" I guess you have got your gift son," John said as Alex picked up his phone. " Not yet grandpa." He replied " Why don't you step out for a bit," John told him. Alex pinned his phone to his ears as he got up walking towards the entrance of his office. He pushed the sliding door slowly as he made for the company's compound. He got outside and saw a brand-new car. " Jeez, is this for me sir?" He yelled over the phone, attracting some of his staff. Alex had never been gifted on his birthday and it was overwhelming for him. His grandfather had gotten him a yellow Ferrari spider. " You will be signing here Mr Davis." a young man said with a smile giving Alex a paper to sign. He handed over the keys to him immediately he was done "Congratulations sir." " Thank you." Alex smiled and tipped him $1000. He smiled as he entered his new sports car. Many of the staff were jealous of him and they also wished they had a father who was rich just like Alex. He was indeed lucky. He went back into

Charlotte was in the living room when Claire entered. " Ain't you going to work today?" She asked looking at her face. " I am a little bit under the weather. Besides, I have called the company and told them I won't be coming over today." Claire replied looking at Charlotte. " What do you have in mind with the money borrowed from Ruby? I will advise you to start a business of your own mother. That money is not something to be spent on frivolities." Charlotte lifted her gaze and met Claire's own. " don't tell me what to do. I don't remember taking the loan in your name." She snared at her Claire kept a low profile and didn't want to fight with her mother. Her phone rang and she looked at who the caller was. " Hello, Henry." She said, scratching her head. " Are you free later in the evening?" Henry's voice was heard over the call. " I am home right now."" Are you alright?" Henry asked, sounding a little worried. " I will be fine. It is just a minor headache that is all." " Well, I

Claire was short of words and didn't know what to say. Charlotte was nothing but a parasite. She has fed off her when she was daring Henry Walker then. Henry would send her a substantial amount of money each time he visited but now that she needed her mother's help, she was proving too hard to crack. " Benjamin is involved in some kind of trouble. The money is not for me so don't you think for a minute this has to do with me. We need to get him out of this mess or this will come back to hunt both of us." Charlotte raised her eyebrows and looked at Claire and back at Benjamin. " What have you gotten yourself into again? I am sick and tired of cleaning after you. You should do something valuable with your life. How much is the money you are talking about?" She asked, chewing gum like some harlot.Claire breathed deeply, attempting to stay composed despite feeling increasingly frustrated by her mother's lack of understanding. "Mother, it's a significant quantity," she responded, with a

Henrietta quickly called Alex's grandfather and told him what had happened since he was the one who suggested them being together. " I have tried calling him but he isn't returning my calls. I am sorry that he had to find out about my ex that way " she said sobbing over the phone. " Hush, I will talk to him and he will listen to me. Just make sure that this doesn't repeat itself. " John Davis said over the phone. Henrietta giggled as she dropped her phone. She would have dated John Davis himself if she had to. She knew Alex would be difficult and didn't even know how long it was going to take before she could get the document she needed from him.Alex walked into his home and looked around. It was empty, he walked up the stairways into his room. He quickly had a cold bath. His thought went back to what happened that day and decided to go out and have fun. He wasn't going to mop over another heartbreak. Claire and Charlotte had done their worst and this was nothing compared to what

The clanging sound in his head woke him up the following day. Alex managed to walk out of bed to the bathroom. He staggered slightly like he was going to fall. He looked at the mirror in front of him and saw how messy he looked. “ I should seriously consider abstaining from alcohol, it doesn't suit me." Alex had a quick bath and prepared himself a hangover soup. He looked at his phone as messages kept popping in. He decided to read through the message that kept popping through yesterday. He saw his grandfather's message asking him to see him when he was done with the day's work. He quickly dressed and was ready for work. He locked the door and drove out of the house. His mind went back to the reason why she didn't pick up her calls. Alex strolled into the company as many of the staff bowed their faces to the earth each time he passed through them. He entered his office and sank into his chair. The door opened and Andrew walked in. " I tried getting a hold of you yesterday but you
