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
"She wasn't being rude to you, Naomi. She was just surprised at your attitude towards me." Alex looked at her. "Is there anything bad in me trying to watch out for you? You scared the hell out of me when you were not picking up my calls." Alex, not knowing what to say, looked at Naomi and said, "I believe you are no longer a child, my daughter. A lot of people want me dead and will keep trying till I am. I am trying my best to stay alive for your and my grandfather's sake. My parents were killed unjustly, and I will have their murderers brought to justice." "Isn't that a long time ago?" Naomi asked "Yes, it is a child, but I can't easily forget them. I didn't have the privilege of growing up with my parents because someone decided to have them killed." Alex said it sadly. "I know how that must have felt. I grew up without a family too; I don't know who my parents were, and I don't think my family cared enough to sort me out. I was lucky to work for your grandfather until you adop
Henry and Claire, on the other hand, were busy gathering any information that would make them closer to Ruby. They needed to dig up more dirt about him. One afternoon, they both sat down together. Claire found an old article about a servant killing its master. "This must be it. This is how Ruby can acquire his wealth." Henry looked at Claire with a smile on his face. "I had always thought this was just a rumor." Claire replied "Well, it didn't say he had him killed; we need to find the truth behind the man's death and connect it to Ruby." "Do you think that would be possible, considering how many years this has happened?" "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I can investigate again if I want. I have some men in high places who would do my bidding without questioning me." Henry smiled "What are you not telling me?" Claure looked at his face. "Let's just keep it between us for now. I'm sure we are going to get our chance." The door opened slowly, and Ruby walked in, looking at the t
Alex rolled on the bed, looking at Paulina by his side. He was more than happy to have the most beautiful and understanding woman. The rays of the sun caught her very skin and shone into her eyes. Alex got closer to her, using his body to block the sun. "Good morning," Paulina said with a smile on her face. "Morning, love," Alex replied. They both had a light kiss, and Paulina looked at him. "What are you doing?" She asked, seeing Alex staring at her face. "I am just happy you are mine." He replied Alex's phone rang, and a reminder popped up on it. "Gosh, I have forgotten." He said it in a rush as he got out of bed. "What is it?" Paulina asked, seeing the look on his face. "Today is Anthony Bailey's daughter's graduation. I can't miss that. Are you coming?" Alex asked, getting into the bathroom. "I don't think I should come. What do you think about asking Roseline out on a date? I think that would help throw Richard off your back for a little bit."Alex paused the toothbrush halfw
