Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 116 — THE SECURITY FOOTAGE
The lounge was quiet and tense as Alex slowly walked in. For the first time, Mrs. Maria was alone. Camila and her mother were nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Maria stood with her back to him, pouring tea from one of her fancy teacups.“Welcome, David. Sit.”Aled was surprised.“I should…”“Sit!” She snapped, pointing one finger at one of the plush Italian sofas. Alex hurried to the sofa and sank into it immediately. Mrs. Maria daintily dropped the teacup and sashayed to her throne-like chair. “Miguel. Bring in the laptop.”The door flung open almost immediately and Miguel walked in with a laptop and a cocky expression on his face.He placed the laptop on a table before Mrs. Maria and she gave him a smile of thanks. “Play the CCTV footage you showed to me earlier.”Alex shifted to the edge of his seat. What the hell was going on?“Yes, ma’am.” Miguel replied as his fingers flew over the keyboard. While Miguel was trying to find the footage, Mrs. Maria fixed Alex with an icy stare.“I wi
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 117 — THE CRYING ROBBER.
Miguel did not look happy as he handed the laptop to Scott. He did not look happy at all.Mrs. Maria just looked confused.“Tariq, why is your friend here again?”“Because we need to know if that footage is fake or not.” Tariq said seriously. “I will not give an opinion on this matter until I’m one hundred percent certain that that footage was not edited.”“Why is there no sound?” Scott asked suddenly, frowning at the laptop.Tariq went closer.“You’re right. That’s weird. All of our CCTV cameras come with sound.”He turned to Miguel.“You brought this footage, right? What happened to the sound?”Miguel looked momentarily confused.“Uh, sir… I got it from the technical department without the sound. It’s not my doing.”Scott twisted his lips. “But Tariq says that all your cameras come with sound. Was the sound on this footage purposefully removed?”A cold, hard silence reigned in the room. Alex was literally burning with anticipation at that point.“Oh, what in the world do you mean?”
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 118 — THE TIME WARP.
“…do you know this man…?” The men turned in his direction and Alex patiently waited for them to deny ever knowing him so he could clear his name once and for all.But he was in for the shock of his life.To his utter horror, after scrutinising him for ten seconds, both men nodded. Several times. “Yes, ma’am. We know him.”Alex froze, not sure he’d heard right. “What?” He whispered, unconsciously taking a step forward. “What did you say?”Aside from Alex’s desperate questions, the entire lounge was as silent as a tomb. The men turned to Mrs. Maria, completely ignoring him.“We know him, ma’am. He’s our leader.”Alex was aghast.“That’s not true.” He said forcefully, unable to understand what the heck was going on. “Why are you lying to her? You know I’m innocent. I’ve never set my eyes on you two before today.”“That’s enough!” Mrs. Maria snapped. She turned to Tariq and lifted a brow.“You asked me to summon the criminals here because you were in doubt of David’s participation in t
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 119 — MISS CAMILA IN TROUBLE
“What the hell is going on, Tariq?” Alex asked the minute he was able to dodge the guards that Mrs. Maria had assigned to follow him and finally have a chance to speak to Tariq.“I’m very certain that all of this mess is Miguel’s doing. He’s trying to slow us down.”A thought suddenly occurred to Alex.“He knows that we’re onto him.”Tariq frowned. “He does?”“I’m afraid so. When Mrs. Maria first called me to the lounge, after she’d left, he told me that he knew about our little meeting with Jim. He knows that we’re aware that he stole the signet ring and not Eden’s father.”Tariq pressed his fingers against his eyes.“How the hell did he find that out?”Alex shrugged. “I have no idea. Maybe Jim got scared and told him everything.”He paused suddenly. “Speaking of Jim, has he provided the footage we asked for?”Tariq shook his head. “I haven’t heard from him since then. I’m really starting to believe he’s been avoiding me.”Alex let out a long sigh. “Things are not going according to
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 120 — SEXUAL TENSION
“… just touch me, David. No one has to know…”Alex remained completely still, trying hard to control his raging hormones. Looking at her soft, plump lips and the outline of her pert breasts beneath her tight, little dress, he was tempted to swoop forward and kiss her senseless, but he held himself back with much difficulty.Even if she was asking for it now, Alex would never have any sexual relations with a drugged woman. Besides, she would hate him when she came to her senses if he tried anything sinister.He forced himself to come back to reality and hefted her into his arms.“Come on, Miss Camila. Let’s get you upstairs.”The moment he lifted her, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and nestled her face her face against his neck.“Noooo…” she moaned, running her fingers over his shirtless body. “Let’s just do it here. Please…”Alex shook his head, took one step forward and paused. He had no idea where Camila’s room was located and the mansion was huge.He looked down at her
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 121 — CAUGHT
Alex perked up immediately.“Really? Can you describe the tattoo? Do you remember what it looked like?”Camila groaned and held her head between her hands.“Ease off. You’re asking too many questions.”Alex sighed deeply, deciding that she was right. He had to ease off. She was still under the powerful effect of whatever drug they’d given to her and he did not want to trigger her symptoms. Suddenly, Camila got to her feet and yawned, lifted her hands above her head in a long, satisfying stretch. In the process, the towel that he’d had wrapped around her fell off, revealing the glistening, naked skin of her back, thighs and plump arse to Alex’s hungry eyes. It took a lot of self control for him to clear his throat and step back. He hurried to his wardrobe and picked out one of his favourite flannel shirts for her.The shirt was old and soft from over washing, but most importantly, it was comfortable to sleep in.“Here.” He stretched the shirt in her direction without looking at her.
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 122 — FALSE ACCUSATIONS
Miguel was still arguing away when a soft moan pierced the air. As if on cue, everyone fell silent and turned in Camila’s direction at the same time. Alex’s heart drummed in anticipation as she stretched and slowly blinked her eyes open. Finally, she slowly sat up and stared at the ceiling in confusion.“Ugh. My head hurts.” She groaned. “Where am I?”Mrs. Maria and Tariq surrounded her immediately. Tariq went down on his haunches and gently lifted her hand in his;“Are you okay, sweetheart? It’s me, Uncle Tariq. You’re safe now.”Camila looked at him through dazed eyes. “Uncle Tariq? Where am I?”A sliver of dread unfurled deep in Alex’s veins. She looked genuinely confused. What if she did not remember anything that happened the previous night? How would he clear his name?Alex watched his suspicions slowly come to life as Camila surveyed her surroundings. She looked down at the duvet covering her naked chest and her eyes widened in shock.She grabbed Tariq’s arm with both her ha
Ultimate Revenge Of The Belittled Tycoon 123 — THE ASSAULT
Alex thought he was alone in the room until he heard the click of footsteps that indicated that someone was walking towards him.He looked up just as Miguel knelt beside him, his lips still twisted in that smug smirk.“Well, well, well. If it isn’t our little head cleaner? Oh, how the mighty has fallen.”Akex gritted his teeth and promptly decided that he wouldn’t gain anything from engaging Miguel in a tug of words.“What do you want, Miguel?”The bastard broke into a huge smile.“Nothing, nothing. Infact, right now, everything seems to be right with my little world which is weird considering the fact that ever since you came here, my life has been nothing but difficult.”Alex ignored the burning anger in his chest. He had better things to worry about.“That’s great, but if you do not have anything important to say, I suggest you stay very far away from me for the next few days.”Miguel scoffed. “And what makes you think you’ll be here in the next few days, David?” He bent closer, hi

153 — THE END
SIX MONTHS LATER:“Do you, Alexander Stephan, take Camilla to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health until death do you part?”Alex’s heart was filled with happiness as he replied confidently;“Yes, I do.”The priest turned to Camila and asked her the same question. She nodded eagerly as she responded;“Yes. Yes, I do.”“I now declare you man and wife. You may kiss your bride.”Camilla was glowing with happiness as Alex wrapped his arms around her waist and drew her in for a soft, slow kiss while the audience cheered them on.When he finally drew backwards, he placed his forehead against hers and whispered;“I’m so happy that I finally get to marry the love of my life.”She nodded, her eyes brimming with happy tears. “Let’s be together forever.”“Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Stephan!!” The priest announced.The screams and cheers got louder as the priest raised both their hands to the crowd. The past few months
152 — FINALLY BUSTED
The moment Blakely left the conference centre, Camilla watched in confusion as Alex started making a series of calls.“Yes, she just left. Get the security detail ready. I hope our bodyguards at the mansion are already on stand-by. Get someone to follow her. We’ll give her thirty minutes max before the operation begins…”When he finally ended all his calls and turned to her, Camilla was way beyond confused. “What’s going on, Alex? You sound like you’re preparing for war.”“More like preparing to catch a snake.” He replied as he lifted her hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles.Camilla frowned. “Snake? What snake?”Alex smiled. “Listen carefully. It’s about Blakely…”***Exactly thirty minutes later, Alex received a call from Peter, his chief-of-security.“Sir, they’re about to resume their operations. Should we strike?”“No. Wait for me. I’ll be there in five minutes.”“Akex, let me come with you.” Camilla begged for the umpteenth time. Alex leaned forward and pressed a kiss aga
151 — WONDERFUL REUNION
ONE YEAR LATER…So far, Alex had completely frustrated every single one of Blakely’s plan to get him to sign any documents. He read every single document that was brought to him thoroughly before he signed them. He’d also tripled and quadrupled his security, equipping them with modern weapons to enable them to face any kind of threats.There was simply zero space for Blakely and her boyfriend to carry out their devious plans and today, he was finally ready to expose her for who she really was. Alex had left unfinished business in New York when he travelled to Spain and today was the day he finally wrapped it all up. Today the competition between Hunters Technology and Alexander Group was finally coming to an end. Exactly eight months ago, Romanov, one of the members of the Las Vegas Conglomerate had brought a competition to his doorstep. Several companies in New York City were to compete against the Xanders Group of Companies, now known as the Alexander Group of companies. The
150 — THE ULTIMATE PLAN
After making sure that the Guerreros’ vacated all the properties that belonged to him, it was finally time for Alex to depart for Spain.Camila still refused to see him and despite his insistence, she claimed that she never wanted to see him again. Despite the fact that he’d achieved his goals, his shoulders hung with disappointment and his eyes were downcast as he boarded the private jet that would take him to New York… away from Camila.Ten minutes later, while he was waiting for take off, his phone rang. A quick glance at the caller ID revealed that it was Tony. His detective. “Hello, Tony.”“Hello, sir. I hear you’ll be returning today.”Alex frowned. Only few people knew that information because he wanted to keep his return as under the radar as possible. Few people being him and Tariq.“How did you know that?”“I’m a private Investigstor, sir. How else would I know?”“Have you been watching me?”“For your own safety, yes.”Alex sat up immediately. His interest was piqued.“Wha
149 — PAINFUL SEPARATION
Tariq’s words settled around the room like dust on a dark, gloomy night.No one said anything for the next few seconds. The room was as quiet as a graveyard… until Mendez broke the silence.“What’s your evidence that you’re really Alexander’s son? You could just be a scam trying to get money from us.”Tariq tried to argue but Alex hurriedly cut in;“There’s no need to enagage them in a fruitless argument when we can just show them prove.”He lifted a finger and one of his guards, Peter, came forward with a briefcase. He retrieved a few papers from the briefcase and handed them to Alex who in turn gave the papers to Mendez.“In case you’re wondering, that’s the DNA test result. It was conducted by Alexander himself before he passed as evidence that I’m really his biological grandson. If you check the date, that test was conducted almost twenty four years ago. Do you believe me now?”Mendez ran his eyes through the papers, his heartbeat tripling with shock. “It can’t be. It can’t fuck
148 — RETURN OF THE CHEATED HEIR
Suddenly, the television which hung in the conference room came on, displaying footage from the CCTV cameras outside. Everyone turned in its direction and watched in surprise as several tinted, bullet proof cars drove into the premises.“Mr. Alvaro, those cars do not belong to you, do they?”Hugo shook his head. “They don’t. All the cars we came with are already safely parked in the garage. I don’t know who these people are.”Mendez swung into action immediately. He picked up his phone and called the security personnel downstairs.“Seal the building. Nobody comes in and no one goes out. It appears that we have a new set of visitors and I have no idea who they are.”When he was done with the phone call, Mendez put down his phone and forced a smile.“I’m sure everything is perfectly fine. Maybe they missed their way.” He turned to Camila.“Weren’t you about to sign the documents? What are you waiting for?”Camila picked up the pen but once again, they were interrupted by the sounds of
147 — THE OWNERSHIP DOCUMENTS
After waiting for another fifteen and staring at the door longingly, Camila finally accepted the fact that Alex just wasn’t going to show up. He’d abandoned her. Her heart was breaking into pieces deep within her chest but she’d already vowed not to shed another tear for a man.She glanced at her Rolex, her eyes widening in shock when she saw how much time had gone.“Shit! It’s already two minutes to ten o’clock?”All her sorrows forgotten, she hurriedly slipped on the shoes she’d abandoned and made her way towards the conference room.Thankfully, when she finally made it, the Alvaro’s hadn’t arrived yet. Mrs. Maria’s lips curled in a frown when she saw her.“Oh, thank God you’re here. Where were you and what were you doing?”Camila lowered her head.“I’m sorry, aunt.”Mrs. Maria gave her narrow-eyed, suspicious look.“What the heck happened to your make-up? Were you crying?”Alarmed, Camila’s head snapped upwards.“Crying? No, of course not.”“Then why is your makeup looking all sm
146 – THE D-DAY
Alex was standing at the balcony of his new apartment when his phone suddenly rang. He fished it out if his pocket and glanced at the caller ID. Tariq.He pressed the phone against his ear. “Tariq.”“Alex.” He sounded upset. “What is this I hear about speeding up the plan?”“Oh. I guess Alejo called you.”“Start explaining yourself, boy.”“Everything he told you is true. I asked him to invite the Guerreros to sign the documents tomorrow. What’s the use of waiting till next week when we could just get everything done this week?”Tariq sighed.“Don’t you think you’re going too fast? What if Maria or Mendez gets suspicious and decide to investigate?”“There will be no such investigations, Tariq. Calm down. In fact, Maria had been requesting that Alejo fix this meeting since two weeks ago. Calling them right now will not be suspicious at all.”Tariq calmed down a notch. “Okay, then.I hope so. What’s the plan?”Alex was alone in his house, but he lowered his voice cautiously like someone
145 — CAMILA’S CONFESSION
Alex was speechless. He stared at Camila, momentarily conflicted.“Isn’t this what you wanted?” He asked calmly. “You asked me to stay out of your personal life. You asked me not to pry… and that’s exactly what I’m doing. What’s the problem?”Camila heaved a sigh, leaned back against her seat and shut her eyes for the next few seconds. When she opened them, she looked spent… exhausted.“I miss you.” She whispered. “I miss you so much, David. I really wish I didn’t have to marry Hugo but I have no choice. What should I do? Help me.”More tears slithered down her smooth cheeks and Alex’s self control nearly snapped. He dropped his cleaning supplies and came closer, pausing just beside her table.“If you need my help, you’re gonna have to tell me what’s going on. Everything.”She blinked at him. “Won’t you hug me first? Won’t you comfort me?”Alex nearly leapt forward and wrapped her in his arms but he physically forced himself to stay put.“The fact that I’ve decided to help you doesn’t
