Sometimes life can be so cruel to us, even when we find happiness, we become so scared that one day we will lose that happiness. And that was the situation Abigail was in not wanting to break down, she said"I'd love to get going now before it gets late," Hailey bit her lips, angry with herself for saying that. “I should have let it all be”Taking a deep breath, she said"Sure, let me walk with you to your car" both ladies made their way outside the mansion and straight to Abigail's car"See you some other time," Abigail said and Hailey pulled her in for a hug before letting her goShe seriously wanted their friendship to last forever, but she couldn't tell if all that had happened to her past friend would happen again, so enjoying it while it lasted, was the best thing she could think of."Bye""Bye," Abigail responded and drove off. Some people suffer from toxic relationships, friendships, or courtship. Abigail silently hoped that one day, just like it has always been for Hailey
“ERM... Sir I...” the head of treasury stammered While Alex's gaze remained on him, patiently waiting for him to respond to his question."Well," The man said, searching for excuses, he inwardly begged and prayed for someone to walk into the office and rescue him, but knowing such might not happen, he decided to come up with something to save his ass as soon as possible.The door flung open Making everyone turn to see who had interrupted them.“Oh...” the head of treasury held his chest, breathing a deep breath to calm his heart that was threatening to fall out on seeing who was standing at the door."Good morning Mrs. Darius" Alex greeted the woman while everyone else did the same.The head of Treasury was relieved, and he didn't know how he could thank her for being his lifesaver, but this wasn't going to stop Alex from discovering the truth. In truth, Alex was glad that Mrs. Darius was here because he was suspecting Mrs. Darius and her family, but he couldn't just say something b
“This old man here is the one that made the mistake,” she said, pointing at the head of treasury while Mr. Albert, the head of treasury, stood perplexed, his mouth wide open in shock.He didn't want to believe what Mrs. Darius was about to do.“Is she about putting the blame on me in order to go scot-free?” his mind wandered.Rose could see all the expressions on everyone's faces, including Alex who scoffed in disbelief Not minding all that, she continued “I told him to send money to the Darius account. It was less than 40 dollars," she exhaled sharply before continuing"I forgot to tell Grandpa about it. Besides, I have a right to this company as much as you do" Mrs. Darius defended, she quickly covered her mouth with her palm on realizing the words she had let out. She felt stupid at that moment, but since she had implicated herself, she decided to go with the flow.Besides trying to blame Albert, felt like she was afraid of Alex"Did Mrs. Darius ask you to send 40 million dollar
James walked down the hall and walked into his mother's office only to find her pacing"What's wrong Mom" he asked"That brat, that good-for-nothing boy, found out that we have been embezzling the company's money, and now he is threatening me," Mrs. Darius said and bit her lips in anger."What? How did he find out about it" James asked in a state of shock, he couldn't believe that he had just passed the same Alex and Alex behaved as if everything was fine"So pathetic, that scum thinks he has authority," he fumed in anger, he was feeling as frustrated and angry as his mother"You can not believe what he told me," Mrs. Darius shook her head.She thought it was the most painful and humiliating part of it"Alex told me that we don't have equal rights in this company and that he is the heir" Mrs. Darius said as she paused to see James's expression"Mom, are you for real," James asked and Mrs. Darius just laughed, her laughter was full of bitterness and James knew that whenever his mother
After the meeting with Hailey, he drove straight to the office, he was smiling all through his way to the office.Alex's car came to a halt in front of the company, and he hurried out of it before he would be late for an important meeting"Mr. Alexander, you have a meeting in two minutes," Mr. Kim said"Ok," Alex said***James and Mrs. Darius smiled at the thought of their plan, although they haven't done anything yet, but the thought made them grin "I love the sound of it," James said"Same, I can't wait to see the look on his face and more importantly, I can't wait to see him crawl and beg," Mrs. Darius said and after some time, James left the office with a satisfactory smile on his faceDuring the meeting, James used the opportunity to discuss with some staff members, and it turns out that a lot of them didn't like Alex, and it was to James and Mrs. Darius's advantage"He is a scum, and I'm tired of putting up with him" James and the staff agreed, it was a good opportunity to bri
"Let's go," Mrs. Darius said as she got a grip of herself, she was embarrassed but still she couldn't stop regretting every moment of that day. If she hadn't messed things up, then her life wouldn't have been like this, she wouldn't have to struggle this much for wealth, fame, and power just to keep her marriage."So pathetic" Mrs. Darius thought as she entered into the car, James was the one driving, Mrs. Darius picked up her phone from her purse, her heart was still beating and as they drove out of the company's premises, she saw Mr. Munsch enter into his car and for the moment she felt lost again as she tried hard to fight it from being noticed but fortunately her body gave in that until Mr munch car was out of sight, she was staring at it.She dialed Abigail's number,"Hello," Abigail said immediately after she answered the call"Pack your bags, we are moving to Xavier's mansion today, I'm almost home and when I get there we are leaving," Mrs. Darius said and ended the call before
After Alex was done with everything in the office, he left the office premises and drove home with Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim let him drive so that he would get better at driving"I had a long day today," Alex said "I can't wait to get home and freshen up" He addedMr. Kim was busy with some documents that were sent to him on his phone. It seems like the Darius still has power over some things in the house and company because James was made the subordinate. But Alex had the highest right over everything Alex got to the house, and he saw The Darius family standing outside his mansion."Hi..." Alex said immediately as he got out of the car"You think that you can do anything and go free, if you misbehave I'll make sure that you sleep in the cell this night," Mrs. Darius said and she meant it. She was going to make Abigail go to the police station and complain that she has been assaulted if Alex didn't comply"Mrs. Darius, this isn't how things are done, you can't come..." "Hey, Mr. Kim, this
“Hannah, come in” he finally found his voice"Young Master Abigail is here to see you," Hannah said as soon as she opened the door. Alex was surprised, he didn't expect anyone from the Darius house to come visit him. He shut his laptop, got out of bed, then start walking out of the room while Hannah trailed behind.He went straight to the sitting room"Hey," he said as soon as he saw Abigail"Hey," Abigail responded.Her heart beating at a quick pace that she regretted coming in the first place.“This is going to be harder than I imagined” she inhaled and exhaled."Em, I heard what happened today at the office," she said as she decided to start a conversation"And..." Alex said, he didn't bother to ask her what she heard"That's so not you," Abigail looked away"And why do you think that you know me," Alex scoffed, sitting opposite her, his gaze drilling holes into her Abigail stole a glance when she didn't know what to reply, neither was he saying anything.She sure didn't know wha
