Juliet walked Alex to his car when it was finally time for him to leave... He looked tired and hesitant to leave but he knew he couldn't stay and it was getting late...

"I'm sure your father wouldn't like to know you are finding it hard..." She said as he was about to enter his car...

"I doubt it" Alex answered... "He was more of a workaholic than I was and always put his job first before anything else. that was the live he lived"

"isn't that more of a reason, why he wouldn't want you to live like him" Juliet said and it took Alex a few seconds to digest her words...

"Thank you for the dinner" Alex said and smiled at her... Juliet stood there watching as his car drove off... she hoped he was going to be okay...

    "That stupid boy," Michelle muttered under her breath when her driver drove she and Gina, to where juliet worked... She was glad she had such a daughter in law with quick thinking. Gina reminded her of herself in a way... She was ambitious and she liked it... She just wished she wasn't so forward sometimes... it would have been better if she hadn't gone and found things out herself. She would have handled the matter sooner or later... "This is the place ma'am," Her drive said when they stopped in front of a building with a sign reading "DB Publishing company.""""

Charles said with disdain... "How is that any of your business?" Anna replied and drank all the contents in the wine glass before pouring herself into another glass. Charles shook his head.

    "How was work?" Alex asked, breaking the silence between the both of them. A smile appeared on Juliet's face when he mentioned work. Her mood was just great today..."Really great, we have been having problems lately, but I think everything is going to be solved soon," Juliet said, and Alex nodded... he was glad to know that everything was working out well, like he had instructed Patrick to make sure of...The smile in her beautiful face warmed his heart...

    "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?

    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
