“We are not devils, that is a very mean thing to say.” Austin scoffed and Jessica smiled at them.“You guys are adorable, and I will apologize to your mother, don't worry about that.” “No, do it now, in front of everyone.” Lexia said and Jessica sighed before nodding. She stood up and walked to Alexia who stood in front of her proudly.“I am sorry Alexia, I am sorry about how I treated you, I am sorry for making you feel like you didn't matter to us, I am sorry for everything I have done to you, please forgive me.” Jessica apologized looking sorry.“It's fine Jessica, I forgive you.” Alexia said with a smile.“What about you?” Anita asked Charlie.“I am not apologizing to anyone.” He scoffed and Alexia smiled.“Of course.” Alexia replied and made a call. Immediately, her guards walked in with the cops and Charlie stood up immediately.“You are under arrest for the murder you committed ten years ago, your assistant is already waiting for you at the station, you will beg for mercy Char
MONTHS LATER“Mum.” Austin called as Alexia tried to button up his shirt and her hands shook as she did. Tears clouded her eyes and Austin kept staring at her.“Mum.” He called and still got no response.“Mum.” He called again as her hands shook.“Mum!” He yelled.“Shut the fuck up!” She screamed at him and he flinched, Alexia froze as she realized what she just did and she placed her palm over her mouth immediately.“Austin, I am so sorry.” She cried and Austin nodded, he moved closer to her and held her hands.“Mum, is something going on? Is everything okay?” He asked and she cried loudly, he slowly wrapped his tiny arms around her and she cried.“It's okay, don't cry again, pretty girls don't cry.” He said and Alexia chuckled.“Thank you.” She muttered and sniffed, she wiped her tears and sighed.“Is something wrong? I have actually been noticing the way you have been since dad started going on his business trips, you cry every night, you always look pale, sometimes you stay in you
“Calm down Alexia, you are scaring your kids and we are in a hospital.” Emily said and she turned to see her children looking terrified.“What’s wrong? Is Lexi okay?” Alex asked in fear.“Lexi is fine, she is just like that because the doctor said his brain is getting damaged and he needs to go to a mental hospital.”“What? But he is just a kid, why a mental hospital?”“Oh shut up, don't act like you care.” Alexia snapped.“Of course, I care, what are you talking about?”“Alex, where have you been for the past one month?” “On a business trip.” He replied and Alexia chuckled in tears.“I would let that one slide because I don't want to talk about it here, do you want to know why our son had a panic attack?”“Yes.” Alex muttered in response.“Don't mutter when you are talking to me!” She yelled at him.“Okay, you can't yell at me like that okay? I don't even know what I did wrong and I am as worried as you are about our son.” Alex said raising his voice.“Did you just yell at me?”“Ale
Alex walked into the ward and slowly sat beside Alexia, they both stared at Lexi as she slept peacefully.“So what did Austin tell you?” She asked and Alex sighed.“Are you happy?” He asked and she looked at him.“Happy? Do you need an honest answer?”“Yes please.”“I am not happy Alex.”“Are you happy with this marriage? Are you happy you got married to me?” He asked and she sighed.“Alex, of course, I am happy with the marriage and I am happy I got married to you, being with you for the rest of my life is what I have always wanted, I am not just happy because you are lying to me.”“You know I am still a mafia?” He asked and she nodded.“Yes, I knew all along, why didn't you quit?” She asked and he sighed.“I couldn't quit, someone is ruling now and I am trying to find who the person is but the person’s identity is still a secret, that is what I have been busy with for the past few weeks.”“Next week is the kid's birthday, what is more, important than that? A new mafia lord?”“I am s
WEEKS LATER It's been weeks since everything has been going smoothly for the McCalls, their birthday was a success and a lot of celebrities were invited by Mrs. McCall, she made her grandkids have fun to the fullest and she was glad.A lot of work was done by Alex and Alexia on their birthday just to keep Lexi in a good mood and not to make him lose it in front of the guest and the press.No one outside the family knows a grandchild of the McCalls has Bipolar Disorder, except his therapists and his mental health doctors.Within these past few weeks, Lexi hasn't been improving and everything seems to not be working. He has been on a lot of pills and slowly he is getting depressed. Alexia tries her best to cheer him up but he isn't just showing any changes.“Okay, baby, just one more pill.” Alexia said to Lexi and he slowly took the pill, he gulped down a glass of water and sighed.“That was great, you did well and mummy is proud of you okay?” Alexia said and he nodded in response.“G
MANY YEARS LATER“I can't deal with you and your constant nagging anymore, stay out of my fucking business Austin!” Anita yelled at him as they both walked down the stairs dressed in their uniforms.“No cursing guys, Ashley is here.” Alexia said glaring at them, Ashley is their four years old sister, Alex and Alexia decided to make a baby and this time it wasn't four but just one.“Sorry, Ashley.” Anita said.“It is fine.” She replied as she continued with her food.“Mum, tell Austin to stay out of my business.”“If you are doing something wrong then he has to be in your business.” Alexia said and Austin smiled.“See? Mum is with me on this one.”“But I am not wrong.”“Really? Is dating more than one boy at once a good thing?” Austin asked and Anita gave him a look.“Shut the fuck up.”“What? Hold on, no cursing in front of your younger sister, you are two timing?” Alexia asked walking to her.“Two-timing?” Austin scoffed and chuckled.“She is four timing if that is a thing, she is d
Lexia groaned angrily as she walked to class, she got in and sighed before sitting. “He really doesn't have to run away from me.” She muttered and scoffed. “Hey, babe.” She heard a voice behind her and she turned to see one of her boyfriends.“Oh, right. Jack, we are over and that means we aren't dating anymore.” Lexia said and his eyes widen in shock.“What? What the fuck? Did I do something wrong?” Jack asked and she sighed.“No, nothing, I didn't just want to date you anymore.” “You are such a bitch.” “Excuse me?” Lexia asked and he scoffed.“You are a bitch, you think you can get away with this?” He yelled angrily and the class turned to them.“What the hell is wrong with you? Stop yelling at me.” Lexia said and Austin suddenly walked in.“What is going on?” Austin asked as he walked to them.“He called me a bitch because I broke up with him.”“Really? I need you to say that again Jack, let me hear it.” Austin said and stood in front of him.“What are you going to do about it?
“Am sorry Lexi.” Ashley said and Alex walked to him. His hand shook as Alex held him and pulled him up.“Take his food to his room.” Alex ordered the maid and she bowed before doing so.“What? You want him to eat alone?” Alexia asked.“Yes.”“But he needs to be with us to get through this, not encouraging him to be alone.” Alexia said.“Then tell them to stop being scared of him, it's really hard for him okay? I know how he feels so just try to do what he wants.” Alex said.“Really? We should do what he wants?” Austin asked.“See? There we go again, can you stop that?” Alex snapped at Austin.“Did you just snap at me?” Austin asked.“Yes, now keep your mouth shut and listen to me.” Alex yelled at him and he scoffed.“Okay, easy boys.” Alexia said and stood in front of Alex and smiled at him.“Take it easy Alex, I know you are doing all of these because of Lexi but you shouldn't yell at Austin like that.” Alexia said.“Oh... Oh, I... I will just go, I am sorry I caused it.” Lexi sniffe
“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
