Jamie knew beforehand that she wasn't safe any longer, she had lesser chances of survival right here in the Fax family house most especially with Xavier finally present. She stayed in her room and waited for everything to end, she missed Alice but knew calling her at this point could put them in danger so she didn't dare. Jamie thought of what would happen after the dinner. Since Rita had caught her in George's office discussing issues of an apartment to be bought in Alice's name, she has always reminded her one thing. "Xavier will be back before you know it and bet it he will make you suffer for your sins. You will pay for everything and anything you have ever done to me, just get yourself ready" These she always said. Rita had saw it as an inappropriate thing to do via fighting or beating Jamie up when she knows that job made easy was on the way or rather still she feared hitting Jamie again cause after the last time she had attempted such, it came back as a heavy blow to her fac
Alice slept quietly all through the night and with the help of the drinks, she couldn't get her head up and out of the bed even as she had woken up. She waited for Theo to come knowing fully well that he would be knocking at her door as soon as possible. A few minutes later, Theo came knocking at Alice's door as expected. He accessed the room even without Alice responding to him, just like Theo would always make Alice a hangover soup just for drinking into a stupor last night, here he was with a place of handover soup and some side dishes. Alice laid still, she didn't move her body not because she didn't want to but because she couldn't. The headache she had was a result of last night's scream and stress from the dinner house. Knowing that Alice came back only to engage herself in a drinking session made everything worse."Good morning Babe" Theo greeted as he dropped the tray on top of the bedside cupboard and faced Alice while waiting for her to sit up on the bed."Fine morning hon
William couldn't help but watch the drama between Theo and the guy that just came in and surprisingly the guy kissed Theo right in front of him. Liam's mind went off, he had never imagined another person kissing Theo talk more of being an eye witness to the scene. He got so pissed as he saw the guy looking at him with his sides eyes."Oh I guess you are doing this because of me?" Liam thought to himself, he kinda was talking to the guy with his eyes but since he didn't want to speak up he only decided to keep quiet."And who is this Theo?" Both voices were heard. Theo got confused to a point that he couldn't detect or say what was going on. First of all Liam showing up at his place asking for forgiveness with hugs and kisses were all on a different level but with Tony appearing from no where, approaching him with a kiss was also another level as well and the most confusing part was, "Tony had made it clear to me that he doesn't do guys so what now happened? What changed? Or did he get
Dominic drove into the compound and to the parking lot, they departed out of the car and went consecutively into the living room. Valentino thought of telling Dominic what had connived between him and Emiliana's father."So, Mr. Henry imperiled to eliminate anything that would impede Emiliana from getting married to me"Valentino spilled."What? I mean who the f**k do these people think they are? First, it was Emiliana and now it's the father. We need to start working towards the plan before things get out of hand" Dominic was losing his cool, getting tensed and worked up. They had to play off with these plans of theirs "Say something boss""OK let's do this" Valentino had to think back to what his father had said to him but then again thinking can spoil things for them so he had to do this his way. Dominic rushed into his room, Went straight to his mirror table in search of something. He had to find this now and there it was, he took the tablet and went back to the living room where V
Theo walked up to the space where Alice and Josh were, he noticed they were discussing about something but wasn't sure on how serious it was and how far they have gone with what every they were talking about."Hi am Theodore" Theo walked "So Theo what relationship do you have with Alice?" Josh asked with a grin on his face. Alice didn't know why Josh was acting cocky which was really pissing her off.Theo thought of the question and reasons why Josh would ask such a question "I am Alice's…….." Theo smiled as he looked at Alice which she smiled back to him. Before Theo could reply to Josh's question Alice beat him to it."Theo is my husband" Alice said to Josh. She chuckled at sound of her saying she had a husband.Josh immediately felt a sting in his heart being pulled which cause a slight but painful tint on his chest. He was slowly getting to like Alice but the ideal of Alice never being his was all lit if place which he couldn't take. Josh felt the jealousy build up to his throat
Days went by, the dinner date was made and sent to Alice by Jamie. Alice had patiently waited inside the comfort of her house for the dinner day to come by quickly and finally, here it was "The D-Day".Yesterday, before Alice had gotten the message, she was busy with her laptop setting up for another contract to be signed when she got a message beep in her phone. Without much expectation, she picked up the phone and looked up the sender's information, and behold it was from her Mom. Right there in an instant, she knew it was time she got to meet with these half family of hers. Most especially her supposed to be "Stepbrothers". Only at the thought of having a stepbrother, Alice rolled her eyes ironically.She dropped her laptop on the couch, and approached Theo's room, even without a knock she was always welcomed so she barged in without knocking on the door."Guess what?" Alice sat comfortably on Theo's bed. The young man sat up and dropped his laptop to focus on Alice."What?" Alice
Alice was a bit surprised to see the sender's name "From Valentino". She wasn't expecting this but she kinda knew it was going to be for something anyways. Alice opened the box and unwrapped the surface of the stuff to get a better view of what was inside. Finally, she got to the point where you could see what was inside, and surprisingly it was a lemon strapless dress with some matching jewelry. She couldn't believe that Valentino sent her the dress, so she stood to her feet and dragged the dress ripped out of the box only to see that it was a short dress which made it look sexier and more like her style. "This looks beautiful" Theo came out screaming from his room."How did Valentino get to pick out something this unique?" Alice turned over to face Theo as he approached her."Right! It looks exactly like my style" Alice smiled and put the dress on her body just to see how much the color blends in with her skin. Theo went closer to the box, looked into it, and saw some special jewelr
Night has more quiet hours than the day. Valentino lets Alice sleep over at his place despite knowing that he could actually send her home while Theo comes out and carries her into their home but for some reason, he felt like holding her back which he did. He laid Alice comfortably in the guest room as much as he didn't want to leave the place, he also had no other choice than to allow her to sleep. He firstly stared at Alice from her eyes to her nose and from her nose to her lips then it was a stop.He recalled the kiss that they had shared earlier on, the kiss had brought him back from his misery. He wished to kiss Alice's lips again but not without her permission of course. Valentino felt like a stalker right now so he had to leave to avoid making Alice feel like his crippy. He walked to his kitchen, took some water and left for his room. On second thoughts, he thought Alice might be a bit hungry so he ran out to the kitchen once again and made her something to eat then carried it
Alice moved over to the canter and sat down with her jaws resting on her hand. She kept up with thinking of what to make for dinner, nothing was coming to mind so she sluggishly stood up, ran to her room, took her purse and a jacket, and moved out of the house. Alice ran to the nearest convince store where she picked out a huge amount of vegetables, more beef, Chicken, and ingredients for Beef Stew.She carried the stuff to the canter where the cashier stood and waited up for her."Hello dear, how are you today?" Alice walked up to the canter only to see an old woman who was smiling at her, she smiled back in response to the woman's nice gestures."Am fine and you?" Alice placed all her stuff on the canter as she had little by little chit-chat."Am okay thank you" The old woman smiled at Alice as she started checking the stuff she had brought. Once she was done with it, she put everything in a nylon bag and handed them over to Alice while Alice brought out her pay card and handed them
STILL ON THEODORE'S POV.Waking up to the bright sun bricking its way into my room and a heavy object placed on my legs made me so uncomfortable. I tried moving the object on my leg first to get away from the sun but it seemed a bit impossible because the object was too huge to be carried away without much effort. So I raised my head to see what the object was, only to notice they were two pairs of someone's legs. "ALICE?" I wasn't surprised cause I recalled immediately what happened late at night, so I only smiled and then tried to wake her up but Alice being her, merely shaking her couldn't wake her up no matter how hard you called her so I had to push her not intentionally down from the mattress but it happened. Falling flat on the ground also surprised knew that I wasn't going scout-free on this one. I had to try sneaking away but she caught me anyway.Running around the living room with Alice right behind me trying to catch and deal with me was another level of exercise, she qui

There was a moment of silence after Alice had mentioned about the dinner with the Fax family to Theo. At this point Theo was speechless, he glanced at Alice for a while before getting his voice back."Will you be in attendance?" That was the only question that could come to Theo's mind right now. He wasn't ready to think because it would only turn out to be disastrous considering his current state of mind."Not having dinner with the Fax family is the deal No she said Hillary Holla was going to be in attendance as well, my question is, As What? Why should he be there?" Alice was quietly regaining her thinking, she knew Theo wouldn't have the perfect answer to her questions but she had to ask them out even though not to Theo."Wait, let's get things straight. Your mom called to inform you that you are being invited to a family dinner party with people that don't even consider you one and that Hillary Holla, that dickhead, will be in attendance? Right?" Alice nodded her head in response
Valentino watched Alice swing her hips as she left his house, he didn't know how and what to feel or think."What the f**k" was the only thing he could say, he was not sure if he should be angry or happy that Alice made him feel that way. Valentino sat still for a while. He tried so much to control his orge of dragging Alice back and kissing the hell out of her as a lesson never to play with fire but he had to avoid creating a scene, shook his head off the thoughts of her. He was only sexually attracted to her because had not been there for years now and didn't know what he was missing. At least that was what he thought."Boss, you should start explaining who the damn hell is she" Dominic couldn't wait to hear what was going on from Valentino so he started soliciting him once again immediately he saw Alice was out of panorama and his queries brought Valentino back and out of his thinking. He stood up and commenced going up the stairs to his office knowing wholly that Dominic was going
On getting to the address, Liam wasn't sure if he could ever believe that Theo lived in a mansion like this. He stood all around the place but couldn't find any human beings, beings as desperate as he was he decided to wait until someone showed up at the place. Liam sat outside the house, receiving the cool breeze of the place just as he waited. He slowly fell in love with how peaceful the place could be. Besides that Liam had to think of a way to make Theo give him what had happened between them, he just couldn't get his mind off Theo.Sooner than later, a lady came out from the house and saw Liam sitting on the floor right in front of the gate. She approached him only to notice that she had not seen his face ever before and wasn't sure if he was a friend of Miss. Alice or Mr. Theodore."Hey, Greetings young man, how may I help you?" She asked as she got to where he was sitting. Liam at first watched the lady speak, he wasn't sure of what to think of right now. With a confusing expre
Valentino was all set for the day, he wore a black suit with a colorful tire, standing at the front of his house in wait for Alice's arrival. Not long after he came outside, a black limousine entered the house."Hi, Valentino '' Alice whispered as she saw him come into the car seat beside her. She held a big smile that almost felt fake on her lips, she stared at Valentino for God knows how long and fit what reason. "I think getting to look at a handsome man could help relieve stress." Thinking of these words she was screaming in her head made her laugh out a bit which made Valentino look her way. Alice only waved at him before he could stop staring."So where are we headed?" Alice questioned."To an audition, where mostly all influential men will be in attendance and expected to be all lovey-dovey in their presence. The act is mostly needed because knowing fully well that we are newly wedded, that's how we are to appear and not the other way round" Valentino explained while Alice list
It was a new day, the sun was not as bright as it used to be. Instead, it had the cloud take its place. One can't get to know the direction the sun was headed but daily activities of life have to go on with or without the sunset.Theo woke up to his eyes all puffed regarding the tears shedding from last night. He had a little headache which made him wish to stay in bed for a longer while and he did but was no longer sleeping. He recalled back on what had happened last night, the mysterious dinner meeting with his family. He took his phone and checked what the time said and it was eight minutes past eight. He tried standing up but got shaken down to his bed by dizziness, with his eyes rolling like he had entered a rolling wheel.Alice woke up earlier but couldn't hear a sound from Theo's room which shows that he was yet to wake up. She knew it was not likely for her to wake up before Theo so maybe he's got sick from the heartbreaks of last night. She immediately packed her hair up in a
Mrs. Annabella's eyes drifted immediately from Alice to her son at the sound of his voice. Her eyes became weary only looking at her son made her remember what he went through a day ago." My baby" She hurriedly went closer to Valentino's bed and hugged him so tight that he couldn't make a sound."M..om. Am…choki..ng" He struggled the words out of his lips which caused Mr. Daniel to break out into laughter and Alice only smiled while watching the love flowing between them. Alice couldn't smile anymore just as she was reminded of her mom who had been held as a prisoner. She stumbled out of the room as she was at the edge of tears. Mrs. Annabelle was a bit surprised why Alice moved away the way she did but she didn't stress it though "Maybe she had to use the restroom urgently" She thought to herself and then moved her focus back on her son."How do you feel Baby?" "Am better mom, can we please go home today I can't spend another night here in this stuffy hospital." Valentino's voice go
