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
Alex eyes fluttered open and became wide in horror, how the whole body was covered in sweet and his chest heaving... he closed his eyes and sat up in his bed. It was just a dream... It had looked so real and vivid, and he still felt that horror even though he was aware that none of it was real... He tried to steady his breath and stood up... Alex walked into his closet and changed his shirt to another shirt... He had been having the same nightmare for years now, and it wasn't getting better, only worse and vivid, but the one he had now scared the shit out of him... He walked out of his room and headed down the stairs... The house felt too stuffy for him.... He didn't want to be here any longer... He froze in his tracks when he got to the way that led to another hallway in the house... The hallway when the room in his nightmares were..... He wished there was a way he could demolish the entire house, but he knew his mother and uncle would freak out if he suggested a thing like that...
Juliet continued to pat his back softly and soothingly till he finally calmed down, and his breath slowly started to return back to normal... Alex felt the pain in his chest slowly start to dissipate... and he dropped the paper bag and took one last deep breath... "Are you alright?" She said in a soft voice, her eyes filled with concern... Alex nodded and felt like almost all the energy in his body had drained out... "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" She asked him again, and he nodded. She nodded also and decided not to ask him that it was all about... he didn't look like he was in the best position to start explaining it to her... "I will be right back," She said to him and stood up... Alex watched her as she walked towards her kitchen... He had only ended up making her worry... he still felt the pain in his chest even though it had reduced.... he wasn't in the best state to drive himself home, so he decided to call Patrick to come pick him up, but He realised he w
Alex was downstairs in twenty minutes and not twenty-five like he had said... "Good morning, sir," Felix greeted him, and Alex nodded... "Will you be having breakfast at home?" the butler asked, and Alex shook his head, even though he was completely famished... "Where is Patrick?" He asked when he didn't see Patrick around... "He is having his breakfast," Felix replied, and Alex sighed deeply... "Tell him to meet me at work then," He said and walked out of the house and towards the garage... The expression on Felix face changed, and he watched as Alex walked off... He looked really worried and sighed deeply... "You should be okay by now. It's been so long already," the butler muttered... He walked back into the dining room and saw Patrick munching on his breakfast... "Mr Graham said I should inform you to meet him at work." The butler and Patrick eyes immediately grew wide. "What!" He exclaimed and immediately got up... He made sure he finished his orange juice before he rushed
"Please leave. I need to work," He said, cold, and Michelle scoffed. Maybe if she had other kids, she wouldn't be so hurt by how she was treated by him... he was her only child and problem... "I heard your uncle is back. Did he say anything bad about me again!" Michelle continued and didn't look like she was going to leave... Alex had a lot on his mind, and he couldn't listen to her, making his thrombin head worse... He stood up and walked right past her, and Michelle was appalled by this behaviour... "Where do you think you are going, I thought you had work to do! are you going to see that girl again!" She said, but Alex ignored her and walked out of his office... Michelle sighed deeply and walked to the couch... she took a seat and tried to steady her breath... she shouldn't have left him all by himself in that house... She regretted doing that every day... After what he had witnessed that day, she had thought it would only make him stronger and overcome his fear... She didn't g
Juliet was returning home from work and had her umbrella with her... she had seen the weather forecast and saw that there was about seventy percent chance that it would rain, so she picked her mom's favourite umbrella and she immediately opened it when she saw that the rain was about to start... She started to walk towards her house and took the route where the park was... Her new favourite spot, and then she spotted someone... when she got closer... He was sitting under the rain and not moving... She immediately recognised him "Alex" She said and hurriedly walked to where he was so she could cover him with her umbrella... Why was he sitting under the rain and now getting up... Alex slowly raised his head when he didn't feel the rain anymore, and he sighted an umbrella... "Why are you sitting under rain... are you trying to catch a cold? " He heard a familiar, soothing voice and saw her face... She was here... A slight smile immediately appeared on his face, and juliet let out a
