Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 102

Alexander’s POV.

The mansion was quiet when I walked in, too quiet. The usual hustle of bodyguards and staff moving around felt distant, muffled by the storm raging in my head. I could barely focus on anything but the anger seeping through my veins. The news James had just dropped on me replayed in my mind, impossible to shake.

Bianca Monroe Lewis was out of jail. And my mother had a hand in it.

I paced through the foyer, my footsteps heavy against the marble floor, trying to make sense of it all. I’d spent the past weeks doing everything in my power to ensure Bianca paid for her crimes, and now she was free, walking around like none of it had happened. And my own mother had gone behind my back to make it happen.

I stormed into my office, slamming the door behind me. The wood vibrated with the force, but it still didn’t release the tension coiled in my chest. I stood in the middle of the room, hands clenched at my sides, trying to figure out how it had all fallen apart so quickly.

A knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts. “Come in, I growled, not bothering to mask the anger in my voice.

The door opened, and James stepped in, his expression cautious. “Sir, I understand this is a difficult situation, but I’ve managed to gather more information.”

“Speak I ordered, sinking into the leather chair behind my desk. My fingers drummed against the desk as I waited for him to explain.

James took a breath before continuing, “It appears your mother personally contacted Bianca’s legal team. She vouched for her and even used her influence to expedite the release process. With Bianca’s lawyer being one of the top in the country, the judge decided the evidence wasn’t strong enough to hold her without bail. That’s why she’s free.”

“Of course, she did.” I leaned back, running my hand over my face in frustration. “I should’ve known. My mother’s always had a soft spot for Bianca, even when she was blatantly manipulating everyone around her.”

“She believes Bianca’s innocent,” James added, almost hesitantly.

I slammed my fist on the desk, causing James to flinch. “Innocent? Bianca is the furthest thing from innocent! She’s a liar, a manipulator, and she almost killed Christiana and the kids in that fire. She’s anything but innocent.”

James remained quiet, his face tight. He knew better than to push me when I was like this, but I could see the concern in his

eyes.

I stood up abruptly, pacing to the window that overlooked the sprawling estate. The manicured lawns and gardens stretched out before me, but all I could see was red. My mother….my own blood…had betrayed me. She’d fallen for Bianca’s lies, like so many before her, and now the snake was free to roam again.
