Jace walks into Alex's room only to be welcomed by the shocking scene before him “Christ! Alex what are you doing? Stop this!” Jace roars, taking out an injection and pumps the fluid into his neck.

Alex slumps to the ground falling asleep immediately.“Aunt are you okay? Am so sorry, thank God I got here on time. He ran out of his drugs and I had to order more that's why I wasn't at the ceremony.” Jace explains, rushing his words.

“It's okay am fine, will he be alright?” Mrs Jefferson asked, her chest heaved with fear and shock that her son almost killed her. She looks at Alex and almost burst out in tears, because she couldn't do anything to help him out of his misery.

“He will be fine don't worry, please just go to your room aunt” Jace said, to her soothingly after which she uses a scarf to cover the marks on her neck and leaves going straight to her room.

Jace lifts Alex to his bed and clean up his wounds. “ Today you almost killed aunt, what if I was a minute late?,you would have

    “ Oh just great, it's you no wonder the crowd” Debbie said, her eyes scanning the women ogling at Alex. “ You can't even apologize, are you a statue or something? Mr mute” Debbie whinged, trying to suppress her anger.Alex frowns at her words which went unnoticed “Get into the car, I will get it changed for you” Alex said, taking few steps to his car in an attempt to get in.“What do you mean by that? I ain't any of those women that would be swayed by your wealth” Debbie said, her tone serious leaving room for no doubt.The onlookers taking pictures of the scene,still in bewilderment that the CEO of AJ STYLES is standing and conversing with a woman! Something that has never happened before.“ I would advise that you get in,I don't have all the time in the world and am sure you've somewhere else to be?” Alex asked, getting tired of her tantrums.Debbie clears her throat having a second thought as she needed to be at her gallery “ Yeah sure.” She proceeds to the car and got in, seating

    PRIMEVILLE COLLEGE “I have been walking endlessly, and still can't find my department” Kate said, to herself dragging her feet and bag tiredly. “Hey,are you new here?” Camile asked, holding her books to her chest.“Yes” kate mutters, trying to avoid eye contact. “Wow really? I also just got here, my name is Camile and am in psychology department” Camile said, her face contoured a smile .Kate who seems worn out and uninterested in the conversation swiftly takes her head up, “Psychology department? I've been walking round the entire hallway looking for it, I'm Kate, nice to meet you” Kate said, breathing out in relief.“Good thing I found you here, nice meeting you Kathy c'mon we have a class now” Camile chuckles, both walking side by side towards their lecture hall.“ It seems we're a bit late, lectures have started let's sit right over there.” Camile said, tiptoeing to a chair by the doorway. “ This is the first class right?” Kate asked, taking her books out of her bag. She alread

    Alex got distracted and Debbie made a run for it not looking back till she was out of the company. And took a taxi in a rush as she felt she's still been watched.FLASH BACK ENDS…. “Nothing is going to ever take me back there” Debbie said, breathing heavily and heading to her room to take a shower._______“How did Tyson get through the security and straight to my office?” Alex asked, looking at the busy city through his office window. “He told them that you both are business partners” Jace replied, chuckling glancing at Alex's back view “what happened though?” He asked.“He walked in on me and that lady, why pretend to like me? I fûcking hate his guts. Tyson and his assistant has something up their sleeve, they have no idea who they are trying to mess with.” Alex responded, his eyes glistening with anger.“We'll be having a general meeting at their company, find out every piece of information that isn't known to the public” Alex said, turning to around to look at Jace and his face

    “Kate we should get going now, thank goodness the lecture ended in time” Camile spoke, right after the professor left the class. Kate chuckles “lazy brat, you only get serious with snaps and Instagram.” She said, putting her school bag on her right shoulder. “ Duhh I have a whole lot of fans and followers there, girls are ready to walk down the street naked just to meet with my brothers. It's funny how desperate this girls could get. I only post their pictures to get more followers, lucky me for having hot brothers.” Camile giggles.“Brothers? I thought you had just one?” Kate inquired, “ Nope my other brother is the owner of AJ STYLES, let's go I will just convince Candice to drop you off at your house.” Camile responded.“Wow I'm a huge fan, are you sure he won't disapprove?” Kate asked, feeling skeptical about the idea. “ Don't worry just trust me okay” Camile replied, putting a call through to Candice.They left the class walking down to the parking lot, Candice just stood his ha

    “Big sis! Am off to school, I don't wanna be late. I love you take care.” Kate said, loudly peeping through her sister's room. She left the house afterwards. Debbie woke up due to the noise, “ This girl won't be the death of me, she just had to scream and now I've got a migraine” she mumbled, holding onto her aching head.She stood up and got a beep on her phone “ Ah! So many orders, all from one freaking person!” she hollered, her eyes widened in shock instantly her headache vanished.She still couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at her phone screen to be sure that she wasn't seeing things. “ I only got the address to the place, I'll get to know who made those orders in person. It might be Zara's doing” Debbie reasoned, and rushed to take her bath.—---------“Hey! Kathy” Camile called out, causing Kate to abruptly stop right at the school entrance. “ Camile you came alone?” Kate asked, staring at her as she got out of the flashy SUV.“Yeah Candice is always late and I can't wai

    “ I'll order for some food, just sit down and get comfortable” Camile said, to Kate while she went ahead to get a better network to make the order. Kate sat down,her eyes scanning every detail of the apartment. She turns to the door upon hearing footsteps “ Hey you must be Kate, Camile's friend. I'm Cole, Candice's buddy nice to meet you.” Cole said, smiling at her. “Same here” Kate replied, timidly. “cole you're back, where's my brother and Zack?” Camile asked, as she got back in. “ I was at the library and I think your brother would be in his room fûcking as usual, Zack won't be any different.” He responded. “Since you girls are here, please just prepare a decent meal for us. All we've been eating are junks” Cole said, with both palms clasped together and his eyes looking pleadingly. “Maybe next time I already ordered food for all of us.” Camile said, casually scrolling through her phone. Cole sighs in defeat because there's no way he could convince Camile, to change her mind. “

    “This is my house, Miss painter” Alex spoke, having this bored look in his eyes. “ Miss painter? Your house?” She asked, confusion settling in. Then she gasps putting the pieces together.“You fûcking ordered those pictures, are you trying to mess with me? And you kept me locked up in here.”Debbie fumed, glaring hard at his imposing figure.Alex chuckles “ I wanted to teach you a lesson for degrading my company” he said, with his arms folded to his chest. “ I don't understand, how did you find out about me been an artist ?” Debbie inquired.Alex bent to her level “ You should be more worried that I would get to dig more into your personal life, I find you intriguing Miss painter” he said, lowly to her ears. Debbie swallowed hard.“ You can leave, there's nothing here for you” Alex said, his voice deeper than ever. Debbie's eyes brimmed with tears “ I pray we never cross paths” she sniffed. She carried the paintings with her when she heard a loud thud.Her eyes widened seeing Alex shak

    I know you won't let me be, gawd! This girl alright I'll tell you what happened yesterday” Debbie exhales, tiredly while nosy Kate sits quietly in expectant of the gist.Debbie sat upright on her bed, “I received orders from a client who needed alot of frames, I got stuck in traffic on my way there and I couldn't come back.” She lied.Kate squints her eyes “ But sis you never sleep outside because of your episode, have you met the client before now?” Kate asked, curiously.“ Of course he comes to the store most of the time. You don't have to worry nothing happened” Debbie said, faking a smile. “ Okay then, I wanna get dressed Camile will be here soon” Kate said.“That was too close, I don't want her to know that I actually went to Alex's house. She would freak out in a good way tho” Debbie chuckles, to herself. “ It's good I left before he woke up I don't want any more drama and it seems he's suffering from a disorder, this is the second time it's happening with me present.” Debbie s

    “ Cam, I thought I was dead” Kate uttered with quivered lips, her face etched in fear, Camile's arms wrapped around her as a means of comfort.“ I was scared to death, it was terrifying Camile” She cried profusely, her face all red and puffy.“ It's okay, everything is fine. Nothing happened to you, the doctor said you were in shock. Could you recognize anyone of ‘em ?” She asked.“ No, it was dark” she sniffed, “ it doesn't matter anyway, I'm just glad you're fine” she pulled Kate closer to her chest.“ Whose room is this?” Her eyes scanned the dark theme.“ It's Candice's room” Camile responded, “ He took you out of there just in time” She breathed out, her thoughts reeled on what would've happened if Candice didn't go back in.Kate sighed “ Why does he do it? He saves me and the next minute he acts like I disgust him, I don't understand” she muttered to herself.“ What did you say?” Camile looked down at her, their bodies entangled, “ I should thank him, he has been my knight in a

    “ Candice, where's Kate?” Camile asked, holding onto his shirt. He sighed and she glanced behind him, her eyes caught Kate being carried by Thaddeus.She withdrew her hand and moved closer to the duo “ oh my God, what happened to her?” She quivered unable to grasp the mishap, her friend looked lifeless and stained in blood.“ We should get to somewhere safe” Thaddeus suggests, putting Kate in the backseat of Candice's car. They drove swiftly out of the school.Candice carried Kate in his arms and into his house, heading straight for his room “ I'll call the doctor” Camile informed. “ You can leave now, she's safe here.” Candice said curtly whilst shooting a glare at Thaddeus.“ I'm not leaving till she's awake” he retorted, “ Suit yourself but not in my house” Candice dragged him by the collar and pushed him outside.“ What happened?” Cole asked right after the drama, “ The hunters, they attacked and Kate encountered one of them tonight.” He responded.“ Shit! Is she badly hurt?” Sho

    Debbie has her legs folded to her chest with her hands wrapped around her, she rocks herself back and forth, staring into space.Just when she thought, everything was right and in place, the one thing that made her feel sane and normal, was caught on fire. She sighs tiredly allowing her tears flow freely down her cheeks, every hardwork thrown into the mud, she might as well slit her wrist this very fûcking minute.She leans on her couch, glancing at every object in her small home, recalling how she started, from a scared little girl with the responsibilities of a parent. At that time, She only knew doctor Susan and she was familiar with rare cases like hers, she offered Debbie the best care and support while every other individual saw her as a burden. Being such a stubborn child, she didn't give in easily, she relapsed several times, went into the emergency room like a daily routine just to be revived, even therapy until the sudden revelation of paintings.She could be in a room for

    The school bell rings, jolting Kate out of her daydream “ I shouldn't be here” she mumbled, regretting her decision on leaving Debbie alone.She received a call from Camile about an impromptu test, it's something she couldn't afford to miss as it covers her grade for the semester.“ Hey, that guy has been staring at you” Camile said, gesturing with her eyes to the opposite direction.Kate glances and swiftly looks away “ it's Thaddeus or whatever his name is, remember the day I told you someone almost raped me” She whispers.“ Too bad he made such a move on you, he just entered my trash list and he looks so hot. Such a disgrace” Camile shakes her head.“ He's coming!” Camile informs her, “ Hi Kate” he stood in front of her but maintained a safe distance so as not to frighten her.Kate remained mute and looked around, the class is filled with students, there's no way he would make a move on her. She eased up a bit.“ I'm sorry about that night, I was drunk and stupid.” he cursed, Kate

    “Tyson?” Jace repeated, “ I know you both have had your differences but..” he paused, tracing Alex's eyes to the door.“ Why are you here?” Alex questioned, definitely didn't expect to get an odd visit from a not so friendly opponent.“ Oh wow that's my cue to leave but…” he sighs deeply “ Not until we discuss the reason for my arrival. The tension right here is palpable, did I come in at the wrong time?” Tyson asked staring at the two men upfront.“ You could have sent an email or your assistant” Alex raise a brow at him. Tyson chuckles “ Well yeah but nah I wanna be here in person” his lips curved up in a smirk. “ I got the award for the best historical attire of the year” he announced waving the sculpture-like silver award.“ You came all the way here, just to showoff? Are you that jobless?” Alex asked, a bit pissed at the moron. “ You can have that piece of shit, that ain't an award. Why don't you aim higher, huh?” “ Award to the best craftsmanship in clothing, I've won for eve

Grumpily she walks up to the door and unlocks it, the sudden force startling her “ Can't I get some sle..” her remaining words got stuck in her mouth. “ How'd you guys get here?” She asked, staring shockingly at Kate and Zara as they look at the room in admiration. Kate glares at her but ends up shrieking in excitement. ‘ overly dramatic’ Debbie thought inwardly whilst shaking her head. “ Seriously, Is that how you welcome us?” Zara asked, raising an eyebrow at her. “ Gosh sis, you didn't feel the need to tell me you and Mr Alex were a thing?” Kate pouts, “ I've been drooling the minute I saw the front gate, you're cat walking in a lot of money here. The only problem is that you don't catwalk” she sighs. “ Yeah I also wanna know why you didn't tell me, I'm your best girl Debs” Zara interjects, her shoulder sagged in disappointment. “ You just left us unannounced last ni

    “ What's wrong kate?” Candice asked, sensing the distress in her voice. He moves to the edge of the bed flipping the switch on just by the bedstand.She got pissed upon seeing Candice, lifting herself off the bed “ You fuckin prick!” She roared, if eyes could kill Candice memorial service could have be held at this very moment. “ Can't you just stay away from me, you're just so shameless.
