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
Mrs. Darius knocked on Abigail's door, it was time for breakfast, and she decided to call her daughter herself instead of sending a maid"Sweetheart," Mrs. Darius said"Yes Mom, hold on please" Abigail responded. Abigail reluctantly stood up from her bed and went to unlock her room door"Good morning ma" Abigail greeted"Good morning, sunshine, how was your night?" Mrs. Darius inquired"It was fine, thank you, Mom" Abigail responded"Come on, breakfast is ready, quickly have your bath and come downstairs for breakfast," Mrs. Darius said and walked downstairs to join her husband at the dining table"Good morning sweetheart" Mr. Darius greeted his wife"Good morning darling" She replied with a warm smile as she made her way to the dining table and sat down on the chair"Have you told Abigail and James that we would be going back to our mansion tomorrow?" Mr. Darius inquired"What!" Alex said"Good morning dear," Mrs. Darius said as she turned her head to face James who was already ready
Hours passed, and it was finally time for the last meeting, Alex was tired of seeing his grandfather in every meeting they attended, he avoided him every single minute"Finally!" Alex exhaled sharply after the last minute was over. He was on his way to his office when he bumped into Andre and Mark, they came to see their friend, James"Well, well... isn't this the common church rat?”Mark said in a whisper, he didn't let Alex hear him because ever since the day Mr. Kim almost dealt with them, they have been afraid of him. No one wanted to get on his bad side"I think he heard you," Andrea said as he noticed that Alex was staring at them. They all noticed that the company has been unusually boring because no one wanted to tell Alex how they truly felt about him, this wasn't what they expected, they wanted more fun"James" They chorused immediately as they entered James's office"What's up guys," James said"We're good bro," Andrea said "I'm not good Andrea," Mark said, correcting him"
This was a hard time for Abigail, one of the worst moments of her life"This is the worst moment of my life," She said as she wiped her tears away, she tried hard to wipe away her makeup because she was already ready to visit anywhere, as long as it was not the house. She rode her car to Cassie's place"Hey girl, why didn't you inform me that you were coming," Cassie asked"Well, I wanted to surprise you and does it matter," Abigail asked as she faked a smile"No baby, I have to go to work now, I'm acting in a movie," Cassie said"If you had come any minute late, you wouldn't have met me in the house" Cassie added"Oh, I see can I come with you," Abigail said"Yes, you can, you can just hang around somewhere" Cassie responded as she picked up her phone and placed it into her back pocket"Let's go," She said, and they both entered Cassie's car, and she drove straight to the place, which was a high school. They were acting an old movie, the setting was on a school ground"What's your ro
