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
I picked up the money and stood erect, and saw my sister in law Lisa coming towards men.I clicked my tongue in annoyance.I knew she had just come to bother me , she would say something about what just happened."If I give you more money ,will you also bend down and pick it, like a lowly cleaner you are, how about I give you money to clean my shoes?" She said as she tossed more money at me and I just clenched my fists and watched her.If not that she was a woman and I didn't want to get into trouble, I would have taught her a lesson, because I was sure she was the one taking the groceries I bought for myself and tossing it in the trash.Wicked bitch."Won't you pick up the money?" She asked mockingly and I just ignored her and walked past her.I would rather walk for a thousand miles to walk than take her money."Look at how you are acting like a proud man, when you don't even have money for a cab, useless man! Take the money or your stomach will feel the pain of your stupidity." She
Different thoughts filled my head.Where?When?How did it happen and I didn't know?This can't be possible.My heart began drumming in my chest, I didn't know if it was out of fear of the answer I might find or if it was out of slowly building anger.I knew that I did not want to cause trouble in the company building or I would be thrown out, but I also needed an answer.Riley had to have a good explanation for this, or everyone in this company was going to hear about this, because I wasn't leaving without a fight.I dashed out of the restroom to confront my wife who was still talking to the employee.My wife and the employee turned to look at me, as I came out so suddenly."Get out!" I yelled at the employee while looking him straight in the eye."What?" The confused man asked in disbelief."I told you to get out!" I yelled more loudly at the person my wife was talking to.The employee flinched, turned to Riley, who was looking at Alex and scurried out of the office.Riley narrowed
During the weekend after tending to the garden, I walked in to see Riley was sitting on the couch in the living room, when a maid got a glass of orange juice for her and dropped it on the table.Riley was deep in thoughts, she didn't even see me walk into the mansion.Riley looked at the tray of orange juice and an evil smile slowly formed in her face."Are you alright?" I asked her and she snapped out of her thoughts and turned to me."When did you get in here?" She asked in surprise."Just a minute ago." I responded."Oh." She mumbled and looked away as she took another sip from her glass cup.I proceeded to walk upstairs when I saw my father in law coming, thirty minutes after I was in the room.Riley opened the door and walked in , she was holding a tray of orange juice resting on the tray.I just finished tending to the garden and had changed into comfortable clothes. I was scrolling through his phone while resting on the bed when Riley walked in and I smiled.Even though I was s
