last update Last Updated: 2025-09-12 23:41:54

Annalyn’s POV

Alex stopped right beside Lana, his towering frame making her shrink for just a second. I noticed her fists ball up at her sides, as though she was holding back the urge to lash out. She quickly released them, forcing a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

“Hi, Lexy… you’re back,” Lana said softly, her voice sugary sweet. She reached for him, trying to hug him.

But Alex jerked his arm away. His face was stone. “What are you doing in my house?”

“Alex…” Mrs. Quinn’s sharp tone cut through the air, but Alex didn’t spare her a glance.

“You being here, Mother, I can understand,” he said firmly, his voice steady but filled with restrained anger. “But her?” His glare sliced toward Lana. “So what the hell is she doing here?”

Lana shifted uncomfortably before pasting on another fake smile. “Uh… mum and I were going for venue hunting for our engagement party. We thought you might want to tag along.”

Alex scoffed, the sound cold, mocking. “Engagement party? You’re getting married, Lan

    Alex’s POVI sat on the sofa with my phone in hand as I watched the trending business news on channel 12 live feed. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see Anna and Nolan playing on the floor. Nolan’s laughter rang through the air, filling the house with warmth I didn’t think I’d ever hear again. My chest swelled, a smile tugging at my lips.This was what happiness felt like.Then my phone rang.It was my father.Anna glanced up, brow raised. I sighed and said, “Business. I’ll be quick.” She nodded, though her smile dimmed, and I walked toward my study.As soon as I sat in my chair, the caller ID flashed again. I answered on the second ring.“Dad?”His voice boomed so loud I had to pull the phone from my ear. “What the hell am I reading in my mail, Alex?”I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temple. “That’s my resignation as CEO.”“What the fuck, Alex!” he barked. “Who the hell asked you to resign?”I exhaled sharply, my patience running thin. “Your wife did. I figured she’d force

    Annalyn’s POVMy body felt so light as my senses came to life..I could feel my head resting on a rock-hard chest. The warmth, the rise and fall of steady breathing, the faint beat beneath my ear was a rhythm I could get used to for the rest of my life.I know who owns that sweet scent..AlexMy AlexThe man who had swept me off my feet beyond what I had ever imagined.My eyes opened to the classy demure environment of his room. My fingers traced along his chest, caressing gently, and my eyes wandered to his face. Even in sleep, Alex radiated power and calm. My lips curved into a smile, my heart full as I leaned in and placed a soft peck on his lips.I tried to slip out of bed, careful not to wake him, but before I could move far, a strong hand shot out and gripped my arm.With one tug, I slammed back into Alex’s chest. He groaned softly, his voice hoarse with sleep. “Where are you sneaking off to?”I laughed quietly. “I was just going to check on Nolan.”Alex pouted, his lips curling

    Annalyn’s POVI froze. My lips still tingled from his kiss, my body still pressed to his chest, when Alex’s words crashed over me.“Then marry me.”For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. Did he really just…? My heart skipped, then raced wildly like it wanted to break free from my chest.I stared at him, my mouth opening but no sound coming out. Alex’s eyes didn’t waver. They burned into mine, dark, steady, raw.Before I could gather my thoughts, he spoke again, voice low but urgent. “I may not have the ring now, but I promise I’ll get it by morning. Just say yes, Anna. Just say yes to me.”Tears prickled at my eyes. Not the tears of fear I had cried these past weeks, but the kind that came from something overwhelming… something so beautiful it hurt. A smile tugged at my lips even as my vision blurred.I quickly wiped at my eyes with my index finger, pretending it was nothing. “You know you shouldn’t propose without a ring,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “It’s bad luck.”I placed my hand o

    Alex’s POV“Anna??”The name slipped from my mouth like a ghost, almost unbelieving. I stood halfway up the stairs, staring down at her silhouette in the dim light of the hallway. My heart lurched, but my head spun too much from the alcohol. She didn’t move. She didn’t say a word.I exhaled sharply, rubbed my forehead with one hand, and whispered under my breath, “Am I that drunk now? Hallucinating her face? Seeing her everywhere?”I turned, trying to force my legs to climb the rest of the stairs, but her voice followed me.“Who says you’re hallucinating?”My feet froze. Slowly, I turned back around, and this time she had moved. She was walking toward me, her small steps echoing off the marble, her eyes sharp and unreadable. When she stopped right in front of me, she wrinkled her nose and pinched it between two fingers.“Really?” she said, her voice laced with irritation. “You went drinking? You didn’t even bother to look for me?”For a brief moment, the corner of my lips curved up. A

    Alex’s POVMy hands gripped the steering wheel so hard that the leather cut into my palms. Sweat dampened the back of my neck even though the AC blasted at full power. I’d been driving around Kancun for hours, like a madman chasing ghosts.Anna.Her face kept flashing in my mind. Her tears. Her silence. The way she looked at me last night before I stormed out.I had gone to Rissa’s place earlier. She stood at her doorway, arms folded across her chest, her brows furrowed.“Don’t look at me like that, Alex,” she said in a clipped tone. “If Anna was here, I’d tell you. But she isn’t. If she comes to me, I’ll call you.”Her words gave me nothing, only tightened the noose of panic around my throat.Now I am back to driving aimlessly through the city with no idea where to look. My chest hurt with every breath, and my head felt like it was splitting apart.I couldn’t go to her mother. She’d freak out. She’d find out everything that’s happened so far and would never forgive me. She’d never le
