Paulina remained calm, facing Long Eye's strong gaze with a steady one of her own. "I am serious about business; I don't joke around," she responded calmly while smoking her cigarette.He observed her, his eyes narrowing while he thought about her proposal. "What type of business is being discussed?" he inquired carefully, intrigued despite his initial doubt. "And I need to be sure this won't land me in any kind of trouble." Paulina tilted slightly forward, her voice exuding confidence and persuasion. "The type of work where your abilities are appreciated and financially rewarded," she mentioned, speaking softly yet confidently. I've witnessed your skills at the table, but I think there is still untapped potential in you. "With the appropriate resources and connections, we can both gain significant advantages."Long Eye remained doubtful, but a spark of curiosity shone in his eyes. "What are your specific intentions?" he asked, his tone cautious yet curious.Paulina reclined, a sly g

Thinking about his grandfather's request and Paulina's response, Alex understood the careful equilibrium he had to uphold. Although he wasn't prepared to enter a romantic relationship with anyone, particularly due to the complicated nature of his circumstances, he recognized the significance of temporarily fulfilling his grandfather's desires. He knew Paulina had been helpful, and they were friends with benefits. He wanted to complicate that, but he was not ready to go see his father without a proper backup. "Paulina, I comprehend your reluctance," Alex started, speaking in a thoughtful manner. "I don't anticipate you to feign anything. However, I do require your assistance in handling this scenario involving my grandfather. He has been firm about me getting into a stable relationship, and Henrietta's sudden arrival makes things more complex. Can you just help out with this once?" Paulina listened carefully, her face expressionless as she absorbed Alex's words. Following a brief per

John looked at Alex and sighed. He was seeing Brandon in him. He was just exactly like his father. Not giving up even in the face of an adversary. That got him killed anyway, as he was not going to let that happen to his grandson. "Do you know why your father was killed?" He asked, looking at Alex's face. "No, this is the first time you are talking to me about him," Alex replied. "I know you found the last will of your father, and even though I don't know what is written inside, I am very sure he has everything you need to know. Alex, you are having everything go well for you. We can't just let the sleeping dog lie. There are a lot of things you don't understand." John said, looking at Alex. "It is too late because I started digging anyway. I am going to find out who killed my father and pay them back for everything." Alex girthed his teeth. "Fine, just so you know, your father was murdered. The company had a breakthrough." John said he was getting up from his seat and walking towa

The gentle, warm glow of the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, illuminating Alex's bedroom. Alex rubbed his eyes gently upon waking up, he had a determined expression on his face, prepared to confront the upcoming challenges. Today was the day he would start digging into the death of his parents. Today was the day he would start uncovering the secrets of his family's history. He yawned lazily looking into the mirror right in front of him. Following a speedy shower and a satisfying breakfast, Alex made his way to the office, filled with thoughts of plans and strategies. Upon entering his office, Andrew welcomed him with a cup of hot coffee."Morning, Alex." Andrew smiled as he handed over your coffee."Thank you, Andrew. Were you able to get the message to Mr. Dickson sent out? Alex inquired, sipping on the warm drink."Yes, sir" Andrew confirmed that he sent the invitation for a company meeting this morning.Fantastic. "Let's make sure we're ready for him," Alex said

While standing in the bathroom with the shower still running, Alex's mind was filled with thoughts about his next steps. Sydney Coleman, the individual who deceived Will's family out of their wealth, had at last been located. This marked a pivotal juncture in Alex's pursuit of justice for his family and for his revenge against the Wills family. "Andrew, I want you to collect as much information as possible about Sydney Coleman—where he is currently, his possessions, everything," Alex directed, with a determined tone in his voice."Mr. Alex, you can consider it accomplished." "Without delay, I will start working on it," Andrew responded with assurance.Alex entered the shower and felt the warm water flowing over him, but his thoughts were somewhere else. He couldn't rid himself of the burden of responsibility weighing on his shoulders. Recovering the money stolen by Sydney Coleman from Will's family was essential, but he was also determined to use the money to his advantage. He was go
