"You can't tell me not to go inside that office," James told Linda and rushed to open the door"But sir," Linda said, trying to stop him, but James refused to listen. He pushed the door only to see Alex inside the office with Mr. Kim"Welcome brother!" Alex said with a crooked smile. He made James walk to his office."You brat..." James said, ignoring Mr. Kim's presence in the room. He was furious"Do you think you can come into my life and ruin it, you think you can take what rightfully belongs to me?" He said"What makes you think I took what rightfully belongs to you, is Xavier's business and wealth rightfully yours?" Alex asked calmly, he wanted to piss James off so bad"Yes!" James said"Then why did grandpa make me his heir, are you trying to say that grandpa doesn't know what he's doing," Alex said. He would have gone to the sixth floor and put James in his place if he tried to humiliate him, but he didn't want James to lose rights to Xavier's business and also lose his respect
After crying for hours, she was devastated. She didn't want to go back to that house where she can't breathe well, the air there suffocates her, and now she's going back to that house where her opinions don't matter at all because she doesn't have anywhere else to go.The day she dreads the most is the day her mother will wake up one morning and decide to marry her out"I hope for that day not to come," She thought as she wiped the tears away from her eyes and drove home Mrs. Darius was having a good time at her friend's place, she was feeling a lot better, but the thought of Alex suddenly came back"Mabel, that boy troubles me and I want to take him out of the picture, I want him to meet his demise" Mrs. Darius said full of determination"I agree, if he stresses you this much then he has to go," Mabel said"How about you offer him a lot of money to run away, to leave your family's life," Mabel asked"Do you think that he's a fool, he's smart, and he's also a graduate, he wouldn't
None of those plans worked, all their plans went down the sewer."Mom, what are you talking about, what new plan" James inquired"I want to kidnap Alex" Mrs. Darius whispered"What?" James said surprised"I want to end his life since he is this stubborn," Mrs. Darius said. Although James felt uneasy with the idea, he later agreed after remembering how Alex behaved today"Okay, but how can we do that without getting caught, I hate to admit this, but Alex is the heir and Mr. Xavier wouldn't let anything happen to him," James said"He's the temporary heir, my son, you're the true heir," Mrs. Darius said "James, I want us to act nice, Abigail doesn't know about this and I don't want her to know. Your sister doesn't know what life looks like, she thinks that it's just like a bed of roses. I made her live a life full of milk and honey, and I have no intention of taking it away from her. I want to keep it that way" Mrs. Darius said"I know, Mother, I know that you are doing all these things
Mr. Kim wasn't pleased with her presence, he could already sense trouble."Alex” Mrs. Darius said immediately she spotted Alex coming down from his car"How are you dear child" Mrs. Darius inquired. Mr. Kim could sense that something was wrong."Is she drunk?" He thought. Alex was too surprised to speak"Alex, we started on the wrong foot, you came into our life for good, but I didn't realize that," Mrs. Darius said"I hope you can forgive me and my family for what we did, for the hated we showed you" Mrs. Darius begged"Ma'am, I hold no grudge against you, I want good for all of us," Alex said, he was glad that Mrs. Darius had seen her wrong, but he wasn't fully convinced that she was sincere. He could sense the insincerity in her tongue, but he ignored it."Oh, Alex, I feel so bad, and I regret all that I've done to you. You have such a kind heart" Mrs. Darius said and smirked inwardly"This boy is such a fool, he is easily deceived," She thought"Mrs. Darius, we are a family, and w
The door was swang open by one of the maid.They entered the house only to see the whole of Darius's family. Earlier today after Mrs. Darius invited Alex and Mr. Kim. She came home to meet her husband waiting for her in the sitting room after hearing from the maids that she asked them to cook different food for dinner. "Welcome darling!" She said immediately she spotted him"You don't look happy, did they accept the business proposal," Mrs. Darius asked"Yes, they did," Mr. Darius said"That's goodnews, but why do you look angry?" Mrs. Darius inquired"Abigail told me that you're inviting Alex over for dinner, what's your motive," Mr. Darius asked"Darling please come let's go upstairs so that you can freshen up," She said, but Mr. Darius refused, he demanded an answer before anything"Darling, if you want to kill your enemy, you can't succeed in killing them while you guys are still enemies but when you are friends," Mrs. Darius said, looking around to make sure no one hears but he
Giggles and voices could be heard from the dining table, the Xavier family and the Darius family were having a good time. Mrs. Darius and her family played their role and it was so convincing that Mr. Kim somehow felt at ease"This is exactly the way Mrs. Darius and her family behave to Grandpa before Alex came into the picture," He thought. Logically, they all have to come together as one family because of their status but Daruis family wouldn't accept the fact that Alex is the heir to all of Mr. Xavier's wealth"Look at us!" Mrs. Darius added with a wide smile on her face"We look so happy as a family" Mr. Darius added. Abigail was the only person in the Darius family that didn't know about their evil plot. Abigail countlessly turned to peep Alex and Alex did the same. Abigail was falling for Alex's charm but Alex didn't feel the same way for her, he was trying to figure out whether she was feeling better or not"How are you feeling, Abigail” Alex asked anticipating a positive reply
Abigail thought about it, she liked it as her mother came to seat with her in her room. At least they could have a mother-and-daughter conversation that they haven't had for a long time but for some reason, Abigail didn't feel fine with the idea of telling her mom how she truly feels about Alex."Since you're feeling reluctant in telling me anything personal then I would gently find my way to my room," Mrs. Darius said as she stood up"Good night sweetie” She added and she closed the door"Good night Mom" Abigail wasn't sure if her mother heard her response but it didn't matter. She fell flat on the bed, she was more tired so immediately her body hit the soft bed she fell asleepIn Mr. Xavier's mansion, he is found on the couch with Mr. Kim. After Mr. Kim dropped Alex at the King's palace he hurried down to Mr. Xavier's mansion"Kim, sit over here!" Mr. Xavier commanded"What do you think about Mrs. Darius' action," Mr. Xavier asked"Well... Sir, she looks desperate and convincing" M
Alex was trying very hard to take his mind off the matter, he didn't want to think about his parents too much, and he couldn't help but ask himself"I'm I ready to live this kind of lifestyle? To adapt to this crazy lifestyle where some people are considered better than others all because of their wealth and riches"I can make a difference, I'm confronting Grandpa today," He thought and with that, he felt at peace. Throughout the drive to the company there was total silence in the car, Alex took it as a good opportunity to think about some of the things bothering himThe car finally came to a halt in the parking lot in front of the company. Alex immediately came down carrying a few files, he didn't know if it was odd or not, but it didn't matter. "Good morning sir" The staff greeted, they kept their eyes on him "Good morning" Alex responded and used the elevator to get to the Seventh floor. "Good morning sir" Linda greeted"Good morning Linda" Alex replied as he walked into his off
