    Alexander's POV I could not sleep that night, which was not unusual, except that this time I did not even pretend to try. Elena had gone back to her own apartment for the first time in several days, wanting, she said, to water the single plant she had been neglecting and sleep in her own bed for a change, and I had told her that was a good idea, healthy even, and then I had sat alone in my office until well past one in the morning doing the one thing I had promised myself, more than once, that I would eventually stop doing. I pulled out the file. It lived in the bottom drawer of my desk, a thick accordion folder gone soft at the corners from four years of being opened and closed in the middle of nights exactly like this one. Newspaper clippings. Printed emails. A timeline I had built and rebuilt so many times the paper itself had started to feel less like evidence and more like scripture, something I returned to not because it told me anything new but because the returning i

    Elena's POV Alexander did not tell me about the lease over coffee this time. He took me to see it. "Get your coat," he said, at seven thirty in the morning, already pulling his own jacket on. "I want to show you something." "Show me what?" "You will see." We drove to Millbrook in the early light, the streets still mostly empty, delivery trucks idling outside shuttered storefronts, a man hosing down the sidewalk in front of a diner we passed twice while looking for parking. Alexander pulled up outside a narrow brick building with a faded awning and a For Lease sign taped crookedly in the window, two doors down from the corner where I used to wait for the bus during my months working for Miss Clara. "Is this it?" I asked. "This is it," he said. "I have not signed anything. I want to be very clear about that before we go in. I have a key because the landlord gave it to Rachel so we could look at it properly. That is all I have done." I looked at him for a moment, taking

    Daniella's Pov He stood in the doorway, the hallway light casting a harsh glow that made the sweat on his chest glisten. His hand was already tugging at the waistband of his jeans, the denim stretching as his erection pushed against the fabric. A low, teasing chuckle escaped his lips. “Looks like you two got started without me,” he said, voice low and teasing, his hand already moving to the front of his pants. “Mind if I join?”My heart hammered against my ribs, a mixture of shock and fierce desire. I could feel Mom’s heat beneath me, her nightgown riding up to expose the slick, glistening folds of her pussy, my own fingers still slick with our combined juices. I licked my lips, tasting the remnants of her essence, and whispered, “Please… fuck yes. We’ve been waiting for you.”He smirked, eyes dark with lust, and shoved his jeans down in one swift motion. His cock sprang free, thick and veined, already glistening with precum that dripped onto the wooden floor. He stepped fully int

    Elena's POV Sandra Okafor was a small woman in her late thirties with sharp eyes and possess the kind of quiet confidence that came from spending a very long time in rooms where people did not want to tell her things and telling her them anyway. She stood up when Alexander and I walked in together. I watched her clock Alexander immediately, that slight widening of the eyes that people always had when they encountered him in person for the first time, and then she composed herself and shook both our hands and sat back down. "I did not expect you to bring him," she said to me not accusatory just noting it. "He has more right to what is in that envelope than anyone," I said. She considered that for a moment then she nodded and slid the envelope across the table. Alexander looked at it then looked at me. I gave him a small nod and he opened it. He read in silence. I watched his face. It did not move much, it never moved much, but I had learned to read the small things now. T

  • My Ex-Husband's Enemy Loved Me better: A Hockey Rival Romanc   CHAPTER 21

    Elena's POV The name the journalist said was Georgina Vance. I sat down slowly on the couch because my legs made the decision before my brain did. "I need you to say that again," I said. "Georgina Vance," Sandra Okafor repeated. "She and Daniel St. James were in a relationship for approximately eight months during his junior and senior year of college. She was aware of the addiction from very early on. She was also aware of Damien's involvement in supplying the initial connection. And she chose not to disclose that to anyone, including Daniel's family, when Daniel died." I sat very still. "How do you know this?" "I have been investigating Damien Volkov for fourteen months," she said. "I have three independent sources who have corroborated the timeline. I also have emails." "Emails." "Between Georgina and Damien, from the period immediately following Daniel's death. Damien is careful about most things but he trusted Georgina completely at that point. The emails are ca

  • My Ex-Husband's Enemy Loved Me better: A Hockey Rival Romanc   CHAPTER 20

    Elena's POV I did not argue. That probably said more about the state I was in than anything else I could tell you. Because I was not someone who did what I was told without question anymore. Five years of that had cured me of it permanently. But when Alexander pressed that emergency stop button and said you are coming with me, I looked at that video on my phone screen and I wondered what that small cylindrical object was. I just said okay. Just like that. Okay. Marcus met us in the parking garage thirty minutes later with two other men I had never seen before and a level of quiet urgent organization that told me this kind of situation, while not routine, was something Alexander's world had protocols for. Nobody went up to my apartment that night. Marcus sent someone else. The report came back an hour later and Alexander read it on his phone and his jaw did that tight thing but he did not show me the screen. "What was it?" I asked. He looked at me for a moment. Then he sa
