CHAPTER 141AN ENEMY IN MY TERRITORY ALEXANDERI've never wished for something so much as I wished for this particular Victor to be any other Victor in the world but the one I know. It CANNOT just be THAT Victor. The name echoed in my head, bouncing off the walls of my skull and growing louder with each second. Victor Morel had sworn to destroy me and threatened to go after my daughter. What if the bastard had been with Camille all night long? Or maybe longer?Fuck!!! I'm fucked!!"Isabella." My voice came out rough as I swallowed, trying to control every thought in my head. "Did she say his last name?""No, she said she didn't care about his last name because he didn't care about hers. So it's just Victor." She stood, crossing to me, her hands palming my face. "Alexander, what's going on? Who is Victor?"Of course he didn't care about her last name, because he already knew it. I moved my face away from her hold, not wanting her to see the chaos happening inside my head, through m

CHAPTER 142A MARCH OF MADNESS ALEXANDERJust before Camille could hit the floor, I caught her. Her knees buckled, her body folding inward like a house of cards. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her against my chest. She was shaking, not from crying… at least not yet. She was just trembling, her breath coming in short rapid gasps."No," she kept saying. "No, no, no."Isabella stood beside us with her hand on Camille's back, her voice low and steady. "Breathe, Camille. Just breathe.""He wouldn't—he said he cared about me—he said—" Her words dissolved into a wheeze. She was beginning to hyperventilate as her chest heaved while her fingers clawed at my shirt."Camille, look at me." I cupped her face, forcing her to meet my eyes. "Breathe with me. In. Out. In. Out."She tried… failed… and tried again."That's it. Again."Slowly, the gasps softened and the trembling eased. She was still pale and fragile, but she was breathing."We need to get her to her room," Isabella said.Noddin

CHAPTER 143THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NARRATOR'S POV Elise knew the world was full of hypocritical humans, but she didn't expect this level of hypocrisy. To her, not one woman existed that still believed her, or at least believe the footage was doctored. In a flick of a finger, they turned their backs against her. Since the verdict of the trial, she hasn't found the balls to go back to the beach house, so she booked a hotel room. The hotel room was dark, the curtains drawn, and the only light was the glow from Elise's phone screen. And maybe the dim light of the bedside lamp. She sat on the edge of the bed, her lawyer across from her, his briefcase open on the small table between them. "The internet is out for you, Elise," he said, his voice coming out in low, careful sounds. "Your personal business is suffering and I've seen the comments. You're being called every name in the book.""I don't care about comments." Her voice came out sharper than she thought. "To hell with thei

CHAPTER 144SMIRKY STORMALEXANDERWhen I saw the smirk on Victor's face, something went off in my head. "You finally fixed the missing piece," he said, his voice dripping with mockery. "I expected you sooner, you're slower than I remember."I closed the door behind me, breathing so hard I was sure I could loose my mind."You used my daughter.""I took your daughter on a date. She's an adult, she made her own choices.""You knew who she was my daughter.""Of course I knew." He took a sip of whiskey. "I know everything about your family, Alexander. I've made it my business."Looking at him with that whiskey in his hand, I knew he was trying to get me out in public. Reacting would cause me something I'm not ready. So I kept it calm and curled my hands into fists. "Stay away from me and my family.""Or what? You'll ruin me again?" He set the glass down and walked toward me, his steps slow, deliberate. "You already did that, remember? Twenty years ago you took everything. My company, my

CHAPTER 145HEARTBEAT THROUGH THE ROOFISABELLAI stepped out of the bathroom with one towel twisted on top of my head and another one wrapped around my body. Droplets of water clung to my shoulders as I used the towel on my head to dry my hair. I was already thinking about what to wear, what to do with the rest of the day and how to avoid running into Julien again. When I saw him.He was sitting on the edge of my bed with his hands folded in his lap and his eyes fixed on me. What the fuck!!? How and when did this bastard get in!?I flinched the moment I noticed him, my hand flying to my chest.“What the fuck! Don't you have any other thing to do than to scare people in their own rooms!?"A soft smile stretched on his lips, one that was almost tender. “Sorry, baby, I didn't mean to.”I pulled the towel tighter around my body, without saying another word to him. Then he spoke again, standing up from where he was sitting."How are you doing?""Fine." The word came out just as fast as i

CHAPTER 146THE NIGHTMARES NEVER COME AN ENDALEXANDERAt the end of the day, I drove him in silence. My hands were gripping the steering wheel hard and my knuckles were white from it. I sat in my car in darkness when I got home, the engine off. I still almost couldn't believe Elise was free. That woman was working around without handcuffs?? A vermin like that?Mental health issues? PTSD? Trauma from the marriage?I laughed bitterly under my breath. That woman has never been traumatized a day in her life. She was THE trauma.I forced myself out of the car and into the house.I typed in the code to the front door and walked in. An empty and quiet hallway met me, the silence pressing against my ears like cotton.I climbed the stairs slowly with one thing in mind. I needed to speak to Camille. We didn't leave things on good terms, not since the trial. But right now, after Victor's damage, she needs me. The least I can do is be there. I was the one who failed to protect her. I stopped o

CHAPTER 147FINALLY… A BREAKING POINTISABELLAI stood in front of my mirror, towel-drying my hair, unable to stop smiling. Last night replayed in my head like a dream I didn't want to wake from. I didn't know I needed his dick inside me that much until he was buried deep inside me. That thick, veiny, meat.I caught my reflection smiling like an idiot and shook my head.Get it together, Izzy!I pulled on a sundress, something light and easy. I didn't bother with makeup, my cheeks were already flushed. I didn't need help looking like I was in love.I walked out of my room and almost collided with Camille.She was standing in the hallway, her hair brushed and her face was brighter than yesterday. I could still see the shadows under her eyes, but there was a genuine smile on her face. "Morning," she said."Morning." I smiled. "You look... good.""I feel less like garbage." She looped her arm through mine. "Come on., let's get breakfast before my mother shows up to the table and it ruin

CHAPTER 148MY FISTS LOOK GOOD IN REDALEXANDERThere's a specific colour you see when you've been holding back anger for as long as you could remember it and then something ticks you off and you explode. Yeah… that colour. I saw red.Not RED as in the metaphor or the figure of speech, the world around me literally disappeared. The kitchen, the light, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, all of it was gone, and all I could see was his rough grip on her arm with his fingers digging into her skin. The exact fucking way she was scared and trying to pull away. That was all I fucking saw!I don't remember crossing the room, all I remember was mu fist connecting with his miserable jaw. Followed by the satisfying crack of his bone and the angle his head turned. Julien staggered like the coward that he is, hitting the wall before he slumped to the floor. That should have been enough to satisfy the anger inside me and I should've stopped, but that anger was yet to be pacified

CHAPTER 149BLOWING OFF HALF TRUTHSISABELLAIt's over…I let out a long, shaky breath, one that didn't make me feel any better than I was already feeling. The kitchen was still after Alexander walked out. The only sound was the crash of the waves against the shore and the sound of Julien grunting from his injury. But my hands wouldn't stop shaking and my heart wouldn't stop pounding. Alexander's footsteps faded down the hallway as Camille rushed to Julien. "Oh my God, are you okay? Let me see your face—"She reached for him, but before she could fully touch his face, he shoved her hand away."Don't touch me. I'm fine.”"Julien, you're bleeding though. Are you sure you're fine?""Would you be okay if you were in my shoes and your girlfriend's best friend's father just busted your face open?" He asked, his voice thick and clogged with blood. "For touching your own girlfriend?"My head snapped towards him, anger burning behind my eyes as my voice came out low and sharp. "Don't you d

CHAPTER 150THE LEVERAGEALEXANDERAfter almost ten minutes of driving, I pulled up at the company. The building was already getting scanty, workers had begun to leave for the day, but some still remained. I walked through the lobby and headed straight to the elevator. Getting in, I punched in my floor number and stood in silence, waiting for arrival. I hope whatever Matheiu brings to me would make me feel something other than the rage still simmering in my chest.Mathieu was already waiting outside my office door, a case folder clutched in his left hand. When I met with his eyes, they were bright with the kind of excitement that only came from digging up someone else's dirt. And it got me excited too. But I didn't show it. “Mr Moreau… I expected you sooner,” he said with a small smile. "Well… I'm here."I unlocked the door and walked inside. The lights flickered on the minute we walked in, the city sprawled beyond the windows, indifferent to whatever was about to go down in this
