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
Abigail didn't need a prophet to tell her that Hailey didn't have friends. But why? Abigail thought. "Hey, let's do some shopping and after that, you can come to my house for some tea if you don't mind," Hailey said, she wanted to build a meaningful bond between them"That would be cool" Abigail responded with excitement, she was glad, and she wanted that same thing, she wanted a friend who sees her as a friend and not because of her status as the heiress of the famous Darius family"Great then," Hailey said and smiled warmly at her"Would you be free tomorrow?" Abigail inquired"Em…" Hailey said as she brought out her phone to check her schedule"From 2:30 tomorrow, I'd be free," Hailey said"You know, work and stuff" She added"Okay, can I meet you up at your place cause I'm not too sure if the tea party would be possible," Abigail said, she wanted to hang out more with Hailey, so she wouldn't mind canceling today's tea partyAfter 3 hours of shopping and talking, Hailey paid for w
Lee drove into the compound, so he decided he talk to his dad on the phone, he had successfully convinced Alex, and he was sure that he can convince his dad too."I sent you a message, and you haven't responded yet" Lee complained, he sent his dad a text message about his idea of taking Alex out for a small outing"No son, I've been really busy" Mr. Kim replied"Where are you dad, I'm outside Alex's mansion," Lee said as he scanned the area in search of the car his dad usually drives"I'm heading towards Alex's mansion now, just wait for me there," Mr. Kim said as he hung up the phone and drove straight to Alex's mansion. The estate was a bit complicated, it had lots of beautiful gardens and an outsider would think that it was a small town or sort because the compound was very big, awesome, and beautiful. As Mr. Kim drove closer to Alex's mansion, he spotted his son leaning on a black Bugatti"Hey," Lee said as he saw his father"What is it that you want to tell me," Mr. Kim asked, he
