Alexander rushed outside the wrought-iron gates but strangely Eva had disappeared from view. “Are you sure you left her here?” asked Sienna, catching up. “Yes. I told her not to go anywhere without me,” said Alexander worriedly, taking out his phone to call Eva. Just then, the security guard came out of their booth near the far end of the gate. “Are you looking for Ms. Eva?” he asked them. “Yes, she’s my wife. Have you seen her?” asked Alexander hopefully. “Yes, she went to the departmental store to buy water. Should be here any minute.” They breathed a sigh of relief and waited for two minutes when Eva came towards them carrying a bottle of water. “Sorry, I needed water.” She smiled, looking a little guilty at seeing them waiting for her. “You could have called me, Eva. Dad’s calling you inside to attend the wedding.” Eva gaped at him but slowly shook her head disappointedly. “Did you fight?” Sienna shook her head and caught her arm to steer her inside the mansion. “No, we di
Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-One - A Distress Call
Eva walked out to the lawn to look for Alexander, her heart crushed by Daniel Van Every’s offer. What did he think she was? How could he even think of offering her money? Was there no place for feelings, or sentiments in his heart? Was money everything in his eyes? Then how did he choose to marry Alexander’s mom if he didn’t fall in love with her? They had an illicit affair while Jodie Van Every was still married to his own brother. If that wasn’t a crime then how was her mom, Stella Roderick’s actions looked down upon with so much hatred? Didn’t Jodie Van Every commit a similar crime with her former husband, Alyssa’s dad? Eva couldn’t voice these thoughts since they were Alexander’s parents, and he didn’t want to hurt him. She wiped her tears away, refusing to show how affected she was by their insensitivity. She could feel Alexander’s mom glaring at her as she dashed inside the house to take an update from her husband. “Oh, here you are. I’ve been looking for you everywhere. Why h

Alexander gasped in shock. He recognized the voice immediately. It was Mr. Strasbourg’s. Alarmed, he immediately calmed his panicked mind. “Where are you, Mr. Strasbourg? Do you want me to come over?” he asked agitatedly. “Yes, come to my house,” came the feeble reply. Before Alexander could ask any more questions, the call got disconnected. He gaped at his mobile phone, unable to decide. Should he wake up Eva before leaving? No, he decided against it. She wasn’t well and would get unnecessarily worked up. He just typed a message to her to inform her he was going out and sent it to her. She would know of his whereabouts when she woke up. Going to meet Mr. Strasbourg, CEO of Rotterdams. He needs help. I’ll be back soon. He picked up his wallet and car keys and went out quietly so as not to disturb Eva. He drove off all the way to Water Mill on Long Island. Many times he had visited the secluded property where Mr. Strasbourg lived. Perched on an isle overlooking Mecox Bay, he always
Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-Three - Saving Alexander
Eva rang the doorbell anxiously and waited at Sienna’s doorstep. It was already 6:30 in the evening and she doubted they could help Alexander tonight. He would have to spend the night in the precinct. Tears pricked at her eyes, but she blinked them away. No, she wouldn’t cry. She couldn’t let Alexander down. The door opened and Eva smiled at Sarah, their middle-aged housekeeper, whom she had met many times before. “Is Sienna at home?” she asked anxiously, not in the frame of mind for pleasantries. “Yes, in the living room.” Eva rushed into the house, straight to the living room, where she saw Sienna and Lucas sitting and watching a cartoon show with Alexia. Eva was at Mystic when Sienna gave birth to a baby boy, Adrian. She hadn’t been able to meet Adrian since her life had been disrupted in the last few weeks with her own pregnancy, wedding, and now with the emergency that had suddenly cropped up. Sienna turned to see Eva and looked startled by her sudden arrival. “Eva? What a ple

It was 7:40 in the night and Alexander sat in the precinct, thinking about what Eva was up to. Did she talk to Lucas? Did he decline help? Who could he turn to for help now? His door unlocked and the officer in charge summoned him. “Your defense attorney is here to see you.” Alexander released a sigh of relief, realizing that Lucas might have sent an attorney to help him out. He followed the officer out to a room where a middle-aged, distinguished-looking man was waiting for him. The officer left them alone, locking the door and waiting outside. “Hello, Mr. Van Every! I’m Chris Fitzgerald, a criminal defense attorney with fifteen years of experience in handling complex criminal cases in and around New York. Lucas Donnelly has sent me to fight your case, but I would need more details. Can we sit down and plan a strategy to get you out of this mess?” said the attorney, stretching his hand forward for a shake. “Hello, Mr. Fitzgerald. Pleased to meet you.” Alexander shook hands with hi

“So, what have you decided about my offer? It still holds true,” said Alexander’s dad in a taunting tone, as if he was sure she would change her mind and jump at his offer. “My decision remains unchanged, Mr. Van Every,” said Eva, taking a deep breath to calm herself. She wouldn’t react, nor would she shed any tears. “Do you realize that you’re playing with my son's life with your stubbornness? Take the money and get out of his life. I will hire the best legal team to save him right away, but before that, I want you out of his life for good.”“Thank you, Mr. Van Every, but I am quite capable of saving my husband,” said Eva, while her friends gaped at the ongoing conversation in shock. This was a completely different side to Daniel Van Every that they were witnessing, a side only Eva knew existed. It wasn’t anything different. He had been the same in the last twelve years of her association with him.“I don’t trust the likes of you. It is because of you that Alexander has stooped to
Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-Six - Alexander Gets Out On Bail
“Bro, this isn’t even half the bail amount. Why did you lie to Eva? She’d be so upset when she comes to know,” said a worried Nicholas as they headed to the court for the initial bail hearing before the Magistrate judge. He looked at the cheque that Sienna had issued against the jewelry that Eva handed to her. It was the exact amount Lucas had specified to Eva. “I didn’t want to overburden her with a loan. Don’t tell her anything. I’ll have a word with Alexander later when he is released. Right now, I’m paying the rest of the amount. It’s the same with Chris’s payment. He didn’t quote it all to Alyssa. I’ll pay the rest when the case is over.” They met Chris and discussed the case outside the court while waiting for the proceedings to start. “So, what’s the update on the case? Did you find any leads? Will they approve of Alexander’s bail request?” asked Lucas in a low whisper. “Yes. I’m hundred percent sure, given Alexander’s respectable past record. I’ve roped in a few noteworthy

“Eva’s been at my house with Sienna and Alyssa since last night. Don’t worry, we didn’t allow her to return to her apartment. They ensured she didn’t skip her meals, and she was perfectly fine. In fact, we’re all heading there right now,” said Lucas, and Alexander smiled with relief. “I know why you asked. Maybe it’s got something to do with Alyssa. She can answer your question better, bro,” whispered Nicholas. Alexander smiled, amazed at how Nicholas could see through him. “What are we waiting for, man? Let’s go?” urged Alexander, unable to wait any longer. All the formalities were over at the court and they had no reason to wait. “You need to collect your belongings from the precinct, Mr. Van Every,” said the officer, and Alexander nodded. “I’ll see you later, son. Here are the keys to the penthouse. I’m sorry for everything that happened,” said his dad, handing him the keys and walking away, leaving him stunned. What the hell just happened? Did his dad apologize for his beha
