"What are you talking about?!" Alex exclaimed. "How could such a huge amount of money be missing and no one knew about it? Are you sure you are doing your calculations well?" "Yes sir. I did the calculations well. I noticed some illegal movement of your funds and I called an accountant to look at the numbers. He assured me that the were truly discrepancies in the transactions and he pointed out the total amount that is missing and where the are missing from." "Oh no, that can't be right. This cannot be right. Do you have any idea what you are saying? Two million dollars is not a small amount of money and you want me to believe that such a huge amount can be missing from this company and I won't have any idea about it?" "It's most often like that sir. Especially if the owner of the company is not going over the company's statement by himself, some money can get missing without anyone knowing about it." "Damien, did you know about this?" Alex turned his face to ask him. "I had no i

"Sir, I think you must have made a mistake somewhere." He stuttered and beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. "Now I asked you a question and I am yet to get the answer for it. What is going on here that I cannot find the truth that is supposed to be here? Why do all the numbers here look made up to me?" "Sir, they are most definitely not made up. Maybe the is a small problem with the tally system. Let me go and rectify that and I will come back with the results." The man said and tried to walk away but Alex's voice held him back "Mr. Gabriel if you dare move an inch from that place, I will so badly hurt you that you will not be able to recover from the pain." "Sir please." He said, turning around to face Alex.."I don't understand why you are begging me." Alex said as he leaned back and looked at him. He so badly wanted to give him the benefit of doubt but the were so many signs that told him not to do that. But how could he? His salary was very good and the company ensur

"What?" Some people in the crowd shouted. "Sir, can I please say something?" Miss Davina said, trying to defend herself. "Go ahead." "Sir, I don't know about others here but I personally did not steal any money from this company. Sir, I am innocent of all that is being said against me." Alex looked at her and could not tell if she was saying the truth or not. She looked like she wasn't but his gut feeling did not believe her one bit. But how could he be sure that Gabriel who helped them steal such amount of money did not also lie to ensure that the real culprits got away. "Cole," he called his hacker and the boy walked to his side and bent to hear what he had to say. "You once said that you have all the information I need about these people. Their names and everything, does this check out? I mean the names that this boy gave to me?" He asked. "Yes sir it does. These are the name of the people that have been involved in this very tricky business and I will not lie to you about i

"You really don't hold back, do you?" Aurora said as soon as she entered his office carrying two buckets of KFC chicken wings and his bodyguard carried the fries and drinks. "Why did you carry anything? You would have allowed these boys to carry everything." Alex said, standing up to take the bucket out of her hand. "I am not a baby. I can carry my things by myself and besides, I asked for only chicken and you went ahead to get some extras for me." "Well we all know that they go well like this," he said and turned to look at Andres. "Thank you Andres, you can leave now." Alex said and Andres nodded and walked away. "When did you get a bodyguard?" Aurora asked. "I didn't. Damien got him for me.""I guess it's obvious that Damien really cares about you then," Aurora said as she sat by the sofa. Her heart was beating faster than she could ever imagine. She had told herself over and over again to avoid men like Alex. She had tried to convince herself that he was not worth the troub

"Alex," she whispered, trying to not sound so engulfed by his actions. "Yes," his voice was low and deep. "Don't do this." She begged, not knowing what she really wanted. "Beg me to stop if you don't want me to do this then. Beg me to stop." He said, his hands slowly moving up her thighs, eager to explore every part of her. "Alex," her voice came out as a moan as she tried to stop what was happening but she couldn't lie to herself anymore. Her body wanted this but her mind kept telling her that it was a terrible idea. Before the pleasure would become overwhelming and she won't be able to listen to what her mind was saying again, she pushed him off her and stood up rapidly. Her actions took Alex by surprise. He would have never thought that she would have the guts to actually do something like that. It made him question everything he knew. Made him to question if she truly felt anything for him at all. "What did you do that for?" He asked staring at her as his eyes darkened. "Yo
