CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE

SALLY

When dinner was ready, I walked downstairs to eat. I was expecting to meet Alex and Beverly already eating at the dining room. I was surprised when I got there and met an empty table.

"Where's everyone?" I asked the assistant chef when I walked into the dining room.

She was there, setting the dining room alongside other maids. She lifted her head to look at me.

"I tried to reach out to the master but I couldn't reach him. The mistress is already asleep. She has a high fever and severe headache."

"Go to his room and tell him dinner is ready," I ordered, pretending like I didn't hear the part she spoke about Beverly.

She bowed and walked away.

I sat down on my seat, and the other maids began to dish my food into my plate. After dishing out the food, they walked back into the kitchen to fix things back there.

I leaned forward as the aroma of the food filled my nose. I began to salivate. I was very hungry, but I didn't want to eat until

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOURBEVERLY I just walked out of my room when I heard Sally whimpering softly. I stood by the door and listened to her footsteps as they steadied into her toilet. I could hear her puking, and I also heard her stagger out of the bathroom.I walked away from her room hastily when I noticed she was already coming out of her room. I placed my finger in my mouth and bit it gently. I hoped that it wasn't what I was thinking. I hid behind the pillar and watched Sally as she walked out of the house lazily. I shook my head and walked back to my room. I quickly dressed up and walked out of the room. I went straight to Peter's house. I was fuming in anger when I walked into his house. I never knew Peter would be so stupid to have done something as extreme as going to report me to Sally. How dare he go ahead and tell her everything, ruing all the things we worked so hard to build. I stormed into Peter's room, only to meet him seated on the couch in his sitting

I wasn't able to eat lunch during the lunch break because I I had too much to do so I decided to grab something light. I was walking down the stairs when a woman rushed up to me. She looked pregnant. I looked down at her stomach and up to her face. Her face didn't look familiar at first. In fact, I didn't recall seeing her from anywhere. She stopped in front of me, and two of my guards rushed up o grab her. "Wait!" I ordered them, with my hands lifted in the air. They both stopped, and I waved them away. "What do you want?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow. "My name is Beverly, and I...""You are here to beg for some cash," I completed before she could finish talking. Her expression got soured, and I saw her fold her fist. A smile appeared on my lips because I knew she couldn't punch me. I was excited to see how pained she was, and there was nothing she

I rolled my eyes and hesitated for a while before I finally spoke up. "What for?" I asked. I didn't care about her feelings. I cared more about mine. I was still hurt, and I wanted her to feel that I was hurt. I wanted her to know how I felt and to feel the pain. "Alex, please," she pleaded. "I am your mother, and I want us to catch up. I want to get to know my son. I want you to...""Mom, you know that this would have been avoided if you had done all of these things long ago."There was a pause for a while before she finally spoke again. "That's why I'm trying so hard to make you see the truth. To make you understand that things would have worked out better, but not in the way you think it. I want you to see that everything is not about what you think or feel.""Fine."I finally agreed to meet my mom. We agreed

She fainted immediately...""Text me the address immediately," I cut in before she could finish speaking. I picked up my bag to leave immediately, but my mom grabbed my arm before I could. "What's the matter?" Diana asked as she glared at me worriedly. "Sally was rushed to the hospital after she passed out," I replied to her. "I'd go with you," she told me. I didn't argue cause I didn't have the energy to, so I just simply nodded and kept walking while she followed behind me. My phone beeped. I ignored it because I knew that it was the address that was texted to me. I got into my car with my mom before I opened the text. I drove hurriedly to the hospital. "Do you know how hurt I was when I found out you got married?" Diana asked me during the drive. "Your dad couldn't even say anything to me about it."I sighed.

I knew that it was Beverly who was eavesdropping. I decided to go out and show off. "I need to grab a drink," I told Alex as I stood up and tried to walk out, but Alex grabbed me and pulled me back. "Hold on," Alex told me as he held me back. "I would get you water instead." "I'm craving," I lied to Alex. "If you get me water, I wouldn't be able to take it because I may no longer want it. I don't even know what I want. I'd find out once I get to the kitchen."Alex pecked my forehead before letting me go. I stood up and walked out of the room. Immediately when I opened the door, I saw Beverly standing by the door, and she quickly bent down and screamed. "Ahh!"I stared at her as she held her toe, crying out in pain. I scoffed. She was only being dramatic because I caught her red-handed eavesdropping on us. She was trying to cove

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINEALEXANDER "Sir, your next meeting is about to start," Clinton came to inform me. I had so much adrenaline running through my system. I could feel the butterflies dancing around in my tummy as I walked into the meeting room. I hadn't gotten over the joy of Sally's pregnancy yet. It was hard not to feel too excited. I walked into the meeting room and met the board members already gathered and waiting for my arrival. I advised that we all comported ourselves since the construction company was one of the biggest, if not the biggest in the state. We had been trying so hard to book a meeting with the company, and it was seemingly impossible. Finally, we were able to get them here like this. I was excited about the fact that they finally agreed to meet with us and hoped that they would not turn us down. I was too excited to feel nervous about meeting with them. They soon arrived, and after all the greetings and formalities, the meeting began proper.

Clinton noticed that I was shocked, so he moved even closer to me and stood beside me. He dipped his head into my phone. He furrowed his brow and faced me. "What is the matter?" He inquired. "I... I... uhm... have a look," I told Clinton. I lost my voice trying to explain to Clinton what was going on. He took my phone and stared at the same pictures he sent to me. His brows were still furrowed, which meant that he didn't even realise what was going on. I wondered how Clinton wasn't able to recognise the man in the picture, even though he had sent it to me. "Go through the documents," I told Clinton. Clinton began to go through the documents, and his eyes widened. I was no longer as angry as I was when I walked into the office. My anger had been replaced with shock. How the fuck did this happen? The son of the victim who died d

Not after what he told me, but I wouldn't let him waste away at home when he could just go to the party and pretend that all was well. Alex's phone began to ring. I walked towards the bed and picked up the phone. Alex was still in the toilet. "Alex, it's Damien," I called out loudly. "Pick it up," Alex responded. I picked up the call. "I'm almost at the venue already. Where the fuck are you bro!" Damien shouted without even realising that it was me, and not Alex. "Alex and I would be on our way soon.""Soon? That means you haven't even left your house yet?" Damien's voice was calmer now. He didn't raise his voice the way he did earlier, any longer. "Yes, we are still home. We apologise for wasting your time."Alex and I finished dressing up, and his drive drove us to the party hall. We were accompanied by three of Alex's guards. Alex called Damien whe

I was also hoping, just like her. I didn't have any supernatural powers.We got to the hospital, and while she was being transferred to the bed, her parents drove in. Her mom alighted from the car before it even stopped and rushed towards us. Her heart was racing as she approached us. "My daughter," she cried out in pain.

"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. "Of course," he replied as he dipped his hands into his pocket and brought out his phone. He handed his phone over to me. I took it from Clinton and dialled Sally's number. It was still switched off.

I finally got to the location. I parked my car outside the building, and alighted from the car..I called Beverly to inform her that I was at the location. After a while, she arrived with two men. I opened the car boot for them to get the money. They pulled the bag out of the car and dropped it on the floor. They opened the zip and quickly searched through it."It's intact," one of them to Beverly. "We can't trust this woman," Beverly told them. "We have to count the money first.""Where's she?"

I knew that she cried the moment I walked in and saw her eyes. Even though Sally kept insisting that she was fine until she slept off, I knew that she was not fine. 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. I opened my eyes slowly, and I rubbed them with both hands. When I opened my eyes widely, I saw Sally seated in front of me.
