Elena was shocked as she saw Mandera with a swollen stomach. She uttered, “Mandera…”Mandera forced a smile. “Elena,” she murmured. At that moment, Elena opened the door wide for her.Mandera stepped inside, and Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. “Hey, Mandera. Long time. What are you doing here?”Mandera gently rubbed her stomach. “I’m here because of this. I’m going to have a baby… your baby,” she said simply.Alexander froze, processing her words. He glanced at Elena, who stood still for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then, she scoffed. “Wow… really?”Natalie, standing nearby, chimed in with raised eyebrows, “You’re pregnant with his baby?”Mandera gulped, her eyes darting nervously between them. “I know… I know you didn’t expect this. It was a mistake. I just wanted to let you know. I can... abort it if that’s what you want.”Elena’s eyes darkened, her jaw clenched. “You dare not! You are not aborting *our* baby.”Mandera and Alexander were taken aback, exchanging confuse
Living with Elena had been one of the most joyful moments in Alexander's life in recent days, despite the relentless insults he often endured from her parents. However, he didn't let those insults affect him. After all, Tracy and her family had always hurled insults at him. Currently, Alexander was seated in a restaurant near Elena's Company’s building. Today, he planned to surprise her with a visit. Sipping his coffee slowly, he had been occupied with the flash drive he had been researching for the past few days. Through this research, he discovered that several companies he had applied to in the past that rejected him not because of a lack of competence, but due to his lack of wealth and connections were all subsidiary companies of his father's company. His father had given him the contact information of his butler, whom Alexander had reached out to a few days ago. The butler, upon learning that Alexander was still alive, felt immense relief and shed tears when Alexander told him
Elena peacefully slept in their bedroom while Alexander stood at the balcony, making important calls regarding the ongoing humiliation Elena faced at work. Determined to take charge of the company, Alexander had set his mind on assuming full control the next day."Mr. Cain, please arrange an emergency meeting across all our companies. I intend to take charge tomorrow," Alexander confidently instructed his butler over the phone."Of course, Young Master. I will handle it immediately. You can count on me," Cain responded from the other end of the line."Thank you very much," Alexander expressed his gratitude before ending the call."He will pay for everything he did. How dare he make advances towards her? He may have escaped my retaliation once, but he won't get away with it a second time," Alexander vowed silently, his determination burning in his thoughts.***************The following morning, Alexander left before Elena woke up. He called her to let her know he had a business interv
A young, handsome man with golden hair dressed in a white shirt and a black jacket. Holding a food trolley, he walked through the hallway of the exquisite hotel.The floor beneath his feet boasted pure marble, while the walls were adorned with a vibrant coat of red paint.*Beep!*Alexander Starius pressed the doorbell of room 345, preparing to deliver the food that had been ordered.Within moments, the door swung open, revealing a man of similar age to Alexander, wrapped in a white towel."Good morning, sir. You ordered room service," Alexander greeted the young man."Come in," the man replied, granting Alexander entry. As he stepped into the room, he was met with a sight that left him stunned—lying on the bed, partially undressed, was none other than his wife, Tracy."Tracy! What's going on?" Alexander exclaimed, shocked to find his wife in such a compromising position.Alexander Starius, a man who had no knowledge of his family's complicated history was unaware of the hatred from M
Alexander stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest, struggling to comprehend the betrayal that played out before him. The Harringtons, the very people who coarsed him in marrying Tracy, now showed there true colors."You planned this?" Alexander gritted his teeth, his hands clenched at his sides. "Was this all just a sick game to you?"The crowd was taken aback as they began to gossip,"Oh my goodness, what's going on? Who is this man?" a woman in the crowd whispered."I think he's the husband of Tracy Harrington. I've seen them together at events." Another added.Mr. Harrington chuckled, as he was joyous to seeing Alexander's torment. "Come on, a pauper like you? I thought all this year's that maybe one day you might inherit your father's Legacy, but I don't know if you are a bastard or his child." "My father? My father's never left anything behind for me," Alexander was surprised because that was what his mother told him."You don't even know your father, I guess... Haha you'
Tracy, stop with your lies. You're causing harm to innocent people," Elena said firmly, holding onto her two-year-old child as she approached Tracy, ready to confront her.Tracy glared at Elena, her eyes filled with fury. "Mind your own business. This doesn't concern you," she spat.Undeterred, Elena stood tall, as she spoke. "It does concern me. Alexander is not a rapist, and I know he would never harm you."Tracy's face reddened with her fake tears, and she clenched her fists. "How dare you! You're a disgraced woman with a child born out of wedlock. You have no right to judge me!" The crowd gasped, shocked by Tracy's harsh words.Elena felt the weight of their judgement as the crowd either laughed or mocked her. She had always carried the shame of having a child out of wedlock, and Tracy had just humiliated her in front of everyone.Tears welled up in Elena's eyes as Tracy continued to lash out with insults.Meanwhile, Alexander, who barely knew Elena, was taken aback by her courage
Three years later.....Three years had passed and Alexander had been released from prison, but the wounds inflicted by the Harringtons' betrayal still felt raw for Alexander. As he walked the familiar streets his jaw clenched at the stare. In the eyes of the world, he would forever be branded a rapist, a monster who had preyed upon an innocent woman.He shoved his hands deeper into the pockets of his worn jacket, hunching his shoulders against the bitter chill that had seeped into his very bones during those endless nights in his cold cell. "Tracy, you will pay for this. Every single pain I received you will get them ten times" Rounding the corner, He saw a commotion up ahead and snapped from his thoughts. He stumbled upon a scene – a group of older boys around the age of fourteen, they wore luxurious clothes by the look of their snide expressions, encircling a small child who was approximately six years old."P-please, just leave me alone," the kid stammered, clutching his schoolba
The tinted windows of the blacked-out SUVs rolled down. *Rummm!* Engines growled as the convoy of intimidating vehicles screeched to a halt, surrounding Alexander in a semi-circle of looming metal and malice. Car doors flung open and the thugs spilled out onto the street in a choreographed show of force. First came Leo himself, the imposing gang leader. The parents of the disciplined kids trailed sheepishly behind this small army, looking suddenly unsure if involving these vicious criminals had been the best idea. Leo swaggered forward, his burly frame adorned with the bright red and black colour that struck fear into the hearts of those unwise enough to cross the Crimson Skulls gang. His goons fanned out behind him, cracking knuckles and sneering as they sized up their target. Leo came from an upbringing in the slums of Starlight City. From a young age, he fell into the wrong crowd, getting wrapped up in petty crimes and gang violence that plagued the streets. However, Leo's
