Alex arrived at the estate manager's company, parking his car in the lot. He came down and saw a bold inscription of De Silva real estate atop the building.

He smoothened his suit and began to walk into the company when suddenly, he felt water being splashed at him.

"What the...!" He sidestepped and turned to where the water came from. There, he saw an old man watering some plants by the entrance.

The old man threw a glance at Alex and looked away, not bothering to apologize for splashing water. Alex couldn't believe it and scoffed. He decided to just ignore him and continued walking.

However, the old man looked at Alex's expensive suit and watch and sneered. "Young people these days really think they can afford anything. It's all flash and no cash!"

"Sorry?" Alex furrowed, taking a step back while looking at the old man.

The old man flared his nostrils, eyeing Alex. "What? You think I'm wrong? You want to come beat me up?" He shook his head and turned away. "Hmm, these 21st centur

    "Hold it, was that a prank call?" Marcus shouted, as the other agents nodded in agreement. "Alex, give it up already and stop fooling yourself. We won't take this lightly with you. Enough is enough!" Suddenly, a wealthy middle-aged man with two bodyguards dressed in suits entered the building. He wore a Rolex wristwatch and was none other than James, the owner of the company. Everyone in the company began to bow their heads in respect as James looked around, like he was searching for someone. Everybody began to greet him loudly, even Marcus left his position and bowed his head. But James paid no attention, still scanning the place. When his eyes landed on his target, "The Great Master!" James boomed loudly, bowing his head in reverence."Huh?!!" Gasps and murmurs of "Goodness!!" and "oh my!" rippled through the watching employees.Pens and paper dropped from petrified fingers. Mouths gaped open in astonishment as stunned workers gawked at the unexpected sight of their boss bowing

    The goons cracked their necks and knuckles, ready to give Alex a good beating. He seemed to be a spoilt rich kid who knew nothing about fighting or living on the streets.So, the one that was holding the girl hurriedly charged at him and threw a punch at his nose. Alex stumbled back a bit, but just merely wiped the blood off his nose.The girl gasped in tremor, and quickly searched herself for her handkerchief. She started wiping off the blood stains from Alex's nose. "Sir, sir, you need to leave now! The goons might hurt you!" The lady exclaimed, still wiping the blood off.Seeing her display of affection for Alex made the goon start to snicker loudly in mockery. "Hey, are you kidding me right now? Does this look like a tender moment to you? Come here, you whore!"They began to drag her roughly, taking her away. They laughed, "Haha, you're so funny, you were really asking a spoilt kid to help...."The words hung in the goon's mouth as he suddenly felt himself being thrown to the grou

    He never noticed she was the one right before him. He felt that the only person Argent would send was Vivian and was only focused on giving Vivian the worst treatment of her life. Harley's surprised gaze traveled down Alex, surprised tht he was the president.She inched closer to him to clear her curiosity, asking innocently. "Alex, are you the president of this company?" She then gasped, "And you allowed me disrespect you last night?" Caught off guard, Alex found himself at a loss for words. He observed the shock on Harley's face, running his hands through his hair in confusion. His mind suddenly clicked. He swiftly turned his attention to Barney, signaling him to say something.Understanding what Alex meant, Barney nodded in understanding. Barney suddenly released a wide smile and gestured towards a seat, "Please take a seat. He is my assistant." He said.Alex breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like giving Barney a kiss at that moment. He didn't want to risk revealing his identit

    "Huh?" Barney raised one of his brows. "No, I was just saying, not like I have any idea who it is. But Master, I think you should be very careful henceforth," he added."Of course, and it will be starting today. Rockson, arrange for six of the guards to follow me!" Alex said. "Yes boss!" Rockson responded and left to carry out his orders.Alex left for the penthouse and changed into a casual fit to go and see Harley.

The enemy might be watching his move, right?Harley had texted him that the place there were to meet was Upwest restaurant.After he arrived at the restaurant, he surveyed the interior of the building.

    Vivian looked up at Alex with burning fury in her eyes. Her hands itched to give him a slap that instant, but she controlled herself. What the hell did he think he was???She looked around, and luckily for her, only a few people recorded. But hold on, can't these Texas people do without recording embarrassing scenes????Lord, she hated embarrassment! Even though her legs were hurting badly, she stood up and expected Alex to give her an apology. After all, Alex was a guy who never liked to hurt a woman. But Alex stood there, not even giving her a look. To him, he was only protecting Harley from her dubious step sister. She then shifted her gaze to Harley, who was overwhelmed with everything happening. When she noticed how Alex had made her embrace him, she withdrew herself quickly. "Wow, it all makes sense to me now. You bunch of idiots, especially you, Alex. You dare to push me, huh? Just to save your sugar mommy, right?" Vivian bellowed with deep rage burning within her, while Al

    Vivian taunted Alex. She knew from the start tht Alex was only joking; how could he pay for it? Of course, he was a poor rat, no change even after six months! She decided to strike a good pose. She folded across her arms across her chest, giving him a disgusted look.On another hand, Alex was dumbfounded. He was sure he always took his black card with him while going out! Watching all these, the waitress at the counter scoffed. "Do you think this place is a joke? It seems you don't know where the fuck you are, or do you want me to call the security guards to give you a beating? Do you think we offer free meals here?" She looked at him in disgust, ready to cause trouble, while Vivian still found it amusing.To add more fuel to the fire, Vivian cleared her throat. "I will never regret leaving you, Alex!" She said sarcastically.The waitress heard it and was shocked. But still not to shocked. Of course, how would someone as shameless at he man in front of her care for the beautiful la

    Alex violently pushed Amos to the floor, and he fell on him, getting dust all over his shirt.But he quickly stood up without dusting the dirt off, and looked at where the bullet was shot from, and saw it was from the top of the building opposite them. But the person was already escaping, and he knew even if wanted to go after him, it was useless."Amos, are you alright?" He asked with genuine concern, turning to Amos. He was still on the floor, his eyes wide open in shock at what just happened.Alex helped him stand up and checked if the gun had hit any part of his body. But thankfully, no one had been injured.The bullet had missed its target, instead hitting and bursting one of the tires on Amos's car."I'm fine, son. Are you alright?" Amos asked, touching Alex's face with a hand as they embraced, both feeling a sense of relief. Amos then stood up, finding it strange. "Alex, where did the red light come from?" Amos inquired and Alex pointed towards the tall building opposite them.

    When she saw Alex tightening his fists, she mistook it for fear. She confirmed that truly, she was just some street boy or temporarily mad man who came there after fighting.She placed her hands on her forehead and sighed, leaving the place to call the guards.Alex was about to take out his phone to call Amos when he sighted him coming back with the manager and director of the museum.Judas Yates gazed at Felix from head to toe. He shook his head, "young man, you should be sure before jumping head-first into something. How would you be able to purchase this kind of artwork? Though you look a bit familiar, but who knows, maybe you were once my bodyguard! With all due respect, you should just leave. Let the real competitors decide!"Alex was taken aback by his rude manner ofspeech. He was really dressed and reflected the aura of a noble and well-mannered person, but beneath those, lied an arrogant personality.Alex was about to speak when he heard Amos' voice.

    She collected her phone, as she began changing the name then handed it over to him to look at it. "Hubby...I think this is nice" She rolled her eyes as she took it from him then put it inside her bag, she stood up from the car, as he gave her a bye. She smiled at him as he zoomed off, her smile widened as she walked into the gate of the mansion, she looked at the ring again and smiled, she was so happy with it and she knew about it.Now it's time to tell her dad the good news, immediately she opened the parlor door, she saw him sitting down on the couch watching a film. As she ran to him and hugged him with a smile on her face, he jerked up because of how she jumped on him as he looked at her confused. "What's making you this happy?" He asked out of curiosity."Guess what dad" she said as he tried to understand what she was trying to talk about and also he couldn't guess it as he shook his head.Suddenly she stretched her hands showing him the ring as he took her hands and remove

    She accepts.

    Harley was so shocked that she believed what her eyes were seeing or was she hallucinating?.Of course not, it was Alex at her front on knees with a ring in his hands, she couldn't help but feel that it was a mystery. "Alex, are you serious right now?" She asked trying to know whether it was a prank or not but hopefully it wasn't, she could see it in his eyes the way he glared at her with so much love. Alex was waiting for her response he could feel his hands aching as his hands were stretched forth holding the ring. He smiled widely as she brought her fingers nearer to him, he quickly wore the ring on her finger. "Is..is that a yes?" He stammered as she nodded her head covering her mouth with her hands.She glanced at the ring spreading her fingers as she saw the name written on it, so she was finally going to get married to him. He stood up on the floor as he spread his arms and she wrapped her hands round his shoulders with a smile of excitement on her face.She wouldn't lie b

    The Proposal.

    Harley was done with work preparations as she left the company already tired, it was five o'clock as she yawned feeling sleepy, she booked a taxi as she zoomed off going back home, when suddenly she saw a missed call from Vivian, she sighed as she called her back then she picked up. "Harley, are you ignoring me? Even you? Because I'm a murderer's Wife?" Vivian rudely spoke as she rolled her eyes, she didn't know why she called back."I was busy, and I don't judge like your fake friends do, if they want to leave they can leave but you are my sister, you get it?" She assured her. "Please I need you to come help me pack my things, I'm finally moving back to my father's house" "Alright, buy why...?"Before she could finish talking she had already cut the call. "Hey! Please take me to the Robert Mansion, at the other street" He nodded as he began to take a U turn. "Long time to see Harley" the driver said with a smile on his face as she squeezed her forehead and gazed at him, she ro

    Ruby Ring.

    Alex reached the house as he came down from the car, he strolled inside as the maid bowed his head, he smiled at her. "Where is Rockson?" "I really don't know sir but either at the rooftop or in his room" she responded with her head bowed as he strolled upstairs, he knocked on his door like three times but he didn't open it, so that will mean that he is at the rooftop. He opened his door as he saw a medium box on his bed, he smirked as he went to it, he sat down on the bed and began unboxing it. After removing the box, he saw that another box was placed to cover it, he removed like three boxes before he could get the ring. He opened the Blue Ring Box, which was so small in his hands he smiled when he saw the first letter of his name and her name merged together. He couldn't express just how much this made his day. The red ruby Ring was so glittering and attractive, he was about to insert it into his fingers as he shook his head and dropped it back. It was meant for Harley's fin

    Surprised Papers.

    Alex turned to look at him as he gave him a nod that all will be alright if he leaves. He stood up as he walked past the room door,he saw Vivian standing with a paper in her hands, she smiled at him. "Please don't give him troubles so that Nothing bad would happen to him and it won't complicates his health issues the more"Alex warned, whispering as she nodded. Though she was surprised at his behavior towards him she knew how they hated each other a lot, so she wasn't expecting this. "Don't worry Alex, just a formalities that needs to be done and that's all" She said as Alex sighed as he strolled out of the hospital, he entered his car, as he began to think what she meant by that, suddenly his phone began to ring as he picked it up when the ID showed Rockson. "Any problem Rockson?" "No sir, it's just a delivery box from Mrs. Zoe, she said I should hand it over to you when you return, is that okay by you or I should give it back to her?" He asked for his permission as Alex smirke

    At the Hospital.

    "Alex it's you?" He muttered with a shaky voice as he slightly nodded his head, who was he expecting apart from him, was it Vivian?"I don't have much time left Alex" Even though he wasn't dead yet Alex felt like he was already dead, he just tried to control the tears that were about to fall down. "I could swear that I tried but no lawyer was able to take up your case, even top lawyers said that your case as already been ended before it started because of the evidence placed on you" He explained to him as he couldn't imagine that it was the same Person whom he ridiculed so much and planned to kill for his lover was here with him. He held onto his tight and a little smile showed on his lips. "It's okay Alex, at least you knew that everything they accused me of and I'm going to jail for, was a pure lie and it's too obvious" he muttered as his breath was shaking, because of the pain but he couldn't get up at least sit on the bed, he couldn't do that. Not only because of the pain in

    Gunshot.

    Daniel instead of crying he just smiled, even though the tears were threatening to come down when his heart was already broken. Alex looked at him as if he didn't know when his eyes were red, he was innocent enough not to deserve this kind of judgment, it's literally too much. To death by hanging?, For a crime he was sure they didn't investigate well, since the evidence alone was enough to prove that he committed all the crimes they were accusing him of, there wasn't need of investigating most lawyers believed in the evidence they see. Harley wrapped her hands on his arm feeling not okay, even though she sees him as a bad person, she wasn't ready to cry when he is dead, it was really painful to die for the crimes you don't know about also. She also hoped that heavens would accept him, or a savior would come to his rescue at the jail. She gazed at her sister, she could see a bit of sadness in her eyes, as she stood like the rest but her eyes were focused on him, even though she wa

    The Judgement.

    Of course he doesn't deserve it, but all is well, as they waited for the judge to come. He saw Vivian coming in, thinking that she was going to be sad or something. Instead she sighed and sat down at the back with her hands crossed on her laps, gazing at Daniel's direction where he was being seated.Though she didn't look at Alex's direction but in her mind she was regretting getting married to him and wished that she never listened to her father, she truly left Gold for Stone. She rolled her eyes frowning her face as her eyes met Alex's gaze she then smiled at him as he rolled his eyes and faced his front he wondered why she did that and she was giving a disgusting look to Daniel. It better not be what he was thinking, Harley should be at least sad that her husband was going to jail and also she would have rolled her eyes when she caught eyesight with him."Court!" Alex raised his eyebrows up as everyone stood up including him and Harley as they saw a woman judge coming from the

    Court.

    "it's the way and manner he entered without asking any questions and just shot a dead stare at us, we flustered sir" Of course he believed them, as he signaled them to get up on their feet, next time he would ask questions before taking any action and the action depends on the person, they were like his father's age and he should respect them at least even though he shouldn't show it because they are his workers. "What time is his final judgment?" He asked Rockson."10am sir, and it's almost time, this is just 9:30" Alex nodded his head as he got into his car, he picked up his phone and called Matt, as he picked up. "Hey bro, should I come pick you up if you are ready to go to the court?" He asked him as he sighed."Any problem?" Alex asked. "Yes though, I don't know why but I feel pity for him, he doesn't deserve this even though he killed his father, I think Amos deserved the death" Alex nodded in agreement, he was right after all."I agree with you, I'm even contemplating on
