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. 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
Mr. Frank Cason narrowed his eyes and dropped the bottle of whiskey he had earlier opened without pouring himself a cup anymore. "And what gave you the impression they were shady? Huh?." He drawled. "I have warned you several times to stay out of my business, I married you from your wretched family, haven't I done enough already by marrying your ass" He scoffed harshly, picked up the whole bottle of whiskey, and took sips directly from it.His wife's spirit was already low coming into the office, but his words brought her lower. "I only said that because they scared me when they arrived unannounced. If you have such people coming in, at least inform me to better prepare for receiving them" Her voice broke at intervals as she spoke."Hahaha!...Haha." He laughed hoarsely. "You? inform you?"He looked at her and shook his head scornfully. "You must be in deja vu land to think I have to notify you before I receive people in my own house." His tone changed from condescending to fierce. "Wh
Alexander called Alex for short, was agitated, he hurried to open the door to his house not minding anything else."Carla" He called out as soon as he opened the door but no answer came, probably due to the loud music that was blasting from the TV.He needed to speak with his fiance immediately because his company was on the brink of closing.He walked closer and he heard playful giggling from the kitchen. He recognized one of the voices as Carla's own. The worry on his face turned to dread and he wondered who the second voice belonged to because it was a strong male voice as he walked closer to the kitchen area. He was curious to know what was happening.Alex couldn't comprehend what he saw as he got to the kitchen entrance. It was his fiancee sitting on the kitchen counter with her legs wrapped around this stranger kissing him passionately in only her white lingerie with her blonde hair falling freely on her back while his hands fondled her breasts."Carla!" Alex yelled out loudly b
Carla saw Alex's eyes red and was scared because this wasn't an Alex she had seen before. She went closer to Dawson to avoid Alex."Take your cheap ass ring!"Carla threw the ring Alex had engaged her with at him. "It isn't worth sitting on my finger. I'm too expensive for this shit.""What are you saying, Carla? Suddenly you are too expensive. Cheap ass! Really! I worked my butt off to get you this. I knew how many hours of hard work I put in to get you this ring." Alex spat furiously at Carla."You call a $3,000 ring expensive and you are proud of it, meanwhile Dawson got me diamond earrings worth over $50,000 and it didn't even shake him," She said, shoving her blonde hair out of the way revealing a set of earrings she wore proudly.Dawson, who was now sitting on a kitchen stool with a disdainful look watched as Carla spewed all abuse and scorn on Alex. He smiled and laughed as if the situation was entertaining to him.He stood up and walked closer to Alex. "You've never had the me
