“Where do you think you are going with those bags?” Xander interrogated as soon as he cornered her. “Of course, I’m leaving you!” She said, standing her ground, despite the fear in her eyes. “Why?” “You forgot to mention how dangerous you were.” Xander let out a deep throaty chuckle. “Sweetheart, you didn’t ask.” “I don’t care! I don’t want to be a part of this anymore!” She insisted. Xander shook his head. “Too late. We are already married.

One Step Behind

As soon as the news of the waiter's death reached Xander's ears, he shut his eyes and turned his back to Liam.

"We were a step behind. She has gotten rid of him."

Liam's brows furrowed. "How come this woman has this much influence to kill someone in the police custody?"

"This is a sign that we shouldn't underestimate her and the people around her," Xander said, turning to face him. Letting out a sigh, he added, "My wife is not going to take this news easy."

The least Aurora was expecting was for justice to be served to her father's murderer, so hearing anything aside from that would hurt her.

At the other end, Stephanie got the news of the waiter's death from the detective and was so shocked that she sat back down on the couch.

"What are you talking about? How can someone in your custody die?" she interrogated, her gaze darkening with every second that passed.
