"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
The door opened slightly, and Alex walked out. He looked around and was surprised he couldn't find Henrietta. "Where did she go to?" He asked, looking at Paulina, who was enjoying her dessert. "I don't know. She said she had an unfinished business of sorts. I didn't want to pry." Paulina replied, "Want some?" She said it with a smile. Alex walked to her and simply ate out of the one on her lips. Paulina smacked him on the shoulder and looked at his face. "Every chance you get, Your grandfather is watching." Paulina said, looking a little embarrassed.Alex saw the look on her face and smiled. "I didn't know you were scared of people. You always look bold. I can believe you are scared of an old man." He mocked her, making Paulina's face blush."I am not scared; I am just trying to be a decent girl," Paulina replied. " Really? A woman who had sex without any strings attached." Alex said with a smile, and he received yet another smack.John looked at them and smiled. He knew Alex was in
The gentle, warm glow of the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, illuminating Alex's bedroom. Alex rubbed his eyes gently upon waking up, he had a determined expression on his face, prepared to confront the upcoming challenges. Today was the day he would start digging into the death of his parents. Today was the day he would start uncovering the secrets of his family's history. He yawned lazily looking into the mirror right in front of him. Following a speedy shower and a satisfying breakfast, Alex made his way to the office, filled with thoughts of plans and strategies. Upon entering his office, Andrew welcomed him with a cup of hot coffee."Morning, Alex." Andrew smiled as he handed over your coffee."Thank you, Andrew. Were you able to get the message to Mr. Dickson sent out? Alex inquired, sipping on the warm drink."Yes, sir" Andrew confirmed that he sent the invitation for a company meeting this morning.Fantastic. "Let's make sure we're ready for him," Alex said
Alex couldn't help but feel a little agitated, he was now dealing with people who he thinks has a hand in the death of his parents. He looked at the laptop in front of him and decided to Google some of his father's research. Alex was surprised to stumble upon an old picture of him snapping with Richard Dickson and Xavier Richmond. He looked at the picture and read the article under it. It seems the trio were into the gold mining business together. Alex sighed, his grandfather was right. They must have killed him to find the final resting place of the treasure. Alex knew he had to get to know Xavier Richmond too. He must be left alone despite him trying to covet the company for himself He sends a message to Paulina asking her to make sure Long Eyes digs up everything that is needed to know about Xavier Richmond.Alex's phone beeped and he looked it up to see Paulina's message. " On it." Alex sank into his chair as he sipped his coffee. He relaxed and wondered what other factors wou
While standing in the bathroom with the shower still running, Alex's mind was filled with thoughts about his next steps. Sydney Coleman, the individual who deceived Will's family out of their wealth, had at last been located. This marked a pivotal juncture in Alex's pursuit of justice for his family and for his revenge against the Wills family. "Andrew, I want you to collect as much information as possible about Sydney Coleman—where he is currently, his possessions, everything," Alex directed, with a determined tone in his voice."Mr. Alex, you can consider it accomplished." "Without delay, I will start working on it," Andrew responded with assurance.Alex entered the shower and felt the warm water flowing over him, but his thoughts were somewhere else. He couldn't rid himself of the burden of responsibility weighing on his shoulders. Recovering the money stolen by Sydney Coleman from Will's family was essential, but he was also determined to use the money to his advantage. He was go
Alex and Henrietta found themselves in front of Sydney Coleman's modest but well-maintained house, situated in a peaceful neighborhood. The sunset was starting, enveloping the area in a gentle light while they pondered their next step."Okay, Henrietta, let's continue carefully," Alex directed, his tone serious but resolute. "We must proceed cautiously to make sure we recover the stolen items from the wills without any issues."Henrietta concurred with a nod, her eyes mirroring the resolve seen in Alex's gaze. Side by side, they advanced towards the entrance, taking deliberate and determined steps.Before Alex could knock, he raised his hand, and the door swung open, revealing a middle-aged man who looked puzzled."May I assist you?" the man asked, observing Alex and Henrietta with interest.Alex started with a steady voice, "Sir, good evening." We are here to have a discussion with Sydney Coleman. Is he around?" Alex asked, looking at the woman before him.The man's face changed, his
The Will family was thrown out into the street. Claire looked at Charlotte and fumed with anger. "I told you something like this was bound to happen! You spent the money Rubby Green had given, and now we are stuck." She looked at her mother, who looked at her and didn't know what to say. Charlotte had spent the money given on material things. "Maybe we should go back to him. I am sure Ruby would be more than happy to help." "You think? After the money he had given to us, Claire shouted at her. Claire was enraged and couldn't believe Alex would do that to them after she had tried apologizing to him several times. They hailed a taxi and were driven to Rubby's large house. Mrs. Will nervously tapped on the door of Rubby's grand house, her heart filled with doubt and anticipation. The feeling of guilt and regret for the situation they were in lingered with her. Claire stood next to her, exuding frustration, as Charlotte put on a mask of fake confidence to conceal her nervousness.Follo
