Alex laid on his bed for the rest of the day, busily pressing on his phone. He got bored of pressing his phone so he decided to keep himself busy with movies. He had everything he needed, but Alex's mind wasn't with him, he was thinking about how the meeting would go the following day.He was curious about how things would be and turned out. After all, he has never been to a grand meeting before, to talk of one that involves the elite of different companies.He didn't want to think of Jane, but for some reason he couldn't help it. She used to be everything special to him, the very woman he could risk his life for. The same person who made him despise his shame and the insults he faced from people just because he wanted to make her happy.At that moment she walked him out of her house, he thought his life would come to an end. He felt nothing good was going to come his way, but here he is.But now… he is the man he never thought he would be. He never imagined he'd step to this level, t
“How about we have dinner together?” Fred asked. “The bill is on me.”Alex didn't want to change the idea, he didn't want to show off his wealth and identity so soon, so he only nodded his head. “Sure. I don't mind.”It even shocked Alex the more that there were more guards standing outside. Is this how it's done everywhere? Especially when it has to do with safeguarding an elite? He mentally thought to himself, letting out a small smile.“Are they here because of you?” Fred asked.Alex didn't say a word, he only smiled. “I see.” “Sir–” one of the guards said.Alex gave them a signal that he was fine going alone. “You don't have to.”Fred was about to open the door for him due to what he had observed about Alex within the few minutes he was with him. But Alex stopped him, “I have hands.”Fred exchanged glances with his friend who made his way to the passenger side. Fred started the car, zooming off.“So, who's your friend?” Alex asked, referring to the other guy. “Oh, my bad. This
Alex stepped out of his hotel room and made his way towards the awaiting car outside. One of the guards opened the door for him, and he slid inside. The car drove straight to the conference building, the quiet air complimented the moment.As they arrived, the guard opened the door for him to step out. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his suit jacket, his eyes fixed on the towering skyscraper before him. He made his way towards the entrance. Everything around him felt differently. The building wasn't of any kind of a mere skyscrapers, it was totally different. Before he could gather his thoughts, a young lady approached him with a warm smile. "Mr. Wayne, it's really nice to have you. By the way, my name is Alice." she greeted, extending her hand for a handshake. Alex reciprocates the gesture, expressing his gratitude. "Nice to meet you, Alice," he replied warmly."Sir, if you don't mind, please follow me," she said politely and Alex trailed behind her as they entered the elevator. T
"Never thought you'd be here, Mr Alex Wayne." Her voice cut through the air, interrupting Alex's words. "Wearing expensive clothes you never worked for. Are you not ashamed of wearing borrowed clothes everyday? Pretending to be who you aren't?"Alex acted not to have heard her talking, but her voice laced through. Alice, who noticed what Jane was trying to do, spoke, "Excuse me, ma'am..." She wanted to speak but Jane cut her off."Excuse me, you stay out of this, young lady." She shunned her. Now looking at Alex, she continued. "Hey, I'm talking to you, Alex.""Were you saying something?" Alex raised his brows."Yes. And I am pretty sure you heard everything I just said. I saw what you did back there, and for you to think you are smart with pride, I'll tell you one thing, you aren't as smart as you think.""Pride, you say?" An amusing smile played on his face. "Since when did you know the word pride?""Don't talk to me like I didn't go to school.""That's the point, Jane, you can never
While they were still in the elevator, Alex got a phone call. Alex got a phone call that there was a problem in the airport. Alex furrowed his brows, then he asked. “What problem?” He asked.“We have intruders in the plane and they have refused to surrender.” “What intruders?” He asked, “Do they have identities?”The guard hesitated.“Answer the damn question, do they have identities?” He yelled.“Sir, they are the same men who visited you two nights ago. The same men you had gone for dinner with.”He breathed. Not like he was surprised, he knew something was up when he had gone for dinner with them. He suspected something about them, and he wasn't moved to hear it was Fred and Stanley.“Make them feel comfortable, I'll be there in a minute or two.” He said, hanging the call."Is everything alright, sir?" Alice asked."Not at all." He faked a smile. "Just a little unfinished business."They walked out of the elevator, and Alice was sure to have escorted Alex to where his car was par
However, Jane was still disturbed about the incident. It's as if it's all replaying in her mind and she couldn't help but hate Alex the more. His personality was so big, and it irritated her to see he was moving on perfectly fine.“I can't believe he has grown this prideful in just a day. The Alex I know would beg for mercy, he would most times cry. Now, he has started behaving like he has it all.” She cursed.“Come on, Jane, that shouldn't bother you. Just like you said, Alex would cry and beg for mercy. What if it was his pitiful life that got him to this level? You can't judge yet, all you've got to do is think of a way the William's Enterprise can regain their position.” Chris said, calming her down."You don't understand, Chris, that asshole dared to spit those words on my face. He had the audacity to call me a pig." She hissed. "He is never going free with that, I swear to God. I will see to it that he suffers for this.""You've got me on this, darling. I'm right behind you in w
When Alex got home, John approached him as he made his way to his room. “We heard what happened,” he said with concern. “I hope nothing happened to the Young master?”“Don't worry, the cops already handled it.”“That's a relief then.” John said, feeling a bit relaxed. “But how were they able to recognize you?”“Rumors fly around, John.” He stopped walking, and so did John. “I want you to do a little assignment for me.”“Anything for the Young master.” “I want you to find out everything I need to know about Fred Meyer and Stanley Bricktson. Submit every detail to me before nightfall. I don't want them leaving that cell until I say so.”“Yes, sir.” He continued his way to his room while John went to work on his assignment. Alex was determined to make Fred pay for what he did. Anyone who tries to mess with him isn't going free with their actions.He checked on his wrist watch, it was almost time before the kids dismissed classes for the day. He had promised to pick them up when he retu
(The Next Day)"Young Master, what do you think?" John asked, looking at Alex who was seated on the chair as he showed him something.Alex studied the picture, then slightly nodded his head in agreement. "It's just right. I think we'll go with that." "I..." John was about to talk when a knock was heard, interrupting his words."Come in." Alex permitted. The door of the office opened and the secretary walked in. "Sir."Alex looked at her. "What's the problem?" He asked."Sir, you've got a visitor." She announced."Who?" Alex raised his brows looking at the woman."He said he's Dominic Williams." The secretary replied politely."Let him in." He permitted.As soon as she left the office, John turned to look at him. "Isn't that the Williams?" He asked curiously.Alex smiled. "I knew it would get to this. Those people have nothing to offer, they can't even defend themselves. Let's see what he has for us then."The door opened again with Dominic striding in with an arrogant expression on
