Henrietta experienced a rush of feelings as Alex's question lingered in the atmosphere. She felt her heart beating rapidly, and momentarily, she was unable to speak. Henrietta was caught off guard by the abrupt question, given their past interactions and the complications in their relationship. She calmed herself with a deep breath before meeting Alex's eyes, feeling a blend of doubt and fragility.

Alex smiled as he closed the door behind her. He took out his phone and was about to call Andrew when he saw his grandfather's call. " Hello sir""Hey son, I have good news for you." He said with a hint of happiness in his voice. " Good news?" Alex muttered taking a seat on the couch before him. " What is it about Grampa?" He asked picking his teeth. " What do you think about being engaged to Henrietta?" " Engaged? We haven't even gotten to that level yet. I barely knew anything about her and she even had a boyfriend she had decided to keep a secret from me. So engaging with her right now is not something I would want to do. She looks like she has some skeleton in her cupboard. She is hiding something from me Grandpa and I am going to figure out what it is." Alex said with a serious face " Alex Davis." John said solemnly "You have to take things easy, I know you are having issues trusting people but relax. Henrietta wants nothing but your interest at heart just give her a chance."

Claire shouted in anger Alex got up from his chair and smiled "Really? I can see you still don't get it. I will never get back together with you. I don't love you anymore and you have no business in this organization. Seeing you every day reminds me of what I had to endure because of you and your family. It will be better if we part ways."

Alex added and looked at her Claire raised her eyebrows and looked at him " You haven't seen

"Is there anything exciting?" he asked as he moved nearer to the safe.Alex casually shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not interested," he replied, attempting to shift Andrew's focus from the safe.

Alex looked at Simon Roddy as walked toward them with his eyebrow furrowed. " you will respect yourself here or you will be thrown out of his place." He said with an angry face.

I could have your entire casino bought just by the snap of my fingers.” Simon looked at him as he sensed that he could do just what he said. He looked at his dress and saw he looked rich.

Do you know we are still in a relationship? I haven't called it a quit with her yet. She loves me and I know that. " Simon said adjusting himself in front of Alex [ SMILE ]" You think I care about what you do with her. If the lives you like you claim them she wouldn't try seducing me. You should get this straight you are just her ex. I am the real one now. " Alex replied with a smirk. He d

Paulina leisurely walked out of the bedroom while Alex remained on the bed, experiencing a blend of contentment and bewilderment. He couldn't get rid of the sensation that this interaction with Paulina was more than just a brief affair. However, he set aside those thoughts temporarily and swiftly put on his clothes. He smiled gently as he rubbed his hands over his rough hair. He was having a nice time with Paulina. Descending to the dining room, Alex saw Paulina at the table, drinking water. As he walked into the room, she glanced up at him with a sly smile."You finally chose to come out of hiding, huh?" She playfully mocked, lifting an eyebrow. She looked into his face and noticed he was feeling shy. Alex laughed softly as he sat down in front of her. I apologize for that. I just needed one minute to gather my thoughts.Paulina smiled, reclining in her seat. There is no need for an apology. "With a wink, she mentioned that she was accustomed to rendering men speechless." She said s

Paulina went through the content and saw that it was his father's last testament. "What do you plan on doing?" Paulina asked. "What do you mean by that weird question? I am going to bring all of them to justice. Everyone fucking last one of them." Alex said this with his face running red and his voice laced with anger. He didn't remember much about his parents, but he knew they loved him."Why don't you let the police do their job?" Paulina looked at him. "How do I know the police are not in on any of this? For all I know, they might have aided in covering this evil act." "How do I come in? I am sure you sort me out because you know that I can help you out with your revenge." Paulina said, gently covering her open chest and revealing her two breasts. "I need a good computer operator and a tracker.

The Richmonds are here, and we are officially launching the project. We need you to be here as soon as possible." Andrew replied and cut off the phone. " God! Can he stop doing that?" Alex shouted in frustration, hitting the bathtub. He quickly got dressed and looked at himself in the mirror. Alex smiled gently, seeing he was ready for the day's work.
