New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 You can never escape my sight 

Claire’s frown deepened as she stared at Alex. “What are you talking about, Alex?” 

Alex, feeling his frustration bubble over, snapped, “Why didn’t you want to have dinner with me?” 

Claire sighed, a wave of exhaustion washing over her. 

This again. 

“This is a never–ending situation, Alex. I’m getting tired of it. I’m not bound to say yes to every word you say,” 

Alex’s expression darkened. “Back in London, when I asked you out for dinner, you declined, saying you were busy. But then I saw you with Adrian at a restaurant.” 

Claire crossed her arms over her chest, meeting his gaze steadily. “So?” 

Alex felt a fresh wave of frustration. “Why do you never want to have dinner with me? Is it because you feel embarrassed that I know about your past?” 

In an instant, Claire’s eyes turned cold. She pointed a finger at his chest in a threatening way. “Just because you know about my past doesn’t mean we’re friends, Alex. We’re only business partners and nothing more.” 

Alex took a deep breath, trying to keep his temper in check. “Do you like Adrian?” 

Claire scoffed, shaking her head. “It’s my business who I like, and you don’t need to know.” 

Alex took a step closer, catching her off guard. He placed a hand on her bare back, leaning in so their breaths mingled. 

“It is my business because I was once your husband.” 

Claire chuckled sarcastically and grabbed his tie, pulling him closer until their faces were only inches apart. “Ex–husband,” she sneered before pushing him away and walking off. 

Claire took a deep breath to calm herself before taking a seat next to Adrian. 

She smiled apologetically. “Sorry for taking so long.” 

Adrian smiled back, reassuring her. “It’s fine, Claire.” 

Feeling relieved, Claire suggested, “We should leave once we’re finished here.” 

Adrian nodded in agreement and proceeded to pay the bill. As they stood up and Claire looped her arm through Adrian’s elbow, she noticed Alex from the corner of her eye. He was frowning, but she chose to ignore him and turned her attention forward. 

It was finally their last day in Vegas, and Claire and her team had finished their work. They were ready to go home. Alexander offered them the use of his private jet, but Claire declined politely. 

With the incident yesterday, Claire told Alex that her team will use her jet instead. Claire knew the situation will be awkward inside Alex private jet and she doesn’t want the employees to suspect anything between Alex and Claire. 

What Claire couldn’t believe is Alex bravery for still offered her to use his jet on the way home. After what he did to Claire last night, she is in disbelief with Alex. He should at least apologize for his behavior. 

The audacity of him! 

Claire can’t help but wonder Alex change in behavior. He seems to be more…jealousy, clingy and protective? If that even the word to describe him. 

Once Claire landed in London, her driver dropped her off at her penthouse. As she headed inside, the receptionist greeted her with a message. “Ms. Peterson, you have a package.” 

Claire raised an eyebrow. “Who is it from?” 

The receptionist shook her head. “I’m sorry, miss but I don’t know.” 

Frowning, Claire thanked her and took the package upstairs. It seemed to contain documents, she thought. After settling herself in the living room, she tore open the paper and took out the contents. 

Claire was beyond shocked at what she found. It was a series of photographs taken during her stay in Las Vegas. They were incredibly detailed, capturing the places she visited, the people she talked to, and even the hotel she stayed in. 

She dropped the photos on the coffee table, her eyebrows scrunched in concern. 

“This is getting out of control,” she muttered to herself. She quickly pulled her phone from her bag and dialed Matthew’s number. 

Matthew answered after a few rings. “Hey, Claire. Everything okay?” 

“Matthew, we have a problem,” Claire said, trying to keep her voice steady.

“What’s wrong?” Matthew’s tone immediately became serious. 

“I need you to come to the penthouse. You need to see this.” Claire told him with urgency in her voice. 

Matthew taken notice of Claire urgency, scrunched his brows in concern as he stood up from his seat and made his way out of Claire office. “Of course, Claire I will be there.” 

The call ended and Claire was still staring at each one of the photos. 

She couldn’t believe someone is crazy enough to stalk her to Las Vegas. Her mind drifted to Eligos and put her suspicion on him. 

Is this Eligos doing or is there someone else’s doing it? 

Thirty minutes later, Matthew arrived at her penthouse with Claire still sitting on the living room couch. The sound of her front door opening alert Claire. 

“Claire?” Matthew called her out. 

“In the living room, Matt.” 

“Sorry for arriving late, the traffic was crazy.” Matthew said as he walked to the living room. Claire nodded. “It’s fine.” She then gestured to the photos on the coffee table and Matthew expression is mirroring Claire earlier. 

He took the photo in his hands and looked at each one of the pictures.
