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
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
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
Alexander Brooke straightened his worn jacket and smoothed his hair, eager to impress. He knocked on the grand door of his girlfriend father's house, his confidence wavering. He fell for Vivian two years ago in college. Their love grew, and when he proposed, she told him that her father's approval was first needed for the marriage. That was what brought him there under the hot sun.After a while, the door opened to reveal Vivian standing behind it. Her angelic face beamed. "You're here, love!" Vivian's warm face calmed Alex's nerves. He could never stop loving her. They hugged, then she led him inside.The spacious living room astounded him, flanked by plush sofas and original works of art. Her father was undoubtedly wealthy. However, his enthusiasm soon disappeared when Argent McCall, Vivian's father, frowned at the sight of him. Alex felt tension in the air. At 190cm, handsome and 23, he stood tall, but clearly poor. Would Argent still accept him? What if he laughed in hi
Alex walked out of the house, head lowered and expression terrible. Was Argent planning to frustrate him? Where on Earth did he except an ordinary lot attendant to manufacture such an extravagant amount in such a short period?!“But if you don't come up with the money, my word stands...” Those were the last words of Argent before he left the house. His heart began to race, and his palms grew clammy. Get her married to someone else? He couldn't let that happen! The stakes were truly high, and failure was not an option.****As soon as he reached home, Alex headed straight to the bathroom for a shower. He scrubbed himself clean, trying to wash away all the stress and tension from the day. But nothing was going off. After drying himself off, he trudged to his small bedroom, where he found Matt, his best friend already fast asleep.He sighed, feeling the weight of the day's events bearing down on him. His eyes were still open, and he couldn't stop replaying everything Argent had said ab
Alex felt his heart sink as Argent's words sank in. He never knew he had something to do with his termination of job. What did he ever do wrong to that man? He clenched his fists, trying to suppress the anger rising within him. "You can't do this!”But Argent just laughed, his eyes glinting with malice. "We'll see about that!" The line went dead, and Alex was left staring at his phone in disbelief. Could his life get any frustrating than this? He clenched his fists, fighting back angry tears. How had he failed so miserably? His phone rang again and he picked it up in anger. “Aren't you satisfied already?!” Alex realised it wasn't Argent's call. He didn't even check the caller ID before barking like a bull dog. He saw that the call was from the hospital his mother was being treated for cancer. His heart missed two beats as he answered back."Hello?" Alex said, his voice trembling."Is this Mr. Alexander Brooke?" the voice on the other end asked."Yes, this is Alex. Is there any prob
The clock was ticking as Alex struggled on the final day of the challenge. He had lost his job and was barely making ends meet with menial work. After his friend Matt's promotion, Alex felt alone in the empty house they once shared.Matt had been more than a friend, he was like a brother to Alex. He didn't want to burden him any further. Memories of his late mother flooded his mind, and he wished she was still there to help. The thought of losing Vivian and her cold-hearted father made his heart ache.Suddenly, his encounter with his mother's best friend, Edmundo in the hospital kept replaying in his mind. He remembered his words of comfort: "I'll be there for you." With nowhere else to turn, Alex searched for Edmundo's business card and dialed the number written on it. He hesitated, but Edmundo's words of comfort gave him the courage to press "call."After two rings, Edmundo answered."Hey, Alex, it's been a while. Do you have any problems?" The man's calm voice asked over the phone
He glanced at Alex with a sneer, already knowing the answer. "No, I don't think so. You're just a pathetic loser who can't even provide for yourself, let alone a woman like Vivian!"Alex boiled in anger. How could this man speak to him with such superiority?“Look at you, Alex,” she sneered, her voice oozing contempt. “You think you're good enough for me? You can barely afford a decent suit, let alone take care of someone like me. You're a nobody, a waste of space!”Alex's heart sank, tears forming in his eyes as he gazed at the angelic face of Vivian. He couldn't believe she could be so cruel, so heartless.He had always believed Vivian loved him for who he was, but now he saw the truth - her love was conditional, based on what he could buy for her."I love you, Vivian, I respect you, and I'm loyal to you," he said, his voice trembling. His eyes watered. "Why are you doing this to me?"Vivian scoffed, a mocking laugh that pierced Alex's heart like a poisoned knife.While Daniel could
