MY MAN

(ALEXA'S POV)I froze, completely frozen by either shock or excitement. He bent down and scooped Klaus into his arms. Standing there together, they looked like carbon copies of one another, the more Klaus grew the more he resembled his father."Kind gentleman," Klaus said, his voice full of innocent confidence. "I woke up really early this morning to bake these cookies so you could forgive Mum." A nearby maid quickly took the tin from his small hands."Really,” he said teasingly. “Then come inside, let's see if they are as sweet as you," his voice was both kind and doting.Tears welled in my eyes, it was really him."What is wrong?" he asked as soon as he saw my tears. He set Klaus down on the floor, and turned to check on me. I threw myself in his arms and I buried my face in his neck, sobbing uncontrollably as his arms instinctively wrapped around me. The warm, familiar scent of him filled my senses and I cried even more."What is wrong, lady?" He glanced past me toward Grandma and

AN ART AUCTION

(ALEXA'S POV)"Are you really going?" Rachel turned to me, her eyes wide with shock."Yes, I am," I said, my voice calm and steady."But this auction is for a worthless nobody," she pleaded, reaching out to grab my arm. "His art is good, but it has never been displayed anywhere. Buying the whole collection is a complete waste of money. Just buy one piece if you like it so much.""She is right," Adal added beside me. He and Princess Rania had rushed over the moment they learned I found Luke. But Hathaway had blocked all access to him, so I had dragged them both to this auction instead.The steward cleared his throat, looking at me with disbelief and caution. "Miss Alexa Jones, are you absolutely sure you want to buy the entire art collection?""I am," I said boldly, pulling my card out of my wallet.The room instantly erupted into whispers."Is she insane?" a man in the back muttered."Let her be insane if she wants," a woman replied. "She has enough money to fund whatever she pleases.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE YEARS

(ALEXA'S POV)The restaurant was just as calm and quiet as I remembered it. Across the table, Rachel sat silently, with Adal and Rania beside her.Adal suddenly slammed his hand down, his voice cracking. "It is him," he exclaimed, as silent tears rolled down his face. "It is really him. He had a mask on, but I would never mistake that bastard.” Rania quickly leaned over, wrapping her arms around him as she comforted him."Tell me what happened," Adal demanded, his voice trembling."How I wish we knew," I replied, whipping a hand over my face. "There is nothing on the Televin family that is out of hand. They have two children, Hathaway Televin and Scott Televin. Their mother died young, and their father never remarried.” I paused, watching their reactions before continuing. "The lady next door took care of their daily needs alongside their father. She had a son, Adolf, and two years ago, Adolf was in an accident. Hathaway canceled her sponsorship abroad to take care of him and nurse

THE EMPTY ACHIEVES OF LUKE HUNTERS

(LUKE'S POV)I followed the digital map coordinates she had sent, did my research and all I could get on Alexa Jones was that she was Alexa Jones. The internet had been scrubbed clean and any trace of her had vanished, leaving behind only professional credentials and vague and a few ties to the Hales Group. I had even visited Hales Group offices myself, most of the staff present recognized her name like a distant memory, but were unable to offer even a single useful clue.She was the silent celebrity, someone who had retreated completely from the spotlight that only their name and a little of their past remained.I had managed to dig up one buried video. It was about a scandal involving her brother, who was arrested for fraud, murder, embezzlement and was mysteriously released just three days later with all cases dismissed. Attached to that case, I had also got a few old photographs, including one of the man named Luke Hunters. Digging about Luke had been also nearly impossible, mos
