Lisa looked at him carefully as he made the phone call. His eyes darkened by the minute making Lisa's heart thump in fear.The call disconnected and he looked at Lisa. She couldn't read his face. He looked somewhat angry but she couldn't tell."What's wrong Alex?" Lisa asked worriedly. Alex stared at her without saying a word, making her fears increase with each ticking second."We have to go now!" He finally said in a deep husky voice. Lisa looked at him confusedly."What why?" She asked but he ignored her question. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the wardrobe. "Change into something more comfortable. We are leaving now. Don't bother packing your clothes" he said only and left the room leaving Lisa speechless.Nevertheless, she wore his shirt and shorts and came out. Gabriel informed Lisa that Alex was in the car so she went there to meet him. He was already in the car quite focused on his phone with a frown on his head looking disturbed.Lisa wondered what was wrong but she d
Alex burned in rage. The pictures and voice note resounded in his ears. All he felt was bloodlust and anger. He desperately wanted to grab someone and squeeze their neck so tight that it separates from the body.But more than anger, he felt betrayed and deceived. That was one thing he hated the most. Betrayal and deceit. No one who has ever betrayed him was spared.He managed to control himself. He needed to find out the real truth before jumping to a conclusion. The voice note sender must have sent it to make him upset. And make him lose focus. He needed to find out the real truth.He quickly grabbed his phone and left the office."Sir, sir" Diego called after him but he ignored him and went outside. He got to one of his cars parked in the company parking lots. A driver came to him almost immediately."Sir, are you going somewhere?" The driver asked."The keys," he asked instead ignoring the question.The driver immediately handed the keys to him and he got in and drove to the gates.
"She's...she's...your wife. She's the one that you married and not Lia." Her words struck Alex directly in his heart. He didn't know what to feel anymore. Anger, hatred, or sadness for being betrayed and deceived."I tried to stop her. I promise you... I tried.. but she was adamant about getting married to you. She was jealous of Lia and ... And... That's why she killed her. " Mrs Williams said and broke down in tears. She cried so hard and pitifully. Alex folded his fist. His eyes looked distant but anger could be read on his face."She killed my daughter. My lovely daughter. I never knew I birthed an evil daughter. She had no ...remorse when...when she killed ...her own sister. She was greedy for more wealth. She wanted to be your...wife..and not Lia" she cried even more."As if having Lia raped wasn't enough, she poisoned her. She killed her -......" "What?" Alex snapped his eyes to her. He thought he didn't hear her well or that his ears were malfunctioning."You heard me. Dur
BEWARE: This chapter contains violence. skip if not comfortable. thank you★★MB COMPANY★★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.As if God had heard his pra
"Please forgive me!!" Mr Lewis yelled as blood gushed out from his hand. 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
"You killed your own sister" his deep voice bellowed in the room. She could literally feel her legs shaking like a jellyfish.Tears welled more in her eyes. She definitely didn't expect him to find out the truth so soon but he did. The way he stared at her wasn't the way he did this morning. All the love and affection she saw in his eyes this morning were all gone. There was no love in his eyes anymore. Just pure hatred.... hatred for Lisa.He walked towards her slowly. She wanted to move away from him but she couldn't bring her legs to move. They were literally rooted to the ground. Somehow, she was sad that he believed she's a murdered just like others did. Why wouldn't he believe? She had nothing to prove her innocence.Lisa could feel life leaving her each time he took a step forward to her. His eyes getting redder by the minutes. So many emotions swarm in them. Hatred...anger... darkness... anything and everything bad making Lisa even more afraid. She suddenly wished she was dr
"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. Cecelia winced in pain as she looked at her brother.His eyes were distant and his lips set in a thin and firm line. His jawline were firm. He looked angry and upset but CeCelia couldn't tell since his face was unfathomable."Alex" she called out to him softly. She reached out her hand and caress his cheeks. "Am sorry" s
"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
