Alexander's POV

Through the rain, at the gate of Jasmine Manor.

Alexander stood there with his umbrella, frozen in place, staring at the spot where the black sedan had disappeared. He didn't move a muscle.

Next to him, Elena shivered from the cold and tugged at his sleeve.

"Don, your umbrella's tilted. The rain's getting me all wet. I'm freezing!"

Just then, the estate manager's call cut in. The manager's voice was panicked.

"Don! Donna's clothes and everything she owns, they're all gone—"

  • The Donna's Last Gift   Chapter 8

    I was stationed at a highly classified base, working on the latest generation of weapons systems.The team leader, Marcus, said:"Take a break if you're tired."I stretched, had a cup of tea, and chatted with the team.Sometimes I'd pause and think how my life at Alexander's mansion felt like a dream now, so far away.I'd almost forgotten the betrayals, the lies, the smell of blood.I was double-checking the last few data sets on my screen when the base alarm suddenly went off.A frantic announcement came over the speakers: we were under attack by unknown armed forces. Everyone was to evacuate immediately through the emergency exits.I ran with the crowd.When we made it to the open ground outside the base, I saw we were completely surrounded by heavily armed men.Harsh lights hit us from every direction. I squinted.At the front of the group, I saw a familiar figure.Alexander.I stood still, but my heart sank.People were screaming, some tried to fight back, but they were quickly pin

    Alexander's POVElena was dragged out of the hall, completely broken, crying and laughing, her voice raw from screaming.Alexander stood there the whole time, never sparing her another glance. He just gave the cold order to get rid of her.After that, Alexander went crazy searching for Olivia.He called in favors from his inside contacts at the FBI, activated the entire East Coast underground intelligence network, and even pulled strings with people in the federal government.But no matter which route he took, he couldn't find a single trace of her.Her files had vanished. No credit card activity. No travel records. Nothing.It was like she'd been erased from the face of the earth.Alexander grew more and more withdrawn. He stopped going out and locked himself in his study all day.He often sat alone in the dark, drinking bottle after bottle until he passed out.Sometimes he'd think back to Elena's smug attitude when she first came to the house, how she actually believed she was the fu

Donna's clothes and everything she owns, they're all gone—"Elena heard the voice through the phone and couldn't help but laugh. She wrapped herself around his arm."It's okay, Alexander. Let her go. I've got your baby now—""Quiet."Alexander's voice came out low and dark.Elena went dead silent, barely daring to breathe.Alexander handed her the umbrella."I have something to take care of.

    I turned to Alexander and asked, "Who's outside?"Alexander shifted to block the gap in the door, his voice soft. "Darling...""Elena! It's me."Elena laughed and pushed past Alexander, slipping inside.Her eyes landed on my hands right away. She tilted her head."Elena, what's in that pretty little box you're holding?""A gift for Alexander."I answered calmly.Alexander reached over and wrapped an arm around me."Darling, why don't you put it in the safe first? You know the code."Elena hooked her arm through mine."Elena, I'll go with you!"In the study, I put the box with the divorce papers and family seal into the safe. I turned around. Elena was watching me, that innocent look still on her face.She asked, "Elena, I'm the person you love most in this world, right?""Of course."I looked at her, a small smile on my lips."Then... if I did something wrong, you'd still forgive me, just like before, right?"She blinked, her face as innocent as when she was a kid and used to beg for f

    I followed the tracker's signal all the way to the estate on the south outskirts.The moment I parked in the shadows, I felt a suffocating wave hit me.The fountain at the front gate was identical to the one at my estate.When Rose Manor was finished, Alexander had held me by the waist and told me he'd designed that fountain himself. One of a kind in the world. A symbol that I was his one and only.But now that "one of a kind" was sitting at Elena's front gate too.A few minutes later, a red sports car roared up to the entrance. Elena's car.I put on my bluetooth earbuds. The tracker's built-in microphone picked up their voices loud and clear."I didn't want to wish you two anything tonight!"Elena's voice came through, pouty and whiny."Fireworks, helicopters, Olivia has everything. I just want you. Why can't that be enough?"Alexander's low, indulgent chuckle followed."Don't be so spoiled. As long as you don't make a scene in front of Olivia, whatever she has, I'll give you."I felt
