CHAPTER FIFTY ONESALLY"Park, please," I pleaded with the taxi driver. I didn't want to walk into my father's house looking this way. I was deeply hurt. I expected everything from Alex, but not him trying to steal my company. Why would he hurt me so badly?What hurt the most was the fact that I loved Alex. I loved him so much and would never hurt a hair on his skin, but he went ahead and did the opposite to me. What have I done to deserve this kind of treatment from Alex? Was this the reason he married me?Was he pretending to be nice to me all these while? He was probably trying to make up. Or, he was trying so hard to stop me from suspecting him. I sobbed as hard as I could, ignoring the taxi driver who was staring at me through the front mirror."Are you okay, ma'am?" He asked me. I shook my head. "I had a fight with the man I love," I told him. "He hurt me so deeply. So deeply that I do not think I can forgive him.""I'll drive you to a more quiet place, so you can let it
CHAPTER FIFTY TWOWILLIAM GRANDE (Alexander's Dad.)I was relaxing in my sitting room with a bottle of wine when my door burst open and Mr Anderson walked into my sitting room. "Drew," I called with a smile as I stood up to my feet. "Why do you seem so vexed? Why did you berge into my house like that?"I took a step forward as I watched Mr Anderson walking towards me with his eyes flared up. He wasn't smiling at all, and he didn't say a word. "Come, let's have a drink together, " I offered."To hell with you and your drink, William! To hell!"I tilted backwards a bit with a narrowed gaze. "What is going on?" I asked him. "Your son has always been a bastard without a mother, but I never knew he would go this far.""Watch your tongue!" I shouted at William as I pointed into his face. I knew how those words hurt my son, even when he was little. I killed a few people who mentioned his mom and made him cry. Mr Anderson wouldn't be an exception if he decided to be an idiot. "Do not s
CHAPTER FIFTY THREEBEVERLY"And this looks nice to you?" I shouted at the berger seated in front of my compound. He tried to touch me, but I pushed him away."Don't you dare touch me!" I warned him. "Ma'am," he knelt in front of me. "Please help me with something to feed with."I hissed and walked into my compound. He tried to follow me but I banged the door at his face. "Fool!" I cursed.I walked into my house and sank into my couch. I placed my left foot on my knee and began to squeeze it gently. I had walked all the way to the pharmacy to get drugs for my headache, but I wasn't able to get anything. I didn't even get to the pharmacy before changing my mind. I walked back home with the hope of just sleeping and forgetting that I had a headache. Everything annoyed me. I wasn't even sure if I was okay or not. I stood up and walked into my kitchen. Maybe if I ate something, I'd feel better. My phone began to ring, and I picked it up quickly. I placed my phone beside my ear.
CHAPTER FIFTY FOURALEXANDER I was now seated on my couch with my dad's question tugging in my head. "Was I in love with Sally now?"I shook my head. There was no way it was possible that I had feelings for her. It was just like other women whom I had sex with in the past. All I did was feel attracted to them, hook up with them, and have sex with them. I have never liked any of them. But why was I trying to protect her from my dad and help her get her company?I had answers to all the questions that my second self threw at me. The only reason I wanted my dad to stop whatever he was doing was because it was childish, and I didn't want to end the marriage yet. Everyone would know that it was all a planned marriage. I didn't want that to happen. I still had a lot of investors who I wanted to impress with my marriage. I already began to adapt to Sally. I didn't want another woman in my house for any reason. I was still thinking so hard when the door suddenly opened. I sat up with
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVESALLY"Look who's here," Jessica shouted excitedly as she jumped on me. "Where have you been?" I asked as I pulled her slowly away from the hug. I was resting in my room and trying to get over the fact that Alex caused my doom when the door suddenly opened, and she walked in. "I had to return Kitty's book," she informed me. "Your husband was here a while ago."She walked to my bed, sat there, and cast me a naughty glare. "I'm sure he began to miss you so much, thirty seconds after you left the house."I smiled. I sat beside Jessica, and she turned to me with a serious look. "Your eyes are swollen," she noted. "Are you okay?"I knew that I had to keep whatever was going on away from Jessica. She shouldn't know about it. She was too young to be bothered with all those thoughts. "I'm okay," I told Jessica and forced a smile for her to see that I was truly fine. "Are you sure?" She asked me. I nodded. She hugged and pecked me before she stood up and ran out o
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXALEXANDER I stood there watching Sally and James as they walked upstairs. I folded my fist and pressed my lips hard against each other. I watched them until they walked into Sally's room before I turned around and left the house. I turned around to leave when I heard someone call my name. I turned around, and it was Sally's mom. I stood at the spot and waited for her to get close enough so I'd hear her out. "I don't ever want to see you here, or anywhere close to my daughter," she warned. "If you insist, I'd have to call the cops on you."I nodded slowly and dragged my feet out of the house. I got into my car and drove off. I promised myself that I would never go back to Sally's house or try to converse with her and explain myself. The did had already been done, and that was what mattered the most. I wondered why I was bothering so much about Sally and trying to build back a marriage that wasn't true to begin with. A planned marriage that we both entered into
CHAPTER FIFTY SEVENBEVERLY Immediately when I walked into Alex's house, my smile broadened. I felt relaxed, and I felt like it was truly my house. So this was what Sally kept to herself alone?I promised myself that as long as I had stepped foot into this house with my belongings, I would never leave. "Hey," I called out to one of the maids who had just walked down the stairs. She walked towards me and bowed in front of me with a surprised look in her eyes. "Get another maid and bring my luggage in. I'd be right back.""But..."She opened her mouth to speak, but I lifted my palm, and she went mute. "Do as I say, or you'd get your belongings thrown to the street."I walked out of the house after laying down my orders. I walked towards the car that was parked outside the gate. The same car that drove me to Alex's house. My reporter friend and I had become partners in crime. We both needed each other, so we simply gave one another whatever we wanted. She opened the car door, a
CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTSALLY"How are you doing?" James asked me. We were now seated on my bed. The last time James and Alex had a fight at James's party, I had plans to talk to him about getting friendly with my husband. But right now, I didn't care if they fought in the public market and destroyed peoples stuff. I already concluded that I would never have anything to do with Alex anymore. The marriage was over. "I've been trying to get over what happened," I told James. The maid soon appeared with a tray. There were two glasses and a bottle of wine in the tray. "I so sorry you had to go through this," he apologised. I smiled. "It's not your fault.""I understand what you're going through right now. Believe me when I say I understand exactly how it feels like to be hurt by someone you truly love and trust."I sighed and buried my head. There was a pause for a while."What are your plans?" James finally broke the silence. "Are you going to divorce Alex now?"The question came as
