Alex disliked lying, as he was not afraid of anyone, but Joanna's presence made him fear for the first time. He was also concerned that revealing his identity would make him an easy target for his enemies.
These were the reasons why he had to keep his identity a secret. He had covered his tracks well, and there was no proof to link him to his past.
As for Logan's suspicions, he was still unaware of the true motives behind them.
"What..." Alex began to speak, but he was cut off by a commanding female voice.
"How can you claim that Alex is Salvador? That monster could never be my husband."
The representatives were taken aback and intimidated by her sudden assertiveness, but Alex felt a mix of pride and fear.
He feared that Joanna would hate him once she discovered the truth, and he knew exactly why. However, he reminded himself that this was just a contractual arrangement, so why should he care?
