Nortia's POV

I waited until he was gone before I sneaked out, almost racing down to the company because I knew they would be worried sick by now.

This was a first for me, so I was so certain I was going to be cut some slack.

Pulling the door open, my steps came to a halt when I stood in front of my cubicle but someone else was already seated, one who wasn't me.

I swallowed down the lump in my throat while I managed to muster up the energy to ask.

“ This is mine, why are you here?”

A young girl gave me a smile before picking up an envelope.

“ I was asked to hand you this in case you come in here”

I snapped it open, my heart plummeting at what I saw.

“ They can't…they just can't…” I whispered.

I had worked so hard to get here, and I was supposed to be promoted, so why was I getting sacked?

“ Who?” My grasp tightened around the envelope as I demanded an answer.

“ It was here when I got in here with the instructions boldly written on it”

I walked across the marble tiles, headin

    Alexis's POV She went rigid against my arms, showing she wasn't expecting me, was that gratitude I see in those eyes? Her sister, who had forced herself up, had a smile on her face as she stared at me. Conjuring up a tone I knew wasn't real, she asked.“ And you are?” “Alexis Williams” “ Alexis Williams!” Her mother yelped out, before clasping a hand over her mouth. “ The Alexis Williams? Or…”I held out a hand at her. “ CEO Williams corporation” I added. “ I’m Samantha, and I'm Nortia's sister, the only one she has in this world” she beamed excitedly. I withdrew my hand, making sure she knew how it felt before she withdrew back into her shell. “ I guess you aren't a fan of handshakes then”I scoffed, I could see what she was doing, and she had lied. I had overheard her talking down on Nortia and anyone who talked down on my wife didn't deserve me speaking to them. “I am actually, but it is from the right person, it just turns out that you aren't the appropriate one” “ So

    Alexis's POV That was pretty fast, I thought it would take weeks or almost days before she decided to show up here, but coming in here now was sudden and shocking as well. Shoving Gerald aside gently, I ordered. “ Bring her in,”My strides were powerful as I sauntered into my office, my hand caressed the ivory oak wood before sitting on the leather cushion as I waited for her to step in. Whatever perfume she had on assaulted my nostrils before she walked in, I cringed at how nauseating it was before her heels echoed in. They clicked on the tile, and she was dressed in a gown so skimpy that it left little imagination to anyone's eyes, but I wasn't anyone. If she thought this little act of hers was going to make me fall for her then she hadn't done any research on me in the first place. She took her seat just opposite me, pushing up her cleavages properly. “ So why are you here?” I asked when she was seated, finger running on the keyboard as I tapped on it.I could get my secret

Bring your husband home tomorrow, I will be at home waiting. That was from my uncle, and I knew he must have heard it from Samantha and my aunty. I knew it wasn't going to be that long before I got his message about this, but it was so fast. I sat on the bed, staring at the ceiling while I tried to come up with a solution, one that involved Alexis coming with me despite how busy he might be. I sat upright when my phone rang out, before a voice spoke out. “Come down” his velvety smooth voice rumbled across, jabbing me in my heart.I stood up quickly, taking a proper look in a mirror just to ascertain if I was perfect, I had to look the part. My hands clenched the lip gloss as I ran it over my lips and when I was sure it looked perfect, I raced out, my feet glided across. “ You came out pretty fast, were you wait

    Nortia's POV I was dumbfounded at the words he had just said while hoping that I had heard wrong, it could be anyone but not him. Not my uncle as well. For a moment I had thought that he was different and that there was no way that he would say such a thing, he wouldn't stop me from taking my parents from the hospital. My brows kissed as I asked, wanting to be sure that I had heard him correctly at first. “ What did you just say?” I questioned. “ There is no way you can take them out of the hospital, Nortia. I can't let that happen, you have to do whatever it is that you want to here and….” His gaze flickered to Alexis who stood beside me, his hand resting on my lower back as he tried to show his support. “Why?” I demanded, wanting to know. “ Is there a reason why you don't want me to take my parents out of here? They are mine, not yours. Like I told you, the drugs that have been administered to them all these years turned out to be fake and we have to take them out before it w

    Alexis's POV It wasn't clear to me why seeing her broken made my heart ache, I had never felt this way before, it was so different from all others, no matter how hard I tried to shove that aside, it stuck persistently. I had barely placed a foot out of the doctor's office when I noticed she was nowhere to be found, a curse left my lips as I sauntered down as fast I could, my heart slammed so hard against my chest as I tried to find out where she could be. I racked my head for an answer and everything led to the fact that she might have gone after her uncle. Weaving a hand through my hair, I raced down, barely able to catch my breath when rage coursed through me. She was pinned against the car, tears cascading down her face and she could barely move an inch. Gulping down my spittle, I sprinted down breaking into a race as I shoved him off before slipping her behind me. “ What the hell do you think you are doing?!” I demanded. If he had done this to anyone else, I wouldn't have

    Nortia's POV No one has done what he did for me. I sat speechless, staring at him while fighting the urge to shed those tears that clung to my throat because it was so different, so different from what I had been expecting. “ Why?” I asked, emotions clinging to my throat as I did. Shoving down the tears that attempted to walk up my eyes, I questioned. “ What did I do that you would do something like that for me?”I hated that I kept comparing him to Maxwell but he was the only one I had been with, the one who had shown me love in such a way that I never knew would be possible, claimed to have loved me but had hurt me beyond repair. I let his hands slip underneath my hair, he held a finger over my face, running it gently as a smile crested across his face at me. “ Because you are my wife, Nortia,” he answered. I gulped in, nodding my head while fiddling with my fingers. That had to be it, what exactly was I thinking about? That he would love me? It was too soon, and besides no o

    Alexis's POV With the statistics I was holding, I knew that there was something that wasn't right, and the fact that even though I had taken them out, it was going to take much more than that for them to be fine, showed how much damage the drugs had done already. It would take a lot of work, and a lot of effort to revert what had been done. I didn't know the amount of damage that had been done, but I was positive, I wanted to make sure that they were fine at the end of the day “ Can there be anything that can be done?” Nortia's voice came through, puncturing my thoughts. My gaze went to her, her hands shaking as she waited for an answer. I knew the doctor was trying so hard not to give her an answer that would break her heart but what was the need of doing so when he had even done what? He had given her the bad news outright without considering if she would be able to take it. “ I can't really say, but it might take some time” he answered her A puff left her lips when he said

    Alexis's POV “ You want to talk to me?” I threw my head over my shoulders to be sure he hadn't gotten the wrong person because how exactly had he gotten to know where I was? Was he perhaps stalking me? Like I had heard also, didn't he have a pregnant wife or rather fiancee to get back to? I needed to make sure that they got married, as they certainly deserved each other. “Yes, you. I want to talk to you” I chuckled gently, not wanting to care about what he had just said but I knew it wasn't possible for me not to do so. “ The last I checked, we don't have anything together, do we have a business deal together or rather….?”“ Nortia, I am here to talk about Nortia” My lips curled into an inverted O, because it made sense now. I should have known that would be the only reason, but why would he want to talk about her? A ache grew in me at the thought that he had realized what he had done and wanted to apologize, but I hoped it wasn't that. There was no way that would be possible,

    Alexis's POV I could tell by the way she glanced at me that all she was thinking about was how I must have messed up when I haven't even done such a thing. A sigh left my lips as I made to touch her shoulders which she evaded, taking a step backward. It hadn't even gotten to that yet. “ I'm listening” she whistled, hands tucked behind her as she did so. “ Say what you intended to say,” she added, still waiting. “ It's nothing big, your phone” I could tell by how the light kept going off that she must be having countless messages at the moment, I had seen her take pictures of the decorations and the flower bouquet and she must have posted it. It had been no biggie as I had seen it online, seen how most Ladies swooned over it and I thought I should do the same and when her eyes glowed, I knew I had made the right choice. “ What is it about her?” She pulled me out of my reverie, bringing me back to the issue at hand. “ You said something about Charity?”“ You haven't seen it yet?

I know I hadn't gotten the time to gloss through, but even at that, I didn't expect that there would be anything in there which would put my life at risk. I wasn't going to lie, goosebumps trailed my arms but I kept my thoughts back down, not wanting them to come up. The ones that I would be ruining things before I even started or rather before we even started. “Where did you get this?” Alexis asked again, this time his voice firmer than the last, he was putting it back into my bag, still looking around like he was trying to make sure that no one was looking and no one had noticed. “ I am fine” I assured, not wanting to look at what was going on, it was all too natural to me. I had seen it and had taken it because I knew it would be vital which also wasn't enough reason for him to act this way

    Nortia's POV I wasn't one to dig too deep but I knew I couldn't let this go, there had to be something that I had to do and whatever it was,I needed to do so fast. The gray color splashed on the wall of the office and the leather chair only confirmed what my uncle had said, I didn't have any power in there. I was relegated to the background and what had he called me? ‘A figurehead” A hand clasped around my mouth as I tried to muffle the cackle when my assistant walked in with bulks of documents which he dropped on the table. “ What's that?” I questioned, turning my attention to look at what it was when he glanced at the folders, the manilla files that filled the table. “ These?” He glanced at them before storming out without giving me an answer. I tapped my feet on the marble tiles thinking of how I was to take this in when my eyes caught the manilla file which contained financial reports of the previous year. I tried to keep my hands to myself but damned it on the second tho

    Nortia's POV The glances on their faces told me they weren't expecting me and I knew that they had planned something else behind my back or rather, they were about to. Taking the seat just across from my uncle, I paid no heed to the scoffs and whispers as I did. My uncle gnashed his teeth beside me but that was only going to be the first, because I had numerous things in mind to make him pay for. Hopefully, my presence here will make things better. If he decided to do anything contrary to what I was expecting, I would have a great time thwarting whatever plan it was they had. “ Well” I glanced around, making sure everyone met my eyes before locking both hands together. “ What was it that you were talking about that had you chatting so amicably?” I threw it at them waiting for an answer but it seems they were all tongue tied. I didn't expect my uncle to change so soon, na, the devil will always have his spit and my uncle was no different, but even at that, I had expected him to ke

    Nortia's POVThose words, the one where he had urged me to go ahead and conquer was something I hadn't been told, I knew everything about him felt so different. It was difficult to place my hand on these emotions, the different ones that filled my mind but I nodded anyway, listening to what he was saying. I guess this was what it meant to have a father, that space in you that outweighs every single thing, I was tempted to have him in my arms, let him yank me into his while patting my back, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't make the move to do so, so when he approached, grasping me closer to himself, my hand fell limp by my side. “ Thank you” I mouthed out in gratitude, chewing on my lips before I added. “Father” He yanked me away immediately, placing tender kisses on my forehead before he looked above my shoulders. “Will you be going with her?” He directed at Alexis. “ No, I can handle this myself. He has a company to tend to and I wouldn't want to disrupt anything” I explaine

    Alexis's POV I watched, all of the discussions, a hand draped across my wife's waist as I listened to her interaction with Samantha who obviously had lost what I would have termed as shame. One would have thought that being caught on camera would have them standing back and staying out of the public but I guess you can't beat the shameless. She looked like she was going to lurge toward my wife and I waited for her to do so, I wasn't going to fight but I knew Nortia was no pushover either. She might have been before me but not anymore. Now, she was a woman of herself, one who could handle them by herself needing little or no help from me. “What did you just say?” Maxwell was the one who had asked while Samantha's eyes fell to the ground before she held Maxwell's. “She killed who?” “George” Nortia's voice reverberated, bouncing off against the wall as she repeated, her lips curled into a smirk. Maxwell's face flinched before he turned to Samantha demanding. “You killed him? Not

    Nortia's POVI didn't know where I had gotten the nerves but I sat still, peering at him as I pondered on what he would do. He slammed his lips over mine, sliding his tongue in between my lips as he kissed me, a hand wrapped around my waist. “Alex” I muttered, racking a hand through his hair as I did, throwing caution to the wind. His hands ran through me before he knelt, lips on my boobs and he sucked, flickered, and licked it. My toes curled as I threw my head backward, the tension weaving through me while I tried to muster out the words that had stuck in my lips. A bit on my boobs sent tiny jolts crackling through me before I let out a heave barely trying to grasp him onto myself. “You look….” He had pulled away, taking a proper glance at me as he did. “Astonishing” My clit pursed at his words, when he slipped a finger in-between my legs, still maintaining his gaze at me. Nudging me gently against the bed, a yelp left my lips as he straddled me before positioning his cock i

    Nortia's POVI had a hand wrapped around myself as I peered outside, glancing so hard against the vast greenery which laid in front of me while envisioning Alexis walking up to me, wrapping a hand around my waist before snuggling against my neck. The hand tightened even closer before I let out a sigh at how desperately futile everything would turn out to be. The presenter spoke in the background, William's shares were stabilized while the Louis kept depleting with each moment that passed. I knew I had decided to meet with Samantha but I had a second thought at the last minute, she should be made to suffer even if it was a tiny bit on what she had done. She had killed someone, one who didn't hold anything against her and I would be stupid to go right now, telling her not to fall into her father's cocooned lies. To think those were all sentiments, he was the last person I thought would hurt her, because I knew he loved her so well, so why would he want to make her pay for this? M

    Nortia's POVWatching the clips all over again was heart wrenching, I had thought I would be able to do so but doing so now, I knew it was almost impossible. It was all documented there, the time where Alexis had clung onto a pole, almost dropping before Gerald walked in, the CCTV footage had captured every single detail and with each clench to the pole, my heart dropped with it as well. I wondered what exactly would have made Maxwell gone to such length because I didn't want to believe I was the reason for such an action. “ Are you okay?” My mother questioned, draping a hand on my shoulders. With a smile lining my face, I turned to look at her, letting myself immerse in her love. “ I know it feels awkward having us around, you must have gotten used to doing life all alone but I am here to let you know that we can always work things out, we have missed a lot of time and your father is ready to make it up with I as well,”“I don't hold anything against you” I answered, making sure
