"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
Patrick rode his car into a small parking lot that was close to a small cobblers shop... he had tried to find out more about Glenda, which was the real name of alex's nanny, but it was hard to find anything about her, but this cobblers shoo came up multiple times in his shop.. from what the private investigator he had hired told him. The owner of the cobblers shop was her last known relative... he sighed deeply and got out of his car. his eyes scanned the area that he was in, and he was a run-down area of town... the shops around looked really old and a few was even abandoned... he walked over to the cobblers shop and as he pushed the door open the bell at the top of the door made a noise... "Hello," Patrick said as he walked into the shop, which was empty... no one was at the counter, but he could see some abandoned shoes like someone had been working on them but decided to leave it halfway... "Hello!" He said in a louder voice but didn't get a response... patrick stood there for a f
"What!?" Patrick said, his eyes wide in disbelief about what he had just heard... was he hearing wrong... "I was shocked too when I found out about it, but what could I do.. she wouldn't listen and did the opposite of what I asked her to... she went on to work there, and then the next thing I heard was that she died... you have no idea how devatsed I was when I found out that she had passed... if she had listened to me, none of that would have happened. " Mr Reynolds shook his head and sighed deeply... "What shocked me even more was the fact that Mr Graham passed away too in an accident on the same day that Glenda passed away... don't you think it's too much of a coincidence... I don't think it was a coincidence at all... I think whoever did that to Glenda was responsible for what happened to Mr Graham, " he said firmly, and Patrick sighed deeply... "She was really fond of that child... she spoke about him often.. I wonder how he is doing now?" What could Patrick say. that Alex was do
"You need to go to work today... stop..." Juliet voice trailed off as Alex planted soft kisses alone, her jawline down to her neck... she giggled and playfully tried to push Alex away from the bed, but he wasn't giving in... "Alex!" she said his and got up in a sitting position, a smile still on her face as Alex raised both of his hands in his air in surrender.... "Okay, okay...I'm going," He said, and juliet shook her head... he had missed work for two days, and they had spent the whole time in bed and only went down for lunch and dinner, but went back straight to bed after... if juliet didn't mention work, then Alex was more than ready to continue his day like this... he sighed deeply as he buttoned up his shirt... he was dressed already, but had changed his mind at the last minute and gotten back in bed with juliet... "I can just skip work and don't worry, we won't stay inside all day..." He said, his eyes trailing from her eyes down to her lips and even downwards. juliet swallowed
"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
