Alex pov“This better be something worth my time, what’s the problem.” I growled stepping out of my office to the hallway glancing longingly at Ethan still sprawled on the couch before shutting the door. This better be worth stopping what I was doing.There was a pause “Dominic knows.”I stopped mid-step. The fury hit me so fast it stole my breath. “Knows what?”“That it was you who sent the pictures,” Mike said carefully. “His father is pulling strings. People are being questioned. Money is changing hands. He’s offering rewards for anyone who talks and can give him anything bad on you. I think some of our acquaintance are already talking. They are trying to contain the news before it gets out”My jaw tightened until it hurt. “That’s impossible. You buried the trail. How the hell did he find out?”“We don’t know yet,” Mike admitted. His voice dipped lower, as if bracing for my temper. “Unless…”“Unless what?”“Unless he has someone inside, feeding him.” A pause. Then, softer, “Maybe E

“Whatever Alex told you are all lies. All of it is fabricated. That’s what he does, he fabricates things, manipulates people. You know how powerful he is.” Dominic’s hand twitched against the table. “He’s obsessed with you, Ethan. Obsessed. That’s why he’s doing this.”I stared at him, my chest pounding. “So those documents, those videos that was all fake? You expect me to believe that?”“Yes!” Dominic insisted. His voice was rising now, desperation leaking through. “Yes, because I would never—”“You would never what?” I snapped. My voice echoed louder than I meant it to. “Never exploit children? Never traffic them like numbers on a spreadsheet? Never destroy lives while smiling for cameras? Tell me, Dominic. Look me in the eye and tell me it’s fake.”He shook his head violently. “No, Ethan, listen to me. That’s not the whole story. People are trying to frame me, twist things, you don’t understand—”“Don’t,” I cut in, my voice rising. “Don’t make me the fool here. I looked into your f

AlexThe Warehouse was quiet when I got there, the kind of quiet that made your ears ring. Mike and Sebastian pushed the two men through the door. They tripped on the wet floor, their hands were tied and their faces were bruised from the ride. They were breathing hard and looked scared.I stood in the center of the empty warehouse letting the feeling of the place sink in. The walls smelled like rust and wet concrete, it was the perfect place where I handle businesses like this. My stomach was calm, my heart wasn't racing. This wasn't about anger or anything like that, It was just business. I stood tall, looking cold and untouchable, that's how I had to be. In this world, if you showed weakness, you were asking for trouble. If you were kind, people would take advantage of you. Guys like me couldn't be soft. If I wanted to stay on top, if I wanted my business to stay mine, I had to be feared.Still, when I looked at them kneeling in front of me, my stomach turned in a way I wouldn't sho

Ethan’s povI woke up to silence. The spot next to me was cold and empty. I reached out, but Alex wasn't there. It was like he had been gone for hours, he probably left in the middle of the night knowing how much he detests sleeping in the same bed with me. I just lay there, looking up, thinking about last night. I remembered how he looked when he opened the door, for a moment I saw something in his eyes….something I have never seen before. I was so surprised when he felled on me, his head on my shoulder, his breathing so uneven. For a moment, the Alex I knew, the tough billionaire had opened up and showed me a part of him I haven’t seen before. Now he was probably closed off again, like it never happened. I got out of bed. The sun was up high and shining through the glass windows. I went to the dining table for breakfast, a servant…….Jason was laying out some eggs and bacon on the table. I have gotten to know some of their names because I have not gotten comfortable addressing them

Ethan’s povI sat in the restaurant, fork in the air, watching the steam from my food rise. My mind was blank. The soft lighting in the restaurant made everything seem simpler than it was. My father sat across from me with Claudia by his side. She had that smile on her face I hated, like we share a secret. Funny how I hadn’t given her a second thought since I got back with Alex……hopefully she had come to her senses and gotten over the weird attraction she has for me. Her hand moved close to mine on the table, her fingers tracing the wood, when I looked towards her she winked at me……..shit.Dad's suit fit him perfectly, like power as always. We had left the hospital a while ago and he suggested going to the restaurant to talk more. I was still numb from processing the decision I had to make so I just followed him to the restaurant where Claudia was already waiting for us wearing a very provocative red dress with the sweetest smile on her face. I looked at both of them sitting there…….w
