Meanwhile, at the shop, Agnes had brought out several flowers and showed Alec, hoping that he would forgive her for what had happened and not ever let the world hear about it. “Do you really think that you can bribe me with this? Have you forgotten the fact that you aren't the only one selling flowers at all?” He asked. Agnes looked at him for a while and hurriedly sat on her knees. “What do you want me to do in other to forget this matter and I will never talk about you again!” She said. Alec scuffed. It didn't have anything to do with not talking about him but the fact that his reputation would hit the rock if he had not come back to ask her to sell the flowers. The tables also would not have turned against her. “Nothing.”“Please, don't do this to me”“If you had actually been the one in my position and I begged you so hard, would you have given me the chance to explain myself?” He asked while she paused her lips. Often times, just because they wanted to make sales, they oft
“I'm sorry for whatever issue you must have thought about me, Miss Julia” Alec began. Debby's mother looked at him with fury. If looks could kill, it would be evident to note that Alec could have been six metres off the ground. “Get out of here!” Their mother said. Alec couldn't understand what exactly was going on but Debby knew that everything had to do with her sister who had brainwashed their mother. "Mother, have I done anything wrong?" Alec asked as he stared at her. He didn't realised that Debby also wanted him to leave. Not because she hated him but because she was not ready for embarrassment but he wasn't seeing that. "Can't you understand that you weren't wanted here?" Julia said as she stared at the gifts he brought for her sister. “And I got this for Debby” He said and handed over the cake and flowers to Debby. However, just before she was about to collect it, Julia jealously almost pushed the cake off his hand before Debby was able to save the cake. “Are you crazy?”
Alec thought about the call and realised that he didn't have to dwell too much about it so far he didn't have anything to do with her. Then, he thought about Debby and realised that he needed her at that moment. However, just as he was about to walk back to the ward, someone hit him and a paper fell off. “I'm sorry,” She said and was about to walk off when Alec bent over to pick up the paper and instantly, he was thrilled at the sight he saw. It was an advert for the sales of lands and houses. Alec realised that he didn't have one yet. He had remembered that the journalists would have traced him to his house however about this issue on ground. Just then, Tim Welsh's call came in. However, just before he could pick up the call, the lady beny forward and picked up her paper. “Hey.. wait…” He said but she was long gone as if she was avoiding Alec. “Mr Alec. We just heard about another situation about you. It would be advisable if you just give the press your statement” He s
“Mr Alec, this isn't our plan. You are breaching the plan” Tim said as soon as he dropped a message, stating that he couldn't go on with it but he could help with Sophia's location in which he had done. The news of Debby leaving without even asking her out yet really weighed him down. However, seeing how much Tim had helped him in the past and the pressure that is being put on him to bring down the woman that has caused the chaos, Alec thought of helping him again. “I'm sorry. That was a mistake. I am working on it already” He sent and left for her apartment. Her apartment was a well furnished duplex Alec didn't even know existed. From the looks of things, it seemed like he had been living there for few years even while they were together. It reminded him of the scenario whereby she would always tell him then that she was going on few months vacation because she found something doing to support him. At times, whenever Alec asked her where the location was, she would always f
“Next time, just tell me when she leaves home. And besides, I owe her no explanation for anything that happened. I just want to get some money for myself as soon as she leaves”“The kids can go ahead and stay with their grandparents. I have no intentions to take care of them if they eventually leave” He said and hung up, looked around in fear and walked back inside. A woman, accompanied by a woman Alec presumed to be her friend stood at that spot again. Seeing that he was not there, tears streamed down the woman's face. “I need to get him to jail for the pain he has caused me. The problem is that I can't get him red-handed” She said and kept sobbing. Alec looked at the situation and realised how much of a pain she had been. “I'm glad you pretended for few years that you had cancer so that you can let him go since he hasn't been willing to sign the divorce papers”She said again.“He doesn't love me. Why wouldn't he let me go?” Alec thought of helping her secretly but wouldn't it
"Right from college, she had her house and several acres of land in her name. Guess what my friend did?”She asked Alec. He was sure that she must have changed her name to his because of love. That was probably the worst thing. “What?”“She changed everything to his name. In fact, he convinced her to do that. My friend does not own anything and he doesn't want to divorce her because of the money and the alimony he would pay. He wants her to die because he heard the news that she had cancer in which she did not”“That's crazy” Alec muttered, staring at Hannah whose tears dropped. He couldn't believe that he was seeing a good friend after a few years and she was in a dilemma. He realized that he had to do everything in his power to help her. ____“Darling, when are we getting married?” A young lady's voice echoed in the room. She seemed to be applying some sort of gel on her body, wrapped in a white towel as her hubby laid on the bed staring in thoughts. However, it was not just o
“Me?” Hannah's friend asked and looked at her friend. Earlier, she did not take a fancy at this man because he wasn't handsome. After all, she did not know his status then but now, he was handsome! Was this an opportunity that he wanted her?“Yes.”“Well, I am a civil servant!” She said and looked at Hannah who cleared her throat slightly. Hannah remembered in the past that no matter what race or money you could have, if he did not want to look your way, he wouldn't. What then was this all about one besides, her friend wasn't a civil servant. She did nothing for a living other than to exhort money from people. “Really?”“Even if you want me to work in your company, I can. Provided that you will pay me tips” However, Alec was only doing all of that just because he wanted to waste time in ensuring that Harrison would get his job done perfectly.“My workers here are full. It's nice meeting you”“Would you like to get my contact?” She asked again and smiled. “Not yet” At that moment,
“I will help you out” Vivi said. “Really? You can also get in touch with her?” He asked again and looked at her. “Of course. Do you really take my words not too serious? I have met her before and know some personal things about her but I lost her contact at some point”“What?” Smith said, frowning. Just when he thought that his breakthrough was already around the corner because of this naive woman, this woman decided to destroy it? Smith was lucky that she did not notice his reactions due to what she said because she had other plans in mind or else, she would completely forget about the matter. “Oh! She has a flower shop. Why don't we pay a visit to her?” She asked. Smith panicked. How could he go out at this moment when his girlfriend was out there, looking for him? He had told her that she should not be worried about him even though he was sick. But because the girlfriend had once come around when his wife was not around, it seemed easier to find their flat. Smith did not wan
“Babe, you can't go. I promise you that I will take care of everything outside.” Debby insisted just as Alec had dressed in an Italian tuxedo suit and had his hair styled perfectly. “I feel like if I do not not go, it will only make me a coward and I do not want that to happen and so, I have decided that I will go’ Alec replied instead. Even though he had today planned out also, the schedule the system had given him to resolve everything that happened was just a day and he could not just throw that into the mud. “At least, hold on for Harrison to call. He's your worker and he will definitely help you resolve everything” Debby said and in the end, he agreed to stay at home. Meanwhile, Debby's phone had been ringing continuously and just as when she had seen it, she was surprised to have missed a call from her grandfather and an unknown contact. “Grandfather called me. I think it has to do with this issue but I promise you that you have nothing to be worried about because I will ma
"Boss, I will come over tomorrow. I need to call some of the stubborn publishing companies” Harrison said. However, Alec scoffed lightly. He knew that this was the time that some of the publishing team would extort him. “If anyone does not want a sum of a thousand dollars to bring down whatever post about me, I suggest that you just let them do whatever they want!” Alec said firmly. “Did you say you will go face the media team?” Debby asked while he nodded and stared into space. He did not expect that the issue he never wanted to involve the cops had escalated and now, everyone thought he's a killer. Yet, he had just a week to make sure that everything was back to normal. “Of course. I should at least tell them something. If I do not say anything, it will only make me nothing but a Killer and I do not….”Debby shook her head. “You shouldn't go! If you do, it will only worsen things. You could get killed. I promise you that whatever you need, I will let you know. How about I run
I'm worried that my business may be put to stop especially now that I am trying to collaborate with some business partners to build schools as expansion of my business” Alec said almost immediately. “I don't understand why all of these are happening. Have you been doing something behind me and…”“Debby, do you trust me?” Alec asked, a bit disappointed at her. She looked at him for a while and exhaled out. Of course she trusted him but it felt like she did not know him anymore. It didn't make sense that a news would just pop up about him and he wouldn't know the source of what happened and yet, it seemed like he was not saying anything about it. “I trust you but I don't know what to believe about this matter” Debby stated while he looked at her. “Few days ago, some set of people were caught on camera and had stolen the important files of some business associates. How could I let it slide? It turned out that they were working for one Eric and I don't understand”At the mention of th
“You've been smiling all day. Is there something you didn't tell me?” Alec asked as he hugged Debby by her wrist while they watched a TV show.“I met someone that's as sweet as you are and when I seemed to be in trouble earlier, he helped me out” She said and smiled as she remembered the scene. Alec chuckled. “He swept you off your feet also? You know I did that also”Debby laughed shortly. However that was not what she meant. She had met Greg earlier at the grocery store earlier after she had an issue with a payment. However, they had talked about her best interest while they laughed it off over the coffee after shopping and now, he wanted to offer her a job.“Just like that?” Alec asked while she nodded and smiled. Somehow, that did not sit right with him but he knew he could not piss her off since she was in her best mood. “Would you rather work with me instead? I can easily promote you as the director and…”“Alec, you have your business at hand while I also have mine. I just w
“Fortunately for us, grandfather is getting better and I was told that he would be on his feet soon. That only means one thing, the party may hold!” Debby said in excitement the moment she entered Alec's mansion. Alec however did not have his mind settled on what she said but her beauty. Every day, it seemed like she was getting more beautiful!“You're cute, do you know that?” He suddenly asked as he swooped her in his arms and gave her a peck while she blushed. However, Alec's phone beeped slightly. Ignoring it and wanting to spend more time with the woman he loved the most, he pecked her again. “I love you so much, Debby. Promise me that you will never leave me even if you find out something terrible about me* Alec said. Debby smiled and looked at him. “Why on earth will I want to leave you? You mean so much to me and I am definitely not leaving you!” She told him. At this moment, his phone would not stop ringing continuously.“Check out your phone”“I just want to spend time
“It's really nice to meet with you, Mr Greg” Alec said and smiled as he shook hands with Greg who would not stop talking randomly. “Ah, yeah. I have always been anticipating meeting you and that was why I decided to make it a surprise visit and moreover, would you like to have a gift?” Greg asked as he brought forward a beautiful bunny while Alec smiled. For some reason, it seemed weird because they were meeting over some business meeting. However, Alec still decided to collect the bag. “Thank you, Mr Greg. Are you perhaps leaving soon? We should still do some business' together because it is evident that you are more of a pro in this industry than I am”Alec concluded. If he was able to meet up with several investors like him, it would make him richer and so, he could take the woman he loved places which wouldn't be a problem for him. {Kill him. I hate seeing my rival with another system and you know this} The dark system said within Greg but Greg smiled. Now was probably not t
Finally, after ten minutes, Helen and the director were able to enter the mansion while she gasped in shock. For a while, she had forgotten that she was with her husband and so, needed to maintain her balance. It made her wonder how handsome the owner of the estate would be if his house was this beautiful. “Darling, be on your knees!” Her husband had said but she was too stunned to kneel. If fact, she was dazed. The fact that this had always been the kind of setting she wanted in a living room got her wondering if it was a god living there. He definitely spent millions of dollars. Few minutes later, Alec walked downstairs coldly while he held a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on the woman who had her eyes fixed on the scenery of the living room while her husband tried to control her. “Enjoying the view?” He asked suddenly while they both looked at him. He could see the shock laced on their face while they gasped. “Alec, what are you doing here?” Helen asked in surprise. “Didn't yo
“Let's just get this done if you know you want to hold the party” Helen's husband said as they passed through a short path and was finally able to get Alec's mansion correctly. “Wow. His mansion is way bigger than ours. Is that why he seemed so crazy earlier?” Helen said and scuffed while her husband tapped her. You definitely want to spend the rest of the day here, in cold since you don't want to cooperate. “What do you mean by that? Are you not both here because we want to see him?” She asked. Just then, they walked up to some armed guards while Helen stared at the guards. Somehow, this was the kind of life she also wished for but when she could not even get that kind of lifestyle, she decided to settle for plan B. At that moment, the snow had started to make the weather become so unbearable while Helen embraced herself.“We want to see your boss. He is expecting us”Meanwhile, in his room, Alec, dressed in his bathrobe stared at the tv screen that was connected to what was goi
“We cancelled the order. Can we have our money back?” Helen said in panic as she checked her phone again only to see that her friends were already at the estate. "Hey, I can't just let you make me be on the loss part. This is how I feed my family!" The baker yelled but the couple did not give her a listening hear instead. “Tom, what do I do?” She asked in panic as an incoming call came in. Have you tried speaking with the estate owner? I can't go down like this”She said again. “What about me? What should I do to the cake you ordered? Do you realize that I am here at all?"“Just hand over our money! We are trying to save for a better apartment and we need money. Please do whatever you can to help us and we promise you that we will pay back in whatever way” Helen said in desperation. "You should have thought about that before you ordered for cake. If you want me to hand over the money, you will go to the cops with me. Whosoever wins has the money and it's obviously me because you
