Alex's mind was restless, so he had to meet his father personally to talk to him.

Alex walked into the study, his father sitting behind the large wooden desk. He looked up as Alex entered, a hint of a smile on his face.

"Ah, Alex, I'm glad you came to see me," he said, his voice warm.

Alex walked over to the desk, his eyes fixed on his father. "I need to talk to you about something," he said, his voice firm.

His father nodded, his expression serious. "Of course, son. What's on your mind?"

Alex took a deep breath before speaking. "I want to know if you've moved on from mom just like that," he said, his voice laced with emotion.

His father's expression softened, and he leaned forward in his chair. "Alex, I know it may seem sudden, but I've been alone for a long time. I'm supposed to move on at some point," he said, his voice gentle.

Alex's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with thoughts. "And what about the Flares?" he asked, his voice cold. "Are you aware that it's possible they were resp

    Alex was running against time as he rushed towards the boys’s dormitory. The doctor made it clear that his lil sister's condition had gotten critical, and at least a million was needed to begin with the operation. Alex couldn't come up with such an amount of money, on such a notice. Even the salary from his part-time job couldn't pay that amount, even if he worked for two years. He believed that the only person that could assist him with some funds was his best friend, Blake,who was from a third class rich family. He had been trying to reach Blake through the phone, but Blake wasn't picking up his calls, nor replying to his messages, so Alex had no choice but to run as fast as he could, to school, and then to Blake's personal dorm apartment. He quickly passed by the first dorm building which was made up of large single rooms which contained at least two students with poor backgrounds, per room. Then he headed to the second building which was more fancier, and made up of several a

"Mr. Ambrose, I deeply regret my actions and I am willing to accept any consequences." He said sincerely.“Hmm I see,” Mr Ambrose nodded thoughtfully, he noticed that Alex

    Out of all the options, Alex could only think of one place to go, and that was his boss, Mr Rogers, who was the general manager of Emrand Enterprise. He couldn't go to the bank because he didn't possess any property that was valuable enough to serve as loan collateral. He had been working hard as a part time worker, under the supervision of Mr Rogers, so he was hoping that Mr Rogers would be kind enough to lend him the money.As he arrived at the enormous building of the Emrand Enterprise, he headed straight to Mr Roger's office.The closer he got to the office, the more nervous he became.

Alex's heart ached at the sight of his beloved sister, abandoned and vulnerable. He knelt beside her, gently shaking her shoulder to wake her up. "Leah, Leah, wake up," he whispered urgently. Leah stirred, opening her eyes slowly and looking up at her brother with a weak smile. "Alex, you're back," she mumbled. "Leah, why are you out here? You should be inside, resting," Alex asked. Leah looked down, her eyes filled with tears. "The doctors t

    After Alex had signed the papers, he asked Peter to get the Chief Doctor of the hospital, and instruct him to start the operation on Leah immediately.“Excuse me! Where’s the Chief Doctor?” Pete called out to a passing nurse, who gave him a bewildered look before pointing him toward the doctor's office.Pete rushed to the Chief Doctor's office, one of his men following behind him with a suitcase filled with three million dollars for the operation, and Alex followed closely with Leah on his back.They stepped into the Chief doctor’s office, where the man himself was poring over charts with his assistant.

    “Is she okay?” Was the first question which Alex asked the moment his gaze fell upon the nurse. The nurse remained silent and kept a straight face as she kept walking towards Alex and Pete. When she was close enough, she halted and looked at the two men. “ Which one of you is closely related to the girl?” She asked. “Me!” Alex replied. “Please come with me.” She said as she turned to leave. “What's going on?” Pete asked trying to follow the duo. “Not you, him only!” The nurse said to Pete as she led Alex away into another room. “Well… at least tell me what's going on!” Pete shouted to deaf ears. When Alex was seated, the nurse stared at him with eyes that seemed as if she could see his soul. “Your sister…” she started, but paused. “Yes, what about my sister?” Alex anxiously asked. “ Well…Your sister is fine… she is now resting. You'll be able to meet her after 60 minutes.” The nurse disclosed. Alex breathe a sigh of relief, “ oh thank God.” He smiled with joy. “But you,

Alex had explained everything that happened, and Pete was looking really pissed.As they entered the giant building, they stepped into the lobby, where the reception desk was empty apart from an anxious intern who glanced up nervously. “Where’s your manager?” Pete asked her.“Uh, he’s in his office… I think?” she stuttered.They both strode towards the office, where the manager, Mr Rogers, sat behind his desk, a smug smile plastered across his face.“Well, well.

Busy plotting another heist, I assume?” Rogers couldn't help but laugh out loudly. “Plotting a heist? Have you lost your brain?” “Oh, don't play dumb with me, I know what you did. You gave me a loan, and collected My ring as collateral, then you went ahead to send your men to steal back the money despite the fact that I told you about my sister's condition.
