Hello. Sorry for not being able to post updates immediately. I'm just completing the remaining chapters on my other novel so I can be able to concentrate on this one much better. Hoping for your understanding and thank you so much for your never ending support. Take care!
Alex, pulling her jacket over her front went through the revolving doors of Gallagher Enterprise and proceeded towards the reception counter the following day. She took off her cap and smiled calmly at the available receptionist, who only looked at her up and down. “Pick up or delivery should be towards your left,” she told Alex calmly. She placed a clipboard on top of the counter with a pen attached on it. “You just need to sign here so I can give you an ID pass.” “Um, no,” Alex responded patiently. She pulled out her ID. “I’m here to see Cameron Gallagher please.” “Do you have an appointment with Mr. Gallagher?” The receptionist asked, glancing at her computer while reaching for Alex’s ID. She typed her name and waited for the database to respond. “I’m sorry. But your name is not on Mr. Gallagher’s calendar for today. Would you like me to book an appointment for you? He has an available slot on Friday afternoon. Though I have to inform you that this will be for approval. Mr. Galla
Alex stared into the night the following evening, with her arms crossed over her chest as she listened from the sound inside as a news reporter recounted the details of another assassination attempt at Cameron Gallagher from the TV.“You already set out to warn him,” Damon snapped at her hardly when he caught her about to leave the house a few hours ago, where they are staying in. “If he does not take your warning seriously, then it’s no longer your concern. Marshall doesn’t want to risk exposing you further.”“I’m going there to give him a piece of my mind!” She retaliated.“Don’t tell me that you’re starting to care for him, Alex,” he mocked bluntly.Alex only cursed at him angrily.Damon gave her a hard look and turned his back on her when his phone rang. He answered the call and listened to the caller before hearing him curse and ending the call.“Colton’s in the company’s server and tracking the mole,” he relayed to her seriously. He walked towards the ref and pulled out two bott
Zach went out of his car after parking across the street from the address that Worthington had given him last night. He looked around the vicinity and crossed the street, walking along the block and staring down at the brochure he is holding.The brochure is about a certain property that is owned by Buchanan Holdings and Zach had to hold himself well in order not to crumple the paper angrily. Just the thought of the man instantly rose his anger. The man that Alex puts her trust the most and Zach found himself getting riled up with jealousy.He hadn’t slept well.Not since those three wild nights he had spent with Alex. His desire only furthered especially when she just casually walked out on him as if nothing had happened. He couldn’t stop thinking about her since.Jacinta had called him up a couple of times and Zach found himself being less responsive. Thinking about it, he felt guilty for the cold treatment that he has been giving her and told himself to make it up with her when she
Alex looked at herself in the mirror, studying the black, fitted sequin gown that she is wearing that night. The dress is long sleeve but it didn’t distract the physical attributes that she possesses. She put on some brown contact lenses to conceal her eye color and had her very short, black hair brushed up.Tonight, their team as well as Zach’s will be entering Gallagher Enterprise to hack through the system. After finding out that Cameron will be hosting a party tonight with some VIPs, investors and his board of trustees in the building, Alex immediately informed her father and Damon. A plan was then laid out and after she met with Director Worthington and Zach, she set out on a quick shopping spree for her role tonight.She applied light make-up on her face but put on a dark, red lipstick.She looked simple but alluring.“Montgomery might be in a mood tonight, if I may say.”Turning around, she saw Damon leaning on the doorway, with his hands in his pockets and looking at her inte
Zach watched with cold eyes as another man in his fifties approached Alex and introduced himself to her, ignoring the fact that he is beside her. He casually turned towards a waiter and took two champagne flutes and handed one to her after she shook the man’s hand.“This is Zachary Montgomery, Mr. Brooks,” Alex introduced patiently. She smiled at Zach charmingly. “Babe, Mr. Brooks is into real estate and development. He’s currently developing a commercial complex due north.”“It’s a pleasure, Mr. Brooks,” Zach said tightly, shaking his hand firmly.“Montgomery?” The older man repeated, cocking his head. “Are you by chance related to Mont-Beacon Hospital?”“Oh, he is!” Alex answered for him. She patted the man’s shoulders briefly. “You’ve got a great memory on you, sir considering the load of work you have.”“Oh, it’s nothing, my dear,” Mr. Brooks boasted at her.“Do you know my mother, Mr. Brooks?” Zach interrupted dryly. “I’ll definitely let her know that we had met tonight.”The two
Alex struggled from Zachary’s tight hold as the building in front of her eyes is being engulfed in large flames and collapsing. She shouted in despair as there was another explosion and she tried to elbow him to loosened his hold on her.“Let go of me!” She shouted angrily. “Ashley! Aunt Vickie!”“Get a hold of yourself, Walters!” Zach yelled back at her. He pulled her back with his one hand while his other hand reached for his phone and pressed a number. “This is Montgomery. There’s an explosion here at Urban Diner and I need all responding agencies immediately!”Feeling herself weakening at the sight in front of her, Alex dropped on her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks unmercifully. She could hear Zach talking to her but she could hardly hear him as she watched the diner, she had painstakingly put up with her aunt go down from the flames.The sound of sirens can now be heard and when Alex turned at one direction a strong jet of water finally appeared and started putting out th
WARNING: This Chapter contains mature/sexual content. Read with discretion. Zach opened his eyes when he heard the elevator sound, the doors opening to Alex’s apartment floor level. He went out from the car and proceeded to her unit and then punched the security code to her door. He then went inside, securing the door by bolting it properly, he looked around the dimly lit unit before proceeding to the kitchen opened the refrigerator. He reached for a bottle of beer, opened it and downed it immediately. He needed the alcohol to calm his nerves and make him sleep immediately. Instead of staying for three hours as he had told Alex, he extended another two hours when aside from the gas leak that the investigators had found, one in the bomb squad team discovered three IED explosives. Zach then realized that those three were the reason why the entire building was wrecked. He frowned when he saw there was no more beer left inside the ref and then looked at the counter and saw four empty b
WARNING: This Chapter contains mature/sexual content. Read with discretion.Alex felt herself being lifted off her feet and a few seconds later, she was dropped on the bed. She looked up and saw Zach hovering above her as he placed each hand on her side, trapping her.“What do you mean I have to keep him distracted the entire tomorrow?” Alex scoffed a few hours ago when Damon called her. She closed the door to the unit and proceeded to the kitchen, opening the ref and reached for a beer. “Damon, I went through one of my biggest nightmares and now that?!”“Colton informed me that he caught Elise sending an encrypted message to Montgomery,” Damon explained coldly. “Julia and Murray will be sneaking into his townhouse to bug all his tech. We need whatever info that he will be getting, Alex. You know that.”“Why does it have to be that tactic?” Alex asked. “I can just knock him out cold or spike his drink until we’re done. His phone’s got the tracker and bug as well. Shouldn’t that be eno
