CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT

SALLY

Tears flowed freely down my eyes as I watched Alex, still in his unconscious state. I was the reason he ended up this way. I knew that he was trying to save me from the accident, which would have affected me instead.

Alex didn't deserve to pay for it instead. I wondered why he ran into the truck and saved my life. Why didn't he just let me face whatever consequences I would have been faced with if I got hit instead.

Who would have just stayed back and watched. Who knows? If he didn't interfere, a miracle would have saved me instead.

I kept wiping my tears, yet they wouldn't stop falling. The door opened, and James walked into the hospital.

Seeing James annoyed me, but of course, I had to force a smile that ended up coming out very fake.

"Sally," James called with worry all over his face as he rushed to me.

He opened his arms widely, and I hugged him tightly, wrapping my arms securely around him. I placed my head on his stomach, as I didn't bother to s

    CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE SALLYThe door opened slowly, making some cracked sound. I lifted my head to face the door. My head had been bowed that way throughout the night. I wasn't sure if I slept off at some point or not. But I knew for a fact that I wasn't fully conscious before the door opened. The sound of the door getting opened was what brought me fully back to life. Two police officers walked in with the doctor. I stood up from my sitting position and greeted them. The officers went ahead to check Alex while taking note of his condition. A nurse was with them, and she spoke to them in whispers. "Sally," the doctor scolded as he approached me. I shut my eyes tightly and opened it again. He placed his hand on my shoulder and stared at me from my head down to my toe and up to my head again. He took his hands off my shoulders and shook his head. "You're not doing yourself any good by acting this way, Sally."I sniffled in and fidgeted with my fingers. "You should take a break, to

    CHAPTER NINETY ALEXANDER I slowly opened my eyes as I felt my whole body feeling weak and heavy. I tried to take in my environment, but my vision was still a bit blurry. I felt pain all over, and it felt like I had been sleeping for a very long time. My vision became clearer as I widened my eyes, and I blinked continuously until it was clear enough. I looked around and noticed that I was in a hospital. I began to wonder why I was there. Did I get into a fight with anyone? My thoughts wandered until I suddenly remembered the accident, causing me to gasp lightly as my heart sank into my stomach. That was when I heard a sound and moved my eyes to the window side. I saw the shoe of a woman, and my hopes lifted as I saw her. I thought it was Sally. I slowly lifted my head to meet the face of the woman who also heard me gasp and was now turning around to face me. Her eyes widened in surprise, and a smile curved out of her lips at the same time when she saw that it was me. "I'll call

    CHAPTER NINETY ONESALLYI wondered why Mr Grande was so rude to Mrs James. I knew the two families were in a competition for power, but that wasn't enough reason for him to react that way. Well, Mr. Grande was a terrible person, so it was normal for him to do terrible things. "I just came to...""You don't have to be here, Diane," he said to her harshly. "Your husband and your son, James, needs you better. Go to them and stay away from me and my family.""But..""No buts!" Grande lifted his hands in the air. "You should have appreciated my presence first," she said sadly. "What is wrong with me coming to pay a visit to...""Don't you dare!" Grande vibrated. Diana turned to Alex with a pleading glare. She was obviously expecting him to speak in her favour or plead with his dad to let her stay. I also stared at him expectantly. "You heard my dad," Alex said in a tone that was rather too calm. "I think it would be best if you'd leave."She nodded, inhaled sharply, and walked away,

My dad also climbed down from his car and tried to hold me. "I can do it," Sally insisted. "Let me hold my son," my dad argued. She stared at him and forced a smile. "I promise you, I can take care of my husband."My dad stayed back outside as his phone began to ring, while Sally and I continued. When we entered the sitting room, Beverly rushed towards us with her arms spread open. Sally gently pulled me back and obstructed Beverly from hugging me, which made me chuckle lightly."Why haven't you moved?" I asked her. "I do not like the house that you rented. I just want to give birth to my baby in a comfortable environment, I'd leave after I give birth."Sally pulled me away from Beverly and led me upstairs. We walked into my room together, and while Sally went to instruct the maids on what to make for me

    CHAPTER NINETY THREESALLY When Alex asked me to take the documents, I didn't think too much about it before asking him to just have it. I knew he needed to do what was right, and I trusted him to be able to do it alone. "Why?" Alex asked me. "I only want to focus on your father's defamation against my company."Alex smiled and nodded his head. I could tell that he was proud of me and what I was doing for the sake of my company and my family. "It's fine," Alex agreed with me and put the documents away. He placed them in a drawer, and I sat beside him. I picked up the glass of juice, which I had earlier placed on the table, and began to feed him."You look so innocent when you take care of me," Alex teased me. "No one would ever know that you are pretending so hard not to like me."I stared at Clinton, whose head was buried in his phone. I knew he was pretending not to hear us when, in fact, he could hear us very clearly. "When you decided to die for my sins," I teased him back. "

I kept lifting my wrist, turning it around and checking what the time was. He was three minutes late to the agreed time. I knew I had come earlier, but once it was the agreed time, I began to check my wrist over and over again. I turned my wrist around, and when I checked for the umpteenth time and lifted my head, I saw him walking into the restaurant. I sighed deeply asbi stretched out on my seat. He walked towards me, and we quickly exchanged handshakes before he sat down on the chair opposite me. We began to talk about ways to keep me out of jail. He talked about pulling some strings to prevent me from being found guilty in court for the scandal case. I didn't quit understand what he planned to do, and how he planned to pull this strings, but I decided to let him do his job since I knew it too well that he was good at wha

I heard a slight knock on the door and lifted my head from the computer. "Come in," I said, even though it barely came out as a whisper. The door opened slowly, and Alicia walked into my office. "Ma'am," she called as she closed the distance between us. "Alicia," I called her with my brows furrowed in confusion. Alicia's tone was serious, and she only referred to me that way and in a very serious tone when the matter was a serious matter. Alicia stepped forward. The look on her face wasn't encouraging at all. I was curious to know what was going on, but there was no way I could get the news out of her head without getting out of her mouth first. So, I simply waited for her to speak. "You are needed at the police station," Alicia informed me. "Why?" I asked her, as my heartbeat slowly began to increase. "The lady who caused the whole

She waited for me to say something in her defence, but I only gave her an angry glare. She shook her head, hissed, and walked away quickly. Sally, who had been staring at me all along, turned to me with an angry glare. "What is the matter?" I asked her. "Why was Beverly kissing you?" She asked me. "I am sure you know that she didn't kiss me. You're just attacking me.""She didn't kiss you?" Salky asked angrily. "Now you're trying to say I'm accusing you wrongly because I'm either blind, or I am a liar."I shook my head and sighed deeply as I sat up. I stretched my hands to hold Sally's hand, but she quickly pulled her hands away from mine. "Don't you touch me!" She fired at me. Sally folded her arms under her breast and looked away.

"Calm down, Alex," Clinton advised me. I could not think straight. I logged into the app and tried to track Sally's phone again, but it got disconnected. I could no longer track her, and it was because her phone was switched off. "Let me have your phone," I asked Clinton.

She was only saying so to get me off her back. I tried to go through her phone, but it seemed like she had deleted her recent calls. The only call I saw was that of her mom and other unimportant calls. I walked back to the bag lying on the floor of our room. I opened the bag and stared into it for a while. I hoped that all was well. I returned to the bed and kept rolling there. I didn't even notice when I slept off.The next morning, I felt someone shaking me tenderly.
