"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
Soon the questions started pouring in. "Sir, what are your plans on getting the building back?""Mr. Alex, this is the second time your company building is collapsing. Does this mean that you are using low quality raw materials and they can't withstand the weather conditions of our state?""Sir, some people believe that this is actually an inside work. They believe that the building was made to collapse by your rivals. How true is this?" Immediately, Damien raised his hand for the reporters to maintain silence and him and Alex sat down. "Please you need to stay calm. We understand that you have a lot of questions but first, we would like to address some matters before you can start asking all the questions that you actually wish to. But for now, please just stay calm and listen," Damien said, calming the roaring crowd and giving room for Alex to speak. "And let me just add this, if during this speech, we are being interrupted by any reporter with their questions, such a reporter wi
"Let's cheers to the success. You know for a second there, I did not think that we were going to make it but of course we sailed through," a man whose face was hidden behind the shade provided by the curtain said. One could hear the happiness in his voice as he spoke and no one dared question him. The room itself was dark but one could see the faces of the five other men who sat with suits on what appeared to be a round table. From a golden cup, they drank what could be termed as wine even though it looked much more red than normal red wines do.At the side sat a young man, not older than 24 looking at the crowd that filled the room with horror, wishing he could be anywhere but there. The young boy was none other than Billy. "Billy, come on now. You have to join us in this celebration. It's not everyday that you get a win like this." Paying more attention to the voice of the man who spoke in the dark, it was none other than his father and Billy was slowly getting scared of the old m
"What is this?" He said with so much anger once he saw Alex face."It's a live press conference, sir. And I think you will be interested to know what the man has been saying." The young boy said as he played the video. "So Mr. Alex, do you know that lots of people were hurt during this and some people even lost their lives? Have do you plan to make this up to the families involved because I hear that you only want to give them $1,000 for medical bills, ""What? I can assure you of this, we will not stoop so low as to giving that kind of money to people that we know really need our help. My company understands that this incident has affected so many lives and we will not just stand by and watch them suffer alone. We will go out of our way to help. For those injured, I gathered we have about 10 people who have been injured and we will be taking care of their medical bills till they recover and for the two people that were pronounced dead, we will visit their homes and ensure that we gi
Knowing fully well that he will not be able to get more patterns especially since he was broke, Daniel slowly let go of his son but not without the promise of going to ruin the boy's life. "If I eventually find out that you are the one behind all of this, I will make sure you suffer terribly for it and by the time I get done with you, you will not believe what is going to happen." He said angrily and moved away. "Good, now call the boys of yours and let us know exactly where this problem is coming from." The men all said and waited for him to make the call. Daniel called the leader of the gang and remembered how he was a feared leader of this gang till Alex took his company and left him with nothing. The only reason he wasn't removed was because they all had a shared hatred for Alex and he had promised them that if they did not allow him to still be their leader then he will not share his plans on how to ruin the boy. Daniel's big idea was to be ruin his company by making people los
