ALEX

I slowly scrolled through the graphs and reports on my computer screen, pausing every now and then to make sure the projections matched the last quarter. They didn't just match; they exceeded them.

Over the years, Miller Enterprises had expanded into more industries, and the returns had been exponential. Especially in the last three years.

Three years since I finally gave up searching for her.

I leaned back in my chair, dragging a hand down my jaw.

The first two years after Emma vanished were chaos. I had poured everything I had into finding her. Contacts. Investigators. Private security firms. I pulled every thread and connection and called in every favor.

But it was like she had disappeared off the face of the earth.

A part of me always suspected her father had a hand in that. Alden Richards had more connections than I did, and I was sure that he had used those connections to ensure that I never found Emma.

Eventually, after two years of searching for her, I finally accepted th

    “What about you, Alex? Aren't you going to congratulate us?”Everyone turned to look at Alex, and an uncomfortable silence stretched through the room. I held my breath, my heart hammering against my ribs as I watched him.His jaw was tight, his hands clenched at his sides, and for a moment, I thought he might say something hostile.Then he stepped forward and flashed a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Of course. Congratulations to the lovebirds."He and Stefano stared at each other, and the silence that followed was thick with unspoken tension. I felt like I was watching two predators sizing each other up.Thankfully, the silence didn't last too long. One of the househelps walked into the living room."The table is set," she announced cheerfully, completely oblivious to the atmosphere."Perfect timing!" my father declared, clapping his hands together excitedly. "We should celebrate this wonderful news with some good food."I half expected Alex to excuse himself and leave. That would

    EMMAThe moment I witnessed Alex and Hillary with their lips locked, the shock was gut-wrenching, stealing the breath from my lungs.Tearing my gaze away before my mind could register any more detail, I immediately closed the car door and leaned back in my seat, willing my heart to stop feeling like it was about to tear itself out of my chest."Ma'am, are you going to get out?" the driver asked, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. "I need to continue working.""I'm not getting out here anymore," I managed to say. "Please keep driving.""Where to?""Just drive, please," I repeated, not trusting my voice to say more.I didn't dare to look out the window again, not wanting to risk seeing that sight a second time. The image was already burned into my mind: Hillary's arms around Alex's neck, their bodies pressed together.After a few minutes of aimless driving, the driver spoke up again. "Ma'am, you'll need to giv

    The kiss caught me completely off guard. For a couple of seconds, I was too taken aback to react as her lips pressed against mine.They felt unfamiliar, and they evoked nothing in me.When the initial shock wore off, I broke away abruptly, stepping back to put distance between us."What are you doing?" I demanded, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand."What I've dreamed of doing for so many years," Hillary breathed, her eyes shining with unshed tears. "I missed you so much, Alex. Now I know you missed me too."I stared at her in disbelief. “Hillary, what the hell are you talking about?”She blinked. “You helped me. You helped me be free of Robert and..."I vehemently shook my head even before she was done speaking. "Hillary, helping you doesn't mean I still love you. I only wanted to help because it was the right thing to do. I would have done the same for any other person in your situation."Disappointment flashed through her eyes. “So you don't love me anymore?”The mere thought

    ALEXThe men across from me were talking.I could see their mouths moving and their hands gesturing animatedly to the thick folder on the table between us as they tried to pitch me an investment proposal.But I was damned if I could hear a single word they were saying.Emma’s face and her lips were all I saw. Soft, full, and warm against mine.That kiss last night had felt like coming home after years of wandering in the cold. My body still remembered the press of her curves, the way her breath had caught when I deepened it.It had made my entire body come alive in a way it had never done. That was what a single kiss from her could do to me.A low tightness stirred in my groin at the memory, and I shifted in my chair.“Sir, are you alright?” Harry’s voice cut in at my side as he leaned closer with a concerned expression.Harry had only gotten back from Spain three days ago after sorting out that bureaucratic mess with the government.I nodded curtly, trying to drag myself back into th

    "Okay. What are you thinking about, sweetheart?” my mother said. “What has got you so pensive?”We were in the backseat of the car on our way back home, being driven by the chauffeur.I startled slightly at my mother's voice, realizing I'd been staring out the window without really seeing anything. "Nothing. I'm fine."My mother's knowing smile told me she wasn't buying it for a second. "Is it about Rachel and her boyfriend? Their situation reminded you of what happened with Alex years ago, didn't it?"I winced before I could control my reaction, but I tried to cover it up anyway. "Why would it remind me of that? It's not the same thing at all.""It is the same," she said calmly, her voice gentle but certain. "You loved Alex dearly, and he broke your heart by believing something about you that wasn't true because he was deceived into believing it. Just like Rachel and her boyfriend.""It's not the same," I insisted, my voice coming out sharper than I intended. "Six years have passed,

    The spa was everything I needed and more. My mum didn't book appointments in advance because she didn't have to. That was the perk of being the owner.Mum made sure we experienced every luxury the place had to offer whenever we came there, and today was no exception.We started with a detoxifying body wrap that left my skin feeling like silk, followed by a facial that made me feel human again. The steam room melted away tension I didn't even realize I was carrying, and the eucalyptus scent cleared my head in a way I hadn't experienced in weeks."This is exactly what we both needed," my mother said as we lounged in plush robes between treatments, sipping coconut water.When it came time for our deep-tissue massages, I practically melted into the heated table. The masseuse's skilled hands worked magic on my tense muscles, and for the first time in days, my mind quieted.That peace lasted exactly ten minutes.As the masseuse's hands moved across my waist, my treacherous brain decided to
