Chapter 52Sara did not talk to her after that and Hayley did not bother the girl, understanding that she must already be feeling like she was betraying her boss by talking to her outside work.But her curiosity was piqued even further by Sara's sudden change and tried to understand why the girl acted that way. Had she sworn an oath of secrecy to Alex?Hayley dragged her feet back to her room quietly, taking with her a bowl of Sara's freshly baked cookies. When she picked her phone and after talking to her mother for a few minutes, Hayley contemplated calling Logan to apologize but she decided against it. If Logan's anger for her fades, he would call her to apologize for even losing his temper her in the first place, at least that was how she remembered their friendship to beSo with that thought, Hayley dropped her phone and resolved to watch movies. But to her dismay, the first movie that came up when she turned on the television was Ursula's movie where she was playing a loyal love

Chapter 54"Let's go." Alex told Arnold as he reached the parlor. Arnold, who understood that his boss was angry because he had overheard their raised voices from his own room, quickly followed him outside. Gently, he snatched the car keys from his hand because well, Alex hated driving and the few times he did, it never went well. And if anything made him drive in that mood, Arnold was sure that disaster would follow. And anyone who would be unlucky enough to stand in his way would have himself to blame for it. Like the last time, when he had driven with Hayley and according to him, a man called him a spoiled brat who took his parents car and went on a road rampage. He had said nothing to the fellow at the time, only managed to snap the vehicle plate number and when he brought it to the office, he ordered that Arnold should make sure the man's license was seized and he must be made to understand who did it.Up till today, that unlucky fellow was still coming to the office to apolog

Chapter 56Apart from the hurt she felt in her chest, there was also the nagging feeling in her guts that Logan was in danger. There was no way she could call him to warn him, and she had exhausted every possible means of talking to Alex. He wouldn't even pick her calls or respond to her texts. Hayley sighed and got out of the bed, she took a quick shower, hoping to feel refreshed and wishing that her head would clear just enough to let her think well. But even when she got out of the shower, her heart was skipping several beats each time she remembered Alex's words. He didn't trust her, and she honestly couldn't blame him for that. What reason had she given him? On second thoughts, she shook her head, everyone certainly had secrets, and he of all people should understand that more than anyone. He wouldn't understand that Logan was just a friend, the same reason he hadn't told Logan about him in the first place. Both men misunderstood their places in her lives.No, it was different

Chapter 58Alex twirled his pen between his fingers as he stared at the papers in front of him, but he could not even make out the words there. He drummed his fingers on the table in pure agitation, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the door. When it finally opened, he was beyond relieved to see Ursula stroll into the room. She was heavily adorned with makeup, beautiful, if he was to admit. And for the first time in a long while, he had to admit he was happy to see her. "You came." He said, flashing her a welcoming smile. She did not return his smile, but she walked to the seat opposite his, "I mean, when you suddenly get an invite from your husband, who has been ghosting you for days, see if you don't get too curious to know why." "Ghost you, really?" He shook his head, "That's a big way to put it, babe." "Babe!" Her beautiful eyes rounded in surprise, "When was the last time you called me that? Hm, whatever you want must be really important to have you swooning like this."

Chapter 60 Cole met Alex and Arnold at the location they had sent to him. Before long, they were all in front of an apartment they hoped to be the one they were looking for. "The both of you should check around. I've shared her location to your phone. If you see anything, just bring her back and call me. Nothing must happen to her." Alex ordered as they parked in front of the building. But he was the first to jump down from the car, ignoring Arnold's warning that told him not to go in alone. He held the phone in one hand just to be sure he did not have the wrong address. "Arnold, go with Cole, I can trust you to find her. I'll handle Logan."The tracker showed she was in the vicinity, but it had stopped reading but he knew exactly which building to check. Thanks to her old phone, he got the exact address of Logan, through their previous text messages and he needed no telling that he had found his blackmailer. Just to use courtesy, Alex knocked on the door furiously, more like poun
