Later that evening, Alexander decided to leave aunt Mercy's house, for her house, she was thinking of Emily all through, and she didn't want her to be alone again.After she left, aunt Mercy called Ryan. She should speak to him first, before Alexander speaks to him.Ryan's heart pounded as he stared at the phone, his hands trembling slightly. He just finished speaking with Alexander's aunt, the woman who held more sway, over Alexander's decision, than anyone else. Her voice had been calm, yet firm, offering him a glimmer of hope in which felt like an endless night of despair. He knew this was his chance to make things right, but the weight of his mistakes, pressed down on him like a leaden cloud.Ryan had barely slept, since the incident at Juliana's apartment. The image of Alexander's face, filled with doubt and hurt, haunted him. His mind replayed the moment he saw Juliana beside him in bed, the horror of realization sinking in that he had been drugged and manipulated. The thought o
Staring blankly at the floor, as he sat on his bed, he allowed his heart to beat fast, as Aunt Mercy's words still echoed in his mind. A reminder of her words, stirred something deep within him, a mixture of wisdom and challenge. There is no way he could just give up like that, this was a fight, and Alexander was worth all the fight.He would fight for her, even if that was the last thing he does. Juliana cannot come and destroy what he had tried to build. He cannot let Juliana's manipulations, get in the way of his feelings.He nodded his head, agreeing with her, that she was right. He couldn't let this end like this, not without a fight. The relationship between them have been something he had never really anticipated, he beat his chest, telling himself the truth. He loves her, and she was worth everything, just telling himself isn't enough, she needs to be reminded of what they shared, the moments shared and what it meant to him and he is sure, it meant the same to her. With dete
After receiving his message, she quickly opened it. She have actually been waiting to hear from him, somehow, she wants him to convince her beyond reasonable doubt that he is still with her. So as she sat on the edge of her bed, her phone resting in her palm like a weight she wasn't sure she could bear. She thought of all she had read. Ryan's message had come through just minutes ago, but it felt as if the words were crawling through her veins, wrapping themselves around her heart in a slow, and steady grip.Her first instincts was to ignore, even though she have wanted to hear from him. She had also thought of blocking him severally, but that wouldn't give her the peace she craves, but something about wanting to hear from him, tugged at her. She found herself reading it again, every word pulling her further into the memories she had tried so hard to suppress. She even smiled at some point, because his words felt like he was standing close to her, and speaking to her heart. Her fing
Upon reaching her father's house, she noticed her father was receiving medication, he seem stressed and sick. She was surprised, because her father have never been sick. Her step brother was there, he looked scared too. She waved at him as though they are strangers. He had never really been friends with her, even while she was living in the same house with him, all those years when she used to lock herself up, he never for once, cared to know what was going on with her, instead, he was always with his mother, surely scheming on how to steal, but since his mother was exposed, and sent away, he seem to come out more. She even heard, he had started working at one of the Damien Brick companies."What happened? She asked, not particular asking him, but Derick answered."I was in the house, and he just slummed and here we are". Alexander stared long at him, before shocking him with her angry response."I was not asking you Derick". Damien opened his eyes, and tried to control the chao
Alexander called Annie immediately, asking her to come to the house, as she didn't want to leave Emily all by herself. Annie as usual, was willing to see her friend, and she came after few hours, she came with her things for a sleep over, as she would leave for work the next day, from her house.The house she once visited, that was full of life, was now very empty, with silence.She stood outside for a while, before pressing on the door bell. Alexander had sounded urgent on the phone, so she is as desperate as the voice she had heard."Annie we need to talk, something is not right, I will call my aunt later to find out what she figured, but I have to do my own work too".Hey, slow down, I don't understand a thing you just said, start from the begining". She says, relaxing on the couch. "Okay, so I told you I got a call from my dad, about his health right? She asked and Annie nodded. "So I went to the house, and I met Derick, but he isn't really the problem. While I was speaking with
Ryan went back to the Damien Brick Mansion, and delivered the parcel directly to Damien, but his shock was finding Lindsay there, laying on the bed next to Damien.He wanted to ask him what she was doing with him, but he decided against it, but she is going to be another nightmare for him, especially the connection they had together a night before his wedding to Alex. Roll now he doesn't know how to tell her about that night, and how she is going to react to the news, when he finally tells her. All he knows is that, he is going to have to try and tell her, no matter how hard it sounds.Damien got up, and held Ryan by the hand, as they walk out together. They are finally alone, and if he wants to ask him what he is doing with Lindsay, he should ask him already, But Damien started."I know what you are thinking, but you may not understand now, until the time is right, but thanks for this document. A lot is happening, and I need you to get your acts together, come back with your head to
Ryan finished late, and took the documents to Damien. fortunately for him, he was alone. "You have done a great job without asking questions, I really appreciate". Damien says to him. "I have questions sir". Damien smiles, for he expects him to at least ask. He had been asked to do a dirty job, of going to companies he knows nothing about to steal documents he knows nothing of, he needed to ask questions."Ask your questions ". Damien says."Why do I have to go to these companies to steal documents, and why do you have a mole in all the companies? Damien knew that is what he would ask, his Joy is that, he had done all of it, without asking questions at first. He obeyed before complain, showing he is an obedient son in-law. He could trust him."Those companies are all mine. Ryan. You don't have to say anything to Alexander, at least not for now, we still have more to retrieve". Ryan was all the more confused."I was the one that told Derick to tell his mother that I was sick, I want
"She planned it all, everything, that have happened, have been masterminded by her, from the very first day. I cannot believe I was so available for her to use me like that". He says, looking down. There was nothing more to explain to her, she could see everything already, just from what Emily have said. "I should have known, she is incapable of love, and there was no way, she could have carried a child in her womb for nine months. She doesn't even love herself, how then can she love someone else? Alexander didn't know what to say. All her aunt Mercy have said to her, was begining to make sense now. She had told her that not all happen the way she sees them, and that things and situations are viewed differently, depending on the angle one is viewing from, but she still needs to know he was seen on the bed with her.He looked up at her, and she could see through him. He was going through pain, and she could only hope, that she isn't about to make a huge mistake, believing him. The baby
