Alexander's Pov Alexander Kings watched Alicia walk away . He saw the way her face fell when he cautioned her about her reputation on social media . He let out an audible sigh , running his fingers through his thick dark hair .He didn't understand why he wanted to take her in his arms and comfort her when she looked at him with those sad eyes but still business is business he can't let his feelings get in the way . More still from the file he read on the woman ,she seemed quiet harmless but there was something in his gut that didn't trust her .Firstly she just seemed to come out of nowhere now she's hanging out with two of the most powerful billionaires and got recommended to work in his office . He feared she was a spy sent by one of his enemies but he had no evidence , he just had to watch her closely. He carried his suitcase exiting the building he decided to drive himself today . Today was a special day , the foster home had finally decided to give him custody of Alexis after
Alicia decided to take another shower before her movie date with Dylan to beat the heat. She stepped under the shower pressing the button that let water come from every point of the bathroom wall . She massaged her hair under the shower letting the cold water beads cool her scalp . She faintly heard her front door open and she reduced the pressure of the water so she could hear better . And she could almost swear she was hearing footsteps.Fear filled her heart. Could it be Tristan,he was never violent but I'm not comfortable with his presence. Did I forget to lock the door? What if it's a stalker or a bugler ? .Of all the days Alicia forgot to hang a robe or towel in the bathroom. “ Shit ” she whispered. The only thing she could wear was her bikini set hanging in the corner. It's better than nothing , she thought to herself . She quickly put on the black two piece and looked for what she could use as a weapon to defend herself. Her eyes scanned the bathroom and she found nothing
Dylan patted her back while she wept . She raised her tear stained face “ I'm sorry I think I stained your shirt with my tears ” . Dylan produced a crisp white handkerchief from his pocket and dabbed at her eyes “ it's okay sweetheart I completely understand , would you still be up for seeing a movie ?we don't have to go you know ”.“ No let's go , I think going out will brighten my mood .” Alicia didn't even care if her face looked red and blotchy; she just wanted to be out of the house . The cinema is just a few blocks from their apartment complex so they decided to take a walk and enjoy the stroll . Dylan held her hands all through the walk , which she appreciated because of the earlier incident of the day with being social media famous .She was on the lookout to notice slick paparazzi taking pictures of them . “ Are you looking for someone? ” Dylan asked . “ Not at all , I was just wondering if we were being photographed ”.Dylan laughed “ it comes with the lifestyle , sorry we
Alicia sighed audibly “ Dylan but just merely hours ago I …” .“ Don't mention that, ” he said, cutting her off , looking into her eyes. “It doesn't matter , can you let it go, it's you and I here at this moment . Let this happen .Alicia nodded slightly in agreement, her throat feeling dry . Dylan gave a slight smile bent his head towards her’s their lips almost touching, Alicia felt light headed in anticipation .His firm but soft lips moved against her gently at first , Alicia let herself relax and kissed him back softly .The kiss quickly heated up and got intense ,she parted her lips giving him access . What surprised Alicia the most was how hard he was kissing her. It felt even more intense than Dimitri's kisses which surprised her because of their personalities.She felt his hands roam all over her body causing her to moan into the kiss which excited Dylan even more . In half a second he lifted her to himself hooking her legs around him and walked them till her back was against
Sally's PovSally Tracy Granger woke up feeling tired , she had worked all night long on the document her boss had asked her to turn in by 10 am this morning. The man was insufferable , she hated his guts and everything about him .He reminded her of that selfish bastard Micheal, her ex boyfriend who nearly ruined her life by selling her off to the mafia in exchange for his drug debt . She'd have never been able to escape if not for her struggling father that sold all he had and paid off the debt .She owed her old man her life and he is the reason she tries so hard at her job because the pay is high , Sally is now able to pay for a house for him and a full time home nurse , she hadn't shared this with even Alicia, her best friend in the whole world . Her father was diagnosed with stage two cancer just last month . She knew Alicia would empty her account to see her father cancer free but she wanted to sort this out herself .Sally Tracy quickly took a shower , she needed to catch
Alicia's PovWork started off for Alicia today as usual , it was currently 10 am and she was counting minutes and seconds to her lunch break. She had so much to talk to Sally about, especially the Paris trip by the weekend although she hadn't accepted it but it was so important to appear not too eager to be billionaires in her journal .The phone in her office rang and she picked it up already knowing who was on the other end of the line .“ sir ?”, “ come immediately to my office. I need you to get a document from the legal department for me and make adjustments ”.“ Yes sir” she stood up to go to his office. I really hope I can finish up on time and maybe he'll let me have an early lunch . Reaching his office before she could even knock the door opened automatically He probably saw me coming down the hallway through the camera . She thought to herself , she stepped into the office and if not that the automatic door had closed she would have turned right back .Seated just across f
Alexander watched Alicia run to her office through the camera he clenched his fists tightly in anger . Who the exactly is this Tristan that he has two ladies in such a position, what do they even see in him ? and why is Emily acting like such a b*tch , why am I even getting so worked up about this , do I have feelings for the girl ?.Emily decided to break the awkward silence in the office “ thank you so much Xander ( which she fondly called him short for Alexander) , I know you only gave Tristan a second chance because of me ”.Alexander cleared his voice slightly so it won't sound so mean and irritated “ That's enough , so long as you deliver .And this is the very last time , do not disappoint me ”“ I won't sir , you won't regret giving me another chance ” . Alexander eyed him wearily from Emily's reaction to seeing Alicia here he was a 100 percent sure Emily wasn't aware Alicia was the reason he got distracted in the first place . The man is a snake ! , Call it petty but Alexand
An hour later , it is time for Alicia and Sally to return back to work . “ So , I'll need to head back. I don't want my boss to think I'm missing or something”.They laughed lightly “ it's fine , I need to head back too. I should have driven here so I could give you a ride in my new baby ”. Sally stood up grabbing her purse “ You owe me big time , give me a hug, my cab is outside already ”.They embraced briefly “ I'll text you girl ” , They went out Alicia waved her goodbye and let out a deep sigh. It was time to return back to her office and face her boss, hopefully his mind hadn't already been poisoned against her . In a few minutes she was at the office complex she entered , taking the elevator to the top floor . Her phone rang , she checked who was calling and answered. “ Dimitri , I haven't heard from you in a minute . “ You know you could have called me too though , I apologize I was caught up with work .”“ Oh I'm sorry , I just figured you might need space ”. He chuckled sa
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
