“You said I’ll have to disguise myself.” Alex reminded him. “What’s the plan concerning that? How will I get into Guerrero territory?”

Tariq glanced at him before refocusing his attention on the road.

“I’ll give you all the needed costumes and we’ll also go through the plans when we’re aboard the plane. We’ll be there soon.”

Alex nodded.

“Okay, then.”

Just as Tariq had said, less than ten minutes later, they arrived at the hangar where a small, private plane was already waiting for them.

“We’re going via a private jet?” Alex asked in surprise as they alighted the car.

“Yes. We were supposed to fly out of New York tomorrow with a commercial flight but I had to cancel those plans and book a jet instead because of Maria’s call.”

“That must’ve been a hassle.” Alex observed. “We could’ve used my jet to save you the stress of having to book one.”

Tariq’s lips curved in a knowing smile.

“I think you must’ve misunderstood me. The jet is mine, Alex. By booking, I was referring to the time it

    Alex opened his mouth to snap back at the disrespectful guard hit one look from Tariq and he comported himself. He fisted his fingers and tried to remember that he was no longer Alexander Alexander Stephan. For the next few months, his name was…“This is David Wyatt.” Tariq said, hurrying to his side. “He’s the new housekeeper and cleaner that Miss Maria hired. I just flew him in from New York City.”Alex forced his lips into a smile and nodded.“Yes, that’s me. David Wyatt. Wonderful to meet you.”The guard gave him a scathing look and sneered;“You have no business talking to me like we’re on the same level. You’re a cleaner. Shut your mouth until you’re asked to speak.”Alex was on the very verge of taking just one step forward and giving that guard a piece of his mind but Tariq tugged on the back of his shirt in warning and he forced himself to remain silent. He could not remember the last time someone spoke to him in that manner. “I sincerely apologise.”“Good.” The guard snap

    “Alex, is something wrong?” Tariq asked when he noticed his stiff shoulders.Alex snapped out of his trance and faced him, debating silently on whether to tell him about the gun or not. Unfortunately, before he could come to a decision, their doors flew open and two, fierce looking guards poked their heads inside the car.“What the hell are you two still doing in here?” The guard on Alex’s side snapped, his loud baritone echoing through the interior of the car. When the men saw Tariq, they stepped back and bowed respectfully — then went right back to being fierce and intimidating.“Welcome, sir.” The head guard greeted him. “Who’s your companion?”“Thank you. His name is David Wyatt. The housekeeper cum cleaner from New York whom Miss Maria requested for. Alex’s heart pounded wildly as one of the guards walked up to him and proceeded to assess him from head to toe. “I don’t know… he looks strangely familiar.”“Fuck.” Alex muttered under his breath. Did they know his grandmother? H

    Alex felt his throat tighten with heated pressure as the head guard gradually caught on to the dog’s strange movements. The guard named Pedro walked forward, his brows drawn together in suspicion. He stopped before the head guard and gave the suitcase a closer look.“Are you sure Killer isn’t trying to tell us something?”The head guard shook his head.“I don’t think so. We searched all the bags already, didn’t we? Did you find anything suspicious?”“I didn’t, but we both know Killer doesn’t just go off like this for no reason. I’m telling you that something’s up. We need to check that bag once again.”Alex’s heart pounded a wild rhythm as he waited for the head guard’s next course of action. The organ nearly beat out of his chest when he lifted the empty bag and shook it… hard. Ten seconds later, he turned to Pedro;“See? There’s nothing in here. I think Killer is just hungry or something.”Pedro scratched his head, his face twisted in confusion.“But he’s never acted like this bef

    Alex waited at the bottom of the stairs for a long time. His feet hurt from the long journey and he was gradually getting tired. He looked around, trying to survey the environment when he saw a pretty, white settee in the corner just behind the stairs. He debated over it for a second. A full second. No longer able to bear the pain of standing, he trudged over to the settee and sank into it.The moment he took pressure off his aching legs, Alex breathed a long sigh of relief. He was just about to look around some more when a sharp female voice came from above the stairs.“Who are you and what do you think you’re doing?”Startled, Alex shot up from the settee immediately. He looked up, already opening his mouth to reply but froze in wonder… because coming down the stairs was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.Her long, midnight black hair cascaded over her shoulder in waves. Her face was a perfect oval that housed the brightest, most stubborn pair of grey eyes he’d ever seen… and

    For a moment, the room is deathly still. No one speaks. No one even dares to breathe. My mother looks like she’d rather be swimming in a pool filled with dangerous crocodiles than be present in this room right now. I do not fucking care. I’d rather swallow my own vomit than let Mrs. Maria treat me like she treats my mother — like an unworthy piece of trash. Mrs. Maria lifts her nose in the air, her lips pinched with disgust.“Your daughter is very disrespectful, Milcent.” She targets my mother as usual instead of just addressing me. “First of all, she should understand that she’s not supposed to speak to elders in that manner. Second, it would be better if she just gave up her invitation. After all, what exactly will she be doing at the fashion week?”Okay. I’ve finally had enough. I get to my feet, my fingers tightening into fists at my sides.“First of all, if you have a problem with me, Mrs. Maria, I believe you should address me and leave my mother out of it. Second, what are y

    CAMILAUpon hearing my voice, the man gets to his feet and turns in my direction. I open my mouth to speak once again but freeze, the words dying in my throat when I see his face. He has the most expressive, bright blue eyes I’ve ever seen. His jawline is a perfect definition of “Adonis” and those lips. God, those lips. They’re full and plump like the men in my Spanish telenovelas. Despite his worn outfit, this man looks like he just stepped off the glossy pages of some famous American magazine and for some reason, he looks really familiar.The way he stares at me makes my heart beat faster and my cheeks flush with awareness. No man has ever made me feel this way before. No man has ever had my heart burning with just a stare.His eyes rove over my body like hot licks of liquid fire and for the first time in my life, I am not creeped out by a man’s stare. Let’s just say I’m intrigued and leave it at that. “You never answered my question.” I snap, trying to gain control over my disto

    Alex squared his shoulders and took a deep breath in preparation as Tariq knocked on the double glass doors of the lounge.“Come on in.” A female voice called from inside. He turned to Alex. “It’s time.”Alex nodded and together, they walked into the spacious, luxuriously decorated lounge. There were two women in the room and both their eyes were firmly fixed on him as he came to a stop beside Tariq. The first woman has midnight black hair like Camila, while the second one had blonde hair which he instantly knew was either fake or dyed. “Hello, Maria.” Tariq stepped aside, to give them a better view of Alex. “This is David Wyatt. He’s the kid I was telling you about. Your new cleaner from New York City.”Tariq turned to him.“David, this is Mrs. Maria, your new boss.” He pointed at the fake-haired lady. “And this is Mrs. Millicent Fernandez. She’s a cousin of the family.”Anger burned in Alex’s throat as he took a good look at the woman who perpetrated the death and torture of his

    Alex stood silently, surprised at the tension he could feel rolling off Miguel in waves. What was the guy’s deal? Really. “Why don’t I show you to the servant’s quarters?” He said, lifting his nose in the air like Alex was beneath him.Tariq stepped in.“Uh, Miguel, David will not be staying at the servant’s quarters.”Miguel froze. Uh-oh. Alex had a really bad feeling about this. Miguel’s eyes were literally spitting flames when he turned.“Excuse me, sir? All the servants stay at the servant’s quarters. Why is he an exception?”Mr. Tariq took a deep breath and stiffened his shoulders. The air suddenly seemed to shift, becoming colder. “I don’t know Miguel but for some reason, I’ve noticed that you’re quite saucy and disrespectful today.”Shocked, Miguel’s eyes widened. “Sir…”Tariq lifted a hand, effectively cutting him off. “I never said I was done.” He said in an authoritative tone. “Do not interrupt me.”Miguel lowered his gaze. “Sorry, sir.”“I think you’ve forgotten that

    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 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
