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
As soon as Alex got to school, he saw Brittany waiting for him at the gate. He sighed when he saw her rushing to his side with a look of anger "Dear Lord what does she want now?" He asked himself as he stood still and waited for her. "Alex, did you not know that you were supposed to call me last night?" She asked without so much as greeting him"And why was I supposed to do that? Last time I checked, I am not owning you anything at all.""Are you really that daft? We are going to a party together tonight and because of that, I can't just bring you to come meet my parents without them suspecting that something is happening between us. I mean, for the love of God, they won't believe anything I say." Alex shook his head as he tried to understand what she was talking about. "Okay, what exactly are you talking about?" He asked. "I am talking about you not calling me and even when I tried to reach out to you, you did not pick. How am I supposed to convince my parents now that we are in
"Brittany, have you actually lost it? Look, snap out of whatever you are thinking okay. That guy is not in your league and I am not going to allow you dream about someone like that. So snap out of whatever you are currently thinking, okay?" Her friend, Valerie said."Look, you don't understand it. Something is very different about him. He is not like the other guys I usually talk to." "And that's because he is broke." Valarie interrupted, not giving her a chance to complete her statement. "Listen to me Brittany, people like that are below you okay? You can't actually stoop to their level and allow him to wash your head with his swag because that is all he has. He knows very well how to act big but he is very small. So keep whatever you are thinking out of your head.""So what, are you saying I should settle for that boy my parents want me to be with?" "That is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that instead of you to continuously lust over this boy when you know very well tha
Alex watched in horror as his friends walked away. He knew he would have to go the extra mile to make it up to them and get them to forgive him. He was ready to do all that it took and he was not going to try and be sly about it at all. They were friends and it was normal for friends to argue but what he would not allow is for their arguement to take months and he would finally have to watch in horror as they all left him. He promised himself that he would fix it. He could not lose them. They were his brothers and he would not live his life without having the security of being with his brothers. As Alex was about leaving, he bumped into Brittany and sighed in exhaustion."I really hope you are not following me," he said when he saw that she was the one. "I should actually be the one asking you that question since you are always around me. What exactly is the problem, huh?" She asked. "Do you miss me that much that you badly need to see my face at every time?" "If you are done flat
Valerie looked at her friend and did not even know what to tell her. She could not believe that he would think so lowly of her. But of course she would. She never opened her eyes fully to see it.. Brittany could not even tell when a man was just using her for her father's money and her father had a lot of it and half of that money, he spent it on Brittany and Brittany would spend it on anyone who cared to give her the attention of the day. Valerie loved her. She cared for her and always wanted to protect her but sometimes, the woman was a real thron in the flesh and she did not hesitate to do everything that could actually make her get back her senses. But still she did not. Everytime she would get her heart broken by a guy she had trusted, the same guy that Valerie would warn her about. The same guy that Valerie would tell her that he just wanted her money but she would not listen. She would dive head in into such arrangements and when the guy was done eating her money or he felt li
As soon as they got into the office, Alex went straight to Damien's office. His assistant had already informed him that the young man was inside, waiting patiently for him and so Alex entered the office."You are supposed to go to your office and then allow me to come meet you," Damien said without looking up.Alex could see someone sitting and he immediately apologized. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you had someone with you here. You see, your assistant told me that you were alone in here, that was why I came in.""That's because I instructed him to say that. This is the August Visitor that you have. I could not allow him to be waiting outside so I had to invite him to come wait here with me." Damien explained."And exactly who is this if I may ask?" "Hi," the man finally spoke as he stood up and gave Asked a firm handshake. "My name is Tony and I am Davina's father."As soon as Alex heard that name, his face changed. He did not know what the man was here for but he could already tell
The sight that Alex and Damien rushed to see almost made them burst into laughter. Outside were a bunch of men who had told them that they would not make it without them in the business. A bunch of men who had claimed to be the ones holding the company. A bunch of men who had thought that the company would crumble without them."Well well well, look what we have here?" Alex said mockingly. "I knew they would come back but what I don't understand is why are they doing a protest instead of just begging us to give them their position back." "Well, I don't think pride will allow them to do any of that. You see, unfortunately, it has eaten deep into them." Damien responded and Alex could not agree more with him Walking towards them, the crowd immediately went mute and people with their phones turning the camera to him. "What exactly is happening here?" Alex asked, as if he did not already know why they were there. "Mr. Alex, we don't know how you did it but we believe that you must ha
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
