Alex's truth

Lena felt torns between her gratitude for Alex's help and her growing uneasy about his motive.

she began to wonder if she was merely a prown in Alex's game.

lena confronted Alex about her discoveries,

"what drove you to go after my father"?"lena asked her eyes narrowing.

Alex's expression turned guarded."My sister lost everything due to your father's actions.i wanted revenge".

Lena's grip on her coffee cup tightened."and now ?".

"I still want justice".Alex's said"But our goals align now.I want to bring him down".

Lena searched his eyes for sincerity."i want to trust you,but I'm not sure i can".

Alex's gaze held hers."I'm not asking for blind trust,lena.just work with me,and let's get justice."

lena hesitated,then nodded."okay,but I'm watching you."

" i think I've found something",alex said, his eyes scanning the document." A shell company linked with your father's business.it's been making large transactions to government officials."

Lena's eyes widened."That's proof of bribery.we can take this to authorities".

Alex nodded."But we need more.let's dig deeper."

As they continued their investigation,they uncovered more evidence.

"we have proof,father",lena said,her voice firm.

"we've uncovered the shell company,the bribery....its over".

Her father's expression turned cold." you'll never take me down,lena.i have protection.you'll regret crossing me".

Alex stepped forward,"We have the financial records.we know everything".

Lena's father sneered " you'll never be able to touch me.my connection run too deep."

" you have no idea what you're dealing with lena" her father said ,his voice dripping with malice." The thing I've done,I've done for you,for our family's future.you're just too blind to see it ."

Lena's eyes narrowed." what are you talking about?"

Her father leaned forward." your mother's death.......

it wasn't an accident.i did what i had to do to protect our family."

lena felt like she'd been punched in the gut.

Lena's world was turned upside down.she couldn't believe what her father was saying.

"no," lena whispered shaking her head." that's not true.you're lying."

Her father expression was cold,calculating."I'm telling you the truth,lena you need to understand the sacrifice I've done for this family".

lena felt numb,like she was floating above her body.she didn't know what to believe or who to trust.

Lena's eyes locked onto her father's"tell me everything".

she demanded."what happened to mom?why did you do that?"

her father signed his expression a mix of defence and resignation" your mother was going to leave me,take you with her,she had discovered some......discrepancies in the business".

Lena's anger and pain boiled over" you killed her?for money?for power?"
