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's eyes slowly fluttered open. As she stirred on the bed, her body was a bit sore, and it took only a few seconds for the memories of what they had done to invade her mind... her cheeks became completely flushed, and her lips slightly parted as she thought about his touch and the desire and pleasure they had shared... She got up from the bed abruptly in a sitting position and looked beside her to see an empty bed... where was he... she looked down and realised that Alex had worn his shirt for her... when did he do that? Was she doing deep asleep... juliet got up from the bed and headed to the room door... her legs wobbly like jelly, but she managed to make it outside the room.... she walked slowly down the stairs, holding the rail, she could tell that it was still very early because the sun wasn't even out yet... "Alex," Juliet called out to him, and for the first time, she heard her voice and how hoarse it had become... her face became even more flushed because of the reason
Juliet's chest heaved as she stared at Alex. Her hair was dishevelled, and Alex's hand travelled to her face as he tried to tuck a few strands of her hair behind her ear... she looked completely flustered and she opened her mouth to say something to him but no words came out when she felt him harden beneath her once again... it was bright outside already, and the sunlight was coming into the room through the opened window... "I'm sorry," Alex said to her in a low voice and planted a soft kiss on her shoulder as he slid out of her... Juliet looked too stunned to speak as she tried to catch her breath... "What about work?" She finally found her voice to speak, but it was hoarse... "I think I'm going to skip work for today," Alex answered, and Juliet nodded... she was completely exhausted and drifted off to sleep a feeling moments later, while Alex left the room to make the both of them some breakfast... when she woke up again, an hour had passed already, and Alex was sitting beside her
Juliet's breath hitched as Alex lips drew closer to hers, and just as he was about to capture her lips, the sound of the doorbell interrupted them.... "f*ck." Alex cursed under his breath, and a smile appeared on her face.... she couldn't help but chuckle, and Alex did the same, too... "I will be right back, it better be important," He said, and juliet nodded... her hand travelled to her chest when Alex released her from his arms and left the kitchen... her heart was beating so fast, and she couldn't believe even after all they did she still wanted him... she poured herself a glass of water and drank it all in one go... her cheeks were completely flushed, and the room started to feel hot... Alex walked to the front door and turned on the secretly camera to see Patrick standing by the door... he ran his hand through his hair and sighed deeply before he unlocked the door... "What do you want?" was the first thing Alex said to his P.A, "I called you multiple times, but I didn't get an
"But what keeps weighing on my mind, sir, his your mother," Patrick said..."Do you think she might have known about what was going on but had decided to keep quiet?" Alex pointed out his speculations, and Patrick nodded... from what he had found out from the officers who were in charge of the case, Michelle had wanted the case to be closed as soon as possible... like she was hiding something... or like she didn't want the truth to be found out but that was all just speculations, she could have wanted that because she was grieving or simply because of the type of attention it was bringing towards the family, one could never really say... all they could was speculate because they had no actual evidence to prove their speculations, but they couldn't rule out that idea... Michelle was a crucial person in everything..."So what you saying is that my mother might be hiding something from me," Alex asked, and Patrick nodded... he wasn't sure at first, but after digging a bit further, he wa
"Do you think Alex would ever forgive me?" Michelle said to her sister as they sat in Caroline's courtyard for some tea... "What are you talking about? Are you worried now that he might marry that girl? I heard she moved into his penthouse. Do you think she is taking your son away from you? The two of you were never close in the first place, " Caroline said, her mind trailing to Charles and Gina... He had finally moved out of her house, and though they had spoken on the phone a few times. She barely saw him anymore. It broke her heart to know that her son, who she was always close to was slowly starting to drift away. She didn't want her and Charles's relationship to end up like Alex and Michelle. They were like an estranged mother and son, and if she hadn't been there and seen when Michelle was pregnant, one would have mistaken Michelle for an evil stepmother who disliked her stepchild. But she had been at the hospital when Alex was born, and Michelle had been elated... It made Carol
Alex held Juliet's hand as they sat in the private visitation room of the detention centre, waiting for Gerald to be brought into the room... Gerald stopped in his tracks when he walked in, and his eyes fell on Alex, and then the young lady that was sitting beside him... his heart immediately dropped, and even though he hadn't seen her in a year, he immediately recognised her... it was Juliet, his little girl. His heart felt heavy as he continued walking and then he took a seat, his hand still in cuffs... he hated that she had to see him this way... Juliet's eyes were on the man who walked in. Though he looked a lot older now, she could tell he was the one she had seen in the pictures that Gladys had shown her. he was her father, the man that she had vague memories of and couldn't even remember his face.... her grip on Alex's hand tightened A bit as they both stared at each other in silence. No one knew what to say to the other till Alex broke the silence... "How have you been"
"I have something important to tell you", Alex said as they both lay in bed. Juliet tilted her head to look at her. Her eyes filled with curiosity, and her heart raced. Did he finally find her father? A part of her feared to hear what he had to say... Alex turned so he could face Juliet. "I found your father", he said, and Juliet's heart dropped; for a moment, she stared at him, completely frozen, unsure of how to react or what to say, even though she had dozens of questions she wanted to ask... where had he been all these years? Did he even try looking for her? Or didn't he want anything to do with her? She had so many questions to ask him. "Where has he been all these years?" Juliet asked in a low voice, and Alex took her hand in his. "He has been in jail", He answered, and Juliet felt her heart drop even further. Was that why he couldn't see her? Alex went on to tell Juliet everything about where he had gone and what her father had told him about his relationship with Her mother
Juliet got back home from Gladys house late at night and walked into the dark and empty house... she turned on the light switch and sat in the living room, her eyes staring into nothingness... she missed Alex's presence... everything felt odd without him... juliet brought out her phone and called him up, but his phone was switched off... it made her even more sad that she couldn't hear his voice. Her stomach growled and reminded her she hadn't had anything to eat throughout the entire day. She sighed deeply and hesitantly stood up and walked to the kitchen to make herself some dinner. When she was done, she ate in silence... the whole house was quiet, and she wished Alex would just walk in through the front door or something or perhaps call her. She wanted to hear his voice. She called him once again, but this time his phone wasn't switched off... the phone rang and rang but she didn't get an answer. It made Juliet a little worried, so she called him once again, and the same thing hap
"your mother has been searching for you also", Alex said, so Gerald could feel a bit of guilt for not reaching out to his mother for so long. his intentions might not have been to make her worried, but not seeing or hearing from him for so long made her even more worried. She had no idea if her son was dead or Alive... it was heart-wrenching... "She must be old now..." Gerald had a sad smile appearing on his face as he thought about his mother and the last time he had spoken to her...they had had a huge fight and he had left without looking back and when he had ended up back in jail, he felt like he had failed her once again... he felt like he would only bring her pain by trying to meet her... Alex stood up, ready to leave, and Patrick stood up also "Who are you?" Gerald asked the first question he had when he saw Alex and Patrick... "I'm your daughter's fiance, I'm Alex Graham" Alex stretched out his hand and shook Gerald's hand that was handcuffed... Gerald was a bit stunned to kn
" What happened to her?" Gerald asked when he finally calmed down, the pain still in his eyes as he stared at her picture... "She was ill," Alex answered and sighed deeply, thinking of a good way to approach what he had come to say... "What about Juliet... how is she," he asked,,and Patrick and Alex immediately exchanged looks. "I should have called sooner. I should have called even though she told me she didn't want to speak to me any longer. I should have known something was up," Gerald said and face palmed himself... "Do you mind explaining to us what happened, " Patrick chimed in, and Gerald sighed deeply. He still had no idea who the men who came to see him were, but he didn't care about that any longer... his heart felt like a spear had been run through it over and over again, and he felt like breaking out of prison to see his daughter. "Juliet.i Ineed to see jJuliet," He said,,and Alex saw this as an opportunity. "Juliet is fine, but she has no idea you are in here. She has no
Patrick parked the car in the parking lot of a detention centre that was on the outskirts of another city. Alex had told him that they had to go on a short business trip, and he was surprised when they landed in another city that had nothing affiliated with Alex's business. He too was curious to meet Juliet's father... he wanted to know what he did and why he was in such a high-security prison, but Alex had not told him... he came out of the car and opened the door for Alex... the place gave Patrick and eerie vibe that made a cold shiver run down his spine... two men who were dressed in a type of uniform which Patrick assumed belong to prison guards were waiting and approached them when Alex came out of his car. "Mr Graham," one of the men said, with a welcoming smile on his face. "This way sir," he said and gestured to Alex to follow. Alex nodded and followed the man, Patrick behind him, as they walked into the prison... Patrick wished he could be anywhere else but there, but curiosi
"Have you found him?" Alex asked, and his P.I. nodded. "I found him, sir, but there is a problem," Collins said and handed Alex a document. Alex's eyes trailed from him to the document he was holding out. Alex took it from him and sighed deeply as he read through it, which contained a full background check on Gerald. "How long has this been?" He asked. "About ten years now, sir.. he had been in and out jail for the past twenty years, " Collins explained, and Alex dropped the document on his table and ran his hand through his hair. That explains why Gladys couldn't find him easily. he had not for once even tried to reach out to his mother or anyone while he was in jail. "When will he be out?" "In a few months, sir," Collins answered, and Alex nodded. "Can you arrange for me to meet him?" Alex wanted to know the kind of person he was before he met Juliet. He didn't want to upset her more than she already... "I will try to do that, sir," "Thank you," Alex said, and Collins left;
"Charles," Gina called out to Charles in a low voice when a few minutes had passed, and he still hadn't spoken to her. Even if she was afraid of what he was going to say and his reactions, she still wanted to hear it... Charles stood up and turned to look at her. His eyes filled with emotions that he couldn't explain. He opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. Gina tried to hold his hand, but she was afraid he would let go of her hand... never in her life had she been so scared of losing someone. She didn't want to lose him. She stood up also, her eyes watering up as she stared at him, and the tears she tried her best to hold back fell freely... Charles felt his heart break as soon as he saw the tears in her eyes. Yes, he was angry, but seeing her looking genuinely heartbroken and remorseful about what she had done made his anger slowly start to dissipate. He had no idea what had occurred back then because he had not met her, but he knew that the Gina that was standi
