After Alex dropped the call, the smirk on his lips intensified as he made his way towards his car, things were getting much more interesting than he thought.Before he could get to his car, a sea of reporters hovered around him and he had no option than to stand and listen to their nonsense.Be it Jayden or Alex, none of them ever interested in the public eye. They were both social nerds but at this point, being a socially active butterfly was something on Alex’s plate that he had to eat and he was doing well in eating it.“Excuse us sir” the reporters were all struggling to be heard, “why have you come all the way to your fiancés work place at noon?” One of them asked.“Is another conspiracy brewing?” Another questioned.“Tell us sir, you are treating this matter so lightly. The public may be forced to believe that you were in Cohorts with your fiancé even before this day”Alex was quiet for a while and he listened to all their rambles and from the look of things, he looked quite tir

The moment Clarissa got into her car, the tears she was struggling to contain burst out of her eyes. The fact that Alex would suspect her of being the person that attacked Bianca made her feel so sad.Yes she said she was going to pay her back for what she did but it was not like she wanted her dead.A lot was going on in her mind when the screen of her phone lit up and she saw it was her mum calling.Sighing for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Clarrisa connected the phone to her car speaker and pressed the receive button.“Mum” “What happened, baby?” Gwen asked from the other end, “why did you leave the house in such a hurry and you were not picking your calls, what happened? You got me all worried”Clarrisa sighed, she didn’t want to tell her mum that she just had an argument with Alex but the fact that she left the house meant something had happened right?“Clarissa?” Her mother called again and she jolted to reality.“Mum, Alex is in the hospital”“Why?what happened?”“No” s

“Knock knock” Clarrisa gently knocked on her father’s study door and he looked up from the document he was reading. Gerald’s lips curled into a smile when he saw his favorite person standing by the door looking all happy. Well, why wouldn’t she be? The news of Alexander Chase's housewarming party was already all over the news and Clarrisa being a bitch and a murderer was old news. Everything seems to be going so well even if it was just two days after the attack on Bianca.“Come in princess, why are you standing by the door?” Gerald asked as he leaned back on his chair, “why do you look so happy though? Did you win a lottery?”“Dad” the smile on her lips intensified as she sauntered into the study, “you are working overtime again?”“What can I do?” He inquired with a shrug, “Mr Andre is putting me on my toes'' he gritted his teeth, “that damned French man”Clarrisa laughed at her father’s outburst, he could be overly dramatic when angry or not.“Why are you here though?” He asked agai

The time was already past eleven when the guests began to disperse, it was a fun filled party and everyone enjoyed it especially Alex. He was happy that he was able to make his father’s house lively again after many years of solitary. For one night he forgot about his revenge plans and was genuinely happy. This was the only property that belonged to his family that he knew off and this was where he was going to live now. Overall, the night was a success.After the last guest was gone, he was left with his fiancée and her family and that was when the instincts of his revenge came back. The fact that Gerald was still seated in the room comfortably made him want to puke.“Congratulations brother in law” Dylan walked up to him.“Thanks man” he plastered a fake smile on his lips.“I really want to see how you will turn this into a major profit Alex” Gerald said from where he sat down which made Alex ball his hand into a fist. Was this old man kidding him right now? Did he think everyone wa

“Oh Bianca” Alex moved away from Esmeralda and walked over to the lady who just entered.“You don’t listen do you?” Alex reprimanded as he helped her into the house, “what if Gerald had his men on your trail?” He fumed further, “can’t you try to be a little careful?”Esmeralda who didn’t understand a word they were saying creased her forehead into a frown, what has anything got to do with Gerald?“Is there something I don’t know?” She asked and Bianca turned her attention to Alex.“Is there something aunt meralda no nothing of?” She raised an eyebrow, “I mean you are spitting so much nonsense that even I can’t comprehend”Alex seemed to understand the sarcasm in her voice and he immediately understood what she was trying to do, he was too overwhelmed and he forgot that Esmeralda was not supposed to know who he was.“It’s nothing, meralda, I think you should get going now. I will be back tomorrow okay?”“But…” her voice trailed off when he cut her short with a smile.“Don’t worry about
