Chapter 78: Unexpected Match “I can’t believe it. How is it they matched you with Ivan Conners?” Alexander asked, shaking his head at the dining table. “It’s still the quarter-finals. Ivan is most likely to be your competitor in the finals!”

Carlos shook his head. He answered, “I swear, I don’t know what the tennis association is thinking.” He paused, frowning at the idea of going against the world’s fifth-best tennis player. Since Erik took a break, Carlos’ potential final opponent would have been Ivan. “Something is not right.”

“She laughed. She fucking laughed at me. She said she had to so she could fuel money out of me, to keep living in a penthouse while having the great sex of her life!” A look of disdain became painted on Alexander’s face before he resumed. “I did not have to ask for the details. I saw how she was serious.” “She said it was so easy to drug me – I’m so fucking upset, man. No wonder my dick was always up for her,” Alexander admitted. “I feel so stupid – I felt…
