A small smile appeared on Alex's face and for the first time in a long while he experienced deep-seated satisfaction. This was what it meant to be very satisfied. He wasn't feeling any pressure to do anything other than just take his wife home. He remembered one of the days when Brielle had complained about a headache which he thought that she had gone to the hospital for.He was beaming like a Cheshire cat that caught the canary and he was not ashamed to even show it. " How far gone is she?" "She's three months gone." Alex did a quick math to the period she was free from the clutches of the kidnappers. Nothing else mattered to Alex. He finally had an heir , someone that would take over from him."Thank you for this information, so what are the next things that we need to know and do." He replied. He was a believer in something that something was meant to be and one didn't prepare for it, one might end up losing it. "Oh, she'd begin her antenatal and we'll tell you more as the preg
The whole clan was happy with the latest development except for one person who felt like there was a great problem.Grandma was very elated. Finally Brielle has made her see her third generation. Party was thrown in Brielle's family house despite knowing that Alex didn't want them to be together no matter what happened. Brock on the other hand was as salty as he could but no one paid him mind. There was no need for him to be unhappy. "Are you that heartless that you're not happy for your sister, is that what this is?" Richard demanded from his son. His behavior was unacceptable and guests were beginning to ask questions. He was so good at bringing drama to the family which didn't make sense seeing he wasn't better himself. "I am happy for her. It doesn't mean that I should go into full circus mode. I see that you guys are really happy. I guess all my efforts for this family are finally going to go down the drain and no one is even remorseful about it. Is that what I get for making
Meanwhile, Alex was ready with all his might to make sure that Brielle didn't lack anything because if she did, it could cause him problems. There was a limit to what he could take without looking like life had walked through him, done him dirty and finally decided that it was going to destroy him. Brielle coughed slightly and Alex was swift to rush to her side to try to know what was happening with her. If that was the least that he could do, he had to make sure that she was well and that nothing was wrong with her fundamentally. "Do you need to see a doctor seeing that you're coughing this badly?" He inquired. Brielle only mustered a smile and shook her head. "If I knew that you'd be so caring toward me, tell me why I didn't go ahead all these while and get pregnant?" Alex didn't find that statement funny because it showed that something had been lacking between them. It wasn't the best way one should live life if one wanted to be honest. "I don't think I'm pleased with that.
"Lock him up, he's going crazy!" Richard ordered the cops to ignore the glares and protest from Brock. It wasn't news that there was a problem. He wasn't feeling too well but he wouldn't allow anyone who could turn out to be a potential killer to destroy his life. "Don't touch me. I'll sue you if you do so!" Brock yelled but the officers didn't mind him. "I know my right and I would make sure that I tarnish your image." Richard signaled to them to carry on with their jobs. "If you don't cooperate with us willingly. Then I won't be responsible for any action that I take."the lead officer threatened. "You are just bullies and I'm here to make sure that you won't enjoy your life. I'll find you and sue you. You have no right to rough handle me." Brock complained. As he was about to say the next word, he found himself on the officer's shoulder. This was unacceptable by all standards. "Lock him up till he's sane enou
Brock looked up from the room that he was being locked up. It wasn't an easy feat at the end of the day, he was being stopped from contacting anyone. He had thought that it would never be possible but he had shown that it could actually be.The room was without ventilation and all that he could think of was the fact that he was going to be in the mess for so long. This was something that he had never imagined in his life. It was a stupid reason for him to be taken.He was legit scared when they were speaking about him being locked up and he was trying to understand that there was a problem which he shoots and tried to get to the bottom immediately but what did he do? He didn't do anything tangible except make sure that there wasn't something else holding him back though."Rise from your shame... Now this would teach you that you don't behave to your parents nor people anyhow you please." A deep voice called from outside making him even shake his head.This was a great humiliation. The
Alex, who had received a call from Kate sighed "Is there a need for me to be present?" He inquired because he didn't understand why she had been calling for a few days. When he responded, she had said that she would reach out to him again but ended up not doing so."Yes, you do. Your brother has been pestering me for information and asking that I represent him."Alex rubbed a hand over his face. He was having a business meeting with his new partners and didn't want to be interrupted one bit. "What do you intend to do?" He inquired and she shrugged."I really don't know yet. I want you to come in when he's speaking and confronting him. I don't want to be involved in a lawsuit. I have other things to do with my time, also, I want you to see him, he's been acting up." She replied.Alex was wondering what was happening. "I won't be present for his shenanigans. I thought that we were to have a concrete discussion about moving up our plans. I've been busy doesn't mean that I've forgotten a
Nothing else was as disturbing as seeing that one's counterpart was doing well when one wasn't and that was the state of dilemma Liam was plunged into when all of a sudden Roycorp pulled out of their deal with him and began to give him flimsy excuses in return.He knew where the real problem lay and was pissed because that meant that he had wasted a greater part of his life and all that mattered right now was the fact that his brother was slowly winning.This wasn't what he expected. As usual, a knock on the door usually sent him mad because why the hell were they disturbing his peace? His brother would surely think that he was better than him now and he would always be stuck with the burden of proving himself. "Sir...you have a visitor." His secretary called from outside and he finally looked around to see what was happening. There was surely a problem somewhere and he didn't understand what to do about it. Why was there someone somewhere trying to see h
Three Months Later,Brock recoiled when the sun's rays struck him hard. He wasn't expecting that he would be hit by their malevolent touch. It didn't help that he had been indoors for the greater part of the month.Days stretched in months that sometimes he lost hope that he would ever come out of this correctional facility which was akin to a hellhole.His mother stood at the end of the carpark, ashamed that she had to come to pick up her son like a juvenile caught in delinquency. She would never understand what went through that boy's mind that made him act unseemly. Other people would be afraid that they would be caught for wrongdoing but nope not her son.Over the last months that Brock had been in that facility, she enjoyed total peace, not having to look over her shoulder for any reason while she was trying to tell the whole world that her child was not detained, instead, he traveled. A lot of news had circulated, thanks to her niece, Amelia who made it her life's mission to sp
