He poured us both a glass of wine, studying me carefully before speaking. "How have you been?"

I let out a dry laugh. "You don’t get to ask me that."

His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. "I’ve been looking into obstetricians in Manhattan. The best of the best—whatever you need."

My heart lurched, but I forced my face to remain blank. "I don’t need your help."

"You’re carrying my child, Alex. That makes it my responsibility too."

"Funny, because you didn’t care about responsibilities when you were busy chasing Natasha."

His entire body tensed. "I told you—I made mistakes."

"Yeah? Well, some mistakes cost too much to fix."

Silence. He took a slow sip of wine, his gaze never leaving mine. "What will it take?"

I frowned. "What?"

"For you to believe me. To give me a chance."

I exhaled sharply, gripping my glass tighter. "That’s just it, Chester. I don’t want to give you a chance. I don’t need to believe you. I’ve already moved on."

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    "This Time Forever "

    The sun dipped low behind the Washington's skyline, painting the sky in warm shades of gold and crimson. Alex stood on the balcony of Chester’s villa, the same place where once, her heart had known nothing but confusion and hurt — and now, calmness. In her arms, their son giggled softly, his tiny fingers reaching for the wind. Chester, fully healed but changed in ways deeper than scars could ever show, stepped onto the balcony, watching the two people he had almost lost — the only two people who mattered. He cleared his throat, nervous for the first time in a long while. “Alex…” His voice was soft, nearly swept away by the evening breeze. “I once asked you to marry me out of pride and selfishness. I pushed you into a contract that made you feel like you didn’t matter. But this time… I’m asking because I want to spend the rest of my life making sure you know just how much you do.” She turned slowly, her heart tightening, tears threatening to escape. He pulled a small velvet box

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    A Love Rewritten

    Months of healing, quiet laughter, and shared memories had finally woven the broken pieces of Chester's and Alex’s hearts back together. The house that once echoed with cold silence was now filled with soft footsteps, the sound of their son’s giggles, and the tender exchanges between two people who had faced the brink of heartbreak — and survived. He had finally healed, both in body and soul. The scar from the bullet wound was a permanent reminder of how close he’d come to losing everything, but the real wound — the one he had inflicted on her — had taken even longer to mend. And now, as he looked at her, holding their son in the early morning light, he knew deep in his bones that he couldn’t let another moment pass without making things right. But this time, he wouldn’t offer her a cold, emotionless contract. No, this time, he wanted it all. The real vows. The real ring. A real future. --- Chester had kept his plans tightly under wraps, involving only a few trusted people — Dani

  • THE HEAT BETWEEN US    Healing And Rebuilding

    Weeks had passed since the life-altering events, and the heavy weight of it all slowly began to lift as the days moved forward. Alex had barely left Chester's side since the day of the shooting. Her hands had trembled with fear each time she helped him with his recovery, but her love for him—and her determination to rebuild what they had—kept her focused. The villa, once a symbol of everything they had lost, now felt like the place where they would reclaim their future. Chester was finally home from the hospital, and though he was still physically weak, his spirits had lifted as Alex devoted herself to caring for him. The weeks of sleepless nights had taken their toll, but now there was a quiet sense of hope.Chester’s mother had taken grandson into her care, ensuring that the baby was well looked after while his parents focused on healing. Despite everything that had happened, Alex was thankful for her support. Her son was safe and happy, his innocent giggles filling the house, a re

  • 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
