Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 148

Shortly afterward, the police showed up. While she blushed, Ava told them that this was all just a big misunderstanding, but to be diligent, they checked every inch of the apartment and balcony. But they found nothing, which was a comfort to me.

After the police and Ava’s landlord left, Richard offered to sleep on the couch, and we gladly took him up on his offer. We got ready for bed and even stayed in the same room because we were still so scared.

As Ava sat down on a chair in the corner of her bedroom, I got into bed even though I wasn’t the least bit tired.

“This whole thing with the Windsor’s is getting out of hand,” Ava said and scrubbed a hand down her face. “I’m starting to become scared for our safety. Do you think that you could ask Alexander for help taking them down?”

Her question made my palms sweat. I was scared to ask Alexander for any help because I was afraid of what kind of strings would be attached to any favor that he did for me. What would he ask for in return? Even if he didn’t ask for a favor to pay him back, I would still be afraid of owing him. Then, I wouldn’t be able to refuse him anything in the future. It would be like making a deal with a very handsome

I sighed and organized my thoughts before I replied to Ava’s question.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I finally said. “I don’t want to lose myself in this whole situation. That’s exactly what happened with Ethan when we were married, and I can’t let that happen again. If we make a deal with Alexander and his team, I’m afraid that he’ll ask for

reaction.

*Olivia*

To my complete shock, Ava didn’t seem angry with me. She had a thoughtful expression.

I sat up in bed and waited for her reply.

“You know, it’s probably for the best that we don’t involve Alexander right now,” Ava said after a moment. “I keep thinking about that missing boy’s parents who passed away. The real reason that they died was because the mother kept getting involved and asking questions about the Windsor family. If we ask for Alexander’s help, that would just paint an even bigger target on our backs since he is such a high- profile person.”

I grinned at her. “Sounds like a plan to me,” I said, but my voice shook slightly, thinking about the possible danger that Ava would be in because she was helping me.

“Everything will work out for the better,” Ava said with confidence.

I just hoped that she was right.

The next morning, Ava went with me to the police station. I had called ahead and told them that I wanted to write a letter of understanding for Chole Windsor. While we were walking up to the doors, Ava swore under her breath.

I looked up and saw Ethan hurriedly walking toward us.

“The station called me and told me that you’re going to write the letter!” Ethan said, his relief evident in his eyes. “You really are doing the right thing, Olivia. You won’t regret this.”
