over his head, and Ben would be a nervous-wreck just waiting for the day he would release them or send them
to his wife.
Ben's face becred, and at this point, he completely lost his temper. He struggled to sit up in bed, but he
could only prop himself a little bit because of his injuries. “You better giveall the copies of the pictures you
have!” he snarled. “Or | swear that | will ruin you! You will wish that you've never been born!”
Alexander scoffed, unaffected by his threats. “Good luck with that.” Then, he turned on his heel and ushered me
down the hallway. While we were walking through the busy hospital, Alexander noticed my curious expression.
“Along with the pictures | took on our trip, | also hired a private investigator to catch Ben cheating on his wife.” A

wheelchair with a young girl in it to pass. “How did you capture the evidence?”
“I knew that Ben was interested in a young actress, so | set up a trap by recommending Ben to fund a movie.

assuredwhen he noticed the worried look in my eyes. “I'm going to personally fund the movie and make
sure that the actress has a starring role.”
“Wow, “I breathed out. “I'm glad that Ben's horrible behavior was photographed, but I'm sorry that the actress
had to be put through that situation.”
too.” he agreed.
We were silent as we walked the rest of the way to the busy parking garage. Right before we got to his car,
Alexander turned to me. “I'm not going back to the office. | have lunch plans with my friend Duke.”
“Oh, should I take a taxi cab back to the office...” | trailed off.
He grabbed my hand and gavea flirtatious wink. “No, you're coming with me.”
This shouldnt have madeas happy as it did. Alexander drove us to a fancy Thai restaurant. When Alexander
toldthe name, my stomach stiffened in recognition.
“Have you been there before?” he asked curiously and looked over atbecause we were stopped at a light.
“Yes,” | answered evasively. “Once or twice.”
| was quiet for the rest of the ride there. When we pulled up to the restaurant, | bit my lip, and my leg bounced.
Alexander noticed my reaction, and his brow furrowed. “Do you have a history with this restaurant or
