church, I wasn't leaving without answers.I found Steve's wife, Tina, sitting at the dining table with Mom, arranging the tablecloth.“Hey, Alexa!” Tina called, beaming.A smile immediately appeared on my face.It had been a while since I'd seen her.“Hey, Tina.”She stood up and walked toward me.We hugged.“How are you?”“I'm great.”“How was overseas? And work?”“All great, Lexa.”Before I could say anything else, Mom walked toward us.“Alexa, we were just making dinner.”She smiled.“Come join us.”“You cooked, Mom?”I rubbed the back of my neck nervously.“Of course I did. I've been taking tutorials. My food is actually good now.”“Okay, Mom.”I wasn't convinced.“Trust me. You'll love it.”She walked toward the table, obviously pleased with herself.I looked at Tina with a ques

    ALEXAI held the photograph tightly in my hands.Four men stood together.Williams.My mother's father.Jeffrey.Susan's father.Richard Cardova.Katey's father.And standing beside them was Father Michael.I stared at the photograph again.Why were these four men together?What connected them?And why had Father Michael kept this photograph hidden?Jason stepped out of the office.I remained inside with Mrs. Jada, still staring at the photograph.A few seconds later, I heard Jason's voice from the hallway.“Who's there?”Silence.“Who's there?”I looked toward the door.Jason's footsteps grew louder as he walked back toward the office.Then an elderly woman appeared beside him.She walked slowly into the room.“Mrs. Helen?” Mrs. Jada called.The woman turned toward her.“Hi, Mrs. Jada.”“Hi, ma.”I greeted her respectfully, lowering my head slightly.Her eyes moved toward me and Jason.“Andersons?”“Yes,” Jason answered immediately.His voice was impatient.“What were you saying back

    ALEXAMom was staying with Steve and his wife for the meantime.I drove into the compound and parked my car.The guards greeted me as I stepped out.I took a deep breath before walking toward the house.I needed to find out if my mom knew Father Michael.As I entered the house, I saw Mom coming down the stairs.“Alexa?”She looked slightly surprised to see me.Then, almost immediately, her expression changed.I wondered why.“What are you doing here?”I raised an eyebrow.“Are you not happy to see me?”I pouted dramatically.“You've not been calling or visiting, so yes, I'm surprised to see you.”She said it flatly.I sighed.She was right.I hadn't been checking on her as much as I should have.Between the court cases, the documents, and everything happening with the family, I barely had time to breathe.“I'm sorry, Mom.”“It's fine, Alexa.”She came closer and held my hands.We both sat on the couch.“So, how have you been doing?” I asked.“I'm managing.”She gave me a small smile.

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE    CHAPTER FIFTY SEVEN: THE NAME ON THE TAPE

    THE ANDERSON'S MANSIONMAX'S POVDinner was served promptly at seven.Herb-crusted steak rested beside creamy mashed potatoes and buttered asparagus. A basket of warm dinner rolls sat in the center of the table, while a fresh Caesar salad and glasses of sparkling water completed the meal.For dessert, there were slices of New York cheesecake.It should have been a normal family dinner.But something felt off.I stretched my hand toward Laura and Lisa.“Let's pray.”Lisa took my hand immediately.Laura, however, slowly pulled hers away.She closed her eyes and whispered a prayer beneath her breath before reaching for her fork.I frowned.That was strange.Lisa, seemingly unaware of my concern, dug into her food immediately.I glanced at her.She had a stern expression on her face.I couldn't understand why she had been acting so distant lately.After dinner, Laura quietly went upstairs.I watched her disappear before turning toward Lisa, who was sitting on the couch, typing furiously o

    “Greg,” I repeated slowly.“Yes?” he replied.“That name sounds familiar.”“Really?”“Hm… maybe I’ve heard it somewhere. But I don’t think I’ve seen this face before, so it’s probably just a coincidence.”Greg chuckled softly. “Either way, it was nice meeting you,” he said with a charming smile.“I

    “Erm…” I stammered.“You had no right to kiss me,” he said coldly.“I only wanted to prove to her that we’re really in love.”“Are we?” he asked sharply.I fell silent. Why was he even overreacting? It was just a kiss.“I warned you before, Alexa,” he added. “Don’t start building false hopes that w
