“What?” Alexis asked.“Think about it, if I tell everyone I have Bipolar disorder, Charles won't be able to threaten Emily anymore and I will be free from Allison.”“And your family?”“Don't worry, it is going to go well.” “How will you organize a press conference without Emily? And if she knows that you are doing a press conference because of that she won't let you.” “Yeah, I will lie to her, that should be good.” He said with a smile and Alexia sighed.“What if this doesn't work? What if everything goes wrong?” Alexia asked and he smiled.“I don't care.” He said and she glared at him.*******AT NIGHT Alex walked into Emily's room and smiled on seeing her going through her phone.“Emily.” He called and she glared at him.“There is something they call knocking, you know that right?” Emily asked and he smiled.“Sorry, I just wanted to ask you for a favor.” “What is that?” She asked as she went through her phone.“I want to do a press conference tomorrow.”“Why?” Emily asked and lo
Emily ran after Alex and Alexia and finally caught up with them when they were about to leave the building.“It was you right? You encouraged him to do this so the whole world can know you as his girlfriend right?” Emily asked Alexia angrily.“What? It wasn't me, I was against it but he won't listen.” “And you just had to go up there with him when you knew that was what he was going to say.” Emily yelled.“Stop yelling at her, this is not her fault, it was all me.” Alex said and Emily sighed angrily.“Do you have any idea what you have just done? You have just dragged our family's name into the mud, we are going to be disrespected and looked down on, we...”“Really? The family name? Is that all that matters?” Alex yelled at her and she rolled her eyes.“Guys, it is okay. You can yell at each other when we get home, it is not safe here.” Alexia said.“Will you shut the fuck up? You are worthless and you have nothing to lose in your life, that is why you think this is a minor issue.” E
Alexia sighed as she lay in her bed, she was so confused about what to do. She knew deep down she wasn't happy living in London but she is happy with Alex. She sighed again and ran her hands through her hair, she picked up her phone and decided to check what Alex's fans are saying.She smiled happily seeing positive comments and how most of his fans are protesting on raising awareness for Bipolar patients but every fan he has kept insulting his father. She scrolled through more comments and smiled at seeing how his fans were appreciating her, she suddenly frown on seeing some abusive comments about her. Some were calling her a gold digger, some said she knew about the disappearance in the first place.“What the fuck.” Alexia muttered. She scrolled through more of it and paused when she was a group of Alex's haters, they were protesting against Bipolar patients and how they should be sent to a mental hospital and not live among normal beings. They had a trending hashtag already, #figh
THE NEXT DAYAlex walked down the stairs alone and he hugged his mother immediately after he saw her in the living room, she smiled happily and hugged him back.“Hey Alex, how was your night?” “It was fine mum, yours?” He asked and pulled away from the hug.“Great.” She replied and he nodded.“Where is Emily? I really need to talk to her.”“Oh, she is in the dining room, where is your girlfriend?”“She is still asleep and I don't want to wake her up.” “Okay.” She replied and he nodded with a smile before walking to the dining room, he got there and met her having breakfast and at the same time, she was going through her phone.“Emily.” He called and sat beside her but she ignored him.“Okay, the silent treatment.” He muttered and started eating her food, she slowly turned to him and he winked at her.“What?” She asked.“Are you mad at me?”“What do you think?” She asked and he sighed.“Look at what everybody is saying about dad, he is losing a lot of money every second, I hate him b
After almost an hour of waiting, the doctor finally showed up and Alex’s mother watched with Alex as the doctor examined her.“Well she is just cold, it is nothing serious.” The doctor said with a smile and Alex sighed in relief.“Really? Are you sure doc?” Mrs. McCall asked.“Yes, hundred percent sure.” He replied.“Then why did she vomit?” “I just felt irritated ma’am, I have told you already.” Alexia said rolling her eyes and Alex creased her hand.“It is possible.” The doctor added.“Are you sure? If she is pregnant you don't have to hide it.” She said and the doctor laughed.“Jeez, this is so embarrassing.” Alexia muttered and rolled her eyes.“She is not pregnant ma’am, and here are the drugs you can use. You should be okay by tomorrow.” The doctor said and dropped them on her table, Alexia nodded and smile.“I will take my leave now.” The doctor announced and Alex nodded.“I will come with you.” Mrs. McCall said and they head towards the door.“Am not pregnant Mrs. McCall.” Al
Alexia and Alex didn't say a word to each other till dinner time, she was in her room all day and Alex was also in his room. It was finally dinner time and a maid walked in and informed her, she smiled at the maid and she walked out.Alexia sighed and ran her hands through her hair, she really just wants to be happy with Alex without all this drama. She stood up and changed to casual wear, she packed her hair into a bun and walked out of the room.She got to the living room and met everyone there, including Piper and her parents, the most interesting part is that she is sitting beside Alex. Alexia slowly sat beside Alex’s mother and she smiled at her.They all started eating and no one said a word to each other, everyone was tense and the silence made it a lot worse.Mr. Miller suddenly cleared his throat and all attention drifted to him.“So about the wedding... ““They are still teenagers, why don't they just agree and sign a contract.” Mrs. McCall cut Mr. Miller off and her husba
“Alex, what you said was wrong. That was really bad, no matter what happens, family comes first.” Alexia said as they got to his room. “I don't want to talk about it.”“You have to talk about it, why will you disrespect your family that way?”“So I should let them insult you?”“No, but you shouldn't have said all that.”“Shut up!” He suddenly yelled at her and she flinched.“Shut up, shut the hell up Alexia, I will do and say what I want.” He yelled and she flinched again.“Ugh.” He groaned and held his hair, he hit his head on the wall continuously till he burst into tears.“Alex.” Alexia called and moved towards him.“Don't come closer to me, don't touch me.” He cried and sat on the floor.“You guys are driving me crazy, I don't know what to do.” He cried and Alexia sighed.“Am sorry.” She muttered and moved closer to him, she slowly sat beside him and held his hand.“I don't care about all this Alexia, I don't want money, it is you I want. I just want to be with you.” He said and
THE NEXT DAY Alex walked down the stairs dressed in casual wear and Emily gave him a look.“It’s Monday if you don't know, why aren't you in your uniform?” Emily asked as she prepared for work.“I don't feel like going to school today.” He replied.“Why?”“Nothing. Is Charles still disturbing you?” He asked changing the topic.“Not really, he just apologized for blackmailing me and said he still loves me and I should give him a chance.”“Asshole.” Alex muttered and she chuckled.“Where is Alexia?” “She is still sleeping.” He replied and she nodded as she arranged some files into her bag.“Hmm, how are things going at the office?”“Rough but am trying to not make dad lose all of his investors.” “Can Miller actually buy all of dad’s companies?”“Well, yeah. Miller is the richest man in London, then dad and Charles's family is the third.” “Okay.” He replied and his mum walked down the stairs dressed like she was going for a hangout and Alex smiled.“Hey, guys.” She called.“Mum.” The
“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
