Alex shot out of bed, beads of sweats were forming on his body while he was fidgeting. His whole body was screaming of aches and at that moment he felt like he was about to die.The nightmare that has been haunting him for several days now was getting much more tortuous than he thought.Picking up his phone, he saw that he had several missed calls from Clarrisa and a lot of text messages.Ignoring it, he dialed a certain number and the person from the other side answered on the first ring.“Hello” Aiden’s sleepy voice filtered into his ears, it was past three in the morning and obviously the young doctor would be sleeping.“I can’t sleep and I keep having nightmares” Alex said, he knew Aiden was not a therapist but he was still a doctor.Aiden sighed, “for how long?”“Two weeks”“And you are just telling me now?” He sighed again, “I will send some medications for you tomorrow, for now you can listen to some slow songs, it will help you sleep”“Sure”After he ended the call, Alex laid
After he ended the call, Alex climbed out of the car and briskly made his way into the house. He wanted to see what was inside that box, maybe he could find a clue.Elias was already standing by the gate when he entered and they both shook hands before he led him into the basement.“I will leave you to it then”Alex nodded and watched the man walk out of the room while he turned his attention to the room.He could remember how many times he would come to hide here when he didn’t want to watch movies or eat with his family members but now none of them was here. Bending down he tore one of the boxes open and began to look through it. There was nothing important in that first one, only items that were no longer needed for the house and his mum kept aside.Alex went ahead to the second and the last box, he was hoping he would see something which he actually did. After searching for a while, Alex came across a brown envelope which caught his attention.The envelope was not sealed but he c
Alex didn’t know for how long they both stood in that position but when they disengaged, he saw there were tears in her eyes too and a look of concern graced her face.“Why are you crying?” “You have never shown me how much you miss your family Alex” her hand slowly made its way to his face and she cleaned the tears that were still flowing, “you were always this strong man and i didn’t know you were hurting so bad. I am so sorry Alex”He wanted to yell and tell her her father was the cause of this pain and everything but he could not do that and it was the most frustrating feeling for him. He wanted to hold Gerald by the neck and strangle the life out of him but could he even do that now? He had to tread cautiously.“I am fine okay?” He cupped her face, “you don’t have to be sorry for what is not your fault okay?”“Is there a way I can help you?”“Can you kill your dad for me?” He wanted to ask but instead he smiled and tucked a few strands of hair to the back of her ear, “you don’t
Clarissa woke up to the ringing of her phone which made her frown. Why was her assistant calling her all of a sudden and how many calls did she miss?“Hello” she pressed the phone against her ears.“Ma’am, have you already seen it?”Clarrisa raised an eyebrow, “see what?”Her assistant hesitated for a while, “a video is circulating online about you and ….” Her voice trailed off.“What happened, Ann?” Clarrisa was almost shouting.Just then her door burst open and her whole family entered. They all looked sad and scared, especially her mum who came to sit beside her.“What is going on?” She asked, “why do you all look so worried?”“I am sorry princess” Gerald said after a while, a look of guilt was hovering over his face.Now Clarrisa was very confused, “can someone tell me what’s going on?” She turned to her mother, “mum, say something”Her phone beeped with a message and she immediately picked up her phone and clicked on the link that her assistant had sent.From the beginning of the
A sea of reporters continued to click on their camera shutters when Alex walked into the arena. He looked so smart and superb in his grey suit while his hair was slicked back in an alluring manner. This was the almighty Alexander chase and this was the press conference he was able to organize in just half an hour. Money and opulence was sure a good thing to possess.Alex cleared his throat and moved towards the podium, once he was done he bent himself towards the microphone and he began to talk,“Sorry for the impromptu meeting, this was organized as soon as the news of what my fiancé did got to me” Alex paused did a while, he was observing the sea of reporters in front of him and his lips curled into a sly smile, this was sure to be on hell of a press conference.“I would have naturally let my PR department handle this themselves but this involves my fiancé and I can not just fold my hands and let the public criticize her. She is here today to say what she has and I hope you all will
Gerald sat glued to his screen, he had an expressionless look on his face while his wife beside him and she had tears In her eyes.The way Clarrisa was suffering was something two of them were unwilling to accept, seeing the tears in Clarrisa’s eyes was unbearable for them. She was the baby of the house by the way.“You should do something, Gerald” his wife advised, “our baby girl is suffering so much”“Don’t worry,” Gerald answered. “I will take care of things”Sooner than later, Clarrisa’s car zoomed into the compound and Dylan was on the porch, he seems to be waiting for her.“Risa”“Not now, Dylan”After talking, she made her way into the house and went straight to where her father was seated.“I will take care of it” she mimicked him and angrily threw her bag to the floor, “this is what you took care of, dad?”“Calm down baby” her mother tried to cajole her but she would hear nothing of it.“After so many years dad, I still have to relive this stigma again. Do you know how humili

Her hard work was not going to go unnoticed.Alex didn’t even notice her enter, it was not until she cleared her throat and took a seat in front of him.“You are here?” Alex finally dropped his pen and focused his attention on her, “i didn’t know you were coming”Bianca leaned forward, “I see you are working hard to get everything in order, your PR department just released the official statement a while ago.
