CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN

SALLY

ABOUT A WEEK LATER

I 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.

    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

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY THREE JAMES It was finally Saturday morning. While I dressed up for dinner with my parents as the family house. I began to contemplate on what Beverly told me.I had disagree immediately and sent Beverly away. The idea seemed to be petty to me. Why would I want to get to Sally through Jessica, her younger sister? If it was Alex, I would have gladly agreed, but Beverly wouldn't want to hurt Alex. So there was no point being petty by trying to Sally by hurting her younger sister.I picked up my car keys and walked out of my room. I didn't want to be at the dinner. Especially since it has been confirmed that Alex would be there. I drove myself to my family house, allowing my driver to race for today. Getting to the house My parents were already waiting for me, and dinner was already fully prepared."Welcome, my son. I am so glad you finally decided to come." I rolled my eyes as I hooked my mum. If only she knew that I didn't come because I wanted to, I

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FOURALEXANDER I was waiting patiently for Sally to return with James. It was taking too long. I turned my wrists around and checked for the time. That was the seventeenth time I was doing if I was not exaggerating. I wondered what was keeping James and Sally for that long.My mum and her husband seemed to be carried away. They didn't seem to notice what was going on. I decided to count to ten. If they didn't come back after I was done with my counting, then I would go look for Sally myself.Even after counting to fifteen, James and Sally were still not back, I didn't trust James with my wife. So I stood up and excused myself from the dining table. I knew the route they took, so I decided to go and find Sally myself. I found it difficult to locate the exact spot they entered. Sally's perfume filled my nose. I decided to trace where the scent was coming from. I finally found the restroom and proceeded towards the room. I was shocked when I walked into

I didn't want the baby to pause my plans. My mom walked out of her room and into mine. She stared at me for a while and shook her head before walking towards the baby. She picked up the baby and walked away. I rolled my eyes after she left. This had been the routine since I came back from the hospital.My mom had been the one taking care of the baby. I didn't care about the baby. I barely even fed him. I could still hear him crying from my mom's room, but I didn't care. I was thinking of how to get Sally out of Alex's life so that I could have him all to myself since James had refused to work with me. I knew I couldn't do it alone. I needed someone to work with me on this.There was another option left, which was killing Sally. The best option was to get rid of her. At least then I would have Al

We were glad that they had to reduce the term he was supposed to serve in prison, seeing that he was good during his stay. I was excited that we would no longer have to frequent the prison with my kids just to say hello to their grandpa."Mom!" Lucy cried as she rushed into the kitchen. "Lucas hit my eyes."I patted her head and whispered, "Sorry," to her.She ran off, feeling excited about the fact that I apologised on behalf of her twin brother. I didn't meddle in their fights. I just apologised on behalf of the other person, and it was okay.I knew that Lucy was more troublesome, but I would never take sides. I didn't want any of them to feel that I loved t

I heard the doctor asking the nurses to chathe the defibrillator. I could feel it on my chest severally. I wanted to just rest. I wished that they would stop trying to revive me and let me be. I could feel my floating body moving up and down without my consent.I thought I was going to die, but the doctors and Alex were not ready to give up on me. They kept trying until I opened my eyes. Alex gasped when he noticed that I opened my eyes. Everything stopped, and everyone stopped moving."Sally," Alex whispered under his breath before rushing towards me. He hugged me tightly and whimpered. There was a celebration in the room. My parents rushed in with Jessica and Diana when they heard the celebrat

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVEALEXANDER Before we got to the hospital with the ambulance carrying Sally, I already called her parents and told them to be on their way there. I had to hold Jessica throughout the journey because she was having a panic attack. She kept asking me if her sister would die. I didn't know how else to assure her that Sally would be fine. 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. She held Sally and began to cry and call out Sally's name. She was pulled away from Sally by the nurses, and they wheeled Sally into the ward where surgery would be conducted on her.Jessica hugged her parents tightly.

She only shut her eyes tightly with her fist clenched. "This is not a toy, Sally," Beverly warned.She intentionally shot at the wall to make Sally see that they weren't joking about killing Jessica if she didn't sign the papers. "One," Beverly counted. Sally was already shaken. She remembered how she felt after hearing the gunshot. When she thought that Beverly killed her sister for real. Her hands were shaking.She knew what Beverly could do, and she could not afford to lose her sister. She knew that she would end up signing the papers even after they killed her sister."Let me have the papers," she requested. James handed the papers to her, and she quickly placed her signature in every single place that it requested.James collected the papers from her. He had a triumphant smile on his fac

I told Clinton what was going on, and he advised that I tried calling Sally again, which I quickly did, but I could not reach her..I became alarmed. I kept calling going Sally's number. Sometimes, it rang, other time, it didn't. I kept trying to reach Sally even though it was getting frustrating. When I called again, it was switched off. This made me stand up to my feet. "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 was sure that I didn't leave any traces, and I was certain that no one followed me down to this place.As I drove, I could feel my hands shaking terribly. A lot ran through my head at the same time. 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 asked Beverly. "We would only release her to you after counting the money and making sure that it is complete."I didn't want to go in with them, but my sister

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. She was smiling, but I could tell that the smile was a fake smile."Morning, love," she

She asked me.I was just smiling at her as I touched her chin. She slapped my hands off."Hold her!" I ordered the driver who had brought her in. He held her hands tightly, and she struggled with him. "Let go of me!" She commanded with so much authority.I grabbed her chin and squeezed her face.She whimpered as she struggled to free herself from my grip, but I wouldn't let her go.
