Chapter 7

Alex examined the last painting in the room and pointed out the only three that caught his eyes, he nodded to Arnold and signaled for him to lead the artists out. None of them gave him as much enthusiasm as he expected, but the few ones that thrilled him had to be taken. He sighed tiredly and managed a smile at the expectant faces in the room.

"We will get back to those of you that impressed us, but you can leave the paintings here for further examination." Arnold told them.

Alex did not wait for Arnold to join him, or for the last artist to leave before he left. He walked down the hall briskly, his mind troubled. He had a shitload of paperwork waiting for him there, and he was checking his cell phone every three seconds for any calls or messages.

Arnold caught up with him and handed him a file which he barely spared a glance.

"I'm not taking any more samples, Arnold. They should come back tomorrow."

"Yea, but someone else can check them out if you are too tired.

    Chapter 8 “Brother.” “What is happening here?” The man asked, his face was squeezed in a tight frown and Hayley could not help but whimper when he looked at her, “What is she doing here?” He asked again. “She is my guest.” “What kind of guest?"A very important kind.” Alex said and walked back to his seat behind the desk. Hayley was still standing with her head bowed, and once again, her eyes caught the brightly polished shoes that the new man was wearing. She could only imagine how expensive they would cost. Even though Alex was looking disorganized today, she was still gawking at how hot he looked, and yet here was another super hot man from the same family."You. I think I know you." Hayley looked up, but she regretted it immediately because the man's eyes widened in what she assumed to be recognition. She quickly brought her face down again and wrapped her hands tightly in front of her while biting on her lower lip."It's you from the interview." The man said ago , this tim

    Chapter 9 "Where are we going?" Hayley asked when they got outside and she saw Alex enter the car and his aide or whoever it was opened the door and gestured for her to enter too."Get in first, Miss." The man, who was still holding the car door open said. She recognized him from the accident, he was the same man who had come to handle the situation. Maybe his chief security or butler. She couldn't help the panic she felt at the moment. Were they going to kill her? Oh, no! She gasped as the sudden intensity of the situation dawned on her. She didn't know what Alex and his brother had talked about, and earlier, he had accused her of trying to blackmail him. And if he had paid the witnesses off, didn't that mean he didn't want the press to know what had happened that day? And so far, she was the only one with the information, and she had walked straight to her death by coming here. The realization made her take several steps back from the car, but she was gently pushed forward by a

Finn looked at Alex and frowned at the doctor's deception but he gave the boy a reassuring smile. Finn returned his smile and lay back on the bed, the smile not wearing off. "He is doing so much better now." The doctor said proudly as he folded his kits into the small box he brought. Alex nodded, "He should. Thank you, Doctor."The doctor smiled and left.Alex gave the boy a light pat on the shoulder and whispered, "Get some rest, champ. Let me see the doctor off." He made to leave, but the boy's little hand grabbed him and held on, "You said you were going to come home with my mum today." Alex furrowed his brow and his smile disappeared immediately, "I said I might, if you get well." The boy's eyes clouded with tears, "But you promised!" "Did I?" "The doctor said I'm doing better!" The boy said bitterly."Yes, but not totally." Alex said and

    Chapter 11His mouth was warm on hers, his kiss gentle. His hands moved slowly on hers, trailing small circles on her body until he slowly reached her back. Hayley shut her eyes at first, her surprise not letting her know what to do. Alex stopped long enough to stare into her eyes, she tried not to blink, tried to hold his gaze. But she couldn't, he looked like he was going to pounce on her at any moment, but oddly enough, she was not afraid.Hayley gulped down, and tried to look away, his eyes were making her so uncomfortable. The watch he watched her like she was going to disappear. Maybe she was, because she felt like she would melt under his hot eyes. She tried to look away, but he held her cheek and brought her head back to face him, then he leaned down and just continued staring at her half parted lips. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face, and that only increased her temperature by a thousand degrees. "Sir… Alex…" she called softly. Alex kissed her again, lightly at

    Forbidden 12 Arnold did not have to answer, the door burst open with a force that made Hayley jump in fright, but her shock intensified when Ursula walked in, elegant as ever. Alex hung up immediately, his eyes flying to the door. Ursula stopped short as soon as she entered, she looked from Alex to Hayley, back to him and then her eyes settled on Hayley again. Hayley was huddled in the corner, her mouth hanging open and her lips literally trembling. Her legs were still weak from the intensity of Alex's kiss, and yet here she was again, standing face to face with the woman whose husband she just neatly had sex with. The tension in the room was chilling, and the silence was everything compared to a graveyard. Hayley saw the flash of anger in Ursula's eyes, and she saw her beautiful face twist in a painful frown. She swallowed hard, not knowing what to say, what was she supposed to say? Alex did not look like he had just been caught in the act though, he looked… angry and surprised,

    Chapter 13Alex left the art room with a brooding temper, yet he walked to the room with slow strides, taking his time to count each step he made. He was certainly in no mood to face Ursula, he could not even trust himself not to lash out on her for what she had just done. But he knew he wouldn't even if he could.Ursula was a very manipulative person and he knew that better than anyone else. Which was why he had no remorse whatsoever for what happened between him and Hayley. Even if Hayley was never there when she came, Ursula would still have found something to yell about. It was her way, to try to goad him into anger. Probably so he would do something drastic, something that would make her have the upper hand. But living with her for a better part of ten years had also taught him something, which was to let Ursula have her way.And now he had something better to worry about, someone that occupied his thoughts. The thought alone made him smile, how yielding she was, how much her bo

    Chapter 14 Alex did not accept the invitation immediately, because he was too stunned to understand what was happening. He just lay there, watching her with a surprised expression. Ursula, realizing his predicament, gave him a reassuring smile before she leaned down and kissed him. It was a light peck at first, but soon, her mouth began to trail up. When she went lower to touch him down there, he held her both hands up and brought them back to her sides, "Ursula… what are you doing?" "Making love to my husband, is that a crime?" Alex swallowed hard, "Why? The Last time I checked, you said something about…""Babe, forget that." She removed her hand from his light grip and started trailing small lines on his chest slowly, "I thought we should try again." She shrugged, "Start afresh perhaps. Who knows, we can even…""Ursula," Is this about the divorce? Is that you…""Shhh." She placed one hand on his lips to silence him, "Why do I not like the sound of my name on your lips? Oh, it's

    Chapter 15The next morning, Arnold was waiting by the door when Hayley woke up. It didn't take her long to figure out that she was not in her room back in her father's house. How could she forget with all the comfort that this place offered? It was safe to say that nearly all her problems went away by the time she fell asleep on that comfy bed, and the chilling air condition. Without having to worry about being taken advantage of by Alex, not like she would have minded, but even her mind was at rest knowing that his wife was back."Good morning, Miss Hayley." Arnold greeted with a cheerful smile.She stretched lazily on the bed and returned his smile, "Good morning Arnold. Can I sleep some more… please.""I don't know if you realize it, Ma'am, but today will be your first day at work. Her eyes widened, but he continued, "You will have the luxury of driving to work with the Master. So hurry up and get ready."She sat forward immediately and rubbed the drowsiness from her eyes. Then

    FOUR YEARS LATER~~~~00~~~~~(Had to give y’all an epilogue because I’m missing Alex and Hayley already.) "Come on, Klaus! Your dad is going to be late if you keep doing that!" Hayley chided her son as he ran into the bedroom."Dada!" Young Klaus called as he ran into his father's embrace. "Huh huh. That's not fair. You are supposed to say Mama." Hayley scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest as she eyed her husband and son. "Someone is jealous." Alex grinned as he kissed his son's forehead dottingly, "But you have to try to get in Mama's good books if you want her to feed you today until I'm back."As if understanding his father, Klaus clapped his tiny hands and said some baby words which ended in, "Maama!" "Yes! He finally said it!" She shrieked with joy and collected him from Alex, "He finally called me!" Alex watched both mother and son with amusement until a soft knock on the door interrupted them. As she handed the boy back to Alex and walked towards the door to open it,

    Chapter 100"That was cold, telling them about me like that." Hayley chided Alex later that night as they lay in his room. Alex frowned, "Why?" She sighed, "Because you just lost your wife, Alex. And announcing that you are expecting a child with another woman and confirming that you have been cheating on your wife with her for the six months prior to her death is not cool at all." He rolled his eyes, "My wife was an ass. Everyone knows now.""Yes. But they didn't know she was an ass six months ago." She reminded, "You realize her people might try to use this as evidence against you in the court of law?" With a sigh, he held her face close to his, "I'm expecting that. I have a pretty good lawyer and he knows just how to handle things like this." He propped himself on one elbow and sat up, "You know, actually, I'm anticipating just how much money this court case will fetch me when I eventually win." "Pretty confident, huh?" "Yep. And I actually think suing me is a very foolish thi

    Chapter 99The police came in on time to find Smith holding the gun while Hayley was retching all over the place from all that sight of blood and splattered brain. Smith was instantly handcuffed, even though he kept screaming like a mad man that he should be allowed to see his one true love. Alex was trying to hold Hayley, who didn't look like she could handle everything that was going on because he was sure that there was nothing left in her stomach that she could throw up. Smith had shot Sandy, and she was lying there dead with her brains scattered all over the floor. Everything happened in a flash, to think that the woman had narrated how he had used her for ten years and even confessed her feelings for him all those years only for him to end her life in a split second with a second thought. That only went to show how obsessed Smith had been with Ursula. The family had witnessed two murders in one day, heard the chilling confessions from two people they just didn't expect to be

    Chapter 98It was only Hayley who was still herself among all of them. Alex had sunk into a nearby seat and was currently holding his head in his hands, silently staring into space. Claire herself was leaning against the wall and looking so downcast. Allan and Arnold looked like their tongues were tied and the doctor was only waiting for a go ahead from Alex to do what Smith had just said. "You have strong reasons to believe that Finn is your son?" Hayley asked Smith with an inquisitive frown. "I believe so.""And if you are wrong?" "The test will prove that." The confidence with which he spoke was that of a man who knew absolutely what he was saying. The doctor looked at Hayley and then to Alex, who looked like he was currently questioning all his life decisions. She gave the doctor a nod of approval to carry out the test, "I guess the result will have the answers." She stepped back as the doctor nodded and went into the ward, he returned with the necessary things needed to dr

    Chapter 97Even though the shock of hearing Alex say he didn't want anything to happen to his child was still making Hayley's mouth hang open, she realized that seeing him being overprotective of her was better than any feeling in the world. But before she recovered from the shock, Alex was out the front door and was half running the rest of the way to his car. She ran after him and caught up with him, only to have him roll his eyes at her. He opened his mouth to tell her to go back but she shook her head, dragged the car keys from his hand and opened the car door, where she sat comfortably in the front and waited for him to join her. He did join her after sulking for three minutes, "You are too stubborn, Hayley. This is not good." "You said your son was in a critical condition, would you rather we remain here and argue than go to find out what is wrong?"He nodded his agreement and started the car, they drove out and covered the rest of the journey in an awkward silence, with Alex

  • Forbidden; Billionaire’s Secret Desire   His Brother’s Perspective

    Chapter 96The room she was out in had all the comfort, any other thing including food and water was brought in for her by a rather burly man who never smiled for once. There was a comfortable bed, a small seat and table with notebooks and a biro for her to write with, probably to keep her from losing her mind. But any gadget like mobile phone, laptop or even telephone was not allowed in her custody room. After the day he had caught and held her hostage, Claire had only seen Larry once after that and that was the evening of that day when he had come to tell her she should be comfortable but that he couldn't let her out. But she was losing her mind, not used to being locked up like this and certainly not used to being idle for so long. How did Larry expect her to remain locked up here and for how long? Surely he knew that the only way to keep her from talking was to kill her, and at this point, she didn't know if he would kill her. If he had managed to lock her up here for three da

    ❗️Trigger Warning❗️❗️This chapter talks about possible harm to a child and some other things that some might find upsetting! ❗️Chapter 95It didn't take up to a day for Sandy to find the paternity of Finn Xander. She sat in the car staring at the hospital she had just come out from, it was the same hospital in the paper that Smith had sent her, and she had been lucky enough to meet the same doctor who had attended to Ursula still working there. The bitch, she thought idly. She had managed to fool everyone all these years, thinking that no one would find out about all her evil schemes, she had smartly managed to get away with all that. But certainly, nothing is hidden under the sun, not even her stupid schemes. Fortunately, that doctor who had attended to her all those years ago knew too much, being that she had actually helped her carry out all her previous abortions and given her medical advice, Finn was her last hope for a child.Thanks to all that, even if Alex wanted to try fo

    Chapter 94Smith stalked down the hotel hall with a very neutral mood. Ursula was away, which was one reason his mood was not so nice, he could already imagine all the things she would be doing with Alex while she was with him and none of that made him happy. But he was consoled by the fact that she had left a good portion of her belongings here, which was a clear indication that she would be back soon enough. So feeling bored himself, he decided to go to her room and make the most of the beautiful scent of her cologne which was still lingering there. The first thing his eyes caught was the pile of clothes on the bed which she had scattered in her haste to leave. With a sigh, Smith started folding and arranging the clothes into her traveling boxes all while humming a beautiful tune to cheer his mode. With Elizabeth this close to finding all the evidence that was needed to complete their plan, the thought of what would happen to Alex when all his plans fell into pleasant places was

    Chapter 93Ghost That was all that kept ringing in Hayley's ears as she lay there on the cold floor, feeling the chill seep deep into her ribs. She had seen a ghost because she wanted to do something bad. How did she think she would attempt to destroy another person's home and get away with it? She could only hope that she was not dead at the moment. The irony of it, who would have thought that hell was this chilly? As she felt the sudden stab of pain in her abdomen, she winced, so she still had emotions too.Wow, hell was much more real than we thought. She managed to sit up, ignoring the thousand pains shooting up her body. By the time she was finally leaning her back against what felt like a cold metal, she shook her head and groaned. So she did finally end up in hell, Huh? Well, at least the punishment was better than damnation in eternal fire. "You are awake."That voice, Hayley's eyes shot open immediately, her vision was blurry but she waited until they adjusted to the blind
