Alex hoped that it was a lie. He stared at Andres, hoping that the man would burst out in laughter any minute but that did not happen. The man never laughed and he did not even find anything he was saying amusing. How could he have been so blinded by love? Alex thought to himself as he used his hands to ruffle his hair. The knock on the door persisted and soon, tired of Nancy behaving that way, he screamed "come in Nancy!" But it wasn't Nancy that came in. It was Aurora, walking like an innocent girl desperate to get any sort of sympathy. Alex had none for her. Just by looking at her, he could feel his blood boiling. He wanted nothing more than to make her suffer for what she was putting him through but the young man had better plans lined up for her. He would not show fear, neither would he allow her to know that he knew what she was up to but he was going to make sure that she never had that edge over him again. "How can I help you?" He asked sternly and the young woman shivered a
"Go on then," he said. "When you left, I was feeling so bad because of what I did and I wanted to apologize but before doing that, I wanted to be sure that you were not seeing someone secretly in your company. So I came in here to make sure of that and also to be in close contact with you." Aurora was good at a lot of things but the one thing she was terrible at was lying. She could not lie to save her life and she made it obvious right there and then again. "You want me to actually believe that you came to work in my company just so that you could see if I was dating someone else?" She asked. "Yes and also to be close to you," she said as she moved in again, desperate to once again get his attention through touching. "Oh and how did that work out for you?" He played along, not wanting her to know that he could clearly see through her pathetic lies. "Well for one, not so great. I mean I already feel so bad about what I did to you and I haven't been able to get close to you becau
Immediately she walked out, Alex and Ivy bursted out in laughter. Alex could not believe how much he had enjoyed what he had just witnessed. He thought that he would not be able to see her being sad but it brought it a strange sense of satisfaction, that was when he knew that he was slowly getting over her. As soon as Aurora got outside, she had to fight back the tears that threatened to fall from her face. It was her fault actually. She was the one who did not give in to her feelings early enough. She was busy acting tough and she wanted Alex to keep begging and running after her like a dog. But the man wasn't a boy and he got the message loud and clear and quickly got a replacement for her. She could not believe that he actually got a replacement for her but she was seeing it happen and could not say a thing anymore. She stood by the doorway and sniffled. She could feel the cold yet worried gaze of his secretary on her and she immediately composed herself to walk away. But her he
When Ivy pulled away, Alex almost did not want to kiss to end and he pulled her back in, locking her in with his hands. He sucked on her lips like he has been hungry for it all his life and Ivy took in the passion with which he kissed her with. Finally, he pulled away. "Wow," Ivy said, still sitting on Alex's legs as Alex slowly drew her dangling hair from her face."I know." "It hasn't felt like that before, has it?" Ivy asked him, smiling."No, it hasn't. This felt like a bond being formed. I had an idea that you were actually such a good kisser but I never thought that I would be pulled in that way." Alex admitted "I must say that this feels amazing to me as well. I wonder why!" She asked while raising her eyebrows but Alex did not have enough time to answer that question because immediately his intercom rang. "Hold that thought," he told Ivy and picked the telecom "Yes Nancy," he said"Sir, your meeting with Mr and Mrs. Stewart is in the next two minutes and they are waiting
For a moment, Alex believed that she would actually do the right thing and not choose money but he watched in anger and disgust as she sat back down quitely without so much as saying a word of protest. He could not say that he was totally shocked, after all he knew that girls like her were only after one thing and one thing alone, money. "Okay then, well I don't want to hear any more complaints from you on that subject. Now if you don't mind, tell me a bit about your company let me know what I am actually investing in." Alex did not need their breakdown. He already had all the information he needed to have about their company. He was thorough with his research but he still needed to allow them talk, he particularly wanted to see if they would actually lie about their company just to get him to be more interested and he was happy when Mr Stewart started talking. The man did not try to sugarcoat anything. Neither did the man try to lie. He told him the truth and nothing but the truth
"Please tell me that you are joking!" Ivy said as she rushed to the front. "No, we are not!" Brittany said arrogantly. "Look, this is none of your business but Alex and I have a connection and it's only fair that we end up in marriage so please stay out of this. We all know that you are nothing but a fling to him. Whereas, I am the real deal." "You know the only thing that is real about you is the foul mouth you have because it is so evident that everything from your head to your toe is fake, including that trash you just muttered." "How dare you?!" Brittany said angrily and was about launching towards Ivy when her mother held her back. "Alex please tell this bitch that you don't mean anything with you. Please tell her that you don't want anything to do with her and that she should really stop bothering you now.""I can't tell her something that isn't true, Brittany," Alex said "And if you are not careful with the way you talk to her, I will not hesitate to ask security to actuall
With curiosity, Alex picked up the phone and his initial action was to wait till the young man finally said something, but for some reasons, he just could not go through with doing that. "Dustin, good morning." He said still curious as to why the man would call him. "Alex, where are you?" His voice was shaking and that was when Alex could hear the commotion happening in the background. He heard screams of pain and anger. "I'm at work. What's going on in that school?" He questioned. "I am not in school. Well, we were on our way to school when... Will you fucking stop doing that? You are going to kill him!!!" He heard Dustin yelling and his blood froze. Who was being threatened? He was curious to know. "Dustin, talk to me. What happened?" "Well we were on our way to school when some boys ambushed us. It was me, Hayden and Trevor. We were studying together and just decided to go to class together." "Who ambushed you?!" Alex said, his fist folding. Some idiots had the audacity to
As soon as Alex stepped out of the car, he watched at they left Trevor and walked closer to him. He could tell that they were surprised to see him driving such a luxurious car and he could tell that none of them knew who he was. He was extremely happy with that .it would make it so much easier for him to actually ruin them since they did not know who he actually was. The man who stood by Trevor while his men beat him walked in front and Alex guessed he was their leader. He did not need anyone to tell him that. The man placed his hands in his pocket and walked closer to Alex. He was not as talk as Alex was but he had a lot of courage and he stood very close to Alex, and he showed no sign of fear even when some of his boys were trembling at the sight of the kind of luxurious car he grow and the tall muscular man standing next to him. "You know what people don't understand is that all you rich people were raised with a golden spoon in your mouth and so you guys have no balls to actual
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
