All Chapters of Her Face, My Wife's Shadow : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Alexander's POV “Mr Sterling, please... It's not their fault. It was my decision.”“And that your decision of yours will keep putting other people into trouble.”“I couldn't think straight. The only thought I had was to save you.”“Then is this how to save me? By being captured.”“But I still saved myself. Didn't you see how I taught that guy a lesson?" “There is no point talking to you.”The vehicles arrived as Franco and the rest came down."Sir..." “Let's go home, Aria.”I wasn't in the mood to talk to them. “Sir, we're sorry; we tried our best to stop Mrs Sterling, but she was so determined to meet you.”“Did I ask you anything?” “No sir.” They lowered their heads. “We'll settle this at home; let's go. It is no longer safe here.” Williams climbed into one of the vehicles with the guards, while I opened the passenger door of another vehicle for

Aria's POV The next morning, the cafe was filled with the pleasant aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries. Mila, Lucy and Joy sat around the table with me as their laughter filled the space. “Really?” Mila burst out laughing. “I wish I could have seen the old woman's face yesterday.”Joy covered her mouth, trying to suppress another laugh. “No wonder the whole company was buzzing with gossip.” “And everyone was praising Isabella,” Lucy added. Their voices faded into the background. I stared down at my untouched cup of coffee. I couldn't hear them properly anymore. All I could think of was the chaos that happened last night: the gunshots, David, and a lot of questions running through my mind. What is the connection between Isabella and the Boss? Why is he so interested in her? And who is this David? And…I recalled the strange man I met the day I was trying to escape to the airport. The way he extended his gloved hand, offering it to me like a dark invitation. “Isabella

The wounded leader collapsed onto the grass after running for thirty-five minutes. His breathing came in ragged bursts. He pressed his palm against his shoulder, but blood continued to seep between his fingers. He looked around as sweat covered his forehead and neck, soaking his shirt. He noticed there were no buildings or people around, only tall grass, scattered trees, and a dirt path disappearing into the distance. He was relieved he managed to escape again after weeks of being a hostage without a trap. However, he never knew he had walked into an even bigger trap. His hand trembled as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the phone he’d stolen during his escape. He switched on the device and went to the dial center. After inputting the number, he put the call on speaker. He was too weak to hold it to his ear. The phone rang three times before someone answered. “Hello, Sir…. It's me, Tom. I need to speak with the Boss. Please, I need his help. I'm in serious trouble.”“Whe

Alexander's POV“How dare you come to my house?” Mrs Ava Grey’s voice cracked through the air the moment she opened the front door and found me standing on the doorstep. She didn't bother hiding her displeasure. Her fingers tightened around the edge of the door as she stared at me with open hostility. “Grandma,” Avie appeared behind her after hearing the commotion. She rubbed her eyes, feeling sleepy as curiosity had drawn her toward the entrance. “I'm trying to get some sleep. Who is…” The instant she saw me, she paused, her entire expression changed. “Alex?” Her eyes brightened as she hurried forward and wrapped her fingers around my arm.Seriously… I hated this. She's so irritating.“Alex, I'm glad you finally came here after all these years of refusing to set foot inside the Grey Mansion. Please come inside; let's welcome you properly.”I immediately pulled my arm free and straightened the lapel of my suit. My action wiped the smile from her face. “Mrs Ava Grey, it's nice to s

Aria's POV “Ma'am, you’ve been here for almost two hours.” The waiter’s gentle voice pulled me from my thoughts. “Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?”I faced her. “No, I'm fine with the coffee you brought. Thank you.”"Alright, Ma'am.”She collected the empty cup from a nearby table before heading to another group of customers. I absentmindedly turned my gaze toward the transparent glass to see Alexander's security men still outside. They had been standing beside the vehicles for nearly two hours.The poor men couldn't even complain.How could they? They weren't ready to see their heads on the floor.I felt a little pang of guilt for them. It's still my fault anyway; I'm the reason they're here. I raised my hand and summoned another waiter. “Excuse me.”“Yes, ma'am.”“Could you please prepare meals for those men outside?”She followed my gaze. “Of course, ma'am.”A few minutes later, several packed meals were carried outside. The guards exchanged surprised glances. When
