Ivy staggered as she heard the news. She never thought it would run so deep or hurt so badly and she was amazed to see it do. "What did you say?" She asked after a while of silent. Alex had allowed her to stay quiet. He never said a single word to her and he tried his best to not allow his emotions to show on his face but he was sure that he was doing a terrible job already because when Ivy looked at him, somehow her eyes welled up with more sadness in them. "Alex, what did you just say to me?" She asked again. Her voice was still coming out as a whisper. If Alex was not sure before of how she felt about him, he became sure immediately he heard her voice. It sounded so sad and so much filled with sorrow."I said that I am in love with someone else," he repeated himself and watched as tears formed in her eyes. She sniffled, fighting back the tears that wanted to fall and looked at him in sadness. "who is she?" She finally asked and Alex wondered where she got the strength from. He
Alex knew her body well and he wanted to explore it but he was also a man that knew how to control himself. He took his hand off her boobs and stood up from the bed."Go and get dressed, Ivy," he said with a hint of finality ending all thoughts of anything sexual happening between him and her in her head. He could see the disappointment on her face but he knew that one day, she would be thanking him for what he did. "Fine," Ivy said with disappointment written all over her face. She walked into the bathroom and Alex heaved a sigh of relief. The woman did not look that upset with him and he knew that he would have to be careful with the words that he said around her. It would take just a little thing to provoke her and he did not want that to happen. Ivy came out few minutes later, dressed in her night gown that wasn't revealing in any way. She had tried to keep everything hidden and Alex could only hope that the look of her beautiful skin would not make him want her again. "You ca
Ivy was shocked. She had never seen Alex that angry before and she never thought that she would ever see him that upset. She did not know who this person was but she could tell that the woman had a very strong grip on him and had him feeling things she could not understand. "Okay, calm down," Ivy said as she sat upright. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pass that frustration to you but it's just really annoying to have to endure all of these feelings." "Why? Haven't you felt this way before?" She asked. "The last time I felt this way, it was for a woman that did not even deserve it. Somehow, I just end up choosing the wrong people all the time. My last girlfriend, she left me because I was broke and she went to an old man who could give her money." "Are you serious? I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Ivy apologized."Well it was really painful. I know I tried to act macho and I fooled some people to believe that I wasn't hurt but I was. I was deeply hurt and I don't think that

"Good morning handsome," Alex was awoken by the sweet sound made by Ivy's melodic voice. She did not even try to hide her excitement of waking up next to him and Alex loved the feeling as well. He wasn't romantically attracted to her but he did care for her like he would a sister. After all, she did everything in her power to ensure that he was okay and strong, it was only fair that he showed her the same care that she did to him. "Is everything okay? You are not saying a word!" Ivy asked when he laid in bed silently. "Nothing. I just never thought we would get to the point of being this close." "How do you mean?" "Well you are lying next to me in bed and I don't have this overwhelming zeal to push you off. I just never thought it would come to be." "Does it make you happy or sad that it's like this?" She asked. "It makes me happy," Alex said with a soft look in his eyes and for the first time, Ivy felt a strange surge of emotions running through her. She had never felt that wa
Alex stepped into his company and he was met with a tensed atmosphere. Everyone looked at him as if they had been waiting for his arrival and he suddenly did not know why they all came to work so early. It wasn't even 8am and it seemed like everyone that his company had ever employed were in the office. Including Aurora. He saw her walk towards him when he entered the building and she kept taking slow steps towards him as if she was weary to walk hastily and get him upset. Alex gave one look in her direction before he turned and walked towards the elevator. He did not need to tell Andres to try and keep the woman away from him. Andres was observant enough and he knew how to restrain her when she got too close. Alex heard the commotion coming from them behind him and he wondered if she had seriously expected that she would be given the opportunity to just talk to him after what she had done. He did not even try to say anything about what she did. He did not even answer her when she
Alex saw his door opening and he noticed as Natalie walked in with a sad look on her face. "It's not true, is it?" She asked before even greeting."Well first you will sit down and then ask me how I am doing before jumping to what you just said. Afte all, I thought we were actually family..isn't family supposed to care about one another?" Alex asked with a smile on his face. "Alex come on now. This is not the time to be joking around. I just heard some very disatrous news and I would really love for you to tell me that it's not true. Please tell me that this is not what is supposed to happen. Please tell me that this did not happen. " She pleaded. "Well for you to have heard about it, then that means that it obviously did happen." "What is the actual meaning of this now? I thought this happened before. How come it happened again?" Alex looked up from his laptop slowly. He did not say a single word, he just sat and looked at Natalie. He knew the woman had not spent that much with
"What did you do?" Natalie asked as soon as he ended the call. "I did what was needed and I would really appreciate it if you did not question me on this matter." "Well someone needs to talk you out of this nonsense you want to do. Do you have any idea how much the company will lose if you give out those properties at a 30% discount?!" She raged. "And do you have any idea how much we would lose if we start giving them a refund and lose them as clients?!" "None of them is asking for a refund and none of them will. Look, right now we can't afford to lose this amount of money during this period!" "Can you listen to yourself talk? It is very obvious that you don't understand how this game works so why don't you just leave it for me, okay? I believe you have some things that you want to do right?""Yeah, and one of them is to talk you out of this stupid decision. And don't you talk to me like I am stupid!" She said standing up and staring down at him. "Alex!" Damien came in just in t
