"Did I hear you say work?"

He came closer to her, giving her his right ear so he could hear what she said clearly.

"You heard what I said"

She kept a stern face looking all elegant in her outfit.

Alex was surprised that she had thought of working, but what he didn't know was the kind of work she talked about, and why she was looking suffocated in her outfit.

"When, where, how, and why did you get a job?" He wanted to be sure of the job she was talking about.

"Why are you asking me all those questions?" She became tensed and was thinking out exactly what she would answer.

"I am asking because I am surprised that you could think of making something good out of your life, and of course not all jobs are responsible", he said with a smirk on his face.

Monalisa felt embarrassed a little bit. Those words pierced through her skin down to her bone marrow.

"Alex, these questions are not necessary. Were you expecting me to remain in this house and cook for you like some sort of house hel

    "Hmmm… My downfall" Alex muttered under his breath. He began to think deeply and remembered George. "Could it be him?" He asked no one in particular.The secretary was confused about who he was referring to. "Who?" "George"He said calmly and slowly with his head bent, trying to think and be sure of what he said. She became more confused "Who is George, sir?" She askedAlex looked at her, stood up, and walked round his table with both hands in his pocket. "George Chulley was the one who visited two days ago. Do you remember?"She recalled that there was a shabby-looking young guy that walked into the enterprise and demanded to see Alex. He was putting on loose jeans with a bogus white shirt, though the white color was fading to brown. He also had a dirty-looking brown shoe with its mouth shattered, his hair was bushy including his unkempt beard, in all his dressing, he crowned it with a big golden chain on his neck. "Sir, you mean that dirty looking human? What would he want

    "What do you mean by he is the wrong guy?" One of the guys asked with his hands in both pockets. "Can't you see him with the FBI? Are you blind?" The guy kept calm. Alex arrived at George's company and told the security to relax. "I will be right back" He walked into the company. "Is your boss in?" Alex tried to maintain peace even in his speech. "Yes sir, you can go in" He walked to the door and knocked. Despite that George did something terrible to him, that didn't mean that he would lose respect for anybody. He was a respectful young man. "Come in" Alex heard his voice. The door swung open and Alex saw George sitting comfortably in his executive chair. George saw him and quickly stood up. "What are you doing here?" George asked nonchalantly.Alex slowly moved closer to his table. Placed his hands on his table and maintained direct eye contact with George while still standing. His mouth was closed but made some movements to show that he was grinding his anger in control.

    "How is he feeling now?""He feels much better, thank you my very good friend. I appreciate all your care during these trying times. So how did it go?" Susan asked impatiently."Guess what? I finally got the job" Ashley said, beaming with smiles."Are you serious? What happened?" "Well, you know I got a message from them and I went back to the company. The receptionist was not ready to attend to me. I showed her the message and she looked at me and told me to hold on. While I sat down there waiting, the person I assumed to be their boss came out of the office and asked who I was?""I told him I got a message from them via email and I have been waiting all day to be interviewed. He was surprised and gave the receptionist a questioning look. He asked her why she didn't let me in but there was no reasonable response from her. He scolded her thoroughly and guess what? In her presence, he told me I had been appointed as the new secretary to the office""Wow, are you serious? You are reall

    Ashley looked at her with all curiosity "What is it?" "If you eventually fall in love with Peter and your father refuses to give his consent or refuses to forgive you, I think I and my husband can stand in as your parents" Ashley widened her eyes "Are you serious?" "Yes of course""Wow! That will be lovely. But I just hope my father will forgive me. I don't think anyone can replace my father and the love I have for him""I understand. I think we need to go back to where everybody is enjoying themselves instead of you staying all alone here and sulking like a baby" Susan said Jokingly."I will join you soon", Ashley said with a smile."No! I want you to follow me" Susan held Ashley's hand and they left the room. "Brighten up girl," Susan said with a smile and patted her on the back.When they arrived in the living room, Peter was stealing glances at her. He finally stood up with the glass of wine in his hand and walked up to her "Hey! How are you doing?" "Hi! I am very well an

    "Shii! Ashley just calm down" His voice was low"You said what? Don't touch me""Just calm down please" She tried to struggle with him but he overpowered her. Roland tried kissing her. She was doing everything possible to push him away and then his lips touched her nipples, she became weak. Immediately Roland tried to go deep down and she realized herself, Ashley pushed him out which made Roland fall off. She stood up immediately. He tried holding her but she gave him a slap "How dare you? Are you insane? How could you try to cheat on your wife with me?""But she is barren. I need a child""Really! And you think I am in the best position to give you a child?""I can even get married to you and send her off. I don't mind""Shut up! You are a very wicked man who is full of pretense. Now I know who you are but believe me, your wife will hear of this""You dare not!" Roland fumed in angerAshley looked at him so angrily and walked out on him and moved straight to the room.

    Ashley was dumbfounded. She brought out her phone and recorded them as they walked together. Ashley waited till they left so that she won't be seen. "Why is he doing this?" She remembered that her boss might be waiting for her. Ashley hurriedly left the restroom and went back to meet her boss. "Ashley, are you okay?" "Yes sir, I feel better now. I had a sharp pain in my stomach" "Oh! Sorry about that. Maybe the chicken was very spicy" He showed concern"Not only that, but I think it's also because it is late already" "That's true. Don't worry I will soon take you home. Let me quickly round up with my client" "No problem sir" Ashley was not listening to what they were discussing. She kept wondering why Roland will be cheating on his wife with a random girl. Ashley was thinking of what to do, but she felt that it was not time to talk. "I just have to pretend not to know anything and mind my business so I don't break my friend's home" She muttered to herself. By the time her bo

    "So what do we do now?""Just calm down. I am very sure he is fine wherever he is, but you need to rest, okay?" "I cannot rest while my husband is out there by this time. Let me call Peter""Okay, that's fine" Ashley knew that the problem was about to begin if she tried and called Peter. She thought of stopping her but Susan will never allow that.Ashley knew the exact truth, that Roland was not with his friends but was actually out with a woman. Maybe he had decided to spend the night with the woman without the knowledge of his wife, but at least he would have called his wife and informed her that he won't be coming back."Hello, Peter," Susan said with a shaky voice. Her hand trembled as she held the phone."It's me, Susan, please is my husband there with you?""So you didn't see my husband at all?""Oh, my God! He is not at home" "I have tried his line but it is not connecting" "Okay, thank you" "Did he say your husband was not there?""Yes, he said he didn't see my husband. H

    "Honestly, I am surprised that such a thing still exists in this city, but I am happy with the way you took up the matter. I am very sure that wherever he is now, he will be regretting why he had to do that""Sincerely speaking, if I had fallen asleep, my house would have been raided by armed robbers," Alex said "I am so happy for you. How is Monalisa taking the whole situation?""I haven't told her anything relating to it. She only thought maybe ordinary armed robbers came to take some things from us. I haven't told her the Genesis of the whole problem" "Well, she doesn't need to know about anything. Just keep on playing cool. But have you not found a way to reach out to Ashley?""I have tried every means possible but it all proved abortive. The only thing that scares me is that Monalisa knows everything about Ashley""Are you serious?""I am telling you the truth""How did you find out? I mistakenly called her Ashley""Shit!""I had to find a way to cover up everything. She also m

    Alex stepped into the house, he took note of a strand lying on the floor, he looked around for an item with weight, he took a few steps backward and threw the item toward the strand and just like he thought, an explosion occurred. George was on his way to the ship when he heard the explosion. “Yes! “ He yelled, laughing boisterously, Ashley who looked half dead, too weak from her wailing, mourning Alex just stood there as he pulled her toward the ship. Hearing the explosion, she was startled, she wondered why he would blow off the abandoned guest house when he was about to get away. “It's finally the end, we can finally start a new life, with nothing to worry about, Don't worry I will take care of the child since it means a lot to you, All you need to do is love me, much more than you did Alex” He blurted out, caressing her cheek, she slowly pulled away from him. He clenched his teeth, as he watched her pull away, he pulled away as he was filled with ecstasy from the realizati

    Alex lay on the hospital bed, watching as the fluids flowed through the line into his veins. “Buzz!” his phone buzzed, he tilted his head to pick up his phone, and he saw a message from an unknown sender. He yanked himself off the bed and he punched his phone to check the message. “If you want your wife and child in one piece, show yourself, and let’s end this once and for all” Alex read it out, he looked around but no one was there, at that moment another message came in “Involve the police and she gets it!” Alex looked around panicking, the thoughts of Ashley stuck with the monster again scared the shit out of him, He groaned, flipping his phone out of sight. He was not ready to dance to George’s tune, more so he wanted all this to end as soon as possible. He looked to make sure no one was watching him, he pulled out his car keys from the shelf next to his bed. He got up, walked toward the door, peeped through, and rolled back to his ward, pacing around the room as Cops w

    Alex opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling with his lashes constantly falling on each other, he titled his head to his left but there was no one next to him, he titled to his right, same emptiness, he rose off his bed, he looked around him, nothing felt familiar to him, stroking his hair, he walked through the walkway before him. ''Hey Alex, you’re up" Ashley hurled toward himHis jaw dropped, and puffed out a sigh of relief, seeing Ashley hale and hearty with their child still in her belly. He dashed toward her, pulling her into his arms, ''Oh baby, I was so worried, I thought something bad happened" He shivered as he held her hands. She pulled away gently with an awkward smile, “Something did happen but I'm glad you’re okay, let’s have breakfast” She urged as they walked together “Ashley, where is this?” Alex asked as he looked around the unfamiliar house, “What do you mean? We bought this house months after we got married” Ashley answered as she set out the table f

    Ashley slowly opened her eyes as she had shut them when he was about to pull the trigger. She felt the worst might have happened and was scared to see the horrible sight before her, she slowly looked at Alex to see if he was okay and thankfully he was, she looked at George whose arm was bleeding at the moment, Ashley gazed up to see who had shot him and gasped."I told you I was going to kill you myself." Mika stood in the doorway panting and holding her stomach in pain, Ashley recalled her being shot and thought she had passed away but thankfully she had saved them. George scoffed at her, aiming the other gun at her."If you really intended to kill me then you would aim for my chest or head." He sounded cocky, not a single shred of fear in his voice. Alex used the opportunity to launch an attack on George and punch him in the head thereby making him stagger forward, Alex took the gun from his hand and hit his hand where the bullet had been fired, he groaned in pain as blood gushed ou

    I would do it and that's a promise." Alex assured him staring him right in the eye. "All you have to do is let my wife be and live your life."George burst out laughing at him knowing quite well, what the proposal was going to be. "Do you really think I'm that frightened that I can't leave whenever I want?""You can't leave, isn't it obvious to you already? You would need my help and the only way you can leave is if I help you." Alex tried to bargain with him but George didn't seem to be interested in the offer and just burst out laughing at him."I wonder what you would do if people going out with you wanted to help a mafia out of the country just to keep his girl.""She's not yours you idiot!" Alex ranged in anger even though he felt like crap he couldn't stand the nonsense being spoken by George. One more kick in the stomach and he would literally cough out all his intestines if this carried on."Do you really think things are going to go your way because you feel so?" Alex laug

    A week had passed and still no response or return call from George which had Alex really worried, he had tried to track the number which was used in calling him but to no avail, it was as though it was erased and never existed. He got a call from an unknown number instantly answering it knowing who it was."If you want to talk, meet me at the location sent to you, bring someone along with you and she's screwed." George said from the other line of the phone and ended the call. Before he could say anything, the call ended. Alex quickly grabbed his keys making his way down the stairs, Tracy stood up at the sight of him making his way down the stairs so quickly wondering why he was in a rush."Have you found anything yet?" She asked him."He asked me to meet him up somewhere.""Let me go with you, maybe I could be of help somehow." She offered seeming somewhat restless, hoping that her friend was alright."Stay with Susan and I'll handle this, besides it could be dangerous for you to be

    Ashley silently sat on the cold floor staring in silence and not knowing what to do in her situation, She believed that Susan would be fine and by now they would have realized she was nowhere to be found, She felt sad that she didn't tell Alex about her plan but hoped he would understand her decision.Her train of thought was disturbed by the sound of the metal door opening, she looked up to see George approaching her with a big smile on his face as though he deserved it."What seems to be on your mind, my lady?" He grinned, placing a can of soda and some bread beside her."Predicting your death, what else?" She retorted sarcastically, he let out a light chuckle and paced around the room looking around as though finding if she had created some sort of escape route."Hmmm, dying by your hands doesn't seem like a bad idea you know? I won't make that possible because I don't want your hands to be stained with blood." He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes, staring at the junk beside h

    Ashley looked around the place to see if anyone was coming and when she saw no one, she became more frightened, she had left the house under Alex's nose but this was the sacrifice she had to make to ensure the safety of Susan."Thought you weren't going to come."George snickered from behind, she jerked her head to look at him and her body followed, a frown shown on her face as she gazed at him in hatred."Have you set her free?" She asked and he nodded at her reassuringly but it was hard to believe his words but she had no other option. "So what are you going to do to me now?" "Continue from where we stopped." He smirked at her, dragging her by the hair and pulling her closer. She screamed in pain trying hard to release herself from his grip but to no avail. "Did you really think that I would let it slide you bitch?""I dont care if you're angry, you deserve to die.""Who is talking about dying? If at all anyone needs to die first it should be that baby in your belly." He smirked a

    Ashley took out the tracker she had in her hair and handed it over to Tracy."I'm glad you're safe, I hope your didn't get hurt." Alex observed her body for any signs of injuries but she was okay."You don't have to worry too much darling, I'm doing just fine." She assured him."What happened to Mika?" He asked her and her face instantly turned to a frown."She betrayed us, she had intentionally exchanged the ring tracker to divert the attention of the cops but thankfully I had another which she had no idea about." ,shley explained."I'm sorry about that… for putting you and our baby in danger." He held her hand in his with a guilty face."It's alright but I didn't have trust for her from the onset and thankfully it paid off." She shrugged."The doctor would be here soon as you requested," Tracy told Alex who nodded frantically, Ashley looked at him in confusion wondering why he called the doctor."What's wrong?"
