Alex felt guilty and now that Mr. Xavier was calling, he immediately felt worse But after the second ring, he decided to take the call."Hello, Grandpa," Alex said immediately after he answered the call"Hello, Alex," Mr. Xavier said in a weak voice "Grandpa, how is your health," Alex asked"I'm fine, thank you" Mr. Xavier replied, Alex kept mute, his heart was racing "I just saw the news, Alex, and I'm, I don't know. How did it happen?" Mr. Xavier said, he was confused and this wasn't a very big loss but a lot of people died and that was a big deal"I don't know Grandpa, I slept in the police cell last night," Alex said and Mr. Xavier was surprised"What!" "Mrs. Darius locked me in the cell," Alex said. He wasn't trying to gain sympathy but he smelt something fishy so he decided to not cover up for anyone because if Mrs. Darius was in his shoes, she would have ruined his name and dragged him publicly.Alex wasn't afraid of her but he hoped that he wouldn't face her once he gets t
"We kissed," Alex said bluntly,"What" Lee exclaimed, he turned in his father's direction"Your dad saw us," Alex said and Mr. Kim was stunned. "Wow, a lot must have happened last night," Lee said"Nothing happened, she came for peace but she ended up confessing that she likes me and I like her too," Alex said then exhaled sharply"So you guys kissed," Lee said raising an eyebrow"I decided to see her off as a gentleman but as soon as we stepped outside, I saw her mom standing there with the police," Alex said"Sounds like a setup to me," Lee said"Same and I smelt it immediately I saw Abigail in the king's palace sitting room," Mr. Kim said"Whatever it is, I don't care but I feel disappointed," Alex said"Don't be, that's how women can be and what you need to do now is to find a way to make things better" Mr. Kim said"I agree," Lee said"And we will all help you with that, just tell us what you want" Mr. Kim addedThe car finally came to a halt in front of the company and just lik
"I want you to assist Mr. Lee here in doing something, he will brief you a little cause right now I have a meeting to attend," Alex said as he stood up to leave"I trust that you guys can do all that, please impress me," Alex said and then left The meeting went smoothly.After the meeting, Alex went back to his office, Mr. Kim was already to report the progress of what they have been doing"Sir, the tankers have supplied the fuel to the filling station," Mr. Kim said"So fast," Alex said but he thanked God inwardly that the tankers successfully delivered the fuel with no issue"Yes sir, I just got the news," Mr. Kim said "That's good news," Alex said with a smile on his face."Please help me check up on Mr. Paul and Miss Ava" "Ok sir," Mr. Kim said"Please call me Mr. Anderson once he gets back to the office," Alex said"Ok sir," Mr. Kim said and he stood up and left the officeMr. Anderson hurried to Alex's office immediately he got to the company"Sir, you sent for me," Mr. Ander
She kept thinking of Alex and she couldn't take him off her mind"My gosh," She said and pout her lip. She couldn't think of the kiss. Although she didn't know what her mother was talking about but she was bothered, she was bothered because her mother wasn't the woman she knew when she was younger, and all of a sudden she changed and began to crave power. Mrs. Darius who didn't show concern for wealth and power before began to crave all these things"I hope nothing went wrong," Abigail thought, she was busy with other insignificant stuff that she didn't realize how her mother feltShe lay on her bed lazily and thought for hours, she began to imagine and think about Alex but she was scared that after what happened yesterday, her presence will disgust Alex. "Who cares," Abigail thought, from thinking good about Alex, she suddenly hated herself for thinking in such a way"Who is Alex? And how on earth can my presence disgust him" Abigail thought. She suddenly remembered that she saw Hai
Abigail went into the office while Mr. Kim stood outside. He didn't trust Abigail one bit but also, he decided to give the duo some privacy."Hey," Abigail said as she walked closer to Alex then she sat on the chair opposite him without being asked to"Please state your purpose for coming here, I'm very busy right now," Alex said, Abigail was stunned, she raised her eyebrow in surprise and gritted her teeth “whatever!”"You have ten minutes," Alex said as he paused everything that he was doing "You have a lot of nerves you know" Abigail said, Alex stared at her with a straight face. From the very start, Alex liked Abigail, and even when the whole stuff happened two days back, he was still in love with her.he didn’t want to believe that Abigail planned with her mother to put him in cell but hearing her words right now, Alex was convinced that it was all a setup. He was so upset and couldn't believe how people could play with other's feelings thinking that everything was a joke or s
Abigail didn't bother to go to her brother's or mother's office, she was feeling guilty but the deed has already been done and the only thing that she could do right now was to console herself for losing someone she truly loves and he loved her tooShe was heading to the pharmaceutical company established by Mr xavier but run by the Darius family, she was thinking of a lot of things and it distracted her from driving so she parked her car and closed her eyes. "No one is more important, my family is more important and I love them so much so not even a boy can separate me from them, or never will I take side with an outsider in public even if my family is wrong," Abigail thought trying to console herself.***"What's the news about" Alex finally asked"Check the news and these are the newspaper headlines," Mr. Kim said"Can you please stop beating around the bush, go straight to the point" Alex begged as he quickly turn on the TV in his office. The news was on all the stations and also
Mrs. Daruis sat in her office with a frown on her face as she watched the news, her plan was being covered with Alex recent good deeds and she was frustrated."You brat" She muttered under her breath as she switched off the TV, in annoyance.Just then, her phone began ringing "Hello honey," She said as she picked up her husband's call, "Hello, I was just watching the news and I was impressed yesterday but yet again your plans are backfiring," Mr. Daruis said, he didn't even ask of James and Abigail, he was never concerned about them and all he thought of was his other children because he loved them and their mother. "I want you to transfer money from Xavier's company account to me" Mr. Darius commanded, "I was caught and Alex warned me never to try and move money out of the company's account," Mrs Daruis said"Can you hear yourself, I don't care. If you don't find a way to send me money I will expose all that you have done before leaving you to her" Mr. Daruis replied"Baby, who a
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
"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
