"Please don't die, stay with me," Alex cried out as he saw Barney's body temperature rising and his condition more unstable.

The best he could do to stop the blood was to cover the wound with his suit jacket.

Now where the hell is Rockson??

Suddenly, he heard a vehicle rushing towards them. Finally, Rockson had arrived.

"Over here!" As he stood up and waved, Rockson sped up.

"Boss!" Rockson sprinted towards them, panicking at the state of Barney who still losing a lot of blood. He quickly lifted him into the car.

"Please speed up to the hospital! Nothing must happen to him!" Alex said urgently and worriedly.

Rockson nodded, checking the rearview mirror with concern at how blood-stained Alex looked.

Reaching the hospital, Rockson hurried out and lifted Barney onto a stretcher that the nurses had brought. He couldn't bear the fact that Barney had been stabbed and was worried for his condition.

Alex quickly fixed his tire with the spare in his boot. He was thankful the man who stabbed

    When they finally reached the hospital - the same one where they had taken Barney - Amos dropped them off as he quickly took Alex off the car and put him onto a stretcher. After they were done stitching him up and giving him lots of treatment, Alex couldn't feed himself. Harley collected the meal from his hand as she began to feed him. He was sitting on the bed, receiving an IV drip with Harley at his left side.He kept staring at her face, which looked so innocent on the surface. One would think she couldn't hurt a fly! He was just fully amazed at how strong she was beneath that innocent appearance.She dropped the plate, then cleaned his lips with a napkin to dab away what was left on them. Alex yanked her hands away immediately; his heart began to beat heavily and he looked away, but she mistook it for something else. "Look, I don't want you to see me as a bad person or like a thug - just know that I saved your life," she assured him. As he turned to her, instead of asking

    As she requested the answer, she stared deep into his eyes.Alex had to sigh, almost dumbfounded."Don't think like that, I did all that because of security, Harley. Please don't get me wrong - you're a nice person and I've never seen you as a whore," Alex explained to her as she turned her face in another direction, not smiling. She was still thinking over whether to accept the fact that he lied to her. She also thought that he may have had other reasons for doing that, so she sighed."That's not what's important now. Just recover, and maybe keep a low profile - I think that's best," she said. Alex nodded and smiled. After treatment, by then she wasn't there anymore. Alex wore his dress, wanting to go see if Barney was awake.After he was done, Alex went straight to Barney's room. However, on the way, he stumbled into someone, and the papers in his hand fell to the ground. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" the man said angrily. Alex apologized."Oops, my bad." He bent down to

    "Sir, what's going on?" Joyce asked as she noticed he wasn't bringing out his credit card for payment. Her brows knotted and she frowned."Are you that daft? Can't you see he can't afford to buy the watch??" Wick mocked. "It seems you don't have anything reasonable to do than waste your time talking to Alex the Loser." Alex rolled his eyes and ignored Wick. She couldn't stop and wait for him as she had other customers to attend to, so she left them to work.Without hesitation, Alex thought of something to remove the shame. He brought out his phone and called Rockson. "Bring my credit card to Zome Jewelry shop, and don't waste my time," he said curtly and hung up.He caught Wick throwing disparaging glances at him, looking at Alex the same demeaning way he did when bullying Alex at SALMAS company.He couldn't help but run his mind back to how they all treated him in the company, seeing him as someone bound to be an errand boy.

    "I was passing by and decided to stop and take a drink and that is how I met you here,"She did a quick survey of his outlook. "And what are you doing here? You look like you're in disguise," she asked.Alex thought whether to tell her about it or not. But then he noticed he was running out of time and had to catch up with the person before he succeed in taking or doing what he was sent to do. "Don't worry I'll be back. Help me watch over my laptop first," he said and stood up immediately, ensuring she had no time to ask the same question.This was the only chance he could use to catch the spy, so he better not mess it up or make it look suspicious.

    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 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.

    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
