Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia novel Chapter 55

Sarah's POV.

As I stood in front of the towering building housing Alex's office, my heart was heavy with sadness and determination. The guard, who knew me as Mrs. Hamilton, offered a polite salute, but my mind was too preoccupied to return his friendly gesture. The gravity of the situation had consumed me entirely, leaving no room for pleasantries.

Pressing the button for the 60th floor where Alex's office resided, I walked with a sense of urgency, my steps guided by a singular purpose - to confront him and seek answers to the questions that haunted me.

As I approached his office, his secretary tried to intervene, her professional duty compelling her to uphold the ongoing meeting's privacy. However, her attempts to halt me were futile; nothing would deter me from facing Alex.

"Ma'am, you cannot go inside. A meeting is going on, and I have orders that no one can enter the boardroom," she warned, trying to assert her authority.

I paid her no mind, my determination unwavering. Nothing could stop me now; I needed to see Alex immediately.

Despite my protests, she persisted in her efforts to block me. The audacity of her actions angered me. How dare she presume to understand my place in Alex's life? She was privy to his affairs, well aware of the other women who would visit him here. That knowledge fueled my disdain for her, and I shot her a scornful look as I pushed open the heavy door to the boardroom.

The abrupt entrance drew the attention of everyone present, and their faces displayed a mixture of anger, shock, surprise, and confusion. I paid no attention to their reactions, my gaze fixated solely on Alex, who stood in the center of the room, looking at me with a stunned expression etched across his face.

"I need to talk to you," I declared, my voice firm despite the emotions swirling inside me.

He shook his head, appearing to be the picture of innocence, and that only fueled my anger further. How could he act like nothing had happened? It was infuriating. My emotions reached an extreme, and without thinking, I moved forward and delivered a punch to his chest, a physical manifestation of my hurt and betrayal. "You cheated on me!" I shouted, the words escaping my lips in a mix of pain and anger. "How dare you insult our marriage like this?"

In response, Alex's expression turned from confusion to frustration, denying my accusation vehemently. "What the hell are you talking about, Sarah? Who told you all this nonsense? There is nothing like that," he retorted firmly.

My anger surged as I remembered the evidence that led me to confront him. "Yeah? And what about that video?" I scowled, my mind flashing back to the painful sight of him kissing that mysterious girl. "I have seen everything with my own eyes. Don't you dare deny it."

"It must be a misunderstanding. Who showed you what video? Tell me the name and call that person in front of me. I will make everything clear," he declared with an air of confidence, his voice unwavering. His eyes bore into mine, but I couldn't help feeling intimidated by his imposing presence. It seemed as though no one would dare defy him.
