CHAPTER NINETY SEVENSALLYONE MONTH LATERIt's been a month already, and I've been struggling to move on from Mr Grande's victory in court. I knew that it would be very difficult to win over him, yet I didn't know that he would be able to bend a whole lot of things so easily. It was very obvious that his allies were lying. "I was only asked to spy on the company, and nothing else. Mr Grande didn't do any harm to Sally's company," Ralia had told the court. It was very obvious that her defence wasn't adding up. But I didn't have any evidence to back up my accusations. The court only asked Mr Grande to compensate my company and killed the case afterwards. "You do not have any solid evidence to back up your plans, Mrs Sally. What do we hold against the accused right now? Your words?"The judge's words pierced my heart. I couldn't stop reminiscing on everything, even though it had been a month already.I felt defeated. I didn't care about the compensation that took Mr Grande days to
CHAPTER NINETY EIGHTALEXANDER My car pulled up in front of a bungalow in a remote part of the city. My driver stepped out of the car to open the door for me and Clinton to walk out of the car. Clinton and I walked ahead while my driver stayed back. He rested against the car while watching us while we went ahead. Clinton and I had been doing underground research about the families for a while, and we finally decided to pay them a visit today. We were at the house of the man who had died. His wife and daughter were the ones who lived in the house. I stood in front of the house and rang the doorbell, then I stayed back and waited for a reply from inside. After a while, the door opened, and a woman stuck her head out of the door. It seemed like they had been living in fear ever since the accident. "Go," she shouted at us as she waved her hands at us. "We just want to talk to you," I told the woman in a pleading manner. She didn't even ask our names or what we wanted. She just ask
CHAPTER NINETY NINE SALLYI had just returned from the meeting with the investors outside the company. I was still fuming after bumping into Alex's father. I was angry about the proud look on his face when I saw him. He even gave me a daring smirk. I shook my head and tried to focus on my work, but since I couldn't focus, I decided to close for the day. I was still packing up my things when I heard a soft knock on my door. The door opened afterwards, and immediately when I turned around, my eyes met Alex's eyes. I sighed deeply, I didn't know why I was excited to see Alex. "Alex," I called, as I walked up to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, and I stayed in his arms, trying to get over my tough day. He wrapped me securely, and I enjoyed the comfort of his embrace. He finally pulled me away gently and stared into my eyes. "Sally," he called in a calm tone. "Alex," I responded and smiled. "Will you like to eat out with me?" He asked. There was a smile on his face
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ALEXANDER I kept checking my wristwatch after Sally left. What type of press was that? Why was she taking so long in there? I wanted to go check up on her, but I decided to cut myself some slack. I could no longer eat my food. I kept stirring my food around, and I ended up not eating anything from my plate anymore. I decided to check up on Sally since she wasn't back yet, and there was no sign of her coming out of the convenience. I was close enough to the female restroom when I heard her whimpering and wincing softly from outside. I rushed in, only to meet a man tearing her clothes. I pounced on him and began punching him hard, while Sally stayed back watching us and crying. I punched the man so hard that he began to bleed badly. Sally hugged me from behind and began to sob."Alex, please," she pleaded with me. She pulled me up, and I decided to listen to her and just let the man go, even though I felt like killing him at that point. "Take me home," Sally
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONEALEXANDER The next day, Sally and I had breakfast together with Beverly. She seemed to have gotten over what happened. Surprisingly, the breakfast was peaceful. It wasn't always that way. Beverly didn't try to get on Sally's toes as usual, and neither did the two compete against each other. In fact, we ate quietly, and I drove Sally to work afterwards. I bade her goodbye before going to work. When I got to my office, I called Clinton and told him about the man who tried to force himself on Sally. I called in an artiste to quickly sketch him while I described him. I handed the drawing over to Clinton. It was perfect since the artists did a very good job in the drawing. "I want you to make inquiries about him and tell me everything you found out.""Yes, sir," he responded and walked away with the picture.I went back to work, completely forgetting about the fact that I had asked Clinton to get information about the man. I was still busy with work when I
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWOBEVERLYI stood by the window watching Alex and Sally as they left the house happily. He even opened the door for her to get in, and he drove her himself. I folded my fist and watched them in anger as they drove out of the compound. I was pissed. Seeing them happy and together was so annoying. I walked back to the couch and sat there with my fingers placed on my jaw. "Are they putting up a show for me to see?" I questioned myself. My spy always told me about how they fought and kept malice before I came into this house. They seem to be getting closer recently. They even came home together, and Alex stayed in Sally's room for a long time last night."Are they falling in love already?" I asked and gasped. What if they were already in love? I stood up to my feet and began to pace the sitting room. I wouldn't let that happen. There must be a way to separate them. While I was pacing my sitting room, my phone began to ring, and I quickly picked up the phon
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREEALEXANDER I walked into the police station prior to the call from the officers. The police officer handling my case was there to receive me. There were two other officers in the room as we settled. "We found something interesting about the accident that we think you would like to see. It would also help.""Tell me about it," I requested. They played a video on their system for me to see. A middle-aged man was seen returning a truck to a shop where trucks were hired. It wasn't a large shop. A small shop where about two other small vehicles are parked. "Who is the owner of this shop?" I asked them."He's a middle-class man. He feeds his family through driving trucks and vehicles. I feel like he hires them sometimes, too, just to get extra money."I sighed deeply and sat up. "The truck driver hired this truck on that same day of the accident, " the officer told me. "So, what do you think?" I asked him. "He was paid to kill Sally, and you saved her in
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURSALLY I watched the press conference from my office. Tears pilled up in my eyes, but I didn't let any of it drop down. I kept holding them back in. I saw how difficult it was for Alex, yet he still went ahead to do it. After he was done, I picked up my phone and dialled his number. I wanted to be the first person to talk to him after the press conference. Luckily, he picked up immediately after I called. "My love," he called. I blushed because he had never referred to me as that before. His voice came out very weak. I could tell how sad he was from the way he spoke. "How are you doing?" I asked Alex. "I am doing very well, Sally," he responded. "At least, I am glad to have taken this off my chest. It feels so good."I smiled deeply. "I am ready to take whatever consequences that come with it. I hope that everything will fall in place soon."After ending the call, I decided to go back to work. I signed and prepared a few documents before being call
