Chapter - 179"What the fuck!" Veronica jumped back in a scare when she saw a stranger getting on his knees and propose to her.'And what's with the tone? Is he from the depths of the Mariana Trench, Turu... Lub...? Are you kidding me?' Veronica was vigilant.Meanwhile, Brad, who had just made a fool out of himself, was left standing, looking in shock at the young man. He had just hoped for a nice closure, and all he got was another betrayal?'She must be laughing at me,' Brad thought, and his frustration transformed into regret, followed by Desperation. And in no time, he hated the young man. Brad knew nothing about the young man and had never met him. Even the misunderstanding was his own doing. But nothing mattered now, for he hated the young man. Maybe the cumulative hate he had for Alex and the shame from that day at the restaurant had finally filled the pot to its brim, and unluckily, the young man had to face the brunt of it.While Brad was staring at the young man intensely, a
Chapter - 180 "If you have a sister, Why can't I have a brother?" Alex frowned, "Don't tell me only your father is allowed to penetrate the eggs." "Penetrate eggs?" Rebecca looked confused, "But my father likes his eggs scrambled." "... Even you like your eggs... Umm... Umm..." Rebecca looked at Veronica and wanted to ask, but Veronica was quick to cover her mouth with her hands. "Don't... Don't say a word more," Veronica stopped Rebecca, "I won't be able to get that image out of my head." "... Can we talk about something else instead?" Muffling Rebecca's voice, Veronica turned toward Alex. "It's no time to chat," Alex shrugged, "We should get going now," Alex said. "But before that, let me formally introduce you both to my brother, my best pal, Damien," Alex said, putting his hand behind Damien's back and pushing him forward lightly. "He has been away for his studies for a while now. But I guess he is back for good this time," Alex looked at Damien and smiled. "Well, that's t
Chapter - 181"Didn't know my business partner was so chivalrous,"When Alex and the rest were talking among themselves, out of nowhere, someone else butted in the conversation. But the voice was familiar, and when they turned around to look, it was Jessica."You are finally here," Rebecca rushed towards her sister and hugged her nice and tight, "I missed you so much.""What took you so long," Veronica complained," Don't you know how hot it is out here? Good thing we had Alex's brother to keep us entertained." Veronica said and let go of Damien's arm, much to his dismay."He is Alex's brother," Veronica said as she introduced Damien but paused."Ummm... What was your name again?" Veronica smiled at Damien and asked."What?" Damien thought he had heard it wrong. Surely he introduced himself in the most vivid way to leave a mark. Moreover, they have been conversing with each other for the last ten to fifteen minutes, spilling all the embarrassing details about his brother. And all of th
Chapter - 182"So, who do you want to meet first?" Damien asked. Damien was driving the car with Alex sitting comfortably in the passenger seat, "Mom or Dad?""Let's just go home," but contrary to Damien's expectations, Alex chose neither."Huh... That's unexpected," Damien looked at Alex in amusement, "I was sure you would want to meet mom the first thing after you land.""I would want to," Alex smiled, "But she must be busy at the hospital. I don't think we should disturb her there." Alex said."... As for dad," Alex shook his head, "I am sure he won't be at the company. He never is."Despite whatever Martha said, Alex knew something was wrong with his father. Alex could feel that his father was hiding something, and not everything was fine between his mother and him. And now, it was up to him to dig deep into the matter and uncover the truth."Well, whatever you say, boss," Damien did not get much into the why and hows of what Alex was thinking.Soon, they reached home, and Damien
Chapter - 183"I need to take this," Alex told his mother and, leaving their conversation on hold for a while, made his way out of the kitchen, leaving a curious Martha behind.'Who is it? More important than me."Meanwhile, Alex made his way out of the kitchen to the living room. But the lord busybody had already occupied that territory and was chilling on the sofa, scrolling through his phone. With Damien there, it was a no-go zone. So with only his room left as an option, Alex hurried up the stairs to his room."Hello..." Alex answered the call just before it was going to end."Hi... It's me, Karen," Alex heard a nervous and hesitant soft voice that he could recognise anywhere. And there was this long pause that followed. Karen was waiting for Alex to give her some sort of acknowledgement."You know... Your name showed up on the screen when you called. It's a nice feature that helps you know the person calling from the other side." Alex chuckled."I know, but what if someone else c
Chapter - 184"Wake up, sleepy head," Alex was sleeping peacefully, dreaming about the beach and the beautiful calm sea, when suddenly the sea turned violent, and a huge wave came towards him."Aahh..." Alex woke up with a jolt and sat straight. He was drenched in water all over. And in front of him, Damien laughed like crazy with a bucket in his hand."Fuck you, man..." Alex cursed as he brushed his hands through his wet hair, "It was such a nice dream."It was only the second day since his return, and Alex wanted to have that long-awaited stress-free nap. But how could Damien let that happen? He waited for a while, but as soon as the clock hit nine, Damien knew he had to do something. Damien walked into Alex's room to wake up Alex. But when he saw Alex sleeping so peacefully, a devious idea struck him. And next, it was Damien, Alex and a bucket full of water."How long are you going to sleep?" Damien was not at all apologetic. Instead, he even jumped on Alex and hugged him, not cari
Chapter - 185*Knock! Knock!"Come in," Rachel said as she played with her phone. She was clearly not the busiest doctor out there."Aahh... Look at you, enjoying your evening," Alex commented as he walked in. And only after listening to his voice did Rachel look up from her phone. And her face bloomed with smiles as she saw Alex."You are finally here... How long has it been?" Rachel got up from her chair and walked towards Alex, "I thought I would forget your face.""You kidding me? Who can forget this face after watching it once?""Your smooth tongue won't help you this time. You didn't even think of calling me all this time. Come here, let your aunt discipline you," Rachel said as she slid her hand behind Alex's neck and pulled his face into her bosom.Now Alex's face was between the crack of Rachel's boobs, juggling from one breast to the other. This sudden action from Rachel took Alex by surprise, and the softness of those large, round breasts was heaven. Alex wanted to enjoy th
Chapter - 186"Are you here yet?" Wearing a black tuxedo, a bow tie, and with his chair nicely gelled and combed hair, Alex stood in a corner talking on the phone with someone.He was in a large, brightly lit room designed like the twentieth-century European architecture. And to make it even more magnificent, majestic chandeliers hung from the tall ceilings.But even the hall paled in comparison to the people. While he stood in the corner, there were tons of people walking around him. And every one of them looked rich, very rich. Actually, it was the pre-release event for their new project. But more than anything, it was a party for the rich to take a break, gather together and boast. Well, it could also be an opportunity for some to make a few connections.Everyone had a smile on their face as they greeted each other. If one were to just look at the appearance, the party was nothing but an amicable gathering of the rich. But that was only on the surface. Not everyone was as jolly as
