Alexander's POV"Since no one is saying anything," I broke the silence that had lingered for over half an hour. His eyes still looked the same: fearless and intimidating. I tried to hide my fury with a smirk, waiting for the right time to break the news to him. "How about I tell you something interesting, Davis?""I love interesting things," he smiled.I took an envelope from my chest pocket, opening it so he could read the contents. "This is a cheque for a hundred thousand dollars. You can have it, a compensation for everything."He looked at it voraciously. "Why?""Just take it. I didn't seem to get any evidence. You're one lucky man," I smiled. "But if you refuse," I said, standing to leave."Wait!" He tried to stand, forgetting his feet were tightly knotted. "I'll have it."I knew a leopard could never change its spots. If only he knew it was a neatly woven trap. I handed the money over, ordering my men to release him."Are the police on their way?" I whispered to Frederick as I c
Bound by Deception. Division and Reunion.
Fiona's POV My gaze was fixed on Alexander as he stared at me for a long time. I felt tense as he walked up to me, grabbing my arms. "What's wrong?""Let's leave," he said with a look I'd never seen before.I followed silently into the car as he revved the engine, leaving Frederick behind. The drive was silent; he refused to answer my questions. Did he find out who Davis was? What on earth has Mister been up to?He pressed the brake to a halt at a hill and got out silently. I climbed down, fighting the wind as I walked to him."What's wrong?" I asked again, touching his shoulders, which he aggressively shoved away, showing me an image on his phone. It was Anna."Why were you with her?"I stared at it. "She... she wanted to see me, so I..."He grabbed my shoulders. "Tell me, have you been working for Anna?"There was no way Alexander would have figured out who I was; he still had doubts, that I was sure of. "I'd never do that to you. She proposed, but I declined.""And what about your
Bound by Deception. Plans.
Alexander's POVI sped off, following the GPS to Jones restaurant. I felt heavy-hearted as I sat close to the edge, scrolling through the electric menu. It didn't take a second before I punched the macaroni cheese box and whiskey to top it off.I could feel the ladies' gazes as the waiter approached me with a dish in hand, serving it with utmost professionalism.I took a glass of whiskey, going through the headlines. The sight of myself and Diya put me in a state of utter shock. Someone had taken a picture of Diya trying to kiss me. It looked different from what had really happened. It appeared as though I was also trying to return the kiss, which was far from the truth.I dialed Fiona's number, knowing she would have seen the headline, but she hung up immediately. I heaved a troubled sigh, taking another glass of whiskey.A lady walked towards me, taking the chair across from me. "I didn't know good-looking men still feel so lonely," she smiled, holding the glass of whiskey I was abo
Bound by Deception. No Turning Back.
Fiona's POVThe sunset dawned on us as I shakily stood up, suppressing the feeling of anxiety that had suddenly washed over me. Antonio sat still, crossing his legs and taking a cigarette out."It's been a long time," he finally said. "You should take a seat; this is the best place those sneaky paparazzi won't get a glimpse of you."I obeyed, sitting as quietly as I stood up. "I thought you left the country after you were adopted.""Yes, taken to Spain, lived a different life, but someone called me back," he smiled, inhaling the smoke that emanated from the cigarette.I swallowed the saliva that had formed in my mouth, moving closer to him. "Who?""You," he answered briefly. "I can't believe you want to go on with that silly plan of yours, Gabriella.""Don't call me that," I warned. "You wouldn't know anything if you didn't eavesdrop on my conversation with Davis that day.""It was an orphanage home. How do you expect kids not to go to the playground?" he laughed. "You have to stop."
Bound by Deception. The Edge.
Fiona's POVThe clock struck twelve. I took a deep breath, adjusting the mask over my face. A knock on the window made me shiver as I pushed it open and peered through."You look like a desperate cat," a voice said from behind.I spun around, ready to attack but stopped. "Davis? What are you doing here? No, how did you get in?""Shush!" He pressed his hand over my mouth, pushing me against the wall. "I told you not to do anything. You almost cost me my life," he whispered.I pushed him away, removing the mask. "Don't blame me for your misfortunes. You should have been more careful."His expression grew serious. "Do you really think I did that?""If you didn't, then who did?" I pressed further."I don't know. Look, I think someone else is after Alexander.""That's absurd. Who else would want to hurt him?" I walked to the stool, picking up my phone. "It's past midnight. I need to go."He grabbed my hand. "Where?""Sabrina's house," I whispered. "Please don't try to stop me.""I would. Y
Bound by Deception. Revelations.
Alexander's POV I sat still in the office, flipping through the piles of documents that seemed endless, even after three hours of combing through them.Yawning loudly, I looked up to see Frederick walk in, a look of satisfaction on his face. I smiled slightly, waiting for the news he was about to dispense."Sir, I found something on Sabrina," he cleared his throat, handing me some photos. "She's having an affair.""That slut has some guts," I laughed, dropping the photographs on the table. "Who's he?""He's discreet, unfortunately. I couldn't get his face."I flung the photos aside, breathing loudly as I walked towards him. "Make sure you find out who he is. And did you get anything on the man who did that to me?"He bowed slightly. "I'm sorry, sir. My men are still looking into it. There was no trace of him after that day. I'll try my best, sir."I moved closer, whispering into his ear, "It seems you've become more comfortable. Do you need something to remind you never to say the wo

Fiona's POV "I have to leave now," he said a few minutes after stepping out to make a call. His lips pressed against mine as he grabbed his keys."Where are you going?" I whispered, taking his hands in mine."I have an appointment," he muttered."This late? With whom?" I blurted out, biting my lips as he bent to stroke my hair."I'll call the driver to take you home, stay safe," he said, walking out swiftly.The smile on my face immediately turned into a large frown as I watched him walk out. It didn't seem as though he was the father of Sabrina's child. He hated her more than life itself; there was no way anything could have happened between them.I grabbed my coat and headed out, not waiting for the so-called driver, and took a cab to Michelle's home. She had been discharged a few days ago.I walked in, ringing the bell loudly. As she pushed the door open, a man walked out, adjusting his pants suspiciously. I winked, wearing a bright smile."Who has sex after being stabbed?" I shou
Bound by Deception. At My Own Game.
Fiona's POV I sat nervously as the driver followed silently, swerving whenever the lady did. "Keep going," I muttered, watching the road come to an end."Ma'am, we are at a dead end," the driver said. "It seems we missed her.""But she was here just now," I screeched furiously as the driver turned the steering wheel into the road again.I wondered what she was doing at the correctional facility. Who was she meeting? Fortunately, I had taken a quick shot of her before entering the car. Though she still had a mask on, I could recognize her even at night.I swiftly sent the photo to Davis, asking him to run a facial recognition. Strangely, I thought about what he had said—was there really someone else trying to subdue the Brooks family?"We are here," the driver woke me from my thoughts. I handed him some cash and got out, walking into the house.Isabella sat on the counter, as if waiting for my arrival. She sat straight, gazing at me for a while."Say what's on your mind?" I asked, pul
