Aurora who was used to the salesgirls not even recognizing that a human being was around whenever people like her came to the store said to Kirklin "Don't worry baby; one day, we wouldn't need to call them to attend to us... It's going to be their manager that will lick our feet as soon as we step in". She said it because she didn’t want him to feel bad for not being a financially okay guy. Kirklin liked the way she encouraged and believed in him. He thought to himself that if only she knew that luxury stores closed their doors to other billionaires whenever he went shopping. He held her face and gave her a deep french kiss. Everyone around wished they were the ones getting such a deep kiss, but they hated that he wasn’t looking like a guy that had money. This was the same thought of the staff at the restaurant he works and Kirklin’s former colleague who now works for this store had spread the news to her new colleagues. Kirklin picked dresses for Aurora and stayed outside the dres
Kirklin decided to pursue love in the Philippines with the hope of finding the Aurora he loved in his dream. In reality, he couldn’t disguise himself as a poor fellow as he didn’t want the kind of life that he lived in his dream.He made plans to establish a company in the Philippines as he had stopped working for Gems Group. After a month of getting into the country, he bought a house and started making plans for a new company. He couldn’t make considerable progress because he had invited Beatrice to come over as he had a guilty conscience that he would be betraying her if he looked for love in another lady.Beatrice complained about everything he did, and she started to be very controlling. Kirklin who was a very strong-willed man suddenly turned docile. Beatrice controlled everything that he owned to the extent of changing the name on his properties to hers. The only thing she couldn’t do was withdraw the $32 trillion dollars he had remaining in his bank account. Kirklin however al
Kirklin got to hear of Beatrice’s death on the news and he was shocked upon hearing of the events surrounding her death. All along, he had thought she was an innocent girl because he met her as a virgin and he was the one that deflowered her. He was now really stunned that she wasn’t as simple as he thought as she was a member of a mafia gang. He immediately requested a reversal of the $10 million dollars he had sent to her since she was dead and he is no longer responsible for her.Kirklin solely mourned her death for 2 weeks as he liked her very much due to her s3xual innocence and the fact that she accidentally lost her virginity in an unplanned situation to him.He decided to move on with his life and see how he could get back all he had lost business-wise and maybe he could reconcile with his family and make amends if he will be able to prove that he is a changed man.Back in Africa, Alexandra gave birth to identical triplet boys, and she had the support of her foster parents to
The incoming CEO helped to carry the twin girls in his arms to their vehicle outside and he gave all the kids a peck on the cheek. He gave their grandparents a hug and waved at the kids up till their vehicle was out of sight. They had told him that they would be returning to Africa the following morning for the new year celebration.He didn't want to go to his house because it was always a lonely place so he decided to take a taxi to visit a nearby club for the first time to listen to music and get his life's worries out of his mind. He never took alcohol so he just sat in the club to see if there was anything or anyone that would make him happy.As soon as he got into the club to take a seat, the pretty ladies flocked around him offering him different types of glasses of wine but he refused and they all gave up except for their leader who was determined to seduce him such that she could make some money from him and steal his expensive wristwatch that caught her fancy.She persisted a
The following day after the party, Alexandra's foster parents and her kids returned to Africa. She hired a vehicle and escorted them to the airport and waited till their flight departed. The company she worked for had closed for the year so she had about a week to relax before resuming work. She used the time to finish up an online course.As for Kirklin Jefferson, he took over the ownership of a company towards the end of the year and he resumed work even though the majority of the staff were on holiday till the next year. He used the opportunity to meet with the key staff of the company and shared his vision for the company with them.He was beginning to feel vibrant again as he knew that his acquisition of the company was a stepping stone to his recovery. The key staff understood and appreciated his agenda for the organization and they pledged to render their full support and encourage the remaining staff to do the same.Kirklin worked alone all through the New Year holiday going t
As soon as she left the office, she took the lift to be able to get out at once because she was irritated by the way the single ladies were carried away just by the looks of the new boss. She wondered if she would have done the same if she didn't know his true color but she recollected that she didn't do that even when she worked directly with him the first time.She started walking towards the bus stop and her driver friend who was in his driver's uniform ran to catch up with her so they could walk together. They chatted briefly about his sister who is undergoing surgery and both of them hugged afterward as Alexandra encouraged him to be strong and she prayed that his sister would recover soon.It was coincidentally at this time that Kirklin Jefferson passed by them on the road and he looked from the back seat of his car where he was seated to confirm if it was Alexandra. He was shocked to see her in the Philippines and not disappointed that she was still flirting around with men as
Alexandra continued in her clerk position as well as her online service job. She began getting a lot of clients on the digital platform and could still send money to Africa for her family's upkeep. She retained her job as a clerk because she needed to still get the salary pending the time they would ask her to go. She felt she didn't have any dignity to maintain in the company again so it wasn't necessary for her to quit out of disgrace.Alexandra encouraged her low-level colleagues in her redeployed office to acquire some certifications to be able to make career progress. Afterwards. a number of them started to get good jobs after a few weeks and they resigned from the company. She was the only one remaining as she couldn't get a job because no one would employ her. New clerks who didn't know about her were employed and she was made to report to them. Those newly employed staff maltreated Alexandra and talked rudely to her.About 3 months into the new year, Alexandra noticed some cha
She got back into the conference room with the cleaning materials. As soon as she got to Kirklin's side, it was as if the babies in her womb kicked against his action toward their mum. They kicked so much and moved around quickly. She forced herself to clean up quickly and then served the tea afterward. Kirklin had his eyes on her as she did all that and immediately after the meeting, he asked the manager to give her a letter of termination of appointment.Alexandra had hoped she would be able to get her terminal benefits if she tendered her resignation but this termination of appointment meant she would only get that month's salary; not even a maternity leave bonus. She cried so much upon receiving the letter and the other clerks made fun of her. It was only the drivers that came and shut them up. All the drivers contributed a financial token and handed it over to Alexandra who was very grateful for their act of kindness. She knew she had nothing to lose again so she decided to brea
Alexandra and Kirklin decided to let bygone be bygone and start their marriage on a clean sheet. Kirklin was grateful that she had the heart to still forgive him despite all he did to her. He promised to stay by her side and be the best husband to her till death do them part. He took her to his parent's house that evening and Keith and Kelsey were happy that he had decided to turn over a new leaf and treat his wife rightly. Kirklin called Samantha after they got back to their house to inform her that he wasn't interested in their affair anymore and warned her he would get the police involved if she made any attempt to come near him. Samantha was heartbroken by the call and she knew that was the end to the money she was collecting from Kirklin. She decided to focus on her other clients to siphon money from them. Kirklin was too ashamed of himself so he needed to ensure Alexandra got her health and good looks back. He took her on a one-month honeymoon to Hawaii where both of them hope
On his last attempt at checking the presidential suites, he knocked on the door of the last suite and there was no response. By this time, the crew had deployed the rescue boats and had started moving passengers into them based on levels of vulnerability.Kirklin banged on the door several times and he suspected Alexandra must be inside as the other 9 suites had other occupants.He dashed off to a tool room that was nearby and he got an axe which he used to successfully break open the door. Alexandra was sleeping beautifully under the duvet and Kirklin shouted her name which made her jump. She was at first annoyed as to why he was on the cruise, and he had forcefully come into her room.“There’s an emergency sweetheart… People are being evacuated…. Come with me now” he said hurriedly.She was so scared that she didn’t know what to do and the ship appeared to have tilted its side. Kirklin asked her to put on her pair of jeans immediately and a coat so as to keep warm a little. He hande
Kirklin regretted how he had caused their beautiful love affair that started as a CEO-Assistant relationship to deteriorate to the extent that he assaulted, abused, and victimized her. He hated himself for all his actions, but he had to sort Alexandra out first before he would think of himself. Alexandra cried so much and became very tired. Kirklin carried her to sit on the sofa and put her head on his chest so she could let out her tears. She narrated how she had attempted suicide and Kirklin pleaded with her never to think of suicide as an option to get out of a messy situation. “Sweetheart, suicide is not an option when you are in trouble. Think of what could happen positively the next minute you are gone. Think of the sorrow you would cause your loved ones after you are gone. I know life could be hard at times but there is always light at the end of every tunnel. All that is required is to hold on just one more time. I’m glad that you were able to speak with your foster parents
Kirklin hugged her and said “Babes, please forget all that happened and let’s start afresh, can we?”. He asked with a puppy face that he hadn’t made in years. Alexandra looked away as she couldn’t answer him because he had deeply injured her self-esteem, deprived her of a good life, and victimised her. “It’s not as easy as you think, Kirklin… I’m the one that went through the awful things and it’s difficult to live with the same man that caused my heartache” she replied. “I understand Xandra, I will not force you but please withdraw the divorce and let us concentrate on building our lives around these kids first, please… Now that they’ve started to have a balanced life, let’s not disrupt it with our marital issues”. He pleaded. Alexandra’s whole existence was for her kids as they were the priority she wouldn’t trade for anything. She said to him “Kirklin, now that you are the father of some of my babies, I would want you to be a part of their lives because it has always been my in
Kirklin got up, threw a fist in the air, and sat back on the bed. He didn’t understand how he got himself into this huge mess. “How can I convince Xandra that I’m sorry and let her know I won’t repeat any of those behaviors again?” He thought. “The poor girl cannot even trust or love you anymore, d*ckhead!” He exclaimed to himself as he smacked his forehead. He brought the bracelet out from his pocket and opened the drawer that Alexandra had brought it out from in order to return it. As he opened the drawer, he saw a very familiar item; his executive pen that had gone missing some years ago. He was confused over why it was in Alexandra’s drawer as he had never used that bedroom for anything. “This pen got missing at the hotel in Paris if I’m not mistaken?” he thought. Suddenly the door opened and he looked back. It was Alexandra who had come to pick up her things as she was ready to leave his house for good and stay with her parents-in-law pending the finalization of their divorce
Kirklin suddenly came to his senses as soon as he saw the original bracelet. He shouted repeatedly “Ohhh my goodness… Ohh my goodness…. Oh my goodn… {he then burst into tears at the revelation}. He continued to bawl uncontrollably as he recalled all that have happened over the years that he was blinded to. *** He just realized that it was Alexandra whom he accidentally took her first time at the restroom in Paris, and she was the one he gave the bracelet *** *** It just occurred to him that the accidental pregnancy that caused the turmoil in their relationship was his *** ***He thought, as he continued to cry upon realizing that the twin girls Abrielle and Annabelle are his biological children ***. This particular thought made him cry a lot in regret of his actions. *** “So, Alexandra has been innocent all these while and I messed up her life and mine as well”. He thought. *** *** If only he had been patient enough for her to explain herself on that day at the hospital, they cou
As Alexandra turned back to ask Kirklin about the bracelet, she saw him looking dejected and sad. “Could he be truly sorry?” She thought to herself but she soon shoved off the feeling as he didn’t deserve her empathy and she further determined in her heart to remain focused on their divorce. Kirklin, I never meant to intrude into your private life and I have never taken any of your things before. But there was a day I needed some money to go to the hospital and you wouldn’t give me any so I came here to check if I could find any amount to take me to the hospital but I didn’t see any money so I left.Kirklin continued to look at her calmly as she spoke. “I checked that last drawer and saw 2 bottles of perfume and a bracelet. Where did you buy the bracelet?” she asked. Kirklin didn’t understand what she meant at first as he appeared lost. He furrowed his eyebrow and said, “The bracelet?” “Yes, can I go and bring it out,” she asked. “Sure,” Kirklin said as he stretched out his hand
“Same with me” Alexandra cuts in. “But there was no how you could father another man’s child and you wouldn’t be able to trust me again due to what happened. By the way, you’ve been saying I almost made you lose your life and left you unconscious for months because of the feelings you had for me. Do you know I was the one that called the emergency service for help when I saw you unresponsive in your car?”“You did whaaat! Exclaimed Kirklin.“Yes, I banged on your car door consistently to get you up and I got drenched in the heavy rain with my suitcases. You were able to control your car to open and you were lucky enough that the ambulance arrived at the nick of time. Kirklin, I allowed every ill feeling we had during the day pass because I needed you to be alive and have a good life even if it would be without me. Unfortunately, you came back to life to take my own life…. That same night, I asked the front desk personnel if I could see the man that was just brought in whom I had calle
Alexandra looked at him and said “Sir, I think it’s rather late for any compromise. It’s okay if we talked about all that happened but it won’t change my mind cos you have completely ruined my life over the fact that I was unknowingly pregnant for someone else while in a relationship with you…. Kirklin, I lost my virginity accidentally to a stranger and I didn’t know that I was pregnant as a result of the mistake. You and I started an affair a few days after the act and I didn’t know that I was pregnant, else I wouldn’t have agreed to be your girlfriend. If you remember clearly on the Saturday meeting that you fixed…... {sniffs back tears} …I was really sad and you wanted to know what was wrong with me but I was not comfortable divulging it to you then. I was devastated by the mistake I made that led to me losing my virginity. We started dating a few days later and by this time, you had brought so much joy to me that I completely forgot about the horrible event which made me very sad
