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
