“What can I do for you?” Alphonse asked as soon as the young man sat down in his study.“We have a lot to discuss. I mean I have been meaning to discuss with you for a long time but I am afraid my mother and brother have ruined that peaceful negotiation already” Harry said and Alphonse nodded once before sitting down.The young man had been polite with him since he arrived and Alphonse was trying to be civilized with him.“First off, I would like to apologize for the rash behavior you witnessed from my mother and my brother. I heard what they did and I am not impressed to say the least.” Harry said with a hand to his chest and Alphonse wondered what the man had up his sleeves. “My sincerest apologies” Harry added again and Alphonse nodded again.“Okay. I think that apology should be coming from you mother and your brother, but it’s thoughtful for you to be here on their behalf. Mr Harry, let us approach your reason for being here, you stopped me from having breakfast with my family an

“Sir, he will see you now” a prison warden informed Alphonse, and he gave a curt nod before standing up and following the warden.They walked to the receiving area and Paul sat down handcuffed in a chair still in his clothes from the night before.As Paul saw him he sat straighter.The warden motioned for the empty seat for Alphonse, and he took the seat with a little “Thank You”.Paul fiddled with his fingers and looked away.“Are you here to laugh in my face and tell me I’m a thieving piece of shit?” Paul asked.“Uh…. Not yet. But I might, it depends on how this conversation goes. So I’ll save it for later” Alphonse said, gritting his teeth in annoyance.This man went into his house with a loaded gun to steal with his family present.What if it was someone else who approached him in the study?Maybe Charlotte or his mother, Hannah.If Paul had shot anyone he would have gotten away free.“Why are you here? Laugh in my face and leave quickly. My mother is coming to post bail soon”, Pa

Knock knockAlphonse raised his head from the pile of papers he was going through to see Harry at the door."Harry. Come in please" Alphonse urged him inside the study.Harry looked a little bit out of place and nervous which Alphonse noticed, and with a smile , a quick nod and pursed lips Harry entered the study and took his seat."What's good? What can I do for you?" Alphosne asked and took his attention off the papers to focus on Harry.“I need to talk to you about Vivian Robinson" Harry started and Alphonse raised a surprised brow before taking off his reading glasses to listen to what Harry had to say.“Okay” he nodded. "What about?" Alphonse asked"Knowing your history with her I don't know how this will settle with you. And seeing that you and her are not on good terms" Harry said and Alphonse laughed lowly a little."Just get to it Harry, I have no problem with Vivian. We were married once and we divorced. It's that simple and not an object of discussion" Alphonse said and Har

"Hello "Manager". You forgot to iron your suit today?" Vivian threw her regular insult with a snicker as she walked past Alphonse at work today.And like always Alphonse ignored her and checked in.For the past two weeks since she resumed work she had been throwing jabs and insults at him whenever she could.It was not like he had not expected it, he did because he knew Vivian was never the type to change.And the past two weeks Alphonse had not found a reason to smile.Firstly, he convinced Charlotte to take her father to a more comfortable and secure home for the elderly with a private nurse to care for him properly.Next he assigned a driver to her and his mother and a two day routine check of all his vehicles before leaving the house.And then his hunt for Paul began, Ursula had claimed she didn't know where her son was with glee and he knew the way she was smiling she knew.Surprisingly, the Halls have not bothered him since and last he heard Hannah and Cornelius were having "rel

Alphonse was signing off some papers with his secretary in his manager position that morning, he was already stressed and the day was about to get sour.His arm was finally out of the sling but now in a smaller cast but every moment he sighed out of frustration the hand ached and it annoyed him even further.He was trying his best to fit everything in all at once and curb his problems but they seemed like they were falling out of his hand and out of his control.Alphonse knew he needed a grip on his sanity because he had been barking orders of late and skipping meals and also burying himself too much in work.All it took was for him to fire Harry and get back to running things smoothly but he let the devious young man continue his trade because at the end he would want everyone to know he tried giving him a chance.He gave everyone a second chance, Vivian was working again, he was about to clear off the charges on Paul before he got released and went missing, he was keeping Ursula’s s
