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.
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONEALEXANDER I finished packing up my stuff to leave since I was done for the day. I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check what the time was and sighed since it was still a bit early. I would use some time to rest as much as I could. I needed a break, and I also needed to cool off. I picked up my bag and walked out of the office. Immediately as I stepped out of my office, I met Clinton by the door. He looked down at the bag in my hand and then up at me. "You're leaving already?" Clinton asked. I smiled and nodded my head. "I have closed for today. Any other work would have to be carried over to tomorrow. "Clinton pulled out a file and stretched it towards me. I didn't hesitate to take the file from him immediately. "This is the file to transfer Sally's shares back to her," Clinton informed me. I smiled, seeing how I almost forgot the fact that we were supposed to be working on this. If Clinton didn't remind me right now, I would not even re
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWOALEXANDER I was now in my room, trying to take in what Sally had told me. The whole drama back there. The rage in Sally's eyes. It was possible that she was telling the truth, and at the same time, it was possible that she was being misled to believe that what she was telling was the truth. I knew that I would be glad to realise that the child in Beverly's womb wasn't mine since I would easily cut all ties with her and be with Sally without any interruptions. I suddenly remembered that Sally spoke about the video of what happened the day I was accused of fucking Beverly. I wondered if she now knew the truth. Were we cool right now?I sighed deeply and leaned backwards. It didn't matter, after all. Sally couldn't trust me. Instead, she went ahead to confide in the person I hated the most in this world. Someone that she shouldn't be seen with. I wasn't sure what was going on with her. I only took a glance at her soured face and walked out of the ro
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREESALLY 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
