AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Eighty Six
ALEXANDER'S POV.It's a beautiful morning, to begin with. I had to resume work as the workload at my table increased drastically within the few days I was absent from work. Tons of documents to sign and approve and a pile of emails I intentionally left in my inbox. Family time was important to me as well as work and I never hesitate to strike a balance between the two whenever I deem it necessary. I was sitting in my office rocking myself happily on my seat, slowly munching on the potato chips my wife had packed for. I was on my way to work this morning when suddenly I heard a knock that seemed like a catch from a lion's paw on my door. I paused and listened again making sure I wasn't delusional or being deceived by my senses. The knock came again. "Come in," I said, hurrying to crack out the larger pieces of potato chips I had stuck in my mouth. My eyes widened hoping to see anyone else other than James or any of the other staff. It's better to have a shameless time with my staff

ALEXANDER'S POVBy the time Sophia left my office I was pissed. Too upset to concentrate. I got up from my seat and tossed my office from wall to wall, edge to edge flipping the pen I held in my hand with no exact purpose. I sighed. Then finally decided to pause by the window side. A tiny bird rested on the rear eaves of the building across from my office. I watched it hit its beak picking on what seemed like dust from the far end I was standing. I smiled. Even birds have to sort out their daily food. I thought in my mind. Solara Helixia is a great company owned by my father and before his death, the company flourished so well that it won so many awards. My mother, Mrs. Isabella Stone is a rare gem. I couldn't have come this far without her help. Even though we had our ups and downs, she was always in my way to ruin what I love doing yet I honored her so well. I was fearless with a physique that everyone dared not to look at me twice yet I shrank when my mom spoke. I wasn't the

HELENA'S POVThis has to be the happiest day of my life. I never would have thought that the reconciliation between Alexander's Mom and me would come in so handy. I couldn't stand watching her cry, I couldn't stand looking at her eyes, the way they turned red and read sincere remorse. I was pleased and joyful that she showed up even when I least expected it.

HELENA'S POV.My Dad stood with his mouth gaping at Mrs. Stone. And so was I. "A brand new house" "Ya. It's All yours" she said with a smile on her face. By now she had gone over to carry one of the babies in her arm. "They are so cute". She says I smiled nodding my head in agreement. I was happy I didn't witness this alone. From being a wife on paper to being his real wife. "I thought about how to come clean of my Sins and that was the only thing that kept ringing in my heart. You can keep the land too".For real? I asked in surprise. I batted my eyelids at her. Letting out a soft chuckle. This has to be a miracle. Looking into my dad's eyes I could see the excitement he was trying to hide. He blushed and smiled from ear to ear. I could remember just a few months ago how both families were all fist and blood because of some hidden reasons. Those nights alone in my room were the most horrible nights of my life as I could recall the hot arguments with Alex and how his mom treate
