HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 6: I PAID FOR YOUR SERVICES.
ADRIAN'S POV I stared at her, speechless. She stared back at me with her chest heaving. "You didn't have to pay me back," I said quietly. "I never asked you to.""You sent me the bill."I sighed. "I didn't expect you to whore yourself out to pay it.""I'm not…" She stopped and wallowed. "I'm not whoring myself out.""What do you call this?"Her voice cracked. “I'm just trying to survive.” The word hung between us.I turned away. I couldn't look at her anymore.I ran my fingers through my hair. "I'm telling the owner to fire you. I won't let you do this.” My voice was low.I picked up my phone, but she grabbed my hand immediately. "You have no right to do that.” Her trembling fingers wrapped on my hand. I looked at her. “Yes, I can. I can complain as a client and have you fired. Let go of me.” "No." She stepped closer. "This is the only job I could find. No one else will hire me. I need the money.""You don't need to do this.""I do." Her voice broke. "I have two days to pay you
HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 5: I'M NOT NICOLE MARCHETTI
ADRIAN'S POVThere was something about her.I couldn't place it at first. The way she moved was like water finding its path through stone. The way her body swayed to the music like she had all the time in the world and nothing left to lose. I had been coming to this place for years. It was the same routine. The masked women, the darkened rooms, and silent transactions. It was an entertainment and distraction. Nothing more.But tonight, the woman dancing in front of me was different. She made my body react in a way none of the other women ever did. She was new because I've never seen her. The shape of her body, the curve of her waist, and the way her silver dress caught the dim red light and threw it back like a challenge.I sat still like I always do. I never touched the women. They always tried to go further with me, but I always sent them away before midnight. The owner always gets frustrated and asks why I never spend the night with any of the women. I just told him that they
HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 4: THE LAST RESORT.
NICOLE'S POV The hospital bill was waiting for me when I woke up.I stared at the paper in my hands, my vision still blurry from sleep, my body still weak from the fever that had nearly killed me.Invoice. Ashford Holdings. Paid in full by Adrian Ashford.And beneath it, a handwritten note in sharp, elegant script:"You have a week to pay it all. — A.A."I crumpled the paper in my fist.He saved my life just to send me the bill.How did he even find me there? Was he stalking me now? I found a bag on the chair, there were new clothes inside and an envelope. It was a jacket, an inner shirt and sweatpants, thick enough to protect me from the cold. There was some cash in the envelope. I scoffed. I knew what he was doing. He wants to keep helping me until I owe him a fortune and have no choice but to submit to him. I'm not going to give him that satisfaction. I need to get a job, anything to pay him back. I left the hospital that morning without checking out. I couldn't afford the p
HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 3: NEXT TARGET LOCKED.
ADRIAN'S POVThree days ago.My assistant, Marcus, stood in front of my desk with a folder in his hands. "Sir, the investigation report of Nicole Marchetti just came in.”After witnessing the humiliation of Nicole Marchetti at my niece's engagement, I decided to investigate the case myself. So I got some professionals to do it. They were my most trusted private investigator agency. I stopped typing. "What did they find?” He opened the folder."Elliot Vane and Nicole Marchetti were in a relationship for six years, way before she became the CEO. According to the report, Nicole helped him build his law firm with her money. She introduced him to influential clients. She made him the legal advisor of Marchetti Industries when she became CEO three years ago."I leaned back in my chair."Six years.""Yes, sir.""And no one knew?""They kept it a secret. According to what she told the public defender, Elliot didn't want people to think he used her to climb the social ladder. Nicole agreed
HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 2: THE RISKY DEBT.
NICOLE'S POVI was found guilty and sentenced to prison. Elliot never showed up at the court room, my fate ended up in the hands of a public defender, Mr Reeves. He tried his best to defend me but I couldn't defend myself against all the evidence that pointed towards me. They were real and undeniable, I felt stupid every time I tried to defend myself. Because I couldn't provide a good explanation to counter all the accusations and evidence. I had no idea how all these had been going on in my company for three years, right after I became the CEO. Mr Reeves was outsmarted and I couldn't blame him. It was over, I was completely done and no one was coming to save me. ************The cell was small with gray walls and a thin mattress. A toilet that didn't flush properly. A window the size of a shoebox that let in just enough light to remind me that the world was still spinning without me.I sat on the edge of the mattress, my back straight, my hands folded in my lap. I refused to l
HIS FIANCEE'S UNCLE IS MY ALIBI 1: THE FALL OF AN HEIRESS
NICOLE'S POV The headline stared back at me from my phone screen, mocking me with its bold black letters."THE SHADOW BROKER STRIKES AGAIN: MARCHETTI INDUSTRIES FALLS."My hands were shaking. My vision blurred as the words swam together and separated and swam again, but the meaning stayed the same.The Shadow Broker.The anonymous business mogul who had been haunting the corporate world for ten years. No face. No name. No identity. Just a legend whispered in boardrooms and feared in every executive suite across the city.He took companies when they hit rock bottom. He bought their stock for pennies. He rebranded them, made them successful, and made a lot of profit off them. And now he had taken mine.Marchetti Industries.My grandfather built this industry from scratch and made it one of the most successful in the city. My father took over the empire and took it to a different level.As the only daughter and heir, it was my job to continue that legacy. I worked so hard to prove mys
