CHAPTER NINETY FOURWILLIAM GRANDEI sat in the private lounge in one of the most secluded restaurants, waiting for the assembly man of the country to arrive. I kept lifting my wrist, turning it around and checking what the time was. He was three minutes late to the agreed time. I knew I had come earlier, but once it was the agreed time, I began to check my wrist over and over again. I turned my wrist around, and when I checked for the umpteenth time and lifted my head, I saw him walking into the restaurant. I sighed deeply asbi stretched out on my seat. He walked towards me, and we quickly exchanged handshakes before he sat down on the chair opposite me. We began to talk about ways to keep me out of jail. He talked about pulling some strings to prevent me from being found guilty in court for the scandal case. I didn't quit understand what he planned to do, and how he planned to pull this strings, but I decided to let him do his job since I knew it too well that he was good at wha
CHAPTER NINETY FIVESALLYMy fingers rolled around my keyboard at a very fast pace. I had a few documents to type before the day would run out. I heard a slight knock on the door and lifted my head from the computer. "Come in," I said, even though it barely came out as a whisper. The door opened slowly, and Alicia walked into my office. "Ma'am," she called as she closed the distance between us. "Alicia," I called her with my brows furrowed in confusion. Alicia's tone was serious, and she only referred to me that way and in a very serious tone when the matter was a serious matter. Alicia stepped forward. The look on her face wasn't encouraging at all. I was curious to know what was going on, but there was no way I could get the news out of her head without getting out of her mouth first. So, I simply waited for her to speak. "You are needed at the police station," Alicia informed me. "Why?" I asked her, as my heartbeat slowly began to increase. "The lady who caused the whole
CHAPTER NINETY SIXALEXANDER "How dare you?" Beverky asked Sally softly. She winced before turning to me with lowered eyes. She waited for me to say something in her defence, but I only gave her an angry glare. She shook her head, hissed, and walked away quickly. Sally, who had been staring at me all along, turned to me with an angry glare. "What is the matter?" I asked her. "Why was Beverly kissing you?" She asked me. "I am sure you know that she didn't kiss me. You're just attacking me.""She didn't kiss you?" Salky asked angrily. "Now you're trying to say I'm accusing you wrongly because I'm either blind, or I am a liar."I shook my head and sighed deeply as I sat up. I stretched my hands to hold Sally's hand, but she quickly pulled her hands away from mine. "Don't you touch me!" She fired at me. Sally folded her arms under her breast and looked away. "If you didn't let your guard down, then she wouldn't be in here trying to kiss the lips that belong to me."I blinked twic
CHAPTER NINETY SEVENSALLYONE MONTH LATERIt's been a month already, and I've been struggling to move on from Mr Grande's victory in court. I knew that it would be very difficult to win over him, yet I didn't know that he would be able to bend a whole lot of things so easily. It was very obvious that his allies were lying. "I was only asked to spy on the company, and nothing else. Mr Grande didn't do any harm to Sally's company," Ralia had told the court. It was very obvious that her defence wasn't adding up. But I didn't have any evidence to back up my accusations. The court only asked Mr Grande to compensate my company and killed the case afterwards. "You do not have any solid evidence to back up your plans, Mrs Sally. What do we hold against the accused right now? Your words?"The judge's words pierced my heart. I couldn't stop reminiscing on everything, even though it had been a month already.I felt defeated. I didn't care about the compensation that took Mr Grande days to
CHAPTER NINETY EIGHTALEXANDER My car pulled up in front of a bungalow in a remote part of the city. My driver stepped out of the car to open the door for me and Clinton to walk out of the car. Clinton and I walked ahead while my driver stayed back. He rested against the car while watching us while we went ahead. Clinton and I had been doing underground research about the families for a while, and we finally decided to pay them a visit today. We were at the house of the man who had died. His wife and daughter were the ones who lived in the house. I stood in front of the house and rang the doorbell, then I stayed back and waited for a reply from inside. After a while, the door opened, and a woman stuck her head out of the door. It seemed like they had been living in fear ever since the accident. "Go," she shouted at us as she waved her hands at us. "We just want to talk to you," I told the woman in a pleading manner. She didn't even ask our names or what we wanted. She just ask
CHAPTER NINETY NINE SALLYI had just returned from the meeting with the investors outside the company. I was still fuming after bumping into Alex's father. I was angry about the proud look on his face when I saw him. He even gave me a daring smirk. I shook my head and tried to focus on my work, but since I couldn't focus, I decided to close for the day. I was still packing up my things when I heard a soft knock on my door. The door opened afterwards, and immediately when I turned around, my eyes met Alex's eyes. I sighed deeply, I didn't know why I was excited to see Alex. "Alex," I called, as I walked up to him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, and I stayed in his arms, trying to get over my tough day. He wrapped me securely, and I enjoyed the comfort of his embrace. He finally pulled me away gently and stared into my eyes. "Sally," he called in a calm tone. "Alex," I responded and smiled. "Will you like to eat out with me?" He asked. There was a smile on his face
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ALEXANDER I kept checking my wristwatch after Sally left. What type of press was that? Why was she taking so long in there? I wanted to go check up on her, but I decided to cut myself some slack. I could no longer eat my food. I kept stirring my food around, and I ended up not eating anything from my plate anymore. I decided to check up on Sally since she wasn't back yet, and there was no sign of her coming out of the convenience. I was close enough to the female restroom when I heard her whimpering and wincing softly from outside. I rushed in, only to meet a man tearing her clothes. I pounced on him and began punching him hard, while Sally stayed back watching us and crying. I punched the man so hard that he began to bleed badly. Sally hugged me from behind and began to sob."Alex, please," she pleaded with me. She pulled me up, and I decided to listen to her and just let the man go, even though I felt like killing him at that point. "Take me home," Sally
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONEALEXANDER The next day, Sally and I had breakfast together with Beverly. She seemed to have gotten over what happened. Surprisingly, the breakfast was peaceful. It wasn't always that way. Beverly didn't try to get on Sally's toes as usual, and neither did the two compete against each other. In fact, we ate quietly, and I drove Sally to work afterwards. I bade her goodbye before going to work. When I got to my office, I called Clinton and told him about the man who tried to force himself on Sally. I called in an artiste to quickly sketch him while I described him. I handed the drawing over to Clinton. It was perfect since the artists did a very good job in the drawing. "I want you to make inquiries about him and tell me everything you found out.""Yes, sir," he responded and walked away with the picture.I went back to work, completely forgetting about the fact that I had asked Clinton to get information about the man. I was still busy with work when I
