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
Taming The Hot Billionaire (Temptation Series Book 4) Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-Five - His Parents' Acceptance
“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

“Lucas called to say that Mr. Fitzgerald is busy tonight. He wouldn’t be coming in for a discussion,” said Alexander, hovering around in the kitchen while Eva made dinner. The doorbell rang and Eva looked at him worriedly. “I thought Mr. Fitzgerald isn't coming in tonight.” Alexander shrugged and went forward to check out who had arrived at their doorstep at such an odd hour. Few people knew that he was released today and was still staying here in Bronx. Maybe it was Alyssa and Nicholas! “Should be Lisa and Nicholas.” He opened the door and rolled his eyes at seeing how right he was. “Knew it!” he said, opening the door wider for Alyssa and Nicholas to come in. “At last I’m allowed entry into the place. I thought I would always be a stalker waiting outside!” said Nicholas and Alyssa punched his arm. “Did you really stalk me? You creep?” asked Alyssa in disbelief. Eva emerged from the kitchen and giggled at the ongoing topic. “Yes, so? Alexander knows about it. He caught me so m

Eva’s head swooned under the effect of a panic attack, and she gasped for breath. Before she could reach the washroom door, her feet buckled, and she felt dizzy. Alexander rushed to catch her just in time to arrest her fall. Alyssa too rushed in followed by the others, too shocked by everything to react. Alexander’s parents gaped at the scene before them, finally realizing how deeply their behavior had affected the poor girl.“Eva, no one can separate us, baby! Please take a deep breath and calm down,” cried Alexander, but she lost her senses in his arms. Alexander carried her limp body to the bed. “I’ll get some water,” said Alyssa, rushing to the washroom. “Eva wake up. I’m right here with you. You’ve been brave for so long. You can’t fall sick now,” said Alexander, patting her cheeks. Alyssa rushed in with the water and sprinkled it over her face. It worked, and she slowly opened her eyes to look at Alexander with wide eyes. “Take deep breaths, baby. I don’t want to admit you
