Chapter Fifteen: Bye Bye Maria Part 2
Rhea's POV
I don't believe in coincidence.It could not have been just a random stranger with his face. I haven't slept well since I met that young man. All I see is his face. The familiarity of that gaze is just like Alexander's! He must have had an affair! He was seeing someone. Is the boy younger or older than Kosmos? I realized I'm about to yank out my hair from all these questions without answers. I can't believe he would give part of his wealth to charity. He will leave Kosmos and I without anything! He hasn't named the custodian. This is worrying. When he started meeting with his lawyer, I was worried. Now I can confirm that I had cause to worry.
Where are the rest of the billions? Only a quarter has been allocated to charity. Where is the rest? Alexander Christos makes the top five wealthiest men alive. Where is he hiding the money?
"Mother?"
"Kosmos, close the door!"
