Alex returned home earlier that night with some tacos in hand and a smile on his face. He was rest assured now that Martins was on his side and had promised to help him out.Brielle was also somewhat excited that finally he wasn't going to be frowning as much as he did before. This would be one of the best things that happened to her too. " Hey, you're in high spirits. What should we drink?" She asked playfully.A smile crossed Alex's lips because he was also envisioning the success that would come with this and didn't know what was going to happen already. If he was going to be seeing something differently, then he would need to start acting the part.She stared at him again before drawing him closer, collecting the bag from his hands and walking towards the Kitchen."What are you doing?" He asked her "I want to get some plates." She replied."Let's eat it from the bag like old times sake." He said and they stared at each other before bursting into laughter. She couldn't believe tha
Brielle didn't sleep that night as she began tj restructure the business plans accordingly. Alex had left her, more like she had told him that he should go take a rest when she saw the way he was acting weirdly.After trying to get the hang of it with no luck, Alex came out later to assist her. "I thought that you were sleeping."He snorted as he sipped the cup of cold coffee, wrinkling his nose right after the taste assaulted his senses. "Are you sure that there's nothing that you want to tell me? Why didn't you call me?" "Well, I wanted to do it all on my own but I don't know what's up though." She said and he yawned softly."Do you know what is expected of you? I mean the business plan? Let's go to sleep, I'll see what we can do in the morning." He told her and she stared at him tiredly, wanting to protest.She had thought that Alex was sleeping, not knowing that he was working on his laptop and was waiting to see how long she'd stay awake. He didn't have a problem with her tryin
Brielle and Alex arrived at her father's house a few minutes before noon and quickly slipped into her father's study. She called her father before she got there. When she opened the door, her father was smiling at her, but there was a problem, Brock was already seated waiting for her. She looked at her father in shock. He had betrayed her. "We've been waiting for you for a while." Richard said.Brielle adjusted her clothes, it was just a bit to make sure that everything was going fine and recover from the shock. "I didn't know that the meeting had started." Brock was busy smiling at her, he knew that she had told her father of her plan to hide and eavesdrop so he looked forward to see what she would do now that he was here. "I didn't know that you would come here. I mean, I would have sworn that your beloved husband would have stopped you from coming." He said dryly.Brielle shot him a fierce look but didn't say a word. "I don't want to talk to you, today, Brock. Go straight to the p
Few people gained respect from Alex and out of them, Richard Reynolds has been erased from the list. The fact that he entertained such in the first place after knowing what his son wanted to do and hid under the pretense of being a good father in-law. The problem now was that he didn't have anything in mind against him.When he saw Brielle coming out of the house toward him, he knew why."Did your father send you?" He asked and she shook her head in reply. "That's not true." She replied, but it was actually the truth. "I know that he's been calling you too. But why don't you just show up so that you can hear what he has to say to you. I know that I might be kind of biased but who isn't?" He grinned in response. He knew that she was knit with her father therefore she tended to be soft with him. If it was Brock she might not be leaning into his trap. "I'll call him when it's time. There's nothing we want to talk about save the fact that he is going to apologize isn't it? And maybe tr
Brock took it upon himself to become the town crier and announce it that Sean would be merging with their family to become a formidable empire. The tabloids were already running haywire with the information due to Brock's fuel. it became the talk of the town and everywhere Brielle went, she was accosted by the press asking how she felt. At one point, it became so overwhelming that she didn't like going out again at least for the meantime. It was beginning to get to her mental health. She was forced to start wearing glasses that hid her form so that she could at least breathe well. There was something else that was holding her back from doing what she should. It was the fact that Alex had told her that the press would surely go away but it seemed like at this point, there was nothing that she could do. Alex was very devoted to his start-up and she wouldn't be selfish to stop him from going about his daily activities just to please her. It wouldn't work as long as she wasn't selfish
Alex had a reason for acting the way he did, and it was because there was nothing that was going to happen without drastic measures happening. He was going to make sure that his business was flourishing and get those men to do something that they would regret in their lives.Brielle's call came in and he picked up instantly. "Hey, what's happening?" He asked her, pausing his typing. Brielle stilled, "I don't know... I was thinking of going out tonight and I don't know your plans."Now Alex was very interested. She seemed like something was wrong. "I don't know... I'll check my schedule and get back to you." He replied.Brielle stilled, "I don't know, I know that you'll always be busy. Do you think that you can squeeze out a minute for me?" She inquired, it was important that they had the conversation at least this night because she wanted to travel urgently and couldn't wait till he returned."Okay, why don't we have lunch then? I think that's better than doing nothing at all right?"
Alex arrived ten minutes earlier than the agreed time, it was a date however familiar he was with her, he needed to do the right thing.At exactly ten minutes later, Brielle walked in through the door, her eyes scanning the environment for a while before settling on him. He was shocked that no smile crossed her lips. It had to be something really serious."So, let's see what we have here." He muttered as the waiter approached them immediately after Brielle had sat down. "We'll go with some lamb chops, right babe?" He asked her and she nodded. The waiter took down the order and walked away leaving the couple in momentary silence. Now the problem was that Alex didn't leave his house to come here and stare at Brielles face "Tell me what's wrong." "A lot of things." She answered morosely.Alex's mind wandered to various scenarios that could warrant such expression. "like?" "The fact that you've been unavailable for the past weeks, you've shown no concern whatsoever in the scandal tha
Very few people were eligible to have the kind of luxury that Brielle did but was acting the way she was. She reached out to the decorator who was willing to take her under her wings for the meantime until she finally decided to stand on her own. After leaving the previous day, she hadn't spoken to Alex and that was not allowed to go well because there was something else that was not going on well. He didn't think that she should go but didn't say it. As she was thinking, she heard her phone ring. Taking a quick glance at it, it was her mother and she hissed. What the hell was her mother calling for? They were unable to reprimand their choice son who was still on her case. "Hello, Mom." She greeted politely because she was raised better than that. "I've missed you darling. I reached out to your husband, he says that he doesn't know where you are." Brielle rolled her eyes. It was typical of him to say that. But why wouldn't he? When all that was happening was to make sure that she
