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 80Alicia laughed as Alexis told her a funny knock knock joke , they were currently laying down in her Barbie themed pink playroom in her tent , Alexander stood in the corner watching them giggle wondering how wonderful it'll be to come home to this everyday.“ Okay girls that's enough , Alexis this is wayy past your bedtime and I don't want you dragging your feet for school tomorrow morning”. He said moving towards them and picking her up .“ Aww don't be a fun sponge ” Alexis said pouting. Alicia stood up following Alexander who was carrying Alexis to bed so he could tuck her to bed so she could sleep. Alicia gasped a bit when she entered Alexis room , it was everything a little girl could dream of with its lilac walls and high white ceilings and white chandelier.Alexander gently laid down a grumbling Alexis , she tucked stray strands behind her ear loving stroking her forehead “ sweetheart it's for your own good , and I promise you Alicia would still be here by tomorrow an
Chapter 81They stared into each other's eyes not knowing how long , Alexander gave a curt laugh ,” I think it's time we get out of here before we get all wrinkled up ” Alicia nodded, he pressed a button and the shower stopped . Stepping out of the shower , Alexander took effort in toweling her body dry gently before wrapping a dry warm one round her body and also his before they left the bathroom . Alicia couldn't really put it in words but this was the most intimate thing she had ever done with a man .Alicia picked a nice white cotton pajamas short and camisole , blow drying her hair quickly to get rid of the dampness before putting it in a messy bun and applying some lip balm . Alexander wore a silk pajama trouser and sat on the huge king side bed looking devastatingly handsome.When she was done prepping for the night , she turned to see him watching her with keen attention which made her very nervous and self conscious. He gave a dangerous dark smirk and patted the space bes
Chapter 82 Alexander and Alicia dropped Alexis off in school, kissing her goodbye , before driving off to his office which wasn't too far from her school . Now at the parking lot , they both came down from the car in a perfect good mood. “ Wow what a happy family ” , Alicia turned her eyes sharply at the sound of Dimitri's voice , he was standing opposite them with an angry grin leaning on his car . “ What are you doing here Dimitri” Alexander's voice thundered from behind Alicia , she had never heard him sound this angry before and it made her worried . Dimitri gave a sadistic laugh as he pushed himself off his car walking towards Alexander like he wanted to do something , Alexander met him half way shifting Alicia gently off their path. “ I didn't think the high and moral Alexander Kings couldn't just want to get into my woman's panties ”. “ You will not refer to her as yours. You got dumped and I'm the new sheriff in town so deal with it ”. Dimitri looked about ready to expl
Chapter 83Sally slid to the ground feeling emotionally drained and tired , she couldn't believe what had just happened . She heard her phone ringing but she didn't have the strength to get it. All she could do was lay on the ground and hope that the woman who just came in wasn't a worthy competitor for Kalum's attention and that she wasn't carrying his baby .That would mean absolutely bad news for her being that Kalum made a vow and promise to marry any woman who got pregnant for him because he didn't want to raise children far from himself . So what if indeed the child the woman was carrying was indeed his .Sally breathed out a sigh of frustration , massaging her temples. Suddenly a maid entered the kitchen. She panicked when she saw Sally lying on the floor “ Ma’ am are you alright , should I call for help so we could take you to the hospital ” .She said scooting down and fanning her vigorously , Sally managed to find her voice and sat up leaning on the wall , she couldn't even
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
