The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 64: If It’s Meant To Be

“I repeat, I am not that man in the video with Hailey Mckenzie,” Carlos said at the Wimbledon press conference. He was frowning, and his face burned in anger. “And this interview was not supposed to be about my personal life. This is about tennis. I would appreciate questions about my upcoming matches.”

After Paris, Kate and Carlos left for London with his men. Kate did not want to be left behind and instead made a remote office for herself at the Diamond Hotel in London.

Resting for only a few hours, Carlos immediately jumped into his first responsibility and attended the tournament’s press conference on day one.

“He is really denying it, but what about the video?”

“I’d like to see this Carlos look alike if he really exists.”

Murmurs around the room reached Carlos’ ears, and he could see how he was being judged, silently opposed. Still, he answered the rest of the questions, avoiding those that were related to Hailey. It wasn’t the time yet. He still hoped that Gabin would come to his senses.

Plus, the whereabouts of Guillaume Bonnet remained to be a concern. Carlos did not know if it was entirely safe to reveal Kate. More than anything, he wanted the world to know about his Kate, but for her safety, he meant to keep Kate to himself, at least for now. He hoped one day, Guillaume’s body would be found soon, dead or alive.

As Carlos went about the interviews, his eyes wandered to his friend. Alexander belonged to the panel of athletes being questioned that day, and Carlos contemplated whether to tell him about Kendra’s involvement with Hailey.

After the press conference, the two friends had lunch at the same hotel where the event was held. As they ate, Carlos kept eyeing his friend.

“You are freaking me out, man. What’s with that stare?” Alexander sought, his brow raising.

Before Carlos could answer, Alexander’s phone went off. Carlos’ eyes landed on the screen and saw how it was Kendra calling. A scoff left Alexander’s lips. He said, “That’s probably the tenth time since I arrived in London.”

Alexander canceled the call and went on with his meal.

Carlos asked, “So, you haven’t spoken to Kendra?”

Shaking his head, Alexander replied, “Strangely. I thought it would be difficult. I was used to having her around. She was always at my penthouse, always calling. Even her nagging had been part of my life for the past three years. But! I’m getting through it. And it helps with you around… Every day seems better without her.” With a sigh, Alexander added, “Sometimes, I think back to our arguments and wonder how I survived our relationship.”

“Every time we fight, we end up in bed. It was weird, but it somewhat alleviated whatever issues we had,” Alexander said. “Then I’d feel guilty since she’d cry. Now that I think about it, the breakup was better. We never really solved our issues.”
