CHAPTER SEVENTY FOURALEXANDER The next day at the office, Clinton walked into my office with a document. "Here," he said as he pushed the documents to me. "I found a few records from what you asked yesterday."I took the document from Clinton and began to scan through it quickly as my eyes searched for keywords. "So, it is true?" I asked Clinton. "It is true," Clinton replied calmly. "Sadly, this is true. I wished it wasn't as well, but it is."I sighed deeply and ran my hand around my face and hair. I felt so weak at that point. "I'm sorry," Clinton apologised, seeing how weak the news made me. I fell into my couch and buried my face in my palm. "I'd be in my office," Clinton said and walked away from my office. I picked up the documents and began to scan through them again. I kept gulping down saliva. "How could my dad be so inconsiderate?" I questioned myself. It was hard to believe that he could do something like this? How could he sweep the loss of a life under the ca
CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVEWILLIAM GRANDEThe disappointed look that Alex gave to me before leaving angered me. He walked away without turning back, and I watched him while I gritted my teeth. Alex was such a coward. I wondered where he got his cowardice from. His mom was never a coward, and that was the reason I chose her to bear my son.I would have concluded that she gave me a child that wasn't mine, but we conducted a DNA with my doctors after she gave birth, and he was mine. What was going on?Someone who had a lion hearted father and a mother who could abandon her son forever for money. Alex wasn't acting like we were his parents. I decided to carry my cross alone. I pulled out my phone and dialled the number of my colleagues in crime. "Popo!" I hailed him immediately after he picked up. "Any deal?" He asked me. I walked to my couch and sat there. I crossed my legs and spread my arms around my couch. I wanted to walk into a restaurant and get something to eat, but after what ha
CHAPTER SEVENTY SIXSALLYI walked back to my car, feeling a bit disappointed that Alex's father didn't accept my offer. I wondered how he knew that I would come there. He didn't act surprised at all. In fact, he acted as though he had been expecting me all along. I ended up getting the shock of my life rather than shocking Mr Grande. It angered me that I didn't achieve my aim. I began to ask myself who told him about it. My eyes widened in sudden realisation. Who else if it wasn't Alex?"That jerk!" I cursed him. I got into my car and drove to my office. I was very infuriated, but I tried to calm myself down. I paced my office with my finger in my mouth. I knew that Mr Grande was right. I could not do anything with the document I had because they were not enough evidence. I knew I needed something stronger to back up my plans. I paced the office while still biting my fingers as I began to rack my brain for ways to get evidence against Alex's father. He had to pay for his crim
CHAPTER SEVENTY SEVEN SALLY I suddenly decided to record my conversation with the spy as evidence against her in the future. I picked up my camera, walked up to my shelve, and hid it there. Although I covered the phone with a few books, I made sure that the camera was open. I walked back to my office and sat there innocently. The door soon opened after a slight knock, and Alicia came in with the girl. I wore an insincere smile on my face as she walked in. "You can sit," I offered her a seat in front of me. She grabbed the chair and settled on it. Her body was shaking slightly, and I could tell at once that she was really scared. Alicia sat down on the couch beside the door. "How are you doing, pretty lady?" I asked her with a smile. She smiled back at me shyly. She looked really young and innocent for the evil she was perpetrating. "I'm fine, ma'am, " she responded with a shaky voice. "Why have you called me. "I patted her chin. "I can see you are very hard working," I co
CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHTALEXANDER I opened the door and walked into the sitting room, only to see Beverly standing in front of Sally with her hand on her chin. Sally was staring down at Beverly with rage in her eyes. Beverly turned around, and when she saw me, she burst out into tears and rushed towards me. She hugged me tightly and buried her face in my chest as she continued to sob for a while. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "Sally slapped me," she cried out. I lifted my gaze to look at Sally. She cast me a glare that I could not explain before she began walking away. "I am so sorry about that," I apologised, and tried to walk away, but she dragged my arm. "Why are you walking away just like that? You are supposed to call Sally back and still her for slapping me."I turned around and faced her. "I already apologised to you, right? Why are you being difficult then?" I asked her. "Sally should be punished for her offence," Beverly insisted. "I know that Sally would not just hi
CHAPTER SEVENTY NINESALLYI lay in my bed thinking about what transpired between Alex and I a while ago. A smile played on my lips nonstop as I thought about it. Alex offered me support. It meant so much to me, and I would not take it for granted. I felt loved. And u felt special. The way he defended me against Beverly also made me smile. I had stopped to listen to their conversation. In fact, I was quiet the whole time because I didn't want Alex to know what I felt. I didn't want him to realise that I felt good about the whole thing. I kept smiling until I finally fell asleep. ***The next morning, I decided to eat breakfast before leaving for my office. I met Beverly seated at the table already eating breakfast.I wondered why she bothered about waking up early. I wouldn't even care about waking up early if I was jobless like her. I walked to the dining and asked the maid to serve me. "I hope you are preparing to leave? Your flight would be here in a few hours," I said sarcas
CHAPTER EIGHTYSALLYI tried to push Alex away, but he grabbed my hands and dropped them down. Alex locked his lips with mine and began to kiss me hard. He stuck his tongue into my mouth and began to suck on my lips. I kissed him back for a while, sticking my tongue into his mouth as well. I suddenly remembered that I was in a hurry and pushed him away quickly. Alex stared at me as I hurried out of the house and drove straight to the restaurant. I walked to the small hotel and stood outside for a while. I peeped through the door and saw the woman seated in front of an empty table. I turned on my camera and walked into the restaurant. After taking my seat, I stylishly held my phone up, with my hands on the table. I tried not to stare at the screen so she wouldn't notice that I was recording her. "Why did you ask to meet with me?" I asked her. "I would only tell you if you give me half a million dollars," she requested. I didn't respond immediately, so she continued talking. "An
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONE SALLYThe video of the woman who had caused the scandal played on my screen with Alicia and I seated in front of the screen watching the video. "Your husband's father is really evil," Alicia scoffed as he watched the video. The scorn on her face proved that she was really angry with Alex's father. We watched the video to the very end, and Alicia played the video in a fast forward mode. After watching the video, she paused it and faced me. "This is a very good weapon in our hand," Alicia told me. I nodded in agreement. "This would have a great effect on Alex's father. We could use it wisely and make something out of it.""We could also reproduce the cream, but that would be after sorting the issue and clearing the air.""You are right, Alicia. The company would put that into consideration."I was hopeful that this would work. While we were still pondering on the issue, Alicia's phone began to ring. "Excuse me," she told me and picked up the call. She listene
