"Good morning." Alex greeted the love of his life the next day after the wedding. Immediately, her eyes fluttered open. Juliet stretched, and a warm smile appeared on her face as she snuggled close to him. "What was it you gave them as a wedding gift... I wanted to ask you yesterday but couldn't because of the reception, " Juliet asked. After the wedding, they all had a small party at Charlie's bar and it was fun, Alex had given the couple an envelope as a wedding gift and Juliet had been curious to know what was inside, but had decided to ask when they got back home, but when they returned home they had been too tired and had just gone straight to bed. Juliet tilted her hand to look at him, and Alex planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "Let's just say something for their honeymoon," He replied and didn't add what his second gift entailed. He was planning on making a big investment in Charlie's company and thought it was the right time to give it to him. They would already be on their

"Joy, is that you?" Juliet said when she immediately recognised her voice. Her heart started to race as she waited for joy to say something else, but the call just ended up getting disconnected like always... Juliet didn't waste a single second and called the number right back... she started to pace back and forth in her room as she waited for the call to be answered, but it kept ringing and ringing, and she didn't get an answer. She called the number once again, and the same thing happened, no answer... Juliet started to get worried now. She didn't have Daniel's number and couldn't call him to ask if everything was alright, so she left her room and headed straight downstairs to Alex's study to look for him... Juliet didn't bother to knock on the door like she always did and simply just let herself in... Alex's eyes immediately travelled to the door when she walked in... he dropped the file in his hand and stood up when he saw the worried look she had in her eyes... Alex immediately w

"Good morning, sir," Patrick greeted when Alex came into work that morning. Olivia was on sick leave, so he had too much work on his hands and had no choice but to leave their investigations all to Adam. He had only told him to call if something important came up. "Good morning Patrick, and where is Olivia?" Alex asked. "She caught a cold while we were out yesterday, and I told her to stay home and rest", Patrick explained, and his eyes grew slightly wide when he realised what he had said; it took Alex a few seconds, and he finally realised it too as he was about to walk into his office. His hand dropped from the door, and he turned to look at Patrick and squinted his eyes at his assistant. "You and her were out at night together," Alex said, and Patrick opened his mouth to think of a lie or perhaps an excuse, but his mind couldn't think of anything... Alex stood there and started to put all the dots together. They always left for their lunch break together, and they seemed to be more

Joy rushed outside the house and headed straight for the garage. She didn't stop for anything and was determined not to waste the precious time she had to escape because she had no idea when Daniel would return from work. This was the plan she had... she started the car engine and pressed on the brake instead of the accelerator because of how nervous she was and probably because she hadn't driven a car in years... she sat there in the car trying to catch her breath, her hand gripping onto the steering, a cold sweat on her forehead. "I can do this" Joy started to mutter, her eyes started to Scan what she needed to know to drive and after studying for just a few seconds she started the car and drove right out of the estate... as the Estate slowly started to fade away and disappeared from her view... a feeling that joy hadn't felt in years started to overshadow and overwhelm her and her eyes became blurred with tears... "I did it!" she said in a low voice... "I freaking did it!" she said

Alex stood there, frozen in his tracks as he stood behind Joy and Juliet, listening to everything that Joy was telling Juliet, and for some reason, he didn't think it was real. He didn't think he was hearing right... everything was at a standstill for him... He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He wanted this all to be a bad dream but he knew it was real and not a bad dream... Everything Joy was saying was real... "How...how could that be..." Alex finally found his voice, and Juliet turned and gasped when she saw Alex standing behind them. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Alex... Juliet and Joy immediately stood up, and Juliet rushed to Alex's side... she wanted to tell him that it wasn't true and it was all a lie, but she couldn't. How could she when it was the whole truth... the truth that he had been searching for for so long... he was finally hearing it, but he wanted it to be a lie... "Alex!" Juliet muttered his name softly as tears left her eyes. She didn't e
