ALEXANDER'S POVMy eyes shot open at 6:00am as usual. I didn't have to look at the clock to know if it's 6:00 am. I've always had the urge to wake up once it's 6am and it has always been accurate. I took the duvet off me, slid out of my bed and began my daily routine beside my bed. My pillows were perfectly aligned and carefully laid on the bed, shelves pulled tight ,and my duvet folded just right. I nodded to myself when I saw the finished outcome. I walked over to my bathroom for the next chapter of my morning routine, it was a ritual I never missed; I brushed my teeth, washed my face and showered. I grabbed the outfit I put together last night and got dressed in it. My hair and makeup are always the last on my list as I do not want any colours or powders spilling on my dress. I wore my dress shortly after and took my time to do my makeup so it's fine each time. I nodded at the superb job and examined it on the mirror dresser. I finished my look with a high ponytail, and heels whi
ALEXANDER'S POVThis was the best news I had heard in weeks. I wasn't so surprised when I received the call from the company. The voice had sounded as soft and as calm as the lady I met the very first day I went to the office. I knew I would have the chance to work with him. You are asked to come to the office on Monday, I will prepare your appointment letter. I think the boss would like to have a word or two with you.'What time am I expected to be at the office Ma'am?' I was a bit confused.'10am is fine'. She replied.'That works just fine ma'am thanks'.'Enjoy the rest of your day'. She said and hung up after I responded to her with a 'thank you'When I finished my call with the lady over the phone I called Molly quickly when she picked up her phone I screamed into it like a desperate bitch. She sounded happier than I, who had just gotten an appointment. I was excited too even though I wasn't sure of the position yet, I knew I could work with him and I am ready to do whatever it t
ALEXANDER'S POVJust like the saying goes "all that glitters isn't gold". I lived a shadow of my life for over two decades. Sorting to please the entire society and my mother except myself. But to think that my mom would be so cruel as to do what she did was severely out of the point. If any one had to be mad that should be me. I mean all of this wouldn't have happened, we wouldn't have been in this mess if not for her attitude and quest for a position she could never get by herself. Maybe she was just a cheat like every other person, I just couldn't judge her. I was pissed, upset, battered as I remembered the incident that took my dad away that faithful evening.I had fought those demons for years and when I finally began to get a hold of myself I am being reminded that I had them locked up somewhere waiting to pop up and grin victoriously in my face.Her actions and cheating habit gave me the impression that I could never treat a woman right. I could never love a woman and all of th
ALEXANDER'S POV"Here comes the queen," I said mockingly, clasping my hands on each other as though I had been awaiting her arrival at the royal ball. She squirmed a bit unsure of what I meant by my little dramatic show."I hear chattering and voices from my inner room" she spoke with so much confidence, then turned to face all three of us at different times."What's the matter? And why is there so much chaos in my living room?" She inquired.Sophia who had walked shamefully to take a position on the couch scoffed and rolled her eyes making loud sounds with her bubble gum. It got me so irritated I wished I could strangle her right there. So nerves and insolence. Shamelessly spreading herself in a house she has secretly vowed to destroy."Alex, why are you here?" Wow," She now asks her only son why he is at her house. Brilliant."It's the ideal thing to say because we haven't been too good together lately" she pointed out"And whose fault is that?" I asked plainly.Alex I do not have
ALEXANDER'S POVWhile Helena and I allow our secret investigator to do his job. 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
ALEXANDER'S POVThere is no greater joy than having my son in my arms. A proud father and a successful CEO.Solara Helixia will be great again and even greater than anyone has ever imagined even after I am gone. I bless the day I succumb to my mother's pressure of taking this young and beautiful lady as a contract bride. I must say I am the most blessed man to have my entire being surrounded by massive blessings and goodness. This indeed was a miracle.The last few days gave birth to so much joy for me that I took a few days off work. 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
