Alpha alec's redemption (Sadie) novel Chapter 167

“Yes, Alec had told me that you would come by,” she sits down. I follow suite, sitting beside her.

I take her hand and mesh our fingers together before placing our joined hands on my lap. Her hand tightens in warning, but I refuse to let her go. I am not going to miss this chance. The chance to feel her even if it’s just her hand.

“Do you have any enemies? Anyone that would want to harm you?” Nolan directs the question to me.

“I’m a businessman, of course I have a lot of rivals and enemies. It comes with owning the largest security firm in the country.”

“Anyone that would have a personal vendetta?” This comes from Chris.

Well, plenty of them if I am being honest, but they don’t need to know that.

“Not that I know of, officer.”

“What about you, Sadie?” Chris directs the question to her.

“I don’t think so. I would say the thousands of women who are infatuated with my fiancé, but not a lot of people know that we are engaged.”

Who would have thought that Sadie was such a good actress? Looking at her, if I didn’t know the truth, I would have believed her.

“How long have you been engaged, and where is your engagement ring? I doubt a man like Mr. Ashford would propose without a ring.” Nolan’s eyes move from Sadie’s finger back to her face.

Fuck. I’d not thought of that. Should have bought a damn ring or told them that she was my girlfriend.

“I think I lost it during the wreck. I woke up without it, and the nurses said I didn’t come in wearing a ring on my finger.” Sadie looked sad, as if the thought of her lost ring broke her heart. “We’ve only been engaged for about three months.”

“Don’t worry, darling, I’ll get you another. A better one” I raise our joined hands and skim my lips on the back of her hand before kissing it.

“But I want that one. It was the perfect one,” she pouts, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

Damn, she was good.

I turn to the officers. "Please, if you find it, let us know.”

They nod their heads. They then jot something down in their notebooks.

“Did you get a good look at the men that were after you?” Chris asked.
