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 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 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
What do you mean? you're breaking up with me !?” Alicia stood in front of her fiance Tristan with blue eyes full of tears .“ I can't continue this relationship anymore , you don't just fit my class and status in the society . you're not the woman I thought I'd spend my life with ”Alica watched Tristain as he stared at her passively and indifferently , she couldn't believe what he was saying , her voice broke as she spoke.“ Tristain we have being together for 7 years , I've given you 7 good years of my life , I've supported you ,I dropped out of college to work and support you with your degree , everything I've done since I've met you is to show you I love and support you”“ Look you'll be well compensated , I know the sacrifices you've made on my behalf but I simply cannot settle for less just because your a nice girl and you love me” Alicia felt like her legs couldn't hold anymore she shakly walked to the black leather couch and sat down .She heard Tritain get up from his chai
Alicia entered the apartment and collapsed on the floor .What was to become of her life now how would she start all over ?She held her chest as she felt her throat go dry showing she was about to hyperventilate and could possibly pass out .She stood up and looked into the kitchen and sighted the fridge. She rushed towards it and grabbed a cold bottle of water , hurriedly drank and made her way to the bed.Alicia passed out from emotional fatigue.Alicia woke up wishing the events of earlier today was but a dream , but the strange bed and room told her otherwise. As she sat up she had to hold her head she had a splitting headache she needed Tylenol .Getting up , she walked to the living room and found her purse on the ground unzipping it she saw the check and fresh tears filled her eyes , how can he abandon me after all these years and dismiss me with a check like I'm some cheap prostitute being paid off .Locating the Tylenol she took a pill , just then her phone rang . Her heart
It had been a week since her break up with Tristan and Alicia was sick and tired of just lying around .She was going to start an operation to make Tritan pay and regret treating her the way he did .She couldn't even go online anymore. Tristan and Emily were all over social media , they were even interviewed by Vogue magazine to tell their love story .Sally is right. I can't just lie around all day and feel sorry for myself. I need to get it together. Else I just prove to Tristan that he made the right decision by dumping me.Alicia walked briskly to the supermarket down the street. It was a really nice and busy area and she spotted a couple of exotic cars on the road . The perfect place to meet the perfect man for her scheme .But first she needs a bright pink journal to lay down her plan , she'll call the scheme how to bag a billionaire . A simply rich dude wouldn't do , she needed a man that Tristan could only dream of becoming.She would need a total remake over too. Going back
Alicia heard a knock on her door must be Sally they were supposed to go shopping today and the club later .She snapped the book shut and ran to the door and let Sally in ..“ why does this room have the sickening smell of Tristan ?” Sally gave her an inquisitive look.“ How can you tell he was here? ”“ Cause it smells of desperation and over use of cologne”“ I got back from the bank and found him here , apparently he has a key . He came to warn me not to talk to the press about him and our relationship”Sally huffed “As if ! Oh please he needs to get over himself the heck does he think he is ” “ First in tomorrow we're changing the locks , were you able to deposit the check ”“ Yes as soon as they saw the amount I got treated alot differently I'm talking sweet tea and cookies ” they laughed . Alicia grabbed her purse a waved a black Platinum card.“ Yassss girl ! , Time to go shopping” she jumped up and squealed like a little girl .They headed to the hair saloon , a high end one
“ So how did it go ?” Sally excitedly asked . Alicia eyed her wearily “pretty random interaction, I saw someone I met at the apartment today ”“ Huh ?” Sally screamed over the music which blared loudly“ At this point I'm ready to leave and go home ”. The attendant from earlier appeared once more , “ there is a driver outside waiting to take you home ma'am”. Was the man eaves dropping ?.“ Ermm thanks but I'll rather find my way home ”. Panic set in the eyes of the attendant“ ma'am this is my bosses order and he doesn't take kindly to unfulfilled duties ”.Alicia wanted to ignore the guy but she understood what it was like dealing with a difficult boss . “ I'll be outside in a minute ” His body language immediately become at ease . “ Okay ma'am”. She turned to Sally “ let's go ”. Sally made to move but her steps were shaky .Alicia moved to help her “ how could you drink yourself to this state woman ” she rolled her eyes at her “ I'm …nott not..drunk !”.“Sure you aren't ”Getting o
