'Camella', what is this?' Amelia asked her daughter, who was busy polishing her nails.'What is it now, mum?' she asked lazily.'Have you seen the news?' Amelia asked. 'Get you ass here at once!'The tone of her mother's voice caused her to rush to her side and stare at her mother's phone. She saw Alexa standing beside Hector. Her own He Tor and they were both smiling at each other like love sick teenagers. And the crowd was shouting both their names in adulation.'Alexa, that bitch!' Camellia said.'This is what you should be doing but here you are painting your nails!' she snapped at her daughter. 'You will be here and the Lyncan king will get married to her. You cannot even take care of a simple task!''I have tried to do away with that bitch but she escapes everytime!' Camellia said. 'You have not done it the right way. Change your strategies!' her mother said furiously. 'You are going to look on while the work we have done for the past five years - our hard - work will go to w
Alexa woke drenched in sweat. She had that nightmare again She'd been having this nightmare since she saw that doctor who helped her during her delivery. What could it mean? And why did she have to have it now? What triggered it this time? Was it her proximity with the Lyncan king? Or was it the information her father gave her about her half sister and step mother?'It was always the same. A man in lab coat, bending over her, a woman, holding a baby wrapped in a shawl, walking away hurriedly. She always tried to see the face of the woman but she couldn't but on two occasions now, she saw the face of a monster on the body of the woman and the monster was looking jeeringly at her, the strange thing was that the monster's jeering expression was frightening, yet familiar. Why was it so familiar?She got up and wiped the perspiration on her forehead. Thank goodness it was Saturday and she could afford to didn't have to hurry to take her pups to school and she because it was a weekend, wor
The sound of heels caused Alexa to lift her head from her computer where she was busy creating a design. She was shocked when she saw who it was.'Ah, if it isn't my whore of a sister!' Camellia said as soon as she saw Alexa.Everyone in the office raised their heads and looked at the direction the new person was staring.'Camellia, what are you doing here?' she asked, fully aware she had come to cause her some form of problems, her father's warning still ringing in her ears.'I don't need your permission to come and work here!' she said and looking round, she addressed the rest of the staff. 'I am the fiancee of Mr. Hector Harrison who this bitch has been cozying up to!'That brought on alot of comments from Alexa's detractors, headed by Elaina and Pamela.'She's the Lyncan king's fiancee?' Elaine said, 'Wonderful!' Then looking at Alexa gloatingly, thought, 'now, you have really got yourself into deep shit!''I said it. Now, nemesis has caught up with her!' Pamela said as Elaine bea
'Can you send one one to bring the footage so that we can check who the liar is?' Alexa asked, enjoying the uncomfortable look on their faces.Before Hector could do anything Mr. Potter came out and from a look from Hector, said, 'I shall go for the security footage myself, now!'The Lyncan king was also filled with admiration but did his best to look stern.'My King', Camellia said. 'I am not feeling too well and don't think I can withstand this crowd and noise anymore. Let her be. She is my sister afterall!' Then looking at Mr. Potter, you are the manager here, and you received me well just now. I don't want to put you through the stress of checking out anything. Let's forget about all this and forge ahead'. Then to Alexa, 'I forgive you sister. But try and let's work in peace and harmony from now henceforth for the good and progress of this establishment'. Feigning a faint, and being caught by Hector, 'Carry me away from here', she said and Alexa shook her head exasperatedly. How
Hector pushed her away. 'We might have a son together but I have to tell you the truth, I do not want you!' he said. 'I am sorry but that is the truth'''That was not the impression I had that night five years ago', she protested, coming close to him again.'You were drugged and I was not really in my senses as well, so how could you tell?' he asked'Who do you want then?' she asked, dodging his question. 'It cannot be Challotte, you couldn't condole her cheating and you have never seen her other than as a sister in any case', she said, looking shrewdly at him. 'You are not gay, else we would not have had that night. So it can only be that the rumors making the rounds that you and my half sister are an item is actually true!''What nonsense!' he said. 'I can see that you are no longer scared of me. You think you can speak to me anyhow and question my actions. I do not want you and neither do I want to marry you. Are you going to make me?''Hector, I am sorry if my assumptions have ant
Alexa was shocked. So he heard it all? Idiot! Of course he did. How else would he had known what she said? He must have been listening in on them for a long time and they had been blissfully unaware. 'I only said that because I wanted to provoke Camellia. She was accusing me falsely, implying that I was trying to seduce you, most probably because of the news showing the both of us present at the construction site!''So you did not mean it?' he asked, disbelievingly, ignoring the other things she said. 'You are not trying to take me from her?''Why would I?' she countered.Her question was a blow to his pride and got him angry and he wondered why the thought that she didn't want him annoyed him so much or the thought of her enjoying another man's company for that matter.'Is that the reason you invited me for dinner?' she asked indignantly. 'Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass!' She was walking out of the office obviously angry when he called her back.'Is it because of Wayne?' he asked
'Hello, Alexa', she heard as she picked her phone without bothering to check the caller ID.'Wayne, it's you', she said, quickly looking at the caller ID to make sure the name matched the voice.'Were you expecting someone else?' he asked.She had actually thought it was the Lyncan king calling to perhaps remind her of their date.'I am now working and I have colleagues who call often', it wasn't totally a lie, Jenny called her often, though she had not asked her home, she had as still keeping her children a secret but she was planning on telling her about them. She was starting to trust her and felt that she would be able to help her out with them during the weekends at least but for now, she was just Alexa, an unmarried designer to everyone.'Oh, right!' he said. 'How are my cute pups?' he asked.'Well, I'm at home right now, and they are not asleep. Do, you can speak to them', Alexa offered. She knew that Wayne missed the children just like they missed him too.'Wonderful. Put the
Alexa got to the venue of the dinner date and looked around the hotel, searching for Hector. Her eyes soon locked with his as he stood, mouth agape, pure admiration in his eyes.She had wanted to wear one of her business suits but on second thoughts, she had decided on a real dinner gown. It a sparkling green hugging gown that showed off her fair skin to perfection, complimenting her green eyes with its yellow flakes. The gown boosted her confidence which was what she intended because she did not know what kind of client they were meeting tonight.The Lyncan king could not believe his eyes. The eyes sparked up a memory of that drunken night years ago but it couldn't be. His imagination was playing tricks on him just like the lights in that room.He drew out a chair for her and she sat down. 'Thank you!' she said.'This is Mr. Benjamin Picker of the Picker Bank International ', Lyncan king Hector said by way of introduction. Mr. Picker, Miss Palmer, my secretary!'Alexa looked at him
