I can say that we have enjoyed a little peace at least no one would come in here bugging me to own up to some responsibility I know absolutely nothing about.I was sitting on the laid laid-out balcony that evening listening to my favorite old country music and giving Helena a little foot massage. From my records or at least the little I have come to learn about pregnancy she should be due in a few more weeks. I just can't eat to hold my little king in my hand. I had promised myself to be a father, a protector, a guardian, and a leader to my little adorable. I couldn't wait to hold him so tight and sniff his infant innocent scent into my nostrils. The evening was cool as it was the last month before the winter started creeping in.Wait a minute Helena suddenly says as I press a thumb into her feet."What?" I asked pm about the hard labor I have been subjected to for more than half a year now."Look what Sa

ALEXANDER'S POVWith the way things are beginning to unravel right in front of us, I began to wonder what would have happened if we had invited the detection right from the beginning. I was in the conference room with a few other CEOs, some about my age and others older than myself. We had all presented and perched perfectly. I knew my company would be hitting this mega gift the moment I stepped in. It didn't take long for me to finish and I was asked to sign the contract ASAP. I was excited and happy that my pen began to tremble. I haven't hit any gig since the trouble began at Solara. Since Don Derego has vowed to keep stealing our clients. Well for this major contract, I had my terms. I presented it to them. At first, they were skeptical and wondered why my company would ask them to pay 50 percent of all investment funds to us if they bridge the contract before the due time.I smiled and responded in the most professional way that I could. Just when I was about to leave I met Don De

HELENA'S POV.The doctors quickly cleaned me up and wheeled me out of the labor room on the stretcher. The last four hours might just be the last four hours I've ever had in my life.I summoned the courage to push them out of my body. Alex has been wondering why my baby bump grew so big and I bet he understands now that only a woman knows what she carries inside of her. The joy of having my children in my arms. I couldn't have asked for a better blessing. This bundle of joy is the consolation I have for all the troubles I survived while I was pregnant. What more do I have to say than to smile, hugging my babies in my arms.?"Baby you made it ''."No, Alex. We made it" I told him in between my little giggles."Yes, we did". He responded and kissed me on my head. He held my hand and sat for a while before his phone ran."I have to take this call", he informed me and walked out of the door. My little men were lyings in their baby court. Looking all cute and sweet. I wanted to squeeze bot

James and the others would manage the team and anytime they wanted to reach me via mail I was sure to respond.We are home now. And I can't take my eyes off my babies. I could spend the next few hours kissing and hugging them one after the other." Can they see me yet?". I asked too ignorant or excited to know."Not yet Alex, they are just two days old," Helena pointed out."So you mean they can't see me?" Yes huh, give them a few more days and they wi
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Eight Five
ALEXANDER'S POV The news of Derego's arrest came as a shock to me. I mean he was a strong man and a Don no one would miss with. Even though I have had clashes with him on several occasions. He has been a serious pain in the ass for me and my entire family. Helena and I took our seats on the bed to get the full idea of the reason for his arrest. I quickly picked up my phone and dialed my mother's number. She has to hear from them as soon as possible and I needed to inform her about the new development just in case she had slid on the information. I pushed out her contact from my last call log even though she hasn't come all the way to visit my newborn. That wasn't even a problem to me. She needed time to heal from Sophia's deceit. She needed time to come to terms that Helena is the only woman I want to be with. She needed time to forgive herself for being mean, rude, and heartless towards Helena and her family. I hadn't spoken to her in days but each time I went to her house her
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
AGAINST THE TIDES Chapter Eighty-Seven
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
