Juliet picked up her phone that kept ringing for the nth time... she dropped her phone and face palmed herself... She had answered the call and it was her aunt... she ended the call immediately without hearing what her aunt wanted to say, and now she kept calling her over and over again... it was getting so much on her nerves, but she knew if she answered the call, her aunt would keep asking her for money... Money that she didn't even have to give. if she did, she would have used it to move away from this neighbourhood for good, but she was tight on cash, and Claudia was only making things worse. How was it her problem if her cousin was in jail. "Please would you f*cking leave me alone!" She yelled at Claudia and ended the call... she switched off her phone and slumped on her bed... When would all her problems end for good. Maybe moving away was for the better. What of Claudia found her again... Why did it have to be her... She couldn't always rely on Alex to defend her... They were
Claudia walked into the room, and Alex turned to look at her... She smiled at him and waved her hand as she walked to the chair opposite him... if things turned out well, she would have more than enough not only to bail her son out of jail but to also pay the interest off some of her debts, maybe even more... He eyes scanned his clothes to his shoes, he looked expensive too... Did he walk for a huge conglomerate? Or was he a business owner, maybe she could set him up with her daughter? "You can order anything you want," Alex said, and a few seconds later, a waiter came into the room to take their other... Claudia saw it saw it as her chance and immediately showed the waiter what she wanted on the menu... The most expensive dish in the restaurant... She wanted to taste what this rich folks spent so much on... He didn't look concerned about what she was ordering, and Claudia was finally convinced that he was loaded... Where did her niece meet such a guy... it would have been better
Gina sat in her car, trying to calm her nerves... "Send me his f*cking location right now!" She yelled at the private investigator she had hired over the phone... The last few days had been beyond unsettling for her, and she had been scared that Alex would approach her father... She couldn't take it anymore, she was angry and frustrated now... "But ma'am..." The private investigator started, but she caught him off... "Shut the hell up, do you want your money or not! whatever I do is none of your business!" Gina yelled at him... she was going to lose it if he was anywhere around that 'Juliet!' While she was in such a state... if he was just fooling around with her she didn't care about that, what she was mad about was the fact that he didn't want to have anything to do to her after she had planned out her life in her head with him... She had to start afresh! "Why can't you just fool around with her and then be with me? I need you, " Gina muttered. Her father was never going to leave
"She can go home after the IV drop is done," the nurse said before leaving Alex and Juliet alone... "I told you I was fine," Juliet muttered under her breath. She felt better and less shaken up than before... Alex had almost carried her into the emergency room when they got to The hospital she had to persuade him not to... She still had that thought at the back of her mind. Was it really just an accident or incident? Maybe the driver lost control and panicked when they almost hit her... "Have you called the police?" She asked Alex, who was sitting beside her and had his eyes on her like she would disappear at any second... "Yes, they will find out who it was," He lied. He had asked Patrick to find out who it was instead... "I would like to go home now, since I'm not seriously done... it's almost done. " She gestured at the Iv drip... Alex glanced at it and then at her... he would prefer if she just rested a bit here... "Maybe you should rest a bit," A suggested, but she shook her h
Juliet slowly reached her hand out to his face and tried to caress his face like her heart was telling to, but Alex turned his face and moved a feet away from her... He knew he wouldn't be holding himself back if she did so. "I should get going," Alex said in a low voice and hesitantly looked away from her... Juliet sighed and wanted to face palm herself. Why was he confusing her this way... What was wrong with him. why was he acting? This way, all of a sudden, was she too fast? "Are you really going to leave again?" She asked him, eyes filled with confusion. She reached out and held his hand... Alex stared at her and had to fist his hand so hard that his knuckles started to turn white so he wouldn't kiss her... he wanted to hold her hand again and caressed her face... she was so beautiful and tempting... he knew he had fallen for her already... he fell for he the first time he saw her... he could feel his heart pumping so fast on his chest... The spark between them was mesmiring
Gina pressed her car and broke down when she almost drove past a red light and drove right into another car... Her entire body was tensed up, and her chest heaving... She closed her eyes and tried to take a deep breath to calm herself but it wasn't working.... She started to bite her fingernails till it bled before she stopped. Her thoughts were conflicted... She was worried about Juliet and at the same time she wished she had just crushed her with her car... She felt juliet was too insignificant to be hindering her... the traffic light had changed back to green from red, and Gina didn't even notice it till the car behind her start to honk... it startled her... Gina started her engine and drove away to her boutique, her entire demeanour in shambles as she drove into the parking lot of her boutique... She came out of her car but immediately froze in her tracks when She saw her private investigator standing by his car that was parked close to her.... what the hell was he doing here! Cou
"Who is it?" Alex asked when Patrick called him again, "The car belongs to Dawson Corporation...." Patrick said and waited a few seconds before he added,"But it is driven by Gina Dawson. " Alex ended the call and immediately turned his car around... He saw red.... What right exactly did she think she had over him to try something like that... He didn't even know she existed before she came to his office uninvited and hid uncle told him about her... He was totally mad when he got to her boutique... Patrick was already there when he arrived... "Sir," Patrick said and rushed to Alex, but Alex walked right past him... "Shit." He cursed under his breath and quickly went after his boss... maybe they could handle it some other way... Clara was on her way out for a break when Alex walked in and startled her, she was about to put on a sweet smile and speak to him, but he just walked right past her and headed straight to Gina's office, Patrick following after him... She immediately went a
"Your son never listened to me...I guess he took after me," Michelle said as she wiped the picture of her late husband... the man she compared Alex to all the time... The man she had hated for a long time... the man she shared a son with... She sighed deeply as her hand glided over his picture... He looked so handsome with such a smile on his face... she was instantly smitten by this smile when she had seen him for the first time when he came with his father so see her father... But she had become heartbroken when she learnt her sister would marry him instead of her... She was such a fool back then... A sad smile on her face...if she could go back in time, would she still marry him? Then she wouldn't have Alex? Her son who hated her now and wasn't close with her? Would she be able to hold her little baby in her arms? Her child... She dropped the picture inside her drawer and sighed deeply... There was no use crying over a past that couldn't be changed... What mattered the more was
