The Rightful Successor Chapter 22
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

"Please take a seat." Nikki motioned to the chairs opposite hers without saying a word and observed the couple. It had been a long time since she had seen her friend but seeing him looking all loved up was a good change from how she was before. "Sorry for keeping you waiting." "It's fine, Miss Nikki." "There's no problem." Alex and Brielle chorused respectively and she nodded swiftly. It wasn't easy though because she knew that first still mattered."Alright, now that that's out of the way. Let's get down into business. Have you spoken to a lawyer before?" Nikki directed the question at Alex, she needed to know what exactly they needed from her. "I can't continue an unfinished case." "No, I've not." Alex lied because he didn't want to put all his eggs in a basket. He knew that Kate would pull some strings, moreover one needed to be a step ahead of the opposition. What if Liam bought her over? They'd lose everything. So it was better that way.Nikki gave him a deep stare. She had

Upon returning home, he removed his coat at the door and Brielle collected his coat from him. He was brooding seriously and she was wondering what was the cause. Alex headed straight into the room and sat on the bed for a minute trying to understand what was going on for a minute. His countenance was a bit sour as he scrolled through his phone and watched the way his brother was going about gallivanting and spending his money lavishly.The blogs had circulated the news that he just purchased a house in the heart of town and he felt annoyance deep down in his bones. if there was a way that he could slap this man he would but that would put him at a disadvantage.The ding of the doorbell alerted them that someone was present and Brielle went to answer the door. Martins adjusted his coat when he saw Brielle. He hadn't still been able to get past the fact that Alex went ahead to release her. He understood what love was but this was just a bit too hard for him because it defied everythin

Alex decided to pay a visit to the company after two weeks. Upon his arrival, he was greeted with cheers from the employees. A few were cheerful while others, a bit angry that he had returned, thinking that he had come to reclaim the ownership because according to them, he was making life difficult for them. Indifferent to their reactions, he headed straight to the CEO office. He had waited for Martins to be called back to work but his brother had been proving to be stubborn. He didn't wait to be called in before knocking. He was surprised to see Joyce the receptionist on Liam's lap kissing passionately. So, this was what he was doing, how would the company grow in the first place. Joyce attempted to jump out of Liam's laps but he held her down. "What a surprise to see you dear brother." He said.Alex crossed his arms staring at Joyce with a withering glare that she had no choice but to pick up her files and flee away."Good riddance. It's a wonder why the company is almost going b

Liam was pissed at his brother seeing as though he had won in life. It was funny as hell because he was a million times richer than Alex but didn't like the way he acted as though he was better than him. It made him very annoyed."What bothers you so much?" Brock inquired when he saw Liam tapping his foot impatiently against the ground. It made him a bit worried about what was happening."That stupid boy acts as though he's better than me. The worst thing is that a few members of my staff share that sentiment. "Isn't that foolishness?" Brock placed a finger underneath his chin and shrugged. " Well, I really don't know what you want me to say because this doesn't sound like an easy case. I mean, what can we say to all of these? That man is grating on everyone's nerves." "So, what are you about to do right now?" Liam shrugged, "That's the problem. I have stayed awake throughout the night just to make sure that I find something tangible against but guess what? "What?""I wasn't abl
