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
The contracted son in-law "This is what I have to do! I came for business not sentiment".
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 contracted son in-law "Get out of my office!

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
The contracted son in-law meeting Juliana again
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 contracted son in-law Why show up now?
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 contracted son in-law Don't you know when to stop?
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
The contracted son in-law Caught red handed
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
The contracted son in-law Alexander's Misadventure
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

seeing Alexander again
Ryan was shocked to see Lindsay, but when he thought about it again, he didn't have to be so surprised seeing her, she was the one that he spoke to last about Juliana, and she had told him too that Juliana was blackmailing her. If he tells them everything as to what Juliana had against him, her name will surely come out, she is probably here to talk him against saying everything. She would want him to do everything and say everything, but never to mention her name, because that will destroy her chances of ever getting Damien Brick back. Unless, if she is the one that killed Juliana."Why are you here? Ryan asked her, looking around to see if anyone was watching or filming them, because Alexander seem to have eye every where, she had followed him everywhere, and have known all his moves, but still kept quiet about it.She seem to be more dangerous than Juliana, especially now that she is pregnant, but he could still see just how heartbroken she was, when she shrugged him off, and told
Ryan the suspect
Ryan was thrown behind bars, with an inmate, that looks like a monster. Ryan tries to smile at him, but he couldn't find his face, before he could find his words, he receives a harsh punch on the face, and his nose was immediately broken, he touched his nose, only to realize that he was already bleeding."What did you do that for? He cries."Why were you laughing at me? The inmate asked, coming closer to give him yet another punch, but Ryan was quick to stop him."I wasn't Laughing at you silly, I was laughing with you". "You are the silly one, how can you say you are laughing with me, when I wasn't even laughing?"Alright, I was laughing to you, the least you could do was to at least smile back, but no, you had to break my nose". Ryan explaines, almost in tears."I don't smile, so don't ever smile with me, at me or to me. Understood! Ryan nodded and looked away, he wasn't ready to receive yet another punch. "What are you in for? He asked, and Ryan ignored him. He didn't want to smil
Juliana is murdered
Annie woke up to the news, while Alexander watch with smiles. Juliana was found dead, by the pool side."This is impossible, I saw her just yesterday". Annie says, hoping to get a response from her friend, but she was just smiling, as though she was the one that drew the life out of her. Cause of death, yet unknown, as investigation is still going on, anyone who has any news should come to the police. Annie turned to Alexander to see if she has any change in her demeanor, but she remained quiet and nonchalant about it all, her looks seem to mock the dead, and if Annie hadn't been with her all through, she would have suspected that she was the one that killed her, "Alexander, why are you not saying anything? she finally summoned courage to ask. "That is because I don't have anything to say, accidents happen always, my mother died in an accident, she just had an accident and that is life". she responded, while smiling at the television screen."But it was not said, that she was involv
Bottling it up in
Juliana was not comfortable with the fact, that she didn't get the sort of money she needed, after the sale. She even had to argue with the pawn shop owner, thinking if she threatens to take her goods back, he would increase what he was offering, but to her surprise, he stuck to the initial agreement. Her boyfriend kept calling her, those she owe money, were also calling her, she needed more money, but she has seen how hard it was for Ryan to bring the things he brought out, she needed someone else, someone that would feel threatened and submit to her threats immediately. She remembered Lindsay, and started calling her again."I am on my way". Was what she said, before getting into her car again.Annie was also not comfortable about not doing anything about what she just saw, so she went back to meet the shop owner, she had expected the shop owner to ask Juliana some questions, but surprisingly, he had just collected everything without asking any questions and had paid her peanut,

There is something in her mind
Alexander stayed back in the taxi, she didn't want to come out, she had already called Steven, and told him to prolong every transaction that has to do with money, and he seem to be doing exactly that, for she could see Ryan moving around the office restlessly.I should just go in. She thought to herself. She would confront him and they could end everything, she won't even bother to listen to his story, because she has asked him severally, what the issue is, and he refused to open up. Since he isn't talking, she has found out herself, and she is not taking it lightly, but then on a second thought, she decided against it, she wanted to see how far he was willing to go. She wanted to see what he would do next, if he didn't get the money from Steven. She didn't know what they were saying, but she could see that Steve. walked out on him, and Ryan walked out too, getting into his car, and zooming off like a mad man.

"Annie, I can swear with my life, that he is cheating on me. He is not as sweet and caring as he used to, he is just too distant". Alexander cries to her friend. "Call down, it may not be what you are thinking, and remember your health first, and that if this baby, if you hurt yourself, you will hurt your child too". Annie advised, even though she just couldn't help but agree with her friend that something was up with Ryan. More messages kept coming in, and Alexander was tempted to rush to it, but Annie stopped her."What are you doing? She inquires. "I don't think you should look into those messages, I feel we over stepped, by hacking his phone that way, and even if he has sinned and done something terrible, he may never forgive you, for manipulating him that way". Alexander released her hand from the phone, and though she kept hearing the beep of the phone, alerting her that messages were coming in, she tried as much as possible not to look. Nor that she was scared that Ryan wouldn'

Alexander is pregnant
Ryan wishes he had told her , what he had in mind, before she passed out, but then again, he was kind of happy that he hadn't said anything yet. He sat at the corridor waiting for the first person that would walk out from the door. His heart won't stop panting out of fear. He thought about so many things. Had she already know the truth, and she was just waiting for me to say something? He was so confused, that he didn't know what to expect next. If she is already in the know, then he should be ready for the next line of action.While he was still waiting for the doctor's to say something to him, his phone started ringing, he swallowed hard as he watched the screen for a while then he took the cl."
