Xavier was pacing to and fro in anxiety as he waited for Alex to come back from wherever he went. He stood outside the conference room waiting patiently. He groaned when the supposing adults in the conference room were making noises like wild animals.

He couldn't blame them though. They were agitated by the huge turnaround in the company. Even their investors were there. They were demanding an explanation else they'll withdraw their shares and probably sue them. They were literally threatening them.

"Wait till Alex gets back. I'll watch you eat those words back" Xavier had said earlier on when the investors and shareholders threatened to sue the company. But they didn't care about what Alex would do to them.

"Alex, where are you?" Xavier groaned again. The situation worsening by the minute. The media are also outside waiting to devour them in an attempt to seek answers.

Alex smirked and got up moving away from him.He sat down on a seat and looked at Mr Lewis who was crying helplessly like a baby. "Untie him" Alex ordered, his eyes not leaving Mr Lewis. He was untie and water was suddenly splashed on his face. He used his other hand which wasn't bloody to wipe his wet face. His gaze went to his bloody hand. He felt nauseous but the feeling was replaced with fear the moment he looked up and saw Alex pointing a gun at him."Ple.... Please... Don't kill me.. spare me please" he pleaded in fear but Alex hand didn't drop his hand. Rather he smirked." Why don't you go on your knees and beg me. I may reconsider" he said nonchalantly.Mr Lewis immediately went on his knees. As a proud man, he would never bow down to anyone but this is no longer a matter of his pride and ego, it's a matter of his life. He doesn't want to die. At least not yet.He crawled closer to Alex and held his l

    "No.. leave me....Alex!!" She yelled but it didn't change anything as they continued to drag her away. Soon, her yells couldn't be heard, only the slamming of the iron door of the panic room from the basement."Alex, what are you doing?" Xavier whispered to him in confusion. He didn't know about the truth about Lisa yet. And neither did Levi as he was equally confused on why Alex would lock up his wife."Get back to work" Alex ordered and took his sister up the stairs leaving Xavier question and curiosity hanging.He took her to her room and made her sit on the bed. He went to her mini fridge and grabbed an ice pack. He placed it gently on her red and swollen cheeks.

    "Are you sure this would work?" Xavier asked skeptically after Alex told him what to do about the situation of the company so that it won't get out of hand. "Since when did you start doubting me?" Alex hoarse voice asked. Xavier chuckled nervously at his question.Xavier has never for once doubt Alex's plans or words. He had always had complete trust and faith in him. Probably because Alex always takes time to think about his plans thoroughly before carrying out. But considering what just happened to Alex last night, Xavier wasn't too sure he was in his right frame of mind when he came up with the plans."Am not doubting you but if the media and the world ever finds out the truth, it would be a disaster for us" Xavier reasoned while scratching the back of his head."Umm" Alex hummed and sat down. They were in his office discussing the possible solution. "You are right but who's going to tell them?. Only you and I knows this plan and you'll carry it out in secret. Make sure you're not
