FIVE YEARS LATER It's been five years since Piper and Alex got married and it has also been five years since Alexia has been in a coma. Of course, a lot has happened within five years. Charles and Emily also got married months after Alex's wedding to Piper, Mr. McCall was rich again and his business was going well. Alex attended a lot of therapy sessions and he was starting to get better, at the same time, he managed to finish high school and graduate, he also went to college and he was done. Alex is now twenty-five years and he runs most of the Miller's and his father’s company. Alex is well known all over London and outside it as the best businessman, he also has his business and he has achieved a lot over the years. He now has his own estate and companies too, it all seemed like so much work for him at first but with time, everything started to work out. His wife Piper was also doing fine, she still is a celebrity, and every day, she gains a lot of followers. Why wouldn't

Alexia walked into her room slowly and sighed, she sat on her bed and a tear rolled down her eyes. She started crying and she held her hair, she cried out loud and lay on her bed. Mrs. McCall stood at the entrance of her room and heard her cry, she sighed and shook her head sadly, she really didn't have a choice. Alex smiled as Piper hugged him, she giggled and pulled away from the hug. “What are you doing here?” He asked surprised since she barely visits him in the company.“I came to see you, I am actually done with my shoot.” She replied and sat at his table.“So how did it go?” Alex asked as he stood in front of her.“It went well.” She replied and he pecked her lips.“We are at the office Alex, don't start here.” Piper giggled and laughed as Alex kissed her neck.“So? It's my office, I own the company so I can do whatever I want in it.” He replied and kissed her again.“Don't you think it's time for us to have kids?” Piper suddenly asked and he froze.“Come on, I want to have

Alexia walked around for a while as she kept thinking if her next move, she checked the time on her phone and realized it was evening already. She came across a bat and sighed before walking into it, she walked to the counter and sat down, she sighed and ruffled her hair.“What would you like to have ma’am?” The guy behind the counter asked and frowned.“Who the hell are you referring to as ma’am? Do I look old to you?” Alexia snapped and the guy laughed.“Of course, you look like a teenager a bit but you are not and I am trying to show some respect. Am sorry I upset you.” The guy apologized and Alexia sighed.“It is fine, just give me your best alcohol.” She said and the guy looked at her confused.“Are you sure about that?”“Yes, I am.” The guy sighed and gave her the alcohol, she poured it into a cup and gulped it down immediately. She coughed repeatedly and the guy gave her a look.“Are you okay?” The guy asked and she poured another cup again. She gulped it down again and cough

“You don't know?” Alexia asked and he sighed.“Is it because she looks like me? Or is it because you are helping your family from becoming poor? I thought you didn't care about that.” Alexia asked with tears rushing into her eyes and Alex held her cheeks, he wiped her tears and smiled at her.“Either I am with Piper or not, you will always be the only person special to me and in my heart, I don't want you to get involved in my mess, I have done a lot of terrible things over five years, I don't want you to get hurt, all I want is for you to be happy.” “Well, do you think am happy? What did you do Alex? What is wrong or going on? You can tell me.” Alex chuckled and creased her hair.“I have done a lot of terrible things, I don't want you involved in it, just live a better life, all of my wealth is based on something, my life might look okay but it's a mess. Can we not talk about this and just have breakfast?” “Are you okay?” Alexia asked looking worried and he nodded with a smile.“W

Alexia sighed and sat up, she ran her hands through her hair and turned to him.“Why did you get yourself in this mess?” Alexia asked and she sighed.“I was depressed, I was really depressed, I couldn't get over you and at that moment I had feelings for piper, everything was just so crazy that I didn't know what else to do than drink and some and do a lot of bad things.” “You still drink and smoke?”“Well, drink? Yes and smoke? Once in a while.” He replied and Alexia chuckled.“You have really changed a lot.” Alexia said and he shrugged.“Hmm, I have to go now.” Alexia said and he pouted.“Don’t go.” Alex groaned and pulled her to himself, she chuckled and stood up.“You are married okay?” She said and packed her hair properly.“I miss your long hair.” He chuckled and stood up, he held her waist and pulled her into a hug.“Can I see you tomorrow?” He asked and she shrugged.“It depends.” She replied with a smile. “Let’s go.” Alex said and pulled her out of the house, they both enter
