With a jolt, the scene kicks off.

Kelvin felt a shiver run through his scalp. Like a puppet on strings, he turned stiffly to face Alexander,

who

wore a slight, knowing smile. Struggling, Kelvin managed to force a weak grin. “Sir, are you pulling my

leg?”

“Benefits? Threats Wanda’s more family to me than my own sister, and I…”

Mid–sentence, Kelvin snapped out of it, backpedaling fast. “Why the heck do I owe you an

explanation? Wanda’s business is her own!”

However, Alexander just chuckled.

Poor Kelvin, Wanda’s agent, was no Oscar winner. His fear was too raw, his act too rough around the

edges. Since Andrew, Hec, and Hunter had skedaddled, Alexander had dug up everything there was to

know about the Ledgers.

Marcus Ledger, the family’s third son, was a piece of work. He was cruel, the type who had never let

Wanda slip through his fingers.

“Alex, what in the world are you saying?”

Wanda, standing by Kelvin, had overheard their exchange and was shaking her head in dismay.

“You’ve got it all wrong about Kelvin. He’s not like that. We’re practically like family–”

With a soft chuckle, Alexander interjected, “Miss Briers, you’re probably clueless that while you and

Amber were in therapy, the Ledger’s chopper made a little visit to snatch you away

“And just three hours later, here comes Mister Kelvin Scruggs to fetch you, sporting a fresh bruise on

his forehead, looking like he’s been roughed up, and…”

He stepped closer and yanked back Kelvin’s jacket.

The sight was startling.

Kelvin was a patchwork of pain, his skin etched with the angry marks of rough pope and the dark

splotches of a brutal beating. Sores had opened up where his flesh had given way, and, there had not

been a moment to

slap on even a basic bandage.

“Kelvin!”

Wanda’s voice broke, tears streaming down her face as she took in the sight of his wounds, sobbing

uncontrollably. “Marcus did this, didn’t he? It had to be him! Let’s go to the cops, let’s take him to court!

I don’t care about my acting career anymore, I don’t care about anything–I’m ready to take him on!”

Kelvin crumpled, his hands covering his face as he crouched on the ground, a grown man reduced to

childlike

sobs.

He had turned his back on Wanda, but there she was, worried sick about him, ready to go to war on his

behalf.

The pain of empathy was too much to bear.

“Mister Kelvin Scruggs, I pride myself on being a good judge of character, and you’re not a bad guy.”

Alexander watched Kelvin with a steady gaze. “Speak. How did Marcus get to you? It must be life or

death for you to have turned on Miss Briers. I bet it’s…your family, isn’t it?”

Kelvin, swamped with guilt and fear for his parents, wept openly. “I just want Wanda to be safe, but

Marcus… He’s ruthless! He took my folks and used their lives to threaten me! If I don’t bring Wanda

back…”

His voice was strangled by sobs, unable to go on.

“Alex.”

At that moment, Amber had also gotten out of the Porsche, standing by Alexander’s side, her grip on

her

husband’s hand firm.

Just six months earlier, she had been swallowed by the same black pit of despair and knew all too well

the

storm of emotions Kelvin was weathering.

The choice was tearing him apart, the torment worse than death itself. Betraying Wanda would shred

his soul.

“Wanda, I’m so sorry!”

Kelvin collapsed to the ground, slapping his own face hard, tears streaming down his cheeks. “I never

should’ve lied to you, shouldn’t have broken your trust! Run, get as far away as you can. I’ll go back

and face Marcus alone. If he wants a showdown, I’ll risk it all. I’d rather die than not leave my mark on

him!”

Alexander watched with a nod of approval, applauding Kelvin’s display, then turned to Wanda, whose

face was etched with grief and rage. He smiled gently and said, “With the truth out, the rest will be

easy.

“Mister Kelvin Scruggs, give Marcus a ring. Tell him Miss Briers took the bait and she’ll be coming back

with

you tonight.”

“And she won’t be alone!”

Amber stood by, her eyes softening as she gazed at Alexander’s sharp, handsome profile, her heart

skipping a

beat.

This was her husband, Alexander.

With Alex stepping in, she knew they could handle any crisis, no matter how dire.
