RUBBY'S POV

The drive back to my parents' home was too quiet.

Neither Mom nor Dad had said anything yet.

Mom sat beside me in the back seat while Dad drove with a kind of calm exterior I had never seen.

The moment we stepped inside the house, and the door clicked shut behind us, I turned sharply to my parents.

"What was that for? Does anyone care to explain to me what just happened? "Why did you drag me away like that? Was it that urgent that it couldn't wait?"

They both didn't say a word till they had made themselves comfortable on the couch.

"Baby, come sit," Dad muttered, patting the space beside him.

I sat and crossed my arms. The next question that followed got me confused.

"How well do you know this Annie of a girl?"

I blinked.

"Not too well."

Mom exhaled sharply. "What's your relationship with Josh?"

Again I blinked, completely stunned. "Why are you asking me that?"

"Baby girl, answer me first."

I frowned. "I don't have anything to do with Josh. He is Alexander's stepbrother,

    JOSH'S POV The moment I dropped Rubby's call, I pulled into the hospital's building.I needed to get to the root of the matter, and I believed that Alex could sort it out for himself.But then I wondered, what business does Annie have with my mother? And what did it have to do with Mirabelle?"One of you will stay here; one of you will come with me," I ordered the men.I did that to be sure that no one mounts a tracker in my car.Inside the hospital, I was referred to the doctor's office, who, after I told him the reason I came, looked very confused."I didn't make such a call," he muttered.Of course I knew, but I needed to see those who made the call."Was the body moved then?" I asked while carefully scanning the office."I don't think so," he muttered."Well, I think so," I countered. "If they were able to come into this office and go through confidential files, then they might have access to the body. Please check."He nodded in response, and we followed him out.The body was st

    ANNIE'S POV I switched off his phone and dialled a number in mine."I have him. "Fulfil your own part of the deal.""Mommy," Micah screamed.I rushed out thinking something bad had happened to him."Mommy, I have a new heart. Now, can I use play now?"My eyes clouded as I remembered how I was able to pay for his transplant.It was the same Alexander who I was about to deliver into Emily's hand.Yes. You read that right.Emily had asked for Alex in exchange for her place in the Wolfe's company; to me, that meant revenge on my sister's killer."Yeah, you can play, but be gentle and don't leave your room no matter what, OK?" I responded gently and walked away, making sure to shut the door behind me.Emily could do nothing to Alex in person, which is why she sent a representative.I sat on the couch waiting for him. I didn't know what was keeping him long, but I hoped he would be back before Josh comes back or before Alex wakes up.I didn't know how long I had waited because I had dozed

    ANNIE'S POVI was tense.I was a bag of secrets, but what could I have done? Watch as my sister's killer goes scot-free. All for what? A transfer of ownership?When Mrs Laura brought me back to the Wolfe's mansion, I knew my time had come. What Mirabelle didn't get, I will get and then I will crush each and every one of them that, one way or the other, had a hand in her death.But my son's life was in danger.I needed the money to get him another heart, so I danced to her tune while singing to Emily's drum.I had it all planned out.It was a simple plan, though it escalated really quickly, leaving me heartbroken sometimes.When Alex finally sorted the bills for my child, I began to withdraw. I no longer wanted revenge, but then Emily came with a bigger offer, at the expense of her son.No, her dead son.She told me it was Kevin who killed Mirabelle, but I knew better; I had been on call with Mirabelle before she left to meet him.I had also seen the pictures and videos, the ones Josh

    RUBBY'S POV I held my phone close to my heart as if I could feel Alex's heart through it. I was getting scared.The last time he didn't pick up his call, he ended up with Annie.Now this?"What's going on?" I muttered.Every time I looked down at my phone and saw no missed calls or new messages from Alex, my chest hurt a little more.Mom sat watching me with concern written all over her face; Dad, on the other hand, had gone upstairs to make some calls, but I couldn't focus; my thoughts were running wild.I dialled again and again, yet got voicemail."God help me, please," I muttered and clutched the phone tighter to my chest."Rubby," my mom whispered, "you need to sit and breathe. "Look at you; you are shaking, and you know what condition you are in now."I tilted my head and blinked back tears. I couldn't break down, at least not yet.But my voice cracked as I spoke."Something is wrong, Mom; I can feel it. I.....""Baby, you did the right thing by telling Josh; I trust him to ha

    ALEXANDER'S POV I watched Emily walk away majestically as though she had not just ruined my entire day.What did she have to say?Why must my mom and the chairman be in attendance? What was she plotting?A final move?I kept my calm, and we carried on with the ceremony. Josh shot me the "what do we do?" look, and I shrugged my shoulders.One by one, the guests left until we were once again left by ourselves.The chairman was the first to break the silence."Emily will not come near my company again. There will be no board meeting whatsoever; she has absolutely nothing to say."I looked at Josh, but his face had no expression."What do you think?" I muttered."I know my mom. She does have a plan, and it isn't a good one. I will instruct the policemen not to let her move again. Whatever it is she wants to say, she should say it to me."Those were Josh's words, and it was final.The chairman seemed relieved, and I couldn't tell if he was being suspicious.Was there something he was hi
