"I was just hanging out with some friends," he stuttered, trying to get a hold of himself.Claire's anger grew stronger as she listened to his flustered reply. "Are you hanging out with your friends?" Can you tell me the time? "Why do you have those costly accessories?" Approaching nearer, her tone filled with irritation.Benjamin squirmed uneasily, dodging Claire's piercing stare. " I am here to assist you. So you had better tell me everything." He muttered that he had borrowed them from a friend, with his eyes nervously flickering.Claire looked suspicious with her brows furrowed. " Did you borrow them? From whom? And for what reason?" She spoke in a commanding manner, giving no opportunity to avoid it.Benjamin paused, his thoughts quickly searching for a believable reason. "Oh, simply... a friend I know from school. He allowed me to borrow th

Claire was short of words and didn't know what to say. Charlotte was nothing but a parasite. She has fed off her when she was daring Henry Walker then. Henry would send her a substantial amount of money each time he visited but now that she needed her mother's help, she was proving too hard to crack. " Benjamin is involved in some kind of trouble. The money is not for me so don't you think for a minute this has to do with me. We need to get him out of this mess or this will come back to hunt both of us." Charlotte raised her eyebrows and looked at Claire and back at Benjamin. " What have you gotten yourself into again? I am sick and tired of cleaning after you. You should do something valuable with your life. How much is the money you are talking about?" She asked, chewing gum like some harlot.Claire breathed deeply, attempting to stay composed despite feeling increasingly frustrated by her mother's lack of understanding. "Mother, it's a significant quantity," she responded, with a

Henrietta looked back at Alex, " He is just a friend and nothing more. " Hello, how are you doing honey? Did you just forget all about me? I thought I told you how sorry I was and I wanted us to get back on track together. I know I messed up pretty bad, but I would be glad if you could give me another chance. " Simon Roddy said with a bent knee. Alex said nothing but simply entered his car and zoomed off.Henrietta looked at Simon and bit her lower lips. She knew she would have to work hard to gain Alex's trust now. She rushed inside the house and went straight to Lucas. " Did you call him and asked him to come over here?" She shouted in anger. Her voice could almost bring down the house. " How dare you meddle in my relationship." Simon walked closer to her and placed his hands on her shoulder. " I know we ended things on rough terrain but can you please give me a chance again? I mean us. I can be the man you dream of and get you the things you have always wanted. " Simon pleadedThe

Henrietta quickly called Alex's grandfather and told him what had happened since he was the one who suggested them being together. " I have tried calling him but he isn't returning my calls. I am sorry that he had to find out about my ex that way " she said sobbing over the phone. " Hush, I will talk to him and he will listen to me. Just make sure that this doesn't repeat itself. " John Davis said over the phone. Henrietta giggled as she dropped her phone. She would have dated John Davis himself if she had to. She knew Alex would be difficult and didn't even know how long it was going to take before she could get the document she needed from him.Alex walked into his home and looked around. It was empty, he walked up the stairways into his room. He quickly had a cold bath. His thought went back to what happened that day and decided to go out and have fun.

You surely don't expect me to babysit you. Do you?" Paulina asked staring at Alex. She walked away from him as Alex called her name gently. " Don't worry, just have some fun. You will be fine." She shouted at himAlex went to the bar and decided to have more drinks. His phone rang and he saw it was Henrietta again. He decided to have his phone switched off but later left it on.

"The bald barman replied with a smile, " I haven't been seeing you around here. Did you just move into town? " Alex sipped his drink " No actually, I just moved into my new house."

The clanging sound in his head woke him up the following day. Alex managed to walk out of bed to the bathroom. He staggered slightly like he was going to fall. He looked at the mirror in front of him and saw how messy he looked. “ I should seriously consider abstaining from alcohol, it doesn't suit me." Alex had a quick bath and prepared himself a hangover soup. He looked at his phone as messages kept popping in. He decided to read through the message that kept popping through yesterday. He saw his grandfather's message asking him to see him when he was done with the day's work. He quickly dressed and was ready for work. He locked the door and drove out of the house. His mind went back to the reason why she didn't pick up her calls. Alex strolled into the company as many of the staff bowed their faces to the earth each time he passed through them. He entered his office and sank into his chair. The door opened and Andrew walked in. " I tried getting a hold of you yesterday but you

Henrietta experienced a rush of feelings as Alex's question lingered in the atmosphere. She felt her heart beating rapidly, and momentarily, she was unable to speak. Henrietta was caught off guard by the abrupt question, given their past interactions and the complications in their relationship. She calmed herself with a deep breath before meeting Alex's eyes, feeling a blend of doubt and fragility. She started speaking, her voice gentle but determined, saying that love is a complex emotion, Alex. "It's not a concept easily explained or comprehended, and it can develop and transform as time progresses."She took a moment to collect her thoughts before resuming. I have strong feelings for you, Alex. You have grown to be a significant presence in my life, and I hold high regard and admiration for you in various aspects." She said calming trying to win Alex over with her sweet talks. She knew he loved her already but wasn't sure what he was feeling. "However, love is an aspect that we m

Alex smiled as he closed the door behind her. He took out his phone and was about to call Andrew when he saw his grandfather's call. " Hello sir""Hey son, I have good news for you." He said with a hint of happiness in his voice. " Good news?" Alex muttered taking a seat on the couch before him. " What is it about Grampa?" He asked picking his teeth. " What do you think about being engaged to Henrietta?" " Engaged? We haven't even gotten to that level yet. I barely knew anything about her and she even had a boyfriend she had decided to keep a secret from me. So engaging with her right now is not something I would want to do. She looks like she has some skeleton in her cupboard. She is hiding something from me Grandpa and I am going to figure out what it is." Alex said with a serious face " Alex Davis." John said solemnly "You have to take things easy, I know you are having issues trusting people but relax. Henrietta wants nothing but your interest at heart just give her a chance."
