She didn't mind colliding with his nemesis to get it. But everything changed when her so called husband wanted her back. " What for? Why give a woman that wants your downfall flowers? "She asked while staring at him. " Isn't it obvious?" He whispered closing the space between them as Kate furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction. " Because she's the one after my heart. She'd shoot me and I'll still love her" he tells her stroking her hair. After everything he had put her through, does he deserve her? Unfold the misery as Alvin Reagan goes all out to make things right. NB: though the book stand on its own. It's better to read the other book named ' cruel Passion' for a better understanding of the story.
A little boy clung hands with a woman as they strolled to the amusement park then he suddenly stopped. The woman halts to detect the reason they were stopping and discovered he was immersed in staring at a child playing with his mother and frowned.
" Quinn, what's the matter? " The little boy's gaze didn't waver as it lingered on them a little longer then yanked her hands off him and walked away.
Cynthia gritted her teeth then chased after him knowing his importance in Alvin's life " Quinn!!" She kept calling which had him on his heels running off but didn't go far after all he was just a kid.
" Got yah" she boomed then grabbed him , passing him hard glare.
" I want to go home to my Dad" he demanded yanking her hands off him.
" Your dad is on his way. Be a good boy and behave" she said impatiently.
Quinn sighed looking into the distance and noticed a silhouette of a man exiting the car who looked like Colton. He looked further and smiled realizing it was him as he opened the car door for his dad.
His eyes lit up as he saw his father Stepped down from the car in a grey suit and ran to him leaving Cynthia in shock which turned to a wide grin as she saw the gorgeous man in front of her. Alvin bent down to pick him up and smiled rearranging his expensive suit.
" How is my boy doing?" He scoffed then rest his head on his shoulder and replied.
" Bored. It's good you're here now" he said as fluently as he could to make sure he hears him as he wasn't that fluent in speaking yet.
" That's not true. The playground is this way" Cynthia announced catching her breath then reached for him but he held his Dad tightly.
" Let's go son" he chuckled striding ahead of her.
Quinn's eyes lingered on the crowd as most kids were with their mom. None knew Cynthia wasn't his mother except them. Alvin noticed his lingering eyes and frowned crouching by his side.
" Wanna take a ride?" He asked as Quinn nods " c'mon boy I got you"
" Dad?" He called as Alvin veered around to hear him out.
" Did mom really leave?" He furrowed his brows but replied nevertheless.
" Yes, son. I told you not to mention her" his eyes fell. His heart still breaks whenever he thinks of her betrayal.
" I'm sorry Dad" Alvin sighed, picked him up then took him to an ice cream stand.
It has been almost four years since Kate left. He couldn't move on though he kept deceiving himself that he has but life goes on as he focused his attention on Quinn. Knowing his son needed a mother figure, Cynthia had volunteered to help out hoping to rekindle their love but again she had a rival Naomi: who had a better relationship with Quinn than she does.

The managers and staff of Simon resort amassed in the compound to welcome the CEO. A lady in a white bodycon jumpsuit stepped out of the car with black curly short hair in six inches stiletto heels. Everyone gave their best smiles which she didn't acknowledge.
" Welcome Miss Patterson," the manager said, as a matter of fact, she just hummed and strode in.
You can't blame her she has been through hell in the same city. The memory of her last encounter there had her in duress. No, she wasn't happy to be back though she had a motive, to make her husband Alvin Reagan pay and divorce him. She hated the fact that she was still his wife after three years. It'll be a turbulent ride in getting a divorce but she was determined to have it. That damned bastard.
