Every single person in the room froze, eyes wide with shock.

The tension was so thick, so palpable that it could be sliced through with a knife.

Alex’s heart was already pounding overtime as he stared at the shattered pieces of ceramics at his feet. He could barely speak. He couldn’t even make a single sound.

Diego, on the other hand, looked like he’d seen a ghost. His face was as white as a sheet.

This was bad. This was very bad.

What Alex was not expecting was for Diego to start screaming like someone whose precious cat just died.

“David, look what you’ve done! Madam will definitely have your head for this.”

Alex was shocked. He stared at Diego for a moment, trying to assimilate what he’d just heard.

“Excuse me?”

Diego did not wait for him to recover. He had to act wisely otherwise, he’ll be in big trouble.

“Stop trying to pretend like you don’t know what you did!” He snapped. “You’ve destroyed Mrs. Maria’s statue. This statue cost two hundred million dollars!”

Alex was beginning

    They all waited silently as Tariq placed a call to the surveillance unit of the mansion.“…okay, okay. That’s fine. Please be here soon.”Finally, he shut off his phone and faced the crowd.“Good news. The surveillance unit is sending one of their tech. guys over right now with the footage from twenty minutes ago. I’m sure all of this will be cleared up very soon.”Diego slowly got to his feet. The drama he’d put up a few minutes ago was long forgotten. Miguel’s face was twisted like he’d just swallowed a gigantic toad. After what felt like an eternity, the tech. guy finally arrived. He was a dark skinned young man with thick curly hair and large, chunky glasses. He bowed before Mrs. Maria first before going to stand beside Tariq.“Everyone, this is Thomas Vegas from the surveillance department and he’s here to reveal the truth.” Tariq quickly introduced.“Thomas, do you have the footage?” “Yes, sir.” Thomas held up a tiny flash drive. “That’s great. Play it. We want to know who’

    Alex paused and turned to him.“Excuse me?”Ethan held his gaze.“I know you’re probably thinking that Camila and I are dating.” He repeated. “We’re not. We’ve never dated… because she’s my cousin.”Alex froze. “Wait, what?”Ethan nodded.“I’m Mrs. Maria’s last son, Ethan Guerrero. Nice to meet you.”Alex stared at him for a moment, shock written all over his features. He was not shocked at the fact that Ethan thought he and Camila were cousins. They weren’t because Maria and Camila’s mother were not related by blood anyways.He was shocked because if Ethan was Maria’s son, that means he was Alex’s…“What’s your father’s name?” Alex asked out of the blue, staring at Ethan intently.Ethan’s expression instantly became shuttered and all the light disappeared from his eyes.“Why are you asking?”Alex looked away, realising that he might’ve overstepped his boundaries.“I’m sorry. You don’t have to tell me.”“Alexander Stephan.” Ethan deadpanned. “My father’s name was Alexander Stephan.

    WARNING: UNEDITED CHAPTER (chapter will be edited tomorrow.)***For the first few seconds, Alex was speechless.“I asked you a question, Alex.” Mrs. Maria seethed. “Why didn’t you do as I asked?”He finally snapped back to reality.“Ma’am, I promise I can explain.”Mrs. Maria folded her arms and stared at him.“Well go on, I’m listening.”“I promise I cleaned the room, ma’am. Infact, I cleaned both rooms. I just returned a few minutes ago to find out that the Italian Enforcer's dogs had not been leashed and they ended up messing up the room all over again. I promise this was all sparkling just a few minutes ago.”Miguel shook his head, his expression dripping with disgust. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Blaming your incompetence on poor, innocent dogs. How pathetic.”Mrs. Maria turned to him.“What do you mean by that, Miguel? Are you trying to tell me something?”Miguel stepped forward.“Forgive me, ma’am, but I believe that what happened here is quite clear. No dog whatsoever w

    WARNING: UNEDITED CHAPTER (chapter will be edited tomorrow.)***After making sure that Amanda and Caleb cleaned the dining room thoroughly, Alex took both of them to his room for a round of questioning. He did not want to risk asking them questions in the dining room where anyone could just barge in and see them.“Now, I need both of you to tell me everything you know and do not leave anything out. If I find out later that you’ve lied to me or omitted an important part of this conversation, I might change my mind and report you both to Mrs. Maria anyways. Although Amanda had stopped crying a while ago, she still looked on the verge of tears. And did he forget to mention that Camila was here, too? Despite his warnings, she’d insisted on coming along and here she was.“During midnight, Miguel called us for a meeting…”When Amanda was done telling her story, Alex was pacing his room like a caged bulldog. His veins bubbled with barely restrained anger and he fingers itched to punch som

    Mrs. Maria could not believe her ears. She stood completely silent for the first few seconds, trying to understand what she’d just heard.“Miguel, what did you say?” She whispered, disbelief written all over her features.“Ma’am, the cake! It just fell. It’s ruined!”Her stomach tightened with dread.“I really hope you’re joking because that cake cost me over two million dollars and it’s one of a kind. Is this some kind of sick joke?”Miguel shook his head.“I wish it was, ma’am. I really wish it was. You can come out and see it for yourself. The cake is ruined.”Despite the war that was raging within her, Mrs. Maria took a deep breath, turned to her caterer and gave her a tight smile.“Please hold on for a minute, Miss Tehila. I’ll be right back.” Then she slowly followed Miguel into the lawn.Back at the lawn, the atmosphere was a frenzy of cries and screams.While the female cleaners were crying and freaking out over Mrs. Maria’s reaction to the destroyed cake, the men were plannin

    Alex did not make a single sound and neither did he struggle as the guards walked over and roughly grabbed him. Amanda was panicking. She kept exchanging glances with her colleagues but none of them offered to join her in speaking the truth. She was all alone… or so she thought.Miguel and Philip watched the guards drag Alex away with smiles on their faces. When they finally disappeared from sight, Miguel walked up to Mrs. Maria and said gently;“You made the right decision, ma’am.”She looked over her shoulder and gave him a cold stare.“How on earth will that replace the cake, Miguel? The banquet is the day after tomorrow. At this rate, we’ll have to postpone it and I already added dates to the invitation cards we sent out.”Miguel couldn’t care less about the bloody cake. He was just happy that Alex was finally under lock and key. Now, he had a hundred percent chance of getting the promotion because he had no serious competitors.“You know what? I have an idea.” Mrs. Maria suddenl

    “Ever since my father was fired about a month ago, life has become increasingly difficult for my family and I. The mafia stopped paying him and no one would hire him because they feared Mrs. Maria’s wrath. We lived on the little money he had saved for weeks until we eventually ran out. Last Monday, I came to pack the rest of our stuff from the staff quarters and saw a plate of leftover toast from somebody’s breakfast on the dining table. My brother and I had not eaten since that morning and since it seemed that no one wanted the food anymore, I walked over and picked up the toast so my brother could at least have something to eat for the day.”His face fell.“Unfortunately, I was caught.”“By who?” Alex was curious.“Miguel Santorini.” Eden deadpanned. “He caught me just as I was about to put the toast in my bag. I remember explaining our situation to him and expecting him to let me go since he was a my father’s colleague.”Alex already knew what was coming.“But that was not the c

    Three hours into his captivity, Alex was silently staring into the darkness when he heard the gate open. Eden, who'd already dozed off, shot upright and sent him a wide-eyed stare.“Who is it?” He whispered. Alex shrugged and slowly got to his feet.“I have no idea.”Footsteps echoed towards their cell. The closer it got, the harder Alex’s heart pounded in his chest.Finally, the dark shadow came to a stop under one of the torch lights. Alex called it a dark shadow in his mind because that was exactly what it looked like. The man was tall, almost as tall as Tariq. He was dressed all in black — black shirt, black pants, black combat boots and a black trench coat. “Who are you?” Alex asked, trying to quell his thumping heart. The man slowly took off his hat until only his thick, black hair shimmered under the torch’s glow.It suddenly hit Alex that he’d seen this msn somewhere before. Where had he seen him?Just then, the man abruptly turned around in the direction he’d come from a

    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
