“You don't know?” Alexia asked and he sighed.“Is it because she looks like me? Or is it because you are helping your family from becoming poor? I thought you didn't care about that.” Alexia asked with tears rushing into her eyes and Alex held her cheeks, he wiped her tears and smiled at her.“Either I am with Piper or not, you will always be the only person special to me and in my heart, I don't want you to get involved in my mess, I have done a lot of terrible things over five years, I don't want you to get hurt, all I want is for you to be happy.” “Well, do you think am happy? What did you do Alex? What is wrong or going on? You can tell me.” Alex chuckled and creased her hair.“I have done a lot of terrible things, I don't want you involved in it, just live a better life, all of my wealth is based on something, my life might look okay but it's a mess. Can we not talk about this and just have breakfast?” “Are you okay?” Alexia asked looking worried and he nodded with a smile.“W
“Stop shouting or they will know where we are hiding.” Alex whispered to her and she nodded in fear.Alex corked the gun and held her hand, he turned to her and smiled at her.“Don't worry, we will be fine.” He said and she nodded.“I need you to run to that couch okay?” He asked and she shook her head.“Am scared.” She cried and he sighed.“You can do it, just run.” He said and she nodded, she ran to the couch and Alex sighed in relief. He stood up and ran after her and they shot at him, he turned to the entrance and saw some men walking in.He held Alexia’s hand and they ran down the basement.“Go out the window.” He said and Alexia did immediately, he followed her and he led her to the garage. “Come on.” Alex said and was about to enter the car but Alexia stopped.“What? What's wrong?” Alex asked.“There is no way I am going in the same car with you driving, I don't want to end up in a coma for five years again.” “Really? Do you prefer to stay here and die?” “Why are they after
Alexia sighed and sat up, she ran her hands through her hair and turned to him.“Why did you get yourself in this mess?” Alexia asked and she sighed.“I was depressed, I was really depressed, I couldn't get over you and at that moment I had feelings for piper, everything was just so crazy that I didn't know what else to do than drink and some and do a lot of bad things.” “You still drink and smoke?”“Well, drink? Yes and smoke? Once in a while.” He replied and Alexia chuckled.“You have really changed a lot.” Alexia said and he shrugged.“Hmm, I have to go now.” Alexia said and he pouted.“Don’t go.” Alex groaned and pulled her to himself, she chuckled and stood up.“You are married okay?” She said and packed her hair properly.“I miss your long hair.” He chuckled and stood up, he held her waist and pulled her into a hug.“Can I see you tomorrow?” He asked and she shrugged.“It depends.” She replied with a smile. “Let’s go.” Alex said and pulled her out of the house, they both enter
Alexia got to her room and stared at the phone Alex gave her, she went through the contact list and dialed one of the numbers there like he told her to, the phone rang and he picked up immediately.“Yes, Alexia?” He asked.“Alex, your mum has been making life so miserable for me, I want to leave this house now.” “What did she do?”“Are you seriously asking that?”“Yeah, so I would know how to react to her.“I don't need you to react or talk to her, just get me out of this house now.”“Okay, I will call you back in the next five minutes, I will get a safe house ready for you.”“What about the other one we were coming from?” “Piper knows that one.” He replied and she sighed.“Okay.” She replied and ended the car. She suddenly heard a knock on her door and flinched, she sighed and ran her hands through her hair.“Come in.” She yelled and the door opened revealing Alex's father, Alexia stood up in fear immediately and he smiled, he dropped a tiny bag on the bed and turned to her.“Hello
Alex sighed as he kept calling Alexia and the call wasn't connecting, he sighed and called his father. His father picked up immediately and he sighed again.“It worked right?” Alex asked and his father laughed.“Of course.” He replied.“And she picked the money over me?” Alex asked.“Sure.” His father replied.“Thanks, Charlie.” He muttered and ended the call, tears suddenly clouded Alex’s eyes and he increased the speed of the car immediately, he bit his lips to fight his tears but couldn't. He sighed and parked his car, he cried silently with his head bowed.“You really didn't have to leave.” He muttered and sniffed.“I was going to work things out, I was planning to.” He said and his phone beeped. He stared at the caller and slowly picked it up.“Yes?” He asked.“Dude, where the fuck are you? I heard the Russians attacked you, are you okay?” Beck asked.“Yes, I am okay. I will call you later Beck.” He said and ended the call. He breathed out heavily and leaned back on the seat.“A
FIVE YEARS LATER“Mummy!” Alexia heard a scream and she sighed in her study room, she groaned and creased her forehead.“Mum!” She heard another yell and sighed.“I will just ignore them and everything will be fine.” She muttered and continued what she was doing.“Mummy!” She heard them all yell and she flinched.“Okay.” She sighed and stood up, she walked to the living room and she sighed when she saw them pulling each other's hair and the maids trying to pull them apart. The maids noticed Alexia’s presence and they bowed before walking away.“I am here already, let go of each other's hairs.” She said and they did, they glared at each other and she sighed.“What happened this time?” She asked with a sigh and they all talked at once.“Really mum, what took you so long to get here? We could have ripped each other apart.” Austin said and she chuckled.“I thought about ignoring it.” She muttered and they glared at her.“Okay, what happened?” She asked and Lexi smiled.“Mummy, can you bel
Alexia smiled as she watched her kids eat happily.“Mum, this is so good.” Lexi said with a mouth full and she giggled.“Yeah, true.” Austin added and smiled.“Please watch them, if they ask for anything make sure you provide it for them okay? I will be in the study room.” Alexia said to the maids and they bowed.“Okay guys, a deal is a deal, see you in thirty minutes.” Alexia said and pecked their cheeks before walking back to her study room. She got there and sighed, she glanced at her computer and groaned at seeing a lot of messages. “Really?” She muttered and was about to reply when she heard a scream. She sighed and ruffled her hair.“Mummy, the deal is off, Lexi wants to kill me!” She heard Anita yell and she sighed. She chose to not reply and continued what she was doing.“Mummy!” They chorused and she smiled, she stood up and walked back to the dining room to see pasta everywhere, the maids were also covered in pasta and she sighed.“Oh, God.” She sighed and Anita giggled bef
LONDON, ENGLAND Alex sighed as he stared at his computer, he ruffled his hair and tried to control his emotions. He scrolled through it but as he feared, it was all bad news.“Fuck!” He yelled and threw it off the table, he groaned and stood up, kicked the chair, and sighed angrily. He pulled the band in his hand and sighed, he started wearing bands again four years ago.Beck suddenly walked in and sighed, Alex rolled his eyes at him and gulped down bottled water.“Really? The computer did nothing wrong to you, I mean you have broken a lot of computers here and we keep buying new ones.”“Shut up Beck! For once in your fucking life can you be serious? We are fucking going bankrupt, I have sold three of my estates because that same fucked up company in Fiji keeps stealing all our investors, I have tried to have access to the company but I am always blocked out, my dad's company is gone, the only one left now belongs to Piper's fucking dad and another one of my own, even the fucking ill
“I think we should tell mum and dad,” Lexia said as they were about to get home.“Whatever, can you guys drop me off here?” Lexi asked.“No, you are coming home with us. Mum and Ashley are so desperate to see you.” Austin said and Lexi sighed.They got home and they all walked out of the car, they walked into the house together and met only Ashley in the living room.“Lexi!” She screamed and rushed to him, Lexi chuckled and carried her, she wrapped her tiny hands around his neck and hugged him tightly.“Hey, how are you?” He asked and she sniffed.“I missed you so much, am sorry I caused... ““It is fine.” He cut her off and she giggled happily.“Ashley, where are mum and dad?” “They went out minutes ago, they said they had an emergency and I should tell you guys to not leave the house again till they get back.” “Why?” Austin asked and she frowned at him.“As I said, they had an emergency.” She scoffed had Anita laughed at Austin.“You were so dumb to understand her.” She laughed an
“But she is so pretty.” Austin groaned and they glared at him.“Hey, Anita. How about we trail her home today after school?” Lexia asked.“Am in,” Anita said.“That seems dangerous,” Austin said and they glared at him.“I will go with them.” Lexi said and they turned to him surprised.“Really?” They chorused and he nodded.“Great, you are going with us.” “What about me?” Austin asked.“You are good with girls so make her fall in love with you.” Anita said.“It is not that easy, I have to first fix my hair and my shirt and... ““Austin, we don't care about the process okay? Just get the girl.” Lexia cut him off and Anita chuckled. They heard the school bell ring and they all head to their classes. After Sharon returned to class, Austin kept talking to her and she enjoyed his company, she noticed it was kind of weird though but she remembered her mother telling her Austin is a flirt so she decided to play along. The school was finally over on that day and Austin escorted her out of t
“Oh,” Sapphire muttered and sighed.“I think I should leave now.” “You should.”“You don't have to be mean about it.”“You don't have to act like you care.” “Really?” She asked and he shrugged.“The McCalls, always a jerk.” She scoffed and stood up.“Excuse me?” Lexi asked and she rolled her eyes.“All I am trying to do is to do is to be friendly, and you keep making a big deal out of it.” “I never asked for your friendship.” He shrugged and Sapphire sighed, she walked out of the house angrily and Lexi sighed.*********Lexi heard the sound of the doorbell and rolled his eyes knowing it was Austin, he walked to the door and opened it and he was surprised to see his sisters and Austin.“Lexi,” Anita called happily and hugged him.“Of course, Austin has a fat mouth.” Lexi scoffed and pulled away from the hug.“Hey, I didn't know when I let the cat out of the bag.”They walked in and Lexia closed the door.“Does mum know you guys are here?” Lexi asked and Austin shook his head.“So, w
Lexi sat happily in the house and went through his phone, he sang along to the song he played on his phone and sighed in relief.He increased the volume of the music and danced around happily, he sang along and dance in the living room.“Really Lexi? Really?” He heard a voice behind him and he turned to see Austin.“What the fuck?” He asked and Austin sat on the couch, Lexi turned off the music and Austin smiled at him.“How the hell did you know I was here?”“Well, I just knew this morning. I kind of thought about it and I realized that dad wouldn't want to take you too far, after trailing you guys and I lost you I knew you could be in any of dad and mum’s houses so I started checking and found out it's the one close to the house.”“Whatever, don't just tell anyone.”“So when are you coming back home?”“Next week.”“Look man, am sorry for always acting like a jerk towards you, I know I keep apologizing and I keep fucking up, am sorry about that. I... ““It's fine.” Lexi cut him off a
“Alex, get him to stop, you can't take him away, Lexi doesn't even talk to us when we are living together not to talk of him living alone.” Alexia said and tears rushed to her eyes.“Dad come on, we are sorry.” Austin said.“Daddy, don't take Lexi away, I don't hate him like Anita and others do.” Ashley added and sniffed.“You are not helping Ashley.” Lexia said.“Alex, we both know if he leaves this house, he might never come back, please don't let him go.” Alexia cried and Alex sighed.“He is not going permanently, he will be back, all I want you guys to see is how your lives will be without Lexi, till then, he is staying away.” Alex said and walked out of the house. Lexi saw his father walking out and he sighed.“Get into the car.” He ordered and Lexi did. Alex drove out of the mansion and drove around the city for a while.“Dad, where are we going exactly?” He asked and Alex chuckled.“Am taking you to a house close to ours but Austin has been following us, that is why am drivin
Lexi walked down the stairs after a while and sighed when he saw Ashley sleeping on the couch with a bandage wrapped around her hand. His family was in the living room except for his father who wasn't back yet.“Is... Is she okay?” He asked and none of them gave him a response.“I didn't cut her.” He said but he got no response.Ashley slowly opened her eyes and her mother rushed to her.“Hey baby, are you okay?” She asked and Lexia helped her up.“Mummy, Lexi didn't cut me with the knife, I did by accident and it was because I was playing with the knife when I found it in his bag, I heard you guys yelling at him before I fell asleep, he did nothing wrong.” Ashley explained and they all became speechless. They turned to him and he sighed. “One of the reasons why I don't talk to you guys and I don't think I ever will.” He said and walked out of the house.“Oh, God.” Alexia muttered and ran her hands through her hair.“Why didn't you say something earlier?” Anita yelled at Ashley.“Th
Lexi walked into the house and Ashley ran to him happily.“Lexi.” She called and hugged his legs, he slowly bent to her level and he stroked her hair.“How are you?”“Am fine, Lexi.”“Okay, is it just me that an seeing this? Lexi and Ashley are getting along.” Anita said as she ate her chips.“Yes, Ashley is having a conversation with Lexi,” Austin added.“I thought he is scared to touch Ashley.” Lexia added.Ashley suddenly turned to them and giggled before opening her mouth to talk.“That is because, this morning, I was crying and Lexi hugged me... “ She trailed off as Lexi hurriedly covered her mouth with his palm.“Our little secret, remember?” He muttered and she nodded, he let go of her and she smiled.“He said I shouldn't tell anyone because it's our little secret.”She hurriedly said before Lexi could stop her again and he sighed.“Hold on, what you are trying to say is that, you had an actual conversation with Lexi?” Lexia asked.“Yes, she did because I saw it.” Alexia said wa
Sharon took in a deep breath and ran after him, she stood in front of him and he sighed.“Sorry Lexi, I am just trying to be friendly.” She said and he ignored her, he was about to walk away when she stood in front of him again.“Stay away from me!” He snapped and pushed her roughly, she fell and groaned in pain, Lexi walked away and she hissed in pain. “Such a jerk.” She scoffed and stood up, she adjusted her uniform and sighed.“Okay, let's do this the hard way.” She muttered and walked back to the cafeteria.*******The school was finally over for the day and Lexi walked to his car, his brother and sister rushed to him as he was about to enter and he gave them a questioning look.“Oh my God, mum allowed you to drive her car!” Anita yelled and he nodded.“I have always wanted to drive it but she wouldn't give me, the car is fucking dope, can I drive it, Lexi?” Austin asked.“What about the one we brought?” “Lexi will drive it, please Lexi,” Austin begged and he nodded, he gave the
HOURS LATERIt was late already and they all kept waiting for Lexi, his mother was starting to get worried but Alex kept assuring her that he will be fine. The door suddenly opened and Lexi froze on seeing them. “Oh, sorry I came late, I will go get my bags now.” Lexi said.“Yes, go get them, I will be waiting for you.” Alex said and he nodded, he walked upstairs and Anita turned to her father.“Daddy am sorry, I didn't mean what I said, I don't want him to go.” Anita said and Alex ignored her.“Dad, come on. We are sorry.” Austin said and Lexi walked down the stairs with his bags.“Alex, come on. You can actually stop him from going.” Alexia said and Alex sighed.“You all have to learn to tolerate him, if he doesn't want to talk to you then let him be, do you know how hard it is for him to control himself every time? I threw your mother across the room when I first met her, I do hit your mother, he has never hit Anita or Ashley or Lexia, he only cut you because he was annoyed and he
