Alex slowly slid his tongue into hers, kissing and caressing her gently. "Alex, we are in the office," Paulina said in between moaning under his soft touch. "My office, my rules, remember?" Alex said it with a smile on his face as he cleared the table. He walked back to Paulina and carried her down to the table. "Tell me to stop if you don't want this." Alex looked at Paulina's face, and her look gave her out. Alex kissed her gently on the neck and traced it down to her skirt.

"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?"

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
