"Mmmmmm," Alex muttered as he opened his eyes slowly while rolling on the big bed.The days of sunlight from the window entered his eyes and the next moment he sat up almost immediately and immediately picked up the watch by the side of his bed."Shit!" Alex frowned as he looked at the time.It was noon already, how the heck had he slept so late? There were a lot of things to do and yet he was sleeping as though there was nothing to do.There were still some files he had to sort out at the office and some other information too he had to arrange.Also, he was supposed to take his children to school, thankfully last night, they were all sleeping soundly and didn't wake up despite all that happened.Though he was quite sure that John would have done that for him, he was still feeling a little bit down.But what had been done was already done, since John had taken care of some of his pending issues, he was just going to go ahead and do the others.Thinking about this, Alex pushed all other
Still feeling the agonizing pain from his injury Alex dragged himself to the bathroom, he had this urge to get rid of the pain as fast as he could as it was feeling agonizing already, he opened the drawer and after a while got exactly what he had been looking for He stared at the almost empty bottle that had the inscription “Aspirin” on it, as luck would have it, there were two pills left.Alex walked out after swallowing.“Where In the hell is John? It has been over an hour already."From how rotten the injury was starting to look, it was starting to look like it was infected, the fact remained that he would do anything to get rid of the sickling feeling it was starting to give him.He took out his phone and dialed John but again it wasn't picked.“Pick up your fucking phone, damn!"He threw the phone again on the bed feeling irritated.The pain persisted and he took a seat to stop it from aggravating. The idea of not moving seemed like a very good idea as the pain starts to recede.
“Mr. Wayne. Good to see you too.""I wasn't expecting you… how is this?" Filled with that same thrill he ran his hands through his hair.“Are you still sleepy? I can go out and wait." She suggested but he wasn't having any of that.“No I am just surprised that is all you can stay."John walks into the room. “Is there anything I can get for you?"She was going to turn down the offer but he beat her to it. “Wine is absolutely fine." Alex stated, he knew he shouldn't be drinking not in this state but Something, a wild nerve was racing through his Blood Stream at that moment, feeling him with more adrenaline. She had a smile on her face that was quite infectious and gave away a hint that she was excited and thrilled at the fact that she was right there at that moment.The Doctor was right, he felt strangely better as he struggled to sit though there was still that hint that he was going through a lot of pain…Tesla, who had just spoken could feel for him and attempted to help him sit but
Alex was finally back to his feet. Even as John tried to convince him to stay an extra day off, he refused to take a break. He felt doing so would make Dominic see him as a loser. However, all thanks to Tesla who was there for him when he needed her the most. Her presence spoke a lot to him, her care was a balm to his wound. She was just a friend to him, but yesterday, she stood more than a friend, and that was just enough for him.John drove Alex to the office, he wanted to be sure of his safety. He had tried his best to change Alex's mind towards working for the day, but Alex wouldn't listen to him.On reaching the office, Alex didn't wait for him to open the door, he stepped out, adjusting his tie and suit jacket before making his way into the building."Ask Mia to order my favorite coffee, I need something hot this morning." He told John as they stepped out of the elevator.John took a different direction as he headed for Mia's office. Mia on the other hand, was with a friend of
Ring! Ring!Alex's phone rang once again making the latter frown as he wondered who was calling him as he wasn't expecting any call at the moment.Picking up his phone, Alex saw it was John making him frown as he wondered why he was calling as they just had a call a few minutes ago. Or could it be that something else had happened.After thinking for a while, Alex picked up his phone while still wondering why John was calling him since it was not long since he talked to the latter."Young Master, you have a visitor." John's worried voice came from the other end of the phone."A visitor?" Alex frowned as he wasn't expecting any visitors."Yeah young Master." John replied from the other end of the phone."And who's it?" Alex asked."It's Dominic." John replied after a while as it was clear that the latter was hesitating and didn't want to tell Alex who it was."Dominic?" Alex frowned as he muttered under his breath, his eyes flashing with a glint."Yes young master," John confirmed, "Sho
"Young Master, what did Dominic say to you?" John asked as he walked into the office."Hehehehe." Alex chuckled as he turned around to look at John."Young Master, what's wrong, why are you laughing?" John frowned."Everything is fine." Alex smiled as he looked at John."But I think my previous plan won't work, we'll have to attack." Alex continued as he walked back to his chair."Why?" John asked, looking confused at his sudden change of mind."That's because the main character has decided to continue to be the main character and won't stop attacking the villain." Alex burst out into a cackle as he said..."I don't understand, young master?" John frowned, looking confused."Well, Dominic came and simply told me he was the one who attacked me and was going to continue with his attack until I met Hades," Alex replied."Huh?"John froze hearing Alex's words as he couldn't believe his ears. What the hell was that idiot thinking? He had the guts to say that to the young master's face.Was
A Week Later..."So you mean to say that Alex hasn't launched his attack yet?" Dominic frowned as he looked at Jeremiah."Yes young master, Alex hasn't done anything, he's just all silent, we have no idea what he is planning." Jeremiah nodded, confirming Dominic's words."Then what the fuck is he waiting for?" Dominic growled as his anger boiled.It had been a week since he had gone to visit Alex to inform him that he was going to attack him. He was quite confident that Alex wasn't going to let him attack once again and would launch his attack.Then he was in a high state of defense, ready to strike back as long as the latter attacked, but then it turned out that he had been thinking too much.Apart from the fact that Alex made it look like he was going to attack which made him anticipate it, he didn't do anything. It was as though he had suddenly lost interest.He had been waiting since then, expecting Alex to attack, but it was as though the latter had disappeared. This made Dominic
(A Week Later)"Young Master, Dominic has yet to attack, do you think he is planning anything sinister?" John asked as he walked into the sitting room where Alex was."Nope, he's not planning anything, he has just given up on attacking and is thinking of new strategies," Alex replied with a smile as he watched the TV.It had been a week since the incident, during that week, he had gone to the capital to do something and there he had discovered how powerful his family was in the past.At the moment, he had no desire to continue to fight with Dominic and the only thing he wanted was to bring back his family's lost glory. Besides, what he saw at the capital made him very inquisitive and he wanted to know what had happened to his parents in the past.He wanted to know, but then he had to take things slowly. Even though he was sure that it was Williams who had killed his parents, he still wanted to know more.Besides, he would need evidence if he wanted to make it murder and sue them for t
