It's been up to 1 week since Alex and Sophia made up. Sophia has been sleeping in the hospital ever since then. She went home the next day to bring some of her stuff. She made sure that she took the key out of the keyhole to avoid being locked up again.Today, Alex is being discharged. He already got a notification from the board committee members asking him to notify them when he's out of the hospital so that they can schedule a meeting. He knows it has someone to do with the apology letter Cynthia sent to them.Alex was happy that everything was falling into place in his life. His friendship with Sophia is more solid now, they no longer keep stuff away from each other. He's yet to pay the Kingston family a visit at the police station, but since he was hale and hearty now, he was going to do that soon. Cynthia has confessed to her crimes of lying against him. So, who wouldn't be happy if they were in his shoes? He asked himself.Jayden, Sophia, and Cynthia were present at the hospita

Alex paused after making that statement. Everyone was eager to know what punishment he would give those that defamed his character. Alex made sure that the attention in the room was solely on him."Before my verdict on that issue, I'd like to call them in." Everyone was confused as to what he was talking about. Even Sophia and Jayden didn't know what he was up to.It didn't take long for the door to open and four people were ushered into the boardroom in handcuffs. There were no other people but Marcus, Cassandra, Victor Mancini, and Clare.They all looked embarrassed. They bent their heads in shame. Everyone in the room started making passive-aggressive comments."This was exactly what I said not less than five minutes ago. You all are always quick to judge someone even without hearing their own side of the story. I can hear some demeaning things being thrown at them." Alex admonished the board members who kept mute immediately."No one is guilty until proven otherwise," Alex added.

Alex sat in his office waiting for Sophia and Jayden to walk in. He knows them well enough to know that they will come and question the decisions he made earlier. He used that opportunity to look through some files. He had so much to do seeing that he hadn't been to the office for a month now.As if on cue Jayden casually strolls into the office. He made himself comfortable by sitting down on one of the chairs across from Alex. Alex paused what he was doing because he knew that the conversation that they were about to have would be an intense one. He wondered what was still keeping Sophia though."My Honorable Boss, I'd like to start by saying a huge thank you to you for the villa you put in my name. And I also want to get some lessons from you on how to always set the enemies free. I'll really appreciate it if you teach me one or two things. I promise to listen to you, after all, I'm your student for today." Jayden said after he sat down.Alex could perceive the sarcasm in his tone.

Jayden and Cynthia have left. Alex was driving home with Sophia. Ever since that wish that Sophia made, everyone started acting awkward except Alex who had been deep in thought. His interpretation of the wish was totally different. He thought that maybe he wasn't showing Sophia enough love and that that's why she made that request in the first place."I didn't know that the love I've been showing you all these people hasn't been enough." Alex broke the awkward silence. They have been driving home for the past few minutes but none of them has uttered a word to the other.Sophia didn't say anything in return. She was so embarrassed by the way Alex handled the whole situation. Was he really oblivious to the true meaning of her request?When they got to Alex's house, Sophia immediately came down from the car and entered the house. She went upstairs to her room and didn't spare Alex even a glance.Alex entered the house looking more confused and perplexed. He really thought that the whole

Sophia was at her office buried in work when she got a notification from Jayden telling her to rush to Golden Spade Restaurant that it was very urgent. Sophia immediately left all that she was doing and ran out.She drove like a crackhead cos she was panicking that something wrong might be happening. It didn't take long for her to get to the restaurant. She entered the restaurant looking disheveled and breathing hard. She looked around the restaurant and saw Jayden and Cynthia in a reserved corner. She quickly made her way to them.When Sophia got to them, she ran her eyes to and fro from them to decipher if they were hurt in any way but she was a little taken aback when she found out that there was nothing wrong with them. This leaves her with the question 'Why did they give her a heart attack with that type of message?'"Why did you both make me drive here like a maniac all for nothing? What if the road securities caught me? Have you thought of that?" Sophia asked a series of questi
