Anna arrived at the beach with her purse when she saw that both father and daughter were having fun while Scott was trying to gain his niece's attention. At first, Anna's gaze landed on Alex's and Kiara's smile that was almost reaching their eyes. 

They looked extremely happy and she prayed in her heart that in this world, no power can take this smile away from their faces. She walked closer to them and cleared her throat to gain her trio's attention towards her. 

When Kiara turned around, she saw her mother standing there and she excitededly ran to her and tugged her jeans.

"Mommy!! See, I and my uncle made that castle while Scott's uncle helped us to collect sand! See, See!" Kiara pointed at the castle that was made on the side of the beach and smiled, "That is beautiful princes."

"Thank you, mommy! You know what? I had no idea that such a beautiful castle can be made on the beach." Kiara visited the beach a few times and at that time as well, she never thought that a castle can be made in such away. 

Doing it and making it with Alex was pretty much fun for her, and  she really enjoyed it to the fullest. Although, he wasn't her father but still, his vibe matched hers and she always felt close to him.

Anna rubbed Kiara's hair slowly when she replied her back, "That is nice. Alright, go and spend some time with Scott's uncle. Momma needs to talk with Alex's uncle. Okay?" Kiara nodded her head and ran to Scott.

Scott was on the top of the moon when he finally got successful to gain Kiara's attention and was able to play with her, all thanks to his sister-in-law. He passes his brother a wink to which he receives a cold glue from him and then looks at Kiara away from there so that both the people can talk with each other freely.

But  at the same time, Scott did notice that his brother was still acting cold towards Anna and  inwardly, he thought, 'Oh brother, don't scare sister in law otherwise she will not even look at you. She has dozens of options just like you..' he really hopes tat his brother won't mess this up.

Alex looked at Anna, with his hand inside his pocket but still, he looked handsome and she can already see that the sunset light falling on his face made his neckline look amazing. 

For some reason, she gulped the saliva in her mouth and spoke, "You enjoyed with her..right?" She just wished to start a conversation with him, but it was very much difficult for her to know how to start it especially when Alex was painting a stoic face. 

Yes, she made a mistake in the past by misjudging him but now, when she is trying to mend things again, why is he acting like a stubborn kid? She really wished to smash his face but held the power against her coincidence. 

"Who doesn't enjoy with their children? I'm not less than any other father so obviously, I enjoyed.." he kept his answer minimal, and once again, there was an awkward silence between them. But she has to ask him why she came here. 

"Alex..I wished to know how you were saved that day. I mean, you'll feel great height.." 

"You are curious how I was able to survive despite falling being killed, by falling for such great height and being shot in the hand. Right?" His tone was sarcastic and she can see his hostile nature towards her. God knows why he is acting like this but this isn't making her happy at all. 

But she can't blame him entirely as well. It has been difficult for him to digest and hate someone he loved so dearly and broke his trust completely. 

Lowering her head, Anna nodded her head and Alex just sighed. 'C'mon Alex! How can you be rude to her when it wasn't her mistake as well! It Was Sierra who forced her to trust Chris's words.' mentally he cursed himself as well.

"We shall walk and I will tell you about that.." Once again, Anna followed his lead when they both started walking on the beach, barefoot. 

She kept her mouth shut for the next few minutes, because it was more better for her to keep  her things to herself.

He was responsible for acting as a joker just now and he really wished to slap himself but his ego won't allow him. Still, he said, "When I fell from the heights, I landed on the ground with my ribs broken, and obviously I was bleeding. I passed out immediately and  when I woke up, I realized that I Was in a hospital ward."

"My grandfather brought me to the hospital when he found  me and there, I just woke up for a few minutes before I passed out once again, and there, I went into comas for years." 

Anna just listened from Klara that he was in a coma. At first,  she wasn't able to believe her words and fly that maybe, she listened something wrong but now, when she listed the same thing from him, she can feel her heart squeezed immediately.

But he didn't notice her expressions instead he continued, "From there, I was transported to somewhere else, and there, my mom and Scott lived. I lived with them for years and then, my grandfather told me that he wishes me to take over the Steve business that was left by my father and brother." 

"I was reluctant. Or you can say that I didn't even wish to. My only aim was to prove my innocence to you and for this, I need more power and connections. If I wanted to come in front of you, clean., then I needed to take over otherwise I won't have that much power to investigate and track other things."

Anna did notice the way he felt. His eyes were dark and at this point, his aura dropped as well. Not lying, she should actually have cared but it was evident that he doesn't wish to continue to go in the same way as his father and brother. 

He wanted to leave everything and go away from everything that had happened but only after he proved his innocence to her. "You were hurt by my actions, Alex.."

But in return, he faced her and stopped walking. Instead of getting angrier, a smile came over his lips and she has seen this smile many times in her life which almost makes her heart skip a beat. 

"You did what you felt was right. Yes, when I was young, I felt that you were wrong but when I grew up, I saw it from another perspective. You have hurt me but you also got hurt by me.. Sierra wanted revenge and if I presented the I was the William, won't  she be really angry?"
