“I told you this was a bad idea, Alexia.” “Will you shut the hell up and let me think? How was I supposed to know she would start acting like me?” Alex sighed and Alexia bit her lip as she thought of what to do.“Look, I couldn't come up with anything, no matter what, don't get attracted to her, always know that she is Piper Miller and she will always be that and not me.”“But she smells so much like you.” “Jeez Alex, don't be such a baby.” Alexia scoffed and pushed him towards the living room, she stood a bit far away from the living room and watched them.“Oh, you are back.” She giggled happily and stood up when she saw Alex.“Yeah.” Alex replied.“Was something wrong?”“No, it's nothing.” He replied and she nodded.“Why are you here by the way?”“Oh, I came to check up on you, you know you passed out yesterday so I didn't get some time to talk to you.”“What if I had gone to school?”“Then I would have left and come back in the evening but it seems am lucky.” “Well, thank you,
“Emily come on, am serious.” He said and moved closer to her but she moved back. “Get out Charles, it is your fault we are in this mess in the first place.” “I know and am so sorry.” “Get out.” “Emily, come on.” “I will get security to escort you out if you don't leave now, get out.” She yelled and he sighed before walking out of the office. ******* “Should we go for a drive?” Alex asked Alexia and she nodded, they both walked out of the house and entered the car. Alex drove out and Alexia turned to him. “Where should we go to?” Alex asked. “Don't ask me, you suggested the drive.” “How about we visit a therapist? I still have the address Emily sent me on my phone.” “Why do we need to visit a therapist? Am okay.” “No, you are not, if you don't want us to then we won't.” “I don't want to.” He replied and she rolled her eyes. “Just drive around till we probably get lost okay?” “I will drive to our school.” “No, don't do that. We have been skipping school because of atte
“Jeez Alex, will you stop crying like a baby?” Emily asked as Alex cried and hugged his mother tightly.“Just let him cry.” His mother said.“This is all my fault, it is my fault she is in this state.” He cried and his mother creased his hair.“It's okay Alex, it is not your fault.” “It is his fault, he was the one driving the car and didn't stop when he saw a red light.” Emily scoffed.“Really Emily?” Their mother asked and she rolled her eyes.“Yes mum, you shouldn't lie to him.” “She is right, don't lie to me.” He cried his mother wiped his tears. “Stop crying Alex, if you keep crying your head will start hurting again.” Emily said.“I want to see Alexia, I want to see her.” He cried and Emily sighed.“Well, can't he see her?” His mother asked Emily and she sighed.“Mum, Alexia looks so terrible right now, I couldn't last a minute in her ward when I went to see her, if he sees her now he could murder himself.” Emily said and he cried louder. The door to the ward suddenly opened
Alex walked into the restaurant and used his eyes to search around for Piper, he finally found her and he walked towards her.“Alex.” She called happily had stood up, she hugged him and he hugged her back. “You are late.”“Yeah, sorry. Something came up.” He replied and she nodded with a smile, he suddenly noticed something and he gave her a questioning look.“What? Is something on my face?” She asked.“No, you are not wearing makeup.” He said and she smiled.“Oh, you noticed.” She giggled like Alexia always does.“Yes, I did.”“Well, I decided to stop, don't I look pretty?”“Hmm, you are. You look beautiful.” He said and she blushed.The waiter brought their food and placed it on the table, he bowed and walked away. Alex stared at the food and sighed.“You don't like it?” Piper asked.“No, it's not that.”“Oh, I ordered it before you came, do you want to change it?”“No.” “Then what's wrong?”“Alexia likes pasta.”“Really? Me too, I love it!” She exclaimed and Alex smiled a little.
Days turned into a week and still Alexia was still in a coma, Alex cried all night hoping and praying for her to wake up so she could stop him but still nothing changed.He is getting married tomorrow and a part of him felt happy and another part of him felt sad.He felt sad because he knew what he was doing was wrong, he knew he was making a huge mistake and the happy part of him was because he is getting married to someone who seem a lot like Alexia.Alex sighed as he stood in front of Alexia’s ward, he slowly walked in and walked to her bed.He sat beside her and stared at her, he held her hand and creased it.“Please wake up.” He muttered and kissed her hand.The door suddenly opened and Piper walked in, she smiled and walked to Alex.“Hey, Piper.” Alex said with a smile and she pecked his lips.“Are you okay?” She asked and creased his hair.“Yeah, am okay.” “You must miss her a lot.” “Yeah, I do.” He muttered and sighed.“We are getting married tomorrow Alex, you should be tak
FIVE YEARS LATER It's been five years since Piper and Alex got married and it has also been five years since Alexia has been in a coma. Of course, a lot has happened within five years. Charles and Emily also got married months after Alex's wedding to Piper, Mr. McCall was rich again and his business was going well. Alex attended a lot of therapy sessions and he was starting to get better, at the same time, he managed to finish high school and graduate, he also went to college and he was done. Alex is now twenty-five years and he runs most of the Miller's and his father’s company. Alex is well known all over London and outside it as the best businessman, he also has his business and he has achieved a lot over the years. He now has his own estate and companies too, it all seemed like so much work for him at first but with time, everything started to work out. His wife Piper was also doing fine, she still is a celebrity, and every day, she gains a lot of followers. Why wouldn't
“Stop crying, Alexia.” Mrs. McCall said and she lay on the bed and cried.“Look, everything will be fine, you will get discharged tomorrow, the doctor already confirmed that you are fine, you can continue the necessary treatment at home. I have a lot of plans for you okay?” Mrs. McCall said and Alexia sniffed.“Will I be able to see Alex?” She suddenly asked and sat up. Mrs. McCall remembered the promise she made to Alex and sighed.“Hmm, no. You can't see Alex, Alex is a busy man now, he is always at work and he won't have time.” “You are saying Alex won't have time for me? I can't even believe this, Alex can't live a minute without seeing me and he survived without me for five years? I can't believe that.” “Well you better believe it because it is true, Piper was there for him.” Mrs. McCall said and Alexia tried to say something but sighed.“You know what? It's fine.” She muttered and lay back on the bed.********THE NEXT DAYAlexia walked into the house with Mrs. McCall and look
Alexia walked into her room slowly and sighed, she sat on her bed and a tear rolled down her eyes. She started crying and she held her hair, she cried out loud and lay on her bed. Mrs. McCall stood at the entrance of her room and heard her cry, she sighed and shook her head sadly, she really didn't have a choice. Alex smiled as Piper hugged him, she giggled and pulled away from the hug. “What are you doing here?” He asked surprised since she barely visits him in the company.“I came to see you, I am actually done with my shoot.” She replied and sat at his table.“So how did it go?” Alex asked as he stood in front of her.“It went well.” She replied and he pecked her lips.“We are at the office Alex, don't start here.” Piper giggled and laughed as Alex kissed her neck.“So? It's my office, I own the company so I can do whatever I want in it.” He replied and kissed her again.“Don't you think it's time for us to have kids?” Piper suddenly asked and he froze.“Come on, I want to have
“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
