“You have to share it equally” Ursula complained as soon as Alphonse entered his study.Today after a series of caution from Peter, Alphonse was deciding to act civilized today. So he invited them to his personal study, but not before having his lawyer give them a brief on the disadvantages they had regarding the case theyl brought up.And thus, that prompted Ursula's whining and a deep scowl from Paul as soon as he entered the room. Alphonse looked at the deceitful mother and stolen son and he let out a small chuckle at the fraudulent act before addressing them.“We are just getting started Ursula. Have a sit” He pointed to the seat and Ursula snickered before sitting down."Whatever this is, better be worth my time" she muttered aloud as she lowered herself inside the soft plush seat."I can assure you it will be worth every while" Alphonse said with a smile and a brief nod.“I got your stupid message through my lawyer yesterday” Ursula said as soon as she was seated with her son.
“I had a discussion with Geoffrey Hall,” Alphonse said over morning tea with Peter the next day.Peter nodded and slurped his tea noisily.“And what did he have to say about his father’s intrusion?” Peter peered into the face of the young man as he asked.Alphonse shrugged weakly and revealed what was already obvious to the old man.“He knows about it. It was all planned and it was to get my attention and make me work with him to get back at Vivian” Alphonse said.“But he could have done it without you. Why bring your mother into all of this?” Peter asked.Alphonse sighed and sipped his tea before replying.“He found out I was the owner of the Edmund company now and I had been married to her once so I would have enough dirt on her family and be the best person in the best position to help him get him back” Alphonse said and sighed again.Peter picked up his saucer and placed his teacup on top of it before setting it down back on the table and folding his arms.“And what have you chose
“He’s in the building”“What’s he doing?” Alphonse asked the informant on the phone.He had paid someone to have Ivan Robinson, the crackhead junior brother of Vivian Robinson, follow.And that was what he was doing now.The younger man was the easiest option to tail and the best person to infiltrate the family from, Thomas had become a vegetable at the hospital and Margaret had eyes and ears on the ground.While nobody had heard from Vivian in days, she was too depressed and ashamed to come outside or be seen in public, since her famous family had become the laughing stock of the town.“He’s meeting up with Cornelius, they are taking out a trade” The informant told Alphonse.“Good, take as much evidence as you can. Give me something worth your pay” Alphonse said to the man over the phone“Yes sir” The man whose name he had refused to tell because of professionalism and secrecy, nodded as though Alphonse was there to see him.“Keep me posted” Alphonse said and ended the call as soon a
“What can I do for you?” Alphonse asked as soon as the young man sat down in his study.“We have a lot to discuss. I mean I have been meaning to discuss with you for a long time but I am afraid my mother and brother have ruined that peaceful negotiation already” Harry said and Alphonse nodded once before sitting down.The young man had been polite with him since he arrived and Alphonse was trying to be civilized with him.“First off, I would like to apologize for the rash behavior you witnessed from my mother and my brother. I heard what they did and I am not impressed to say the least.” Harry said with a hand to his chest and Alphonse wondered what the man had up his sleeves. “My sincerest apologies” Harry added again and Alphonse nodded again.“Okay. I think that apology should be coming from you mother and your brother, but it’s thoughtful for you to be here on their behalf. Mr Harry, let us approach your reason for being here, you stopped me from having breakfast with my family an
Alphonse threaded carefully and barefooted as not a make a sound as be descended the stairs towards his study.A figure came out of nowhere with a shotgun and Alphosne pointed his gun at the person, finger on trigger.He was in defence mode and would not hesitate in shooting because his family was in the house and he had everything to loose at the moment.Turns out it was Peter."Fuck! Peter, I almost blew your brains off!", Alphonse whisper exclaimed."I'm sorry, I was heading to your room. The security guards are passed out. Sleeping gas" Peter told Alphonse."Interesting" Alphosne said, even though his heart was thundering in its rib cage.The situation was not in any way interesting at all."Charlotte is in my room. Where is my mum?" Alphonse asked"I didn't want to wake her, so I locked the door from outside" Peter informed him and Alphonse nodded.“Where is he?” Alphosne inquired about the intruder.“In the study I believe” Peter replied him and both men advanced towards the doo
“Sir, he will see you now” a prison warden informed Alphonse, and he gave a curt nod before standing up and following the warden.They walked to the receiving area and Paul sat down handcuffed in a chair still in his clothes from the night before.As Paul saw him he sat straighter.The warden motioned for the empty seat for Alphonse, and he took the seat with a little “Thank You”.Paul fiddled with his fingers and looked away.“Are you here to laugh in my face and tell me I’m a thieving piece of shit?” Paul asked.“Uh…. Not yet. But I might, it depends on how this conversation goes. So I’ll save it for later” Alphonse said, gritting his teeth in annoyance.This man went into his house with a loaded gun to steal with his family present.What if it was someone else who approached him in the study?Maybe Charlotte or his mother, Hannah.If Paul had shot anyone he would have gotten away free.“Why are you here? Laugh in my face and leave quickly. My mother is coming to post bail soon”, Pa
Alphonse breathed slowly and in pain as he took his pain medication and stuffed the bottle back in his pocket.Today he was visiting his company, after a long while.After the accident which had him bed ridden for a few days, his mother had forced him to stay at him for two weeks.He would have refused and got back to work, but him being in a cast made him mother still stay with him and not go back to meet Cornelius hall which was a win for him and Charlotte was giving him her utmost attention and taking care of him properly.The other day she had breakfast with him, played scrabble with him and stayed in his room to read to him after he complained of his hand.All these made Alphonse not utter another word about going to work.The hit and run driver was still unable to be identified as the CCTV camera in the parking lot was faulty, so they were still on the hunt for the person.Ursula had called for help and he was immediately taken to the hospital where he woke up to his crying moth
Knock knockAlphonse raised his head from the pile of papers he was going through to see Harry at the door."Harry. Come in please" Alphonse urged him inside the study.Harry looked a little bit out of place and nervous which Alphonse noticed, and with a smile , a quick nod and pursed lips Harry entered the study and took his seat."What's good? What can I do for you?" Alphosne asked and took his attention off the papers to focus on Harry.“I need to talk to you about Vivian Robinson" Harry started and Alphonse raised a surprised brow before taking off his reading glasses to listen to what Harry had to say.“Okay” he nodded. "What about?" Alphonse asked"Knowing your history with her I don't know how this will settle with you. And seeing that you and her are not on good terms" Harry said and Alphonse laughed lowly a little."Just get to it Harry, I have no problem with Vivian. We were married once and we divorced. It's that simple and not an object of discussion" Alphonse said and Har
