Alex snatched the phone from Sam’s hand and as the live stream flickered on the phone, he tightened his grip, trying to comprehend what he had just seen.“The audacity!” Sam yelled.It was a big shock to all of them. It has just been a year into his marriage with Olivia and everything was not as it seemed.As the celebrity host prompted them to introduce themselves, Alex’ heart pounded in his chest.He glanced at Olivia, his wife, who was sitting beside a man whose face was not revealed yet. “I’m Olivia and this is my boyfriend, Owen. We were together for two years but lost contact for about a year. We just met again a month ago and we decided to rekindle the love we once shared” Olivia said with a loving smile.The camera quickly turned to reveal the mysterious boyfriend of Alex’s wife and as his revelation unfolded like a scripted drama, the appearance sent a shiver down Alex’s spine.For some minutes, he lost his balance and everywhere looked blurry.“Alex! Alex! Easy, man! Are yo

(One of the most courageous decisions you’ll ever make is finally letting go of what is hurting your heart and soul.)Alex looked at Olivia, a storm of emotions brewing within him as he saw the look in her eyes.“Olivia, you never loved me!?”Olivia already gave up and she sneered, “You are so stupid, Alex. I’ve been hanging out with Owen long before you came into the picture. Can’t you see the truth!?”Alex felt his world had been turned upside down again. He could not just accept the reality that was unfolding before him.Alex said, yelling, “Why, Olivia!? Why!? Why would you do this to me!?”Olivia was equally furious.She had tried to live with this man but now, she was so tired of holding back. “I wanted a better life, Alex. You can’t provide that for me. You are poor and you’ve got nothing to offer me!”Alex was frustrated and hurt, “Olivia, what are you saying?”“Yes! You are so poor and it’s hard living with you. Why should I choose you over Owen!?” Olivia said adding another

The doctor rushed to Ava anxiously, glancing at his wrist watch, “Ma’am, we don’t have time to wait for the test results.” he muttered.“What do you mean by that!? You were the one that suggested the test!” her face was etched with worry.“Ma’am…” before he could continue Ava cut him off.“I’ll get the blood in ten minutes!” she said calmly“Ma’am, it is impossible! The blood is quite rare…”She just gave him a cold stare and grabbed phone to dial a number, “Felix, I need AB negative blood in ten minutes. Send it to Tranquil Heights Medical Center.” her voice was tense.The doctor felt the lady was overestimating herself and interjected, “Miss, it seems like you don’t know how things run in the medical world. Blood is not a bag of chips you can just order for, there are procedures to it. Finding the right blood that quickly is nearly impossible.”“Then, if we don’t find a donor in time, I’ll give my blood. I’m telling you doctor, I am not related to this man.”The doctor hesitated.He

(From the ashes of our shared history, I rise with newfound strength where our love’s requiem becomes the melody of my resilience.)“Come, let me show you my study.” Ava said as she motioned for Alex to hold her hand.As they entered into the elegant study, Alex gasped.The room exuded an air of sophistication, with dark mahogany furniture and shelves lined with leather-bound books.“Take a sit, Alex.” she said joking. Then she sat behind a polished oak desk, looked at Alex with concern etched on her face, “Alex, I hope you don’t mind me asking? But, what happened last night? Why were you injured?” her voice which was usually composed, held a touch of worry.Alex hesitated, a mix of shame and frustration was evident on his face.But he summoned the courage to say everything. After all, this was his mother.He told her about everything.How he had used all his savings to prepare for the anniversary but Olivia cheated on him instead and now, he would soon become a divorcee.Avas eyes n

Alex and Charles pulled up to the company in a Rolls Royce, a choice made on a whim. As they approached the entrance, the receptionist stopped them, “Alex? What are you doing here? The manager told me he fired you already and that you are not allowed into the company’s building anymore.” she said indifferently.“Miranda, did you really have to stop me like this at the entrance? Let me in so I can explain things to Mr. Reynolds.” he pleaded.“I don’t understand you. Who do you think you are that Mr. Reynolds would listen to? He gave me strict instructions. I cannot let you in. please leave or I’ll have to call the security to escort you out. To be candid, you are not even worthy to be an employee in this company. I’m sure you just got lucky cause honestly, you don’t fit in here.” she said rudely.“Miranda…” Alex was about to say something else when Mr. Charles cut in, “Young Master, please give me few minutes.” he said as he gave the receptionist one final look before he took out his
