"I'm here to speak to you, and I'm not leaving till you hear me out," Gina responded firmly... in her mind, she was determined not to lose him... "Then I'm leaving," Charles said, but Gina quickly leaned closer and took his car keys that she had sighted a few seconds ago away from him... "You can't leave now," She said, and Charles scoffed... "You do know I can take a taxi right, you can keep the keys." He was about to leave when Gina stopped him and held his hand... "Please just hear me out, and if you still want me to go, then I will." Charles finally turned to look at her and saw the sincerity in her eyes... how could he say no to her when she was looking at him like this... He sighed deeply and slowly nodded. "Just a few minutes," He said and walked into his bar... a smile appeared on Gina's face as she followed after him... The dampened mood that she had been in for over a week started to dissipate. It seemed to be so when she was around him... The bar was empty when they walk
"Do you want more sugar," Lana asked Juliet with a bright smile on her face as they stood in the break room of their office... it was a Friday and most days Juliet came in for work... They were slowly wrapping up the projects with Hult Hotel, and they kept getting calls from people who wanted to work for Them... everything seemed to be going great and nothing out of the ordinary for over a week... No one had tried to break into Juliet's house, and Alex made sure he came from worn earlier even though the tension between them had slowly started to increase. And it wasn't the bad kind of tension, another kind... thinking about it alone, made Juliet's heart start to race... They had breakfast and dinner together, but after the kiss they had shared, Alex barely came to her... He seemed nervous around her, and she had a kind of inkling why because she felt the same way too. Juliet wished she had someone she could talk about it with without feeling too embarrassed and these were the times sh
Alex arrived home from work to a bit later than he had planned. He sighed deeply as he took off his jacket... Juliet had texted him that she might be home a bit late too. Heand he made sure his men followed her discreetly to make sure she was safe and to let him know if anything happened... ". He she home yet. He" he muttered as he walked up the stairs to check if she was in her room... Alex knocked on her doorIsbut he didn't get an answer after a few seconds... he knocked once again and decided to go into her room to check if she had gone to bed... But as soon as he opened her door, he immediately froze as soon as his eyes landed on her coming out of, bathroom... Alex jaw dropped as his eyes , on her body, and for a few seconds, he almost lost all his self-control as he eyes took in the sight that was before him... all her beautiful curves, her bossom was in his view and he couldn't think straight anymore... His heart started to race like crazy and juliet immediately rushed to her
"Did you try it on?" Lana asked Juliet over the phone the following morning, she was standing in the break room with a lingering smile on her face as she spoke to Juliet, curiosity had gotten the better of her and she couldn't stop herself from caring for Juliet to ask.. Juliet got up from her bed and walked to her bathroom to answer Juliet's questions. she couldn't risk Alex overhearing her phone call... she left the door unlocked and opened in case he came into her room... "Yes, I did," Juliet answered, her cheeks becoming flushed as memories of the previous night invaded her mind... she had not seen Alex yet and didn't even know what to say to him when she saw him. Anytime she thought about him, she kept remembering the look he had on his face, and it made her swallow. She knew she was never going to forget the look in his eyes. It caused a type of tension within her... A tension that she had purchased the lingering because of in the first place... "Really! Did you like it? " Lana
Alex picked Juliet up in one go by her waist and placed her on the table... breaking their kiss... Juliet's lips were slightly parted as she raised her eyes to look into his... she felt her eyes water up as she stared into his eyes... Alex leaned closer and kissed the single tear that escaped her eyes. His kiss was so soft that it only made more tears escape her eyes... Her heart felt really warm... "You make me feel complete," She whispered and wrapped her arms around him... Alex hugged her back and closed his eyes, relishing the moment in the arms of the woman he was head over heels in love with... He started to think back to the first time he had seen her... was it from then? Or was it the time he had seen him from his office ? he had no idea when his heart started to beat for her and when he fell for her... All that mattered to him was the fact that he met her... she made him complete, too... she made him want to be alive... She was like a beam of light that had illuminated his da
"Are you alright?" juliet asked, her eyes filled with worry... Alex ran his hand through his hair and swallowed... "I'm fine," he lied... he had a nightmare again, the one that plagued him all the time that he couldn't even get a peaceful sleep... he was tired and wished that just for one day he would be able to get some rest... Alex took her hand to see if he had hurt her. He robbed it slowly and softly and sighed deeply... "I'm sorry." He apologised, and juliet shook her head. "I'm fine," She assured Him, her eyes still on him. She had an inkling that the nightmare he had might somehow be related to his panic attacks, and she was worried for him... he wasn't ready to speak to her about it yet... and thankfully, he had not , any more panic attacks since that time.. he seemed to be doing fine, but maybe she had thought wrong.. "Are you done with work?" He asked when he noticed she had closed her laptop. "Yes, I am," Juliet answered, and he nodded... "Should we go out for lunch?" Ale
Juliet broke the kiss to catch her breath... her lips slightly parted as she looked up at Alex in the dimly lit room...the tension between the both of them was slowly starting to rise and all she could think about was him and the fact that she wasn't putting on the sexy lingerie she bought on... Her chest heaved as Alex leaned closer and captured her lips again, but she broke the kiss again and her hand fell flat on the chest for support... she opened her mouth to say something to him but couldn't when Alex leaned closer and planted a kiss at the nook of her neck... juliet melted completely like butter on a hot pan and all the words she wanted to say melted also... she hand on his chest soon travelled to his arm for more support as she bit her lips to hold back a moan... his kisses were slowly started driving her crazy and she could feel the tingles pass through her body from her head to her toes... Alex finally broke the kiss and looked deep into her eyes... Everything became static
"F*ck, you are so gorgeous," Alex muttered, and it wasn't long before both of their clothes were completely gone... Juliet trembled with desire as she stared into the eyes of the man that she loved... her heart filled with warmth and love for him as he trailed his fingers down her bare stomach... Alex planted a soft kiss on her shoulder and slowly started to move her legs apart, Juliet's chest kept heaving as she stared at him... He was slow and careful with her... his eyes filled with so much love as he settled himself in between her legs... everything else around them seemed to disappear, and only the both of them were in each other's worlds... Juliet's trembling hands slowly found Alex's face and caressed softly, and Alex's eyes slowed closed as her wonderful touch ignited a different kind of flame in him. .. his hand travelled to her hand on his face, and he took and placed it on his chest so she could feel his raging heart... "I want you too..." Juliet whispered, and Alex could
"Juliet!" Alex called out to Juliet, who he had been waiting for for almost an hour... "I'm almost done", Juliet answered and picked up her bag, but stopped in her tracks when she realised that she had forgotten something... she rushed back into her closet and picked up her phone before she finally came out to meet Alex. "We are going to get there late,", Alex said when she came out of the room, and Juliet leaned closer to him and planted a soft kiss on his lips as an apology... "I'm sorry, I almost forgot my phone", she said, and Alex sighed deeply... he took the bag she had packed from her hand, and they both proceeded downstairs... juliet had a lingering smile on her face as they rode the elevator down to the garage... She was super excited about the trip and was thinking about all the things they could do there and one of the things she wanted to do was go out on an evening walk...thankfully they were spending a few days there, and every night they could go on a walk... Alex gl
The days went by quickly, and soon everything started to go back to normal... Glenda's case was reopened and Michelle and Daniel were charged to court to be tried... Months had passed and Alex barely spoke about what happened... He seemed to have moved on, but Juliet knew deep down that he still thought about it from time to time... he refused to see his uncle, and she thought it was for the best... Joy had reunited with her son again and filed for divorce from Daniel, which he was forced to grant her because she had sued him in court for the pain he had inflicted on her... he was being charged, and he was facing a hefty prison sentence... Michelle, on the other hand, was going to face a lighter sentence because she had helped the police and had come clean... her sister was by her side every step of the way and even if Alex didn't show it, Juliet knew he was relieved to each that... she had heard him talking on the phone with Patrick and asking him to get his mother the best defence
"He is still at the police station, but with your mother's and a few other people's statements, we have concrete evidence against him; the police are going to conduct a thorough investigation into the case", Patrick informed Alex, and he nodded. "So my mother turned herself in?" Alex asked, and Patrick nodded. Michelle had been more cooperative than he imagined. She told the police every single detail of what happened that day and didn't leave anything out. "Why didn't you tell me you were investigating my mother?" Alex asked, and Patrick swallowed... he started to fiddle with his fingers nervously as he stared at Alex, who seemed calm even though his life was falling apart. The board had called an emergency meeting, and Alex had to show up, but he looked calm and neutral like he had accepted everything that happened and was going to move on with his life... "I wanted to be sure sir about it and I didn't want to just be suspicious..." Patrick said and Alex nodded... he buttoned the la
"I'm fine... I should be," Alex said in a low voice, and Caroline turned to look out the window,w, too... his room had a great view, but she couldn't even admire the view. "I don't know what to say to you right now... I don't even know where to begin" Caroline started... she sighed deeply and glanced at Alex who was slowly been drawn into a daze once again.... his face was neutral and one would only think he had a fever or something, but what was happening was far worse than a fever... it was depleting and could ruin someone... it was a deep feeling of betrayal by one's family and that was the worse thing ever that she didn't wish on anyone... like Michelle, she wished there was a way she could fix everything... "Your mother is here to see you" She told Alex, but didn't get any reaction from him... he sat there in silence and stared at the bird that had landed close to the window... "She regrets what she did...she was terrified of your uncle and was afraid of what he was going to do t
Coralline walked hurriedly into her sister's house, her heart racing and her mind railing. She had heard something from someone and had to confirm if it was true. Michelle was on her way out of her house when she almost bumped into her sister, who was at her front door. Caroline immediately took a step back... "Michelle, is everything I heard true... please tell me it isn't," Caroline said to her sister, who walked right past her and headed to her garage. "Michelle, please say something!" Caroline said in a a raised voice that caused Michelle to to stop in her tracks. "Yes, it is; everything you heard is true, it's all true!" Michelle snapped and turned to look at their sister, who stood there completely shocked and dumbfounded. "it's all true; I hurt Alex. I hurt My son," Michelle muttered, and Caroline stumbled a bit... she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She walked up to her sister and held her arm, and Michelle's eyes started to blur with tears. "Tell me everything that hap
Juliet sat beside Alex who lay on the hospital bed in his private room in his hospital. he had been unconscious for hours and his doctor had assured her that he was fine and would wake up soon, but why wouldn't he wake up... she sighed deeply as she held his hand that was no longer cold thankfully... Joy had stayed with her for a while. But she had left to call her soon and take care of some other things that needed her attention. Patrick was busy with Daniel's case and was working hard to make sure everything worked out well. But she hadn't heard from Michelle. she had been expecting Michelle to show up for a while, but she hadn't called or showed up... Juliet eyes were on Alex face as she watched his features. he looked like he was in a deep sleep and she wondered if she was dreaming about something. She hoped that it wasn't a nightmare and that whatever he was dreaming about was nice and warm and not filled with betrayal and pain... maybe there he could be free before he returned t
Michelle watched in silence as Alex was being led out of her house by the paramedics. Juliet glanced at her for a few seconds before she followed Alex out and before Patrick could follow, she stopped him. "wait. I have something to tell you," Michelle said to him, and he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her... She started to walk away, and Patrick followed her towards the stairs, when they got to her room, he stopped by the door and watched as Michelle disappeared into her room. She came back about a minute late and handed something to him. It was in a zip lock bag, and Patrick's eyes immediately grew wide when he saw what it was. "he thought he disposed of it, but it was just a replica. I kept it with me all these years," Michelle explained as Patrick took it from her. A knife was in there, and there could still be a bit of blood on it. "I will go to the police myself you don't have to worry. Just make sure Alex is fine," Michelle said, and Patrick nodded. He couldn't say
Alex closed his eyes and opened them as he drove his car at high speed... the pain in his chest kept increasing with each passing second. His phone started to ring and he answered the call when he saw that it was Patrick calling. "Sir, I need to speak to you; there is something you need to know about your uncle..." Patrick said, and Alex let out a shaky breath... "I know it already, get the police and come to my mother's house", Alex said and ended the call before Patrick could say anything else... He tried to catch his breath... After hearing what Joy said to Juliet, Alex knew immediately who his uncle had been speaking with. It was the person who hated his uncle the most... his mother. The whole time, she didn't want him to get close to his uncle because she was scared of the type of person he was. He had been suspicious the whole time, but he didn't want his suspicions to be true... he didn't want his mother to be involved because even though he hated her, he still cared for her..
Alex stood there, frozen in his tracks as he stood behind Joy and Juliet, listening to everything that Joy was telling Juliet, and for some reason, he didn't think it was real. He didn't think he was hearing right... everything was at a standstill for him... He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He wanted this all to be a bad dream but he knew it was real and not a bad dream... Everything Joy was saying was real... "How...how could that be..." Alex finally found his voice, and Juliet turned and gasped when she saw Alex standing behind them. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Alex... Juliet and Joy immediately stood up, and Juliet rushed to Alex's side... she wanted to tell him that it wasn't true and it was all a lie, but she couldn't. How could she when it was the whole truth... the truth that he had been searching for for so long... he was finally hearing it, but he wanted it to be a lie... "Alex!" Juliet muttered his name softly as tears left her eyes. She didn't e
