All Chapters of You're Mine: An Unexpected Love : Chapter 31 - Chapter 39

Alexander's POVWhen I got to his house, bodyguards were everywhere as usual, all armed. The moment I reached the entrance, one of them blocked my path.“Who are you?” he asked.The idiot had some nerve asking me that. “Move,” I said calmly, my voice low and controlled. I didn’t want to kill an innocent man. That wasn’t my style.He still didn’t move. The anger inside me snapped instantly. I punched him hard across the face and he dropped to the floor immediately. Maybe that would help reset his brain.Another man rushed toward me immediately. It was Philip, Maxwell’s right hand man in the mafia world. “Who’s this?” I thundered, pointing at the bodyguard still groaning on the floor.“He’s new,” Philip answered quickly. “Sorry for the mis..”I didn’t let him finish. I threw the door open so hard it slammed violently against the wall. “Maxwell!” My voice echoed through the house.I stormed inside, my eyes locking onto every bodyguard in the room. All of them froze immediately. I ignored

Alexander's POVThe moment I got home, I went straight to my study. I needed to check something.I sat down, opened my laptop and searched for Emma's background report the private investigator had sent me weeks ago. Leaning back in my chair I scrolled through the file her name, family, school, friends. Routine stuff. Then I scrolled further and a picture appeared. Emma. In a hospital bed. Bruises covering her face, her arms, every visible part of her. She looked small in that bed. Smaller than she had any right to look.I leaned back slowly and inhaled deeply.For over two years, I had been longing for her without even knowing she was living through hell.I closed the laptop.The clock on the wall read three in the morning. She would be asleep by now. I pushed back from the desk and made my way to our room and eased the door open.She was there. Asleep on her side, breathing quietly, her face peaceful in a way that had no idea what I was carrying.Just looking at her made every word

Emma's POV "Good to see you, Alexander," she said, her smile polished and easy the moment she reached us.I quickly glanced at Alex. To my surprise, he was smiling too."Good to see you too, Maya." They exchanged a quick cheek greeting like people who had done it a hundred times before. "What are you doing here?""Business," she said. "But I'm done now so I thought I'd check in here and decompress a little." Then she turned and looked at me like she had just remembered I was standing there.I had almost rolled my eyes. Almost."Emma, right?" she said, smiling at me before looking back at Alex."Yes, she is," Alex said, and his hand came to rest at my back.She looked at me again, this time properly. "I've been wanting to meet you. You're so much more beautiful in person, the pictures really don't do you justice.""Thank you," I said, and I meant it even if I was still quietly deciding how I felt about her."And you are?" I asked."Oh God, where are my manners." She laughed and exten

Emma's POV I stopped walking and turned around, half expecting him to be right behind me.He wasn't.That made me even more pissed off. What was I expecting from a workaholic. I hissed under my breath and headed for the beach.I found a quiet spot and sat down. The beach was beautiful. Couples everywhere, some making out, others laughing and splashing in the water without a care in the world. Watching them only made me anger at Alex burn hotter A familiar voice pulled me out of my thoughts."Hi, Emma."It was Maya. She was in a bikini, her skin glowing in the afternoon sun."Can I join you?" she asked."Sure," I said, though a part of me wanted to say otherwise.She sat across from me, sipping her fruit drink, and then she looked me dead in the eyes."Isn't Alexander too much for you to handle?" The question caught me off guard. What kind of business partner asks something like that."Not at all," I replied, keeping my voice steady even though I could feel annoyance rising in my ch
