“Declan, can I trust you?”

“Yes, Mrs. Kingsley.”

This time, Declan answered without hesitation.

“Someone’s with Alexander, aren’t they?”

“Yes.”

For a moment, Elena felt as if a lump had formed in her throat. She couldn’t get a word out for wh seemed like ages.

Her fingers tightened around the phone, nails biting into her palm. Then she forced herself to ask the question she’d been dreading.

“Is it Fiona with him?”

Silence stretched between them-long enough that Elena already knew the answer.

“Thanks. I understand. Goodbye.”

She ended the call.

Declan stared at the darkened screen, then glanced toward the man seated in the back of the car.

Fiona, sitting up front, turned toward him, a soft smile touching her lips.

“Mr. Newton’s already waiting. Let’s go in.”

The man finally opened his eyes, the corners slightly reddened. Without a word, he stepped out of the car and followed Fiona into the clinic.

“Mr. Newton.”

Inside the office sat a middle-aged man in a white coat.

Fiona greeted him warmly.

From the very first day she’d met Alexander, she’d been drawn to him-helplessly, hopelessly.

Life, unfortunately, had way of playing tricks.

Catching sight of the wedding band on Alexander’s hand, Fiona curled her fingers tightly.

*Finished

Inside, Callum noticed Fiona through the window. He smiled faintly and turned his attention back to Alexander.

“You’re quite an influential man back in Westoria, Mr. Kingsley, What brings you all the way here to len someone like me?”

Alexander’s handsome face remained impassive.

“My wife is back home. I didn’t want her to worry.”

“Wife?”

Callum raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“Yes. I’m married.”

Alexander stated it plainly.

Callum studied him for a moment.

Most people didn’t lead with that, especially in a situation like this. This young man was making it clear– whatever was between him and Fiona, it wasn’t romantic.

Callum felt a pang of sympathy for Fiona.

“I hope you realize, Mr. Kingsley, the only reason you’re sitting here is because Fiona called me over and over, asking me to fit you in. And now you’re so quick to set those boundaries… As someone who’s watched her grow up, I can’t help feeling she deserves more consideration.”

“I’ll make it up to her,” Alexander replied evenly.

“I’ve already told her that if she’s willing to help, the Kingsley family will support the Spotts in rebuilding their business.”

He didn’t want to owe Fiona anything.

If she assisted him now, his family would ensure the Scotts recovered their standing

Anything beyond that-he couldn’t offer it, and he wouldn’t pretend to.

Callum fell quiet for a moment.

He’d heard of Alexander Kingsley before. If Alexander was willing to step in reviving the Scott fairly wouldn’t be an issue.

“From what I understand, you’ve known Fiona for some time. How come you never odered to help her family before?”
