Chapter Forty ThreeFriday came with a rush , Sally had already started her new job at Dimitri's company and was loving every bit of it . Friday morning Alicia packed a bag with sportswear as Alexander had already pre informed her that there was going to be a parent /teacher race and sport games .Dimitri had traveled for an impromptu trip to Italy the day before which was rather in her favor cause he would have required her time this weekend and she had an engagement to follow her boss to something about a dinner .She decided on the black two piece body hug sports bra and matching body hug top and shorts from Adidas . Then she packed a casual loose fitted mid thigh length flower dress . Alicia quickly dropped Sally off at her new office before zooming off to her office to meet up at 9:am when she is expected to resume.Arriving at her office , she quickly power walked to the elevator, her LV designer heels clicking ,once she arrived at her office floor she dropped her stuff in her o
Chapter Forty Four “ Alicia run !” Alexis screamed from the pews as she expertly kicked the soccer ball towards their net to score a goal . She , Alexis and Alexander already won the relay race and to be honest she was having the time of her life . She kicked the ball once more and it flew into the net before the goalkeeper, who is the slightly overweight school vice principal, could stop it .“ Goallll” children screamed, obviously all rooting for the parents who were playing against the teachers and staff . The final whistle blew signifying the match was over and children ran to the field hugging their parents in excitement.Alexis hugged Alexis who carried her up “ we won !” she said, wrapping her little arms around Alicia's neck . “ Yes we won !” she said, spinning her around slightly . Making Alexis chuckle , Alexander watched them from the other side of the field his heart aching with warmth . They looked like mother and daughter and Alexis looked so happy , if only he could
Chapter Forty Five After their meal , they all sat down to watch TV in the movie room . Alexis insisted she wanted to watch Sleeping Beauty and Alexander had no choice but to oblige. The couch is really big and comfortable so they all sat together Alexis in their middle cuddled up with a blanket.Barely thirty minutes into the cartoon , Alexis dozed off . “ I think our little lady is asleep, ” Alexander said . He stood up picking her up bridal style “ I'll put her in bed , I'll be back soon . Maybe we can watch a different movie if you're up for it ?” .“ Yes of course ” Alicia answered too quickly, full of enthusiasm . Alexander smiled and nodded , before turning to drop Alexis in her room. He came back almost immediately , Alicia looked at his shirtless figure that was progressively getting harder for her to stop ogling at .Alexander traced her eyes and found her admiring his body which inadvertently turned him on . Their eyes met briefly and his eyes darkened, Alicia quickly aver
Chapter Forty Six.Alicia dropped by her apartment knocking excitedly to let Sally know what was going on , Sally opened the door on the first knock letting her in dramatically rolling her eyes .“ And the prodigal returns, I was beginning to think you moved and forgot to tell me about it ”, “ oh stop being so dramatic , I told you about it well before the weekend. But I apologise your majesty I should have been here last year ”.She bowed down dramatically making Sally laugh , “ so before what you said you had to tell me gets lost in my babbling about my amazing day which was yesterday . Tell me what's going?”.“ You may want to sit for this one ”, Alicia arched a brow at her in amusement before gingerly taking a seat . “ Okay I'm trying not to get freaked out , I hope nothings wrong . Is your Dad okay ?”.“ Yes he is recovering well , calm down ” Alicia removed her hand that was on her chest when she thought something had happened to her Dad . “Okay spill then ” Sally sat next to h
Chapter Forty Seven The white mansion did not disappoint at all , it definitely lives up to its name . First thing Alicia noticed is that almost everything is brilliant white from the gate to the roses to the beautiful hose structure . The security didn't bother Alexander at all , as soon as they saw it was him , they let him in immediately . Guess he is a regular here , Alicia thought to herself. The car came to a stop at the car port and this time Alicia quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out the car not wanting Alexander to do it . Not because she didn't enjoy the act of chilvary but simply because she didn't want the people around getting the wrong impression about her sweet boss . Alexander gave her an inquisitive look when she did that , but immediately understood her thoughtfulness to the situation here he is her boss not Alexander. He didn't mind them knowing about their casual relationship but it could get really complicated and rumours spread really fast .Her helpe
Chapter Forty Eight Mr White got a hold of himself and took some steps back “ I must apologise, you look like someone I used to know years and years ago . The resemblance is quite scary ”.Aunt Linda stood up too adjusting her glasses “ you know I also thought she looked a awful lot like someone I used to know . But I didn't want to get ahead of myself”.Everyone at the table was throughly confused about what the two of them were raving about , especially Emily what could her Dad and Aunt mean by she looked alot like someone they both used to know .“ Okay Dad and Aunt Linda can we stop making her uncomfortable trust me it could just be a crazy resemblance you know how this things can be . Trust me there's no way you know anyone connected to the likes of her ”.Aunt Linda gave her a cold look that silenced her , and her father just went on looking a Alicia like he had seen a ghost and hadn't heard Emily speak. “ Dear child can you please tell me the name of your parents ?” . Alicia
Chapter Forty NineThe car ride was full of comfortable silence with soft music playing from the radio. Alexander Kings wrestled with himself against asking Alicia to spend the rest of the day with him but he had already demanded a lot from her in the past few days . So he drove to her apartment to drop her off so she could have the rest of the day to herself.Now at the parking lot , he stopped the car feeling quite upset that their time together had come to an end . Alicia felt the same but couldn't voice her thought,“ Thank you so much Alicia for spending a huge chunk of your weekend with me and Alexis . You have no idea what it means to us”.“ I should be the one thanking you and Alexis , you definitely made my weekend. And I'll be happy to spend time with you two whenever just let me know I'll be there ” her response put him at ease and let him know she enjoyed his company as much as he enjoyed hers.They were so close to each other, Alicia bit her lower lip slightly, Alexander c
Chapter FiftyThe weekend passed in a rush like it was running from Monday and Sally was currently on her lunch break driving in Alicia's car to her former place of work to see her ex boss Kalum to inform him about the pregnant which is his .Good thing Alicia's car could drive perfectly on auto pilot because she wasn't in the head space to drive at all , all she had to do was punch in address and in a few minutes it expertly got her to her old office . She noticed a couple of her old colleuges in the parking lot and waited till they had entered their cars driving to away before she got down from the car . She entered the building , saying hi to the friendly receptionist who looked like she was dying to ask her why she left but she didn't have the time to entertain such gossip so she quickly entered the elevator.Finally she approached his office and stilled herself for what was to come, basically expecting the worst she didn't want to tell him anyways . She was only doing this for t
Chapter 99Alicia and Alexander almost made it out of the warehouse then random shots started flying , Alexander pulled Alicia to himself as if to shield her and he noticed the gunshots reduced as though they had an order that he shouldn't be harmed .He cocked his gun , ready to defend at this moment he didn't even care if this is how he'll die he just wanted no harm to come to Alicia . “Alexander, it's me, they are here for let me go , I can't live with myself if anything happens to you because of me ”.Alexander laughed darkly “ I'm not letting go love , get that idea out of your head” at this moment while they were distracted a bullet hit Alicia's arm , her blood quickly spilled out . Horror filled Alexander's eyes and angrily towards them, knocking down the man who had fired the bullet .From where they hid they heard a man shout “ nooooo you just killed my brother . I don't care if we have orders to not kill you . It's personal now ” Alicia heard the man and her heart nea
Chapter 99Alexander was currently enroute to Sally's house to find out if she had any leads at all and could make sense of the situation. He drove feeling frustrated that despite the reward he was yet to get tangible information concerning Alicia .His phone rang , being desperate for any news at all he slowed down on the highway and picked the call from the private number “ yes ?” he said .The voice on the line was clearly altered as it sounded electronic so he couldn't tell if it were a woman or man speaking . The person obviously wanted to protect his identity.“ I have information as to where Alicia is but you have to hurry, they're about to move her from here. We can discuss my payment after you rescue her , I can't reveal my identity yet because I'm part of the team on the kidnap ”.Alexander felt a sharp spark of hope flutter in chest and his heart beat sporadically “ Alright , text me the address I'll be there in minutes”.“ I will , but you'll need back up ”“ Don't worry a
Chapter 97The time is currently 10 pm at night when Alicia quickly sent a text to Sally letting her know she was on her way . She turned the key on the lock to open the door of the car she had been renting and suddenly she felt arms around her .Everything went black , she struggled and tried to kick but to no avail and a thick damp towel was placed over her nose and mouse she perceived a hot acidic smell and her vision went blurry .She vaguely heard a woman's voice , saying “ take her to the hideout” before she finally surrendered to unconsciousness. Meanwhile Sally was worried , pacing tensely through the hallway ,“ babe relax I'm sure she'll get here soon. ”“ It's been 3 hours since her last text , that very unlike Alicia ”Kalum stood up and held her arms in both hands “ well please don't put yourself through this stress it's not good for you or the baby ”.Sally stepped out of his hands “ Babe you don't understand , a few days ago Tristan had warned us that Emily seems to
Chapter 96 Alexander drove fast, almost racing to the restaurant , when he and Alexis had arrived at the airport they greeted them warmly but there was some tension he could sense in the air . It was his sister that pulled him aside and showed him the malicious interview of Mr Smith .He rushed the goodbyes and raced to the restaurant hoping Alicia wouldn't run and would just stay and explain things to him .Driving into the parking lot he vaguely saw her run into a taxi and just before he could turn around his car a police car blocked his path .“ Shit! ” he screamed as the taxi Alicia was in drove away fast escaping his view . An overweight officer stepped out of the vehicle and tapped his window. It took all the self control within Alexander to not zoom away and chase after Alicia.But he couldn't because his daughter was in the car , he didn't want to give her the wrong example or endanger her life . He took a deep breath .“ Daddy are we in trouble ” he turned this see her blue
Chapter 95 Alicia finally arrived home a few minutes past four and much to her surprise Alexander and Alexis were waiting for her at the entrance of the house . “ Hey stranger, ” Alexander said, looking devastatingly handsome . Alicia giggled “ what are you guys doing out here ?”“ Waiting for your of course ” Alexis said excitedly struggling to pull open the door Alicia noticed her struggle “ sweetie move back a bit , I'll open the doors automatically ” “ Okay ” Alicia pressed a button and the doors opened up automatically , her new car was definitely something she had been impressed by the first one Dimitri had gifted her .But this was impressive. It was the latest model of BMW and the scarlet red interior had the best quality leather with a mini fridge, television , snack compartment , makeup compartment and you wouldn't believe a mini ice machine.Alexander had gifted it to her just yesterday after the engagement , she hadn't even had the time to take pictures of it and send
Chapter 94Alicia and Sally were enjoying their lunch; they couldn't make it for brunch and they decided to do lunch instead . Alicia bit into the finger starter sandwich enjoying the spicy chicken that was used to make it .Someone pulled a chair beside them startling them both , Sally and Alicia turned simultaneously to see it was no other but Tristan .“ What the hell are you doing here ” Sally said through her teeth , “ calm down , I'm not here to start any trouble ” he said smirking in an annoying way .“ Tristan, don't make me call security , why are you stalking me ?” He gave a laugh “ Calm down ladies at least hear what I've got to say ”Sally and Alicia exchanged a look then nodded to themselves.“ You have five minutes and nothing more ” Alicia said in the most stern voice she could muster. “ That's enough I just wanted to apologize once more for how I treated you . I'm really sorry and I Know there's no hope of us getting back together but I don't want us to be on bad term
Chapter 93 Alexander drove into the White estate and up to the White mansion, Alexis was playing with her Barbie doll in the beach seat . “ Daddy why are we here , I told you I don't like that woman, her red long nails creep me out ”. She said, speaking of Emily . Alexander turned off the engine and burst out laughing , he tried to keep it under control because he knew it wasn't a good example to laugh at others in front of Alexis . He cleared his throat in a bid to control it “ well sweetie she's not feeling too well and I think we should say hi and cheer her up . And you're too young to understand grown up women's fashion” Alexis blue eyes shot up giving him a childish offended look “ No I'm not , my nanny Priscilla has cute white nails even Alicia has pretty nails but that woman reminds me of maleficent ” Alexander coughed to cover up his laughter “ well sweetheart each man to his own , we can't judge . Now let's get down and say hi to everyone”. Alexander got down from th
Chapter 92The next morning Alicia woke up to see ninety three missed calls from Tristan , she stretched and itched her eyes before hissing in annoyance. Her phone vibrated again and for a half a second she thought it was Tristan and was ready to tell him a piece of her mind but when she picked it up she saw it was Alexander.Her whole demeanor seemed to change and she physically relaxed and picked up the call angling it properly since it's a facetime call . Alexander's beautiful brown eyes stared at her , she could see he was obviously still in bed, his head tousled.“ Hi love ” his deep voice spoke “ Good morning ” Alicia said slightly blushing at the term of endearment he used and the way he spoke her name .“It should be illegal how beautiful you look when you wake up. You're absolutely stunning ”.Alicia giggled at his comment “ you flatter me too much Mr Alexander ”. He arched his brow at her amused acting confused and shocked at her use of his real name earning him another gig
Chapter 91 Alicia flashed the ring showing Sally who looked at it in awe Alicia couldn't believe she was engaged and to be married just next month .“ what the h*** girlll, I don't think I've ever been more happy for you .This is so surreal !” she said hugging her to herself tightly .“ I know Sally and I owe this all to you , you've been with me through thick and thin encouraging me all the way . I don't know what I'd ever do without you ”.“ Please don't make me cry Alicia , you're my best friend in the whole world and no matter what happens we'll always stick together and be there for each other ”.“ Agreed ” Alicia said as they broke apart , “ so Alicia what do you say just you and I order food and chill like we used to as single girls , the only thing different is we can't have some wine ”.“ I'll love that ” Alicia squealed ,“ I'll text Alexander and let him Know , I know he'll be okay with it but still I should inform him ”Sally rolled her eyes “ Alright love bird , call your
