The Rise Of Alexander Hugh. Chapter 16
A sexy young woman stood at the door entrance upon opening the door. It was obvious she was an escort with the kind of outfit she had on."What took you so long? I have been waiting for you for quite some time now." Mr. Cason said to the young lady as she stepped into the hotel room. "I'm sorry, I had something else to do." She replied and sat on the couch.The thug gazed at them and kept mute. He knew the kind of work the lady did. And he knew the kind of man he worked for. So to avoid any further trouble, he kept mute."What are you still doing standing there? Can't you see I have other important things to attend to!" He yelled at him."I'm sorry Sir, I will leave now" He bowed his head, looking away from his face."Find a way out of your mess. I want to hear solutions the next time we meet. Otherwise, it would be your head on the choosing block!" "Yes Sir" The thug bowed and left the hotel.At Emma's residence, her mother had received a huge package for her, and she had just gott

The day of the party finally arrived. It was magnificent. Aunt Eleanor went all out for the party. The party was held at the Hugh estate. It was an invitation-only party, inviting all that were affiliated with the Hugh company to finally see the heir. It was also an avenue for Eleanor to showcase Alexander to her friends and the press even though Alex never wanted that.Dawson received an invitation to the party and didn't understand why. He thought maybe the CEO finally wanted to meet him because all the meetings he tried scheduling with him had seemed fruitless.Dawson drove into the Hugh Compound with Carla by his side. His car was among the least expensive among the luxury cars parked there. The car park smelt of wealth."Watch where you're going, boy!" Yelled one of the guests as Dawson parked too close to one of the cars. His mind was occupied because he was on the brink of losing his company.He simply ignored the man and went on into the house because he didn't want to anger a

Dawson turned back realizing all eyes were now on him because of what Alexander asked. Dawson stuttered."I… I wasn't leaving. I just wanted to get something from the car first. I had it in mind already to help her up." He chuckled weakly. He squatted to Carla who was still on the ground covered in drink and helped her up."Here, use it and clean yourself." Alex handed him a cloth spotting a wicked sneer across his face."Thank you" Carla shamefully looked down and collected the cloth from Alex. She dared not look into his eyes."No need for the thank you, it's a piece of rag just like you." He smiled at both of them. Murmurs were heard from the guests and they wondered what they had done to the Hugh heir. Dawson was dumbfounded and couldn't even hold himself together. He was scared. His heart was in his mouth. He remembered every single thing he did to Alexander and knew his own life was finished. He shook repeatedly.Alex walked over to them, took Dawson's palm, and dragged him clo

Emma held on tightly to Alexander's hand. He gave a weary sigh. He put the champagne bottle back on the ice bucket and sank himself back on the sofa."What happened to you? You were happy when I got here, and now, you have this coldness in your eyes I have only ever seen once on you." She said looking at him with worry written all over her face.Alex looked quite dull probably from the glasses of champagne he gulped a few minutes ago. He stood up from the sofa and extended his hand to Emma."Take a walk with me." Emma stared at him quizzically. She hesitated for a while but she gave him her right hand and Alexander led her out of the party from all the noise.The walk was quiet. She walked beside Alexander for quite some time until they were in a rose garden. It was the most beautiful garden Emma had ever seen.It was secluded from the main building of the estate. One wouldn't even know something like that existed in the estate. It had a tall glass casing, with the roof part open to

Same moment as Dawson was strangling the life out of Carla, the party was still buzzing with guests mingling with one another and enjoying themselves. Alexander had seen off Emma and went back in. He tried dodging the remaining few people at the party but was accosted by one of the board members. He looked at Alex sternly. "Take what Mr. Cason says to heart. He's always been a brute. But I will say this because you seem like a good fellow. Be careful of him. He's a ruthless man, and he's with the bad crowd. I have this gut feeling that Mr. Williams's death wasn't old age." He patted Alexander's shoulder and walked off into the parking lot.Alexander wasn't surprised at what he said. He knew that Frank Cason wasn't one to take lightly and this just confirmed it. But deep down, he wondered what type of man Mr. Cason was and what he was actually capable of. Afterwards, he dashed off to his room and took a shower. He picked up his phone and called Lucas. He asked Lucas if he could come

Carla's best friend Marie, was surprised that her date was bowing to Alexander. She was livid with him even though she had just seen Alexander on the TV a few seconds ago. She still believed that it was a lie or a ploy to get her precious friend Carla back."Why in the world would you bow to this commoner and call him Sir? He's not a God. He's just a useless person who couldn't give what his fiance wanted in life…" Marie's words trailed off because the man she came with snapped at her.He dragged her by her hand closer to himself. "You're gonna get me in trouble, Marie. That's my new boss. Remember that deal I have been telling you about that would pay for your vacation and your new house? It's all in his hands. Please I'm begging you, don't ruin this for me with your blabbermouth." The man owned a marketing agency and was in the works of striking a deal with Hugh's company to be the major advertising agency they had. But with the way things are going with Marie's abusive words, now

She was flabbergasted at the sight of what was shown on TV. A boy she thought was nothing is now the most powerful man in the city. She was lost for some minutes until she recollected, picked up her jaw, and closed her mouth.She brushed her sweatshirt, grabbed the remote from her son, and put the TV off.She abruptly turned to her daughter. "It doesn't matter what he is and the power he has now. We did nothing to him, and he's still the same useless boy in my eyes" "Mom! You're joking, right? We did everything inhumanly possible to him. We ridiculed and don't forget, I rendered his company to the ground." Carla had beads of tears formed in her eyes. She suddenly felt remorseful for everything she did to Alexander.Her mom looked at her with disgust because of the tears she saw. "Better suck those tears back in because I don't see anything wrong in whatever we did. Besides, the business is booming more than ever and we still have Dawson's funds." Her mom said. She was nonchalant and

"I need your help in finding a private detective." Lucas furrowed his face in shock. "Is this because of what we discussed in the car? Trust me Mr. Cason might be brutal but he isn't capable of anything other than empty threats." Alexander was indifferent to what Lucas said. "Just find me one"Lucas sighed heavily and just shook his head. He knew there was no point arguing. He wondered what Alexander needed with a private investigator. He knew he needed to talk with his dad.****The drive to the former secretary's house was serene and warm. Alexander had forwarded the details of the journey to his driver. He left early because the man lived in the countryside away from the buzzing city.The whole city's media has been buzzing on the knowledge of the lost son of Hugh.
