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

To say that Brielle was embarrassed was an understatement because her face suddenly became like a tomato farm and she grimaced. Seeing the hassle that she was going through, Alex removed her hand from her mother's grip and dragged her toward the door."We have other important things to do." He said and pulled her out of the door.Brielle's face was sour as they walked to the car. "I'm sorry." She apologized. It was the only thing she could do to appease him. It was her fault that he was receiving these insults. If she had stayed away from her family these wouldn't happen."It's fine."Brielle was discomfited because she knew that although he wasn't speaking, he was probably very angry and she didn't want that. It was a pity that her mother didn't care about her well-being and how her home would be. "My family sure makes a big deal in getting you riled up whenever they get the chance and I don't even have what to say to you right now. I'm sorry about everything." "Its fine." Alex repl

Alex was a bit perturbed by that call and he couldn't even help but make it known. While others were busy thinking about how and when they could do everything already, he was thinking ahead. Hearing that his brother had managed to clean his act and get his shit together and even make sure that he employed the right pr to conceal his stupidity. It was an entire surprise and he was worried which rarely occured. Well as far as he was concerned. Brielle noticed this change in him when he returned from his outing. She had been fuming that he didn't have her time until she saw him. He looked like he lost his dog and she was very concerned too. "Did something happen?" She inquired and he just kept on looking at her for some minutes before nodding."Yeah, I'm cool. What's up?" He replied instead and she stared at him. She knew that he was going through something that she didn't see the need to tell him about and she was feeling very fearful."Are you sure?" she replied and he nodded before

Alex resumed at work the next day and saw a few workers staring at him weirdly and hiding when they saw that he was staring at them making him a bit wary. "What is going on, I can see that they are acting weirdly." He asked Martins who also shrugged, meanwhile marking their faces and staring at him to see what was happening. "What do you mean by that? I thought you were conversant with things that happen in the office. Get me the files on the shelf." Alex said immediately he settled in his chair. He had a feeling that something was wrong and it wouldn't be more than one of Liam's bullshit.The subject of his thoughts walked in through the door with a grin on his face. Alex braces himself for bad news. It wouldn't be so shocking anymore seeing that he already knew what was at stake. "So, aren't you going to tell me what I need to know?" He inquired from Liam.He didn't want to give him that leverage over him. If he had something to say then he should go ahead and spit it out becaus

After all that being said and done, Liam had nothing else to say instead he shot a promising finger at Alex. "Don't think it's over because it's simply not." He warned and Alex was more than comfortable in those seats. He would take face slapping his brother over any other chore. This was something that if player well, he would be able to fetch a lot of information. *Yes, brother, of course I won't speak a word and yes, I would not allow anyone, I mean, anybody to come between my work and I. Why are you acting so tired and weak to argue with me. This used to be your best sport those times and I can bet that you're not sorry for your actions." He replied.Liam was a bit angry but was trying so hard to keep his anger in. It was never about the property, it was his brother, Alex who was trying to upset him who made him very antsy and annoyed. His angst towards him reaches beyond boundaries and he would want that many things be set in place at least for a while to build momentum."You lo
