It was the closing hour, and Alex and Mr. Davis were the first to depart from the office. Other staff were shoving their belongings into their bags. Claire entered her car and hurriedly rushed home with her face etched with pain and anxiety after being demoted. She wasn’t happy with what happened to her today at the office. She has no idea how to tell her parents about Alex.She was still thinking about the incident that unfolded before her, How Henry was humiliated and how she was also humiliated by the man she sent away.She finally got home after a few minutes of driving, she angrily slammed her car door as she ambled into the house. Her eyes were puffy, she had cried a lot. firstly, was after the death of her daughter and secondly, was after being humiliated by her ex-husband Alex.She met her mother, Mrs. Charlotte, who sat comfortably on the couch close to the television in the living room, and her eyes were glued to the TV. When Claire walked in, she sauntered towards her daug
Alex got back home and was still not used to being a billionaire. He looked around the mansion and tears welled his face. Andrew looked at him " Is everything alright young master?" He asked to get his briefcase. " I am fine, Andrew. Thank you."" You are welcome. What will you be having tonight?" He asked looking at his face " No, I am not hungry. I will just take a shower and go to bed." Alex replied waking like he would fallAndrew noticed it and rushed towards him as he broke down in tears. He patted him on the back "Everything is alright now. What we all need to do is move forward and forget all about the past." He said comforting, AlexBut he wasn't ready to forget the last just yet. The oan he went through, the hate, the hurtful words, and the ridicule were a constant reminder of the life he had lived for the last couple of years. Andrew noticed he was sober and decided to live with him. " Can I have a glass of wine?" Alex asked staring at Andrew who was not sure letting him
[ TING! ]It was a strange number Alex decided not to pick up. His phone rang again and he picked it up in a tipsy manner. " Hello, please who am I speaking with?" The line was silent for some time before a female voice spoke " My son, I am sorry for the way we have treated you." Charlotte's voice was heard at the other end of the phone Alex didn't wait for her to finish before he cut the line off and slammed the phone on the floor. " Ah!." Ruth exclaimed fearfully " I am sorry if I had startled you. It wasn't my intention." Alex replied walking to the house. Ruth looked at how a sweet young man could turn violent within a space of a short time Alex walked into his room and landed on the bed. He closed his eyes as he drifted into sleep. The voice of his daughter woke him up. The sun penetrated his room and he used his hand to guard the rays of the sun from entering his eyes. He looked at the time on the wall of his room." Jeez, I am late." He said gently walking into his bathro
The real estate agent on the other end of the line confirmed the value of Roland's mansion. Alex listened intently, his anger simmering beneath the surface. As he hung up, he looked at Roland with a cold determination in his eyes. It was evident that he meant whatever was going to happen "You think you can just cast me aside after all I've done for you?" Alex seethed. "Well, Roland, I hope you enjoyed living in this mansion because it's not going to be yours for much longer," he said looking at him with anger Roland laughed dismissively, "You're bluffing. What could you possibly do?" he replied looking at his wifeAlex smirked, "You're about to find out." He turned and walked away, leaving Roland and his wife bewildered on the doorstep.Back in the car, Andrew noticed the fire in Alex's eyes. "What's the plan, sir?" he asked, curious about the unfolding drama."We're going to make Roland pay for what he did to me," Alex declared a vengeful resolve in his voice. "And we're starting w
" What is it, mother?" Claire asked with her hand akimbo. " I just got a message from Gourmet Garden Restaurant. Your father and I just got sacked." Charlotte said over the phone in a sober voice " What! Are you sure?" Claire asked with her eyes wide open. They had just been scammed by Sydney Coleman and this happened again. " I think there is only one person who can do this to us." She said with a sad voice " Alex," Charlotte said at the end of the call. " We need to seek his forgiveness, mother. I hope he forgives me. I told you I loved him but all you ever cared about is your selfish gains. I bet you are reaping every bit of your actions." Claire slammed it at her mother " You dare talk to me that way? I wasn't the one to get pregnant with another man's child. That is all on you. I don't know how you are going to fix this but I want my job back." Charlotte shouted at her daughter over the callClaire looked at her phone and cut the call. She looked up trying to hide the tears o
" You know where to find me," Ruby replied hanging up the callHe looked at Henry who was seated right in front of him. Here is an offer for you." He dropped a paper right in front of Henry to be signed Henry picked it up and glanced through the details "It says that I have to work for about three months before I can be paid in full. That is going to be a little difficult." He said dropping the paper back onto the table " Well, since you don't want my offer, why don't you go into the street in search of a job? I am sure you are going to find a lot of job offers." Rubby replied, getting up to his feet" I will take it," he said, making him stop halfway across the big mansion. Ruby liked back and a sinister smile played on his lips. He had been trying to get back at John Davis and now he was having the chance too. Recruiting some of his former staff was the best way to beginHe looked at Henry as he penned his signature on the contract paper. " I expect you will be working with me sta
Roland opened the door to find two men dressed in suits before him " Morning to you Mr Roland." they both said with a smile " Morning, how can I help you please?" He asked without a shirt on. " We are sorry to tell you that we need you to vacate the premises before the end of the week." One of them replied adjusting his glasses " What do you mean to vacate the premises? This is my home and you can't tell me what to do." He shouted at them " We are sorry to tell you this but the owner just aided us twice the money you paid. We would be returning your money to you and would advise you to leave the premises or we would take legal action against you. You have until the weekend to leave." They both walked out on his as Roland shouted running after themAlex got out of his car and walked towards the men as they shook hands and he collected some files from them. " Thank you very much," Alex said beaming with a smile "What did you do? Huh? You think you can just come here and chase me out
" Hello Mr Alex, we are sorry to tell you that Mr Roland burnt down the house. What do you want to do sir? Should we have him arrested?" Alex walked out of the meeting and went out of the compound. He saw Rith and his mind went back to the promise he made to her. " How bad is it?" he asked with his hand akimbo" The house is razed down by the fire but it can be fixed." the voice replied " Alright, get to work. Send me the details of whatever you will be needing. And please, I want the house ready in a month." He said with his gaze fixed on Ruth Ruth looked back and saw him staring at her, she bowed. " Good morning Mr Alex." She said with a smile on her face " Morning Naomi. How was your night?"" Fine." " Make sure you see me by the end of today to finalize your admission process into Rochester University. I will be needing a little of your time today." Ruth covered her mouth in surprise and shouted. Alex went back into the building and was met with his grandfather's gaze " Is
