Elena knew she had no choice but to do as Vivienne demanded, she stood in front of the room, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. She had called a family meeting, and they were all waiting for her, including Vivienne, who was watching her with an icy gaze."What my precious daughter, you called for a family meeting, hope there is nothing seriously wrong". Elena's heart raced as she opened the door and began to speak."Nothing wrong," she started, her voice trembling. "I've been thinking a lot about my role as CEO, and I've come to realize that I don't want to do it anymore."Mr. Augustus looked at her with concern. "What's that, daughter? You're giving up the company? Why?, How?, Is there any one threatening you?, In just a few months in the company you have elevated it, and the profit has skyrocketed, why!".Elena took another deep breath before continuing. "Yesh, Grandfather, it's not that. It's just... being CEO is not my passion, I want to do something else".The room fell si
Alexander and Olivia sat in the car, the silence between them thick and heavy. Alexander was the one driving and he didn't have the idea of where he was going.Olivia tried to break the silence, but Alexander wasn't having it."Alexander… I am," Olivia said, her voice soft and sultry."Shut up, Olivia," Alexander growled, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Just shut up."Olivia pouted, her lips curling into a sulk.The silence continued, the only sound the hum of the engine and the rush of the wind outside. Alexander's mind raced with thoughts of Elena and the hurt he had caused her. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her, and he knew he had to make things right.But for now, he just drove, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his heart heavy with regret.Olivia then stopped in the middle of the road."Please, get out", his voice was silent but stern."I am sorry..", she said."Just get out", he roared at him.Olivia then quietly opened the car and left. ALEXANDER was frustrated and
Alexander read what was written in the book, and couldn't help but frown. So, this must be the book his father was killed for. The book consisted of many high-profile people and politicians in a secret group, planning a coup on the present president and selling the country off. The only name he recognized was Mr. Harrington. He was still scanning the pages when his phone rang. It was Elena."Hello, Elena," he answered."Hello… Alexander… I am sorry, I… misunderstood you, I should have listened to you and trusted you", she apologized.Alexander was confused at first then realized that Olivia had gone to clear the confusion."Elena, I will never cheat on you, yeah… I shouldn't have been in that position but I didn't cheat on you", Alexander said."Okay, let's meet at Charles' school"."Okay, I'm on my way," he replied, and Elena immediately hung up.Alexander took the book with him and headed to meet Elena. When he arrived, Elena was already there with Charles. Charles rushed towards Al
Max denied vehemently if being bullied and the principal dismissed the case. And warned Alexander and Elena that doing this could make them sued.They walked out of the office while the principal made Max stay in the office with her."Well, we did our best", Elena stated. And Alexander nodded.Charles was very angry as he swiftly turned to them, "I told you not to make a big deal out of it, I told you to stay out of this, now you will make Max unfriend me, he is the only friend I ever had", he cried.Elena soothed him, "you see that we tried our best, but max deny it""Then what?, What next, he will just unfriend me, and nothing more, I caused this, I shouldn't have told you", he said and walked in fast paced waiting for them beside the car.Elena nodded, "my sweet son finally has to make friends and we messed it up!""He is not worthy to he his friend, he shouldn't deny an assault when we are trying to help", Alexander said."You shouldn't say that, no joke wants to become a coward
"There is nothing you can do, Ed have to endure this painful life, he has to endure it", the man lamented.Alexander Stern at him,"you don't have to let your child suffer this, you don't have to let him suffer for your failure, being poor doesn't justify your actions, put that at your mind".The man sniffled as he nodded, "I know…I know, I just have no choice", he started crying."Okay, I will give you $50 million dollars to start your life", he simply said.The man and his son raised up Thier heads at him and the man suddenly burst into my cries, "You don't have to joke in us, this isn't funny… please"."I am not joking, I will give you $50 million dollars.. in fact, let me make it $100 million dollars, just so you can start your life", he said, dipping his hand in his pocket.The man stopped crying and gazed up at him, "You mean, you will give us $100 million dollars!"."Yea"."That's alot, how… how…", the man stammered not knowing what to say."Chill, my account balance can't even
Alexander returned home, and Elena had already cooked for him. he wanted and inhaled the delicious food."Nice scent", he said, then he struck to him that Elena was presently the CEO of the company, and she had been at home all this while."Elena, why are you not in the company", he said.Elena shrugged it off and pretended like she didn't hear, but Alexander asked again, "Elena, why are you not in the company? You're the CEO, shouldn't you be there?"Elena sighed and put down the dish she was holding, "Alexander, I have stopped being the CEO"Alexander raised an eyebrow, "why".Elena hesitated, then finally spoke up, "nothing, I just wish to resign, I don't want to be Disturbed".Alexander's expression turned serious, and walked slowly towards her, then held her shoulder gently, "Elena, I can tell something is wrong, you can tell me"Elena shook her head, she found it embarrassing to tell Alexander about what really happened. She was literally naked with the man.Alexander's eyes nar

He didn't want to let them know netire, but now it was becoming obvious. There was no My child presently that deserves to end the company, Vivienne Has the spirit and the experience, but she was too short tempered and might cause a lot of damage to the company, and it's very obvious she was also the one controlling his husband. She was the only option.He called for the meeting to appoint another CEO, everyone knew it would be Vivienne.They were all in the room as Mr. Augustus started."Children and grandchildren ," Mr. Augustus began, his voice weak but determined. "I'm sure you've all noticed my health hasn't been well lately.

Desmond waited impatiently in the cafe for his sister. He was so anxious because the mission they were on, his sister suddenly stopped responding. All he needed was just a password and they were free to go, and get the money, but Tracy had been acting strange, now she wanted to meet with him.Just then, Tracy entered, dressed in a black sweater and long socks, she sat in front of her brother."Hey… what the hell are you doing, why do you just suddenly stopped texting me, we are almost there!, Or have you get caught!", Desmond rushed out his words.Tracy sighed, her eyes avoiding her brother's gaze. "Desmond, I know you're upset, but I had to stop. I couldn't keep going on with this mission."Desmond's face turned red with anger. "What are you talking about? We're so close to getting the password and the money! You can't just quit now! You started this why just quit"Tracy shook her head, her voice firm. "I'm not quitting, Desmond. I'm stopping. There's a difference."Desmond's eyes na
Elena was shocked as she saw Mandera with a swollen stomach. She uttered, “Mandera…”Mandera forced a smile. “Elena,” she murmured. At that moment, Elena opened the door wide for her.Mandera stepped inside, and Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. “Hey, Mandera. Long time. What are you doing here?”Mandera gently rubbed her stomach. “I’m here because of this. I’m going to have a baby… your baby,” she said simply.Alexander froze, processing her words. He glanced at Elena, who stood still for a moment, her expression unreadable. Then, she scoffed. “Wow… really?”Natalie, standing nearby, chimed in with raised eyebrows, “You’re pregnant with his baby?”Mandera gulped, her eyes darting nervously between them. “I know… I know you didn’t expect this. It was a mistake. I just wanted to let you know. I can... abort it if that’s what you want.”Elena’s eyes darkened, her jaw clenched. “You dare not! You are not aborting *our* baby.”Mandera and Alexander were taken aback, exchanging confuse
Alexander was about to kiss Elena in the office when the door suddenly opened, and Olivia walked in.They both froze, eyes wide, as Olivia smirked, a baby cradled in her arms. “Wow, did I spoil the fun? Well, here I am!”Alexander’s expression darkened, his brows furrowing. “What are you doing here?”Olivia raised an eyebrow, her lips curling slightly. “What do you think? I'm here for our baby. You didn’t even show up when I was suffering through pregnancy sickness. But guess what? I survived. I’m here, and so is your child.”Alexander scoffed, narrowing his eyes. “Olivia, what are you playing at this time? I know that’s not my child. I’m not responsible for the pregnancy, and now you show up, out of nowhere, claiming the kid is mine?”Her smile faltered for a moment before she composed herself. “Yes, he *is* yours. I left back then because I was embarrassed, not because he isn’t your child. Here’s the DNA test,” she said, pulling a document from her bag and extending it toward him.A
Elena walked out of the room when convoys of cars packed in front of her, she was startled and surprised as she stepped back, she wondered what they were here for, her son Charles was beside her, she held him closer. The cars stopped, and a group of tall, imposing men in black suits stepped out, forming a semi-circle around her. Elena's grip on Charles tightened as she wondered what was happening.One of the men, seemingly the leader, bowed his head in front of her. "Mrs. Elena, please come with us," he said in a deep, commanding voice.Elena frowned, "what!, What's happening, why, who are you people?"."Sorry for the sudden appearance, we are from the swiss empire, your husband's company, your presence is needed in the company"."Why, and… where is Alexander, why is my presence needed", she simultaneously asked."Ma'am, boss…. Was involved in an accident two weeks ago, his car rolled inside the river and since then, he hasn't been seen".Elena's eyes widened in horror as she process
"Why are you so shocked, are you not the wine in the video?, I don't know you are this horrible, how could you kill someone, uh!", Tracy sneered at him.Alexander couldn't help but laugh, he was just helping mike that day. "Look, you are even laughing, I know you are just a mere animal, you deserve to root in jail", she said.Alexander faced her and scoffed, "You are the one that caused all this, you and your stupid boyfriend lied on me! And sent me to prison, stop pretending like you are a saint!", He then turned to mr. Harington, "I am still coming to get the answers!, You animals!", He sneered and dashed out. Tracy folded her hand and scoffed, then that time her phone rang.It was from Micheal, "What could that fool be calling for", she said and picked it up "Let's meet", Michael told her.*****Alexander stormed at Mr. Alfred house, the video has been already circulating and Mr. Alfred has called for the meeting, as he entered Vivienne scoffed, "The murder Is here".ALEXANDER ig
As the doctor handed Elena the envelope containing the DNA test results, Elena’s hands trembled as she accepted the envelope. She had been dreading this moment for weeks, afraid of what the results might reveal. Her heart raced as she hesitated, unsure if she wanted to know the truth. It should be Alexander, no one else.She walked out of the office then stopped halfway.With a deep breath, Kate slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the results. Her eyes scanned the page, her heart sinking with each passing moment. Tears welled up as she saw the words. Charles was 0.009 percent Alexander's child. “How… how could that be possible”, she mumbled, she was lost because she had never in her life sex with anyone except Alexander. Elena's eyes blurred as she stumbled out of the hospital, the results clutched in her hand. The bright sunlight seemed to mock her, and the bustling streets felt like a cruel joke. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think. The numbers on the page haunted her: 0.
After a peaceful two weeks, while ldyia was recovering from the injury of the incident, she didn't ehar at all from Alexander.

The leader’s cruel smile widened as he turned to his soldiers. “Get ready to show them what real pain feels like,” he commanded. The soldiers, eager to follow orders, advanced toward Alexander, Elena, Stiles, and Tracy, their faces masked with grim determination.Just as they were about to inflict their brutality, the leader’s phone rang. Annoyed, he answered the call with a snarl. After a few terse exchanges, his expression shifted to one of shock and then nervousness.“Sir,” one of his subordinates said from the other end, “our highest leader from Italy has just arrived.”The leader’s face went pale. “What? I didn’t get any notice that he was coming.”The subordinate’s voice was urgent. “He’s here, and he’s asking for you immediately outside”The leader’s gaze flicked nervously to the captives. He took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. “Fine,” he snapped. “You lot are lucky. This isn’t over, not by a long shot.” He stormed out of the basement, leaving the soldiers behi
The fight broke out in an instant. Despite being outnumbered, Alexander, Elena, Stiles, and Tracy fought fiercely. Alexander landed quick, powerful punches, while Elena moved with precision, taking down anyone who got close. Stiles held his own, fending off multiple attackers.Tracy, dodging blows with exaggerated movements, ducked under a swing and kicked a thug in the knee. "Dance off, anyone?" she quipped, twirling dramatically, making even Stiles groan mid-fight. Despite the odds, the four quickly gained the upper hand. The gang members fell one by one, and the leader, frustrated, spat, “This isn’t over,” before retreating with his remaining men.Breathing hard but victorious, Tracy threw up her arms. "Told you I could fight... with style!”.Just as Tracy finished her triumphant declaration, the ground began to tremble. A loud rumble filled the air, and the four turned to see a tank rolling into view, its machine gun swiveling toward them. Alexander clenched his fists, scanning
Elena and Alexander were in the room with Kate and Stiles. Each of them was filled with happiness; they had finally completed their mission and left behind everything that had been holding them back. The air was light, and laughter echoed as they shared the relief of their success.In two weeks, Charles would finish elementary school, marking the beginning of a new chapter. With that milestone, Alexander and Elena had already planned their next step: travelling and beginning a new life together, free from the past. They could almost taste the adventure and fresh start that awaited them beyond the horizon.They surrounded themselves with drinks, relaxing comfortably in the cosy room. The warm glow of the setting sun filtered through the windows, casting soft light on their faces as they sipped from their glasses, the weight of their recent journey finally lifting.Laughter bubbled up between them, the tension of the past weeks melting away.
