Alex took Miranda's number from his grandfather and excused himself from the room. As he walked back to his quarters, his mind was filled with a mix of emotions and thoughts. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease regarding his family's past and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his parents' deaths.Sitting at his desk, he dialed Miranda's number. After a few rings, she picked up."Hello?" Miranda's warm voice greeted him."Hi, Aunt Miranda, it's Alex," he said, trying to sound composed despite the turmoil within."Alex, dear! How are you?" Miranda's voice was filled with genuine concern."I'm... I'm okay. I just wanted to say thank you for today and for welcoming me into the family," Alex said, feeling a surge of gratitude."Oh, sweetheart, it was our pleasure. We've been waiting for this day for so long," Miranda replied warmly."Listen, Aunt Miranda, I was wondering if we could talk sometime... about my parents," Alex hesitated, unsure how to broach the subject.There w

The following day was very eventful, Alex had planned to visit the orange since he couldn't go there the last time he planned. He got up from his bed and walked to take his bath. His mind went back to the lady his grandfather talked about. " Who could she be?" Alex brushed his palms over the mirror in his front to see clearly. His hair was rough. He quickly brushed his teeth and took a warm bath. He was feeling a little cold. He walked out of the bathroom and got a call from Andrew. Alex walked towards the com and picked up his call. " What is it, Andrew?" " Sir, we need to head out. We are visiting your new house and Roland is in the police station. The DPO is asking to see you and know what they are charging Roland with." Andrew replied " Oh, that. I had a different plan already. We need to visit the orphanage. We were supposed to go a couple of days back if you remember." " Of course sir. When do you want to go?" He asked adjusting his spectacle " Today but first I need to ta

Alex had his things packed and moved into his new home. He marveled at the sight as he walked into the house. Money changeth all things. He could hardly believe it was the same house he had bought from the McCartneys. As he stepped into his new home, he was immediately struck by its grandeur and elegance. The foyer boasted high ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers, casting a warm glow over the polished marble floors below. A sweeping staircase curved gracefully to the second floor, its wrought iron railing adding a touch of sophistication to the space.To the left of the foyer, a cozy sitting area beckoned with plush velvet sofas arranged around a marble-topped coffee table. Large windows adorned with luxurious drapes flooded the room with natural light, offering stunning views of the manicured gardens outside.On the right side of the foyer, double doors led into a spacious dining room, complete with an ornate mahogany table that could easily seat twelve guests. A crystal chan

As the meeting started, Alex assumed control, guiding the conversation with confidence and clear communication. Even though Henrietta unexpectedly showed up, he stayed concentrated on the job, set on advancing the business agreement with Mr. Xavier and his colleagues.During the meeting, Henrietta demonstrated her worth by preempting Alex's needs before he expressed them. Her impressive efficiency and professionalism gained the respect and admiration of both Alex and the clients.As negotiations continued, Alex became more thankful for Henrietta's help. Her ability to think fast and focus on the specifics helped resolve possible challenges, resulting in a positive outcome for everyone.After finalizing the deal and seeing off the clients, Alex smiled gratefully at Henrietta. "Thanks, Henrietta." The help you provided today was extremely valuable. I could not have accomplished it if it wasn't for you.Henrietta smiled back at him, her eyes filled with pride.

The blaring sound of Alex's phone woke him up. He looked at the time and smiled softly remembering his outing yesterday with Henrietta. It was eventful and they had a lot to talk about. " Is he already having his feelings towards her when they had just only met a few times. " it must be love at first sight." He concluded by getting out of bed. Alex had been living all alone. He felt easily bored and he knew he needed maids to make his home look more lively. He went into the bathroom to have a cold shower. The feeling of not having to wait on anyone was something Alex enjoyed a lot. He could get to work anytime he pleases and do whatever he wanted. Although he did not let it get into his head. He walked out of the bathroom with a white towel tied around his waist and white rubber slippers. His phone rang and he looked at who the caller was. " Roseline," he murmured some words and looked away from his phone. He went to his wardrobe" What do I wear today?" he said, glancing through hi
