Semua Bab Forsaken Daughter Turns the Game Upside Down: Bab 181 - Bab 190

Ever since John had shown up at their house, Alexandra hadn't been able to stop thinking about her relationship with Roger. The thought of being separated from him tore her apart-she loved him too much. She had even given Roger the most precious part of herself, something she had guarded for so long, all in the name of love.She refused to let John dictate her life. No matter how much money he offered, she prayed her mother wouldn't give in to his demand that they leave the city.But weighed down by the shocking truth-that John was her biological father-Alexandra found herself venting her frustration the only way she knew how: through food. Her appetite had grown unexpectedly ravenous, and she'd also been plagued by frequent headaches. That afternoon, she stopped by the pharmacy to pick up some painkillers.When she returned home and pushed open the front door, Elisa looked up from the kitchen."You're home earlier than usual, Alexa," her mother said, surprised."Yeah, Mom. There was

Joshua finally arrived at the apartment after a busy morning coordinating with the wedding organizer for tomorrow's big day. His face glowed with happiness. After all, who wouldn't be joyful knowing they were about to spend a lifetime with the one they loved?Elisa had been waiting for her soon-to-be son-in-law. A fine breakfast spread was already set on the dining table, prepared with great care just for him."Where's Alexandra, Ma'am?" Joshua asked as he stepped inside."She's still in her room. While waiting for her to get ready, let's eat first," Elisa said warmly."Shouldn't we wait for Alexandra?" he asked politely."No need. She'll join us later," Elisa reassured him.Joshua smiled faintly and followed her to the dining table. His eyes widened at the dishes-they all looked so delicious.Elisa even pulled out a chair for him, which made Joshua feel a little uncomfortable being treated so kindly. "Thank you, Ma'am.""Oh, it's nothing. Forgive me if the food is simple," Elisa repl

After weeks of hearing nothing from Alexandra, Roger’s state of mind had completely unraveled. He was like a man on the verge of madness. He’d tried every possible way to track her down, but all of it ended in failure.Work no longer held his focus. Every day was spent chasing shadows, combing through places where she might have been.“Arrrghhh!” he roared, clawing both hands through his hair.Knock! Knock! Knock!“Come in!” he barked, his tone sharp and impatient.“Excuse us, sir,” two men in black jackets stepped inside.“Well?” Roger snapped, glaring at them.“We still haven’t found Miss Alexandra,” one of them answered carefully.Smack! Smack!Roger lashed out, striking his men across the face. His rage boiled over. “Useless! You had one job—find Alexandra and tell me where she is!” he shouted.The two men hung their heads in silence, knowing even a single word could trigger another explosion.“Bring more people. Search the entire country if you have to. Fail me again, and I swear

One hour and fifty minutes later, Roger landed in Australia.Exhaustion pulled at him, but his resolve was stronger. As he stepped through the bustling terminal, his eyes searched the crowd for the contact he'd been promised. He hated waiting. Even the short flight had felt unbearable-two hours of torment, two hours of imagining what Alexandra might say... or worse, what she wouldn't.Finally, a sleek black car pulled up. Roger didn't wait for introductions-he yanked the door open and slid inside, irritation etched across his face.The driver began, "I'll be taking you directly to the address where-""Just drive!" Roger barked, slamming back into the seat. "No small talk. I've waited long enough."The car surged forward, but Roger's chest still felt tight, suffocating. Questions circled his mind like vultures. Why Joshua? Why so suddenly? Why without telling me? His fists clenched against his knees. He would have his answers-he had to.Minutes later, the car slowed to a stop in front

Paris had always been Alexandra's dream city since she was a little girl. Back then, she often imagined herself walking its streets and visiting its world-famous landmarks.Now, that childhood dream had come true. She was living in Paris with her husband Joshua, and Elisa."Do you like it here?" Joshua asked one afternoon.They were strolling around the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, one of the monuments Alexandra had always wanted to see. Since Joshua happened to have free time that day, he had taken her there. Built between 1806 and 1836, the Arc de Triomphe stood proudly at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées."I love it here," Alexandra replied. "There are so many beautiful places to visit. Ever since I was a child, I've dreamed of coming to Paris. But now... now I actually get to live here."Joshua smiled warmly. He was glad to see her slowly opening up. At first, she had only spoken to him when necessary, but now she was beginning to sha
