The Rightful Successor Chapter 50
Alex put his car to a top in the office's parking space and yawned before even opening the door. He already felt tired going to work today but he was familiar with that silly feeling of initial lethargy. The moment he stepped out of his car he already began to feel alive. He closed his car's door and locked it behind him before walking down to his office. He walked into the office and just greeted everyone as he walked down the hall. The office seemed lively today as everyone greeted him happily and they were all going on about their work with immense speed. He greeted everyone with a wide smile.At last he reached his office room, he clicked it open and sat down relaxing his body before beginning the work for the day. He flipped open his computer system and then he heard a knock on his door. “Come in,” he said. The door clicked open and Martins walked in and heard towards him with a sense of urgency and excitement in his face. “Good morning s

He watched as she placed a tiny brush on her eyelashes and straightened it one after the other. He was already fed up with all this and he knew if he left she probably would start an argument. She had funny ways of acting sometimes. “Brielle,” he called. “We need to leave soon, I already reserved seats for us but if we don't show up an hour after the time we booked they have the right to resell our seats,” he advised calmly. She turned around and smiled. “I am done,” she said.“Oh great, so let's go,” he said eagerly, lifting himself from the chair he'd been confined to. “No,” she said. “I just finished with the first eye, I can't leave the second one like that.”Alex stared at his wife for a while and then exhaled. “Yeah meet me in the car,” he said and then walked out of the room sighing. He could hear her chuckling behind him. Before he reached downstairs she was behind him laughing hard. “You have the patience of

Alex was on his way to meet Nikki at her lawyering firm to emphasize on how happy he was at the recent outcomes.He sees her sitting at her desk and barges into her office in a happy pose.“Nikki… I'm happy and grateful about everything that's going on, I can't thank you enough.” Alex says and Nikki smiles at him.“Is that so?” Nikki utters leaving the work on her desk to focus on what Alex was saying “My brother is even trying to get close to me now.” He says and Nikki looks at him reluctantly.“Really?” She didn't know why but she just couldn't believe that. “Are you sure he isn't just feigning it?” Nikki asked.“Yes, I know, quite possibly he is.” Alex thought to himself as he was lured into his own thoughts.The next Friday, on a dark evening, exactly by 4:00 pm…Alex and Nikki meet up at a bar, Alex and her begin to chatter away about different events and what not.Suddenly, Nikki's countenance changes and Alex notices in an instance.“What is it Nikki?” He asked, feeling a bit

Alex slowly lifts himself up on his office chair on hearing the sound of loud cheers from outside.He hears them clapping and shouting out and wonders what it was that was going on.He slowly got up and made his way downstairs to the front door only for him to creak the door open and see Liam and his co-workers before him.“Surprise…Happy birthday!!!” They all shout in unism leaving Alex stunned.What were they doing? He asked inwardly in skepticism, it was way too early for any of this, he didn't even get the chance to recall that it was his birthday.Was something wrong with all of them? Alex pinched the space between his eyebrows in annoyance.A better question was, why was his brother and his crew here to start with?“Sing him a happy birthday song.” Liam announces to his team as he chuckles happily.Alex didn't know what his brother was up to this time, but he wasn't getting a good feeling about it at all.He knew very well that his brother was just feigning this sudden closene

Alex was pissed by the news he heard but decided to keep his cool. Brielle was probably trying to pass him a message that he'd not understand if he didn't keep calm. "Oh, she is? Extend my greetings." He replied sarcastically Nikki was shocked by the way Alex answered. One would think that he'd have made it obvious that she made a move on him but he was mature enough about it. Her friend had truly won a jackpot. She concluded.Brielle chuckled, "but can you come home a bit early tonight. I have good news for you." She replied.Alex thought that it had a double meaning. "Will do. Have a nice day." He replied and hung up immediately. He was pissed with that lady in his house. What he didn't tell Brielle was the fact that Nikki was telling him that she was better than Brielle and had more influence to help him achieve his aim.He was wiser than her though. Although she was his wife's friend, he'd use her till he needed her no more. "You have become very close to your husband, that's gr

Alex saw that a car was following them from the mirror and told the driver that he wanted to alight. "Can I have your number please? I need to get someone whose number I can call after I'm done with the bathroom stuff."The driver nodded happily and scribbled down his number on a piece of paper, handed it over to him and went to relax immediately after Alex alighted from the car. Alex adjusted his shades. It wasn't too late for him to find out that something was really up.He watched from the back of the store as a car also pulled over in front of the car that brought him there and he smiled. He knew that he was always right with his assumptions and suspicions. The only person that his mind went to was none other than his brother. So, Liam had sent someone after him. He pulled out his phone immediately and dialed the number that the man had given him and the man picked up instantly. "Hello, sir. Are you returning soon sir?" The driver replied and he shook his head. "No, don't spea

Martins was stunned when the person continued trying the lock. "I think he's going to come in. This is still broad daylight. What if he can't open the door and goes to ask that people help him out with it? What will happen if I'm caught here? I'll automatically lose my job!" He whisper-yelled and Alex sighed.This was what one got when they sent a weakling on an errand. " Why don't you take a deep breath first and let's see what will happen. He can't enter. He would take a while to get someone to break down the door. Just make sure that when he leaves, you seize that opportunity to escape. That's what you'll do.""Only that you must leave with those papers. You can hide them under your shirt, I think that's better even." Alex instructed."Good, then. I'll do just that." Martins replied confidently at Alex's instructions. There was something about his voice that suddenly made him calm. The lock stopped being disturbed and he sighed. He inched closer to the door and immediately opened

Alex's phone rang and he picked it up instantly. " Hello, Alex speaking, what can I do for you?" He asked, pretending not to know what was happening.The man signaled to the man not to say anything because it would make Alex suspicious. " Oh, nothing much, sir. I was just wondering where you are. I've not seen you since you left. It's almost an hour now. I hope there's no problem?" The phone was on loudspeaker so that the man would believe them. " Oh? I forgot to tell you brother, I went out with a friend. We are in a nearby restaurant. Are you tired of waiting? I rented you for the day."The man exchanged a meaningful glance with the detective, as if asking him if he could see what was happening. "I'm sorry it's not like that sir. I was just a bit worried about not seeing you. I thought something had happened. I can now rest now that I know that you're fine, sir. " The detective shook his head as he quickly corrected himself. " I'm sorry,
