Alex marched out of the office after signing the agreement and headed straight to the house. There was little to nothing that he could do concerning hastening the process; he was sure that he could get something else done.He entered the cab and they drove off to the office. Upon his arrival, he was met with employees already waiting in the lobby as they signed in and he merely walked in ignoring their very presence which made them a bit fidgety." Good morning sir." Joyce the receptionist spoke first, jolting the rest of the people out of their forgotten state and he simply ignored them, walked forward, and entered the lift. He was not here for greetings but rather that their jobs be done.The first place he went to was the kitchen. He saw that it had been emptied and he nodded. There was no way that someone would be allowed to bring in dirtiness and cause illnesses in the camp under his watch unless he was not present.He ignored them totally and walked towards the door, they still
It took all the restraint in Alex not to tell that man to fuck off and he knew that if he was pushed to the wall again he would actually do that.His door swung open and Martins walked in breathing heavily. His gaze was fixated on Alex who had a hard look on his face. He was late and he knew that was going to cause friction in their relationship because Alex had specifically instructed that no one came late. He didn't suffer defaulters."I'm sorry for arriving late. I woke up a bit late." Martins apologized.Alex's gaze traveled to his shoes and swept back to his face in thorough inspection. "So what do you say?" The kidnapper inquired, rolling his gun in front of Brielle who was shuddering at the blast of the wind. "You will also live by my conditions. You're not doing me any favor by maltreating her. What if I decide not to hand over what would you do?" He challenged. "You wouldn't dare do that. Do you want your beautiful wife to lose her life? I mean I knew that you were heartle
"Are you sure of this decision, Mr. Alex?" Mr. Gibbs, the partner said when he heard the words. They were hard to stomach. Alex stood in the middle of the boardroom and flicked on the projector. "I am not a comedian so I'm guessing that you know that I'm certain of my decision." He replied to them nonchalantly while adjusting his lapel and watching to see their expressions. He could bet that most of them thought that he was mad.A few gazes here and there but with a prominent silence. At one point, he was forced to ask. " So, why is everyone quiet?" He inquired and was met with stares that could freeze hell over. Sadly, he was not in their class. "If you have any suggestions kindly let me know or remain silent." He said, while his eyes roamed from the least to the greatest partner. He could have done it and not allowed a meeting or chance for them to speak but that would have been rude. As someone who wouldn't condone such an act from someone else, he sure wouldn't do it to others
The whole boardroom went silent as their gazes moved from one brother to the other wondering what was going on. " Good day everyone. I hear that you were having a meeting behind my back which I refuted. I'm sure that you were just too busy to send me a message. Liam said with a small smile on his face.Alex kissed his teeth as he heard the rubbish exited from Liam's mouth and sucked in a breath. " Welcome, Liam. Do well to help yourself to a seat." He replied. Liam chuckled devilishly before occupying the seat that Alex had previously occupied. He let out a small ah! As though he was just experiencing freedom. "I didn't think that I'd be here today." He said.The partners took a cursory glance at each other as they wondered what was going on between the brothers. The tension was palpable in the air and a knife could cut through it. "So, I guess we can begin then." Barrister Kate said, breaking the unusual silence.Liam let out a self-satisfied smirk as he watched Alex's grave expres
Brielle sighed him when she arrived at the house. Alex was waiting in front of the house and she sighed softly. She was happy to be free. Her eyes wandered toward Alex who crossed his arms at her return. She paused when she got to the porch. He hadn't even deemed it fit to come pick her up. " You must be tired, come in." He said and she raised a brow at his cold tone but was really too exhausted to complain. She didn't want to sound ungrateful one bit. He had transferred his rights because of her. Complaining was the last way to repay his deeds. She walked in first, grateful that at least he opened the door for her like a gentleman. " Thank you." She whispered and stared at the silence that hit her in the form of a cold brick wall. His gaze drifted to the heater, it was off. The house felt foreign to her and she was sure that it was because she was out for a few days."I made tea, you can drink it when you come out from the shower." Alex cut into her thoughts.Brielle swiveled and
Brock sauntered into the house as if he owned it and Brielle sighed. His presence would nevermind yield something reasonable. She hoped that he wasn't here to egg Alex on. Not that she thought that he couldn't defend himself or anything."What are you doing here?" She inquired from him.Meanwhile, Alex watched from the distance as he drank his cup of coffee slowly. He just hoped that this man wasn't here to constitute a nuisance like he was known for because it wouldn't be funny at all. Brock halted in his steps at the accusation. He would never have imagined that his sister would ask him such a question. " I'm here to see you, what does it look like I came to do?" He retorted.Brielle shrugged. "we know that you are here to cause problems. I don't want any issues." She sighed afterwards.Brock tilted his head in surprise at her tone and turned to the suspect. "He's teaching you to go against me? Is that what this is about?" Brielle rolled her eyes, "This is what I'm saying. Thanks
Alex saw the light flicked on when he returned and knew that something was wrong. Brielle never slept with the lights on. That meant that she had visitors over. He knocked on the door slowly and Amelia opened it. His face contorted into anger immediately. Why would she allow this stranger into his house? What was more annoying was the fact that she probably didn't think it would annoy him so he took a deep breath. "What are you doing here?" He inquired.Amelia, who was not expecting that question, tilted her head backward. "I came to visit my cousin who just escaped from the clutches of some kidnapper. I heard that you..." "Take your bag and get out of my house." Alex relished the look of horror that settled on her face at his command. She stared at him again, hoping to hear that it was an error. " What did you say?""Exactly what I said. Take your bag and leave my house. I don't want visitors." "But it's late!" She cried.Alex nodded, knowing that she'd want to use that as an ex
He stared at his ringing phone for a minute before answering it. It was from an unknown number and he checked it twice. His app that detected the names of callers was not working."Hello.""This is Nikki. Brielle gave me your number. Sorry for calling so late." Alex raised his brows at his wife making her stare at him in concern. "Did something happen?" She mouthed but he shook his head, she was still not pleased with the way he was staring at her as though she had committed some heinous crime. "Are you sure?" Realizing that he was keeping the person waiting on the other end of the call, he decided to speak. "Okay,""So, she briefed me about all the things that had happened earlier today. I don't know if you can schedule a meeting tomorrow by 8. am. I need to speak to you about some things." Nikki said."Who are you?" "A lawyer, I just wanted to be sure that this line was actually going through. She used her cousin's phone to call me earlier." Nikki explained.A stare at his belov
