CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE SALLYMy guard was talking in a low tone, but I could not hear what he was saying. "What's going on here?" I shouted, and the two paused immediately. It seemed like my voice electrocuted both of them, and none of them said anything else. "Why are you here?" I asked the old woman calmly. She stepped forward and bowed before me. She looked very weak and lean, and her necks had grown long. Her fingers were wrinkled, and she could barely walk freely. "Can we talk for a while?" She pleaded. I was quiet for a while. I didn't want to trust whatever was connected to the old lady, but I felt pity for her. She was once my nanny. All she showed to Beverly and I was love. She never treated us differently. No, I would say she did because she always put me ahead of Beverly. I was her top priority. "Come in," I ushered her in. As she stepped closer, the guard turned around to face me. He had this questioning look on his brow. I smiled deeply. "This is Be
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX SALLYWhen Alex came home, I walked to him and hugged him tightly. I could not wait to break the news of our visit to my family's house to Alex. I took his bag from the guard and took it inside. When we were inside, I began to help Alex unbuckle his suit. "What would you have for dinner?" I asked Alex. "Did you make something already? Or would you make something right now?" I sucked my teeth. "I'd take your orders, my lord. Does it matter what I do with it?" I asked him. "Anyways, I would do whatever you wish. Just state it."Alex narrowed his eyes at me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and stared deep into my eyes. My hands were wrapped around his neck as I stared into his eyes, too. "Why do I feel like you're up to some mischief?" Alex asked me. I smiled. "I am not up to anything. Unless you are accusing me of something I didn't do."He nodded his head and pushed me backwards a bit. "I'd like to eat you first."Alex didn't wait for
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN SALLYABOUT A WEEK LATERI walked around the production room with my hands placed behind my back. I had strictly selected the team who would work on this project to avoid a repetition of what happened the last time.I was careful enough to make sure that there was no new member on the team. I wouldn't let the same thing happen twice under my nose. While I paced the room with my hands tied behind my back, the door opened, and I was about to raise an alarm when I saw that it was Alicia. She walked towards me with a file. "The security I mounted outside the door, they are still there, right?" I asked Alicia. "Of course," she replied. "They only let me in because they knew that I am part of the team."I sighed and nodded. I made sure to mount enough security by the gate to avoid entertaining any foreigners. I didn't want anyone who wasn't in the team to come in. "Here are the documents from the last meeting we had with the investors from Yorkshir
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT SALLYBeverly's eyes and mouth were wide open when she saw us walk in. I was sure that she didn't expect Alex and I to walk in at the moment. "You both are welcome," she said to us, forcing a smile. "The doctor was just telling me about the test result and that the baby is yours."I scoffed. Alex took a step closer to Beverly's bed, but I grabbed him and pulled him backwards. "We heard everything you said, Beverly. Why don't you give up?" I asked her. I knew that Beverly thought we didn't hear her conversation with the doctor. It was so unfortunate that we heard everything loud and clear, and she was caught in the act. I thought it was time for Beverly to give up now. I wore a victorious grin on my face as I watched Beverly lying there in bed. Her brows are now squeezed in a confused look. She tried to sit up. Alex and I watched her as she struggled until she finally sat up in bed. The doctor also watched us. He was still in shock and unabl
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINEALEXANDER I opened my eyes and saw Sally still cuddled firmly in my arms. She was still deeply asleep. I gently made her lay in bed independently before walking into the bathroom for a shower. She had partied so hard the previous night. We had stayed out until it was almost the next morning before we went home. We could not sleep immediately because we were so excited. After having a shower, I went to the kitchen to get Sally's breakfast. Luckily, she was awake when I returned. She greeted me with a smile, but her smile slowly disappeared, and a frown appeared on her face. "I didn't see you when I woke up," she nagged. I placed her breakfast of omlette on the table and sat beside her. I pulled her close to me and kissed her forehead. "My love, you know I would never leave you, right?" I asked her. She nodded. "I got you breakfast."I opened the plate, and Sally quickly closed her nose. "Take it out," she cried. "I don't want that. It disgus
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTYSALLYI woke up in the morning, and Alex was gone. I rushed into the bathroom, and he wasn't there. I wondered where he must have gone. I decided to sit in my bed and wait for him. Maybe he wanted to get me breakfast in bed, just like yesterday. I waited for him and lost my patience after a few minutes. I decided to count to a hundred while pacing the room.My fingers were in my mouth. I kept biting them as I paced the room. I heard a knock on the door. It caused my heart to sink, but for excitement. I waited in excitement for the door to open, but instead, I heard another knock. Was the breakfast too heavy for him to carry, or was it someone else? I could not tell what the case was. I rushed to the door and opened the door. I met one of the maids there with a tray in her hand. I could perceive the smell of salad from the plates in her hand, and it made me want to peak. "What do you want?" I asked her angrily."Alex asked me to bring your breakfast,"
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY ONEALEXANDER After the second round of sex that night, I carried Sally to the bed. She was breathing heavily and, at the same time, faintly as a result of exhaustion. I lay her in bed and tucked her in until she fell asleep. I made sure that Sally was deeply asleep before standing up from the bed. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was almost midnight, and I hadn't had dinner yet. I wondered if Sally had, and immediately after I did the wondering. The answer came flashing to my face. I saw a plate of food open on the table. It was almost dried up, and half of it had been eaten already. I saw the label on the plate and immediately knew that she ordered food. I stared back at Sally, who was sleeping peacefully and felt bad for a bit. I knew she was going through a lot already, and I just couldn't help it. I decided to go grab something from the kitchen when my phone beeped. I picked it up and saw that the message was from Clinton. I opened
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY TWOJAMES I walked out of the bathroom and noticed that my screen was on. I walked up to the phone and unlocked it. There were three missed calls from my mom and a message from her, too. I wondered what the emergency was when she kept calling and texting when I didn't pick up.I hoped that she was fine.I tapped on the message icon and hissed loudly when I saw the text from her. "A dinner invitation?" I asked and scoffed. "When do we have frequent dinners like this for no reason?"I placed the phone back on the table and walked back to my wardrobe to dress up for work. I wondered why my mom was so interested in Alex. She already had a son who was doing very well for her and him. Making her proud. Why would she not let Alex be?I wouldn't want to be anywhere close to Alex, so the dinner would wait until I confirmed if Alex would be there or not. Only then would I be able to decide if I wanted to eat dinner with my family or all alone at home. After dre
