"She is a writer?" Alex said to Patrick as he looked at the file in his hand, a smile on his face... "Yes, sir... she works for DB publishing company and helps with a few books that have been published, also screen writing. From what I've heard, she is working on her own book" Patrick explained and dropped another file in front of Alex. "But I think she is planning on quiting soon" Alex raised his eyes up to look at Patrick, confusion etched in his eyes. "Why is she planning on quiting"

"Well she isn't the only one... Their publishing company isn't doing to well lately and most of the workers have started quiting... only a few of them are left, including Her" Patrick explained and Alex sat up in his chair... He picked up the file about DB publishing company and read through it in silence... They were in debts and were having a hard time... "How long as she being working there" he asked "About a few years now. She started working there as an intern while in college and continued whe

    "Sir!" Patrick yelled when Alex immediately exited the car. what if someone here recognised him.... He got out of the car too but stood at a distance and watched the scene that was unfolding... It had been a while since he had seen Alex look so mad... If looms could kill, then the woman would already be bed...

They were enjoying the show that would give them more to gossip about... Juliet felt like the ground should open up and swallow her.... She hated this kind of attention so much... "What do you thin

    "Aren't you going to ask me about what happened." Juliet said in a low voice... she was sure her aunt must her maintained her victim card and told anyone who approved her, her lies to make sure she looked like the bad person... Claudia did the same thing to her mother when her grandfather passed away. Her mother, being too kind for her own good, had left the entire house their parents owned to her sister... But Claudia wasn't still satisfied... What she wanted to know was how Claudia was able to find her. "Do you want to talk about it?" Alex asked, and she shook her head. she preferred if he didn't ask her about it... she didn't want to start narrating her part of the story. it was draining... "It's embarrassing. why do you always show up at the wrong time? " She muttered and started to play with the dry leaves on the ground with her leg... deep down, she was glad he showed up... "Are you going to keep standing?" he said, and she finally looked up at him... his eyes locking with

    Alex had Patrick drive them to a grocery store that was a bit far away from the neighbourhood juliet lived, and she was more than grateful. "I can get home by myself from here. you don't have to follow me in" She said to him as she was about to walk into the grocery store but Alex ignored her words and walked in leaving her standing at the entrance trying to hold back a smile... she walked in after him, feeling much better than she had been an hour ago... Patrick watched both of them from a distance and wondered what this little romance that was starting to bloom would lead to. would she be okay when she found out about the family Alex was from or the type of person his mother was. Would she be able to withstand Michelle wrath... He sighed deeply, unsure of what Alex was trying to get himself into when he knew how his mother was trying to set him up with someone she had chosen herself. Michelle even sent him a date reserved as a blind date for Alex with a woman named Gina. She was th

    "Oh, for the love of God, shut up and do something useful with yourself," Gina yelled at the workers at her boutique. they all immediately scurried away when they saw the terrible mood that their boss was in... She was mostly like this but only lashed out at them when her mood was really terrible... "I can't believe this is happening. he cancelled the date again!" She groaned in anger and almost threw her phone at the wall, but was able to control herself before she did. She had tried too hard to get this date arranged by his mother and now his 'Secretary!' was sending her a message that it was cancelled. "Who do you think you are?" She muttered under her breath and grabbed her bag angrily... Gina walked out of her boutique angrily and got into her car. She needed an explanation from Michelle Graham... After all the expensive clothes and shoes she had spent so Michelle could put out good words about her to her son, was this disrespect what she was going to get in return... She yel

    Claudia wiped her tears away with the handkerchief that Mrs flicher had offered her... "Thank you," She said and shook her head. The two women with Joyce Flicher exchanged looks with her, and one of them nodded. "We can take you to her place if you want. she doesn't live far from here." Doris, the second of the trio, said, hoping to get more information about what had happened a few hours ago from Claudia. They had waited for the small crowd to dissipate before they finally approached her when she wouldn't leave, and Claudia was more than ready to pull out her victim card here. "No, i shouldn't go there. she must be mad at me because I lost my temper earlier. I didn't mean to hit her. She was just so rude, and it made me so sad. She used to be such a sweet girl." Claudia started and pretended to cry again... she buried her face in her palm, and Joyce patted her shoulders. "I always had a bad feeling about her," She muttered and scoffed. she always knew juliet was a problem, and Cla

    Gina stood in front of the elevator impatiently. if Alex was going to avoid her calls and messages, then maybe if she showed up at his office, he wouldn't be able to avoid her anymore. She took out the office card that Michelle had given her and walked into the elevator with a smile on her face. She wasn't going to lose such a catch when her cousin was planning on marrying Jamie Miller, one of the most eligible bachelor in the city and the second son of the Miller family... He had a trust fund that would never run dry... She couldn't stand all of Joan's bragging and wanted to aim higher.

Thankfully, Caroline, one of her best customers, just happened to be his aunt and brought Michelle his mother to her boutique. She had easily woed the woman, and now her plans were on tracks, but the main person who she needed for the plans to finally work out was trying to prove stubborn and a

Alex said, and Patrick nodded. he had thought Daniel would leave after a while, but he kept waiting diligent in Alex office and even asked for some refreshments... "Wasn't he on an indefinite business trip? Why is he back without any word." Alex muttered under his breath as she pushed open the door to his office. Daniel was laughing at a video he was watching on his phone when his nephew walked into his office... "You are finally here... I thought you wouldn't show up, " Daniel said, and Alex smiled slightly at the older man... "I didn't know you returned," Ale

"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...

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...

    "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!"
