Chapter 156
Christiana’s POV
The day had started perfectly. Business was flourishing like never before. My team had just closed another massive deal, and the gallery expansion project was moving faster than expected. Even Ethan and Emma had been in high spirits lately. Emma’s giggles filled the suite every morning, and Ethan had finally stopped asking so many questions about Alex’s absence.
Yet, even with everything falling into place, something felt… off.
It wasn’t the gallery. It wasn’t the twins. It was Alex.
He was in Dubai, dealing with what he’d called an “urgent work situation.” At first, I’d been furious when I couldn’t reach him for three days. But when he finally picked up, the sound of his voice melted my anger into worry. Alex was calm…too calm, like he was trying to hide something.
The man I knew wasn’t just distant; he was burdened. And no matter how much I pressed, he refused to open up.
That nagging feeling had stayed with me all morning, growing stronger by the hour. By the time the twins were down for their afternoon nap, I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed answers.
I paced the living room, clutching my phone tightly. My thumb hovered over Sebastian’s name. Alex’s half–brother might not have been my first choice for this conversation, but I couldn’t shake the feeling he knew more than he let on.
With a deep breath, I tapped the call button and brought the phone to my ear. It rang twice before Sebastian’s smooth, slightly amused voice came through.
“Christiana,” he said, drawing out my name. “To what do I owe this surprise?”
I wasn’t in the mood for his usual charm. “Sebastian, I need you to be honest with me.”
His tone shifted instantly, the lightness gone. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Alex,” I said, sinking onto the couch. My fingers gripped the armrest as I tried to steady my voice. “Something’s not right with him. He’s in Dubai, and when we spoke, I could tell he wasn’t okay. He’s hiding something, and I need to know what it is.”
There was a long pause on the other end, and I could almost hear Sebastian debating with himself.
“Sebastian,” I pressed, my voice firm. “If you know something, you need to tell me. Please.”
He sighed heavily, and when he spoke again, his voice was quieter, almost reluctant. “Christiana, you’re not going to like this.”
“Just tell me,” I demanded, my heart pounding in my chest.
“It’s Daniel Brooks,” he said, his words landing like a hammer. “He’s targeting Alex.”
I froze, my mind racing. “What? Why?”
“Because of you,” Sebastian said bluntly. “Daniel’s been holding a grudge against Alex ever since you turned him down. He’s been making me to topple Alex’s company, publicly humiliate him, and now… he’s coming after him personally.”
My grip on the phone tightened, my knuckles turning white. “You’re telling me this is all because of me?”
