Alexander's POV“She deserves the best.” I thought, staring at her as she sleeps soundly. I placed a gentle kiss on her head and went into my study room.I have so much work to do now. Threats have been arising from minute conglomerates who think they are something, but can never stand close to the Kings' in terms of fame and affluence. Who do they think they are? I chuckled. I'm sure someone is backing them up. That's why they had the boldness to call us out on the internet, asking if the King's fortune is not founded on blood and lies. “Silly folks.” I laughed.I have laxed in terms of business, focusing majorly on family matters. They used that as an inroute to show themselves. I need to act fast. I thought. But firstly, I have to throw a party in celebration of my wife becoming a CEO.She had told me not to throw a big party, so it's just gonna be me and her with her coworkers.The next morning, Layla got ready for her day: the day she had so much anticipated. She was announced as

Layla's POVWhat is Mr Grant doing here? I wondered, as I stepped out of the car.I had handed over to him one of the mansions my mother willed to me so he could no longer stay in that shabby house.“Do you want to get yourself killed?” I exclaimed, looking at him angrily. I had vowed to keep him safe and happy, because of all his sacrifices and loyalty to my mother.I had gone through my mother's files, through the night, because I couldn't sleep. I was too excited for this day. My mother detailed all of her experiences as the chairwoman of Starlight Entertainment. She gave a list of her competitors and those who stood by her through thick and thin of which Mr Grant was one of them. He moved towards me, his hands trembling.“Layla, you can't enter that car now!” He said, his voice laced with a hint of fear and urgency.It sounded more like a warning to me. Alex stepped out of the car and came to stand by my side.“Who is this man?” He questioned, his gaze full of disgust and anger

Alexander's POV“Is that a gunshot I hear?” Layla panicked.“Be calm,” I pushed her aside.I went into my study room and brought out a small gun in one of my drawers.I pinched my forehead in annoyance. Enough of this bloody shit! I groaned under my breath.I stepped outside, of course after warning Layla not to set a foot outside.I laughed after sighting the intruder. “Oh, it's you. Bitch!” I cursed. I walked towards her, standing in front of her. I glared at her. “Like a mother , like a son.” She was dressed like a whore. Almost naked, with her sensitive parts outside for the work to see. She wore a very short skirt that only covered her bum and a low-neck crop top that revealed her boobs.Disgusting! I exclaimed inwardly.“Alex!” She thundered, pointing a gun at me. “Who do you think you are? Treating my son like a slave?” She glared at me. Her veins popping out like they are about to burst out.“What do you think you are doing?” I looked down at her, my anger rising. “Get your

Layla's POV I rolled to the side of the bed, expecting to touch Alex so he could wrap himself around me but it was empty. Instead I rolled on the floor, hitting my head on the damn floor. I stood up in shame with a hint of anger. “Where is he?” I said, looking around the room but he wasn't there. I decided to go check in his study room so he could explain why he left me alone in the room. I stepped out drowsily, dragging my feet towards his study room when I sighted a figure in the dark. I didn't bother putting on the light because I know my way around the house already having spent up to a year. I hid myself behind one of the pillars. Watching the figure closely. The silhouette is of a man, and I figured it could be Stephen. Why is he roaming suspiciously? I thought. I never liked him, but because he is Alex's cousin I had to put up with him. The way he stares at me like he could ounce on me gives me the creeps. He moved towards Alex's study room and I followed him gently

Alexander's POVAs we settled into our first-class seats, I felt a sense of excitement and luxury. We had the plane to ourselves, except for our personal air hostess, who greeted us with a warm smile. We sat facing each other, sipping our juice and enjoying the quiet intimacy of the moment. I had done my research earlier, and Cape Town was my best option for our vacation. But we had to endure a long journey of 26 hours and 30 minutes, with layovers. It won't be easy but I was ready to make the most of our time in the air, and enjoy every moment of our trip together.I glanced at her and I was pleased to see a smile on her face.

Layla's POVI was enjoying myself, admiring the black and white people as they mixed and talked together. I really want to talk to a black and hear their sweet accent once again.The lights flickered creating a creepy atmosphere.“We are so sorry for the disturbance, people. We will fix it now!” A masculine voice echoed through the microphone.Few minutes later, the lights became stable and I continued my admiration.I remembered when my mother brought me here. I met a young boy of my own age. His dark skin glistened and he was so handsome.I had promised him to come back here for him, but who am I kidding. He was such a sweet kid. We talked and became very close. His father was the photographer in my mother's crew at that time.Where could he be now? I wondered.I smiled, my face turning red as I thought of him.“What's so funny?” Alex whispered and I came back to myself immediately. It's just a crush, I told myself.“Nothing, babe. I just love these people.” I said, and just then a

Alexander's POV“Where do you think you're going, woman!” I slammed. Writhing with rage as I tightened my grip on her hand.Tears welled up in her eyes. “I was just going out for some fresh air.” She stammered.I dragged her back inside the room, slamming the door shut with my feet.“Don't tell me you want to go see that bastard!” I thundered, throwing her on the bed.“No,” she begged. “I couldn't sleep, that was why I decided to go out. I'm sorry, Alex.” She rubbed her palms apologetically, looking sober like a lost kitten.My heart softened. “I will put you to sleep, okay.” I said and she nodded her head, shivering in fear.She lay on the bed and I covered her with the duvet and lay beside her. Cradling her head against my chest, she shut her eyes as I patted her gently.Few minutes later, she dozed off, snoring gently as her breaths fanned my chest.How dare he lay his filthy hands on my wife! He will pay dearly for daring to covet my wife. I don't care if they were childhood swee

Layla's POVI'm now regretting my actions. How could I have been so foolish to think he would understand me?Alex clearly warned me not to leave the room, but I didn't listen.Immediately he left, I had my bath, put on my clothes and went downstairs in search of Damian.I must have been a fool to think we could talk it out like adults.I couldn't sleep well last night, his thoughts were coming to my mind. I truly felt bad for the way Alex treated him yesterday. It wasn't his fault anyway, it was I who made a foolish confession at a young age.Now I have been kidnapped and tied up in an abandoned house. I cried in pain, begging him to release me, but he turned dead ears to my plea. “If you truly love me, Damian, you won't treat me like this.” I cried as he stared at me.He spat on my face. “Don't tell me that! You left me, Layla and I waited patiently for you.”“Are you a fool?” I asked, my anger rising. “How could you trust the words of a little girl? I said them out of impulse. I ne

I wondered, with a smirk on my face. “I know I have.” I replied.Suddenly, one of our own security guards pulled a gun on us“Seriously, Jeff?” I raised an eyebrow. “You're joining the dark side?”Larry disarmed the traitor. “Guess we have a mole.”I glared at the guard. “You're fired. And going to jail.” I spat.Layla clung to my arm, her eyes wide. “Alex, how did this happen?”I smiled reassuringly. “Don't worry, I've got this.”Larry tackled the stranger, hitting his weak spot. The stranger snarled, struggling against Larry's grip. “You'll never be free. We will come for you, Alexander.”I chuckled. “I already have. You're just a pawn. And let them come.

You think the rat's a hero?”Alex nodded. “Definitely.”We shared a laugh.But as we drove away, I turned serious. “Alex, what if he's not the only one?”Alex's expression turned stern. “I'll protect you, Layla. Always.”I leaned into him. “Forever and always,” I whispered.Alex smiled. “Forever and always.”After the kidnapper's

What could be so urgent?As I arrived, Larry greeted me with a worried expression. “Alex, sorry to disturb your evening, but we have a major issue.”“What is it?” I asked, impatience creeping in.“Our servers have been hacked. Client data is at risk.” He replied.I cursed under my breath. “Get our tech team on it. Now.”Just as we began brainstorming solutions, my phone buzzed. An unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Alexander King.” A low, menacing voice replied on the other end.My instincts kicked in. “Who is this?”“You don't need to know. But you'll never see Layla again.” He replied.My heart plummeted. “What have you done with her?”“Let's just say she's...indisposed.” He grinned.Rage coursed through my veins. “Listen, you sick…”The line went dead.“Larry, I need to go!” I shouted, already sprinting back to the lake.Larry's concerned voice faded into the distance. “Alex, wait!”I dialed

Why?”I giggled. “I want to surprise you with a sexy dance for our anniversary.”Alex's face lit up with a bright smile. “That's amazing! But now I have to stop it.”I laughed. “Game on! But don't think you can outdo me.”The next thing, Alex disappeared into the kitchen. I heard strange noises, pots clanging, utensils tapping.“What's going on?” I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.“Surprise!” Alex shouted, emerging with a makeshift drum set.He began drumming, his eyes sparkling with excitement. I couldn't help but laugh.“You're crazy!” I exclaimed.

Alexander's POVTears streamed down my face as I heard Layla's whispering into my ears.“I will stand by you, Alex. Even if you decide to push me away.”My heart melted.I was selfish. I shouldn't have desired a family. It was too much for me to desire happiness with my family.I pretended to sleep, Layla's words echoing in my mind. She deserved better than a life filled with hospital visits and constant worry. But I couldn't bear the thought of losing her.As we arrived home, Layla helped me to my room, her silence a testament to her concern. I knew she must have done research on Hemophilia A, trying to understand the reality we faced.It wasn't as bad as she supposed. I have been taking care of myself since I was young. I let her think I was asleep, but I watched her through slightly opened eyes. Her determination and love were a healing to my soul.The next few days passed in a blur.

Layla's POVI slammed the door shut, my heart racing with anger and concern. Why did Alexander keep secrets from me? What could be so bad that he couldn't share it with me? I paced back and forth in the guest room, trying to calm down.I couldn't believe he thought I would leave him over some illness. Did he really think so little of me? I stopped pacing and took a deep breath. No, Alexander wouldn't think that. There must be more to it.I walked over to the bed and sat down, my mind racing. What could this illness be? Is it contagious? Is that why he's keeping it a secret?Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a faint noise coming from Alexander's room. I got up and walked towards the door, listening closely. It sounded like...shattering glass?My heart skipped a beat. I quickly opened the door and rushed to Alexander's room. “Alexander!” I exclaimed.He was sitting on the bed, his hand bleeding profusely. Glass shards were scattered all around him. I rushed to his side. “Oh my

Had she just abandoned me?Julian and Sophia's laughter filled the air as I slumped on the floor, tears streaming down my face.Layla's betrayal felt like a dagger to my heart.“Give up, friend,” Julian whispered in my ear.Anger boiled within me. I grabbed Julian's neck, my hands tightening around it.“You scumbag!” I growled.Sophia rushed over to stop me, but she was sent flying in the air with just a light kick. “Jackass,” Julian cursed, his voice cracked.“Kill me, you bastard,” he spat.I glared at him, strangling him. His eyes turned red, and his face flushed.“She would have found out anyway,” Julian whispered.“I would have taken the secret to my grave if you hadn't told her!” I growled.Here are the sentences rewritten with simpler grammar:“Leave him alone!” Sophia yelled, crawling towards us. She seemed to have broken some bones because she couldn't stand. “I'll take pictures and you'll be trendi

Layla's POVI watched Alex stride across the room, his eyes locked on a man wearing a black tuxedo. He looks weird in it.“Stay away from Layla,” Alex warned.The ugly man smirked. “Why are you so tense, Alex? I never said I'd hurt your wife.”Alex's jaw clenched. “Don't play games with me, Julian.”I felt a shiver run down my spine.“Alex, meet my associate, Sophia,” Julian said.Who was this Sophia? She looked suspicious.Sophia's eyes locked on Alex. Lust burning in them.“Mr. King, you're more handsome in person.”I felt my inside burn with anger.Alex slapped her hand off. “What do you want?” he demanded.Sophia smiled. “We'll discuss that soon.” She whispered something into Alex's ears that I couldn't catch.As they vanished into the crowd, I rushed to Alex's side. “Who is she?” I asked.Alex's eyes narrowed. “Julian's associate. Don't worry.”But I sensed tension in his voice. “Alex, what's going on?”He hesitated. “Julian's not giving up.”My heart skipped a beat. “What else
