CH641 Alex, the Man Beneath
***
Back in BloodIron City…
It was well past midnight.
Alex awoke upon the bed in the Fortuna mansion's master bedroom, finding himself in the enviable position of being wrapped within the soft embrace of his three wives.
Carefully, he began to disentangle himself, taking great care not to disturb them.
He failed.
The women stirred slightly, but with a few gentle motions and quiet reassurances, he managed to coax them back into sleep.
Bare-chested and clad only in his sleeping trousers, Alex rose from the bed and made his way towards the balcony door.
From the second-floor balcony, the view offered a modest yet pleasant overlook of the surroundings. However, Alex paid it little attention. His thoughts were elsewhere.
Letting out a quiet sigh, he hopped up and settled onto the stone railing of the balcony, sitting facing outward into the night.
He sat there in silence, gazing into the distance as countless thoughts drifted through his mind.
