All Chapters of Billionaire Scandal: My Stepsister's Husband Wants Me : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alexander’s POVThe engine roared as I pushed the Lamborghini well past the speed limit, my hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. Despite countless trails,the apartment building’s security line kept ringing endlessly but with no answer. I called the number of the gate keeper but it kept ringing without him picking up. Margaret's number was completely switched off and that's what's scared me the most “Pick up, damn it,” I growled under my breath after I dialed the security one more time and it ended with a response.After various further failed attempts,I decided it was high time I invited the authorities despite the fact that it might hurt Laura. Well she made her bed and so shall she lie on it. As luck would have it,Chief Haland,the Lintertown police chief who was a close acquaintance answered almost immediately, his voice gruff and tired.“Mr.Martinez? It’s late. What’s going on?”“There’s an ongoing robbery at my apartment building,” I replied.” Pl

Margaret’s POV“No,” I said immediately, my voice erasing the heavy shock on the face of everyone at the breakfast table. “I’m not going with you Alexander. Even if you decide to drag me there,I would rather you pull my hands right off before I followed you.”The words hung in the air like a challenge and for a split second, everyone froze. Vivian’s eyes narrowed dangerously while Laura’s face twisted into a cruel, satisfied smirk.“See?” Laura said, her voice dripping with venom as she looked at Alexander. “The whore doesn’t even want to go with you. How pathetic. She’s probably hoping you’ll beg her like the desperate little slut she is.”Alexander’s expression darkened as he set his cup down with a sharp click. “That’s enough, Laura.”But Laura wasn’t done. She stood up slowly, pushing her chair back with a screech. “And so what? Do you want to hit me again, Alexander? Go ahead. Show everyone what kind of man you really are.”And with that,the argument exploded.“You think you can

Margaret’s POV“You’ll have to also promise not to ever contact any of us again.including your dad”Vivian added with a smirk.I stared at her,then Laura, stunned into silence for a long moment while her demand hung in the air like a guillotine blade. How do they expect me to quit my job at Kessler & Hale,my career, independence and the one thing I had helped pull me through in the years of me escaping this family’s shadow, in exchange for just a place to stay.“No,” I said firmly despite the sharp pain in my chest. “I know I wronged you, Laura. No one needs to tell me that what happened on your wedding night was unforgivable, and I carry that guilt every single day. But I won’t let you or Vivian control my career. I worked too hard to get where I am so I won’t quit because you want your ego to be suited.”Laura’s eyes raved with fresh anger. She stepped closer, her facial expression a mix of disdain and cruelty. “You think you have a choice? I don't know why I'm surprised you're sa

Margaret's povI watched Alexander and Sam, friends who turned rivals in high school,exchanging pleasantries as if they were buddies. That didn't deceive me anyway.Knowing the ego that these two possess,this little meet and greet is definitely going to end badly.“Sam,it's been quite a long time. What brings you here?”he asked,all smiles.Sam finally let go of the handshake between himself and Alexander which seemed rather forced. “Nothing much Alex.I was just catching up with Margaret about a case I would like for her to handle for me.”I prayed that Alexander would leave but he didn’t. Rather, he closed the door behind him and walked over to the table, pulled out a chair,sat down and crossed his arms like the self absorbed narcist he was.“A case? Interesting. I hope you don't mind me sitting in on the briefing?. Besides I'm still the managing partner of this firm, ain't I?”My heart skipped a bit instantly.Taming two highschool footfall jocks was not on my to do list today“That w

Margaret’s POV I wanted to deny it. To prove Alexander wrong by insisting that I didn't know Sam had a crush on me in highschool but I would only be lying to myself but for the purpose of my sanity,I was not going to indulge or address whatever feelings he has until I find a way to break out of Alexander's shackles. “I get you want to help Sam but it's bad enough you're helping me find a place let alone giving me this whole duplex for free. I cannot imagine the level of wrath Alexander will unleash if he learns about this” I said reluctantly,still fighting every urge to accept this gift without fear for what Alexander might do. Sam moved his hands from my cheeks to my shoulders and caressed them in an attempt to call me down.“I don't know why you're still scared of Alexander Margare. He’s married now and he is only your boss and doesn't own you. It's high time you stood up to him and end this miserable cycle he always puts in.” The warmth of his touch and the honesty that exuded fr
