The Rise Of The Penniless Son-in-law CHAPTER 23
The following day was very eventful, Alex had planned to visit the orange since he couldn't go there the last time he planned. He got up from his bed and walked to take his bath. His mind went back to the lady his grandfather talked about. " Who could she be?" Alex brushed his palms over the mirror in his front to see clearly. His hair was rough. He quickly brushed his teeth and took a warm bath. He was feeling a little cold. He walked out of the bathroom and got a call from Andrew. Alex walked towards the com and picked up his call. " What is it, Andrew?" " Sir, we need to head out. We are visiting your new house and Roland is in the police station. The DPO is asking to see you and know what they are charging Roland with." Andrew replied " Oh, that. I had a different plan already. We need to visit the orphanage. We were supposed to go a couple of days back if you remember." " Of course sir. When do you want to go?" He asked adjusting his spectacle " Today but first I need to ta

"Answer the man's question!" The DPO's voice boomed in the room.Roland shifted uncomfortably, his eyes moving around the room as if searching for an escape route. Finally, he summoned the courage to speak, albeit hesitantly. "I... I didn't mean to burn it down. It was an accident."Alex narrowed his eyes, his patience wearing thin. "An accident? You call burning down a house an accident?"Roland gulped audibly. "I... I was trying to light a cigarette outside, and I must have dropped the match by mistake. I didn't realize it until it was too late."The DPO shook his head in disbelief. "So you're telling me that you accidentally set fire to a whole house?""Yes, sir," Roland stammered. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I swear."Alex let out a frustrated sigh. "Do you have any idea how much damage you've caused? Not to mention the emotional distress it's caused me." "I'm sorry," Roland muttered, his gaze fixed on the floor. He knew arguing with Alex there would mean another day in the

Alex had his things packed and moved into his new home. He marveled at the sight as he walked into the house. Money changeth all things. He could hardly believe it was the same house he had bought from the McCartneys. As he stepped into his new home, he was immediately struck by its grandeur and elegance. The foyer boasted high ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers, casting a warm glow over the polished marble floors below. A sweeping staircase curved gracefully to the second floor, its wrought iron railing adding a touch of sophistication to the space.To the left of the foyer, a cozy sitting area beckoned with plush velvet sofas arranged around a marble-topped coffee table. Large windows adorned with luxurious drapes flooded the room with natural light, offering stunning views of the manicured gardens outside.On the right side of the foyer, double doors led into a spacious dining room, complete with an ornate mahogany table that could easily seat twelve guests.

He shouted trying to hit the bathroom. He looked at his phone and saw Andrew had bombarded him with calls and messages. He was about to enter the bathroom when he heard another knock at the door. " I need a maid, a butler." He said walking downstairs in his pyjamas. " I am coming." He shouted at the top of his voice Alex opened the door and blocked the rays of the sun with his hands " How may I help you please?" He asked trying to look into the face of his visitor "My name is Henrietta Wilson. Your grandfather said you were expecting me." She replied staring at Alex whose face was rough Alex smirked seeing that his grandfather can be persistent. " Come in," he said without looking at her face Henrietta walked into the house and she was stunned by what she was seeing. The house was magn

Alex looked at who his caller was but decided not to pick up. It was Roseline calling. Henrietta smiled gently seeing that she had had her influence on Alex already and it was only a matter of time before she got a place in his heart. " will you drop me at home?" Henrietta asked, trying to shift Alex's attention away from his phone.Walking hand in hand through the busy city streets, Alex's mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. Feeling wrapped in contentment, he couldn't rid himself of the thought that Henrietta was right there with him. The presence she had seemed to give his life a clear direction and purpose."Sure, I'll drive you back," Alex responded, looking up from his phone.

The blaring sound of Alex's phone woke him up. He looked at the time and smiled softly remembering his outing yesterday with Henrietta. It was eventful and they had a lot to talk about. " Is he already having his feelings towards her when they had just only met a few times. " it must be love at first sight." He concluded by getting out of bed. Alex had been living all alone. He felt easily bored and he knew he needed maids to make his home look more lively. He went into the bathroom to have a cold shower. The feeling of not having to wait on anyone was something Alex enjoyed a lot. He could get to work anytime he pleases and do whatever he wanted. Although he did not let it get into his head. He walked out of the bathroom with a white towel tied around his waist and white rubber slippers. His phone rang and he looked at who the caller was. " Roseline," he murmured some words and looked away from his phone. He went to his wardrobe" What do I wear today?" he said, glancing through hi

Claire stood before Alex, her expression a mixture of hurt and defiance. "It's not about the money, Alex. You know that," she finally replied, her voice trembling slightly. "I'm sorry for what happened in the past, but I've changed. I want to make things right between us."Alex's anger simmered beneath the surface, but he couldn't see the sincerity in Claire's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to quell the tumult of emotions raging within him. "It's not that simple, Claire," he said, still harsh . " you think I can just forget about everything I have been through? Trust isn't something that can be easily rebuilt.""I know," Claire said earnestly, taking a tentative step closer to him. "But I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Please, give me a chance to prove myself to you."" Whatever it takes huh?"Alex hesitated, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts and emotions. He knew allowing sure back into his life was going to be a mess. Not after what she and her family had done to him
