Riley pov:What is wrong with this judge?“What is the meaning of that? How do you mean that I should pay him two million dollars the last time I came here, you told me to pay one million dollars now I told you his wife also insulted me, so why are you telling me to pay him money?” I asked in disbelief. What is going on here? Why is this judge always ruling against me?I am the woman and I was the one who got humiliated and I said nothing and she decided to rub salt in my open wound so why am I the one who is asked to compensate my ex-affair partner.“If you speak back at me again I will hold you in contempt of this court.”The judge glared at me.“But..”“That's enough you will sleep in jail if you continue." My lawyer advised me and I gasped in shock. I don't know if it is just me overthinking but I think that this judge has something against me ,because why would he always rule against me and rule in favor of the man?This is just too much. I was wondering if Alex had a hand in th
Alex pov:Life was very good for me and having such an amazing and supportive mother was just the best that anyone could wish for.I have gotten a lot of supporters after I settled the matter of Harry corporation. I was in my office signing some documents when my phone rang and I saw it was my mother and I happily answered the call.“Good afternoon Mom, what can I do for you?”I asked happily. “Can you come to my office immediately? There is something I need to talk to you about.”She said.Her voice sounded a bit stiff and I could tell that she was upset so I ended the call quickly. I rushed to meet her in her office and when I went there I could tell she was upset and not happy.“What happened Mom ,you sounded a bit worried on the phone?” I asked in concern. “The CEO of Harry Corporation sent something to me and he told me that if I threaten him again when he releases the products, he will release my private pictures online,”She said.“What are you talking about?”I asked. She did
Alex pov:I just did not want anything that would hurt my mother so if you want to continue selling the products he should.“So you have finally learnt your lesson and know you are not supposed to mess with me.”He chuckled.“Well I learnt that you used to work for my father. I just wonder why.”I told him. “You wonder why?”He asked me in confusion. “Why did you let your daughter treat me that way and why did your family treat me that way if you were such good friends with my father and had a close relationship with him,”I said.I cannot still understand why he would treat me so badly when he was an employee of my father and it made me wonder if my father treated him badly as well.It was as if he was taking out the anger and frustration he should take out on my father on me who was innocent.“How I behave is none of your business ,you should mind your business.”He warned me.“I'm just asking because I know nothing about my father,”I told him. I just wanted to know why he would treat
Riley pov(Alex's ex wife):I was in my room reading a book because that was the only thing I could do right now to calm myself down from all that what's happening and I didn't not want to think too much about it.There was banging on the door and I heard a maid's voice.“Miss Riley please come downstairs, your father is looking for you.”She said. Just as if it was on cue as she said those words my father began yelling.I don't know what he was yelling about but it must not be good since I could hear his voice from upstairs when he was downstairs I got up from the bed and headed out of my room to meet him. It was a bad idea to keep him waiting when he was this angry.My mother ,my younger sister ,me and my father were downstairs and my father began the interrogation.“Who deleted those pictures on my phone on my study computer?”He asked as he was pacing up and down.“What pictures are you talking about?” my mother asked because we did not know what he's talking about.“Someone delet
Alex pov:After the private pictures problem ended my mother called me to her study to talk.“Alex, now that it has been brought to light that your ex-father-in-law was your father's bodyguard I think there's something I need to tell you as well.”She said. “What do you need to tell me?”I asked. “Your ex-father- in-law is currently ruling your father's company,”She said. “What are you talking about that I don't understand?”I asked.“Harry corporation is your father's company. I don't know what happened but I think that your ex father in law Mr Harry is illegally controlling that company because I do not think your father will ever give his company to anybody willingly or put it in a will and not give it to you.”She said.“Wait, are you saying that my ex-father-in-law's company is my father's company?” I asked in disbelief. “Yes it is.” Diana confirmed.“Why didn't you tell me this from the start?” I asked her because this was big news and she should have told me when we met. “Tha
Alex povI arranged for some lawyers to hold a press conference and then I took my father's lawyer and he went to the press conference and the lawyer told the truth about Harry corporation, and how he bribed him to say that he was the one who was in my father's will to take over my father's company, and he also told the press that he would kill his family if he did not do all this ,so he had no other reason but to accept.After the interview I also give all the information to the police that Harry forged my father's will, bribed the lawyer and did all that things that the lawyer had evidence for and it was all handed to be police and the media got wind of this and it was blowing up and they began going to Harry corporation to ask for what was happening.Mom and I were chilling at home on the couch watching the tv , as we were enjoying watching Harry struggle to explain himself to the police and media.“So you finally found a lawyer?”Mom asked.She was very happy that all this problem
They say that a poor man has no say in how the world treats him.I didn't want to believe it and wanted to stand firm on my belief, but life doesn't always work out the way you want it.Life always slaps you in the face with a sickening reality.The sky was bright and the scorching sun burned the skin of the man, who was tending to the garden.I was that man, disregarded and unwanted.I shouldn't be out in this hot sun for any damn reason, because it was literally burning my skin ,but the madam of the mansion, my dear mother in law, was dissatisfied with my earlier work.She practically yelled at me to get out of the house ,she said I didn't do a proper job tending to the garden, so I had to redo it all or I won't be allowed to eat this afternoon in peace and I knew I won't have peace of mind today, I couldn't afford to let that happen, since I just wanted to go to my room and rest.I was so focused on trimming the garden that I didn't pay attention to the scorching sun or the sweat b
I shook my head to get rid of the intrusive thoughts.I can't leave my wife here to go in search of money and I can't work for someone else when my in law's company is successful, they might think I want to sell their business strategies to others.I should just forget it and be content with what I have now.I took in a deep breath and exhaled."Alex, just calm down, you can't do anything." I muttered to myself.I walked to the back of the mansion and got into the house through the back door.I proceeded to take a bath at the restroom close to the entrance of the back door of the mansion. I grabbed a trouser and shirt he saw hanging on the rank and wore it.This restroom is the one that the maid and butler mainly use, so it must be one of their clothes.I just wanted to wear this and get to my room, then I can change into my own clothes and wash this clothes and dry it and leave it back where I saw it.I knew that even though I took a bath ,if he wore my own clothes and Lisa or Mrs Ha
