CHAPTER FOURTY THREESALLYI was working in my office when I heard a soft knock on the door. I lifted my head to stare at the door, and before I could say a word, the door opened, and James walked into my office. I smiled when I saw him. It had been long since I saw James last. He smiled as he came to my table. I stood up to give him a side hug. "At least, I'm glad that you're excited to see me." James told me. I smiled. "Of course," I replied. James took his seat, and I did, too. "Here," he said, handing me an invitation card. I took the card and stared at it. "Twenty-second anniversary?" I asked with my eyes wide open. James nodded. "Make sure you're there," he told me. I nodded. "Of course," I responded. "Is there a reason I shouldn't be there?" He leaned forward. "You, tell me," he responded. I smiled deeply. "None.""Are you aware of the fact that Alexander..." James began to speak but suddenly trailed off. "Alexander, did what?" I asked curiously. "It's nothing.
CHAPTER FOURTY FOURSALLYSlowly, I opened my eyes and rubbed it gently with my palms. I noticed Alex seated right before me on the bed and staring at me with a smile. My face flushed red, although his stares were a little uncomfortable. "Waking up to a handsome face makes you blush. I've noted that," Alex teased me. I rolled my eyes and looked away. Flashes of last night came to my memory, and a smile curved out on my lips. "I guess you won a jackpot last night," Alex continued to tease me. "The way you're smiling and blushing."I turned to face him. "I enjoyed last night," I told him. "At least, I got to experience what it felt like since I wasn't drunk this time. "Alex sighed a pretentious sigh of relief. "I really thought you'd wake up and stab me this time."I giggled. "Honestly," I began to speak, with a serious look as I placed my hand on Alex's chest. "Last night was a special one."He smiled deeply, revealing his cute dimples. It was hard to believe that I finally had s
CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE ALEXANDER Flashback.I was already on my way home from the office when I suddenly noticed a car parked by the corner. It looked exactly like Sally's car, so I decided to see for myself if Sally was truly the one who was stranded on the road. I parked behind her car and alighted from mine. I pointed a torchlight and was shocked to see Sally sleeping in her car. I opened the door, and it was not locked. I slapped my forehead. How could she be so careless?What would have happened if someone else had walked in here and saw her that way. A car soon pulled up in front of us. I looked towards the car as the lights went off. Someone alighted from the car and began to walk towards us. When he was close enough, I quickly recognised him as one of the drivers at home. "Sir, she called me a while ago to pick her up," he informed me. I nodded. "It's fine," I informed him. "I would just take it from here."The driver stood there staring at me with a confused look. "Cal
CHAPTER FOURTY SIXSALLY"Now, this looks exceptionally beautiful!" Alicia complimented immediately when I was done dressing up. I stood in front of my dressing mirror with my eyes fixed on my reflection. I was indeed a beauty to behold. A smile played on my lips as I watched my reflection. "I think you're good to go," Alicia told me. "You're lucky to have someone who has such a nice taste. "Alicia and I walked out of the room together. I walked her to the door, and she left. I turned around and saw Alex walking down the stairs.He was dressed in a cooperate wear. I stared at him agape until he got to where I was standing. "You look fabulous!" Alex said to me. "You look handsome."Alexander stretched his hands towards me and pulled me closer. "I didn't find you in your room, so I came downstairs to see if you're here.""I decided to see Alicia off. "Alex stared at me from my head down to my toe, and I smiled deeply. I loved the way he devoured my body with his eyes.I could te
CHAPTER FOURTY SEVENALEXJames's statement caused me to smile cause I already came, and I had no intention of leaving. "James," I called with a smirk as I learned forward. "Whether you or your mom, does that really matter? I'm here already, with an invite, and that's the most important thing. James tried to speak, but his mom pulled him away gently. "You don't have the right to embarrass my guest like this."I winked at James and turned to face Mrs Diane. "Hello, ma'am," I greeted her. "Hi, son," she replied and gave me a one-sided hug. James rolled his eyes, hissed loudly, and walked away. "You came in with a beautiful woman," she noted as she turned to face Sally. Sally gave her a deep smile. Indeed, my wife was damn pretty. How would I ever get used to having a woman like this beside me?"Hello," Sally greeted her. She waved at Sally, still staring at her with a furrowed brow. She suddenly turned to face me. "Who is she?" She asked me. I smiled and lifted Sally's hand.
CHAPTER FOURTY EIGHTSALLYI watched Alex leave with a smile on my face. I walked back to my seat and sat there. After James's father was done with his speech, he was called together with his family to cut the anniversary cake. They spelt Whites to cut the cake, and after that, Diane left hurriedly. James walked up to me and came to sit in front of me. Music was already all over, and people were now dancing at the open dance floor. "You know that's Alex's seat, right?" I asked James. He nodded calmly. "And you know he wouldn't want to see you there when he comes back, right?" I asked James. He nodded. "Do you know that I've been trying to get your attention since?" James asked me. I shifted uncomfortably. I didn't want him to flatter me. I looked around for Alex, hoping that he wouldn't come back and make trouble with James. "Do you know that the reason I'm desperately wanting to speak with you is more important to you?"I sighed deeply. The question and answer section was ge
CHAPTER FOURTY NINESALLYThe meeting started not too long ago, and I was staring at all the shareholders and board members. I didn't like attending meetings because it reminded me of what they did to me. I picked up my phone and began to scroll through it. "The CEO is online now," Mr Johnson announced. "When would we stop having this kind of meeting with him?" Miss Sheila asked. She hissed and folded her arms. The anonymous CEOs voice came in, and we picked up. I wasn't interested in the meeting, so I wasn't listening to everything that was being said to him. "I agree with that."I lifted my head in surprise after hearing the voice of the anonymous CEO for the first time. I was shocked because he sounded exactly like Alex, but I decided to let it slide. "Just create a document and forward it to me. I'd just go through it."I stared at the screen in shock. The voice call was still going on, but I could no longer hear a word. I slapped myself. It was obviously my head playing m
CHAPTER FIFTY ALEXANDER I was on a call when Sally suddenly badged into my office with a fierce look. I quickly put the call on hold and stood up to face Sally. I could feel the pain in her voice as she spoke, and I didn't have the guts to lie to her. Judgement day is here already. Nothing would be hidden under the sun for a long time, and here it was. Sally already found out the truth. I decided to tell her the truth rather than make things worse by trying to deny it. I picked up the wedding ring immediately when Sally threw it at me, and ran after her. I rushed downstairs, and she was nowhere to be found. How did she disappear within the very little time I bent down to pick up her ring? I looked around for my car. It was parked at the usual spot. I walked towards it and noticed that it was open, and the key was inside. I turned around and my driver wasn't around the premises. "I do not need you right now."I placed the ring in my pocket and climbed into my car. "Sir Alexan
