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."

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. Alexander hissed as he perused his phone. Every tabloid had his pictures on their front pages carrying both false and true news about him.He sighed heavily and tossed the phone to the leather chair of the luxurious ca

Mr. Jacob handed him a load of files containing dissimilarities during the short time Mr. Cason was the CEO. He was right, even if he weren’t returning, the files would go a long way in fighting a case for Alexander. The files were much needed by Alexander. He got into his car and drove straight to the office. Upon arrival, the office was filled with uproar upon his arrival with the staff having different opinions as to what was happening. Alexander was fazed with visible creases on his forehead. “Why is there uproar in my office when work is supposed to be ongoing? What the hell is the meaning of this pandemonium?” His voice is commanding and reverberating throughout the whole floor.His eyes were red hot, piercing into the souls of the whole staff. They kept mute upon hearing the authoritative tone. They hid their faces, bowing their heads avoiding Alexander's fierce gaze. Alexander stepped right to his office and matched right into his office lobby to meet his aunt and Lucas wait

Immediately Alexander said that Mr. Graham grabbed the phone from his hand and inspected it to ascertain who the caller was but the number had been disconnected. He handed the phone to Lucas. “Take this to the tech team, the culprit will be out before you know it,” He said, handing the phone to his son.“No!” Reverberated Alexander. “That won't be necessary,” Alexander suddenly said, grabbing the phone, and surprising everyone.“Why don't you want the culprit apprehended,” Aunt Eleanor snorted and scoffed, shocked at him. “I kept mute when you decided to keep the truth of who roughed you up that led to you ending up in the hospital, this is beginning to piss me off” His Aunt spoke angrily. “She’s right Alexander, you can't keep bottling everything up, clearly, it's evident someone is adamant about hurting you, and who knows it might be…” Lucas was cut off by Alex's frustrated grunts. “Just stop! What makes you think it’s whoever landed me in the hospital.” He pinched the bridge of h
