The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 35: Dumb-dumb
“Wait, let me get this straight. Lady Lockwood—the matriarchal bitch you basically thought was going to banish you—called you directly, apologized for the misunderstanding, and went as far as offering you the project head position, and you said no?” Happy yelled, her voice filled with disbelief as she stared at Seraphina like she’d lost her mind."Welllll, technically, I didn’t say no," Seraphina replied defensively, fidgeting with her hands. "I told her I’d think about it."“That’s the same thing, you dumb-dumb! What the hell is there to think about?” Happy threw her hands up in exasperation.“Seraphina, what is wrong with you?” Caroline interjected, her voice tight as she tried to keep her temper in check. “Please, tell me you have a good reason for delaying your response to Lady Lockwood.”Seraphina looked down, avoiding her mother’s piercing gaze. She opened her mouth as if to explain, but no words came out. How could she explain something she barely understood herself?Caroline s
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 36: Beneath the Surface
EarlierAt Maverick Corporation, Alexander finished his call to Seraphina, a smile of satisfaction tugging at his lips. He had set the wheels in motion—now all he had to do was watch as the Lockwood family found themselves on their knees, forced to acknowledge Seraphina's worth.“Thank you, Archie,” Alexander said, handing the phone back.“Anytime, sir,” Archie replied with a nod of respect.Alexander added his personal number into Archie's phone before returning it. “Let me know if you need anything.”Archie stared, surprised by Alexander’s humility. For a man who wielded power and influence so effortlessly, his humility was almost startling. Archie couldn’t help but contrast Alexander with Daniel Lockwood, who possessed much less power yet flaunted it shamelessly. It was a striking irony that lingered with him.Outside, in his car, Alexander composed a message to Seraphina:“Seraphina, Lady Charlotte will call soon and offer you the project head position for the Maverick contract. W
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 1: The Blue Diamond
"Money has never made man happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness," Alexander chuckled as he read it off his social media feed. "Whoever came up with that must have been crazy rich or just plain crazy," he thought as he rose to his feet. He was standing at the top balcony of the Lockwood Family Mansion. "Money does make a man happy, crazy money that is; the question is, do men in their innate evil nature deserve such happiness?" he concluded. After taking a few more moments to admire the blend of sky and city lights, Alexander headed back inside. With his head bent over his phone scrolling, he bumped into someone. It wasn’t just someone he had bumped into; it was Jacob Harrington, King of the Diamond Enterprise, accompanied by his assistant, Silvia, and his bodyguard "My apologies," he said as he tried to wipe the champagne he had spilled on Jacob Harrington's suit. "It's fine," Jacob replied. In a split second of retaliation, Jacob’s bo
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 2: The Blue Diamond 2
The entire hall remained in silence, everyone too paralyzed with shock to say a word. The blue diamond lay scattered across the hall, shattered into a million pieces. “How dare you?!!!! Do you have any idea how much the blue diamond cost?” Daniel yelled, breaking the silence. “Considering how easily it broke, not much,” Alexander said. “A regular diamond wouldn’t have shattered falling from such height and force, much less the blue diamond, which has been recorded to be the world’s strongest diamond.” It is a known fact that diamonds are one of the strongest substances on earth, strong enough that they are used to cut metal.The entire hall gasped and murmured to each other.Daniel could feel the heat rising. His nicely knitted lie was coming undone. He couldn’t let that happen; he had to do something. “You’re a live-in son-in-law with not a single dollar to his name. Understandably, you wouldn’t know anything about the Blue Moon Diamond nor its value, so I won’t argue with
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 3: Master Caspian
"I’m sorry, but you seem to have made a mistake. I am not who you are looking for," Alexander stated firmly."Master Caspian, even after ten years, I still would never forget your face," the elderly man insisted."The name’s Alexander, now get lost,” he replied with determination.The white-bearded man paused, contemplating.His name was Geoffrey, anc he was or rather, he used to be Master Caspian’s butler.He took a closer, more concentrated look at Alexander. His demeanor and appearance seemed vastly different and unrecognizable from the boy he once knew. He looked thinner, more disheveled, with overgrown hair, but his eyes… his eyes held a different story."Young Master Caspian, I know it is you," he said with a gleeful smile, bowing his head."The name is Alexander, Alexander Chase. The Caspian you seek of is long dead, at least to you all," Alexander retorted."But Master Caspian, you are needed back at home," Geoffrey insisted.Alexander paused, his mind spinning. "I am needed? S
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 4: The Diamond Banquette
After some persistent persuasion from Seraphina, Alexander finally caved and agreed to attend the Diamond banquet. He had no choice but to go solo since he was the sole invitee.Guests flooded in through the grand entrance of the mansion, greeted by a display of extravagance and refinement. Twin marble staircases, draped with flowers, led up to intricately carved double doors flanked by torches held in ornate brass sconces.The air hummed with the gentle melody of a string quartet, mingling with the laughter of the arriving guests.Stepping inside, Alexander was embraced by the warm glow of crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, casting intricate patterns of light on the polished marble floors, flashing back memories from his past life, memories he had worked hard to bury, but now, they were resurfacing due to Geoffrey's sudden reappearance.Navigating through the banquet hall, Alexander felt like a stranger in a strange land, with unfamiliar faces casting looks of disdain
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 5: King Harrington
The entire crowd was lost for words. Why would Jacob Harrington know a wretched live-in son-in-law like Alexander?Every jaw in the banquet was dropped as Jacob Harrington gleefully came over to the bar.“Alexander Chase, I wasn’t sure you’d make it,” he said, as he shook his hand firmly, ignoring everyone except, including Julian.“Jacob Harrington,” Alexander greeted with a slight bow.“Sir Harrington, do you know this man?” Julian stammered.“Well, not as much as I would love to. Did you come with him?” Jacob replied.“No, I didn’t,” he answered.“Oh, that’s too bad. Oh, about the business contract with your family, do well to tell your father to consider it a done. Just a few more I’s and T’s to be dotted and crossed, and it’s a done deal.”“Will do just that, Sir,” Julian replied, his entire body quivering with gratification.“Now, Alexander, would you like us to chat, here or go somewhere else?” He said to Alexander, completely ignoring Julian once more.Alexander took a glance a
The Enigmatic Alexander Chase Chapter 6: Monroe
As Alexander left the banquet, “Maybe they are not all the same after all” he thought to himself about his meeting with Jacob Harrington.The sky was pitch dark, and as he walked through the Billiard Maze Avenue. It was given its name due to its numerous corners intersections and dead ends synonymous with that of a maze. Alexander could feel that he was being followed so he turned around, and his suspicions were correct. He took the next turn to the left and lost his pursuer, but just after a few seconds, he saw another one. Quickening his pace, he took the next corner and the next, but with every turn he took there was always someone tailing him from behind or by the side until he was faced with a dead end. Alexander stood firm, and looked at the shadows behind him, he counted six of them. Alexander let out a loud sigh and said;“Before we get started, do any of you gentlemen want to walk away” he said in a cold still voice. His words sent shivers down their spine. He turned aroun
