Alex was literally vibrating with rage at that moment but he decided to control himself. He tightened his fingers into fists and took a step backwards.

“Yes, you’re absolutely right. I was the son-in-law whom the Barons rejected… but not anymore. Like I’ve already told you, I’m the leader of the Conglomerate whom you’re expecting and I’m here to pick a vehicle.”

The lady scoffed.

“I cannot believe you still have the audacity to stand there and speak to me. Last I checked, you were thrown into jail for assault. Did you steal the money which you used to bail yourself out?”

Alex opened his mouth to respond but Jack cut in from the door;

“No, he didn’t steal the money. How can the young master steal money that already belongs to him?”

The lady and the man both watched, mouth agape with surprise, as Jack walked to Alex’ side and bowed deeply.

“I sincerely apologize for this nuisance, young master. Have you been harmed in any way?”

Alex shook his head.

“What are their names?”

    The room was thick with silence and regret as it slowly dawned on Shantel, Caleb and Johnson that they’d just disrespected their boss.Johnson was the first to react. He fell at Alex’s feet rather dramatically and tried to hold on to his legs. “I’m so sorry, sir. Please forgive me. I didn’t know you were the boss. Forgive me, sir.”Realising that begging might be the only way out, Shantel joined him. Despite her too-tight skirt, she also managed to land on the floor right beside Johnson.“Yes, sir. We’re sorry. Extremely so. Please don’t fire us. I need this job. Please, sir.”Alex’s lips curved in a smug smile as he looked straight into Caleb’s eyes. Caleb was beginning to grow uncomfortable. His collar suddenly felt too tight and he was visibly squirming.“What are you waiting for, Caleb?” Alex asked, his voice exuding calm authority. “Last I checked, you disrespected me as well. Won’t you join them?”Caleb’s eyes widened with horror.“Surely, you do not expect me to fall at your f

    Alex currrently stood before a huge, floor-to-ceiling mirror of a boutique he’d just discovered he owned while Zade faffed around, taking measurements and picking a dozen suits all in different colours. He had to admit, it was a bit exhausting.“What’s with all the fuss, Zade?” He asked tiredly. “I have a bazillion designer suits in my closet. Why can’t I wear any of those?”Zade stared at him like he’d just uttered blasphemy.“I’m sorry, young master, but I believe you just do not understand the importance of this event.”Alex rolled his eyes.“Well, can you explain it to me, please?”Zade suddenly seemed two inches taller. His chest puffed out and his face took on a sheen of seriousness as he spoke.“The Unveiling Ball, although a top secret event, is one of the most important events in the business world. Every businessman who has made a name for himself in New York and beyond will be in attendance. It is an event fit for only the crème-de-La-crème of society. Every member of the

    Melissa watched, awe struck as Alex climbed the stage amidst thunderous applause from all the other guests.“It’s not possible.” She whispered to herself. “How can this be possible?”“What is that pauper doing up there?” Her mother asked, clearly aghast. “Let’s all calm down. Maybe Alex got a job as the leader’s bodyguard. I’m sure this is all a misunderstanding.” Derek chirped in.Alex, on the other hand, climbed the stage with all smiles, trying to hide the nervous drumming of his heart. He’d never stood before such a vast crowd before. Matthew was not done showering accolades.“I am sure most of you are shocked to see this young man here and I would love to clear up whatever misunderstanding that lingers in your mind.”He walked forward and bowed before Alex. Melissa and her family were gasping in horror by now.“Everyone, if you’re truly a member of the Conglomerate, you’d know that our leader, Alexander, was a great man during his lifetime. His reign was smooth and beneficial t

    “Sir, Derek challenged you. Are you just going to let his disrespect slide?” Jack asked the next day.Alex tried to stifle his annoyance as the happenings of the previous night played out in his mind.“Patience, Jack. Patience. One thing I realised is that Derek Hunter is a very proud man… and proud people are always bound to mistakes.”“Oh. So you intend to pounce once he makes a mistake?”Alex scoffed.“I do not have the patience to wait that long. I’ll strike when he hasn’t even begun to make the mistake. I will push him to make the mistake and attack silently from all angles until I have him trapped in my nest. In the end, I will frustrate Derek Hunter until he’ll have no choice but to fall at my feet and acknowledge his stupidity.”The rest of the journey to the hospital passed by in silence. Alex was happy that he’d finally get to reunite with his little brother.He did not care what members of the Conglomerate said. Jayden was his brother and he’ll remain his brother forever.

    The moment Alex walked into the room, Dr. Baron got to his feet, blinking in surprise.“Alex! What a wonderful surprise. Welcome, my son.”Alex shot him a death glare.“I am not your son. I never was and I’ll never be. Cut the bull crap.”Dr. Baron’s smile lessened by a few watts but he was clearly not backing down.“What are you doing here so early in the morning?” He asked, coming around to arrange a seat for him. “Why didn’t you inform me? I would’ve received you at the gate.”Every single eye in the room was trained on the older man as he faffed around, trying to get Alex comfortable.“What are you doing, uncle?” Cole asked, no longer able to contain his rage. “Do you know this man?”Dr. Baron nodded enthusiastically.“Of course! He’s my son and the new leader of the Conglomerate of Billionaires. He’s a treasure to our family. I’m sure he’s here to deliver some good news.”At that point, even Alex was perplexed.“What kind of good news?”Dr. Baron’s smile grew wider.“Aren’t you h

    “Sir, the police are here.”The room fell into shocked silence as Jacob made the announcement. Alex stared at Derek with a raised brow. “You were saying?”Before Derek could reply, he turned to Jacob and ordered;“Bring them in here immediately.”“You’re bluffing.” Cole sneered, although he’d already begun to drip with nervous sweat. “The police are not here.”Alex shrugged as Jacob exited the room. Exactly one minute later, he returned with three uniformed men towing behind him.The moment Cole saw the officers, he began to tremble.“I told you this was all a misunderstanding. There was no n-need to get the p-police involved.” He stuttered.”“What’s going on here?” The first officer asked authoritatively.Alex glanced at his badge.“Thank God you’re here, officer Taj. This is a case of abuse. I met this man trying to assault this lady in a locked room. I heard her screaming. My bodyguard had to break the door down. When we gained entrance, we caught him pinning her against a wall w

    After assuring his brother that he’d be back soon, Alex led Brianna outside the ward.“Where are we going?” She asked shakily.“The nearby canteen. I’m hungry. You must be hungry, too.”They were about to leave when Alex noticed that Jack was following closely behind. He paused.“You don’t have to come with, Jack. Stay here. I’ll be back soon.”Jack shook his head firmly.“I’m sorry but that will not be possible, young master. I must come with you for your own safety.”Alex did not bother arguing. He led the way until they arrived at the canteen and ordered some food. “While we’re waiting, I’d like to hear your story.”Dr. Blakely looked like she wished the ground would open up and swallow her right there. Alex was curious.She lowered her head;“Um… Cole is not my boyfriend.” She deadpanned, lifting her head to hold his gaze. “He’s the father of my child.”Alex froze, his shoulders stiffening with shock. Jealousy burned in guts for a reason he couldn’t quite understand.“You… you h

    Alex’s heart nearly beat out of his chest. Tendrils of dread curled in his stomach and his fingers were already trembling.“B-bomb?” He stuttered, staring at Jack in horror. “Who are these people?”More gunshots peppered the air and Jack took cover behind the bulletproof door of the car.“I don’t know, boss, but I think they’re from your great grandfather.”Alex was stunned.“The same man who wanted to kidnap me when I was a baby? Isn’t that bastard dead yet?”“Just hand him over to us and go free. We only need the young master.”In the midst of the chaos, Alex watched in amazement as Jack calmly retrieved a walkie-talkie from his pocket and spoke into it.“Las Vegas C-squad, this is Special Agent Jack Windsworth. We are under attack. I repeat, we are under attack. The attackers are threatening to take the young master hostage. Send back-up immediately.”The two other waiting SUVs which were supposed to convey the rest of Alex’s bodyguards shot into action, barreling in breakneck spe

    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

    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

    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

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
