Chapter 72 Alexander got home from work by eight which was later than he usually would but after what he let happen today he felt guilty and needed to distract himself from his thoughts and diving into work was the perfect distraction. He drove into his estate , and was suddenly so mad at himself he had come on too strong and now he might have messed up their whole relationship giving into his passionate feelings . He parked his car , his Butler appeared outside walking towards him Alexis running closely behind him .“ Easy honey” he said as she flew into his open arm , all his anger towards himself and the stress from the day instantly disappearing giving him clarity of mind . “ Daddy, you got back home late today , I was getting worried already. " I tried calling your work phone but I got no response”.Alexander felt bad for leaving her all by herself for a long time today , his phone had been on silent and he didn't want any distractions which was a very wrong move because what
Chapter 73Alexander felt like maybe he was having a weird fever induced dream , but he knew this was real. Alicia really came to his place and she was currently in his arms . He felt the nagging feeling that something was wrong with her but still he didn't want to ruin the moment by incessantly asking about it. Alexander lost track of how long they stood just holding each other enjoying their warmth , Alicia finally raised her head from his chest . “ Can I get a drink, maybe some wine ” , “ yes of course , would you want us to stay here or the living room ”.Alicia was still very much under the influence of alcohol but being in his arms felt like the perfect high she had been looking for all evening. She asked for the wine because of how dry her throat felt seeing him shirtless just wearing pants . Feeling bold she finally responded , “ Can we go to your room instead I think I'll want to lie down and cuddle please I don't want to sleep alone tonight ” . Alexander tipped her chin
Chapter 74 “ Nothing Alexander , I just …” , he sat up pulling her to himself . “ Please talk to me, don't shut me out , I can't take it ” . Alicia took a deep breath “ I'm just wondering about what happened earlier and if that was a heat of the moment thing”. Alexander pulled her close, surprising her by kissing her , “ does this feel like a heat of the moment thing ,Alicia I really like you in fact I would have said love but I don't want to scare you away I know you're in a relationship and I'm your boss . But I can't help how I feel about you , I'm sorry about what happened in the car l know it must have made you feel uncomfortable”.Alicia stopped the flow of his words by kissing him passionately , she felt like maybe the alcohol was making her hear things. Did the most wanted bachelor just say he loves her ? Or this was a drunken hallucination. She kissed him with all the passion she felt in her heart and he responded with equal fervor understanding the language she was speakin
Chapter 75Alexander's car pulled out of the estate and Alicia watched his car drive away to the office wondering what kind of crazy life she was now living . They had decided she'd take two days off. He had insisted on more but she didn't want to take undue advantage. The goals she had today was to return the car Dimitri had gifted her , get a new car and talk to Sally about what's going on. Hopefully she could help her make sense of everything that was going on . She sighted her clothes neatly folded on the table , and decided she'll take a shower when she gets back home .Alicia and Alexander decided she shouldn't see Alexis this morning , they didn't want to give her a weird experience or impression . She put on her clothes quickly , as she left the room she met a maid bringing up breakfast to her . “ Excuse me ma'am I was told to bring you breakfast”. “ I'm already in a rush , I don't want you to get into trouble by me not eating it so how about you pack it up and bring it to m
Chapter 76Alicia decided to go back to her apartment after being at Sally's place for hours. She decided it was time to go back to her apartment . As she neared her apartment she realized what Sally said was actually the truth , she didn't need to return the car by the way it was an Express gift .Parking at the parking lot , she came down from her car only to be harassed by a flood of paparazzi “ Alicia so we heard Dimitri cheated on you with a hot Italian model ” , one pointing a mic directly at her face . “ Alicia, would that be why you were seen at the Alexander Kings mansion at odd hours last night? Our source said you spent the night there ?” amidst the array of questions that one in particular stopped her cold . Where the heck did this man get that information from , was she being followed yesterday? No ! She thought to herself but again she wouldn't have known as she was under the influence of alcohol. ‘ shit ’ she muttered trying to weave her way through the reporters .
Chapter 77Alexander got to Alicia's house in a matter of minutes , since the whole Martha incident with her he had become very cautious about who knows her whereabouts and the likes . Alicia stuffed the last gown into her bag when she heard her phone vibrate , she picked up her cellphone and it saw it was Alexander calling her he must be outside waiting already. “ Hi ” , “ I'm at the parking lot waiting for you , would you need me to come up and help you ?”.“ No, thanks for the offer though . I'll be down in a minute” she carried the bag , making sure her appliances were turned off for the last time before turning to leave then locking the door securely behind her .Alicia saw a strange man run down the stairs when she opened her door suddenly , she immediately had a sickening feeling that maybe he had been scouting the area for a not so honorable reason. She immediately ran to the elevator afraid he'd come back up as she was the only one in the hallway.Once down , she had to sto
Chapter 78 It had been almost five days since Alicia had been in Santorini enjoying her vacation initially it was to last about three , four days but Alexander inisited she stayed in Santorini because he wasn't done with the investigation .Alicia lay near on a soft leather couch on the clear blue water enjoying the beautiful view , the whole talk on the media had died down and she took Sally's advice and took pictures of her vacation and sent them to her social media manager. Sally had been shocked when she had told her she was in a different country but she understood why she had to leave without informing her and asked her to have fun . Alicia sighed audibly , enjoying her sun bath , her phone vibrated on the stool next to her .She picked it up , and saw it was Alexander Kings calling which made her smile to herself. “ Hello ” she said . “ Hey , someone sounds excited ” he said chuckling , “ I see you're enjoying your vacation ”. “ Yes I really am , I'm currently sunbathing ne
Chapter 79Now in the restaurant , Emily and Tristan had ordered their meal , Emily was forking her spaghetti around when she got an anonymous text from a strange number which read . ‘ got caught Snooping around outside Alicia's apartment, it's her boss Alexander Kings that went to great lengths to make sure I was caught . I got out because I lied. I was only there to take pictures though I have a restraining order and would have to pay for trespass to her privacy and property. I didn't rat you out YOU OWE ME ’She immediately lost her appetite , and broke out in a cold sweat thinking , why the h*** was Alexander acting so crazy about Alicia , she blinked back angry tears away not wanting Tristan to notice how upset she was .Alicia basically came to steal her life , her father's love and inheritance first and now it was the man of her dreams Alexander Kings. In less than six months of knowing him she had him already wrapped around her little finger .“ Are you okay ?” Tristan said
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
