Bianca who has been watching the whole scene was surprised at who Mrs Bridget came to see, she recognize Alicia because Mrs Bridget had once shown her Alicia's picture, and even though she had a bit difficulty recognizing her due to the changes in her, she eventually did in the end.She hurriedly put her head down when Mrs Bridget's car drove past her and she was glad Mrs Bridget didn't take notice of her car, she must have been too pissed to even notice and Bridget saw that as a good thing.After Mrs Bridget's car left, Bianca raised her head up and sat properly, she couldn't tell what made Mrs Bridget meet with her son's ex-wife, but from the look of things, it should be beneficial to her and she was also thinking of meeting up with Alicia too, just to mark her territory and make it clear to her that she won't let her come between her and Adams, she knows her face well now, all she needs to do next is find out where she lives and that she's going to do.She stayed in her car thinkin
"I'm really sorry I didn't tell you Alicia." May apologized."CLE?" Alicia questioned, May nodded."I swear I didn't know it was Adams company at first, actually I was searching for possible companies with available position in the marketing department and I saw three companies that had good reviews, CLE happens to be one of them and the top one at that, I only took note of the reviews and me being desperate to get a job, I applied immediately and after the application I began doing more research on the companies and that was when I found out that Adams was actually the CEO of CLE, I had already submitted my application before I even knew about it and I didn't think I would get the job there too due to their high demands, I swear I was going to tell you even if you hadn't asked."Alicia smiled. "I was only kidding May, I can't believe you'll think I'll get mad because you're working at Adams company, I mean why would I want to get mad because of that, whatever happened between I and A
Adams was on a business call with one of his company investor when he heard a knock on his door, he turned to look at the door then he covered his phone with his left hand before asking the person to come in.When Adams saw it was Mike, he rolled his eyes at him before continuing his conversation with the investor.Mike didn't fail to notice how Adams rolled his eyes when he saw him, the moment he took a sit opposite Adams, he rolled his eyes back at him.He waited until Adams was done with the call before saying anything."Good morning boss.'' He greeted with a smile.Adams frowned a little bit, something wasn't right because Mike never refers to him as boss, the rat only calls him Adams."What do you want Mike?" Adams relaxed into his chair."Nothing much, just came to check up on you and also give you this.'' He placed a big brown envelope in front of Adams. "That's the research you asked me to make on the other company, apparently they're not much of a competitor so you shouldn't
The first place Adams went to was Alicia's house and he wasn't even aware that Bianca was following him. He hurriedly came down from his car and rushed to her doorstep, he rang the doorbell twice but no one came to answer it.Adams was starting to get a bit frustrated but he wasn't going to give up, he remembered the information Mike sent to him about the publishing company Alicia works with, he immediately brought out his phone from his pocket and searched for it, when he saw the name of the company, he sighed in relief, he went rushed back to his car and drove off immediately, still not aware of the fact that Bianca was still following him.When Adams arrived at Golden publishing he stayed in his car for a little while to catch his breath, he was about coming out of his car when he saw Alicia coming out of the company with a man, the man looked so familiar and as he stared at the man for sometime he finally realized who the man was. The man standing with Alicia was Ashton Kutcher,
"Are you okay Alicia?" Daniel asked, he's Alicia's publisher as well as the head of Golden publishing. He had noticed the change in Alicia's countenance when she came in and he was surprised because he'd expected her to be all smiles and happy after her discussion with Ashton Kutcher who had once worked on a script with her before and is willing to sign another contract with her again."Yes Daniel, I'm fine, why do you ask?""Because you clearly look upset, did Ashton do or say anything upsetting to you?" "Of course not.'' Alicia hurriedly replied. "You know too well that Mr Ashton is a good man, and don't mind me, I'm just tired so tired since it's been quite a long day."Daniel nodded in understanding. "True, since the meeting with Ashton is over and it turned out to be successful, you can go home now Alicia, go home and get some rest because you need it."Alicia checked her wrist watch, then she sighed. "I was hoping to pass time at the company as I wait until it's time to go pick
Bianca was left stranded on the road, apparently Mike took her to a place she doesn't even know, he dangerously warned her to stay away from Adams and then he left her all by herself in an unknown place, she tried calling him to come back as he drove off but he didn't even listen to her.As she looked around the area she was at she couldn't help but to cry as she couldn't tell where she was and her car was at Golden's publishing, she would have called someone but there was no signal in the area and she couldn't help but come to a conclusion that Mike did that on purpose, he dragged her to an unknown place and left her here all alone, not caring what happens to her.She was so scared to leave the spot she was standing because she didn't know what kind of things she's bound to face in this lonely place, but she needs to get a signal on her phone so she could call someone who will come help her out of this goddamn place, and in her search to get a signal, she began wandering around.This
"How did it go?" Mike asked Adams as he returned to the living room with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses."What can I say? It didn't go well at all, she hates me so much Mike, and that damn bitch had to come add more fire. Why would she even do that? Why would Bianca do that!?" Adams spat, obviously still very angry.Mike sat beside him and poured a drink for both of them, the moment he filled up Adams glass, Adams took the glass and gulped everything down, Mike looked at him briefly before refilling his glass, and Adams did the same thing again."It wouldn't help if you kill yourself with this you know."Adams took the bottle from him and poured himself another glass. "But it'll help ease the pain a little, I can't think of anything else than to just get drunk right now." He replied before gulping down the glass and pouring himself yet another glass."You know Mike, I don't think Alicia is ever going to forgive me, each time she looks at me...all I see is nothing but so much hatr
May was busy working on her laptop, she was so into what she was doing that she didn't even notice when Mike walked into her department and came to stand behind her.He bent down a little and whispered. "What are you working on?"May who was startled mistakingly slapped his face before jumping up in freight."Ouch!" Mike hissed in pain.When May saw him she covered her mouth. "I... I'm so sorry, you startled me, I didn't mean to hit you." She apologized."It's fine, I just didn't want to speak so loud and bother the other workers." Mike replied. May looked around to see the other workers staring at them, she apologized for the noise and they all went back to what they were doing."Come with me." She took Mike's hand and dragged him away.When they got outside her department, she let him go, something Mike wasn't pleased about since he missed the contact the moment she let go of his hand."What in the world are you doing here?" May asked, folding her hands across her chest."I just th
The door to the wedding hall opened and all heads turned to look at Alicia, she also couldn't believe that there would be so much people in attendance. The path she would walk had flowers on it and the one who had done that was Diane since she was the made the flower girl. Alicia looked at Adams and she couldn't help but smile, Mr Antonio was right beside her, he was going to walk her down the isle. As he walked her down the isle, everyone began clapping and cheering so loudly. Adams couldn't hold back his tears, his eyes was fixed on Alicia alone, she looked so beautiful and it could only make him realize how lucky he was to have such a woman by his side, they've been through so much together, there's been so many ups and downs, so many obstacles but those challenges had only made them closer and their love stronger. He was so thankful when he proposed to her and she accepted, he had foolishly let a jewel like her go once, but he's never ever going to do that again, this time he's
The first place the police went to search for Ashton was his home, when they arrived they couldn't find him anywhere, then they began searching all the rooms.Meanwhile, Evie who was tied up and locked in Ashton's closet began making muffling screams, alerting the police that were in his room, they hurriedly went to open the closet and were shocked to find a woman tied up in there. The police loosed the rope Ashton had used to tie up her hands and then removed the tape from her mouth.Evie couldn't stop crying and pleading for the police to save her."It's alright Ma'am, you're safe now, you're safe now." The head officer assured her, he then went on to ask her who she was and why she was being locked up in there.When Evie mentioned her name, it instantly ringed a bell. "Evie Blair?" The officer questioned, just to be sure he heard correctly."Yes officer, my name's Evie Blair and I..." Evie trailed when she noticed the look the head officer gave to the other officer beside him."W..
The police has been questioning Adams, asking him about the location of Alicia but he kept on telling them that he doesn't know, they even threatened to torture him so they can get the truth out of him, but Adams words never changed no matter what they said to him.One of the officers interrogating him got so frustrated and was about torturing him when another officer interrupted them, he told them that they just got a tip about Alicia's whereabouts and that she's in Adams company, locked in his office.On hearing this, the officers glared dangerously at Adams. "So that's where you've been keeping her huh? Locked away in your office thinking no one will ever find her right?""W... what?" Adams stuttered in disbelief. He tried speaking with the police, but the wouldn't hear him out, they forced him up and took him back to his cell, telling him to pray hard that nothing bad happens to Alicia otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.The police hurriedly drove to Adams compan
When Ashton left Adams company, he went straight to the police station to lodge a complaint about Alicia missing, he also showed them a text he claimed she sent him, telling him that she was in trouble and that he should come help her. He accused Adams of being the one who kidnapped Alicia and pleaded with the police to save her before Adams does something bad to her.With the evidence he provided and the police knowing that Alicia was a renowned author, they swung into action immediately and went in search of Adams first, not caring about his status in the country. The police went to Adams mansion to look for him but there was no sign of him or anyone at home, just when they were about to leave, Adams car drove in, he and Mike were both confused when they saw the police at his home.They stopped him halfway into his home and asked him to get down from his car, pointing their guns at him and warning him not to try anything otherwise they would be forced to shoot at him."What the hel
It was getting dark, everyone who attended May's funeral had left, Adams stayed back with Mike for a little while longer because Mike wasn't ready to leave then, but now he was, he thought Alicia would be back by now since she's been gone for too long and there's no sign of her anywhere."I'll go look for Alicia, she's meant to have been back by now." Adams said to Mike.Mike nods in reply. "I'll be right here." He said and then he took a sit beside May's grave. Adams looked at him for sometime, he felt so sorry for his best friend, he heaved a deep breath and went to look for Alicia.Adams searched the whole area, he even called out to her but still nothing, he couldn't find her anywhere and that's when he began to panic. He searched everywhere he could but still couldn't find her, in fear he ran back to Mike."I...I can't find Alicia anywhere." He said, breathing heavily."What?" Mike asked as he instantly stood up. "What do you mean you can't find her anywhere?" "I can't find her
Today's May's funeral. Alicia couldn't believe how many people from her work place attended her funeral, each and everyone of them all had nice things to say about her, evidence of how kind she was and how she's lived a good life.Alicia, Mike and Adams all stood in front of her grave holding flowers in their hands, they couldn't bring Diane along so they had her stay with Adams parents. While they both tried to be strong for the sake of Mike, Mike couldn't stop crying. Alicia dropped her flower on May's grave then she told Adams that she needs some time alone, she asked him to be with Mike and that she'll be back once she feels better. Adams understood that she needed sometime alone and simply let her leave.Alicia took a little walk, she went somewhere a bit far from where May's funeral was being held, when she was alone, she was able to let out all her emotions, every memory about May flooded through her head, causing her so much pain and making her weep bitterly. "I'm so sorry Ma
Mike laid on his bed, staring at a photo of May in his hands, he had large dark circles underneath his eyes, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, they also seem to have lost their spark. His room was so dark since he had pulled the curtains of the window together, refusing to let in any light.The longer he stared at her, the more the image of her lifeless body appeared in his mind, he's never ever going to be able to forget about that day, thinking about it was driving him even more insane, sometimes he even hallucinate, he sees her everywhere and kept on crying that he wants to be with her."I want to be with you May." He whispered in tears.He kissed her photo and dropped it on his bed, then he slowly got out of bed, since he hasn't eaten or drank anything for three straight days, his body was so weak and he staggered, he almost fell but he quickly held onto the table by his bed side. When he was calm, he slowly walked to his window side and separated the curtains, the moment
The news about May's death already spread across all media like wild fire. Mike, Alicia and Adams were all devastated, but her death hit Mike the hardest, this was the woman he loved and he came home only to meet her lifeless body drowning in a pool of her own blood. The police has already started investigating the case, they had no lead at all as to find out who was responsible for May's murder. They were able to tell that it was a man who's behind this due to the cctv footage outside Mike's apartment but that was all since there was no footage of his face at all, his face was well hidden.The news eventually got to Ashton and the only person he could think of was Evie, afterall, the questions she was asking him about May made him suspicious since he saw no reason why she would leave their original plan and focus on May who's not even important. He grabbed his phone and called Evie, asking her of her whereabouts. Evie gave him her home address and he immediately left his office, head
Marcel was having a drink when he heard a knock on his door, knowing who it was already, he hurriedly went to open the door.The moment Evie walked in, he greeted her but she ignored him, she saw the drink he had poured for himself, took it and went to take a sit on his bed.Marcel was already used to her behavior, so he could only smile when she did this, he went to get another glass and poured himself another drink."How have you been boss? What happened to your face?" He asked, his voice laced with concern and worry."What do you think?" Evie replied, taking a sip of her drink. "A bitch did this to me."When Marcel heard this he was shocked, for all the times he's known Evie, no one has ever dared to hurt her like this. Whoever that person is, they've definitely made a huge mistake."Anyways, she's the same reason why I brought you down here, you're the only one I can trust with a job like this Marcel, so let's get to business." She brought out her phone from her purse and sent a t
