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,

By the time Alex got home that night, he was exhausted. Brielle noticed his countenance and decided to move closer to him. He had not told her where he was going to, so she was a bit confused by his current state. But as someone who wasn't ready to know all the nitty gritty. At least not nwo, she ran a bath for him. They could discuss this layer and find out what actually happened. He stared at her concerned face mixed with a bit of curiosity that she was trying so hard to mask. "I know you want to ask me something. What is it?" He asked her, making it easier. Brielle sighed and laid out his pajamas."Oh, it's nothing. I'm just trying to be reasonable. it's probably not the best time to begin to harass you for information. I mean what am I even saying? It's definitely not the best time to seek it. you'll tell me when you're ready, I believe that so..."Alex took a cursory glance at her. She was lovely and she was acting really mature making the stress worth it. " Well, I discovere

The next few days, there was tension in the Styles clan and it affected Alex too much. He was cranky at the office and was almost shouting at everyone save that he didn't want to show that he was under pressure somewhere.There was a knock on his door and he barked, " Come in!" The young secretary walked in with her hands wrung warily behind her back in fear of what he might do to her. "Why are you standing there? Drop your message and leave, why are you still staring at me like that?""Oh, I'm sorry about that, I was just thinking about something right now and I realized that I didn't actually know how best to put it so that I didn't disturb you." Alex was already pissed by her stalling. It was very annoying that she was wringing her hands as though she was a kindergarten pupil. " Do you have anything to say or not? Kindly leave my office." Liam sauntered into the office with a large smile on his face and he glared at the girl who was acting like an imbecile. "How did the HR faci

Brielle was busy laughing at Sean's presence. He was making sure that she had a good time. " I wouldn't have believed that you would come out to see me. I could have sworn that your husband would be here with us. I don't mean to disrespect you though. But you understand what I mean right?" "No,I don't. I can see what you're doing. Brock has obviously told you stuff about me though hence the reason for your words. But it's all good though. So how are you doing?" She changed the topic.She was going to shut down any form of disrespect towards her husband even though they weren't on the best terms at the moment. " You returned and didn't deem it fit to make a proper contact with me, huh?" Sean shook his head before tipping his heart in a bid of apologizing. "Oh, I didn't know that you would want to see me, you know with everything on ground. That was why I stayed away but I won't do that anymore. I've been good though, the company has been booming. I can't imagine that both of us aren'

Upon Brielle's arrival at home, she was greeted with silence, telling her that Alex had not returned from the club. Well, where could he have gone? She didn't want to call him because it might be interpreted as guilt. She would rather that he returned and they talked things out like adults.On cue, she heard the fondling of keys and quickly went to unlock the door from behind. " Hey, " she whispered when he walked in and he just nodded in reply.There was a certain stiffness around his shoulder that told her that he was still angry at her. The problem now was that she wasn't to be blamed for anything. She couldn't even process the reason he was annoyed. For all she knew, she hadn't done anything wrong but not tell him where she actually was. He had watched the scenes play out."I've been waiting for you." She whispered hoping to elicit a reaction from him. " Why aren't you speaking to me?" She probed him."Why are you pestering my life?

"Oh, I've been waiting for you so long. Is there any reason you have been far from the house? Any specifics that I'm not aware of?" Grandma inquired from her and she smiled at her. "Oh, there's nothing really wrong with me. I've just been trying to cope and do many things, you know? I've been out of touch for a while." Brielle replied with a fake smile. She'd rather be anywhere else than be with her family. Grandma understood what she was trying to do but she wanted to make sure that it didn't happen. What was the joy in having children who were at loggerheads? "Are you sure it's not because of Brock? Ever since your return, you've been acting weird." "Can you blame me?" She fired back. It was evident that everything that they were doing was to spite her and Alex but she wouldn't stand for that. There was also something that she remembered, it was almost as though she was the link they had to misbehave so she'd rather stay away. That way they wouldn't act unseemly.Her father butte

A cough sounded, disrupting their conversation and they moved back from each other. It was none other than Brock who was staring at them with a lot of questions in his gaze. There was something awkward about the way he was staring at them and Alex stood his ground.If this was his definition of intimidation then he had another thing coming and he didn't even say anything at the moment. Brock's eyes roamed through both of them but after a while, he was finally convinced that it wasn't a friendly conversation they were having."So, I see that you are really engrossed in the conversation isn't that right?" Brock stated. "It's none of your business what I say to my in-law. There's a reason for confidentiality." Alex replied.Brock knew that they were a few minutes away from bickering but he couldn't resist throwing some jabs into the mix. " I didn't think that a day would come when both of you would see eye to eye." He said sarcastically and they stared at him."Brock, get out of the wa

Brielle watched from the top of the stairs as her brother and husband stood head to head with anger shining in both of their eyes and she wondered what she could do to make sure that everything was okay. "You're not listening to me. I want you to take over my company. I can't have you just sitting at home idly and be content in being just a wife. You can be more. I mean, you're made to be more darlin. Why would you relegate your life just to accommodate a man?" Her father scolded her. "Oh? That's not what it is. I promise you I'll return to work later but not now though. You know I just..." "Need your husband to deal with his ego and allow you to work. Apart from that, none of my children would be a failure. I won't allow that. It's just not going to work for me. I know what should be done and I'm thinking of putting you in the branch downtown so that you and Brock don't butt heads." Brielle sighed and stared at her father. " Dad, why don't you employ my husband instead?" She sugg

Alex sat in the office with his father in-law who was busy thinking about how to broach the subject that he was about to drop right now. Although it might sound a bit too harsh but it was the truth."I hear that you've returned to your father's company." He started.Alex nodded while assessing his father in-law wondering what he was trying to achieve. He wasn't like other people who were trying to ride him. " Yes, I have been involved in my father's business." "Alright. So what are your plans for my daughter? I know that she's not suffering but I need to know." His father in-law said. "I want her to prosper if that's what you mean." Alex replied softly. He understood where this man was coming from. He would do the same if he was a father and it didn't mean that he didn't trust his in-law.Richard stared at the young man before him. He saw that there was a certain light in Alex's eyes. "I want to help you but I know that your pride wouldn't allow that. I know that there is a breach b
