Alex looked at her and doubted if she understood exactly what she was telling him to do. If he did what she said, his entire company will be ruined. All that his grandfather had laboured to get will be gone down the drain. Suddenly he could understand why his father would want what he actually wanted. He could understand why the man did what he did. It was not easy to let go of something you have worked hard on for years just because of a simple mistake. "What is it?" Aurora asked when she still saw the look of confusion on his face. "I just don't think you understand exactly what you are telling me to do." Alex said. "And what makes you think that I don't understand? Listen, Alex I understand that you stand the risk of losing your company. I understand that you are at the risk of throwing away years of hard work but look at the odds facing you, if this news goes out no one would even want to work with you because they will all see him as someone who lacks integrity. They will not

Aurora woke up to a strange feeling. She stretched her hand and could not feel Alex next to her. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was actually alone on her bed. How could he have left so suddenly? After giving her the best time of her life, how could he actually leave without saying a word. Sighing and still hoping that he was somewhere around the house. Maybe even making breakfast for her, she moved to the palour, hoping to see him there but she was met with Emily laying on the couch, reading a book. "Oh will you look at that? My best friend is awake. What the hell were you thinking sleeping in the afternoon when you know very well that we need to work to put a roof over our heads. Why are you behaving like this?" Emily questioned"I wasn't in bed alone. I was with Alex." "Oh I know." "You do? How?" Adora asked. "Well when I was about coming in, I saw him leaving in such a haste. It was like he did not want you to see him. But after I tried to slow him down, he started hitting

"Mr. Albert, you cannot do this. This is our company as much as it is yours and you cannot do something that we don't all agree on." Alex turned his head slowly to meet the gaze of the man who just called his company his own. "Mr. Norton, let me make one thing perfectly clear to you. This is my company. I own the biggest shares in it. What you have are just little mittens that can be given to anyone and if you think for one second that I am going to allow you to come here and detect to me how I should run my business, I am happy to inform you that you are highly mistaken.' "We will sell our shares and leave if you don't cover up this secret." They threatened. "And you know that without shareholders, your company will fall."Alex laughed, the kind of laughter that made Mr. Norton know how stupid his statement really was. "I don't think you understand the company you are in. Dear Mr. Norton, this is Havillah Enterprises, the best and biggest construction company in this state and on

"Davina!" The officer that called her name was not as gentle as the one she bribed to allow her go meet Alex but he was the same person. He walked angrily towards her and Davina squeezed her face as she heard his footsteps approaching. "Hall, now!" He said between gritted teeths and Davina followed him to the hall. She was given a little opportunity to watch the television because she had promised the man that once she is able to blackmail Alex she would get so much more and be able to pay him off. But now that the cards did not flow in her favour, she knew that she was in shit."I can explain everything." She tried to talk before the man rained down abuses on her. "Save it. I have given you so many different opportunities and you jus keep messing it up. Well not anymore. You are going to pay me every dime that you owe me and you are going to do it now." "But I don't have any money on me!" She said, scared of what the man would do to her while hating on Alex with everything she h

Alex looked at her and knew from her facial expression that she had come for trouble."Natalie, what are you doing here?" He asked as he watched her walk into the room. When she kept mute and said nothing Alex stopped asking. He would not be caught pestering her. Slowly, she walked to the chair opposite him and lowered herself into the chair. Not saying a word, Alex leaned back on his chair and folded his arms waiting patiently for her to say a word. "My dear brother, aren't you happy to see me?" She asked. "What are you doing here Natalie?" He asked again. "Well, I guess you did not get the memo. Well let me probably introduce myself. My name is Natalie Cale and I am the daughter of Veronica and Derek Cale of blessed memory. Oh," she laughed. "I meant to say Veronica and Albert McQueen, your grandfather." "Okay, so why are you here then? What do you want?" Alex asked sternly "If you don't know the answer to that question, then I don't think I should have given you so much credi
