CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE

SALLY

I stretched on my bed and yawned loudly. I turned around, only to see that it was already day break. My head was aching really bad, and I only realised that when I sat up, and bent slightly to pick up my shoes.

I had stayed up all night crying, and now I am facing the consequence of not sleeping at night. I placed my right hand on my forehead and massaged my head a little.

I stood up from the bed and walked towards the fridge for a bottle of milk. I opened the fridge, and it was empty of what I needed. I shut it and decided to get something from the kitchen instead.

I moved my eyes to the wall clock and was a little surprised to see that it was almost ten in the morning. I overslept.

I walked downstairs and met Beverly seated on the couch, watching the news being displayed on the large screen. It was the news about Alex's father's arrest. My eyes widened.

I wasn't expecting the arrest to be this quick, seeing how difficult it was to get hold of h

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN SALLYI walked into the courthouse with my fingers tightly locked with Alex's fingers. I was nervous for a whole lot of reasons. We have been here before, and the outcome wasn't pleasant at all. I didn't want a repetition of that. I was also nervous because I knew that Alex was not okay, and he wouldn't be after the case came to an end. "You know that you don't have to be here if you don't want to, right?" Alex told me.I smiled. I should be the one telling him that he could choose not to be here because he was the one who would get more hurt in the end. "You don't have to bother about me," I told Alex. "I'd be fine."The matter of the defamation of my company and my name was brought up again during the court hearing. The prosecutor requited the forger voice note that was provided by Mr Grande. I wouldn't have been happier. I was staring at Alex the whole time. He didn't look at me once. His eyes were fixed on the judge, but I knew he was lost in thoug

    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENALEXANDER I felt the presence of my dad immediately when he was led out of the courtroom, and my heart sank into my stomach when I turned around and saw him. I wasn't used to living without him around and free. He would be there for a long time, and I couldn't do it alone. I suddenly realised that I hadn't made any effort to find out who my mom was, and it was time to know the truth. I rushed towards my father and hugged him tightly, ignoring the multiple cops who tried to separate us. "I love you so much, Dad," I confessed. He chuckled lightly. "I know that," he told me. "I know you're going to realise that someday. "I pulled away from the hug gently and turned to the cops. People had gathered around to watch the drama unfold between my dad and me. "Please, I need to know my mom," I pleaded with him. He giggled. He didn't seem surprised that I asked. Instead, he seemed amused. I wondered what was amusing about the fact that I wanted to know who

"I can't make it to the meeting, as I'll be representing you in a meeting at the office."I sighed deeply. "It's fine."I leaned backwards and closed my eyes. It didn't take too long for the cab to finally get to its destination. The cab pulled up in front of one of the most famous restaurants around. I opened my eyes immediately when I noticed the cab stop.I thanked the cab driver after I walked down and went straight into the restaurant. It wasn't much of a stress searching for James as I saw him immediately after I walked in. He was seated alone on a table with a bottle of water and an empty glass in front of him. He was on his phone. I looked around for his guards, his colleagues, or even his assistant. I didn't see anyone around, so I just walked ahead. "Hello," I greeted James immediately as I took my sea

When I got home, I freshened up before going to Alex's room. I forgot completely about the documents and went to stay with Alex in his room. I tried to be by his side and also to give him a shoulder to cry on."I tried to ask my dad about my mom, and she said he's close to me," Alex informed me. I narrowed my eyes as I quickly considered the thoughts of Diana being Alex's mom. I killed the thoughts immediately. It was probably just a coincidence. Alex nagged about Diana being a pest and how he wasn't sure about what she was up to and why she was acting the way she was. "You have to calm down, love," I told him. Alex lay on my shoulders as he tabled one issue after the other. I made him feel relaxed in my arms. "You know she's not that bad," I told Alex. "You should give her audience. ""I would ne

"Hello, Mr Grande," he greeted, stretching his hands towards me. I opened my thirty-two wide, letting out a sarcastic smile as I stretched my hands to take his. He pulled his hands away before mine could touch it. Snickered, and walked away. I turned to Sally, who immediately took my hands in hers, and gave it a gentle squeeze. I forced out a smile, and we walked to the dining together. Everyone else began to eat almost immediately after settling. Sally seemed a bit comfortable around there. I noticed the eye signal between Diana and Sally.Diana seemed a bit tense. Her husband held her hand and kissed it gently before excusing himself. I decided to ignore everyone else and just eat. "Alex," Diana suddenly called after clearing her throat. I was beginning to enjoy the meal, and she wanted to ruin

I haven't had the chance to make food for Alex as promised because of the too many activities taking my time, but this time, I would. I intentionally closed work earlier so that I would be able to make Alex dinner. "Pass me the salt," I asked the kitchen assistant as I began to prepare dinner. Someone else sliced the vegetables while she helped me with stuff when I needed them. It was getting late, and I kept peeping out of the window to see Alex driving into the compound, but there was no sign of him. I was damn worried. Why wasn't he back at this time yet. I walked into the dining room and picked up my phone from the table. I pressed the screen, and it was almost eleven at night. I unlocked my phone and opened my phone book. I tapped on Alex's number. Before dialling it, I shook my head and placed the phone back o

I paced my room with my pointer finger in my mouth. The way Sally led Alex into his room, and they were still there after about three hours. I had stayed up till this time just to see the two of them happy together. My eyes caught the small bottle on my table, and a smile quickly appeared on my face. I grabbed it and walked out of the room. I went straight to my spy's room. I opened the door without knocking. She was already asleep with her roommates. I tapped her gently and closed her mouth tightly immediately after tapping her. "Shush," I said. I held her and led her out of the room. "What is it this time?" She demanded as she pushed my hands off her body. "I need you again," I told her. She hissed and placed her hands on her waist. "It would be payment before service this time," she told me. I scowled.

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 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.

"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.

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?"

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.
