ALEXANDER He shifted in his chair, dragging me back to the conversation.“So what are you saying?”I looked at him.“I’m saying you had your chance.”His expression tightened.“You don’t know what happened between us.”“I don’t need to.”I kept my voice calm because I didn’t need to raise it to make the words hurt.“I know enough to understand that she gave you something you didn’t know how to value, and now you’re watching another man give her the respect you should have given her and suddenly realizing what you lost.”His jaw clenched.“You think you’re better than me?”I didn’t replied, and he scoffed getting more pissed “I still love her.”There was something about the way Darius said it that immediately irritated me, because he said it as though the confession itself gave him some kind of right to her, as though admitting that he still had feelings for Rhea could somehow erase everything he had done to her.I leaned back in my chair and studied him for a moment, letting the sil

MIRAI had watched Alexander Sinclair on television before, of course, because it was almost impossible to live in the same business circles as the Sinclair family without hearing his name, but seeing him on the screen that evening made me understand why women were always finding excuses to get close to him.The news presenter was discussing the latest developments surrounding the Lancaster scandal, also some bitch named Sofia, and there he was, sitting beside Rhea at some public event, wearing a dark suit that fit his broad shoulders perfectly while the camera captured the kind of face that could make a woman forget whatever she had been about to say.His hair was neatly styled, his jaw was sharp, and his expression carried that effortless confidence that only seemed to make him more attractive, especially when he turned toward Rhea and said something that made her look at him with an expression I hadn’t seen on her face in a very long time.I leaned forward on the sofa.What the he

ALEXANDER I was so lost in my thoughts, in her, even though she was right in front of me, that at least I didn’t pay attention to what she said, until she tapped me gently, and that still made me go crazy, but I didn’t wanted her to keep reading me like a book, cause it was embarrassing “I said he tried to get me to listen to him, and he reached for my arm when I walked away, but I moved before he could grab me properly.”I nodded slowly.“Did you arrange to meet him?”“No, Alexander.”The irritation in her voice sharpened, and she folded her arms across her chest.“I didn’t arrange anything with him, I haven’t been sneaking around with him, and I certainly haven’t been having some secret affair with my ex-boyfriend while pretending to be married to you.”She stopped, then gave me a look that suggested she couldn’t believe we were even having this conversation.“Do you actually think I’d do that?”“No.”My answer came so quickly that she fell silent.I reached for my phone and place

RHEA Alexander walked in, and loosened his tie, looking tired in the way he always did after a long day of meetings, and when he noticed me sitting on the bed, his expression softened slightly.“You’re quiet tonight.”I looked up from my book.“I’m reading.”He glanced at the book in my hands, then back at my face.“You’ve been staring at the same page since I walked in.”I looked down and realized he was right, which was irritating enough that I immediately closed the book.“Maybe it’s a very interesting page.”His mouth curved into a smile.“Then I should probably leave you to it.”He started toward the bathroom, but before he could disappear inside, I found myself speaking.“Alexander?”He stopped and turned toward me.“Thank you.”His expression changed slightly.“For what?”I looked down at the book in my lap because looking directly at him suddenly felt much harder than it should have.“For believing me earlier.”He was quiet for a moment, and when I finally raised my eyes, I f

RHEAThe problem with sleeping with Alexander Sinclair was that I couldn’t exactly pretend nothing had happened the next morning, especially when I woke up in his arms and found him already awake, watching me with that stupidly attractive smile that made me want to pull the covers over my head and never come out.“Morning, sweetheart.”I closed my eyes again. “No.”He chuckled. “No what?”“No smiling at me like that.”“Would you prefer I frown?”“I would prefer you to shut up.”His laughter made my stomach flutter, which was precisely why I needed to get out of that bed before I did something equally stupid, like kiss him again and forget that we had a contract to deal with and an entire conspiracy threatening to ruin both our lives.I slipped out of his arms and reached for my robe, pretending I hadn’t noticed the way his eyes followed me.“We need to talk,” I said.His smile faded slightly. “That sounds serious.”“It is.”I turned to face him, clutching the robe around myself while
