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
Liam and Brock sipped from their glasses of wine as they shared laughter when they watched the news. "your brother must be in a great dilemma. He's finished, it's over for him." Brock commented as the news ended. Liam shrugged, "He should save himself with his brains after all, that's what people do when they are stuck in unpleasant situations, isn't it?" Brock shook his head at the conniving Liam. He was also scared of him. "You don't feel any remorse seeing your brother in that state and his image tarnished?" Liam shrugged carelessly" I don't care about him. I told him that he shouldn't dare me and he did. Moreover, " he took another sip while glaring at Brock, "weren't you the one who suggested the idea? Why the sudden change in attitude? Are you suddenly feeling remorseful?"Brock grinned, neither affirming nor denying. "You don't strike me as someone who would repent. You would burn in hell till there's no more fire, so you
I will not be happy if I discover that you don't possess all the characteristics that I want in a woman." Brock told his lady interest who was a bit tired of entertaining this stranger who had been yapping about his achievement since they began the date. It was annoying and at the same time pissing her the hell off This was a legit reason for her to turn him down but what would she do? She had to collect her share of the money that he had gotten through ill means. "I see that you don't care about whatever people say and I don't know if I find that refreshing or a bit scary," Elena responded.Brock stared at the lady before him. She was the epitome of beauty and he was gunning to make her his wife not for any other purpose except the fact that she looked very good, and looked like she could manage a business and a home at the same time. She was good for his public image. He broke into a small smile. "I know that you're probably bored of me. Isn't that right?"She shrugged because sh
Brielle watched the news with a sad face. A lot was going on that she didn't have the time or energy to debunk. Despite being invited to various interviews, she managed to avoid it. There was no need for her to wail about what she could just move away from. She didn't want to chase clout either because from what she had seen, it was obvious that there was something greater here at play. Thus, requiring her to be very careful. "I am tired of how these people try to paint a bad image of you. It certainly doesn't make any sense. I mean, he's not the first neither would he be the last fellow to undergo such accusations. Why are they amplifying it?" Nikki muttered close to her friend.Brielle refused to say a word because she knew that it might be a trap, there was no way in hell that an insider wasn't involved. It was just so much, that she thought about how to evade everyone since they were all potential suspects. "I guess we don't have any control over the media. They can do whateve
