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
Brielle's heart broke when she saw Alex in the cell. "I know that you were wrongly accused." She began and he shrugged. Now this wasn't the time that he would show his masculinity and not admit to being as afraid as she was. She didn't know how long this case was going to span and she didn't want to give birth without seeing him. Various threatening images filled her mind as she stared at him but all in all, she would not want that to happen."You look tired. Have they been stressing you out? I could call a lawyer to help out with this case. I am... I was perplexed when my mother dropped this bombshell. this doesn't even make any sense. I mean, it's obvious that you're innocent of the crime, right? I don't feel like..." She sighed and broke down as tears leaked from her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to be crying this hard but why wouldn't I? We all know that this is an agenda." She wiped her tears away angrily and opened her eyes before running a hand over them. "I'm sorry for
Martins rested his hand against the desk that Alex formerly occupied. This was not good for business. He was trying as hard as he could to debunk the rumor that the young master was in jail but he was having a hard time doing that. This was almost as if he was jumping from fire into Hades. His phone rang and he already had an inkling as to who might be calling. When he stared at the face of the screen he sighed. It was Brielle. She had been worried sick and was pleading with him to make sure that her husband didn't stay so long in prison.She didn't understand that it wasn't that easy to stop news that had spread across borders. There was only one person who could pardon Alex and withdraw the case but he was in a coma and that was not all, Brock had managed to vote his mother out of the board so this was a proper mess. "Hello, ma'am." "Call me Brielle," Brielle answered. She was feeling very stressed and he didn't reach out to her anymore making her feel worried. "What is the lates
