After a few moments, they both took a step back, and Mr. Alex turned to face his daughter. He saw the resemblance to his late wife in her eyes and the curve of her jaw. He spoke with a choked-up voice, saying, "I've always hoped and prayed to see you again my baby". After wiping away her tears, Alexandra turned to face her father. She remarked, "I had no idea you were still alive". It was Mr. Alex's first time of entering the house as he was always in the car whenever he drove Kirklin down. He met all his 7 grandchildren and he was really overwhelmed with joy. His heart was full and he cried uncontrollably. Alexandra's foster parents too cried with him and everyone was very happy about the reunion.He delivered the gifts from Kirklin and the whole family was excited. They ate together and asked Mr. Alex to spend the night with them to which he agreed because he didn't have a family to go to as he had been living all by himself for the past 28 years when he was rescued by a man he ta
As soon as the taxi that drove Kirklin stopped in front of the gate, Keith Jefferson who was in his study room got an alert from the security systems installed in the house that there was someone at the main gate. he checked for who it was via his computer and got the surprise of his life. It was Kirklin Jefferson. He had been receiving updates from his own aides on the great accomplishments Kirklin had been making and he prayed that this visit from his son meant he was finally coming back to his family.Keith tapped his fingertips on the armrest as he sat tensely in his chair. Since his son decided to break away from the family, it had been years since he had last seen him and everyone in the family couldn't help but be concerned about him. He immediately stood up from his chair and walked straight to the main gate to welcome him. He was the only one at home as his wife had escorted their daughter-in-law Ariella Jefferson to her office function. Ariella who is his wife's namesake and
The reconciliation was a beautiful one as all the Jefferson kids flew in from different parts of the world to come and reunite with their brother who had finally decided to come back into their lives. The Jefferson and Jacobson grandparents were exceptionally glad that Kirklin had come back home and it was a happy reunion. The love Kirklin received from his family calmed his emotions and released love back into his life. He had been very bitter, especially after Alexandra's betrayal some years ago. He wasn't a mean person but her deception and the fact that he was in the ICU for months because of her made him hate her so much and his relationship with Beatrice worsened his situation as it finally removed him from his love circle which was his family. Now that he was back with his family, he felt he needed to start a normal life again. He had established 17 new companies in different countries and he decided to hand them over to the Gems Group. Kelsey Jefferson, Ariella Jefferson (K
Everyone returned to their locations and life resumed as normal. Alexandra used the break to refresh and plan her future. Kirklin had told his family of the Morrisons and the kids and they all looked forward to meeting them sometime soonHe traveled to Africa one more time and was determined to meet the busy mum of the 7 kids that he called his. No one had mentioned their dad and he didn't bother to probe further.He planned on spending a week and hoped that he would be able to discuss with the mom of his 7 kids how he wants to relocate back to the US from the Philippines and would want the kids and their family to move to the US as well. He would give them houses and cars and everything they needed to make life beautiful for all of them.He hoped that the kids' mum would agree as her disagreement would mean he would have to be coming to Africa from time to time to meet with the kids. His family had advised him to settle down in marriage and he had been giving it a thought so he plann
As soon as she popped into the garden, she saw a tall figure standing further into the big garden. She had always thought that her family's friend was a middle-aged man like her parents and she didn't know that the so-called man that loved her kids was a young person. She moved closer so he could turn back and look at her because it was dark already.By the time she was drawing close to the man, her instinct told her it wasn't going to be a good meeting. It was in a split second that she sensed that feeling and simultaneously that the man turned around to see who was walking towards him.To Kirklin Jefferson's utter dismay, it was his nightmare, the woman he now hated more than anything in the world; Alexandra Davidson. To him, their breakup was messy and it left him bitter and angry. He felt a mix of emotions: shock, confusion, and a deep sense of irony. The woman he had once despised, the one he had blamed for so much pain and heartache, was now the one person that gave birth to the
Kirklin was pushed outside and left alone. As soon as he got out, he felt empty all over again. His past actions have come to hunt him and he wondered why he ever had an affair with Alexandra. The hatred he had for her intensified and he was determined to frustrate her some more. He called his private lawyer to ensure to turn the lawsuit around to make Alexandra the culprit. How they were going to let that happen wasn’t his problem but he gave the directive anyway and the lawyer assured him that would be done.Kirklin wanted the kids badly but Alexandra would never allow him to have them so he needed to clear her out of his way. After Andy Morris slammed the door, he held his chest and started to breathe heavily as he had not been that angry in many years. His wife immediately rushed to him because she knew he could collapse at any moment. By the time she got to him, his eyes had rolled into his head and he was heading for the floor. Alex Davidson saw this and rushed to his aid imm
Kirklin went to the hospital immediately and requested to meet with the Chief Surgeon to get an update on Mr. Andy Morrison's health. He was told that they had done the first surgery and 3 more would be required. Kirklin contacted doctors in the US and gave them information on Andy Morrison and he was told to bring him for further evaluation.He discussed his plan with Mr. Alex and Mrs. Morrison and they had to put their differences aside so that Andy could be fine. Kirklin immediately requested an air ambulance and the best doctors went with Andy Morrison on the long flight to the US. He explained to Mr. Alex that there was a slight misunderstanding between him and Alexandra which they had reconciled over. Mr. Alex was happy about it but he needed to confirm with his daughter to know if she was fine. He put a call through to Alexandra who informed him that everything between her and Kirklin had been sorted. Alex and Amy got on the flight with Andy Morrison and Kirklin promised to br
As she turned to quickly dash out of the kitchen to be able to catch up with him before he disappeared into his room, her loose top got hooked on the glass cups rack and about 10 expensive glass cups came clinking down. She panicked immediately and unfortunately stepped on a shard. It pierced her foot and blood started to gush out. Alexandra cried out in pain and she hopped on one foot to see if she could still meet up with Kirklin. She suddenly bumped into a hard chest and she staggered back. Kirklin had turned back when he heard the sound of broken glasses in his kitchen. He was horrified that Alexandra broke his expensive kitchenware. As he got to the kitchen door, her frail body jammed his and he irritatingly pushed her back. "Why the hell are you breaking my expensive kitchenware? Are you out of your mind?" He said not even caring about the blood that was sipping out from her leg. Alexandra knew the broken glasses were going to stand as a distraction from what she wanted to as
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
