Love Unspoken

Kaitlyn got someone to hit up the big media outlets, and they set the press conference for three days later.

Kyle told Alexander, who was chilling on the ground feeding the dogs. Alexander didn't even blink. He just held a sausage, watching Buddy and Liberty go nuts over it. Three days later, Kaitlyn and Getty showed up at the press conference all dressed up. They got there, but besides their own crew, the place was dead. "What's the deal?" Getty asked, looking around.

Kaitlyn was just as puzzled. She turned to Oscar, "Where is everyone? Are they all running late?"

"Lemme check," Oscar said, pulling out his phone and dialing up his contacts.

Ten minutes later, he came back looking kinda sheepish.

"Kaitlyn, I can't get ahold of anyone. A few media outlets said they're swamped and short-staffed."

One outlet being short-staffed is whatever, but all of them? No way. Someone's definitely messing with them.

Getty, fuming, chucked the mic to the ground. "What's his game?"

Kaitlyn was pissed too, but also a bit nervous. She thought, 'Has Alexander gotten so powerful he can control all the media in Amber Bay?'

As they were debating whether to bail, the door swung open.

Getty's heart skipped a beat, but when she looked up, it was Alexander. Her smile vanished.

Kaitlyn and Getty exchanged a look, both wondering what he was doing there.

Alexander strolled to the front row, sat down, and smirked at them on stage.

All dolled up, Kaitlyn and Getty stood there looking like idiots.

"Alexander, was this your doing?" Kaitlyn demanded.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Alexander played dumb. "Kaitlyn, what are you talking about? I'm just here to support you."

He glanced around. "Isn't this a press conference? Where's everyone at?"

Kaitlyn's face twisted in anger. She stormed up to Alexander, trying to keep her cool. "What do you want?"

"Sorry, I don't get what you mean," Alexander said, looking all innocent.

Kaitlyn said, "Alexander, I know you're scared I'll spill your secret, so you pulled this stunt. Getty and I talked. I'll just say she's my daughter and won't out you." Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Should I say thanks?"

Kaitlyn shot back, "I raised you for years. Maybe I wasn't perfect, but I did my best, right?"

Alexander's smile turned icy. "Would my life be worse if you hadn't swapped the kids?"

Kaitlyn was speechless. Alexander's original status wasn't low either. Maybe without the swap, he'd be even better off.

She tried to explain, "Yeah, I was selfish, but I never treated you badly, did I? Without me, would you be where you are now?"

Alexander fired back, "Then tell me, if you hadn't swapped your daughter with me, would you have married Wayne and be standing here today?"

Kaitlyn was getting mad. "You're grown now. What's the point of bringing this up?"

Alexander looked at her calmly. "Do you still want those shares?"

Kaitlyn snapped, "Didn't you give them up willingly?"

Alexander's smile grew, making her uneasy. "Why are you smiling?" she asked.

Alexander tilted his head. "Did everyone get that?"

As he finished, red curtains dropped, revealing a bunch of media folks. All the cameras were aimed right at them.
