The two immediately got out of bed. " Do you mind if we have our bath together?" Alex asked taking off his clothes. Paulina laughed seeing Alex was eager to start a family with her. " Yes, but don't think of doing anything weird. We are late already, Lex." Paulina said blushing. Both of them went into the bathroom and had their baths. They dressed up and were ready to start the day's work. " How do I look?" Alex stood in front of the mirror looking at himself. "you look ravishing except that...." Paulina paused and walked towards the role of ties she was seeing in front of her. She picked a blue tie and walked back to Alex. "Except that you need a tie," Paulina said with a smile, wrapping the blue tie around Alex's neck. "Now you look perfect."Alex chuckled, "Thanks, Paulina. You always know how to make me look good."As they walked out of the house, Alex couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He knew that today was going to be a big day. They were going to the mines to see
Xavier and Richard exchanged glances, sensing there was a change in Alex's attitude. They knew they had to tread carefully; this wasn't the same Alex they were used to dealing with."We're here because we want to discuss the distribution of the treasure," Richard said, trying to maintain his composure.Alex leaned back in his chair, his gaze piercing. "And why do you think you're entitled to a share of it?"Xavier cleared his throat, attempting to assert their position. "As partners in this venture, we believe we have a right to be involved in any significant discoveries.Paulina observed the tension in the room, her instincts telling her that this conversation could escalate quickly. She remained silent, but her eyes darted between Alex and the two men.Alex rubbed his chin thoughtfully, considering their words. "Partnership implies shared responsibility and shared benefits. But it seems to me that lately, the two of you have been more interested in personal gain than in our collecti
Paulina paid attention to Alex's worries; her forehead creased with concern. She understood that Henrietta's possible betrayal had the potential to be disastrous for their organization. "I agree with you, Alex. If Henrietta chooses to align herself with our adversaries, it could put all of our hard work at risk because she possesses important information."Alex agreed by nodding, his thoughts running wild with potential options. "It is important that we locate her before she is able to take any action." Are there any clues on where she frequented before she left for Miami?" Alex looked at Paulina from his seat. Paulina pondered deeply, tapping her chin. "We are not very good friends, if I remember vividly. She has always been somewhat secretive when it comes to her personal life. But I recall her talking about a cabin in the woods that she enjoyed going to whenever she wanted some fresh air." Alex felt a spark of hope in his eyes. "Sure, I recall that as well. It's worth trying. We
The news of Alex finding new gold sites spread throughout the mining industry. Many wanted to do business with him, not for the sake of being his partner but because they wanted a piece of the gold. Rubby heard about it too, as did Consort Xavier. "You said you were going to share everything with me. Why would you hold back something important from me?" He shouted in anger, pressing the phone to his ears. "Why would I have to tell you everything? You can as well do research on your own." Xavier replied that he was getting tired of Rubby trying to boss him up and down. "I see," Ruby answered back, and the line went off.Barnes Cox, a friend of John Davis decided to visit Alex, he also heard about the gold and wanted a piece of it. Alex was going through some documents when he received a call from his secretary " Hello sir, a ma called Mr. Barnes says he wants to see you." "Barnes? Who is he like he was?" Alex asked again, the name ringing a bell. "He says he is a friend of your grand
Alex sank into the chair and looked at the door as Barnes walked out. He had a lot on his plate already, and this again. The battle was becoming more tense than he had hoped it was going to be. A call came through, and he picked it up. "Mr. Bailey, how are you doing?" Alex greeted me with a smile. Mr. Bailey called to inform Alex about his daughter's graduation. "I will love it if you can grace the occasion," Bailey asked."I certainly will," Alex replied. The two exchanged pleasantries and bid farewell. Alex was no longer a trainee at Bailey's gym anymore. He was now a pro and a good martial artist. Paulina woke up and looked at Alex. "I think we need to hide the treasures for now." "Call the mine and tell them to pack all the jewels. I am coming for it." Alex ordered Paulina was about to walk out when she looked at Alex. "Do you have anything in mind?" Alex grinned, "I am going to put the treasure away where they least expect it to be." After work, Brian drove Alex to the mine s
Alex pretended not to believe what Agent Miller was telling him. "Are you telling me that my father was murdered?" He asked, looking at his face. "I believe so. We are trying to gather evidence and proof to make sure we are sure about this." Miller replied, "Do you care for an autopsy?" Miller looked at Alex. "Autopsy?" I don't even know where my parents were buried. I just reunited with my grandfather some years ago before he lost his life." "May his soul rest in perfect peace." Agent Miller said, bowing a little," Accept my condolences. I will reach out to you if there is anything that needs your attention." Miller replied and walked out. Alex sat down, staring at the door in disbelief. How come news about the death of his father was resurfacing after a long time? "Come to my room," Alex ordered, dropping the call.Bran walked in and looked at him. "What do you want me for, Mr. Alex?" "Get the car ready; we are going to see my grandpa." Brian walked out of the room, and Andrew
Paulina looked at the ring dangling from Alex's hand, and she smiled. "Will you do me the honor, Miss Paulina Williams, and be my lawfully wedded wife?" Alex asked, looking at Paulina."Ain't you going to end the kneel?" Paulina asked, folding her hand childishly.Alex laughed at Paulina's playful reaction and got to his feet, still clutching the ring in his hand. He moved closer to her, his gaze fixed on hers. "Okay, this time I won't get down on one knee," he said with a smile as he silently placed the ring on her finger. "Can you please save me from waiting and just give me a response?"Paulina's eyes sparkled with happiness while she gazed at the ring on her finger. Paulina smiled and told Alex that she had been anticipating that moment ever since they first met, her voice brimming with emotion. "Of course, I will say yes to marrying you."Alex felt overwhelming joy in his heart as he hugged her tightly and gently kissed her. He whispered his love for Paulina Williams against her
The atmosphere inside the car was tense as Brian expertly navigated the streets, trying to shake off the car following them. Alex's heart is pumped with adrenaline, his thoughts racing to determine the identity of the one chasing him. Knowing he had numerous enemies, he sought out a peaceful location to contemplate who his pursuers could possibly be.While driving fast on the curvy roads, Alex couldn't get rid of the uneasy feeling of bothering him. "Brian, have you had any success getting rid of them?" he inquired, his tone reflecting worry.Brian looked in the mirror behind him with a tight expression on his face. "Mr. Alex, not quite yet." "I'm still working on it," he said, keeping his focus on the road ahead without wavering.Paulina held onto Alex's hand firmly, her gaze moving back and forth between him and the car's back window. She inquired if there might be a connection to his family's issue, her voice shaking a bit. "It could happen," Alex responded, his jaw tight with res
