“Speaking of the devil!” I said.

“Who? Fred?” She asked, and I nodded my head.

“I thought you blocked his line?”

“I sure did! I just don't know how he manages to keep annoying me with his endless calls”. Soon, the phone stopped ringing.

“Alex!” She called my name suddenly, with a smirk.

“What?” I said, wondering what is making her to smirk like that.

“Maybe he is in love!” She finally said.

“In Love?” I scoffed loudly, and then rolled my eyes.

“You don't believe me?”

“Is it that easy?”

“Sometimes, Alex!. Well…just because you haven't experienced it, doesn't mean love isn't real, girl!”

“Alright! Have heard you, mommy! Can I go in now?" I said, when she packed at the front of my apartment, and she laughed.

“Alright, baby girl! But honestly, Alex! Someday, it's gonna be you falling hard in love with someone”

“It's not gonna happen, girl! Am tired, watch your way home, shorty!” I said, walking towards my apartment door.

“Oh, yeah! Laughing at your benefactor, now? Am not taking you al

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    The Final Confrontation

    The air was thick with tension as Chester, Liam, and their team of private investigators, accompanied by a few trusted officers, made their way toward a secluded hideout on the outskirts of the city. The location, a decrepit warehouse in an industrial district, was a place few people knew of. It was the perfect setting for Madeline’s final, twisted plan to be carried out—one that would forever erase Alex from Chester’s life. Madeline’s stepbrother, Alfredo, had been watching her every move for months, disgusted by her manipulative nature and knowing she was capable of anything to get her way. He had despised Madeline for years but had always kept his distance, too scared to confront her. However, seeing the depths of her cruelty and how she had plotted Alex's’s death, he could no longer stand by and do nothing. Alfredo had reached out to Chester in secret, providing him with the coordinates to the hideout where Alex was being held captive. He was finally ready to help Chester end Ma

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    The Last Move

    The panic spread like wildfire through the city as news of Alex’s abduction reached the public. Chester's influence had rippled across the entire country in an instant. The billionaire businessman, once seen as a distant figure in the world of luxury and power, was now a man in turmoil, his every move driven by the desperate need to save Alex. Using his connections, Chester called in every favor he could. Within hours, every seaport, every airport, and every border was locked down. The entire country was on high alert as authorities scrambled to trace Alex’s whereabouts. Interpol had been notified, and the police had begun working alongside private investigators, all racing against time to prevent Madeline’s twisted plans from coming to fruition. As Chester sat in his penthouse, eyes glued to multiple screens, tracking the progress of the search, he felt the weight of the situation pressing down on him. His mind raced—Alex was being smuggled out of the country, and there was no time

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    The Silent Hunt

    Chester’s mind raced as he and Liam sat at the front of the sleek black car, the streets of New York blurred outside the windows. The tension between them was palpable, the quiet hum of the engine barely cutting through the weight of the situation. "I can't afford to alert Madeline," Chester said quietly, his gaze focused on the road ahead. "She’s playing this game too well. We have to keep everything under the radar. If she suspects we’re on to her, she might move Alex again." Liam nodded, his expression grim. "Agreed. We’ll use private investigators. They can follow the trail without raising any suspicion. No need for police, now. We need this to be clean." Chester clenched his fists. His frustration was barely contained. He didn’t care about anything else anymore. His world had become a desperate chase to find Alex, to bring her back from the nightmare she was in. Every second that passed without her made the reality of losing her even more real. --- Meanwhile, in a dark and s

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A Race Against Time

    The streets of New York blurred as cheater's car sped down the road. His mind raced faster than the car’s engine, his heart pounding in his chest. He was so close. Just a few more miles, and he’d finally be able to see Alex, to explain himself, to tell her how much he regretted everything. But the closer he got to Alex’s house written address, the more his unease grew. His phone buzzed in his pocket, breaking the silence that had settled over him during the long drive. He pulled over, his hands trembling slightly as he grabbed it. It was a text from Daniel: "Call me. Something’s wrong." Chester's stomach twisted. Without hesitation, he dialed Daniel’s number, the anticipation gnawing at him. “Chester,” Daniel’s voice came through the phone, urgent and clipped. “It’s Alex. She’s gone.” Chester's pulse spiked. “What do you mean, gone? Where the hell is she?” “Someone took her. We don’t know who or why, but they grabbed her and her son. No sign of a struggle, just—gone. The police a

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    Madeline's Vengeance

    As the evening wore on, the luxurious ballroom where Chester’s wedding was supposed to take place was now eerily quiet. The guests had scattered, and the only sound that remained was the faint rustling of fabric from Madeline’s mother and her family, who had tried to console the shattered woman in the wake of Chester's abrupt departure. Madeline, her face pale and tear-streaked, sat alone in a chair near the empty altar, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. The luxurious wedding gown that had once symbolized the beginning of a new life for her now felt like a suffocating shroud. Her mind raced with thoughts of betrayal and humiliation. She had spent so long trying to claw her way into Chester’s life, only for him to abandon her without a word. Her mother and the other family members kept trying to reach out to her, offering empty words of comfort. “He’ll come back around, darling,” her mother said gently, dabbing at Madeline’s tears with a lace handkerchief. “He has to. You’

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    The Last Minute Escape

    The opulent venue was buzzing with excitement as the guests gathered, their eager whispers filling the air. The grand chandeliers cast a golden glow over the extravagant ballroom, and outside, the elite guests sipped champagne in a garden adorned with roses, basking in the spectacle of Chester's and Madeline’s wedding. Chester stood at the altar, a mere puppet of his family’s design. His chest tightened with every passing second. The distant clink of glasses and the murmured chatter of the crowd did little to drown out the chaotic thoughts racing through his mind. He couldn’t do it. He couldn’t marry Madeline. As the officiant began the ceremony, Chester’s gaze flickered to Madeline, standing beside him with her flawless smile and eyes that glittered with triumph. But all he could think about was Alex—the woman he had loved, the woman he had lost. His heart slammed against his ribs, and his breath caught in his throat as a text message vibrated in his p

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A Future In The Making

    The weight of the news still hung heavily in the air as Alex watched the announcement unfold on the television screen. The buzz from the media, the socialites, and the world beyond seemed to intensify as the forced engagement between Chester and Madeline Brooks was broadcasted. The lavish wedding details began circulating—grand venues, designer dresses, and the promise of a high-profile ceremony to match the family's elite status. It felt surreal to Alex, who had once been that woman—caught in the whirlwind of Chester’s world, a world filled with promises and expectations. Yet, here she was, standing at the threshold of a new chapter, away from it all. Her son stirred in his crib, pulling her out of her thoughts. She smiled softly, walking over to him, watching as his tiny fingers reached up in his sleep. Despite everything—despite the confusion, the heartache, the betrayal—he was her miracle. And for him, she would build a future free from the past, free from the shadows of Leon a

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A New Beginning

    Alex sat quietly in the park, the soft hum of the city around her, but her mind was far away. She glanced down at her son, his bright eyes reflecting the sunlight as he played with a small toy in his hands. He was the center of her world, and every decision she made from here on out would be for him. But there was something else. Something growing inside her—an uncertainty, a curiosity, a question that she had tried to ignore for so long. Could she open her heart again?... Liam had been there for her in a way that no one else had. He had never asked for anything, never pushed her to be someone she wasn’t. The more time she spent with him, the more she realized how much she appreciated his quiet strength, his kindness, and the ease with which he made her laugh. It wasn’t love yet, not the passionate kind she had shared with Leon, but it was something. Something she hadn’t felt in a long time... Liam had made it clear that he wasn’t ru

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A New Path

    The weight of the announcement still hung heavily in Alex’s chest. She had tried to stay indifferent, but the image of Chester, standing next to Madeline, his expression distant yet resigned, kept haunting her. It wasn’t that she expected him to sit around pining for her, but seeing him so publicly move on, so easily, was more painful than she anticipated. As much as she told herself that it was for the best, that she was better off without him, there was always that nagging voice in the back of her mind. What if things could have been different? What if they hadn’t fallen apart the way they had? Could they have found a way back to each other? But that was in the past. And now, all that mattered was her son. He had her heart and soul, and Alex was determined to give him the best life possible. As she sat in the quiet of her apartment, holding her son close, she felt a stirring of something unexpected. It wasn’t just a feeling of longing for a man who no
