ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD As soon as I let out those words, she glanced down, probably feeling embarrassed. “Please, you need to understand her. She didn’t mean to hide the truth from you. It’s just that… the circumstances didn’t allow her.”My fist instinctively clenched as I listened. “Victoria has been through a lot in the hands of that bastard, she got cheated on and raised his mistress son for two years. He was-“I cut in, my voice cold. “Which station is she detained at?”She instantly looked up, a relieved expression etched on her face. “Thank you, Mr. Blackwood. Thank you so much. I knew you would understand.”I nodded curtly. “You still haven’t mentioned the station name.”“I-I’m sorry. It’s the New York City Police Department (NYPD) headquarters.”“You can go home. I will handle the rest,” I said. She met my gaze, her lips parted slightly to protest. But after seeing the look on my face, she just nodded and left.•I stepped out of my car and walked into the station. The moment

VICTORIA HENSHAWHe didn’t stopped there. He continued to speak, his words cutting deep, and his expression twisting in disappointment. “I’m so disappointed in you. After all the nonsense you’ve done, you still feel you have the right to make a choice?” He asked, his tone astonishing. “Not only have you stole your sister’s man, you hurt her deeply too. And because of your silly, irresponsible action, we didn’t see her for good three years!”“Despite all of this, you still can’t earn a decent living to take care of us, nor have you had a child of your own. That boy worked so hard to build a career, and give you a better life, without complaining about your childlessness,”“And instead of being grateful, you behaved so recklessly and childishly, determined to ruin all his efforts by making him a laughing stock in front of the whole world? You think you can just wake up one day, decide to divorce him, and we’d accept that?”He shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain. “You’re noth

VICTORIA HENSHAW I stabbed the lettuce in front of me with my fork aggressively, my expression still frowning as I recounted the earlier encounter with Mason and Alexander. "Can you at least spare the innocent food?" Gwen asked, teasingly. Then, she burst into laughter again, nearly choking on her wine.I glared at her, feeling frustrated about the whole thing. "It's not funny, Gwen," I said, trying to sound firm. I had just finished telling her about what happened at the office, and she was having joy teasing me me about it.She shook her head, still chuckling. "Trust me, it is funny," she said. "Well, if you'll ask me, I would say maybe he's jealous or something." I rolled my eyes, shaking my head. "There's nothing like that in his book. He's just.... I don't know. Should I say, complicated?"Gwen leaned in, her expression turning curious as one of her brow arched up. "Just spill it. What's going on between you two?"I frowned again. "And what do you mean by that?""That's beca

VICTORIA HENSHAWThe team members from the Blackwood Empire and Alex gathered for the pre-race meeting with the Speed Star Company team.We were seated across from each other, in separate meeting room, and the only thing separating us was the transparent, glass door. The tension evident as we prepared to discuss the event details.I heard it was a standard procedure— for competitors to meet like this before the big event day. We were all eyeing for the top spot, after all. This is the biggest, national racing competition of the year, and one of these two companies would first at the end of the day. It's all over the news that the Speed Star Company has been topping over the past few years.But now, the Blackwood Empire has become not only their competitor, but their rival as we announced our aim of reaching the top three in the upcoming race. I tried to focus on the discussion, but my attention was diverted by a pair of eyes lingering on me from across the room... And also, in the
