CHAPTER SIXTYALEXANDER I knew that the only time my dad would ask me to visit him was when he had something to scold me about. I was sure he had seen the news as well, and that was the only reason he'd ask to see me. Still, I couldn't deny him the right to see me. I drove into the compound and parked safely at the parking lot. I walked out of the car and stood beside it. I breathed out heavily, with my eyes tightly shot. I was ready for whatever he had in the stall for me. I walked into the sitting room and met my dad, walking down the stares already. "You're here," he said. His voice sounded neutral. He was neither shocked nor pleased. He came to me and I noticed the firece glare in his eyes. He pulled out his phone and pointed it to my face. There was a picture of Beverly hugging me, and another picture of her waking into the house, then the picture of Sally leaving. I sighed. I was aware that it was the reason he called me. I wasn't surprised because I saw it coming.
CHAPTER SIXTY ONESALLYI walked into my room and banged the door on Alex's face. I walked straight to my bed and sat there, letting out a sigh of relief.After a few seconds, I began to hear continuous knock on my door. I tried to ignore it, but it would not stop. I decided to go out there and find out if it was Alex or someone else. When I opened the door, I saw Alex standing there. "What do you want?" I asked him harshly. "I'm sorry for...""Can you just go away and leave me alone?" I asked him. Alex bit his lower lips gently and tried to speak. I pushed the door forward in an attempt to close it, but Alex grabbed it quickly and placed his left foot in my room."If you want to keep walking with that leg, take it off," I threatened him. "If that would make you hear me out, then fine."I wondered why Alex was putting into much effort to see that I forgave him. What does it matter to him?"What do you want from me, Alex?" I asked him calmly. "And I want you to be sincere. ""I
CHAPTER SIXTY TWOBEVERLY "Why won't you stop? When will you stop?" I shouted harshly. I was about to say another word when I heard someone's phone ringing loudly behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Sally standing there, which left me flustered. I quickly hung up and faced Sally, who only stared at me for a while, causing me to swallow hard. With shaky hand and feet, I walked towards the switch and turned the lights on. Sally picked up the call and walked away. I was stunned. I wondered if she heard my conversation with Peter or not. I'd kill Peter if he ever got me in trouble. I was already close to becoming the queen I've always dreamt of being, and he was trying to ruin everything for me. My phone began to ring again. It was still Peter calling. I hung up. He texted me with a threat saying he would come over if I didn't pick up the calls. I rushed back to my room and picked up his call. I was already sweating profusely. "What do you want?" I demanded harshly when I
CHAPTER SIXTY THREESALLY I walked into my room and stood in the middle of the room with my phone in my hand. "Why haven't you been at work?" Mr Clarence questioned. I rolled my eyes. "I was out of town," I responded. I noticed someone walking in the compound and rushed towards the window. I opened the curtain and stood there, watching. Beverly walked out of the compound dressed in simple clothing. I stared at her until I could no longer see her. Something in my gut told me that Beverly was up to something. I thought of following her, but I immediately decided against it. "You should be at work tomorrow," Clarence informed me. "We have a very important meeting to attend to."I sighed deeply. "Of course, I will. I'm back in town."I let go of the curtain immediately when we hung up. I sat on my bed and placed both hands on my knees. Beverly was obviously up to some mischief. Although I didn't pick up her conversation earlier, I heard her say, "It's not yours."I wondered what
CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR BEVERLY "Beverly," Alex called immediately after Sally left. I lifted my head from my plate and fixed my gaze on his lips. "I want you to leave," he requested. I simply scoffed and continued eating. I didn't have the energy for the stress he was about to put me through. One thing I know for sure was that I would never leave the house matter what. I was here to stay, and nothing would change that. "You have to leave, Beverly. My wife is not comfortable with your presence here.""Why?" I asked, as I faced Alex. "I have the same right to this house as she does. I even have more right. I'm the one who's carrying your child, not her."Alex nodded."That's right, but..." He paused for a while and ran his fingers through his hair. I pushed my nose forward. "You can stay in a hotel until I find you somewhere you'd be comfortable and you'd love to stay.""Better stop searching cause I do not have plans to leave this house. "Alex placed his spoon on the bare table.
CHAPTER SIXTY FIVEALEX"I need to get rid of that woman in my house and my life as soon as possible," I told Clinton.He sighed deeply. "What are your plans right now?" He asked me. "I'm not sure, but I know she needs to leave my house. I just can't wait for the baby to be born, so she will return every dime I spent on that child if it isn't mine.""With the huge amount of money you just sent to her?" Clinton asked. "Nah, that woman would wreck you."I leaned backwards and placed my hand on my jaw. My agent was doing a very terrible job in finding an apartment for Beverly. I wanted her out of my house as soon as possible. "I need you to start searching for a house around town. A house that's not too big and won't cost me so much. I need to get rid of Beverly as soon as possible."Clinton nodded. "Your wish is my command, sir," he agreed. "Please, I need you to hurry with the search."He pulled out his phone."There are agencies online that you can get houses from," he said. "Ar
CHAPTER SIXTY SIXJAMESI was going through some documents in my office when Gerald walked in with a file. There was a smile on his face. Whenever Gerald smiled that way, it meant there was a catch. I had earlier asked him to find some dirt in the Grande group of companies. Anything at all that could be used against Alex and the company at large. "Sit," I offered Gerald a seat. He pulled out the chair in front of me and sat there. Gerald was now seated opposite me, with the file on the table as he tried to unlock it. He brought out a few papers from the file and pushed it towards me. "Here," he said, with a grin on his lip. I took the paper from him and gulped. I was eager to see what he had. I wanted to ask him, but I decided to see for myself. "Grande group of companies," I read the top information on the first page aloud. I smirked. It was truly about the Grande company and not about my office. I began to flip through the papers. There were pictures attacked to the docume
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVENSALLYI was surprised about the information in the document. It was everything I wanted and more. Once this got leaked, Alex and his career were done. A smirk curved out of my lip as I stared at it. "How did you get this?" I asked James. He smiled deeply and leaned forward. "When you care so much about people, you would go extra miles to try and protect them. "I nodded in agreement to what he had just said. The weapon in my hand was what I needed to take revenge on Alex for all that he had done to me and the ones I loved. "Thank you so much, James. For helping me."He smiled deeply. "It's fine," he replied and leaned backwards. I was about to say something else, but it seemed like he wasn't done talking."Come to me once you're done destroying Alex. I'll be ready to receive you. I love you, and I will treat you better. I am ready to prove to you that Alex doesn't deserve you."My heart sank deeply into my stomach, and I opened my mouth to speak, but it end
