Alex returned home earlier that night with some tacos in hand and a smile on his face. He was rest assured now that Martins was on his side and had promised to help him out.Brielle was also somewhat excited that finally he wasn't going to be frowning as much as he did before. This would be one of the best things that happened to her too. " Hey, you're in high spirits. What should we drink?" She asked playfully.A smile crossed Alex's lips because he was also envisioning the success that would come with this and didn't know what was going to happen already. If he was going to be seeing something differently, then he would need to start acting the part.She stared at him again before drawing him closer, collecting the bag from his hands and walking towards the Kitchen."What are you doing?" He asked her "I want to get some plates." She replied."Let's eat it from the bag like old times sake." He said and they stared at each other before bursting into laughter. She couldn't believe tha

Brielle and Alex arrived at her father's house a few minutes before noon and quickly slipped into her father's study. She called her father before she got there. When she opened the door, her father was smiling at her, but there was a problem, Brock was already seated waiting for her. She looked at her father in shock. He had betrayed her. "We've been waiting for you for a while." Richard said.Brielle adjusted her clothes, it was just a bit to make sure that everything was going fine and recover from the shock. "I didn't know that the meeting had started." Brock was busy smiling at her, he knew that she had told her father of her plan to hide and eavesdrop so he looked forward to see what she would do now that he was here. "I didn't know that you would come here. I mean, I would have sworn that your beloved husband would have stopped you from coming." He said dryly.Brielle shot him a fierce look but didn't say a word. "I don't want to talk to you, today, Brock. Go straight to the p

Brock took it upon himself to become the town crier and announce it that Sean would be merging with their family to become a formidable empire. The tabloids were already running haywire with the information due to Brock's fuel. it became the talk of the town and everywhere Brielle went, she was accosted by the press asking how she felt. At one point, it became so overwhelming that she didn't like going out again at least for the meantime. It was beginning to get to her mental health. She was forced to start wearing glasses that hid her form so that she could at least breathe well. There was something else that was holding her back from doing what she should. It was the fact that Alex had told her that the press would surely go away but it seemed like at this point, there was nothing that she could do. Alex was very devoted to his start-up and she wouldn't be selfish to stop him from going about his daily activities just to please her. It wouldn't work as long as she wasn't selfish

Alex arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, it was a date however familiar he was with her, he needed to do the right thing.At exactly ten minutes later, Brielle walked in through the door, her eyes scanning the environment for a while before settling on him. He was shocked that no smile crossed her lips. It had to be something really serious."So, let's see what we have here." He muttered as the waiter approached them immediately after Brielle had sat down. "We'll go with some lamb chops, right babe?" He asked her and she nodded. The waiter took down the order and walked away leaving the couple in momentary silence. Now the problem was that Alex didn't leave his house to come here and stare at Brielles face "Tell me what's wrong." "A lot of things." She answered morosely.Alex's mind wandered to various scenarios that could warrant such expression. "like?" "The fact that you've been unavailable for the past weeks, you've shown no concern whatsoever in the scandal tha

Brock was shocked by the manner in which his Grandma had sent him away like a stray dog. It was very annoying and he was just thinking about the way that he could get her to be on his side. His sister listened to Brielle. She needed just a tiny nudge from grandma to make her reconsider so he needed to make that come to pass. There was nothing else that was going to make him change his mind about certain things that he had planned. "Tell me what else you need from me, grandma. You're not understanding what is going on between us. I'm sure that she must have told you a lot about me" Grandma's eyes narrowed at her first grandson. If Brock was half the woman Brielle was, she would have been very happy but right now she was very regretful that this was even happening in her lifetime. She would have preferred if they weren't even on talking terms at this point. " Now, tell me, what don't I understand?" She replied.Brock took a step forward making her narrow her eyes at him. " I'm sorry,
