Business Deal With The Hot CEO Chapter 141
Soon, the news about Selene’s case had spread around the whole city.Alex was in the office listening to the radio when the news came up. He immediately switched off his television.He didn’t want to hear anything relating to Henry and his deceitful ways. He had let him have Clara so he doesn’t need to be rubbed on his face every day about that.While some spread rumors without knowing the main story, others who remembered the story of the missing young man showed disgust towards Selene’s behavior.Both couples have been fighting and self-blaming themselves for their daughter's behavior.While Jackson blamed his wife for spoiling Selene a lot, Elizabeth blamed him for being weak and not being able to say it then.It was so serious that it almost led to a physical fight, but Mr. Roberts, being a gentleman, left the house for Elizabeth.It was during those reflections that he began to miss Clara’s mother. She was always there for him and always stood by him no matter what.Even without e

Alex wouldn’t forgive himself if anything happened to his wife. He made a big mistake by asking Henry.After all, like Clara said, it was the present that mattered not the past. If Henry really knew a lot, he wouldn’t have followed him to the graveyard.So he began to go to all the places that they had been to together. He was determined to find her. While he searched, he kept calling her lines, but they weren’t connecting.Isabel, the maid who assisted Annie, was beginning to go down and down every day. She can’t take it anymore and at this stage, she might blow mad.She listened to everything that Henry and Alex conversed through the window. No one had seen Clara yet. Was it the effect of the drug she fed her with?When they find her, is she going to send both her and Annie to jail?She couldn’t even think of that as she used both her hands to cover her ears. It was better she didn’t work here any more than be the first to dent their reputation.Her father would always tell them that

Alex had just arrived at the hospital. He couldn’t believe his wife had been unwell and he wasn’t aware of it.The nurses mentioned unconsciousness. How long had she been unconscious? Well, these were all the answers he would get to find out at the hospital.When Alex arrived, Clara couldn’t recognize him. She was still unconscious and had been saying the same words.“Sweet, it’s me. I didn’t abandon you. I’m here.” Alex said, but no matter what he said to her. She wasn’t acknowledging him.Then Alex began to check her phone. Right from the day she started acting strange, to that very day. He could believe that this was the handwork of Selene.Why was she keeping in touch with Selene? Clara had lots of questions to answer, but she had to get better first.Then the nurses told Alex how someone was feeding Clara with some memory-erase drugs but that was not what led to her condition.Some tests have been carried out on her and the results will soon be out.“Mmmm.”While Alex prayed it w

Alex followed the doctor to his office. He was keen to know what had transpired and what brought about it. But the doctor started by congratulating him.“Congratulations. Your wife is two weeks pregnant.” The doctor declared, projecting a handshake to him.“You see, there is no cause for alarm and there is no need for you to be afraid. Your wife might have been poisoned, but luckily, it didn’t affect the baby.”However, Alex’s expression had not changed. He didn’t appear to be optimistic or pleased with the news. He kept looking around to see if there was any other person the doctor was speaking to, but he was the only one.“Doctor, are you sure of what you are saying? Are you misplacing her results for someone else? You need to check well. My wife can’t be pregnant.” Alex cautioned the doctor.In other cases, men get excited with news like this. But in Alex’s case, he seemed to be so angry. Maybe they were not couples or something. The doctor thought.Whatever the cause may be, the do

The truth was that Clara was not even in the mood to read any letters or talk to anyone. Alex had broken her. All she had never thought of had happened.She looked at the note and pushed it aside. She didn’t know who it was from or what it was all about.Probably from the hospital or even from her job interviews. However, when she dropped it on the sofa, the name on it caught her attention.“Henry Brown?” Then she opened the letter and started to read it.“Why was everything happening today tragedy?” She questioned herself.All the duration she was unconscious, Clara didn’t know that Henry had won the case with Selene. He had traveled out of the States too. He didn’t even look for her, but he said he loved her.This was the reason why she never believed human beings, anybody who said they loved her always left. But why were they leaving at the same time?In the past, she would believe Alex and curse Henry. But she doesn’t even know who was hurting her more right now.“Are you okay?” A

The next day, Alex woke up in Jane’s apartment. He had completely passed out. He remembered calling someone the previous night, yet, he thought he had called Andrew. He never knew it was Jane he called.“Alex, you are up. Top of the morning.” She greeted.But Alex didn’t say anything to her. He had just remembered his family problems and all that he was going through.“It would be best if you do not say a word to me.”Right from time, Jane had always been temperamental. She doesn’t know how to handle the atmosphere sometimes and how to control herself.“Why? Why would I not say a word to you?” She asked but Alex ignored her.“Do you know how late at night it was when you called me? Do you know how I drove on the highway to come pick you up?”“Do you know how I contemplated between taking you home or bringing you here? I don’t know what happened and why you are being this way. But at least, be appreciative.”“You don’t just wake up, in my apartment and say I should not talk to you.” Ja

Elizabeth had been trying to get on Jackson’s good side. She can’t even believe that he wants to divorce her.She had begun to realize her mistake but no matter what she did, her husband’s mind was made up.“Honey, you can’t leave me like this. Not when I am passing through all these. Please you can’t leave me. You can’t.”One minute she talked like she was entitled, the other minute, it seemed she was pleading with him.In all, Jackson’s mind was made up.“When I divorced My first wife, didn’t you know she was sick? Wasn’t she dying? Her daughter had no one to run to.”“But despite all that, I told her I wasn’t interested. Why do you think yours would be different, woman?”“Since you came into my life, it’s been from one problem to another. Look what our daughter turned into.”“Please, please, I will change, don’t do this.” Elizabeth continued pleading but her husband’s mind was made up.One thing about men was that, whenever they made up their minds on something, there was no going b

“Let’s start with a thousand dollars,” Elizabeth replied and Annie kept smirking.“What a cheap thing!” Annie muttered to herself before agreeing to give her the money.In Elizabeth’s thinking, she needed to start with little amounts, then over time, she would proceed to call large sums for her.To Annie, Elizabeth was not even smart enough to ask for a reasonable sum, before she would be able to ask for the second payment, it would be very late by then.“Just send me your details,” Annie sounded off and that was how the call ended.Only a fool uses her daughter’s misfortune to threaten others. Annie, without wasting time, sent the money to Elizabeth.She needed something for a start so she decided to take care of little things, if every other thing kept her sad. At least, this would keep her happy. After Clara was chased out of the Peters family, she was so devastated and broken.She could recall Alex telling her that he didn’t trust all these charades that his parents were displayin

Alex put a call to Andrew. He told him a wedding was happening today and he should start sending out cards to people. If possible, to all the guests invited yesterday.“Are you sure this would work out, let's do proper planning,” Clara said, afraid it might turn out a flop.“Today is the day and we don't have a dress yet, even Sophie as the maid of honor doesn't.” Clara expressed more worry.“Have you forgotten who your husband is? You don't have to worry. Everything will be ready in minutes. Let’s go home.”Alex managed to convince Clara that it was possible and the three left for Alex’s mansion to get prepared.“There is an important person I would love to invite,” Clara declared in the car.“And who's that?”“My Dad.”Without much questioning, Alex instructed Andrew to send an invite to Mr. Roberts too.

As Alex stepped out, he began to call Clara’s line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.“Clara, your phone has been ringing for a while.” Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Clara’s phone rang again. She decided to see who it was.“Alex?” Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. She tried to wake Clara one more time but she was deep asleep.So the next time the phone rang, Sophia picked it up.“Sweet, you need to forgive me. I will explain in person. Where are you?” Alex asked,

Alex was speeding on the highway. He only needed to get to the location as fast as possible to stop whatever was going on there.His mind was occupied with thoughts of Clara.

It’s been three days since Clara started staying with Sophia. Life has been a bit fair.Sophia treated her so well that she was beginning to forget all she had been through.

When he heard about the wedding ceremony between Alex and Jane, he was shocked.No wonder Alex refused to further the case of his wife, what must have happened between him and Clara?So at that moment, he got out his phone and called Clara again.

Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.“Why did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.”Immediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h

Mandy had thought about everything she wanted to carry out.

It was a less busy day so Mandy just left for the manager's office without Clara knowing why.Having everything planned out, she spent more than thirty minutes explaining things which got the manager hooked.“Are you sure about this?” The manager asked, failing to believe all that was just said about Clara.“Sir, you can find out for yourself if you wish to.” Mandy guaranteed.“You may leave now.”After Mandy left his office, she came back to Clara like nothing had happened.“What took you so long? Did something happen?” Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.“Today is a bit boring.”“Yeah, I guess because the evening just started.”

Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around. She did the driving while Jane stayed beside her in the passenger's seat.Jane truly wondered what they were going to do and how Alex was going to react to this. “I'm sorry, Alex. I had to do this for us.” Jane prayed silently in her heart.They arrived at Alex’s mansion and learned that he wasn't at home but at work. Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew. He would listen to anyone speak, and acknowledge any information, but would never say a word unless it was Andrew.When Mrs. Peters and Jane arrived at the office, Jane wanted to stay behind, but Alex’s mum insisted she follow.Unfortunately, Alex’s secretary recognized Jane as the lady Alex warned her never to let in. But seeing her with Mrs. Peters, there was nothing she could do to stop her.She was not even able to notify Alex. Before she coul

Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her. Alex was her son and her emotions were justified.“I order you to begin to speak now! What is wrong with my son? Tell me all you know right now!” she roared and that truly scared Jane.Her desperation has put her in a tight corner. But No matter how long they hid it, Mrs. Peters is Alex’s mum and eventually, she would find out one day.“Speak Jane!” The order came again.Now, Since Jane was shooting her shot also. She would come off as emotional and also behave in all those traits they thought she never had.“Mum, I and Alex had gone our separate ways then, but the truth was that I couldn’t move on. We were so tender to make the right choice and proffer solutions.” Jane began off.Mrs. Peters was losing patience, this wasn’t

After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didn’t let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasn’t her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.“Ok, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.” Jane replied.“Expecting you soon,” Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didn’t hate Jane, but she didn’t love her so much either. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
