Divorced Heiress
Chapter 87

For a moment I thought that the heat would leave my body, that I would run out of air or faint, but all of that disappeared when I read that letter for the fifth time, which for anyone else was an anonymous letter, but not for me.

I knew perfectly well who wrote this just by looking at the handwriting, and they wrote it specifically so that I would know, despite the few words, they made sure that I received the message perfectly. I knew who was behind this and a laugh completely infected me, I couldn't stop laughing under the concerned and confused looks of everyone present, even with the accelerated beats of my heart that were nothing but joy and full of hope. -Sarah, what's going on? What does the letter say?- Alexander, who was near me, took the paper from my hand and read it more than once, he looked at both sides and from corner to corner, searching for the reason for my relentless laughter. -Who sent this?-

When Alexander asked that question, I wondered if it would be a good idea to say it, although if they preferred to remain anonymous, maybe it was convenient that no one knew and pretend that I ignored that information. -I want to see what it says.-

Abby snatched the letter from Alexander, just as he did with me, and her brow furrowed in confusion. Then, I realized that she was not aware of everything that her family had done, she only knew that Paul took over Doinel by cheating in a tragic moment and that her mother supported him, but nothing more. So, I stopped laughing.

-Okay, I feel aggrieved. Who wrote this? And why were you laughing like a crazy person?- Abby seemed scared that her last name was written and soon, Vincent also snatched the letter to read it carefully, at the end he looked at me with a furrowed brow. From his look, I knew that he was thinking the same thing as me, and that was that it was time to bring Abby up to speed on everything and make her understand that she was not included in the Dubois package, it was time for her to understand the reason for that message and to know that she had nothing to fear.

-Abby, sit down, there's something you need to know.- Vincent took the initiative and Abby didn't want to obey him due to their recent arguments, but when she saw that we all had serious expressions, she decided to sit in the vacant chair and looked at each of us, waiting for someone to speak up.

-I don't know what this is about, but I want you to tell me everything, no matter how painful it may be. If my family is involved in whatever you're going to tell me, I want to know all the details.-

I took a deep breath, feeling sorry for my friend, it would be hard for her to find out that each member of her family had committed a crime and the reasons behind so many tragedies.

Among the three of us, we patiently and tactfully told her everything, from the moment my father rejected her mother, the attempted kidnapping when I was a child, the plans they made with Rachel to ruin my marriage with the help of a hitman, the embezzlement of the company during the period her father was in charge of Doinel, the accident of my parents caused by hers, and finally, the takeover of the company, adding how Paul got my father's signature. None of us spared any details, we told her everything, including the people involved and suspected in each of the Dubois' undertakings.

Abby's cheeks were soaked with tears of frustration and anger, she couldn't believe that her family would dare to go to such lengths because of her mother's obsession. She kept blaming herself over and over again for insisting for so long that I get together with Paul, for her, her brother was a good man, she always had the illusion that we would be a couple because we deserved each other.

If there was anything she had longed for many years, it was to see her brother with her best friend, but now, that idea disappeared from her mind, being replaced by a great disgust for her family.

-So they... all this time they...- She spoke with a choked voice as she got up from her seat, unable to complete a single sentence. It broke my heart to see her like that, so affected and disappointed.

-They are damn bastards, they destroyed the family that they always boasted as their best friends, ruined your marriage, and I insulted Alexander so much thinking he was the worst piece of trash, they made your parents disappear, they took the company from you. And do you all think you're just going to sit there and do nothing? They must pay for each of their crimes, yet they're enjoying their filthiness.- Abby shouted as she walked back and forth, processing all the information. -Thank you for the compliment, I appreciate your honesty.- Alexander said next to me.

-During this time, we've been looking for evidence, but all we have is the evidence of money laundering. They haven't left any traces or witnesses of their crimes. Sarah already spoke to Rachel to get her to confess, but they have her threatened. She's afraid to speak up. As for the plane crash, we confirmed that it was tampered with before takeoff and the surveillance camera videos have been erased. Even the private investigator who was following their steps has disappeared. We have nothing to report them, and what we have is not enough for what they deserve.-

Alexander took charge of explaining why we were at a standstill, and she remained silent as if she was thinking. But after a few seconds, she covered her face with her hands. She didn't know what to do or how to help. Her family left no loose ends, or at least that was what she believed. The message I received gave me hope that it was just a matter of time before everything came to light.

-I am so sorry about all of this. If I had known my family's plans from the beginning, believe me, I would have found a way to inform you or prevent it somehow. I... I... Abby couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. My heart ached seeing her that way. Vincent approached her and embraced her while I stood up from my seat to give her a comforting hug. But Vincent shook his head, realizing my intentions, and caressed her hair in an attempt to calm her down. -Sarah, Alex, leave me alone with Abby.- He said over Abby's head.

I looked at him hesitantly, worrying about her state, but I knew that Vincent, apart from upsetting her, could also calm her down. I nodded and picked up the letter from the table before leaving the office with Alexander.

I let out a tired sigh upon arriving in the living room, and Alexander surprised me by intertwining his fingers with mine. I looked into his eyes but couldn't guess what was going through his mind.

-You know who sent you the letter, right?-

It sounded more like an affirmation than a question. I couldn't deny it, but I also didn't admit it. I was still confused, unsure if it was right to reveal that information. However, we were all in this together, and in the future, I might regret not letting my allies know. After pondering for a few seconds, I decided to tell Alexander. I had witnessed his efforts to help me solve the problems I was facing, even though there were no positive results. He hadn't given up for a second.

-Let's go somewhere more private.- I said, looking around, even though there was no one else but the staff. I preferred to be cautious when disclosing what I knew. I tugged at Alexander's hand without waiting for a response and led him upstairs to my room. Once inside, I locked the door and walked to the middle of the room, my gaze fixed on the letter in my hand. It was the sign I had been waiting for days, the sign that gave me hope and brought life back to my soul.

-It was your parents.- Alexander's voice resonated through the room, and a smile formed on my face. A pleasant sensation ran through my body just from hearing those words from someone else's lips.

-My dad wrote it.- I confessed, tears threatening to overflow from my eyes. But they were tears of happiness. I was happy to know they were alive, safe, and not only that, they had taken the opportunity to create a smokescreen and find a way to expose their 'best friends. They were so clever that they have been one step ahead all this time.

Without warning, Alexander's arms wrapped around my waist from behind, and he pressed his chest against my back. I closed my eyes, feeling his warm breath on my neck, causing a pleasant tingling sensation in my nape, as he whispered in my ear. -You have no idea how happy I am. Your parents are alive. Everything is falling back into place, and my place is with you, with our son, with my family, our family.-

My heart skipped a beat upon hearing his last words. I opened my eyes and looked at my hands before broaching a topic that had been bothering me.

-What about your family in New York? Your mother, your grandfather, Gina, Alexis...- I asked directly, and Alexander hissed, not allowing me to finish my sentence.

-The only one who counts is Alexis and he is taking care of the company. None of them will interfere in my life again. He responded without hesitation and left a kiss on my shoulder that made me tremble in secret.

-Even if you only count on Alexis, the others count on you. What makes you think they will stop meddling in your affairs? In the past, your mother and Gina...- I was interrupted once again.

-You said it yourself, in the past. And had I known that you were not treated well by them, I would have taken action in due time. Now that I know, I won't let them meddle with you or our son again. Right now, you are the most important thing in my life and I won't lose you.-

Those words were so sincere that they touched the most sensitive fiber of my heart. So, I dropped the letter to the floor as emotions took over my body and actions.

I turned towards Alexander without moving an inch away from his body or his warm touch and looked at him for a few seconds, feeling my heart start to race at his confused gaze fixed on mine. Then, I pressed my lips against his without a care in the world. A gasp escaped his lips, a sign that I had taken him by surprise, but he moved his lips gently, reciprocating my unexpected kiss, while his hands clung to my back as if he didn't want to let me go. However, I wasn't going to go anywhere. In this moment, I was only capable of thinking about the sweet taste of his lips and how much I missed him, despite us being in this situation not long ago.

His tongue brushed against my lips, asking for permission to enter and meet mine, while my trembling hands slid down his chest to the knot of his tie. A shiver ran through me from head to toe, preventing me from thinking about anything other than the desire to have more than just a kiss from Alexander.

Without stopping kissing him, with increasing intensity, I untied the knot of the tie and with his help, I got rid of the gray suit jacket.

In the next second, he pulled back just a little from me to look at me with his eyes shadowed by the desire reflected in his face and his ragged breath. He was looking for any sign of regret in my eyes, but all he managed to do was make me kiss him again while I nervously unbuttoned his impeccable and smooth shirt, to strip him of the garment that covered his well-worked torso.

I pressed closer to his body, as if that was possible, when I felt his fingers dancing on my back until they stopped at the zipper of my dress and with torturous slowness, he lowered it, exposing my back, causing my skin to tingle, while I enjoyed the unrestrainable sensations that his kisses and his fingers' caresses produced, reaching my shoulders to lower the dress that was starting to get in the way, leaving me only in my underwear.

A gasp escaped my lips as his hands roamed from my waist to my bare thighs and lifted me effortlessly, making my legs skillfully wrap around his hips. He took advantage of the moment to walk to the bed, which was a few steps away from us, leaving a trail of kisses on my neck down to my shoulders.

He laid me down on the bed, positioning himself above me without letting all his weight fall on my body. For a moment, his lips left my neck and he looked directly into my eyes with a mixture of tenderness and l**t. His cheeks were flushed and I could swear that mine were too, thanks to the heat of the situation.

-I missed you, Sarah, I missed everything about you. He whispered hoarsely against my lips, making me shiver, and before I could respond, he attacked my lips fiercely, not holding back the desires he had been repressing, while his hands explored every inch of my skin as if he wanted to engrave it in his memory.

And I didn't lag behind, as my body remembered and naturally reacted to his pleasurable touch, recognizing its one and only owner.

I clung to his back, feeling his tense muscles under my touch and the hardness beneath his pants rubbing against my femininity with frenzy, stealing from me the occasional moan of pleasure with his name.

Eager to feel him in his fullest splendor and inside me to extinguish the fire that consumed me completely, I took the liberty of unbuttoning his pants.

And in a quick and agile movement, Alexander stripped himself of his pants and boxers, leaving himself completely naked on top of me. With that, my nerves increased considerably, as if it were the first time we were in this intense situation, Alexander noticed it and kissed me sweetly, while caressing my hair, making my nerves begin to dissipate.

Alexander's hands wandered over my breasts, over the fabric of my bra, sending waves of pleasure to every part of my body, especially to my already damp center.

At the moment he decided to get rid of that garment, he stopped when we heard some knocks on the door.

-Mom?-
