CHAPTER TWELVE - Palpable Tension
The conversation continues… with Doyle and Gabriel
"But that's not why I called, baby, you see, I have missed you and your touches. Sometimes I wonder how she left you and why," Doyle said on the phone to Gabriel.
"Baby, I know I have also missed you, but I don't want us to mess this up, and please, I have begged you not to remind me of my past with Lila, it was in high school,", he added.
"Okay Love", she consented to his request
"Hope you're not calling me from the mansion," Gabriel quickly asked.
"Yes, I am, but no one is around," she said.
"Well, maybe not this time because we have to be careful, Alexander is not a weak bait, and you know that, if he finds out you're deep in this, he would not be merciful, I know him, you know him too, and we have both heard stories, Gabriel

Desire and Danger; A Billionaire's Game of Lust and Power CHAPTER THIRTEEN - Navigating the Dangerous World
Lila and Alexander drove in silence, both lost in their thoughts. They were on their way to meet with someone who might be able to help them with their situation. Alexander had been vague about who this person was or what they could do, but Lila feels he could be trusted. As they pulled up to a small house on the outskirts of town, Alexander turned to Lila. "Stay in the car," he said firmly. "I'll be back soon." “But let me come with you”, she responded immediately, but he insisted she stays in the car. Lila nodded, feeling a sense of unease settle over her. She watched as Alexander got out of the car and walked up to the front door of the house. He knocked twice before disappearing inside. Lila waited for what felt like hours, her anxiety growing with each passing moment. She couldn't shake the feeling and urge to go inside and find out what was happening and that something wasn’t wron

Lila woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing on the nightstand and realized she was in a medical facility. She groggily reached for it, rubbing the sleep from her eyes."Hello?" she answered, her voice rough with sleep."Lila," Alexander's voice came through the line, urgent and panicked. "How are you feeling, I dropped you at a nearby clinic so you could some rest and get your self checked out.""I guess i'm fine, she said" as the doctor walks in to check on her. "Good Morning Ms Cathleen" the doctor said as he approached the bed stand. There was a shock on her face because that wasn't her name and before she could reply Alexander cuts her short - "I gave them another name before I left so you couldn't get to be traced""Oh I get it now" she said feeling relieved. "Let me call you back Alexander, the Doctor needs my attention now" "Okay, please be safe and tell me whatever it is", the phone ends and the doctor continues with Lila."Hello Cathleen, I won't be expecting my monthly
Desire and Danger; A Billionaire's Game of Lust and Power CHAPTER FIFTEEN - The Rival Billionaire
Gabriel Duval sat in the backseat of his white 1995 Bentley Continental R. He collects antique, old huge toys, and this was the perfect choice for the occasion. He was meeting with a rich buddy, one who knows Alexander but is unaware of Gabriel's scheme against him. He was a bystander in the midst of the commotion, just knowing the two billionaires, Alexander and Gabriel, as his pals. He was enraged because his history was still like a possible present with a flaw. The woman he had loved had a new partner and had moved on quite quickly. "Yes, it was high school, but I never got over you Lila," Gabriel reflected. Gabriel already knew Alexander at this time, but Alexander knew nothing about him owing to Doyle, his new girlfriend. He was buried in his thoughts as he sat in his car, recalling how he met Doyle and where all these plots and schemes to bring Alexander's empire down had originated. **FLASHBACK ON HOW HE MET DOYLE** As Gabriel hastily traveled along the city's congested

His late-night phone calls, inexplicable disappearances, and frequent looking over his shoulder all added to her mounting anxiety.Lila couldn't get the impression that Alexander was up to something sinister and perilous. Her thoughts raced with possibilities—illegal operations, links to the criminal underworld, and the possibility that he himself was in danger. She realized she couldn't continue to disregard her intuition. She needed to find out the truth if she wanted to protect him or herself.Lila made a decision with determination in her eyes. She would seek the assistance of someone who could help her solve the enigma surrounding Alexander. Simon Thompson, a talented private investigator, has been mentioned in

Lila felt her heart race as Alexander swerved the car to avoid the oncoming vehicle. She clung to her seat, her knuckles turning white as they careened around a bend."What's that you want to tell me Lila," Alexander said through gritted teeth. He was already angry Lila nodded, her eyes fixed on the road ahead. She could see the other cars in her rearview mirror, its headlights flashing ominously. She didn't know how to start the story. Should she start with the fact that she was already 1 month pregnant, was she supposed to start with her already growing suspicion with Doyle and the picture she had found laying on the floor when she got to the house.She was tensed buy knew the right time was either now or never. As she took a deep breath…Lila gathered her courage and took a deep breath, preparing herself to reveal the truth to Alexander. But just as she was about to speak, a sudden screeching of tires and a blaring horn interrupted her thoughts. She turned her attention to the ro

Only thing left was how to deal with Doyle."Now we know where the information has been leaking from" Lila added as she hugged Alexander closely. They had to be perfect with their double deception, they only have to outplay the players of this dangerous game of desire.But as they stepped inside, Lila knew that their troubles were far from over. The secrets they had uncovered threatened to destroy everything they held dear including the new baby, and she didn't know if they could survive the flames that were sure to come.As they settled in for the night, Lila couldn't help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden beneath the surface of Gabriel's empire, and if they were ready to face the consequences of their actions.Lila spent the rest of the night pouring over the documents and files they had obtained from the investigator as be promised. It was clear that G

Lila sat by the edge of the luxurious pool, her feet gently skimming the water. Her mind was filled with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, and she couldn't help but question the path she had chosen. The weight of their dangerous game and the secrets they had uncovered threatened to suffocate her. She needed clarity, a moment to gather her thoughts amidst the chaos that surrounded them.Lost in her contemplation, Lila began to engage in a conversation with herself, seeking solace and understanding."Why did I let myself get tangled in this web of deception?" she whispered softly, her voice carried away by the gentle breeze. "I thought I knew who I was, but now everything feels so uncertain."She closed her eyes, allowing the warmth of the sun to caress her face. Memories of her life before Alexander flooded her mind, reminding her of the simplicity and innocence she had once cherished.

He grabbed it eagerly, his hand trembling with anticipation. It was Simon."Alexander, I have an update," Simon's voice cracked through the phone. "We've traced the source of the messages to an encrypted server, but the location is masked. It seems we're dealing with a highly skilled individual or a well-organized group."Alexander's heart sank at the news. The threat was far more sophisticated than they had anticipated.
