Chapter 89

"Who the hell are you?" Charles snarled, voice cracking into a shrill pitch.

Alex stepped into the office, calm and deliberate.

His eyes swept over the scene before settling on Sophia.

Even from across the room, he could see her condition was anything but normal.

She prided herself on never feeling fear, but when she met Alex's gaze, a strange chill gripped her.

For the first time in years, her knees weakened, and her hands trembled.

She released Sophia's hair, letting the young woman slump back onto the sofa. "Good," Àlex murmured, moving closer to Sophia.

Cathy studied him, unsettled.

He seemed like any fit young man-handsome, maybe-but nothing special.

Still, something about him set her nerves on edge.

Bernard sighed, rolling his eyes.

She hated damaging her new toys.

Alex's lips curved into a faint smirk. "I'd be more concerned about him breaking his own bones."
