Chapter 49 Drugged

Alexander's POV The vacation was over, and I felt the weight of reality crashing down on me. For one whole week, I had managed to escape the mess of my life, the tangled web of lies and deceit that surrounded me. But now, as we made our way back, everything that had been on pause returned to full force. Vanessa’s presence, the constant tension between us, the ever-present shadow of Kimberley. It all came rushing back like a flood I couldn't control.
