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
Chloe heard about Miranda's taking over the mining business. She knew she should have been the one to oversee the business, but Alex didn't reach out to her because he knew she would try and take over the business. Chloe knew she had to join and team up with Barne Cox. After all, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." She knew Barnes had also wanted a piece of the mining company, and joining hands with him wasn't such a bad idea. She picked up her phone and reached out to Barnes, asking him for a meeting. Chloe knew she needed to join hands with him if she was going to win the company from Alex. Chloe tapped her fingers restlessly on her desk while she waited for Barnes Cox to pick up her call. The phone continued to ring persistently, and right before she was going to disconnect the call, a rough voice finally picked up,Chloe. What do I have to thank for this enjoyable surprise? Barnes seemed cautious yet interested. “I have to get together with you, Barnes. The focus is on the mini
Alex looked at her and wondered why Miranda was asking him the question. "Well, I think she is after me right after Grandpa died. She believed she was the sole owner and leader of the Davis's, but Grandpa chose me. I don't know why, but he did, and Aunt Chloe is not happy with it." Alex replied, looking at the laptop right in front of him. "Is anything the matter?" He turned his gaze to meet Miranda. [MIRANDA SIGH] "I understand that you don't feel safe around her, but has she been a threat to you or the company?" Alex raised his eyebrow and looked at her. "She wants the company, and she would stop at nothing to get it. The company has more of a leadership role in this family. Once she has it, then she is the head of the family." Alex replied, "Then you need to know that Chloe and Barnes are working together." Mirand rubbed her chin gently. "I think they won't be a threat, but I just needed to tell you. Do you think we need to be cautious of them?" Miranda asked, "Aunty Chloe is f
Xavier almost lost his senses when he heard about what happened with the shipment. The commissioner was supposed to get his share, but now it was gone. He looked at Victor with a blaze of fire in his eyes. "You are getting sloppy with your work these days, Victor. How did they know the route this time around? What are you not telling me?" He looked at Victor as if he were trying to pry into his very soul."There was nothing I could do. The men came out of nowhere with loaded ammunition and firepower. We didn't stand a chance." Victor explained Sandra walked into the men and looked at Victor. "WWell, you need to get more men, and more men means more money." She sat down beside Xavier, who was enraged. "Do you know who had the shipment?" He asked, brushing his hands over his hair. "I think Lawrence." Victor replied, trying to give Xavier a name. He knew Xavier was going to have him tailed after this, so he needed to at least give him some information that would earn his trust. The f
Victor immediately called Lawrence with his burner phone, explaining what was going on and what Xavier's plan was.Lawrence listened intently on the other end of the line, his expression stoic as Victor relayed Xavier's plans. The room was dimly lit, casting shadows across Lawrence's sharp features, giving him an ominous appearance."Xavier's getting desperate," Victor said, keeping his voice low. "He's ordered me to have you killed within the next three days. He's got the commissioner breathing down his neck, demanding the gold shipment."Lawrence chuckled softly. "Desperation makes men careless. This is our advantage."Victor sighed. "Easier said than done. Xavier's no fool. He's got resources, and he's ruthless. We need a plan.""We already have a plan," Lawrence replied, his tone firm. "You continue to play your part. Keep him believing that you're working for him. Meanwhile, I'll set things in motion on my end. We need to draw him out and make him expose himself."Victor nodded,
