Challotte Hills was not going to take the humiliation lying low. She called her goons.'Find out who is responsible for the leak of that damn video!' she instructed. The person was going to wish they had never been born when she was through dealing with them. But first, she had to speak with Hector. If I can somehow convince Hector to take me back, then his father shouldn't be a problem, she thought.'Hector', she said as soon as she entered the living room. 'I am sorry for embarrassing you tonight', she said walking up to him and wrapping her arms around his waist from behind and resting her head on his back.'Embarrassing me!' he scoffed. 'You mean humiliating yourself? What has that got to do with me?' he asked.'Right!' she agreed. 'It looked really bad but I am sorry. It will never happen again.Hector flung her hands away from his waist. 'You're damn right', he said, 'it will not happen again because I will not give you the opportunity to embarrass me nor my family again!''What
'Finally!' Valerie said in the darkness of Wayne's room, as she shifted more comfortably on his bed. 'The bitch has decided to bring my man home to me!'Wayne was smiling as he climbed the stairs to his room. The evening had been a huge success at least after the Lyncan king's announcement.They had gone to dinner after convincing Alexa, to cool of steam from. He had enjoyed watching Alexa laugh. So he made jokes after jokes so that she would be distracted from her sorrows and laugh a lot more!He got to his door and stopped. He looked at the door leading to Alexa's room. They had already wished each other goodnight but he felt like seeing her again before he finally retired but hesitated. I don't want her to feel like I am pestering her. Tomorrow is another day, he thought and opened the door to his room.Wayne started unbuttoning his shirt, as he walked towards the wardrobe. He was lost in thought. He did not feel inclined to switch on the light. The moonlight streaming in through
Valerie was shocked. How did Wayne learn of her pregnancy? As he thought no one else knew. She wasn't going to allow his assumptions deter her.'You are surely mistaken!', she said laughing nervously. 'I was never pregnant, unfortunately. It seemed that my sacrifice in marrying your brother was for nought, I regret to say!' she answered sorrowfully. 'But that's not my fault nor was it from lack of trying. I know that I had to endure your brother's touch only by pretending I was with you but I wanted to give him an heir but alas fate had other plans for all of us. I believe we are destined to be together you and I and that's why things turned out the way they did', she said and when kept looking at her, she continued. 'Let's get married soonest so that I can give you an heir at the soonest!'She looked up with shock at him when he started clapping with a smile on his face as he looked at her in a condescending manner.'Bravo!' he said. 'You cannot wait to get married to me now because
'Alexa!' Valerie hissed venomously, as soon as she left Wayne's room and shut the door to her own room. 'This is all your fault! Wayne would not have dreamt of rejecting her so blatantly if that damn woman had not come into his life. 'You shall regret ever crossing my part!' she vowed. She was going to make Alexa pay.Knowing that she could not possibly remain in the same house with Wayne after tonight, she started packing. Filled with fury against Alexa, she dumped the clothes in her box as though she was thrashing the box or held a grievance against the clothes.After packing all her clothes, she shut the box with an angry bang and flung herself on the bed deep in thought. She was restless. She had wanted to stay and leave early next morning but she was too wired up to sleep. Her body needed a male companion. She had been so sure that Wayne was going to satisfy her but he had not only denied her his body, he had outrightly rejected her.Picking up her phone, she dialled a number. I
Alexa was growing restless again and this time, she decided to go see the silver haired man. She wanted to know anything he could tell her about her mother. After her discussion with her father, she had felt a kind of strong bond with her mother and had wanted to know more.She got up and prepared her children for school. Wayne had helped her get them into a very good school, The Blue Breed School. It was very expensive but Wayne had insisted.'Very well, then', she conceded. 'I shall pay for it. The money I get from my business abroad can conveniently take care of that!''You shall do no such thing', Wayne said. 'What do you take me for? You are my guest... my most honoured first and you want to pay the fees of the children I consider mine? I have raised them from the very first minute they came into the world. You shall offend me greatly of you stop me from doing this for them!' he said unhappily.'You have done so much as it is!' she said, imploringly. 'I cannot continue to burden
'Valerie, what is the meaning of this?' Alexa asked, turning to look at her, and straightening up from her squatting position.'What do you mean?' Valerie asked, still having the smug smile on her face.'You know damn well what I mean, Valerie', she said, her tone rising. 'How can you come here and take Landon away without letting the school authorities know and most of all without my permission?''Were you scared?' she asked, leeringly.Alexa was beginning to lose her cool. 'I am not joking here!' she snapped.'Does it look like I am joking?' Valerie asked, eyes blazing. 'Keep away from Wayne, you do not know what I am capable of!''What are you talking about?' Alexa asked.'And she feigns ignorance!' Valerie said impatiently. 'You are really shameless. You already have two children from a previous relationship and instead of you seeing how you can reconcile with the father of your pups, you are trying to climb your way up by stealing my fiance and you claim you do not know what I am
Alexa looked up to find Wayne standing before them. She recalled Valerie's threat and forgot about everything else. She had to get away from Wayne before Valerie saw them together. She could not risk the life of her children for anyone no matter how good they had been to her 'Wayne, why are you here?' she asked, walking away from him.'Alexa, what's the problem?' Wayne asked. 'And who is this man with you?''Dr. Arnold', she said hastily. 'Doc, I'll see you some other time!' Then she quickly climbed into Wayne's car and shut the door. Wayne followed at a slower pace wondering what the problem was. Why was Alexa a ting so strange?The drive home was long with both of them quiet. Alexa kept her face buried in her phone while Wayne kept stealing glances at her. He wanted to ask her why she was acting as though she was angry with him but her demeanor showed she was not ready to speak to him.'She will reveal what is irking her when she is ready', he consoled himself but it did little to
Alexa did not know what made her go to this particular designing company but she did and after looking through her sketches, 'These are good', the personnel manager said, nodding approvingly. 'but I don't have the final say. Keep your fingers crossed. If the chief designer likes your designs, you shall be invited for an interview'.'Thank you very much, sir', Alexa said, gratefully. 'I shall look forward to the interview'.The manager smiled. 'Please call in the next applicant on your way out!' he said, looking into the resume of the next person.As Alexa left, Prince Hector happened to come out of an inner office and was shocked to see her leaving. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't know why but he just didn't want her to see him. What is SHE doing here?' he thought and at the same time felt excited at seeing her in his company.He watched her leave and entered the personnel Manager's office just as the next applicant was going in.'King Hector', he greeted, waving the applicant a
