"What do you mean you were too late and someone else got her before you could?" Alex couldn't understand if his wife was for sale that someone would want to get her. What were they even talking about? He's made no enemies lately that someone would punish him, so who would kidnap his wife.
When you're no longer bad, that's when karma turns down on you, and starts with it's punishment but he won't allow that. And who said he's not bad? His silence for many months has made this people make a fool out of him. He's seen the inviting challenge from David but he choosed to ignore.
He's heard about Mr Dior's comment about him, even after giving their company the privilege of working with him, he also choosed to ignore. Trying so hard to avoid temptations flying from all corners. All Alex wanted was to be with his Hazel, for her to know he's better now.
