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
James excitedly got dressed, he was glad he took today as a day off."How can I work so much but still I'm not given what rightfully belongs to me," James thought. James briskly walked out of his room and down the stairs as he made his way out of the house. After entering his car, he drove straight to the address Mark and Andrea sent to himAfter driving for over forty minutes, James finally got to his destination. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed Mark's number"Hello," He said immediately. Mark answered the call"I'm outside..." James said and hung up. In not less than 1 minute, Mark walked outside a bar with Andrea trailing behind him, "Hey, you made it," Andrea said as he walked closer to James and hugged him tightly"Yeah, of course," He replied"I wouldn't want you guys to have all the fun" James added, which caused Mark to giggle"Come on, let's go in," Andrea said "Is this a party?" James inquired, he could hear loud music, cheering, and lots more"Yeah! It i
"Yes, Alex would forgive you, my dear, I know that he holds no grudge against you," Mr. Xavier said"I wronged him, big time," Abigail said, she didn't care If someone was inside the car with her or not"Just try apologizing and I believe that he will hear you out, since he likes you” Mr. Kim said"I'm also really sorry, I've been a pain in the ass to Alex and I hope that he would forgive me," James saidThe car was silent and no one said anything until they got to the mansion, Mr. Kim drove all of them to The king’s palace . Alex was already at home, he was in his room working on something importantHis eyes were fixed on his laptop when he heard a knock on his door"Come in," He said,"Young Master Alex, your grandfather is here to see you," Hannah said"Ok," Alex said as he suspended everything that he was doing and stood up to follow Hannah. As Alex climb down the stairs, he spotted two familiar faces, the faces of the people that distaste him and showed him nothing but hate"What
Alex paced in his room, he didn't like whenever the Darius family was mentioned anymore. To Alex, he felt like not everyone deserved love and the Darius family was one of them."You get what you give" Alex's mother would always say, the words of his mother were like guidelines to AlexHe tried to shift his thoughts away from them and focus on more important things. Alex picked up his phone and dialed Hailey's number"Hey," Hailey said as soon as she answered the call"Hello, can we meet," Alex said"Yeah, yeah, I want us to clear something up," Hailey said"Ok, I would also love to talk to you" Alex responded. "Ok, let's meet at the restaurant close to your street then" Hailey suggested "I'm close by because of the movie I'm acting so we just rounded up for today" Hailey added"Ok, that would be nice, I'd be there in 10 minutes," Alex said "Ok," Hailey said before she hung up the call. For the past few days, she has thought a lot about Alex, her life wasn't like a princess Barbie b
"I suspect that Mrs. Darius didn't keep to her part of the deal, maybe she tried to act smart and kill the man," Mr. Kim said"You are right" Alex agreed"But we can never be too sure" He added. They got to the airport early, but Lee was not there with them, he decided to go and visit his mother with the time he has has before something else takes his time. Mr. Kim and Alex got out of the car and waited patiently for Mr. Xavier. Alex couldn't wait to see him, they were all happy that he was finally coming homeMeanwhile, Mr. Xavier came out of the plane and used his eyes to scan around for his lovely grandson and Mr. Kim."Grandpa," Alex said as soon as he sighted Mr. Xavier, with a smile on his face he rushed to meet Mr. Xavier"How have you been, Grandpa," Alex asked"I've been great, what about you," Mr. Xavier asked"I'm fine Grandpa," Alex said"Welcome back home sir," Mr. Kim said"Thank you, Kim, I can see that you took good care of my boy," Mr. Xavier said and laughed"I'm no
James drove to the Xavier's estate straight, his car finally came to a stop in front of the Darius quarter in Mr. Xavier's estateHe came out of the car and briskly walked into the house where he saw Abigail crying on the floor.Abigail didn't know when James walked into the house, she was weeping as she didn't know what had happen to them after the news."What happened," James asked as soon as he got close to Abigail, Abigail raised her head and turned to face her brother"Mother was arrested because of the tanker accident, James," Abigail said"Since yesterday I noticed her off behavior, she acting weird and I don't know what happened" Abigail added"What do you mean by she has been acting weird," James asked"I heard her the other day when she said that she is doing all these for our future and she wouldn't let us find out about anything," Abigail said"What does she mean," James asked"I don't know and that's what I tried to find out when I was listening to what she saying the oth
"Ok" Sophie replied"Take good care of yourself" She added"Ok Mom, bye" Lee added before he hung up the call, he loved both his parents but not seeing them together was disheartening. Lee got to the company at exactly noon and he briskly walked into the building, he wanted to help Linda finish her work but of course, he couldn't do it alone so he needs a little helpAs he got to the seventh floor, he saw his father on Linda's desk"Hey Dad, what are you doing," Lee asked"I'm helping the girl sort things out," Mr. Kim said and a smile appeared on Lee's face, "Call me if you need any help," Lee said"I'm already done," Mr. Kim said"What?" Lee said"She finished all the difficult parts before leaving so the rest was just minor work," Mr. Kim said"Oh," Lee said, they both walked into Alex's office"It's almost time," Alex said immediately after he saw them"We will soon find out the truth," Lee said, and just then, Alex's phone began to ring, it was the same number that called him ye
"How then do I buy my clothes," Linda asked as she glared at Lisa, and Lee couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction"I'm sorry if I annoyed you" Lisa apologized"It's just that I haven't been to a mall as big as this" Linda said, Lee stared at her for a few seconds before looking away"These are the latest collection in the market," Lisa said as she brought out some pair of shoes, heels, and a lot more"Pick as much as you want," Lee said and Linda was puzzled, these were very expensive and three shoes could be her salary for a month"But they look very expensive," Linda said"Not as expensive as you are and Alex wants you to get the best it's a way of appreciating all that you did and how you supported him, you were a good secretary and staff," Lee said with a smile. Linda turned away from him and kept her eyes on the shoes, she picked a black heel, it was very expensive as she could see the prize tag so she decided to only pick that shoe, she had eyes for another red heel but she
“but the work will be much when I resume tomorrow" Linda said stating her worries"Don't worry about it, don't you know your boss, you will come back refreshed and start from that day" Lee said with a smile. "Ok" Linda hesitated a bit before agreeing"You wouldn't be able to decline anyway because it was an order," Lee said and Linda chuckled. Then followed him to the elevator, he could see that she was weak and her skin looked paleLee held her hand to support her so that she wouldn't fall. They got out of the elevator as soon as they got to the first floor, "oh my gosh" A staff said, when Lee entered the company, they opened their mouth in admiration and right now they saw him leave the hall holding hands with Linda"That Bitch, I don't expect less, who knows maybe she has an affair with Mr. Alexander just so she can get one of his rich friends," Another staff said"Stop being jealous, has she not been a supportive staff unlike us," Another staff said, she couldn't comprehend why t
Alex walked into the bathroom after undressing, he had a quick shower and got dressed in his nightwear. Alex fell on the bed and as soon as his body hit the soft bed he fell asleep.The next day, he woke up early and got ready for work quickly. To Alex, today is going to be very eventful, he was able to give the company back its good name and today he was going to find out who caused the tanker accident, his grandfather was also coming back today.He wore his wristwatch and hurried out of his room, he briskly walked to the sitting room where he saw Mr. Kim sitting on the chair"Good morning, young master Alex" Mr. Kim greeted"Good morning young master Alex" Hannah also greeted"Good morning," Alex said with a smile on his face"Let's go," Alex said to Mr. Kim said"Young Master, won't you eat first before you go," Hannah asked"You didn't eat dinner yesterday" Hannah added"No I'm fine" Alex replied"Young Master, please eat a little, you can't go to bed with an empty stomach and sti
Abigail watched her run up the stairs, she hasn't seen her mother like this before and it hurts her deeply to see her mother like that"What's wrong?" She thought as she stood up from her seat and trailed behind her mother. Abigail saw the news and she couldn't expect something like that to make her mother feel this way"Mom," she called as she ran upstairs, before she got there, Mrs. Darius has already locked the door so she couldn't open it"Can you please open the door?" She said as she hit her hand on the door, she continued banging it but there was no reply, no words, no sobs"What's wrong," Abigail said and she was about to hit the door again, the door flew open"What is the problem, sweetie," Mrs. Darius asked and forced a smile on her face, although Mrs. Darius used a face mask on her face so that Abigail wouldn't notice any swollen cheeks or red eyes but Abigail saw her eyes, it was swollen and red"You've been crying mom, what's wrong," Abigail asked"Nothing, just somethin
