CHAPTER FORTY SEVENALEXANDER'S POV.Today has been one hell of a stress for me. Merging the stress from work and the storm raging at my home wasn't just a thing for any weak man. I was drained emotionally and otherwise. I tracked my mom down to her executive office on the fifth floor of Solara Helixia, our family company building. It was nearly noon, and sunshine streamed through the floor-to ceiling windows of the ultramodern, European-styled office. The desk was a stark white, plastic with rounded edges. no drawers and a Plexiglas top that reminded me of my kindergarten days. The chair matched, molded plastic with white vinyl cushions. While the white shelf unit behind my mom held numerous impressionist glass objects and paintings which she'd likely paid a fortune for.Her computer was a bright white flat screen with a sleek marching keyboard, there wasn't a single piece of paper in the office. The only splash of color was a metallic abstract painting, in aqua and silver on the si
HELENA'S POVAfter I shoved the envelope on his chest I went upstairs. I already knew what he wanted to say and I didn't have the time for that. I was disappointed at him and if no one would believe me he would have at least had a little trust for me. I walked majestically to my room and sat on the bed. I brought out my phone from my bag and dialed Gabriel's number. It wasn't even up to a second the phone started ringing he picked up. I wanted to tell him I was home and also to be sure if he was okay and home too. " You good?""Yes I am. I'm home actually, I called to say that". I told him over the phone."I'm just a few miles away from home. Thanks for checking though Gabriel said. We had nothing much to talk about since we had just spent the entire day together.I am exhausted, I need to catch some rest, I informed him. He quickly agreed saying he would call back later. I thanked him and got up to ease myself. Urinating every two seconds was something I was already used to. I went
CHAPTER FORTY NINEThings were beginning to go well for us and thankfully I have decided to brass myself up to any standard. Not even an external enemy would be able to stand me at this point. To my mom I will always be her boy and do as she says but she was quite mistaken. She has tied me around her fingers for too long. Helena and I decided to go on a beach house trip. This is something she had always wanted to do. I hadn't visited my beach house in about two years since I wasn't really a fan of the sea salt smell thing. It was a Saturday. The evening sun rose from the left horizon. It was in the evening , around 6pm; Helena and I were sitting on the beach, looking at the sea and the sun, and with Helena beside me fully dressed in her beach wear and hat. While I had my floral shirt and shorts on exposing my thick straightñ legs. I enjoyed looking into the horizon of the sea where the sky and the water were merging together, how the waves were covering each other, and the sun that
ALEXANDER'S POV.How can you even suggest a thing as disgusting as this?" What do you want to deny? Didn't you grace her bed? Come off it Alex and stop acting like you never enjoyed rocking your chaft on her groins."Mom, I don't know what she told you but I have to tell you that Sophia is lying to you. I do not have a child with her.My mom scoffed. Arms folded across her chest as she swayed her head from left to right. She didn't even listen to one word I had to say.Yes, I had a few nights with Sophia but it was just a fling and that was way back. I couldn't imagine how my mom was able to dig out such a ridiculousPast. And Sophia never told me she was pregnant for me when we were together or even after we broke up so why now. Why the sudden news of me having a child with Sophia. I have been caught in the neck. A position I can't shift from or deny with just my word of mouth I needed proof." You can't force that child on me". I said as I made to follow her out of the deck. Then I
CHAPTER FIFTY ONEHELENA'S POV.I could no longer bear the pain of betrayal and humiliation from Alex any more. I mean this minute we are sweet and the next a storm is raving to destroy the sweet moment we have built. I have been a victim of tragedy all my life and now that things hadn't gotten out of hand was the best time to leave. But then again I was heavily pregnant. Who was going to look after me and the baby.I quickly packed my things and dialed Gabriel's number. He was always read to help and always available."Hey Helen"."Gabriel, where are you?"At the store, a few miles from your home"."I'm not home and I want you to come pick me up."Where exactly?".Thompson's garden beach house"."Oh! Are you there with Alex?" He asked. I could feel the smile forming up in his face as he spoke."With Alex, yes! But I don't want to be with him anymore please come take me away from here before they kill me""Helena, what are you doing?" Alex asked again.She didn't mind if his voice wa
ALEXANDER'S POV.Looking out the window of my large office on the last floor. Being a man was nothing as easy as it seemed to be. The fear of losing everything I had ever worked for has never left my mind for one second since I left Helena at the hospital the previous day. I hadn't gone to see her because she is still angry at me. So the Doctor said. Her anger was the list on my worry list. I had recieved a call to expect an investor at about 9am. I hurried myself to work hoping I had kept the guest waiting which was usually not my thing to do. But to my greatest dismay the client had even shown up yet.I quickly scroll through my system to check the mails u had received over the weekend. So I spent the time I had left to respond to them. I hate being kept hanging. I was the boss in this game and anyone who wants to partner with me must go according to my rules here. I rule here, I am the one and only King Alexander Stone aka the Tiger.I got fed up and quickly picked up the receive
ALEXANDER'S POV.Who the hell are you?I asked. Fixing my Gaze on the man who was standing in front of us. He was about 6 feet 3 inches tall with broad shoulders and wild eyes. He had his hair brushed neatly in a ponytail behind his back. He flashed a smile abroad and said nothing, puffing out slight almost invincible smokes from his cigarette. He was dressed in black suit and pants and as he stood there dragging in every smoke the tattoo on the exposed part of his chest seemed to broaden.I turned to James in awe and surprise then back to the man who has decided to remain mute in front of us."Hey look, you are not going to walk up in my office and act like you owe this place. I said. The man chuckled and puffed out another mouth full of his cigarette smoke."You must think you are smart". He said and took a few steps forward then paused at a short distance so Jane and I could get a full view of his huge body. " I asked a question and you haven't answered," I told him." Well you wi
ALEXANDER'S POVAfter we stared into each other's eyes for what seemed so long I couldn't recall how long we stared. He flashed me a wicked smile before putting his hat back on his head. I made to hit him but thought about my actions since I was unarmed and didn't know if he had any weapon with him. Of course, I was sure he wouldn't have gotten me to the premises with a weapon strap to his body. He grinned and worked out. "What the fick was that?"James asked. Looking more puzzled than I am. "You ask me? You saw all that happened yourself". " I am being threatened by a man I have nothing to do with. I mean what has the world turned into?"I could swear with my life I do not know this man. "What are you going to do now? ""I don't know James but I will figure something out as soon as possible". I took in a short heavy breath and then exhaled as soon as I took it in. I rushed over to my desk and put a call through to the security outside. Holding the receiver to my ears. "Boss""
