"You want me to return to work. What for?" He inquired and Liam went stiff for a minute. "This isn't the best time to act all high and mighty when we both know that you need the job. How will you feed your family if you don't work?" Liam replied after gaining momentum. He was not in the mood to talk much.Alex stared at his brother who was fond of trying to make sure that he felt lesser than him. "I hope you understand what you are doing. Calling me to resume when you don't want me to. If that's not self-contradictory, then I don't know what it is." He replied.Liam shrugged softly. "Well, that's by the way. What I came here for is to make sure that you know that I'm serious.""I'll think about it."Liam scoffed, this was what he hated his brother for. The man was too proud for crying out loud. "It's one thing to be broke and another to be proud. when these characters combine, they don't always turn out right." He muttered.Alex turned, "Well, I've heard you. It's better than being r

Alex brought out the chair for his visitor which Rick smiled and patted the table."Thank you." He muttered and Alex nodded. "You're welcome.""So, what brings you here?" Alex inquired after a moment of silence, he knew that his friend had a reason for being there."Don't tell me that you just decided to come pay a visit to me because of my good-naturedness." He said.Rick chuckled, Alex would never change. He was always at alert and it made him wonder what made him this way. "Well, I was not happy that a lot of things were not going the way I expected so I decided to pay you a visit.""Oh, thanks.""Your wife is very beautiful." He commented and earned a glare from Alex. " Wait, I've changed, I'm not a womanizer anymore." He said.Alex really didn't care, " That's your business though. I don't care about that. So what are you doing now? I mean for business." He added for clarity.Rick shrugged softly, "I mean, I've just been here and there, it's almost as though I'm the only one tha

Brielle sighed before knocking on the door. It had been a long time since she had faced her family and thought of what they might say this time around. The room fell into a hush when they saw her and she felt as though the ground should open and swallow her. Their eyes dissected every part of her body and she was thankful that she wore a very good cloth. "Why is everyone staring at me as if someone died?" She inquired yet their gazes still magneted her. She was a bit weary about the meeting."Where is Grandma?" She inquired when they refused to move instead they were staring at her as though she had committed a heinous crime that nobody had done before making her a bit weary. "Why is everyone mute?" Grandma asked as she walked in and saw her granddaughter standing at the entrance of the house. "Come on in, you can't keep standing there. What is going on here?" As if controlled by a remote, Brock moved. "Welcome, Brielle, we thought that he'd never release you from your shackles."

"Can you see what they are doing in your very presence? How does this even make sense in the first place?" Brock complained but no one replied to him and Alex smiled softly. It wasn't everytime that one was required to fight for himself. Sometimes, it was just good to steer clear and see what was happening."Did you see their faces?" Brielle replied excitedly and they stared at each other."Did you see the way they were gobsmacked by my response? You are rubbing off on me and I'm not sure that I like it." She said with a smirk and he nodded "I would be worried if I didn't rub off on you. It's only normal that we take care of everything that needs to be done, without allowing anyone to intimidate you."Brielle stared at the man before her. "Where did you hide all of this charisma in the first place?" She inquired and he shrugged. If there was something that she had learnt about him,it was the art of silence. Even the woman who was his wife knew that he was unpredictable like the weat

"Good evening, Mr. Styles. I just got off the phone with Mr. Liam, he's summoning me for hearing. Are you aware of that?" She inquired and he clicked his tongue. "He was asking for the terms of change of ownership of a property." "But that's impossible without me right?" He inquired and she stilled. Then he knew that there was a problem already."I need an answer, Miss Kate!" He snapped."Well, according to...""Let me get this straight, did you or did you not allow that man to claim the money?""No, he didn't but he can contest for it because that's the purpose for that account and your Dad made the mistake of adding a clause beneath that if the company was in penury, they could claim it." She replied."Is there a time frame for this claim?""It can be claimed after three months."Alex shrugged. That made sense though. Now he would be able to rest for a minute and also bring up things that could be used as a means of contention. "I'll get back to you, thank you." He replied. There

Upon the breaking of the day, Alex was already on his way to the office. He wanted to shock his brother and make him know that he was back. Of course, Liam would never be expecting him that would make it worthwhile for him.When he reached the gate, a few members of staff were staring at him weirdly but he paid them no mind. He would rather that they were confused than say a word to them."Will you open the gate or stand there staring at me like an alien?" He fired at the gate man who quickly adjusted himself and rushed to open up. "Good morning, sir." "Save your greetings." He replied and walked into the compound. Others might not know why he was here but he was here to check for the files that Liam had in possession. The only way that one could get information from Liam without stressing oneself. He strode right into the building and headed straight to his former office. When he arrived, there he just rested and made sure that he searched through all the drawers. He found nothing

Thirty minutes later after discussing with the lawyer he returned to the office.. he was at alert right now because of the previous encounter he just had. It was scary enough to send anyone running. He saw his brother in his office, sitting on the chair with his legs placed on the table. His eyes couldn't help but spot the dirty shoes and he wanted to wipe those legs away but he didn't want his brother to get under his skin."I didn't know you were around today. It's not easy for you to be indoors throughout. You might begin to lose weight or something worse might happen to you. Why didn't you come to me earlier?" He replied.Alex stared at him in annoyance but didn't utter a word.Liam's eyes raked over Alex's figure. "Why do you look troubled?" "I don't think it's appropriate for the CEO to have so much time on his hands to come chat with his member of staff. It's bewildering." He replied and shut the door quietly. It was obvious that Liam was just egging him on and as someone who

Alex stared at his brother with intensity and knew that he wasn't kidding. For Liam to be so bold in doing something meant that he had gotten his plans ready and was certain that they'd materialize. This made him a bit skeptical."Hmm, my money can only be withdrawn after three months of being unclaimed." Liam's lips tilted into a smirk as he stared at his brother, this time he was a step ahead or so he thought, "Oh, is that what you were told?" Alex refused to show any expression, so he cocked his head, "Do you think that you can do all of these without getting my approval? I mean you must be joking right? There's no way that you will get that money without my consent," Liam threw his head back and laughed heartily while staring at his brother who didn't realize that he was being scammed. " Oh, man you make me laugh, and it's good. I like it. Do you really think that I came here to joke with you? You aren't the only one with genius brains, like I told you earlier. I'm ready for yo
