"Alex! What the hell do you think you are doing?" Dustin said and walked up to him. "Don't you remember that this same boy insulted us in front of all these people and he called you a theif!" He said angrily. "Yeah, and the same man is on his knees begging right now. He is even crying. Look, I understand that what he did was silly but come on now, everyone makes mistakes." "Okay, his is worst than a silly mistake. You can't forgive him for this." "Well, I chose to forgive him. Listen, I don't know what you are thinking but I understand this young man. I have been in a situation like this before and I can tell you for a fact that it is really crippling to be in such a situation. I understand that what he did was actually very stupid and all but I think he has learnt his lesson and he deserves a second chance and I am ready to give that to him, so yes. I won't be firing him." "But Alex!" Hayden was about to speak when Alex raised his hand and shut him up."My decision is final." He
"Brittany!" Dustin said, surprised to see her there. "what are you doing here?" He asked. "Well, if you must know, I am here to meet my husband." "Your what?!" Hayden excalimed"Oh, he didn't tell you the goodnews?" She said, briming from ear to eyes. "well, allow me to do the honours then. He is probably just shy. You know how boys can be. The truth is that Alex and I are actually engaged. You see he agreed to do a business deal with my parents and part of the deal states that I am to be his lovely wife." She said Immediately, Alex bursted out in laughter. "Is that what you are telling yourself to be able to sleep at night?" He said and turned to look a her in humour. "For goodness sake, please don't lie to yourself like that because it will do you no good at all. Listen to me, you don't have to do all these okay. Just tell people the truth and do not try to make a good out of a bad situation." Alex ignored her pleading eyes and still stood by his words. He did not understand how
"Well Alex, if I was you, I would be scared!" Hayden said as he looked at Brittany walk away. "I know right. You guys also felt the coldness of her last statement, right? I'm not running mad here am I?" "But of course you are not. Look, that girl is broken. She is in pains and you know how cruel a woman can be when she is in pains.""Yes, I know. That is what is making me so scared in the first place. I really don't know what to do about all of this but I can assure you that this was not how I saw this going." Alex confirmed. "You guys should calm down really." Dustin added. "okay, so what if she is broken? She made a huge mistake by assuming that Alex was something he was not to her and Alex made it perfectly clear that he is not her man. She is just being dramatic for nothing." He emphasized as he took a sip of his water. "And what if she later comes to him and what's to hurt him?" Trevor asked"Are you kidding me right now? Alex here is a CEO of a multimillion dollar company. D
"Wow, so Natalie is your sister?" Hayden asked after having taken in everything he said. Most of the things he told her were things that she would not be able to get from the news or the several magazines that recently started writing about him"She is my step sister, yes. I am yet to meet her mother. The woman is currently out of town but immediately she gets back in, we are to meet and sort out any issues she may have with me or my grandfather." Alex answered."But your grandfather is ghetto though. Killing a man because he wanted his wife. I would never imagine it." Dustin said "I would. After all, and I don't wish for this to upset you but most men are actually like that you know. They do not really have sympathy for the common man like that." Hayden said. "Well I'm a bit insulted by that. Look, my grandpa did what he did because he thought he had no other choice. He was stuck between a hard place and he figured that actually doing this would get him what he wanted." "It so sad

"Followed?!" Dustin asked and turned his head to see the black car that was driving at speed to keep up with them. "What are we going to do now?" He asked. "Well for starters, you will have to calm down. My security team is already on it and I can promise you, they are good at what they do." He assured him as he kept his eyes on the road and kept driving. "They seem to be gaining on us," Trevor said and Alex noticed that he was looking at the back seat from the rear view mirror. "Okay, first of all, no one should look back again. I get that the car is tinted and everything but in situations like this, the one thing you do not want to do is let this people know that you are actually on to them. So just keep behaving like everything is okay because they get into action." Alex advised them as he felt the car get heated up.He knew his friends were scared. After all, they haven't been in such a position before but he has been in such a position and he understood more than anyone else
"Well, we don't have to tell you that. When we get to where we were to take you to, you will know the person behind this. Now move!" The man with the deep voice, whom Alex considered to be their leader finally spoke out and the rest agreed. Alex did not agrue with them. He simply walk away looking at his car to ensure that his friends are still safe inside while hoping that they won't come out and try to make themselves hero in a situation that would only break them.When they got to the car, Alex got lifted and tossed into the back of the car and they paid no attention to weather he was hurt or not. "This is total madness!" Dustin said as he sat still and watched as his friend being tossed around. "Well, he said we should not get involved and I think it's for the best." Hayden said "Yeah, but he is our friend you know. We can't just leave him like that." "Look, I really don't think we should get involved." Trevor said. "If those people start driving, I am definitely going to dr
"Alex!" Andres rushed to Alex's side immediately the men were reprimanded.he quickly losed the rope from his hands and removed the duct tape in one swipe to prevent it from hurting him for too long. "Are you okay sir?" He asked him as he watched Alex rub his hands, trying to get rid of the feel of rope on them."Well, I would say that I am but that would be me lying." Alex admitted"Well, you are fine now sir. You don't have to worry about that." Andres tried to make matters better. "Oh that is not even what I am worried about. Look, we still don't know who sent these people and we can't relent till we actually find that it out. Now come on, we need to find these people."Alex said and began walking. "Officer," he called out as he saw the officers loading the men into their back seat. He went directly to the one who was holding the guy that appeared to be the boss before. If anyone had any information that would be of great help, then it would be him. "Mr. Albert, I believe you are
