ALEXA’S POV

Sunlight streamed in, falling directly on his face. He stirred slightly, then opened his eyes slowly.

The moment he saw me, he sat up.

“What are you doing here?”

“I just came to check on you,” I replied softly.

He rubbed his face and got out of bed immediately.

“Where are you going?” I asked, following him.

“To the hospital. Where else?”

“At least take a shower or eat something first.”

He let out a dry scoff.

May the Lord comfort us in our grief, and may we find strength in the memories we shared with her.”The priest’s voice echoed softly through the hall.Silence followed.We were all dressed in black, seated among a large congregation—business partners, family members, acquaintances, and even celebrities who had arrived in long lines of sleek cars. The atmosphere was heavy… suffocating.Then it was time for tributes.A woman who looked to be in her forties stepped forward, her hands trembling slightly.“I… I want to say to the family, I’m deeply sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in perfect peace.”Her voice cracked.“Mrs. Anderson was a kind woman. Very generous, despite her status. Not all celebrities are like that… some are quite the opposite. But she was different.”Tears rolled down her cheeks.“She helped my son continue his education when I couldn’t afford it. My husband had left

    ALEXA’S POVI knew it.I was right not to get my hopes up.Last night, I expected Jason to continue being… different. Softer. Warmer.Instead, he walked past me at dinner as if nothing had changed. Cold. Distant. Back to being the grumpy, unreadable man I married.I shouldn’t have expected anything.Today was exhausting. I had a press interview scheduled, back-to-back meetings, pending contracts to review, and documents stacked endlessly on my desk.Thankfully, the company was improving steadily. Clients were returning. New partnerships were forming. Business-wise, things were finally stabilizing.Emotionally?That was another story.“Mrs. Anderson?” Tiffany’s voice pulled me from my thoughts as she stepped into my office.I arched an eyebrow. “Yes?”“There’s someone here to see you.”“I’m extremely busy,” I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Who is it?”Tiffany hesitated.“Mrs. Stones.”My head snapped up.“Mrs. Stones?”*****************************SYDNEY’S POV“Okay,” I said sharply. “W

  • ENTANGLED MARRIAGE     CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: UNFINISHED BUSINES

    JASON’S POVI stepped out of the conference room after a long meeting with my associates and department heads. We were currently finalizing preparations for the grand opening of my new boutique complex in Georgia. Expanding the business had always been my goal — regardless of Jace’s recent laziness.The malls, theatre organizations, restaurants, and boutiques in other states were performing well, and that alone kept me motivated.I returned to my office and sank into my chair, checking updates on my phone. Most of the responsibility had fallen on me lately. Jace’s nonchalant attitude wasn’t helping, and I refused to let years of hard work crumble because of it.Suddenly, I heard raised voices from my secretary’s office.Curious, I stepped out.“I said I want to see your boss! Do you even know who I am?” a familiar female voice snapped.“Do you have an appointment?” Sandra replied calmly.“You don’t know me? I’m—”“Holly,” I said, exhaling slowly.She turned dramatically. “Jason! This

    SYDNEY’S POV“So, Mom, what exactly are you trying to do? And who is this man?” I asked sharply, irritation clear in my voice as my eyes settled on the stranger seated across from us.“Well,” my mother said calmly, “this man is helping me with Gresham’s documents.”I stared harder at him. The strange man was dressed entirely in black, from head to toe — even his face was hidden behind a mask.“And how does this concern me?” I asked coldly.“Sydney, I know you’re against Alexa. That makes you useful,” my mother said evenly.“Mom, I’m not interested in your business. Handle your problems while I handle mine. Leave me out of this.”“Sydney,” she said patiently, “we can bring her down together. I’m already working on something.”“Mom—”“Listen carefully,” Mrs. Stones interrupted. “If we work together, we can both get what we want. I already have someone inside her company who will get me those documents. Everything is in motion. You just need to trust me. This man here is a great help.”I
