Alex woke up with Ivy wrapped around him. He turned and looked at her. She had a soft smile of contentment on her face as she slept and Alex knew that he did a job with her last night. He did not know that she would ever admit to her feelings and crave a one night stand with him. Especially with him gone, he had believed that she would easily forget about him and move on. He never for once thought that she would be on his bed in his new apartment, shivering with pleasure and asking for more. He smiled as he remembered everything that happened. He did not expect to like it either but somehow, he just couldn't stop thinking about it. He tried to get out of the bed and head on to prepare for his day. But his slight movement made her stir and wake up. "Hey," she said with a smile on her face. "Good morning," Alex's voice was deep and it ran through her spine, making her shiver once again. "Are you okay?" Alex asked, concerned when he saw her shivering. "Is the place too cold? I can t
Alex looked at her and did not know what to say. He could not agree to everything she said but he knew that he had an amazing time with her on the bed. She was flexible and made all the right sounds and said all the right words. But he was not in love with her and he knew that one day, that would be a problem to them. He was not ready to risk his friendship with her because of that. "Ivy, I won't lie to you. That sounds like a wonderful idea but just as you were honest with me, I also have to be honest with you. I am not in love with you and I don't think I can be. I know that right now you may not see the problem this will cause but I am telling you that after a while, this will lead to lots of problems for us because you will fall in love and when you do fall in love, I won't be able to do anything or even love you back. That is one of the worst ways to kill a person and I don't want to do that to you. So I don't think this is a good idea for us " "What if I promise you that I won
Alex wasted no time in finding out the truth. First he turned to Andres."What is she doing here?" He asked."I have no idea sir. I only got here when you did." Andres responded.Hissing, he turned on his heels and headed to Damien's office. "Finally, I was beginning to think that you would never get here today," Damien excalimed once he saw Alex. "I don't have the time for that blackmail. What was Aurora doing here?" He asked urgently."Who is Aurora?" Damien was confused. He had never heard the name come out from his mouth before and he did not even have anyone who would go by that name. "Look, Aurora is a red haired girl with brown eyes who just left here few minutes ago.""And why do you care if she just left here few minutes ago? What does it matter?" "Because she was dressed formally and she never dresses that way before. Look I know what I am saying. This is very strange, now what I need you to do for me is to just find out what she is doing here and let me know what to do
Natalie sat still and it felt like cold water had just been poured on her. Alex looked at her slightly, allowing her to take in the full meaning of what he had just said. He knew he was hurting her but if she had just behaved like a good girl and taken the position he gave her without complaining or asking for more, he would not have to let the cat out of the bag. "You can't blame grandpa though. After all, he had no idea that you even existed. The person you should actually be blaming is the one you call your mother. You should blame her because if she had told our grandfather anything at all, then I am sure that he would have included you in his will " "You mean the same person that killed my father?!" She said with so much rage. "Do you understand how angry I am? Do you have any idea the number of things I want to do that would hurt you?" She said as she slammed her hand on his desk. "Why? What did I do that hurt you?" Alex said, sitting up. He would not allow Natalie to threate
Alex could not believe that she would actually consider working for him. What was her plan? She had told him over and over again that she did not want to be anywhere close to him, so why would she go the extra mile to apply for a job in his company when she knew that she would be seeing him every day. Was she having money problems? If she was , why did she not just talk to him about it. He was ready to do anything that she wanted as long as it would make her happy and she was not interested in him but somehow, she was in his company seeking for employment."What position?" Alex asked."Digital marketer," Damien responded. "Wait, who is this girl exactly?" Natalie asked as she sat down again."And what is it to you?" Alex asked "Aren't you the same person that said I should try and be receptive and caring. Now I am doing exactly what you wanted, you still have a problem with it?" Natalie asked."Oh cut it out already," Alex said and leaned back on his chair. Damien had never seen hi
Damien blinked his eyes twice. He needed to be sure that he as actually talking to Alexander Albert and no one else. He looked at the young boy that he was coaching and wondered if he knew the implication of what he said. They did not know if Aurora was actually the mole or not but if she was, he would have to kill all emotions he had towards her because she would use that emotions to ruin him and ruin the company."What do you mean by that?" Damien asked after a while."I meant exactly what I said Damien. Now do you see why I am so stressed out?" Alex asked as he ran his hand through his hair."Well at least, I am happy that you understand the importance of the situation. For you to be stressed, you understand that you can't be with that girl." "Look, apart from not being able to be with her because she maybe the mole, she told me just yesterday, that I should not be anywhere close to her. She told me over and over again that I should stay far away from her. Now, if she wants me to

Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said. "Who did this test?" "Trust me sir. We are not lukewarm and incompetent over here. I had that test done by people who actually know what they are doing and for it to come out this way, it mean
Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results. We did and you would never believe who is be
"Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know." "Well my face has to be like this because most of her bones have been broken and even though we have not done am x-ray scan on her yet, we are positive that this may just be across her entire body. And you know how long it takes for bone to heal." Alex understood. Ivy would have to go through another set of pains. "doctor, as long as it is something that can be fixed and you know how to fix it, I will say that you do not bother yourself and ju
Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to
The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa
The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it
Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?" He asked in outrage but Alex
"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked. "Well you guys would have just served your time and gotten out of prison as free women. What do you think is going to happen if Alex does not decide to go through with your plan." "Are you serious?" Rebecca said as she turned to look
Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
