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
"Who wanted to see me?" An arrogant voice came after about five minutes just as the sales girl went to call the manager!"It's me." Alex frowned as he looked at the Manager.Immediately the manager saw Alex, his body trembled with fear, what the hell was this devil doing here?Others might not know, but he knew rather too well, that Alex was the one who brought down the Smith's Family. Though he didn't know much about the details, the little he knew made him shiver and it was as though he was going to pee in his pants."Come over." Alex waved his hands as he said."I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, I didn't know you were the one." The Manager immediately ran over as he greeted Alex.The expression of the onlookers changed as they watched the scene. Seems like a plot twist was about to happen. Even though the Manager was respectful to Alex, they could tell that he wouldn't be so crazy to the point where he would just give him the Fiery Ruby ring for free.It was impossible, if it had been that he
(Two months Later)In a flash, two months had passed, everyone was back at Atlanta. The Williams and Smiths had been sent to Prison.Alex had taken back everything and now everywhere was peaceful.At the moment, Alex's children played around the Villa happily, his parents watched over them with doting eyes coupled with the maids and others."We'll be going now." Alex smiled as he looked at Albert."Alright take care." Albert nodded as he looked at Alex and Tesla who were going out.Alex smiled as he walked out of the Villa with Tesla, getting out of the Villa, they entered the car and drove out. This time, it was Alex who was driving."Where are we headed?" Tesla sighed as he looked at Alex.She wondered why the latter had told her to get dressed and that he was going to take her out today."You'll see." Alex smiled as he stepped even harder on the accelerator of the car and it shot forward going faster than before.In no time, ten minutes passed, and Alex pulled up in front of a jewe
In no time, it was the day of the last court session. Alex had already returned home. No one knew about his return.At the moment, he was dressing as he looked at the mirror with a smile on his face."Let's go." He smiled turning to LucasIn a short thirty minutes, they had arrived at the court. Alex smiled as he refused to alight from the car. Lucas smiled as he alighted from the car and just stood beside it."Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry about your loss, I hope he rests in peace." A voice came promoting Alex to check who it was.Checking, Alex saw that it was Mr. Jenkins, his mouth couldn't help but twitch. What the hell, someone was already wishing him the rest in peace when he was not dead yet.Seemed like his father and Lucas had taken their role seriously. Well then, he couldn't blame them, they would have been suspected if they didn't take it seriously.Lucas couldn't help but smile upon hearing the lawyer's words, Alex had successfully fooled everyone, and he wondered how the lawyer w
"Aren't you supposed to be unable to move?" The assassin frowned as he looked at Alex who had stood up."That's a question you should ask Hades." Alex grinned and punched the assassin's abdomen, at the same time, he raised his good leg and kicked his groin.,The assassin couldn't care less about the pain in his body and still tried to escape, but it was too late, he was already surrounded by the men Jonathan brought along with him.They rushed out of the car as soon as they could immediately the car stopped. Nothing could happen to the Young Master."Alex!" Jonathan cried as he rushed towards Alex.Looking at the state Alex was, he could see that he was battered, and even his bones were broken.Thankfully, he had thought about this and had invited Dr. Nicholas, one of the best doctors in the city, to go with them. Besides, there was a lot of equipment that could be used to treat Alex inside the car."Mr. Jonathan, I'm afraid we'll have to rush the your to the hospital for proper treat
The assassin groaned in pain as he was not expecting Alex's move. But being a professional, he knew he couldn't allow the latter to gain the upper hand by picking up the gun, it would be game over.Immediately, he kicked the gun with all his strength sending it into the fire burning not far from them. His kick was quite powerful, and that was what ended up happening.Alex frowned seeing this, though he wasn't expecting this, he knew he could hold out until Jonathan and the others would arrive.Without a care in the world, he punched the assassin again, the latter groaned in pain as he moved back.But at the moment, the dirt in the assassin's eyes had already been cleared, now his eyesight had been restored."I didn't expect you to be this sharp." The man grinned as he pulled out a pocket knife.Alex frowned seeing this, he knew he couldn't allow the other party to touch him with the knife as he didn't know if it was poisoned or not."Well,. it's just as you've guessed, the knife is po
Watching the assassination Scene, Jonathan and him men frowned.They had to make sure that nothing went wrong with Alex. Though they were nearby, they couldn't attack until the last moment, they had to do something.Jonathan was the most unsettled amongst them, he shouldn't have allowed Alex to go, if anything happened to Alex, he was going to blame himself for all that had happened, he was never going to be able to forgive himself.Looking back at the screen, they watched as Alex hid in the backseat of the car while shivering.The assassin also stopped shooting after discovering that he couldn't see Alex again. Knowing well that the latter had hidden inside the car, he decided to wait for five minutes.As an assassin, he couldn't drag it out, the longer he dragged it out, the higher the risk of getting caught, and he couldn't risk getting caught, so he was going to have to find a way to lure Alex out.It was either he moved closer to the car, and killed him there, or he left the plac
(Two Days Later )Alex it's been two days, do you still think the Smiths family would come?" Jonathan frowned as he looked at Alex."Jonathan, you worry too much, I'm quite sure that they will come," Alex said confidently.But then, it had been two days, and yet they hadn't heard from them which freaked him out. Though he wasn't supposed to be worried, he couldn't help it. What Alex had proposed was just too dangerous.But then, there was nothing he could do about it, he could only listen to him, he had tried to persuade the latter but he was not yielding. Well, then he wasn't expecting him to yield anyway.Ring! Ring!Just then Alex's phone rang, it was Rebbeca who was calling him."Alex, how have you been?" Rebecca's voice came from the other end of the phone."I've been living well, do you want to give me a gift?" Alex asked.He was not surprised that she called him. She wanted hisjde anyway, so it was all just in the norms for her to call."Yeah, I would love to give you a gift, b
Jeffrey frowned as he received the call from the assassins. There was an unpleasant smile on his face at the moment.How the heck was Alex able to do all that he did. Well maybe it was because of the person he knew."But worry not, we know what we're going to do, we'll kill him tomorrow." The assassin said."How sure are you?" Jeffrey couldn't help but doubt them, he was already tired about the fact that they were unable to kill Alex."Don't worry this time, it's a hundred percent flawless plan." The assassin grinned.Then he proceeded to tell Jeffery what the plan was.Jeffrey froze hearing what the assassin said. He couldn't believe that they were able to come up with such a plan."We've already started working towards it." The assassin said."Tomorrow is the day he'll die." He concluded."That's very nice. Go and sleep your job." Alex was very delighted and thus commended them.Then after a while, the call ended and then everyone looked at him wanting to know what the assassin had
"Mmmmm."Alex muttered as his eyes fluttered open. A stinging pain ran through his brain as he tried to stand up."Jonathan!"Alex immediately became startled as he remembered what happened.Jonathan had injected him some medicine and he had slept off immediately after.This meant that he had gone to confront the men right after. All he hoped was that he was okay.He didn't want more than this, all he could do was just to pray that Jonathan and his men were fine, or he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something was to happen to them.But then he was sure that they were all safe and they would be safeRushing out of the room. Alex ran into Jonathan who looked at him with a smile."You're awake Alex." He smiled lightly.Alex nodded and didn't say anything."No one died right?" Alex asked after a while."Yeah, no one died." Jonathan nodded with a smile feeling touched in his heart.He was a bit touched with Alex's actions. The first thing he had done right after he woke up was to a
