Alex's POV

“You sure you want me to stay?” I asked, to confirm that my ears weren't deceiving me.

“Yeah, lie down.” She said, tapping on the space beside her.

I laid on the bed and slid under the covers with her, making sure she was warm.

I pulled her closer to me and kept head on chest as we drifted off to sleep.

*****

The first streaks of sunlight stirred me to consciousness.

I sat up, leaning on the headrest as I watched Gina in her sleep. She was indeed a beauty to behold.

Her eyes flickered open drowsily as she yawned and stretched.

“Good morning, Princess.” But her facial expression turned sour immediately.

“What are you doing here? Did you take advantage of me last night? Is that why you woke up feeling so happy and good?” She questioned, moving to the side thereby creating a distance between the both of us.

“What are you talking about? Take advantage of you? I'd never do that, Gina.” I swore.

“Then what are you doing here? On my bed? Right next to me?” She asked eyeing the

    Gina's POVThree days later…I hurried to the company event centre to see how everything was going. I was hosting the first charity gala since I took over the company.I stood in the grand ballroom, surveying the space with a critical eye. The charity gala was this evening, and I was determined to make it the most talked-about event of the season. As the new CEO of Saxton Empire, I knew that this gala was an opportunity to showcase our company's commitment to philanthropy and community involvement. But I also wanted to make a statement – to prove that I was a force to be reckoned with in the business world.I turned to my event planner, a harried-looking woman named Sarah. "I want this gala to be unforgettable," I told her. "I want people to be talking about it for months to come."Sarah nodded, scribbling notes on her clipboard. "I understand, Mrs. Saxton. We're going to make sure that every detail is perfect. From the décor to the entertainment to the food and drink, we're going

I can't dispense Toni, at least not yet. At the same time, I can't afford to lose Regina. How do I sort out this issue?“Alex, chase two girls, loose the one.” I ran my hands through my hair in frustration.Toni had been so upset and hurt after what happened the last time and I haven't made time to go and see her.Toni will have to wait. I must win Gina's heart by all means if not I'll appear as a failed man before Jude and the rest of my friends.I must get this done. With a firm resolve, I stepped outside my room to find Lana. I saw her in the hallway, about to retire to her room.“Lana, can I speak with you for a moment?”“Of course, Sir. Let me drop these clothes inside.”“I'll be waiting inside my room.” I walked away briskly back to my room.Two minutes later, there was a soft knock on the

My secretary , Jenna and I were in the elevator, heading to the fourth floor where my office was.“Jenna, what else do I have on my schedule for today?” “Nothing else, Ma'am. Someone sent a gift to you.” Jenna said, hiding a smile.“A gift? Where is it?” I asked curiously “I kept it on your table in the office.” Who could have sent a gift to me? I wasn't expecting anything from anyone.We opened the office door, and I saw the gift.It was a big, colourful bouquet of flowers. Instinctively, I raised the flowers to my nose and the scent was refreshing.“Oh my! Who sent these? The flowers are so beautiful and they smell so sweet.” I exclaimed.“The delivery man didn't say. It was anonymous. I think someone just wanted to surprise you.” “This is so sweet!” My mind began to race on who could

It's been more than a week since we struck the deal. I'm sure he would want to know how far I've gone.“Hey, what's up?” “Alex, the man! How is it going? Hope you're living blissfully now?” “Far from it. We still have our usual squabbles.” I said dejectedly.“That's bad. Have you started gifting her yet?” he asked.“Yes. I got some flowers for her today, delivered them to her workplace but it was an anonymous kind of thing. So she didn't know I was the one. I also bought some personal stuff for her but I think she hasn't seen them.” I narrated.“That's good for a start. Let's wait to know how she'll react to them. If she likes them, you know what to do next.” “How will I know if she likes the stu

Today was a Saturday, so obviously, I'm not going to work.My cheeks went red immediately. I recalled the activities of last night. Alex knows how to make use of his hands, I must say. But then, he got me so upset that I was fuming when I came inside my room last night.I forgive him now. I'm not even meant to be upset because he was only trying to be a gentleman. He didn't want to take me in without my proper permission.I'll have to thank him for this later because if I had fucked him last night, I might be regretting it this morning. Judging from the fact that I don't know if he loves me yet.Do I even love him? Am I beginning to love him or am I just loving how he makes me feel?Meanwhile his gifts were just so beautiful.

I tried to be very fast.” I chirped.“Is this what you call fast? You took up to two hours” he said, brushing imaginary lint away from my gown.“Well, I'm a lady. A lady is never late, note that.” I smirked.“Noted, Ma'am. You look stunning by the way. In as much as you're dressed casually. I feel like I'm overdressed.” “No. You're good. Let's go to the hospital.” I remarked.“Do you have other plans for today?” He asked as we were heading to the garage.“Not yet. I plan to rest as much as I can. It all depends on whenever we return from the hospital.” I said.“Which car should we use today, Baby?” We were standing at the entrance to the garage.“Let's just go with the Bugatti.

But as the doors slid open, revealing a stunning penthouse apartment, I gasped in wonder.The first thing that caught my eye was the breathtaking view of the lake. The penthouse was situated on the top floor of a sleek, modern building, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a clear view of the sparkling water. As I turned to Alex, I saw that he was watching me with a pleased smile on his face.

She looked so pale on our way to the hospital.Is this what Gina experienced when she lost her baby? I felt a pang of guilt gnawing at my chest but I dismissed it.It wasn't my idea to poison Gina. Lily came up with that on her own Accord, if I knew she was going to do that, I would have spoke up against it.Anyways, this might be Lily's retribution time. Or maybe her own pains is just intense?I shook my head to brush these negative thoughts away. The time was past 4am by the time I checked my phone.My heart raced when I got a call from one of my friends. I had called him for support earlier.“Hey man. What's up?” I asked, swallowing down the lump in the throat that formed this night.“I'm sorry about your wife's condition.

I checked my bedside clock, rubbing my eyes. It was half past three in the morning. Another scream rang out, this time louder than before. I could hear the hurried footsteps, banging doors and hushed whispers.“Elenaaaaa! Somebody help!!” Lily screamed.I wore a coat over my night dress and rushed out. In the hallway, two or three servants were hurrying into her room.“Ma'am, what's wrong? What is going on? Are you alright?” I asked, holding her outstretched hand.She clutched her belly with one hand, grabbing onto my wrist with another hand as she winced in pain.“Call Julian. Please, I'm dying.” She pleaded.“Go and call Sir Julian.” I ordered the servant that stood at the door in fear and she scurried away.“Ma'am, what can I do to help? A glass of water, coffee?” I asked in panic, supporting her head with my hand.“No. I don't

He was both speechless and confused. Watching this scene was so funny to me as I remembered the real culprit behind the setup.*****(Flashback to yesterday night)I heard the sound of Julian driving his car from my room. I peeked from the curtain blinds to watch him properly. I waited patiently, for him to leave the car before I'll come down.I had already planned out what I was going to do. After about three minutes, I saw him climd out of his car. I walked gingerly through the stairs, careful not to make any sound.I went through the back door to the garage and then to the parked car.I opened the passenger seat and tucked the used condom underneath the seats.Then the torn packet, I held it in my hand to plant it somewhere else. When I went back to the house, Lily was lying in the sofa in the

    Elena's POV When I got home, it was almost seven p.m. and Mr. Julian was not home yet. Lily paced around the room with her hands on her waist. “Please get some rest, ma'am. You have been like this for the past thirty minutes now.” I pleaded.“Let me be, Elena. You have no idea how worried I am. Why isn't he home yet? What if something has happened to him?” She asked, her brows furrowing.“Let me get you a cup of coffee. It will help you calm down a bit.” I said, hurrying off to the kitchen.I turned on the coffee machine and rinsed the teacup. Then I brought out the tiny bottle which I tucked into my apron.When I poured the coffee drink into the cup, I added a little quantity of the colourless. It had no scent and it quickly blended with the dark coffee drink.It would be better if I keep giving her this poison in minute amounts. That way, it will slowly eat up her insides without her knowledge. Until she would start feeling the pains, but it'd be too late by then.I stirred the li

After leaving me devastated? I was shaking from both anger, frustration and being heartbroken.Alex slung his arm over my shoulders when he noticed my shaky hands.“Alright, Thank you Elena. Goodnight.” I said, ending the call abruptly. When I dropped my phone, I broke down in tears.“All I ever did was love him. I loved Julian with my whole heart, Alex. I never treated him like trash, I was very loyal to him. That is my only offence.” I paused to catch my breath. This is how he has chosen to pay me back for everything. Not only did he betray me, he killed my child. Our child, Alex! Then he sent me away from his house. Alex, this is the height of it.” I wailed but Alex gripped me tighter as I shuddered against him.I cried for minutes which seemed like eternity until my head began to ache. I paused to clean th

Thank you very much!” I said, hugging Simon impulsively.The smoke had almost cleared by now but then I saw a figure staggering from a distance.I waited patiently for the figure to show up and it turned out to be Bruno.“Bruno! You're safe!” I shrieked in gladness.“The other guys were shot and they died at the spot. I was lucky to escape alive. I'm glad that you're fine, Ma'am. I'm sorry that we have failed in protecting you.” Bruno went down on his knees before I could say a word.“You're injured already. Please get up. It's not your fault.” I walked over to him and helped him rise to his feet, carefully avoiding the injury on his arm.“Ma'am, we need to leave now. Most of your men are fatally ill. Let's take them to the hospital immediately so that they can get medical care.” One of Simon's men said.We got into the big black truck which they came with and drove off to the hospital.On our way to the hospital, Alex f

The only thing on my mind was to go home, have a warm bath, eat good food and snuggle up in bed with the love of my life, Alex.The thought brought a little smile to my lips. I had several missed calls when I took a look at my phone. Five missed calls from Elena and three from Alex. I wonder why they were calling.I was so exhausted after how many hours of sitting and listening to talks. I dipped my phone back into my handbag, my mind trying to know why Elena called.Maybe she had information to pass to me concerning Julian or Lily. I'll call her when I get home, or maybe tomorrow morning. The elevator door opened up to the last floor and I stepped out. Bruno and the other guys were already waiting.

Lily and I had been living blissfully, enjoying the money which Toni paid me.I was getting ready for work when Toni called. I was quite surprised because ever since that day, she hadn't said anything about the deal we had.“Hey, cousin, It's time.” She said, her voice laced with excitement.“Okay, so what do you need me to do?” I asked.“Our victim is going on a trip, I want her to be murdered on her way.” She said blankly.“Noted, but how do I come in? Surely you don't want me to kill her by myself, whoever this your victim is?” I asked impatiently.“Most times, I wonder if your head is empty. I need you to send men that will intercept her, the men will end her life instead. I need it to be a neat job, leave no traces. Of course, if you leave traces, it will be traced to only you.” She threatened.“But then, what if…” I was about to object but she cut in.“Don't forget our deal. I on

They said two heads are better than one, right?“Anything I can help with, Ma'am.” She replied, our eyes locking together.“I want to send someone to Julian. She'll offer all the help that I’ll need in bringing Julian and Lily to justice. Recommend someone.” I said.“You mean you need someone to act like a spy in their house?” She asked. Sensing the excitement in her voice, I rose from my seat and walked over to her.“Exactly! I haven't forgotten what they did to me. I plan to deal with them in ways they can't even imagine. I have been waiting patiently for moments like this.” I replied.“I thought you removed the idea of revenge from your mind. Oh, please, allow me to go! I'll kill that Lily with my bare hands.” Lana said firmly,“No, not you. You're very much useful to me here. I can't allow you to go there.
