A young lady in her twenties brought a cup of beer and placed it in front of Alex. He gulped down the beer and looked at Victor. "I was once married to the Wills family, and I was a nobody. I had to run their mini-errands, and I was looked down on. Nobody wants to give me a chance, and they hate me. All I had was my mere worthless life." Alex said, sadly reminiscing about old memories. Alex took a deep breath, the bitterness of old memories surfacing with every word. "The Wills family was my ticket to a better life, or so I thought. I married into the family, thinking I could prove my worth and that I could be more than just a pawn in their grand schemes. But from the moment I stepped into their world, I was nothing but a servant in their eyes. Although I had lived with Claire sincerely, she did too, not until I got married to her."Victor's interest was piqued. "What did they do to you?"Alex's eyes darkened as he recalled the torment. "They treated me like dirt. I was given the wor
Alex exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple as he thought about Agent Miller's words. He knew taking matters into his own hands could backfire, but waiting for the legal process seemed too slow, especially with Paulina's life in danger. He needed a solid plan, something that would give him the upper hand without compromising his principles. He looked up like he was gazing into the stars."Alright, Miller," Alex finally said. "I'll keep you updated. But we can't just sit around. Xavier and Charlotte are planning something big, and we need to stay one step ahead.""I understand, Alex," Miller replied, his tone softening. "We'll do everything by the book, but we need to be smart. Gather as much evidence as you can, and I'll work on getting the necessary warrants. We also need to have the Commission trapped in this case. It could be a huge victory for us."Alex nodded, even though Miller couldn't see him. "I'll do that. Thanks, Miller."After hanging up, Alex stared at his phone for a moment
Xavier's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint in them. "Those firearms are all legally owned. I have permits for each one. If you have any real evidence against me, produce it now or leave. Besides, this will be the second time you are going to storm my house trying to find what is not." Alex knew they couldn't find anything since Agent Miller wasn't out in time. He manoeuvres his way into Xavier's ansion. " Ah! I didn't know you were here either." Xavier said with a smirk on his face. Alex stepped forward, his jaw clenched. "We're not leaving until we find what we're looking for." He looked at Charlotte, who was seated with her cold tea. She looked at Alex and smiled. She was indeed enjoying the show. Xavier laughed with a cold, mocking sound. "You can search all you want, but you won't find anything that ties me to anything illegal."Miller interjected, "We have more than enough to keep you here for questioning, Xavier. Possession of this many firearms, even with permits, raises quest
Agent Miller looked at Alex, whose gaze was fixed on the burning house. "Do you know where the deal is taking place?" he asked, looking at Alex with the corner of his eyes. "And why do you think I would know that?" Alex replied as his gaze bore into Agent Miler. "Because you seem to know everything these days. You even know the house was having an underground." Miller looked away. " Really? Do you think if you have done your job, I will be snooping around the Richmond mansion?" Alex asked with anger. "Come down now, kid. You don't want me to put a cuff on that wrist. I have told you we are doing this the legal way. My way!" Agent Miller looked at Alex and saw Xavier approaching with his wife Sandra. "You caused this, and you are going to be paying soon for it." "Is that a threat?" Agent Miller looked at Xavier's face. The tension was high as both men stared at each other. The walking sound of the fire department getting closer. The men relaxed their gaze as Agent Alice got closer to
Roseline was beginning to miss Alex. The fact that her father had a brawl before he left made her unsettled. She looked at her father as he made a phone call in his study room while she was seated on the couch beside him. Richard stared at Roseline, knowing she had something to talk about. He dropped the call and looked into her face. "Okay, spill, why are you looking so dull?" He asked, going through the system in front of him. "Why do you hate Alex so much, dad?" Roseline asked, changing her seating posture. "Honey, I don't hate Alex. I am just watching out for you. Ever since your mother died, it has just been you and me. I can't afford anything happening to you, and I don't think Alex loves you. He is just using you to get to me." Richard shifted his gaze away from the monitor and looked at Roseline. "What do you mean when you use me? Do you know anything about Anthony Bailey's death?" Roseline asked, staring at her father. "Are you interrogating me now?" Richard has his face
Charlotte and Claire were seated, and things were beginning to get a little bit fair. They were able to afford the things they wanted courtesy of Xavier, who had been sponsoring their extravagant lives. "It is a good thing Ruby disappeared for good. I was thinking of how I was going to pay him back his money." Charlotte said with a smile on her face, making Claire and Henry look at her with disdain. "Mother', is money all you ever cared about? Where is the human feeling in you?" Claire shouted with disgust. " What? Don't tell me you are talking back at me. Do you think about your feelings when you had Alex work as your maid all the time and even had a child that wasn't his own? Where were your human feelings then?" Charlotte shouted at Claire and looked at Henry.The room was tense as they all stared at themselves without saying a word. "Benjamin would be released today." Claire cleared the air, looking at Charlotte, who didn't flinch. "Then go and pick him up." She barked, looking
"No, Alex had managed to have some of the most efficient guards protecting her. I can get near her without my identity being compromised. I might need to get closer to her.* Sky replied Richard. "Fine, I need you to watch her and make sure you report to me about the progress." Sky nodded in response to Richard's instructions, his face betraying no hint of emotion. He understood the gravity of his mission. Every move had to be calculated, and every action had to be deliberate. Miranda was heavily guarded, and any misstep could expose him and jeopardise their plans. He would have to be patient and meticulous. ***********************************************"*************************** Miranda, on the other hand, took care of Alex's business; the company was flourishing, and they even expanded their mining business into other countries. Many of the staff and workers were happy working under her. Miranda was passionate about her work, and she even increased their wages after Alex lai
Charlotte and Claire decided to get closer to Alex. "Let me do this, mother. I know Alex would still have some feeling left for me." Claire replied, looking at Jacob and her mother. [CHARLOTTE SMIRKED] "Have you met Alex recently? The rage and anger in a young man's eyes are enough to burn down an entire mansion. I would advise having him killed. Think about it: He wouldn't be a threat to us anymore, and it would be a win-win for everyone. Xavier gets his hands on his company and the gold. We get our share of everything, and we leave Rochester for good." Charlotte looked at her face. Benjamin Wibhad had just gotten back from prison and looked at Claire. "How are we able to afford this lavish lifestyle? The last time I checked, we were living from hand to mouth." He said to take a seat. "You had better behave yourself, kid, or you would be shipped off somewhere far." Jacob warned him. "I will try and see if I can get close to him and make him forget this revenge against us. We can
