Only You Chapter Twenty Nine
Alexander had been thinking about Sophia's words to him since he had left her house. Everyone knew that his marriage to her would create a merger of both empires but Sophia had indicated that there was something more to it. It seemed to Alexander that she was the only one who would benefit from it and he kept thinking about what it was. What else could she get from being married to him? He wondered."You've been this way for a while now. What is the matter love?" Bella asked him having seen him for the umpteenth time being moody.He was sitting on the little dining chair and his hands were on the round table as he burrowed his brows in worry. Bella sat, facing him and he looked at her."I went to see Sophia some days back for us to reach a compromise. I had offered her a deal in which she lets us be and we will still push through with the merger but she refused. She said that there was more she would gain than just the merger should she marry me and I can't just rest. I'm trying to kn

Alexander wasted no time in leaving the settlement and returning home. He weighed the outcome of that video being leaked and saw that it was not worth the risk of not listening to Sophia. He was hurt that he was leaving Bella but at that point, he had no choice. When he arrived his mansion, Sophia was already there with Claudia. They were talking in the living room when he walked in with his bag."You're back son?" Claudia asked, surprised."Finally!" Sophia said, "I'd like to think that you have realized things and have changed your mind about that Bella, am I right?" she asked, smiling."Yes" Alexander replied and walked away, straight to his room. He hated the fact that he was dancing to Sophia's tunes.Claudia faced Sophia, "Is he serious?" she asked, surprised."I think he is" Sophia said."What did you do?" Claudia asked her."I used my feminine power and got him back to me aunty. He will no longer go back to that Bella of a girl" Sophia said.Claudia smiled. She was happy to he

Bella started thinking of a way out of Sophia's blackmail. Alexander had confessed in details all that had transpired on that fate day his brother died. Alexander and Andre both were attracted to Sophia and started competing for her attention. It started off as a joke, a light and trivial matter and then eventually grew to a serious issue. The once very close brother's became very distant and hated each other. They would fight and make threats against each other. According to Alexander, on that day when his brother had died, Alexander wanted to use his laptop for some work but could not as his laptop had developed some faults. Not minding Andre's disapproval as a result of their enemity, he dashed into his room and took his laptop to use. Unlike Alexander, Andre did not change his password after their fight began so Alexander could still have access to his computer. As Alexander used the system, an email notification popped up and as a result of his curiosity, he opened it to see an e

That night, everyone in the Grande's mansion lost sleep. The pain of Andre's death embraced them once again, freshly as if it had just happened. Felix and Claudia's pain was doubled because the cause of their pain was someone whom they had trusted and wanted to establish a deeper relationship with.Claudia could not believe what she had just heard from her son. Sophia was never interested in the good of her family but rather had an ulterior motive. Sophia was the one responsible for the death of one of her son and now she was blackmailing the other and wanting to have him thrown in prison. Claudia made up her mind that night; she would not let Sophia's plan succeed. Infact, she had decided that instant that the merger would no longer hold. She would not want such a human being become a part of her family.****Telling his parents the truth gave Alexander a huge relief from the guilt of being tagged a murderer. He was very happy and grateful to Bella for her support and encouragement.

Bella heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. She was shocked to see the unexpected visitor standing before her."What are you doing here?" Bella asked her.Sophia, the visitor flashed a smirk on her face."Hello Bella" She greeted."I don't need your greeting. What are you doing here, in my house?" Bella asked harshly."I came to see you" Sophia replied, "I came to congratulate you on your wedding to Alexander. That's next week right?" Sophia said."I thought you've given up already since we didn't hear from you these past weeks. Sophia, If I were you, I'd just leave us alone. Alexander doesn't love you and with your evil deeds and schemes against the Grandes, no one wants you. Just give up already. Look for another ambition to pursue. This one is clearly far from your reach" Bella said.Sophia chuckled, "You know Bella, I really did underestimate you. I thought that you were as dumb as you are poor but it turned out that you're smart. I came here just to tell you this and a

Alexander got home late that night and met his devious wife still awake in their bedroom. She was already in bed, in her night wear. She smirked the moment Alexander walked into the room and paused the activity she was carrying out on her phone to face him."You're back" She said.Alexander did not reply but headed for his walk-in-closet to change his clothes."Did you see her?" Sophia asked again.Alexander stopped just by the door to his closet and turned to face Sophia who was lying on the bed, looking at him."Who?" he asked her."Don't pretend Alex. You and I know that you've never stopped loving that woman. I know that you went to see her" Sophia said."Mind your business, Sophia" Alexander said and reached for the door's handle."This is my business, Alex. You're my husband now and I don't think it is ideal that you go about wanting to rekindle an affair with another woman." Sophia replied."Whatever I do with my life and with my time is absolutely none of your business. If I c

It was time. Everything was set according to their plans. Amor's army-trained men had scouted the location with the help of that same tiny, undetectable drone and the men were able to locate important spots and entry into the building.The building was a fancy bungalow situated somewhere along the borders of the city, quite far from the main town. The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou

The room was silent. It had been that way for about three hours. Everyone was present in Bella's living room waiting for Sophia's call. Jeremy has been gone for more than twelve hours and with no where to start, they were earnestly waiting for the kidnapper to call and place their demands."Why won't she call already?" Bella was angry and getting frustrated. She just paced round the living room."I sware, if anything happens to me son, I'll hunt Sophia down" She cursed angrily."Darling, relax" Amor spoke to her from the sofa where she sat. "That woman will not hurt Jeremy since she wants to get Invicta. Maybe she is trying to make a full proof plan before calling. Let's wait for her call""That's what I am waiting for" Bella said and continued pacing."Why don't you sir down?" Amor asked her"I'm okay this way" Bella replied.Time was gradually passing by and Sophia had not still called. Alexander was seriously holding in his anger. A glance at him and one could see his bloody eyes a

Sophia and her father made the plans for Jeremy's abduction that night before Sophia returned home. According to their plan, they would spend the next day, monitoring every move Bella and her son would make and then the day after, Jeremy would be successfully abducted. This was for them to be very sure before launching any attack and endangering themselves. Sophia said nothing to Alexander after she returned home that night. Alexander also ignored her presence. Things seemed to be drawing to the end. Alexander could see a life without the troubles of Sophia and her father drawing near and Sophia could see the whole of Invicta becoming hers. Two antagonizing plans of which only one can emerge victorious. Alexander held onto the faith that good will always triumph over evil and he strongly believed so.Alexander was thinking, as he laid on the bed. He had not told his parents about what was going on and he knew that he had to tell them. The problem was how to tell them without Sophia's

Amor's men were able to crack the accounts and they sent all the findings to Amor. It was during the weekend get together for the family, with Christine that Amor revealed the findings. The Michaels were in fact, the dangerous drug cartel terrorising the country. That was how they were able to sustain their dead empire. Bella was shocked and immediately forwarded the message to Alexander.*****The Grandes were having dinner when Alexander's phone chimed and he picked up his phone to read the message Bella had sent him. Sophia had her suspicious eyes on him. With the shocked expression that lasted on his face for a split second, Sophia knew that he was up to something. That message definitely had something to do with her. She was sensitive to remove her gaze from Alexander the very moment he wanted to look at her, just after he had finished reading the message. That gesture confirmed her suspicion. Alexander had something against her and she was immediately anxious. The paperwork was

Bella managed asked."I don't know....I think it's a punishment for my wrongs" Amor said.Bella felt very bad. That moment she dropped all her anger and hatred and stood up to sit beside her mother. She gave her a long hug in tears before releasing her."I forgive you mother" Bella said."Thank you sweetheart" Amor said, touching Bella cheek lovingly.After enjoying that affectionate moment, Bella spoke;"I'm sure there's a way to cure this.....this cancer thing. It's just money and I can borrow money from someone....." She quickly looked at her father, then back to her mother, "We'll take you to India, where I hear that they are good in medicine.

Alexander was relaxing in his favourite place, the garden, with some refreshments. The evening was cool and enticing. As he relaxed, he thought of Bella once again, the times they had spent in the garden. It was very beautiful, every moment he had spent with her. He would have her again, he assured himself and took a bite of his snacks.His phone rang and he answered it;"Hey Duke, what do you have for me?" he asked the caller."Nothing much Alex. These accounts you sent me are very very tight. I can't crack them. I've been trying but all seems futile." Duke replied over the phone.That was not the news Alexander wanted to hear."But there's something you can do, definitely" Alexander pleaded"I really need these accounts to be cracked. It's very urgent and very important for me. Surely you must have a way....I.....I'm ready to pay to get it done." Alexander added."Alright Alex. I'll have it sent to a guy I know....and let's see if he can get through it" Duke replied him."Thanks a l

Sophia would not be able to perceive what was going on, till the day she would be fully exposed.Sophia, on the other hand, was thinking about the perfect kidnap plan for Madame Claudia. It was as though Madame Claudia knew and had doubled her security since the merger was signed. It made matters more difficult for Sophia, but not impossible for her. Sophia had made all the necessary arrangements and with full faith, she was assured that the bodyguards of Claudia would be helpless when her own men would attack. All she was waiting for was the papers of attorney and then, she would have Claudia abducted and then get Alexander to give her all of Invicta. ******Alexander had gone to the restaurant that noon with the hope that he would find Bella closi

Gerald did not stop there, he also accompanied her in sourcing for a good building at a good location. They had already been to five different shops that evening and were seated at a cafe to relax and then make a decision."Who knew that shops cost this much" Bella complained with a slight frown on her face as she was staring at the paper containing the quotation for the cost of five different shops."It's very costly because we're buying it" Gerald smiled."Still, it's expensive" Bella said.The waiter dropped their orders, two cups of warm coffee and two plates of doughnuts on the table and left.Gerald drank from his cup of warm coffee and took a doughnut in his hand."So, which one are you picking?" he asked and bite out of his doughnut."I'm drawn to two choices.

"I didn't know that Sophia did something like that." Bella said."She did. Now you know why I had to leave with her." Alexander said.Bella drew in a deep breath and released it slowly."I'm sorry for thinking that you had used me and dumped me. " Bella said with remorse."All these years, I had hated you. I regretted ever knowing you. I cursed you, Alex" Tears formed in Bella's eyes as she spoke."I know. And I understand why you had felt that way. I had left without a trace and it's natural to think that. I would have thought and reacted the same as you did." Alexander said.They were silent for a while."So how has these five years been for you?" Bella asked him."Not
