Alex walked briskly into his room, came back with an envelope, and gave it to Paulina. She looked at him and said, "What is this?" She asked. "Open it and see for yourself," Alex replied. Paulina went through the content and saw that it was his father's last testament. "What do you plan on doing?" Paulina asked. "What do you mean by that weird question? I am going to bring all of them to justice. Everyone fucking last one of them." Alex said this with his face running red and his voice laced with anger. He didn't remember much about his parents, but he knew they loved him."Why don't you let the police do their job?" Paulina looked at him. "How do I know the police are not in on any of this? For all I know, they might have aided in covering this evil act." "How do I come in? I am sure you sort me out because you know that I can help you out with your revenge." Paulina said, gently covering her open chest and revealing her two breasts. "I need a good computer operator and a tracker.

Alex woke up the following day, and Andrew's call popped in. "You are late." His voice echoed into Alex's ears. " what?" Alex murmured, looking at the wall clock in front of him. " jeez! What is today?" He asked Andrew, rushing out of bed. "Are you awake now?" Andrew asked with a smirk. He laughed gently, hearing Alex fall. " Be careful, boss,""he said over the phone. "Just give me some hours. I will be down there with you." Alex said he was taking off his pants. " hours? I am sorry we don't have hours, Mr. Alex. The Richmonds are here, and we are officially launching the project. We need you to be here as soon as possible." Andrew replied and cut off the phone. " God! Can he stop doing that?" Alex shouted in frustration, hitting the bathtub. He quickly got dressed and looked at himself in the mirror. Alex smiled gently, seeing he was ready for the day's work. He held his head as he was about to walk to the door. He was having a hangover. The liquor he and Paulina had drunk yester

Alex looked back and saw Henrietta looking at him. He was fueled with rage. "What did I tell you? Are you stalking me right now?" He shouted in anger, making Henrietta shake visibly. She had never seen him that angry before. "I wasn't stalking you. Andrew sent me here to call you." Henrietta looked back at him, a little shaken up. " Really? I am sorry, I snapped. I was having a serious conversation with one of our business partners." Alex lied and wondered why he had to lie to her. "Tell him I would be with him soon." He said he was just picking up his phone. He looked at Henrietta as she walked out of sight and looked back at his broken phone. "Fuck!" he said, gently rubbing his hand over his hair. He walked back into the company. "Yes, Andrew, you said you wanted to see me." Alex said, gently taking a seat beside Xavier. "Oh yes. We need some of your signatures here and here." Andrew replied, touching a few spots on the contract book.Alex took out a pen and immediately signed. "

Paulina remained calm, facing Long Eye's strong gaze with a steady one of her own. "I am serious about business; I don't joke around," she responded calmly while smoking her cigarette.He observed her, his eyes narrowing while he thought about her proposal. "What type of business is being discussed?" he inquired carefully, intrigued despite his initial doubt. "And I need to be sure this won't land me in any kind of trouble." Paulina tilted slightly forward, her voice exuding confidence and persuasion. "The type of work where your abilities are appreciated and financially rewarded," she mentioned, speaking softly yet confidently. I've witnessed your skills at the table, but I think there is still untapped potential in you. "With the appropriate resources and connections, we can both gain significant advantages."Long Eye remained doubtful, but a spark of curiosity shone in his eyes. "What are your specific intentions?" he asked, his tone cautious yet curious.Paulina reclined, a sly g

Thinking about his grandfather's request and Paulina's response, Alex understood the careful equilibrium he had to uphold. Although he wasn't prepared to enter a romantic relationship with anyone, particularly due to the complicated nature of his circumstances, he recognized the significance of temporarily fulfilling his grandfather's desires. He knew Paulina had been helpful, and they were friends with benefits. He wanted to complicate that, but he was not ready to go see his father without a proper backup. "Paulina, I comprehend your reluctance," Alex started, speaking in a thoughtful manner. "I don't anticipate you to feign anything. However, I do require your assistance in handling this scenario involving my grandfather. He has been firm about me getting into a stable relationship, and Henrietta's sudden arrival makes things more complex. Can you just help out with this once?" Paulina listened carefully, her face expressionless as she absorbed Alex's words. Following a brief per

"We met at a friend's party, but we were acquainted. I was fortunate to meet with her back at the casino downtown." Alex straightened his words and looked at John, who had his mouth wiped with a clean handkerchief. "What do you like about my son?" He asked, looking at Paulina "I haven't really thought about it. I know I love him, and my heart is for him." She replied, gently placing her hands on Alex'sHenrietta read the mood and noticed, but they were playing a trick on John. "Then you don't have a problem getting married to him by the end of the week." John said it out loud with a laugh. Paulina's face changed, and he looked from Alex to his grandfather. " Marry? We are not at that stage yet." "Why not? You just said your heart beats for him. So, why not get married to yourself and be a couple?" He asked, staring at both Alex and Paulina. Alex knew he had to come clean and stop with the pranks. "Dad, I know you are watching out for me and trying to make me be put in the family

John looked at Alex and sighed. He was seeing Brandon in him. He was just exactly like his father. Not giving up even in the face of an adversary. That got him killed anyway, as he was not going to let that happen to his grandson. "Do you know why your father was killed?" He asked, looking at Alex's face. "No, this is the first time you are talking to me about him," Alex replied. "I know you found the last will of your father, and even though I don't know what is written inside, I am very sure he has everything you need to know. Alex, you are having everything go well for you. We can't just let the sleeping dog lie. There are a lot of things you don't understand." John said, looking at Alex. "It is too late because I started digging anyway. I am going to find out who killed my father and pay them back for everything." Alex girthed his teeth. "Fine, just so you know, your father was murdered. The company had a breakthrough." John said he was getting up from his seat and walking towa

Richard tied a cloth around the gunshot wound on his leg. "Get back out there and find me, Xavier. He is going to pay for what he has done." Spy looked at his face. "Are you going to be alright?" He asked with a worried look on his face. "Just find me, Xavier. That is all I want." Richard ordered Spy and his men walked out of the room, leaving Richard alone to treat himself. Richard walked gently towards the first aid box as blood dropped on the floor following him. He grabbed the kit, swearing under his breath.

Xavier picked up his phone and looked at Claire. "Make sure he doesn't go anywhere." He said it with a stern look on his face. Claire looked at him with disdain and wondered why she would be receiving orders from a man who killed her father. "What are you doing here, Claire?" Alex looked up to meet her gaze. "I am going to kill him." She replied sharply, looking at Alex, who was tired."Listen to me, Claire; whatever you think of doing has to stop. Get the police and let them know where I am." Alex looked at her, but she was bent on having things done her own way. "Don't tell me what to do, Alex. We are not a couple any more, remember?" Claire snapped The pain of losing her mother and father at the same time was unbearable. Perhaps the Wills deserved everything that was coming their way. Xavier walked back into the house. "We are having companies soon," he said with a smirk."Remind me, how did you know I was here once again?" Xavier asked and looked at Claire. "I was at the orph

Victor was just packing his things when he heard a gentle knock at the door. "Hello, who is it?" He said he was gently walking towards the door with his pistol. The door was kicked down by Joe's kick, and he was standing face-to-face with Victor. "Who are you, and what audacity do you have to kick down my door?" Victor shouted at him. " Me?" Joe asked, looking back to see if Victor was really talking down on him. "Are you Victor?" Joe asked, dipping his hand into his jacket. Victor quickly pointed the gun at him and said, "II will gun you down if you try reaching for your pocket." "You have got some balls." Joe replied, bringing out the picture to confirm if he was really standing before Victor. "You do know that everyone who betrayed Xavier Richmond doesn't leave to tell the story, so why do you?" Joe asked, and before he could finish his statement, Victor shot at him. Joe was fast; he managed to dodge the bullet and looked at Victor. "Well, you ain't as dumb as I think. Here is wh

"Paulina has the document." Alex said it with a happy face. "That is good, but don't tell me you are going to give the documents to Xavier." Andrew's face turned pale. The two men stopped talking and looked at themselves. "I haven't thought much about it. I think the fake document you gave me might come in handy, but then what would you do if Xavier knew it was a fake? Then I would be risking the children's lives for a piece of paper." Alex replied "Listen to me, Alex Davis, that document isn't just any document, and it is definitely not a piece of paper. It is a lineage of business passed to your grandfather and was supposed to pass to your father and then finally to you. The document is the secret of mining and how to make your business excel. I think you need to decide what you're finally going to do with it when it gets back into your hand." Andrew advised as he stepped outside his study room. Alex sighed, knowing what Andrew said was true. He needed a plan that could work witho

"Who has it?" Paulina asked, looking at her face. "Simon does." Henrietta replied. "Where are you meeting with him, or is this just another plan of yours?" Paulina looked at her face. The tension was high as they took their seats. Paulina immediately took out her phone and called Alex. "I think you might need to stall for some time, or better yet, come down to Maimi. It looks like Henrietta doesn't have the documents." Alex rubbed his hands over his hair gently as he listened to everything Paulina was saying. "I can't come down to Maimi at the moment. I need to sort out what is going on here." Alex replied "What about Henrietta?" Alex added "She is right here with me." Paulina replied, passing the phone to her. Henrietta shook as Alex spoke to her, and Paulina looked at her and wondered what Alex said to her. The line was cut off: "I can help you find him." Henrietta looked at Paulina. "You mean Simon?" "Yes, I know where he might be hiding." Henrietta said this again, looking a
