All Chapters of DOUBLE HEIR ; A LOVE IN DISGUISE : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LANDON'S POVI stood by the window on the upper floor of Grey Global Tower, watching the parking lot below. My hands were both behind my back, and inside me, I was so restless.I had come to drop off some documents for Alex, but then I saw them… together. “Was that really Miss Voss?” I asked myself, still in doubt.I had seen Alex’s car pull out of the lot, and she was sitting in the passenger seat right beside him. I stared at the disappearing car until it turned the corner and vanished from sight. “What the hell is going on?” I asked myself again, “Why was Alex taking her somewhere?”I sensed something was up, but I just didn't know what. Why was he bringing her so close, not just as an assistant, but now personally driving her around? He never even drived me around for once, not even with Victoria.I turned away from the window and paced the empty office. Restlessness clawed at me. I didn’t know exactly what was happening between Alex and Elena, but I was deeply uncomfortable wi

ELENA'S POV “I'll see you at work tomorrow,” he said before driving off. I watched his taillights drift into nothingness. The birds chirped and somehow I felt lighter than I used to be. This was good. I really needed to let that off my chest, and finally did. I walked upstairs…Standing in front of the neighbors door, I knocked. Twice. It was enough to get the attention of my old neighbor. “Come in!” I turned the door knob, pushed the door inside, letting myself in through the small crack that had the lights from the inner room. “Mummy!” My kids yelled, rushing into my arms. “Oh! It felt like forever, didn't it?” I asked them, ruffling their hairs, giving them a sweet peck on both their cheeks. “I'm hungry!” Liam yelled. “He ate a bowl of cereal not long ago,” the old neighbor chirped in before I could even say a word. Typical Liam. He was always hungry. I smiled. “You'll get used to that. Thank you for watching them today.”“It's no problem, I could use some of those comp

ALEXANDER'S POV Yesterday's argument with Elena kept playing over and over in my head. “Those kids are mine and I need to be a part of their lives too.”I stumped my hand on my desk, so hard that a book from the shelf in my study fell to the ground. I stared at the same document for the fifth time without reading a single word. “Was I too harsh?” I thought to myself, the image of her face unable to leave my head. “No! They are Greys, they've got my blood.”The morning had started normally enough with emails, calls, and the usual rhythm that followed me around as the CEO of Grey Global. But I just couldn't get my head straight for the day's work. I had flashbacks to yesterday. The way that man had kissed her forehead, the way she smiled at him, looking really comfortable around him, and the way he casually said he came to visit her and her kids. It seemed like he was closer to my own kids than I was. It twisted a piece of my heart for a reason I didn't know.“What's their relat

ALEXANDER'S POV I drove home that Saturday evening with a heavy mind. The day had been long, meetings, calls, and the constant weight of knowing that what I was about doing was going to hurt her. “Please Elena, don't make this difficult,” I thought to myself while I sat at the back seat of my black Nissan. Mr. Ben, the driver, drove in silence. The sound from the air conditioner being the only thing breaking the silence. Their faces kept flashing in my thoughts. The boy looked so much like me it was almost painful, and the girl had her gentle eyes. I had spent the afternoon trying to focus on my day, but every quiet moment brought me back to that small apartment and the truth I had finally faced.When we pulled into the estate, the house looked the same as always, grand, well-lit, and perfectly maintained. But somehow it felt different, colder, like the walls themselves knew the betrayals happening inside them.I walked through the front door, loosening my button as I headed upsta

ELENA'S POV “I think I'll need this,” I said as I lifted the heavy bottle of fresh milk. “This too,” I pointed to the fresh oranges that sat just close by. “Lila would love this.”I pushed the shopping cart slowly through the aisles of the grocery store. It was one of those quiet evenings where the sun was setting early, painting the sky in soft oranges and pinks. The twins were with the neighbor for a couple of hours while I picked up a few things we needed, milk, bread, some fresh fruits, and the vitamins Dr. Patel had recommended. I tried to focus on the list in my hand, but my mind kept drifting back to the office, and to Alexander. The way he had looked at me when he threatened a legal battle for the children, the fear hadn’t left me since that day.I picked up a carton of biscuits and placed it carefully in the cart. The store was not too crowded, which I liked. It gave me time to think without feeling rushed. The past few days had been a blur of anxiety. I had almost resi
