MasukDevan felt Alexa’s body still trembling.He lifted her into his arms.“Clean up all this mess. And find the mastermind behind this ambush.” Devan’s eyes sharpened as he gave orders to the people lying on the asphalt.“Yes, Sir.” Mike nodded in understanding.Alexa remained silent, hiding her face in Devan’s chest when she heard his firm, unquestionable voice.Devan walked toward the car while carrying Alexa. He made sure she sat comfortably.When Devan pulled his hand away, Alexa immediately held onto his wrist.Devan was surprised. He looked at Alexa’s face, which was still pale.“You won’t leave me alone, will you?” Alexa looked at him fearfully.Devan extended one hand. He gently stroked Alexa’s hair.“I won’t. I’m just going to sit in the seat next to you.” Devan gestured with his chin toward the seat beside Alexa.Slowly, Alexa released Devan’s hand. She nodded softly.Devan closed the car door before walking around the car to get into the seat beside Alexa.Once seated next to h
At Ronan’s apartment. Some time earlier.Ronan sat anxiously. He was waiting for news from his men.Until his phone rang. Ronan hurriedly answered the incoming call.One of his legs was crossed, his left arm rested on the back of the sofa, while his other hand held the phone against his ear.“Did you manage to find her?” Ronan’s smile spread perfectly. He could no longer wait for the results of his hired men’s surveillance.“Yes, Sir. We are tailing her now.”Alexa had blocked him and kept avoiding him. So now, Ronan had to act quickly before Alexa slipped out of his reach again.“Capture her, no matter how. I want her in front of me even if it has to be by force,” Ronan ordered.“Yes, Sir. I will carry out your order immediately.”“And remember, if you fail to do it, then never drag my name into this.”The call ended.Ronan took a glass from the table, then gulped down the drink until it was finished.“Don’t blame me for being harsh, Alexa. Blame yourself for daring to lie to me and
Alexa went to Valeria’s house using her own car.Upon arriving at her friend’s house, Alexa was greeted by a servant.“Miss Valeria is in her room, Miss. You may go upstairs.”Alexa smiled enthusiastically.She hurried up the stairs, heading to Valeria’s room.“Val.” Alexa’s voice rang out as the bedroom door opened.Without waiting for Valeria’s response, Alexa entered just like that.“Val, where are you?” Alexa stood near the bed. Her eyes wandered when she did not find Valeria anywhere.“Wait a moment, I’m in the bathroom. Have a seat first, Alex.”Alexa turned to the closed bathroom door. She finally sat on the sofa, waiting for Valeria.Not long after that,Valeria came out of the bathroom.A small towel was wrapped around Valeria’s hair on top of her head.“What? You’ve already come here this early in the evening. What news do you want to share?” Valeria quickly sat beside Alexa. She looked at her friend, who was still wearing her work clothes.Alexa first gulped down the juice
Seeing the shock on Ronan’s face, Mr. John quickly said, “You’d better ask her directly. I’ll excuse myself.”Ronan was stunned. He hadn’t even spoken much with Mr. John, yet the man had already left him.“What’s going on, Ronan? Could it be that Alexa already got the project from Mr. John? But if that’s true, who did she give it to?” Felicya’s words provoked him.Ronan’s hands clenched into fists. His jaw tightened.“Damn it … don’t tell me Alexa really planned all of this. Not only ruining the engagement party, but also taking Mr. John’s multi-billion project.” Ronan growled.Seeing the hatred in Ronan’s eyes, Felicya smiled faintly. Her plan to remove Alexa from the Ivander family was becoming more and more achievable.“So what now? You lost a multi-billion project because of Alexa.” Felicya looked sympathetic, though in truth she was fueling Ronan’s hatred.“Just wait. Once I find her, I won’t stay silent.” Ronan’s gaze burned with anger.**That afternoonAlexa stared at the mess
Devan was focused on the documents on his desk when his phone, lying on the table, rang.His sharp eyes glanced at the name displayed on the screen before his hand reached for the phone.“Hello.” Devan’s voice was firm.“Have you fulfilled the requirement your father gave you? Remember, the longer you delay, the less chance you have to meet the condition your father set.”Hearing the words of his father’s lawyer from the other end of the call, Devan’s gaze shifted to Alexa.Devan did not respond immediately. He remained silent for a moment.“When is the deadline?” Devan spoke calmly, even though his chest churned.“One more month. If you can’t fulfill his will, then forget your desire.”Devan pinched the bridge of his nose.Is this the right time?“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”The call ended just as Alexa approached Devan’s desk.“I’ve rechecked this document. You can sign here now.” Alexa turned the open folder, facing it toward Devan so he could sign it immediately.However, Deva
When they arrived at the company.Alexa entered the office with Devan.As she approached her desk, her steps slowed.Her gaze fell on her desk. Everything on it had changed.“That .…” Alexa pointed at the desk while looking at Devan. “Why have all the things on my desk changed?”Mike immediately glanced at Devan. He swallowed nervously, his eyes practically saying, ‘You explain it, sir.’Meanwhile, Devan stood calmly.“I replaced them. Ronan came here and recognized your belongings. I didn’t want him to get suspicious.”Mike felt relieved that Devan explained.But he was still nervous about being blamed by Alexa for replacing everything without her permission.Alexa’s gaze returned to her desk after hearing Devan’s answer.Her hand slowly lowered. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at every item on the desk.“They’re all so cute. I really like them.” Alexa moved closer to her desk, examining each object carefully.She looked back and forth between Devan and Mike.“Who bought these things
