So Alexandra wanted a divorce because she'd fallen into the river and he hadn't come home to look after her?Did she really resent Melissa that much? Did their marriage mean so little to her?A vein throbbed at Ron's temple. He snatched the divorce papers off the nightstand, but just as he was about to open them, Alexandra finally answered his call."What is it?" she asked flatly."You're threatening me with divorce now? Over this?"Alexandra was unfazed by his furious accusation. She picked up the remote, opened the curtains, and stretched before answering him."Of course not."For a split second, the tension in Ron's chest eased. Then her next words sent it right back."Our marriage is already over. Why would I need to threaten you?"Already over?Ron gave a humorless laugh, his eyes dark with anger."You think you can end our marriage just by saying so? I'm not signing those divorce papers!"So he still hadn't read them.Alexandra walked over to the table in her slipper

Someone was pounding on the door.Lucian set down the half-peeled fruit and glanced toward the bathroom, where Alexandra was showering. Then he went to answer it.Ron stood outside, looking frantic. Something flickered in Lucian's eyes, though his expression gave nothing away."And you are?"Ron barely spared him a glance. Desperate to find Alexandra, he tried to shove past Lucian into the living room."Move!"Lucian gave the paring knife in his hand a quick flourish, then swept the blade dangerously close to Ron's eyes, blocking his path."This is a private residence. If you insist on forcing your way in, don't blame me for what happens."The sight of the blade brought Ron back to his senses, if only a little. He took two steps back and glared at Lucian, barely containing his anger."This is my house! You're the one trespassing! Who are you?"That was exactly what Lucian had wanted to hear. A faint smile touched his lips, his expression warm and easy."This is my fiancée's

Melissa was still trying to process the unexpected good news when Ron walked off, leaving her behind.She watched him go, then slowly got to her feet. She was about to follow when a thought struck her. Turning back, she gave Alexandra a triumphant smile."Alexandra, I told you. You never stood a chance against me!"Alexandra said nothing. She descended the stone steps, one by one, until she stood directly in front of Melissa.A couple of inches taller than Melissa, Alexandra looked down at her smug face.She thought of her grandmother's ruined pocket watch and everything else Melissa had put her through. It was time to settle the score.Alexandra flexed her fingers and gave Melissa a polite smile. Before Melissa could figure out what she was up to, Alexandra slapped her hard across the face.The blow sent Melissa sprawling to the ground. Her cheek, still flushed from her illness, began to swell.Alexandra's fingers stung and went numb, but she'd never felt better. She met Melis

It wasn't until they landed in Vesravia, a country on the continent of Asteron, that Alexandra realized how much Lucian had arranged in advance.He'd arranged for a car to pick them up, booked them into a five-star hotel, and even hired a personal concierge to plan their itinerary. He'd thought of everything.Alexandra hadn't expected any of it. Lucian had told her he'd only recently graduated and came from an ordinary family. So how did he have so many connections overseas?But she was too preoccupied with her grandmother's watch to dwell on it.At the watchmaker's shop, a specialist examined the watch and told her there was still a chance it could be repaired. Alexandra was relieved.With nothing else pressing to do, she and Lucian spent the next few days exploring Vesravia and seeing the sights.Lucian seemed to know the place inside out. He knew the history of every landmark and all the stories behind it, as though he'd been there countless times.They even ran into several

Alexandra had expected that question ever since her lawyer sent her the divorce agreement.Ron had always been convinced she loved him too much to leave. That was why he'd felt free to cheat, brushing off every affair as nothing more than a little fun.He'd never believed her feelings could truly change. Even if she fell for someone else, he'd tell himself she was only doing it out of spite, trying to hurt him the way he'd hurt her.It was just another way for him to let himself off the hook.After all, if even Alexandra's love could fade, then perhaps lasting love didn't exist. His affairs were simply human nature. Anyone in his position would have given in to temptation.Even Alexandra, the woman he'd once been willing to give up his playboy ways for, couldn't love him forever. So why should he expect more of himself?If love never lasted, what was the point of staying faithful?He might as well enjoy himself while he was young, fool around, break a few hearts, and eventually
