Sitting at the head of the table with his staff around him, Alex felt the heavy burden of responsibility weighing on him. This meal was more than just eating together; it was about building a feeling of togetherness and confidence among those who worked hard to assist him. He felt he needed to connect more with them and listen to their complaints.Uncertain glances were exchanged by staff members in the room filled with nervous energy, unsure of what to anticipate from the gathering that took them by surprise.

Alex smiled, seeing the looks on their faces, and he knew he had to ease the tension a little bit.

CHAPTER 82
Charlotte was left out of everything. Rubby had given her a job as a nanny, and she was getting tired of it. "I wonder why I have to work like some maid." She said she was frustrated. She picked up her phone and called Claire. "Can we talk later, Mother? I am busy at work right now." Claire replied by hanging up the call. Charlotte sighed and looked at the baby she was holding. Rubby had decided to have her pay for the money she had collected from him by working in some of the health care centers he works with. He had used the hospital as a means of keeping his illegal funds unknown to government authorities. They have tried to dig some dirt in Ruby, but he has always managed to escape without getting caught. She was lost in thought when her phone rang. "Is this Mrs. Will?"

He was caught selling f

CHAPTER 83
John Davis had been keeping tabs on Alex. He had asked Andrew to look into what he had been doing and how the company was progressing. "I think he is handling everything pretty well, but Rubby is at war with him. He is bent on knowing more about the hidden treasure." Andrew looked at John Davis, who was looking a little pale. "Are you alright, sir?" Andrew moved closer to him. "I would be fine. Promise me one thing, Andrew." John looked at his old friend. Andrew and John go way back, and they have always had each other back. "What is that?" He asked, looking John in the eye. He knew what he was going to say, but he wanted to hear him say it. "Promise me you would love after Alex. He is the only heir I have, and I don't want anything bad to happen to him while I am alive or otherwise." John said, gently sitting upright to have a closer view of Andrew's face. "I promise to do everything in my power to make sure he is well looked after." John heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Andr

Looking into Alex's eyes, Paulina was filled with a mix of emotions. She couldn't resist being drawn to him but felt obligated to keep her promise to Andrew and see John Davis. She was unsure of the purpose of the meeting with Alex's grandfather, but she was prepared to hear whatever he had to tell her."I believe I can handle it without assistance, Alex," Paulina eventually replied, ending the strong eye contact they were sharing. "It appears to be a private issue involving your grandfather and myself." She said she was gently pulling her face away from him. Paulina was not prepared to exceed the boundary she had established for herself.Alex agreed, with a hint of disappointment visible on his face. "Okay then." Please inform me if you require any assistance."When they said goodbye for the day, Paulina struggled with conflicting emotions towards John Davis and her growing attraction to Alex.

His absence would be extremely missed.He will be the sole heir remaining from the Davis family."Grandpa, please don't say that," Alex begged, his voice shaking a little. "You will be okay." We will provide you with top doctors and top-notch treatment options. Gazing at his exhausted face, he spoke slowly. Alex understood that he needed to be prepared for whatever was approaching. Is it necessary for me to contact a doctor? I can arrange for the top doctor to come and provide you with the finest care. Grandpa, you will be okay."John placed a weak hand on Alex's shoulder, his eyes reflecting a mixture of love and sadness. "Thank you, Alex, but we both know that's not the answer. I've

CHAPTER 86
Alex and Andrew trailed behind the maid as she walked ahead of them. They looked at themselves as she walked towards John Davis's room. She looked at them and said nothing. Alex pushed the door open, only to see that his grandfather was still asleep. "Why did you come to raise a false alarm when he is only sleeping?" Alex asked, looking at the girl. Thomas moved closer to John and shook him gently. "Alex, he is dead." He said this, looking at Alex, who stood at the door, not sure what to say. "He can't be," Alex replied, moving closer to the dead body of his grandfather.Alex was in shock and frozen as he looked at his grandfather's motionless body. His thoughts raced with shock, struggling to grasp the abruptness of the situation. Andrew comforted Alex by placing a supportive hand on Alex's shoulder during this tragic loss. Alex eased himself onto the chair, feeling feeble as he beheld the sole individual who had believed in him and cared for him, now motionless and unresponsive."We

CHAPTER 87
Andrew stood up and wanted to talk, but Chloe silenced him. "You would keep quiet, old man. Don't you think for a second that you belong to the Davis family? I don't know why John kept you close to him all these years, but I would have you kicked out once I was made the head of this family." Chloe shouted in anger and looked at Alex, who was still in disbelief at how Chloe was acting. The door opened gently, and Alex looked up. He woke slowly into the arms of Mr. Black as he walked closer to him. "I am so sorry you lost him when you needed him the most." Chloe was shocked to see who walked in. "I thought you were dead along with Brandon." She looked at the man standing before her with disbelief. "As you can see, I am alive in flesh and blood. Wha was that noise about again?" He asked, looking at everyone seated at the table. I would have sworn I heard someone shouting. " Mr. Black looked at Chloe and looked back at those at the table.They all kept quiet, knowing who he was; he was

CHAPTER 88
Alex walked after Andrew as they both walked back to the John Davis office. "John asked me to give this to you. It is yours now." He said he was handing him a bulky brown envelope. Alex looked at him and said, "What is this?" He asked gently, going through some of the files. He looked back at Andrew and sighed gently, sitting down. John had carefully outlined all his companies and how he had been running them over the years. In a small envelope was a message for Alex. Dear son,This is meant for your father, but if you are reading this, then I assume you are already filling the role of your father. I would like to start by apologizing for not finding you in time. God knows I would give my life for your father, but I believe fate is cruel to me, taking away my only son and making me lose you. I know we will reunite someday because I won't stop until I have found you. I would be able to rest in peace knowing that you got this message. I want you to know that your father was killed. I b

Paulina looked at her; she handled everything professionally. She woke up in Alex's room and saw that he was sleeping. She walked back and instructed Fiona to make some tea and have it ready before Alex woke up. Brian walked into the house and handed the laptop to Paulina, who immediately started to work. Later in the evening, Henrietta came to check up on Alex when he didn't return her call. She met Paulina in the mansion and looked at her. "Why are you here?" Henrietta looked at her with a furrowed eyebrow. Paulina wanted to tell her Alex was sick, but seeing her manner of approach, she said nothing. "Alex traveled and asked me to work from his home. Is anything the matter?" She replied coldly. Henrietta brought out her phone and dialed Alex's number, but she was not getting any response. She walked out of the house, angrily shutting the door behind her.Paulina felt happy that she could get rid of Henrietta without much stress. She looked at what she was putting on and wondered i

Alex was feeling much better after being taken care of us. He was happy Paulina was by his side all through the crisis. Feeling refreshed, he called his staffs together and told them they all were moving with him to the Davis villa. They immediately packed their belongings and followed Alex. " Don't you think you need to stay low and heal for a while?" Paulina looked at him as he got dressed " I am not safe here. Xavier and Richard knows where I am. They now Davis is dead and it only a matter of time before they come for my head." Alex replied wincing as he tried putting on his shirt. His head was throbbing and when Paulina touched him, he felt warm. " I think your fever is broken but you need to take things easy."
