Grandma Lilly couldn’t move a muscle, she stood frozen on the ground. She didn’t know whether to move forward or backwards, her heart was beating too fast in anxiety. She didn’t have any knowledge kids when she made the journey and didn’t know the ones with Alexander outside either but she was too anxious to go outside and found that out for herself. Alice smiled a bit and she gave her a little reassurance nod. Grandma sighed once more and allowed the beautiful stranger drag her along to the backyard.Immediately they got out of the door, she came across a scene she never excepted in all the remaining years of her life. The backyard of the house was very impressive, they were a lot of flowers, trees and a huge canopy occupying the other side of the backyard where no tree nor flowers was planted. Under the enlarged canopy was a luxurious looking lounge sitting set with a grill at the far end of the lounge. The entire environment was serene but also smells so good because of the meat, ve
Lilly hissed angrily at Alexander ,”then how is it? When did you plan on telling me that you got married again and you have two children?! When?! After I’m dead and in my grave?!”, she questioned him distastefully. Alexander tried to open his mouth severally to defend himself but couldn’t bring himself to utter a word. He was speechless, he was also confused about what grandma was on about but Grandma Lilly wasn’t done yet.“Grandma, I never got married again! I swear it! What are you talking about? I’ve always had only one wife and I never plan on marrying anyone else.” He replied her calmly as if he was explaining to a kid so she can truly understand what he was saying.“ oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!! You didn’t Alexander Johnson! Please tell me you didn’t!”. She exclaimed dramatically making Alice smile a bit at the dramatic woman but making Alexander and Jake a bit befuddled as they keep looking at each other in a daze state. They were not finding their current situation funny.“Mm I d
Alexander smirked and chuckled softly in amusement, he had totally forgotten how much of an over-thinker his grandmother was. “ Yes grandma, that’s what I mean, my wife didn’t dead years ago with the pregnancy. She’s the Alice Jet you know now! A lot had happened over the years that’s why she had to change her identity and hid from all of us until it was save for them. All that had to be done for their safety. And yes those twins are our children, our legitimate children.” Alexander stated proudly with a grin. When Lilly heard what Alexander said, she felt her entire mind go blank, suddenly she felt a strong wave of dizziness wash through her and then followed palpitations rendering her motionless. She felt her will power slowly slipping through her hands. She started seeing the faces of the people in front of her in multiple, then those faces became blurred. Slowly like the movement of a tortoise, she escaped reality to the unconscious world not caring about the three young people c
Jane Li sighed helplessly in her hotel room for what seems like the hundred times since she woke up from her long nap. Who would have thought that, she, Jane Li growing up a rich girl will suddenly be living like a poor person after her family became bankrupt. She was initially very hard for her, she did know it will be this hard. The motel she was staying at was a total nightmare, well a nightmare for herfor the reason of her upbringing and previous lifestyle. The motel was by the streets and was very noisy even in night because cars make use of that road a lot. They were times when attempts was even made to break into her room, she had to take her phone pretending to be talking with the police, that usually keep them off. She once went to the shop down the street to buy some things, on her way back, she was stopped by some thugs who harassed her and even attempted to rape her. If not for the timely intervention of a police patrol car driving by, she would have her gang raped that ni
Jane picked the call and spoke into the phone anxiously, she waited impatiently for the voice at the other side of the call to address her.“Long time, how are you doing Jane Li?”, a hoarse but extremely muscular voice addressed her at the other side of the call making her almost drop the expensive phone. Just like the previous call, she knows this voice like the back of her hands.“Alex?”, she called out in disbelief as she stared dumbfounded at the cream wall in front of her. She thought she had to make another visit to him again in hopes of getting a fair idea of the process. She wanted to know, how her beloved was doing and if Leonardo was with him. She had a lot in mind but what she didn’t expect was him making such an effort to get back to her. She wanted to ask how he got her number but almost laughed out loud about her foolishness, if Ken Li with little to no influence in the country can find her so easily then it was a piece of cake for Alexander to do the same within minutes
The room was like a grave yard after the call ended between Alexander and Jane Li. The phone was still sitting pretty on the center table with Alexander staring at it blankly. Since the call ended, he had been mute whilst cuddling at the equally dumbfounded Alice who had a blank look on her pretty face.“Why didn’t you do anything about what she was going through in the past? You had knowledge of it and it seems she told you immediately the abuse started. You knew what she was going through in the hands of her protector and yet for years you did nothing. You did nothing to help her, nor did the adults around them. In natural fact, you all failed her as a child. You failed her by sitting down and doing nothing when her own biological father sexual abused her for years.” Alice stated after a while. They were both seated in an awkward silence after the call. Alexander closed his eyes in agony and he threw his head back in regret. What Alice just said had been something that has hunted hi
Alexander paused and gathered his inner strength, he needed all the strength and courage he can get. He sighed deeply and started talking. “I remember visiting the Li’s mansion just weeks after the scene George and I walked into, the atmosphere was so intense that everyone was uncomfortable at the dining table. George wasn’t in talking terms with either his mother nor father, he blamed his mother for knowing about the pain and abuse his baby sister was going through in the hands of their father but kept mute because she didn’t want to destroy her home or should I say marriage. She was too in love with Ken Li, she was blinded by love.” Alexander muttered sarcastically with a finger quote when he mentioned marriage with a funny expression.“That is sick! That is fucking sick! She doesn’t deserve to be a mother at all. I never thought this badly of a follow woman till now. Gosh I’m so so angry right now!”, Alice exclaimed in disgust making Alexander giggle darkly because he wasn’t even a
After the emotional story telling by Alexander, the couple stayed in the balcony cuddling and listening to each others breathing. They used that time to reflecting on their own lives and how they can be great parent to their kids. Staring at the city ahead something clicked in Alice mind and she turned sharply in Alexander’s arms to face him with a bewildered expression.“What is it babe? You are looking at me strangely. What is going on in that pretty head of yours?”, Alexander asked Alice in a tough voice with his voice is still scratchy and hoarse from all that crying.“Are you so over protective of Alexia even when the guys come over, well I will say you are more protective of her when the guys are around. You even suggested the installation a hidden camera in their rooms. Are you scared of their safety when the guys are around?”, Alice questioned him in a small and uneven voice whilst turning to face him squarely. Alexander cleared his throat and turned to look at every where but
