Looking straight into Lindsay unwavering eyes, Ryan demanded that she sits comfortably, because his questions will be long, and will need her to answer him, so that as a family, they could find out what is really happening. Ryan made her feel he was speaking with her in a friendly manner, but that was because of the presence of Damien Brick who seem to be loving every bit of what he was doing.Ryan loving the look on Lindsay's face, he brought out the files he had with him, his files are nearly stacked, he had actually walked into the bosses office prepared while he was going through his files, Lindsay wore a confident smile, but one could always tell that she was scared. And the way Damien was looking at her, she could feel her confident wavering. Lindsay was trying really hard to maintain her composure, especially since her husband was very much around, and was not giving her the lovey dovy eye, he was giving her the suspicious look."Like I said, I have been reviewing the expen
Ryan walked back straight into his office, expecting to find an empty office, but he was surprised to find Damien Brick in his office, and he dropped a key on his table.Ryan looked shocked at him, wondering what the key is for, and he smiles, before saying. "This is officially your car key to the Royce parked outside". Though he would have preferred the small car he had been driving, he remembered that he had told himself that what he came to do is work, and he wouldn't add sentiment to it. He doesn't know how everyone would feel, when they find out he had sex with Lindsay a night before his marriage to Alexander, they may not listen to him, they may push him away, and he might be left with nothing, so he needed to be smart, to acquire, all that is needed, before the contract ends, if for nothing, for the sake of his father."Thank you sir". He says, and Damien handed him the papers to the car, and his name was boldly written on every document."I will be leaving now, thank you onc
The next day looked promising, for when he visited his father before leaving for work, he looked brighter than he had been the previous day. It encouraged Ryan to work more, that whatever the Brick family was giving to his father to help him get well, they needed to continue, so that he recovers fully.He left for work, feeling happy.But when he got to work, he didn't feel the usual welcome vibe he got the other day, Something was definitely off. Everyone was looking at him like he didn't something wrong, more like they don't know him, as he walked in slowly into his office after parking his car, he walked slowly into his office, wondering why everyone was staring at him as such, but since he doesn't know so many people yet, he didn't know whom to ask about what was going on. The look they were giving him was worrisome.When he got to his office, he was even scared to sit down, he looked around him and those that are supposed to be working, were busy, looking at him like he had som
Annie stared long at the closed door, before looking back at her friend. "Somehow, I think he is sincere. what if someone is trying to frame him? She asked and Alexander eyed her. "Who would want to frame a poor boy like him. He has nothing, his parents have nothing, he was born into a poor family and only agreed to this marriage because he needs money, so his type, can never be satisfied, he would always want more. He has nothing, so why will anyone, frame a duns? She had a point, since the marriage was a contract, he is in her life for the money and the benefits, so there is no way, he wouldn't want to do any other thing to get more money, even if it is to show the world, the part of Alexander, that she didn't want the world to see."But why didn't you destroy the picture, after the other surgeries? Annie asked, wondering why anyone would want to keep something, she herself doesn't want to see."I didn't want to keep it, but that image had a bracelet in it. It belonged to my mother,
The anger in his heart was melted down immediately, when he reached the house, and sees that she was actually nursing his father, for he was coughing profusely, that he even coughed blood. She didn't seem to notice him, it was his father that noticed him standing by the door, and called out to him, before she turned to look at him, but she looked away immediately. She administered his pills, and soon he was relaxed. "Where is your nurse Dad? Ryan was more worried about that, as he took a step inside, and shut the door, it is already too late for their doors to still be opened."When Juliana came, and said she would spend the night here, the nurse decided to go and attend to some personal problems, but she will be back tomorrow, you don't have to worry, she was with me since morning". Ryan sighed with relief, for he would have asked questions, wondering already, if they stopped the nurse.After a few more minutes, Mr Scott was sleeping and snoring loudly, it is just an hour to midni
The next day at work. Ryan lay his head on the desk, and flashed back to what happened the previous day.It was sad that Damien also thinks he could do such a thing. Somehow, he wished his father isn't involved, he wish he could just walk away from the contract, but he couldn't, unless it was coming from Damien himself, there was no way, he could watch and allow his father go to Jail, for something he could do on his own, his mother would laugh at him, and Julianna would never stop laughing. After the days work, Ryan wanted to see Damien for the last time before going home, for he doesn't know how to act or what to do, but as soon as he got close to the office, he could hear them having a heated argument, about him. Ryan was frustrated. The fact that he is in the middle of it all, was tiring. "Dad, you cannot possibly mean that? How am I supposed to live in the same house with a man like that? Alexander was crying, while Lindsay was furious. She had never liked Alex, and they had ne
His slumber was interrupted by an angry Alexander. "Are you sleeping in the office now? Ryan got up almost immediately, and wiped his face. The thought of the previous incidents have been pressing on him. "You don't have any shame. You even have the guts to sleep out with your girlfriend. You exhausted yourself, and now, all you can do is sleep here?". She sounded angry, but before he could say anything, Damien walked in, looking angrier. With his first finger pointed at him, he warns."You signed a contract Ryan, but you have been pushing me terribly these days, I wouldn't want to loose my temper with you, so please, respect our contract. I know you don't love my daughter, but bringing your girlfriend to your house, after what you did to my daughter, What exactly was it for? To celebrate her sorrows, or is it another slap to her face? He was raising his voice and those left at the office, were listening, but acting like they were not. What was supposed to be kept secret is now kno
With the thought of what she had seen in mind, Alexander finally went to sleep. It wasn't easy falling asleep, because she kept turning and tossing and wondering if she had misunderstood Ryan, and accused him wrongly. And if the paparazzi guy had been lying or telling the truth? As she finally gave in to sleep, she noticed.The sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow. Alexander stirred, a contented smile playing on her lips as fragments of her vivid dream lingered in her mind. She stressed lazily, feeling an unusual sensation of warmth and satisfaction. She finds herself smiling and not ready to get up from bed, but then, with a start, she bolted upright in bed."Oh no". She gasped, glancing at the clock. The red digits flared back at her: 8:45 Am. "I'm late! But didn't I just fall asleep? She asked rhetorically.Alexander tumbled out of bed, her limbs entangled in the sheets. She stumbled towards the bathroom, her mind racing. It had
