2024-09-05 19:24:39"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 yet” He added and she nodded again and smiled slightly, unsure of what to say to him. “You haven't told me what you were doing at the park” That was what she was curious about. Why did he come back there? She hadn't seen him before… he didn't look like he was from around… “Oh…I was just curious” She raised her brow in question. “Curious? About?” “If you were okay” Alex answered truthfully and silence reigned Between them after. “Why would you be curious about that?” Julie muttered In a low voice and turned to look outside the window. Her eyes were starting to become blurry With tears. What was his deal? Why did he keep asking if she was okay? And why was she suddenly vulnerable anytime he asked that… “As you can see I'm fine” Her voice gave her away and Alex's eyes became etched with concern… he knew she wasn't okay even if she denied it… “You haven't had lunch yet. How about we get something to eat” He suggested trying to lighten the mood in the car and perhaps divert her attention… It was true, Julie was hungry. She hadn't had a single bite for more than twenty-four hours and she was sure if she returned home she wouldn't… She turned to look at him and nodded slowly. “I know a place,” She said in a low voice. She didn't want to eat close by and risk running into one of the area gossipers. She Didn't Even want to return home and truthfully preferred staying with this oddly nice stranger…Alex… Alex nodded and turned the car around. The silence between them Soon returned. Julie stared out the window and Alex glanced at her occasionally… When they arrived at the place, it was oddly not crowded and Julie had chosen a table at the side of the restaurant that was quiet and more private.. Alex had learnt from being around her that she preferred to keep to herself more…When their food arrived watched her just staring at it and not eating… “Do you want something else?” he asked when a few minutes passed and she still didn't touch her food. “No. I was just reminded of something” She replied and took a sip out of her drink… “Why are you being nice to me?” She blurted out and Alex was a bit taken aback by her question. He didn't realize he was being nice… “Oh. Nice? Well, I'm not sure if I am…anyone would do the same” Julie sighed because she had an inkling that that would be his response… “You could have left after taking me to the hospital and now we are having lunch together? Don't you find it weird because I do” Alex found it weird too. He found it weird that he kept worrying about her. He should have left the hospital but he couldn't leave her all by herself when the nurse told him she needed a lot of rest and for a moment he thought About taking her to his house so he could have this doctor check on her, but he knew that would freak her out when she regained consciousness. “I couldn't leave you on your own after you passed out like that. What if you passed out once again” Julie almost rolled her eyes at him, but she knew it might make her seem ungrateful. She slowly picked up her burger and took a bite out of it and Alex couldn't hold back a smile. She seemed better now, he took a bite out of his food too. They both ate in silence, Julie staring at him curiously. What did he want from her? Did he perhaps like her? She doubted it, he seemed more like a good samaritan to her, who was worried about a sobbing woman he had met by chance. But he seemed a bit too worried... She was about to pay but he bit her and paid for their lunch. He even ordered takeout for her leaving her more confused… He was being too nice… “Send me your account, let me pay for my food myself… you don't have to pay for me” She said as they walked out of the restaurant, but it only made a slight smile appear on Alex's face… “Give me your phone number, and I will send it to you” He handed her his phone and she typed in her number and his Smile widened… “I have your number now” He muttered, relieved that her mood had lightened. They rode to her place in silence and when they finally arrived at her house Julie said to him “Thank you” and he nodded. He thought she was just thanking him for taking her to the hospital but Julie was grateful for something else. He made her forget her grief for a moment…she was grateful for that…Related chapters

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

"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...

It had been a while since he had seen Alex look so mad... If looms could kill, then the woman would already be bed... Juliet's eyes slowly fluttered open when she didn't receive the smack she was expecting... but her eyes grew wide in shock when she saw Alex standing in between her and her aunt...

She looked around them and saw that a small group of people had gathered around because of the scene that was unfolded, and what made it worst was Mr Flicher and her group were watching also, none of them had stepped forward to help her or at least intervene... 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

"Do you think Alex would ever forgive me?" Michelle said to her sister as they sat in Caroline's courtyard for some tea... "What are you talking about? Are you worried now that he might marry that girl? I heard she moved into his penthouse. Do you think she is taking your son away from you? The two of you were never close in the first place, " Caroline said, her mind trailing to Charles and Gina... He had finally moved out of her house, and though they had spoken on the phone a few times. She barely saw him anymore. It broke her heart to know that her son, who she was always close to was slowly starting to drift away. She didn't want her and Charles's relationship to end up like Alex and Michelle. They were like an estranged mother and son, and if she hadn't been there and seen when Michelle was pregnant, one would have mistaken Michelle for an evil stepmother who disliked her stepchild.

Alex held Juliet's hand as they sat in the private visitation room of the detention centre, waiting for Gerald to be brought into the room... Gerald stopped in his tracks when he walked in, and his eyes fell on Alex, and then the young lady that was sitting beside him... his heart immediately dropped, and even though he hadn't seen her in a year, he immediately recognised her... it was Juliet, his little girl. His heart felt heavy as he continued walking and then he took a seat, his hand still in cuffs... he hated that she had to see him this way... Juliet's eyes were on the man who walked in. Though he looked a lot older now, she could tell he was the one she had seen in the pictures that Gladys had shown her. he was her father, the man that she had vague memories of and couldn't even remember his face.... her grip on Alex's hand tightened A bit as they both stared at each other in silence. No one knew what to say to the other till Alex broke the silence... "How have you been"

"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? Alex went on to tell Juliet everything about where he had gone and what her father had told him about his relationship with Her mother

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.

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
