Chapter - 52 "Mom!" Alex called out for Martha the moment he entered the house. "Why are you here, causing a ruckus?" Martha asked as she walked out of her room. "What?" surprised by her words, Alex asked. "I meant, why are you home so early?" Martha changed her tone when she realised what she had blurted out. "Oh... You remember that presentation I was working on yesterday?" Alex asked to which Martha nodded, "It went pretty well. Karen was kinda happy with me. So she said I could take a half-day off. Isn't she just the nicest boss?" Alex was more excited to brag about Karen than his own presentation. "That's good. I am sure you will do even better in the future," Martha said as she ruffled his hair. "Mom, I need to go out today," Remembering the dinner plan, he suddenly said, "So I won't be having dinner with the two of you."&nb

Chapter - 54 "Are you all coming or not?" Karen looked back as she reached the entrance of the restaurant. Hearing her, all of them came to their senses from the shock and hurriedly followed her inside. Springville was a restaurant as well as a club. Just as they walked through the gate, there were stairs going down to the club while the other stairs that led to the upper floors were for dining. Alex saw men and women dressed in accessories worth thousands of dollars climb up the stairs as they stumbled upon each other. It was a good thing that there were bouncers not allowing those coming out of the club to use the main entrance, otherwise, it would have been a mess in there. Alex followed the ladies as they walked through the corridor leading to the stairs going upstairs. The dining area also had two floors. The first floor was suitable to dine when you are in a small group, with your family or friends. While the second floor was much more fitting for department dinners when you a

Chapter - 56 Horrified by what he had done, Alex looked at Ellaine and Hazel with pleading eyes. On the other hand, the shock on Ellaine and Hazel's faces soon turned into a smirk. They didn't say a thing, but Alex knew that he was now totally in their grasp, without a choice. The dinner, which was supposed to be a celebration for Alex and Amber's joining the family, turned into complete chaos by Karen. All she did throughout the dinner was drown herself in alcohol without having a single bite of food. She sat beside Alex, and even after the smacking she got from Alex, she continued to yell at him or smack him from time to time. Alex, on the other hand, after losing his temper once, was more cautious this time. He tried to get her something to eat, but to no success, at last, he could only give up in failure. Even Jennifer and the others tried but to no success.Amidst the chaos, when they were finally done, all o

Chapter - 58   "You... Imbecile. How dare you be rude to the master of this house? I am her husband, so why is it that you can't trust me?" The man asked Alex, but as if coming to a sudden realization, he continued, "And most of all, why should I bloody care whether you trust me or not?" The man said as he blocked Alex again and did not allow Alex to go further in.   "Don't act so high and noble in front of me," Alex said, "You are dressed like a hobo but talk like some nobility, 'You imbecile. How dare you be rude to this good for nothing master of the house.'" Alex mimicked Karen's husband.   "You deviant. I don't want to bring myself to your level. She is my wife, and I demand you to hand her over," The man said, hanging on to the last straw of rationality.   "It's true, but..." However reluctant Alex was, he had no excuse left in his arsenal.   "No, if and buts. You

Chapter - 60 'How about Prey among Predators?' Amber suggested. She had this sly smile on her face looking at Alex's confused face. 'What?' Alex was confused by this name that sprouted out of nowhere of which he could neither make a head nor tail of. 'Brilliant,' 'Wait... wait... wait... What am I missing here? What's this all about prey and predator? Who's the prey? Who's the predator?' Alex wrote in the chat. 'Why don't you guess?' It was Hazel again in the chat. 'Are you guys sure the Prey is not the Predator?' Ellaine asked in the group. It was evident that she was still holding a grudge against Alex for yesterday. 'Don't be a spoilsport, Ellaine. You are taking it too far,' someone wrote in the chat. 'That's true. I like this new name,' Hazel wrote. 'Yeah. I also think it's quite funny,' Jennifer also expressed her approval. 'I concur.' 'Me too.' Everyone expressed their agreement. 'So it's decided, the new name is 'Prey among Predators,' Hazel said, and soon the name
