Alexander’s POVWhen Alan mentioned he wanted to tell me something about my parents' accident, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth. I had a very bad feeling about this accident."Have you found anything?" I asked."Yes. We discovered which police officer Johnson paid off. With his name, it was easy for Marcus Paul to investigate and find out he's corrupt. He lives very well in an excellent house in a high-end gated community, has three imported cars in his garage, his kids attend top private schools, and his wife is a shopping mall rat. He receives a lot of illegal money but doesn't know how to hide it and can't live modestly. We found out he's even on a drug dealer's payroll. With all the information and evidence, I went to a friend who works in Internal Affairs, and he opened an investigation against the officer and managed to reopen the inquiry into your parents' accident. It's under wraps though, with a very small team, which makes the investigation slower. However, they've already d

Alexander’s POVFor the past two nights, I've had nightmares about Caroline in a wedding dress. Good heavens, it was terrifying. I've learned that things can always get worse. I hadn't slept well, was tired and sleepy. I decided to go to the break room to get some coffee and chat with Rick and Patrick to see if it would wake me up. I called them both, and we went for coffee.When I left Rick's office, Catherine rushed out of her office. She was extremely pale. I watched as Samantha went after her. I wanted to check on her, but Rick held me back."Let Sam check on her, Alexander," Rick told me. "The girls think she has a nervous ulcer from all the stress she's going through.""Yeah, it hasn't been easy for her," Patrick added. "And not for you either, brother. What's with those dark circles?""Man, I haven't been able to sleep for the past two nights. Every time I close my eyes, I see that image of Caroline in a wedding dress. It's haunting me," I replied, walking toward the break room.

Alexander’s POVWe arrived in New York and immediately had our first meeting with the clients. They gave us a briefing of what they wanted and requested some information. We scheduled a golf game for the next morning. Rick was supposed to contact Catherine and get all the information we needed at that moment.That night, we decided to go to a bar to unwind a bit. While we were chatting, I felt a hand touch my shoulder, and a sensual voice I hadn't heard in a long time whispered in my ear."You're even more handsome now."I turned around, already knowing who I'd see. She was stunning, with black hair cut in an elegant bob, a slim figure, tall, and with more prominent breasts than I remembered - apparently, she'd gotten implants."Liz! It's been so many years. How are you?" I greeted her with a kiss on the cheek."I'm good, darling. I must confess, it's a pleasant surprise to find you here. What brings you to New York?""Work. And you? Weren't you in Rome?""Yes, but that idiot painter l

Alexander’s POV"Caroline, are you home?" I asked as soon as that unbearable woman answered the phone. "I want to take you out."I almost went deaf from the scream that abominable creature let out. Of course, she was more than happy with the idea of going out with me. Knowing this, I took the opportunity to put my plan into action. I was already at her door and would take her for a "walk" without saying where, and I'd take her to the hospital. If she refused, I would call the lawyer and he would pressure her, but she wouldn't leave that hospital without doing the tests. It was perfect because Patrick had already confirmed that Johnson was at the club, so I could make my move without interference.It didn't take long before Satan's cheerleader came out of the house skipping, wearing a white dress and pink boots. My God, how ridiculous. When she approached, I told her to get in the car."Sweetieee, I'm sooo excited! Where are you taking me, tell me." She started speaking in that unbearab

Patrick’s POVI found it so strange that Catherine had an issue with my perfume, she'd told me several times before that my perfume was delicious. I think she's very sensitive right now, and rightfully so - she's suffering a lot. I had Alexander buy her the cake, he loves doing these little treats for Cat.I spent the rest of the morning at the club with a client. We had scheduled a tennis match and planned to have lunch together afterward to discuss some details of our business relationship. But my client had an unexpected situation and had to leave early. Since I had time to spare, I decided to go to the spa for a massage.I was heading to the spa, which is a bit further away from the sports courts in the middle of what's like a small grove full of trees, very peaceful and quiet when I heard a voice I knew very well. I took a look, and though she didn't see me, Caroline was having a heated argument with Bruno Hill. He was probably complaining because she was getting married, that idi
