Alexis's POV

My eyes went to the ruffled shirt she had on and the hand that wrapped themselves around her tightly and I gnashed my teeth.

I hated how she was trying everything in her to piss me off when she wasn't supposed to do such, I seethed in rage which shimmered above me before my feet sauntered over to her.

“ What's wrong?” I could see she was close to tears and she was trying hard not to let them fall.

My gaze travelled to the doctor as I wondered if he was the one who had just her but I couldn't deduce anything right now.

I swallowed, yanking her to myself, I asked again.

“ What is wrong?” I waited for her to give an answer when they ran down her cheek, in torrent they did.

“Back off, leave. Now!” I ordered, my voice booming across as I said to them.

They scampered away, the doctor, the guard and her driver as well. My anger evaporated when she squeezed my shirt, grasping it so tight that my hands fell to her lower back.

I shook my head, trying so hard not to think ba

    Nortia's POV I never knew it would come back to bite me, the pain I felt was forgotten for a while as my mouth fell wide agape. “You can't do that, I can't move in with you, that wasn't in the contract and you know that as well” I accepted the blazer he threw over my shoulders, my heart warmed at what he had done, before I chided myself, getting that behind me. “Then there is no way I am going to come with you to your uncle's place, there has to be something that would be enough to get you to concede to what I want and although I hate that I have to do this, it is the only way I can get you to move in with me, I hate to be petty but you are leaving me with no choice than to do this”His hands rested on my shoulders while he stared at me. “ I know this isn't what you want, I do know, but I have to get you close to me somehow, I need you where I can protect you, where I will be able to sleep, walk knowing that you are fine, Nortia” his words came in a rush at me. “ Look at you” he

Her tears lightened as she sniffed, dragging them in before she said to me;“ I have never had anyone do this for me, no one has ever made me feel this way, feel cherished at all”she bared her emotions at me. My hand hung above her head while I was left thinking about what I was to do in such a situation, was this a good thing or a bad one? “ I can have it renovated if it isn't fine by you, the decorators will be here in an instant and you no longer have to worry about it” I answered her.Letting her know that I was fine with it if she wasn't at all. I had been wrong, should have asked if she wanted to do so before I even started off at the beginning. “ No, t

    Alexis's POV “ You don't have to do this, you can't do this to me. You know who I am, you know who my family are and they aren't going to like this” A scoff left my lips at what he had just said before pushing him until he had his back against the wall, fidgeting against the chair. “ And you think that I will be scared? What exactly do you think will happen after what you did to Nortia, that I will pat you on the back for a job well done?” I was trying to keep my anger from escalating because all I wanted to do was strangle his neck until he was unable to take in air. I sniffed in, waiting for him to give an answer when the scent permeated the air. “ You peed on yourself? Are you even a man?” I held out a hand, accepting the taser which I had been given as I stroked across to him. “ It was wrong of me to do so, I shouldn't have done that in the first place, please don't ... .help me apologize to her, let her know that I'm sorry, it is the last time and it wouldn't happen anymo

    Nortia's POV Falling asleep was taking more than I had expected, I didn't know why but I will be attributing that to the fact that I was in a new environment and so, I had to get used to it. I tossed again, before laying upright, looking at the ceiling, the net towered over me. I had been glad when he had said that, not minding the fact that he must have looked into things he wasn't supposed to, but a side of me wondered if it wasn't too early, and if I really deserved anything I was getting right now. A stroll down to the walk-in closet had shown me a different tale than what I was expecting, it was hard sort of to believe that they were for me. They fitted just right, in every single way like I had imagined, the slam of my heart told me I wasn't overthinking, that indeed they were mine and I was supposed to be glad about it, but I just couldn't help it What if I got used to leisure such as this and when we finally part well, I find it hard to cope?

    Nortia's POV He left me deep in thought as he walked up the stairs, with shoulders slouched as he did. I wondered what he had meant by that, but shoving it off my shoulders, I decided not to worry myself about that. I was going to take it as one of those words that he must have said because he had been thinking of countless things, which didn't have anything to do with me. “ By the way” he said as he turned to take a look at me. “ There is a bedside fridge in your room, but I guess it should be empty, I will have the housekeeper stock it up tomorrow” he gave a subtle nod before strolling off. Picking the items back into the first aid kit, I placed them in carefully, making sure that it wouldn't lead to any one of them shattering. With hands holding the cotton wool soaked with blood, I pondered on how tomorrow will go but on a second thought, I decided against it, it would be better if I let tomorrow worry about itself. *************An ache tore through me so persistently and n

    Nortia's POV A war? That was an exaggerated thing to say because I couldn't take that as a war, it was simply me going to the home which my parents had built for me but it had ended up being my uncle's. I let out a sigh, before whispering back. “ I will be back soon, I'm taking a shower”“ Should I join you? I am sure it will be much more better if I do”I clasped a hand over my lips at how sacrilegious that had sounded. “ I will be back,” I answered firmly. “ You stay right outside and wait for me, or you can go and work,I love money you know” the words were out before I could keep them back in. I chewed on my nails, wondering how exactly he had taken that, would he take me to be a golddigger? Not wanting to stay back and hear whatever he would say, I took steps away, hands on the door knob when his voice came through. “ Luckily for me, it isn't a problem, I have a whole lot of them and you can spend as much as you like”I muffled in a cackle at what he had just said before ste

    Alexis's POV “ Breathtaking” I breathed out underneath my nostrils as that was the only thing I could think about at the moment. The emerald green gown clung to her shape, showing every curves that I had never thought she had, curves that might have sprouted so soon that it was difficult to believe it had always been there. “ Really?” Her eyes sparked as she asked, still fumbling with the edges of her gown. I ate the gap between us, making sure she was in my arms before I tugged her closer. “ I am scared” “ Scared?”“ That someone else might see how pretty you are and take you from me”She gave a slight jab at my arms, while her face pinked. “ Are you ready to face your family now?” I was tempted to keep her in and locked in with her but I knew she had other important appointments which I couldn't keep her away from.“ How about we try making our baby now?” A finger ran up the length of her zipper before she smacked my hands, pulling it off. “ We have to go to my uncle and i

    Nortia's POV I peeled off my hands in an instance because that had startled me. He was the last person I had thought would hold my hands. “ Sorry” he apologized, a smile flashed across his face as he did so. “ I didn't mean to make you feel that way, all I wanted to do was help you out, that's all” he explained, making me feel bad. “ It's fine. You don't have to do so. I know you had good intentions and I'm not holding it up against you” I let out a puff, still trying to calm the awkwardness when Alexis wrapped his arms around my waist. “ I will take it from here, thank you for doing what I was supposed to do” a smile curved the edge of his lips as he said that to my uncle who bobbed before stepping aside. “She’s yours” he let out a brief cackle before stepping back in. A sigh left my lips when he did that. “ I guess we might have mistaken his intention” I whispered at Alexis whose eyes were lurking around, like he was trying to fish out something that wasn't supposed to be th

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

    Alexis's POV “ Took them just long enough to get here,” my father added, before waving the doctor off. “ Thank you doc, I will get my assistant to send across your money, with your tips of course, thank you” Showing gratitude for even the smallest of things was sometimes my father had taught me and had inculcated in me, no matter who it was he was addressing or talking to, he would always show gratitude. He had said it once that everyone was the same and just because we were privileged enough to get this didn't mean we were supposed to treat people like they don't matter and it hoped to do the same when I had kids. Kids with Nortia didn't sound like a bad idea even though that was what I had wanted from her initially, now I found myself wanting even more than just that.“ Let them in, how's the shares now?” “ Stabilizing,” I answered. “ Nothing works better than public opinion, once the public is by your side, you have gotten all that you wanted and that is what we are going t

    Alexis's POV I waited, glancing at the clock, each tick resonating through the air as I waited for what was going to be their response. My father had the phone leaning against his ears, while I tried not to think about how infuriated my mother was going to be when she get to know what exactly had happened. He turned to me, looking hard at me before he uttered. “ He's fine, he is okay, there's no need to send the doctor over, he doesn't need it”“ I know that you will insist but he really doesn't need it” my father said again and it wasn't hard to tell that my mother was making sure I wasn't hurt in the slightest way.A smile hung on my face, I wasn't used to this, but I knew she cared, she had always cared and maybe, I wasn't too grown for her not to still be that way. Placing the phone back down on the table he turned to look at me. “ Your mother is worried and she insisted on sending the doctor anyways, I didn't have a say in this” he explained to which I bobbed alongside. “ I

    Alexis's POV“ I have to work, Nortia” I insisted, keeping my lips tight while I evaded her questions. “ Alex, I want to know what happened that had you that way,” she insisted. I was at a loss while I tried to come up with something that she would believe in, but I let out a sigh instead, her eyes inquiring as I did so. “ Well?” She waited for me to say something before I finally did. “I went up there with Maxwell, and things happened, a scuffle actually and he shoved me off” Her eyes flew open into lightings at my words. “He shoved you off?” Her voice broke. “You don't have to worry about that, I am fine and nothing happened as well”“ That isn't it” she let out almost in tears. “Your company has been affected and I don't know what it's fate will be, how could he do something like that? How were you able to get out? Who helped you? What would I have done if anything happened to you? What would my parents say? What would have been everyone's reaction?” Grasping her to myself

When my back rested on the cold floor, I blinked repeatedly wondering what exactly the article would have been if I had missed a step more and ended up dropping to the group. What the news would have carried, would it have been the same news? I sat upright, a hand on my knees at what had just occurred, sweepi

    Alexis's POV The air stilled with no one saying a word like I had thought they would, maybe they were spellbound and as such, couldn't say anything. “ You can't do that,” Nortia blurted out. “ It isn't even yours in the first place, do you really think that I will watch you take what belongs to me?” “Like you haven't in the first place, you signed off the company to me on your own accord and I never forced you to do such, so you shouldn't go about talking off, stand aside, while men are talking you aren't supposed to utter a word,”I edged closer, toward her uncle when her father's voice came out in a muffled tone. “I will take it” he exhaled out, stunning me. “What are you saying?”“The shares and the position, I will have it, Nortia will take it in my stead, but I want my shares”“ Father, you can't,” Nortia turned to him, her eyes brimmed with tears at what she had just heard. “ You can't just let this go, you can't let this slide” she explained to him when he held her hands, e

    Alexis's POV My feet came to a halt just in time for what I just heard, my eyes swept across the hall before they fell on Nortia who was spellbound and couldn't say a word.I edged closer, bridging the gap between us as I went closer. “ Stop please” I held her father back. “You shouldn't do this, it was what he wanted, you doing this will make you fall into his trap” I explained. Anyone could see that and the smirk that laced his face told me that much also and so I knew that I had to get him to stop, him wanting that was so cruel of him and he wasn't going to stop unless he got what he wanted. I was left to ponder on what exactly he had in mind that he wanted to do or he had planned, killing someone was out of it, had he gotten to the point where he had dead his heart? That whatever was going to happen could happen but he wasn't going to lose the company.Doing so much for something that wasn't even yours from the onset was pissing to me but I knew humans and they were greedy, I

Placing a hand against my chest, I watched his face as it contorted into a frown before he stepped out, holding a hand out at me. “ Is something wrong?” I gauged his expression which told me something seemed off or it was. “ I just got a message from my father and I am going to need you to hold you feet and take in air before I let you know what it is” “What!” My voice came out in a scream while I asked in a muffled tone. “ Is something wrong?” “Your uncle called an emergency meeting, and your father was voted out, I know it will come out startling but he needed you to know that your uncle had gotten your father out already, we can't do much with that” he chewed on his lips.I stood, staring blankly at him before I sauntered back, barely able to catch my breath because of what he had just said before le

Will you be able to stand as a witness if it comes to it?” I asked, wanting to know that he had the balls to go along with his words and he wasn't just saying it because he wanted to. “ I can, everything you need is in there, it is going to be tedious and hard for you, but you will be acquired at the end of it all, you will win and that is going to be it”I gauged his explanation before letting Nortia accept it, holding onto it firmly. “ Thank you, we are grateful for this” Mr. Edward said, gratitude coating his voice as he did. I could sense the apprehension that laid in his tone and how hard he was trying so he wouldn't showcase how weak
