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
Brock was shocked by the manner in which his Grandma had sent him away like a stray dog. It was very annoying and he was just thinking about the way that he could get her to be on his side. His sister listened to Brielle. She needed just a tiny nudge from grandma to make her reconsider so he needed to make that come to pass. There was nothing else that was going to make him change his mind about certain things that he had planned. "Tell me what else you need from me, grandma. You're not understanding what is going on between us. I'm sure that she must have told you a lot about me" Grandma's eyes narrowed at her first grandson. If Brock was half the woman Brielle was, she would have been very happy but right now she was very regretful that this was even happening in her lifetime. She would have preferred if they weren't even on talking terms at this point. " Now, tell me, what don't I understand?" She replied.Brock took a step forward making her narrow her eyes at him. " I'm sorry,
Alex met up with his investors at the Golden Tulip Hotel and was setting up his instrument to make it conducive for them. He had gone over his presentation and was sure that he was going to kill it. If he was doing great for someone's company, how much more he who knew what was at stake and the things that were required to make sure that he got the deal.He needed this major break so that he could launch into the market. He had the capital that Martins helped him sourcing for but he was trying his hardest to make sure that it didn't extend beyond what it should. "I don't know what else is missing." He told Martins through the phone.Martins was still hiding his identity because one of the investors could easily identify his face and he didn't want that one bit. He would have preferred if everyone was just on their own and didn't have to do anything other than their main purpose which was seal the deal and move on."Yeah, you don't need to worry about anything. I trust that you would k
