Love Unspoken

Oliver's voice crackled over the phone, "Abigail, steer clear of Quinn for a while."

Abigail froze mid-stride as she mounted her motorcycle. "Why?"

"Alexander's in some deep trouble. You don't want to get mixed up in it," Oliver explained.

"That's actually great news. Spill the details so I can savor it," Abigail said, a grin spreading across her face. Oliver chuckled, "Why are you so thrilled?"

"Because I hope he lands in jail. If that ever happens, I'd throw a party," Abigail laughed.

"That might not happen," a voice said from behind her, clearly not Oliver's.

Abigail's smile froze, a chill running down her spine. She turned around slowly, clutching her phone.

There stood Alexander, his presence unnoticed until now.

"Are you a ghost? How do you sneak up like that?" Abigail asked.

Alexander had a cold smile on his lips as he looked down at her. "Maybe you were just too happy to notice."

Abigail pouted. She had been too caught up in her thoughts of Alexander's misfortune to pay attention to her surroundings.

She didn't bother to hide her feelings and shot back, "It's not just me. Plenty of people would be thrilled. Think about how many enemies you've made."

Alexander shrugged. "Lots of people want me gone, but none of them can pull it off. Neither can you."

Abigail laughed. "Don't be so cocky. You can't always win."

With that, she grabbed her helmet, started her motorcycle, and sped off.

Alexander watched her leave, his eyes following her until she was out of sight. The golden sunset bathed him in warm light, but his eyes remained cold.

Back inside, Olivia mentioned that Quinn had been sleeping all day, even dozing off while Abigail was around.

"Want to take Quinn for a walk?" Olivia suggested.

Alexander ignored her and headed upstairs. As expected, Quinn was still asleep.

He stood by the bed for a moment, then walked to the window, opened it, and stepped onto the balcony to smoke.

Later, he got a call. Stanley's body had been found in an abandoned kiln in the suburbs. The police discovered it first, followed by Walter, who made sure he wouldn't be implicated.

Since Stanley's last call was with Alexander, he was brought in for questioning. The situation blew up online, with someone stirring the pot, making it a big deal.

Previously, Alexander's incident with Getty had made him a popular figure. He was seen as the perfect man, and became even more famous than some celebrities. Hence, when this new incident with Stanley's death came to light, people were shocked.

Many had believed their favorite celebrities might do shady things, but not Alexander. Now, after hearing of Stanley's death, they concluded that Alexander was ruthless. Some even speculated that Wayne's death and the lawyer's murder were also his doing.

The rumors spread, forcing the authorities to investigate. Sometimes, being in the spotlight wasn't a good thing.

Quinn slept all day and woke up in the middle of the night.

Since the night before last, she had only eaten breakfast, and now she was very hungry.

Olivia, who had been sleeping on the couch in the living room, woke up when she heard the door open. As she opened her eyes, she saw Quinn stepping out of her room.
