Chapter 35: My Wife
That morning, Diana Jones had left her apartment, but Alexander’s men quickly lost her when she entered another building.
Unknown to Rain, Alexander had been keeping tabs on her ever since she started avoiding him. He knew something was off, and he decided to have someone tail her as well that day.
He found out that Rain came to her office but returned to her apartment late in the afternoon, only to head out again, this time to the Oasis Hotel for the Smith Law Firm’s anniversary gala. So as soon as Alexander wrapped up his work at the office, he headed straight to the hotel to surprise Rain. This way, she’d be cornered and couldn’t avoid him when they finally came face to face.
Making his way toward her, Alexander had just reached the hallway near the exit of the grand hall when he noticed a familiar figure... Paul Smith. He immediately recognized him from a photo Tyron had sent earlier, identifying the man as Rain’s cheating ex-boyfriend, the one whose car she was supposed to trash a few days back instead of his. Paul wasn’t his problem for now, so Alexander ignored him and dialed Rain’s number.
It was then that the doors to the hall opened in front of him, with Rain stumbling out, struggling to walk.
When she answered, her voice was weak and panicked. "I need help. I think someone drugged me. I’m here at the—"
Before she could finish, Paul was there to catch her as she lost consciousness.
Alexander’s eyes widened in alarm. Without a second thought, he rushed forward, pulling Rain away from the man. "Don’t touch my wife!" he snarled, shoving Paul away hard, causing him to stumble onto the floor.
Shocked, Paul stared up at Alexander, clearly not expecting the sudden intrusion.
