CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENSALLYAlexander's pictures when he was a kid were inside the documents. There were a few other things there, but I quickly packed up and let the office. When I got home, I freshened up before going to Alex's room. I forgot completely about the documents and went to stay with Alex in his room. I tried to be by his side and also to give him a shoulder to cry on."I tried to ask my dad about my mom, and she said he's close to me," Alex informed me. I narrowed my eyes as I quickly considered the thoughts of Diana being Alex's mom. I killed the thoughts immediately. It was probably just a coincidence. Alex nagged about Diana being a pest and how he wasn't sure about what she was up to and why she was acting the way she was. "You have to calm down, love," I told him. Alex lay on my shoulders as he tabled one issue after the other. I made him feel relaxed in my arms. "You know she's not that bad," I told Alex. "You should give her audience. ""I would ne
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENALEXANDER I was mad at James. The snarl on his face when he walked down the stairs. He walked towards me and stood very close to me with a fake smile. "Hello, Mr Grande," he greeted, stretching his hands towards me. I opened my thirty-two wide, letting out a sarcastic smile as I stretched my hands to take his. He pulled his hands away before mine could touch it. Snickered, and walked away. I turned to Sally, who immediately took my hands in hers, and gave it a gentle squeeze. I forced out a smile, and we walked to the dining together. Everyone else began to eat almost immediately after settling. Sally seemed a bit comfortable around there. I noticed the eye signal between Diana and Sally.Diana seemed a bit tense. Her husband held her hand and kissed it gently before excusing himself. I decided to ignore everyone else and just eat. "Alex," Diana suddenly called after clearing her throat. I was beginning to enjoy the meal, and she wanted to ruin
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN SALLYI branched the grocery store to get fresh vegetables and beef before going back home from work. I decided to make dinner today. I haven't had the chance to make food for Alex as promised because of the too many activities taking my time, but this time, I would. I intentionally closed work earlier so that I would be able to make Alex dinner. "Pass me the salt," I asked the kitchen assistant as I began to prepare dinner. Someone else sliced the vegetables while she helped me with stuff when I needed them. It was getting late, and I kept peeping out of the window to see Alex driving into the compound, but there was no sign of him. I was damn worried. Why wasn't he back at this time yet. I walked into the dining room and picked up my phone from the table. I pressed the screen, and it was almost eleven at night. I unlocked my phone and opened my phone book. I tapped on Alex's number. Before dialling it, I shook my head and placed the phone back o
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENBEVERLY Seeing Sally and Alex together made me even angrier. The more they spent time together, the more it annoyed me. I paced my room with my pointer finger in my mouth. The way Sally led Alex into his room, and they were still there after about three hours. I had stayed up till this time just to see the two of them happy together. My eyes caught the small bottle on my table, and a smile quickly appeared on my face. I grabbed it and walked out of the room. I went straight to my spy's room. I opened the door without knocking. She was already asleep with her roommates. I tapped her gently and closed her mouth tightly immediately after tapping her. "Shush," I said. I held her and led her out of the room. "What is it this time?" She demanded as she pushed my hands off her body. "I need you again," I told her. She hissed and placed her hands on her waist. "It would be payment before service this time," she told me. I scowled. "Of course."I ask
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEENSALLYI drove into my company when I realised that I didn't leave the house with my phone. I climbed out of the car, and Alicia as well just drove in. "Alicia," I called when she walked out of her car. "Hello ma'am," she greeted me. "I'm going back home cause I left my phone. Handle things over here."I got back into my car and decided to just grab my phone and leave. I was surprised when I drove into the compound to meet Alex's cars complete at the parking lot. It's been almost an hour, if not more, since I left the house. How come they were still at home. I walked into the sitting room, and it seemed so quiet, apart from the maids going about their normal duties. I walked to the dining room and grabbed my phone from the dining table first. I sighed deeply after picking it up, and then I looked upstairs flatly. I decided to check Alex's room, and when he wasn't there, I concluded that they probably decided to use a cab or something else. I walke
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEENALEXANDER I wouldn't say I was unconscious when my eyes were clearly open. But I only realised that it was Beverly who had been riding me and not Sally when I saw Sally standing by the door with her hands in her mouth and tears streaming down her cheeks. I was shocked.How did it happen? I looked back at Beverly, who was still on top of me. She didn't seem remorseful at all. I immediately realised that Beverly had done something to me. I pushed her away from me immediately and turned to Sally, who quickly rushed out in tears. I wore my dress as quickly as I could and began running towards the door when Beverly grabbed my arm. "Alex, please let her be."I turned to her with red eyes and pushed her forcely. I heard a big thud as she fell to the floor and let out a faint scream. I didn't turn around for a second. I didn't care about Beverly or the baby in her womb, and the truth was that I hated him even more than I hated his mom. I never asked for
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETEEN BEVERLY I felt completely weak. I felt like It was my last day on earth. I began to say my last prayer inwardly. My head was spinning, and my vision was getting blurred. I could feel my eyes popping out of my eye socket, but I was now too weak to struggle. Alex finally let go of me, and I fell to the floor and began to cough roughly. I was shocked. I never expected Alex to act this way over this little issue. "A... let," I grabbed his foot, trying to get him to talk to me, but he pulled away from me forcefully. "Let go!" He scolded and pushed me to the floor. He stormed out of the room while I continued struggling to breathe. The maids rushed into the room and tried to help me up. "Get away!" I shouted at the top of my voice, and they both ran out of the room together. "Why are you just coming? Didn't you realise I was dying a while ago?"I struggled to sit up on the bed and began to rub my neck gently. I messaged my neck using both hands, as
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTYSALLY "Ma'am," Alicia snapped me out of my thoughts. I had been staring into space and blanking out throughout the meeting. I had done everything to try and concentrate, yet nothing was working. I couldn't stop thinking about the fact Alex was still seeing Beverly. I kept replaying the image of Beverly riding Alex so hard in my head. I couldn't pay attention in the meeting. "Are you okay, ma'am?" Alicia asked me. I nodded and forced a smile. "Have you been able to sign those?" Mr Johnson asked me. "Sir, please I didn't get the last information. I was a little distracted. "The board members began to murmur among themselves. I got carried away once again. Alicia tapped me. She had this worried look in her eyes. She wasn't confused that I was okay. "Can this meeting be adjourned?" I requested. There was a pause for a while before the board members began to murmur among themselves. After deliberating on the matter, we decided to end the meeting.
