2024-08-29 18:26:41Alex glanced at his watch for the nth time. The meeting was taking longer than he had expected. It had been over an hour and he wanted to leave already. He glanced At Patrick who had already noticed how restless he was. Alex brought out his phone and messaged Patrick.
Alex: [Can you round things up for me here? I need to be somewhere right now] Patrick: [But sir you have a lunch meeting after this meeting] Alex raised his eyes and glared at his secretary and Patrick immediately nodded and knew not to ask any more questions. “I need to leave Mr Charles. Mr secretary will continue from here” Alex said and shook hands with the investor, who didn't seem a bit annoyed that he was leaving. Alex took the car keys from Patrick and left a bit in a hurry. He sighed deeply as he started his car engine and drove the car out of the parking lot. He just wanted to check… he just wanted to know if she was okay… Alex wasn't sure how but he could only think of the park where they had sat together. He knew he might not see her there but it was worth trying… He stopped his car and decided to walk, but when he got to the park his eyes grew wide in surprise when he saw a familiar figure sitting on the bench with her eyes closed. She was here, sitting on the bench like she knew He was coming. He walked slowly and sat on the far end of the bench, his eyes on her. “Hi,” Alex said and watched as her eyes flew open and she turned to look at him. She looked surprised at first and then confusion mixed with it and the next thing he knew she was on her feet and walking away as fast as she could. He got Up and followed after her, as he was taken aback by her sudden action. “Please don't follow me” Alex heard her say and he was about to say something to her when she suddenly fell to the ground, shocking him… “Miss!” Alex immediately rushed to her side and tried to shake her awake but she wasn't responding. He picked her up immediately and rushed to his car… ______________ ______________ Juliet's light brown eyes slowly fluttered open…where was she…what had happened… her mind was foggy… Her eyesight slowly became clearer and she was met with a pair of green eyes staring back at her. The eyes were filled with concern and worry and he was saying something to her, but all she could think about was how handsome this person was… from his eyes to his nose…to his lips…to his chiselled jawline and cheekbones…his brown air… Was she dreaming? “Miss…miss are you alright…nurse…” Even his voice sounded… Her eyes immediately grew wide when she realized who he was and she tried to get up but she felt a pain in her head and something was on her hand… “Where am I…” she muttered as her other hand travelled to her head… “You are at the hospital…” the handsome man who had run away earlier said. Her memory finally returned to Her… “Careful” the man said and held her hand when she tried to get up, but she swatted his hand away… A nurse Came in a few seconds later… “You are awake, Miss Adams” Juliet slowly looked up at the nurse… How did the nurse know her name? The nurse helped with taking out the drip and checked her vitality and Juliet couldn't stop staring and wondering at the stranger… “You can leave now, but make sure you get a lot of rest,” The nurse said and made sure to smile at Alex before leaving the room… Alex handed her her bag when she was looking around for it and she glanced at him. “Why were you at the park?” She asked as she stood up. He handed her her jacket also and then waited till she was ready to leave. “I just came out on a walk and then you passed out” Alex lied, she glanced at him and remained silent for a few seconds. It didn't seem like she was buying his story, but it made sense and she had no idea if he was lying. He couldn't possibly tell her he had wanted to see her and coincidentally he had found her sitting on the park bench. Would he seem like a creep? “Thank you,” Juliet said and started to walk away but he immediately followed after her. “Let me drive you home” He offered but she immediately declined. “I can go home by myself. I'm grateful that you brought me here but I will be fine on my own” She lied. Alex didn't relent and continued to follow Her till she stopped in her tracks and glared at him a bit. “I don't think it's right for me to leave you on your own after what happened and if I meant any harm I wouldn't have brought you to the hospital” He made sense but still, she wasn't sure. Her feet still hurt and she had to walk a distance till she got to the bus stop. Maybe she would ask him to drop her off there and then hope this would be the last time she would see him again... , Juliet stared at this handsome man and sighed. She wanted to be alone and at the same time, he was just being nice by offering her a ride… “My car is over there” He added and she sighed again. She finally nodded and accepted his ride and they both walked to his car in silence. He opened the car door for her and all she could say was thank you. She ran her hand through her hair as she entered the car of the man she had run away from earlier. Why did she meet him again? She wasn't supposed to see him again after crying her eyes out last night. It was awkward and embarrassing and she had a feeling it was going to be a long ride...Related chapters

"I can go on my own from here you don't need to follow me” Juliet said and Alex shook his head. “They said you needed a lot of rest. I will drop you off at your house” He insisted and this made her sigh. Why was this man so persistent, it was getting on Her nerves. She glanced at him and it didn't look like he was going to stop the car...“Alright just drop me off at the park then, I can walk home from there” Julie wasn't sure if it was okay for him to know where she lived. He didn't seem like he would harm her. He even took her to the hospital when she had passed out. She was beyond Shocked when she opened her eyes and found him staring at her…“Since it's close to your place. Isn't it better if I drop you off then…” “Fine…whatever!” Julie finally agreed when she realized how persistent he was… she told him her address and they rode in silence, occasionally glancing at him… “I'm Alex,” He said out of the blue and she nodded. “I know your name and I gathered I haven't told you mine

Alex watched as she walked to her front door and he let out a sigh. She turned to look at his car and he smiled. She had that same curious look on her face as she entered her house… she was curious about who he was, but she didn't bother to ask even once…He was glad she was fine. He had been shocked when she passed out in front of him. He had also found out her name. Juliet, her name was Juliet…He started his car engine and drove off when his phone buzzed. “Where have you been sir!” Patrick sounded frantic at the end of the line…“I'm not a child Patrick. Can't I spend some time alone” “You can sir. But I was worried when I couldn't reach you, I was afraid of you…” Patrick trailed off and the smile on Alex's face was soon replaced with a frown…“That didn't happen, you don't have to worry… how did the meeting go?” “It ended well sir, they accepted the deal” “That's good to know. I'm going home. You can leave early today” Alex ended the call after. His demeanour had taken a comple

Juliet sat in front of the TV trying to distract herself, but she could barely concentrate on the movie and her whole mind was preoccupied with something else, or rather someone else… Alex.Why couldn't she stop thinking about him. He was just a nice samaritan and nothing more. But he had strangely comforted her. She had felt a peace in her heart when she was with because with him, she couldn't hide her feelings deep within her. She was vulnerable when she was with him and a part of her hated that. If he kept showing up, she didn't want to slowly start relying on him. A stranger, was he still a stranger now. Yes! He was a stranger, she only knew his name and that was all. She groaned and turned the volume of her TV… Why couldn't she stop thinking about him!.Her phone rang, startling her a bit. She picked it and saw that it was her boss. The deadline! She had totally forgotten about it. She sighed exasperatedly and waited for her phone to ring to the end… but it started to ring again

"You can't come in,” Julie said sternly as she stood by her locked door. “I know…I'm not allowed to come In… yet” he muttered the last part and almost smiled. “What did you say” “nothing. I should get going” He said, but Julie stopped him with her words. “Who are you really?” Alex stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, unsure if it was okay to tell her his identity. Would she try to avoid him if he told her? People tend to avoid him trying to become closer when they find out who he is… He didn't want to find out what would happen. Especially not from her. “I'm a guy who would like to see you again…” He replied, and Julie's eyes grew wide. Her cheeks became stained with a bit of red. She cleared her throat and looked away. Just as he was about to go, she said “I love the park” And she entered her house after, leaving Alex alone, staring at her door with a smile on his face. His smile only grew wider as he walked to his car, but once he got into his car and checked hi

Julie tried to hold back a smile as she worked on her laptop, but it was hard when her thoughts kept trailing back to him. Who was he, and why was he making her this way with just some simple words? And why did she have to give a reply like that? She should have told him not to show up again, other than she wanted him to show up again. She glanced at her calendar and saw that a week had passed already. During the whole week…she had oddly been thinking about him showing up. And he finally did, when she had decided to forget about him. She wanted to know more about this Stranger dude. She even let him walk her own, something she would normally never allow. She would have found ways to avoid him, like she did to most people. “Mom, what do you think… Do you think he is a creep…should I be more careful” She muttered as she finished her work and closed her laptop. She yawned and stretched her hand, her eyes darting to her clock. It was past midnight… She got up and slowly walked to he

"Find out who he has been going to see and do it discretely. You know what will happen it he find out about this" Michelle instructed her P.A, there was no way she was going to let Alex get his way, not after she had to go through in the hands of his father. he had to compensate her for all the years she had suffered. She was going to make him do what she wanted. "Don't you think you are being too much. Why can't you just leave him be Michelle... you will make him dislike you the more. " Caroline tried to advise her sister, but it was like talking to a wall. She saw the determination in Michelle's eyes and knew nothing she said would ever get through to her. She was bent on doing what she wanted. "You off all people shouldn't say that to me!" Michelle channelled her anger to Caroline, who was just trying to advise her, and Caroline sighed, yes, a wall.

"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

"Juliet!" Alex called out to Juliet, who he had been waiting for for almost an hour... "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... She was super excited about the trip and was thinking about all the things they could do there and one of the things she wanted to do was go out on an evening walk...thankfully they were spending a few days there, and every night they could go on a walk...

The days went by quickly, and soon everything started to go back to normal... Glenda's case was reopened and Michelle and Daniel were charged to court to be tried... Months had passed and Alex barely spoke about what happened... 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... Michelle, on the other hand, was going to face a lighter sentence because she had helped the police and had come clean... her sister was by her side every step of the way and even if Alex didn't show it, Juliet knew he was relieved to each that... she had heard him talking on the phone with Patrick and asking him to get his mother the best defence

"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!"
