"Alex, can you please get the door?!" Brielle yelled from the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. She was practicing some new recipes that she just learned from YouTube. Alex had teased her about cooking a storm. He said that the child might come out holding a spoon which made her laugh. She poked her head out of the kitchen door so that she could see what was actually happening. There was an unusual silence.Color her surprised when she saw their enemy standing across the threshold. no wonder Alex was not talking. Liam saw her over Alex's head and grinned, making sure to wave at her too, causing her to roll her eyes. "what do you mean by that? If you want me to stay away from you at least let me greet the woman who is carrying my niece or nephew." He grinned widely again."You don't have any right to, so tell me why you should be allowed in." Liam rolled his eyes and raised his hands in surrender. "I didn't come here to fight, that's the least thing on my mind. I have heard
"So, do you like it?" Liam drawled, causing Alex to roll his eyes. It was very bold and preposterous for Liam to think that he had done them a favor that only they could appreciate. It was total trash and stupidity at its peak."We didn't ask for it so tell your cameramen around to be careful and take their equipment away," Alex responded and walked inside, locking the door after him.Liam stared at the camera. "he's just overwhelmed, my brother doesn't like public display of properties. He'd rather be pleased with whatever he has and drive them wherever he wanted than let you televise his life." Liam made a cut sign and they ended the video coverage. Well, whether Alex accepted the gift or not, he had made his acts publicized and made sure that he had gotten a very good name and image. That was his goal all along. He didn't stop there, he made a video when he arrived at his office. "I know what the blogs might have tried to portray but I think I have to be the most open than I've
Liam was in his office when he received a call from a strange number. He shut it down because he was so busy replying to many emails that he had been too lazy to answer all these while. There was a bit of pressure from the other people for him to be like Alex but since he made that public donation, it had reduced drastically. "Sir, you're not going to help us with getting rid of this information that's circulating on the net. According to them, you're not always present at work and you're only doing this to win people's favor." His new secretary, Kim spoke while staring at her tab. Liam was pissed. These people didn't give him breathing space. It was always him on the bad side of the news and he was thinking about how to be free from all this mess. It's getting too much and there was nothing that we could do except for staying away from the media. "Why are you telling me this now? I thought I told you that I don't want to have anything to do with the wrong news anymore. What would
Liam drove to LaVana Hotel simply because of two reasons, firstly, so that he didn't miss an opportunity that might come in a broken package. Secondly, so that he had a reason to justify his actions that Brock wasn't worth it at all. "Now, you're pissing the hell out of me." He muttered when he arrived at the reception and was met with an empty place. Was it rented out for someone else today? If it was, why didn't Brock confirm thoroughly before going ahead to invite him to waste his time? This was one of the major problems he had with Brock. That man never thought anything through, he just woke up and made decisions that ruined him. It was glaring that there was no way that they could get together and plan for certain things because Mr. Brock was a lousy planner, he would only prefer others to do it for him so that he could take the glory and right now, he was also looking to relax. He glanced at his watch. It was five minutes from their agreed time. Where the hell was Brock
Alex woke up the next morning and saw that Brielle was writhing in pain silently. "Hey, what's the problem?" He asked her gently. Brielle turned. She was waiting till it was morning, most especially she didn't want to disturb him at all. "I don't know what is happening, I was just feeling a bit of pangs in my side." "Okay, we have to go.""It's nothing serious."He glanced at her and picked her up immediately. "Are you kidding me?" He was rarely scared but he didn't want anything to happen to her. "Tell me, why I shouldn't worry after everything that has happened." "It'll go down. I'll soon be fine." "Is there any reason you're avoiding going to the hospital?" "Not really." "We're going, no matter what you say." She didn't say a word only lay limply as they walked together out of the house. "Just get me that shawl please." "Okay,"He placed her gently into the car and quickly reached into the house. "I don't know what you sent me to do." "You don't know what a shawl is."
A few hours later. Alex tapped his foot on the ground impatiently as he waited to hear the results from Nikki, she had suggested that they meet up at a place close to the hospital so that he wasn't far from Brielle. He anticipated what she wanted to say and truly hoped that she wouldn't just call him to waste his time. "Are you kidding me right now? You called me to meet you somewhere but somehow, you managed not to be available. Is that even right?" He demanded from Nikki immediately after he saw her walking toward him. He was beyond pissed. "I'm so sorry about that," Nikki spoke effusively. She had been held up in traffic because her driver had told her that that place was a shortcut not knowing that it was even a maze, threatening to swallow everyone that set their foot in there. It was a very great disaster and she was also sorry for that. "I'm sorry I was held up in traffic." Whe
Brielle was startled when the hospital door opened and she looked up from the bed. Her mother wore a very distressed countenance causing her to be a bit worried. "What is going on? What happened to Dad?" "Nothing..." Her mother trailed off. Brielle wasn't convinced with the way she was acting because she knew that her mother was a poor actress. Something was definitely wrong somewhere that she was trying to cover which was making Brielle very inquisitive. "What is the problem, mom?" She prodded, not wanting to add any stress to the one that she was already feeling. If she knew that she had something to say then she better say it and get it off her chest. "I don't think you would want to hear this." Brielle rolled her eyes. Her mother wasn't even doing her any good by not telling her what was happening because she was feeling very scared. It wasn't as if there was something that was wrong somewhere. "I don't t
Alex was not moved when he heard the news that he had stolen the company's money. This was utterly untrue but he couldn't deny that this was his brother's handiwork and he wasn't going to lament about anything instead he was going to make sure that he found his way out of this mess. "So, you are a thief, with all the access you have to your brother's company, you still decided to steal from your in-laws, how shameless can you be?" One of the policemen said. He stared at him. He was obviously bribed. The only reason he blamed himself was the fact that he wasn't vigilant enough to see through the plans. That was why Brock had been walking about with his head held high and secondly, that was why Liam came to gift them that car and that house. He was trying to buy favor from the people so that when he struck no one would have any choice but to believe. He stared at the man again, marking his face. "I see that you've been bribed. If you are not careful, you will lose your job and I mean
