On turning to her brother, she believes he understands her, and he wouldn't scold her like their mother so all anger was instantly calm"James..." tears stream down her eyes"Clean does crocodile tears of yours, you disappointed me, I expected more from you""James, you're being selfish, think about how I feel for once," She said"No... Abigail, you're the selfish one, you couldn't do a little thing for me" James said as he walked close to the bed and sat on it"I wonder what mum would do once she comes home and finds out about what you did today" "James... Please, I know you care so much about me" Abigail cried"Save that crap for someone else," James said as he stood up and headed for the door"Wait!" Abigail said "What can I do to make things right," Abigail asked as she cleaned the tears rolling down her cheeks. And just then, Mrs. Darius stormed into the room"Abigail! You brat" She said in a rage"Mother!" James called"Maria, told me how you tried to escape, I haven't been go
Mrs. Darius drove quickly to the hospital. Abigail was dragged into the car, she no longer had the time to dress up"We have to be fast, Abigail, you don't have all the time in the world!" Mrs. Darius said. And soon after they got to the hospital, the nurses and doctors already knew them, so they was no need for any discussion or questions, they went straight into their family doctor's office"Welcome, Mrs. Darius and you came with your beautiful daughter," The doctor said and immediately offered them a sit"Thank you!" Mrs. Darius said and cleared her throat"Doc. We're back and my daughter here is so sorry for her actions the last time you both met" She added and turned to face Abigail, she signaled her daughter to apologize to the doctor."Doc..... Em... I'm sorry" Abigail reluctantly said"Haha... Doc. You see, kids, she realized that she made a mistake and here she is, I know you have eyes for her, so she's here with you. Let me leave you two" Mrs. Darius said and was about to le
The car came to a stop in front of a big hospital, it was a one-hour drive from their family's hospital.On getting to the hospital, most of the staffs outside could recognize Mr. Xavier and his New hair, with Alex's smart look, it was hard to know that Alex had been suffering all his life, and now he is on a land full of milk and honey, he doesn't have to work hard and get his money."Grandpa!" Alex called"Yes, dear" Mr Xavier replied"Thank you so much for bringing me out of the life I was living, thank you for sending Mr. Kim to look for me," Alex said"I can't imagine where I would have been now. Maybe sweeping or cleaning one big industry because even with my result, it would have been very hard for me to find a job" Alex added and as the memory of his parents flashed in his mind, he quickly ignored it because he didn't want to remember all that they went through together"I'm equally happy that Mr. Kim could find you, and he brought you to me," Mr. Xavier said as they entered t
Lee has been meaning to tell him "You got the looks, the hair, the face, and talk of your eyes! James has none, and now it makes a lot of sense why he distastes you so much in college""Yeah, right" Alex agreed, remembering the moment James spat on his face and told him that without money, one is nothing, even with looks, if you're poor, your look becomes poor too"Hey, cheer up, James has nothing compared to what you have now," Lee said as they both walked into the acting sector of the industry"Welcome, Mr. Alexander" Alex was startled, he couldn't comprehend how this elderly woman knew him, the woman saw his bewildered expression and said"You've been on the news, young man. Ain't you Alexander, Xavier?""Yes, I am, nice to meet you," He said and brought out his hand for a shake. The woman smiled and said to him "I am honored that you are here today""So what brings you here, Mr. Alexander," She asked"Well... My friend and I here would love to tour and see the entertainment indus
Hailey was glad she got the role, as she stayed up all night preparing for this role, and now she finally got it, but she was tiredShe felt the eyes of Alex staring at her, after turning to the direction of the voice that called her.“Is he among the judges now, A frown appeared on her face, that she shifted her gaze from him"Hailey!" One of the directors called and Hailey walked to the director, and they began to discuss the role, she knew she nailed it, but somehow she knew from the very start that she would get the role. After talking about the role with the director for a while, she turned to leave the room when she heard someone call again.As Alex who thought she didn't hear the other time, decided to try his luck again"Hey" Hailey said forcing out a smile on turning to see that it was Alex, As she didn't want to appear proud.she raised an eyebrow and Alex understood what she meant"Em... You were great" Alex said as a compliment"I hear that all the time," Hailey said with
Inside an old room in the house, the paint on the wall was peeling, the wardrobe was broken, and they was nothing new in the bedroom"Is this where my son sleeps?" Mr. Xavier asked"Yes sir, Alex's room is the room opposite this room but since when his mother died and Mr. Peter felt sick, Alex has been sleeping here with his father before his father's demise" Mr. Kim explained. Mr. Xavier was quiet, feeling hurt that his own son, lived in such a place, that he couldn't find the right words to say so to him, keeping quiet, was the only option. He scolded himself inwardly, for not making sure he comes back to the house he wasn't only feeling sorry for his son, but also for those who had to live this life and those living the life presently. Innocent children who are brought into the world to experience something as ugly as this"Was this what poverty looks like?" Mr. Xavier thought. It is a really bad place to be in"I want to give my grandson the best life, he's going to enjoy ever
The car came to a halt in the King's palace garage, "The King's Palace" Alex thought, he's being addressed like a king, he lives in one of the richest buildings in rift valley so why can't he act like a king, it would be better for him if he starts acting the way he is addressed"Young Master, these cars, are your cars," Mr. Kim said with a straight face, it hurts him to behave like this towards Alex but there was no other way."Wait... You mean...." Alex said, he was so excited but he immediately masked the excited look on his face"I like them, was it my grandfather that picked them," He asked sounding more proper and Mr. Kim smiled inwardly, "this is the way for a person like Alex to behave," Mr. Kim thought"Yes, he did," Mr. Kim said and bowed his head"Bro..." Lee said, "you got a nice collection" Lee added. Alex smiled and turned to his new friend"Yeah, how can a guy like me not have a good collection," Alex said already sounding proud"Lee, it's time for you to go, Alex has w
Alex already knew what the result was, and he couldn't wait for it to be called, he was already anticipating how James would feel"The DNA test results say that Alex is related to Mr. Xavier," A man in his late thirties said, and to Alex's greatest surprise, James wasn't shocked, he sat still as he expected it"But still, how can someone just walk into your life Mr. Xavier and you call him your next heir," One of the men in the meeting said"No one in this room has the right to tell me what to do," Mr. Xavier said. Alex noticed that James's expression didn't change and Alex knew immediately that something was up"We should all let it be, my grandfather's health is more important than any position, I don't want anything to happen to him," James said. "James!" Alex screamed in his head, what is the bully planning? Alex turned to face Mr. Kim, and he got a reassuring smile from him. The meeting lasted for an hour before Mr. Xavier dismissed them. Mr. Darius, Mrs. Darius, and James sat
