Love Unspoken

Chapter 140

Alexander's stride faltered, his head swiveling to lock eyes with Nicholas. His gaze was sharp, almost as if he were attempting to see straight through the man standing before him. Unfazed, Nicholas met Alexander's stare with unwavering confidence, secure in the validity of his words. "Is that so?" Alexander mused, a hint of derision tingeing his voice as he chuckled lightly, an idea beginning to form in his mind. "That's the only connection between us."
