Until she met him 136. War
Alexander’s mind was blank as he stared at Alice motionlessly on the stretcher in the ambulance. Her face was still as beautiful as ever but her eyes were shut together hiding her beautiful eyes and her face full of bruises.Whilst in the car, Jake knew they will need all the support they could get hence he took the phone and called the guys in a conference call. He called all of their friends and waited till they all picked before connecting them in a conference call. “Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring…..”“Hello Jakey”, Richard answered the call in a bored voice, he was seated casually on a movie set for his upcoming movie before the call came in. Jake didn’t bother giving him a reply. He went right ahead to call the next person on the call Saul. “Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring…..”“Hello”, Philip who was in a meeting picked up the call in a agitated voice. The bargaining of the new contracts was going wrong and he was in no mood to play. Another Jake ignored him, placed him on hold

They were all outside with the hospital with Alexander pacing up and down the corridor with a heavy heart. All the other guys arrived to show their support to Alexander, they sat quietly on the bench provided. They all saw his appearance but none of them commented on it, his appearance gave them a fair idea of how bad the accident was. They showed their support to him emotional, they all surrounding him in the waiting room just in front of the theater.They were currently seated but were all quiet in their own thoughts. It was late into the night and Alice had been in the theater for hours without a word from the numerous doctors and nurses that dashed in and out of the theater repeatedly. They were all staring at Alexander sadly, he hasn’t sat down nor uttered a word since they got to the hallway. All lost in their respective thoughts, Jake’s phone rang in the quiet hallway, startling all of them with the exception of Alexander because had shut himself out of the happenings around him

William burst out laughing despite the seriousness of the situation at hand making Jake and Richard glare heatedly at him whilst his colleagues turned to look at him strangely. “He does this all the damn time! Hahahaha he collapses every damn time he hears that Alice is pregnant. He collapsed the first time I told him Alice was pregnant with the twins and he did again this time. Come on guys! Let’s take the soon to be new father in town to my office, he will wake up soon. I think the stress and the emotional ordeal we all went through had a greater impact on him than he felt.” He explained the reason why he was laughing hysterically earlier making those glaring at him relax their facial expression, a little smile overtaking their heated glare as they helped him carry the unconscious Alexander to William’s office which was just a few steps from the theatre.The other colleagues of William wouldn’t help but be amazed by the behavioral patterns of Alexander whenever he finds out he’s goi

Alexander didn’t even know when he fell asleep the previous night, he was so lost in thought and he shedded tears silently whilst hearing the soft snoring of his friends. At a time in the night, he turned the see them all coiled up in William’s luxurious office whilst the owner of the office slept in his executive chair. Jake was coiled up in the one seated couch as Philip and Richard were coiled up on the carpeted floor with Richard’s mouth wide open snoring the loudest amongst all of them.“Alex? Alex? It’s morning….. you have to go see Alice before it gets hectic and busy at the unit”, William tapped him softly as he whispered into his ears.Alexander groaned softly by still continued to sleep, swiftly he turned his back away from the noise that was interrupting his sleep.William hissed softly and cussed under his breathe, he was able to get the new nurse on duty to smuggle Alexander in for a few seconds to see Alice but Alexander just found today to be the perfect day to sleep dee
Until she met him 140. The room with many Visitors
William entered the room after Alexander was taking too long to come out. He entered the blank room and took a critical look at it’s environment. He glanced at the machines quietly, the same machines making the beeping noise in the quiet room and took a look at the air conditioning keeping the room at the right temperature. The room was bare of any color and personality because it was a home for a lot for people in the past and it will become a home for a lot people after her and a lot more in the future. But one thing that is certain is that will always be a home for someone new until they are either fit to be transported to their permanent rooms. Their permanent will also serve as their home until they are fit to be discharged or their health deteriorate to their death.The said room doesn’t discriminate between the rich or the poor nor was it bias about skin color and one’s race. The beds don’t discriminate either, it was there to serve anyone place on it. It was also a place of sol

William Johnson always had problems sleeping hence right before dinner every night, he usually takes his prescriptions that enables him to sleep well at night uninterrupted. He was fast asleep when Lilly was getting prepared for bed before she called Jake and was informed of the situation with Alice. He wasn’t aware that two little kids or let’s say two of his great grandchildren slept over in his mansion and they will soon be awake in all their glory. He woke up in a disoriented manner to see Lilly’s side of the bed empty as if she never came to bed that day but knowing how petty she can be and the grudge she holds against him, he got up from bed and made his side of bed. It wasn’t strange that she woke up before him because he was a heavy sleeper on his medications and she was a light sleeper hence she often gets up early to make breakfast for the family despite the many helps in the house.He got up from the bed with a loud yawn, feeling very refreshed and made his way to the dinin

Alexander rolled his eyes at Alexia but he still opened his arms for her in a hug. She rushed to him making him go down to their level in order to be able hug them well. He closed his eyes and exhaled sharply as he hugged the twins tighter to himself.“Alexander? Lilly? What-what?-what?-what is going on here? Who are these kids? It-it-I’m-I’m confused! It looks like-like-like the-the-the boy looks just like Alexander when he was just a child. Are they yours? Pumpkin, Are the children yours? But it’s not possible. I-I-I-I don’t understand what is going on…”, he muttered in a confused state but kept looking at the twins especially Junior like he had just seen a ghost.Alexander pulled away from the kids slightly and at the same time, he took each of their little hands into each of his hand, making them stand at each side of him. The two children turned to look at William Johnson in a curious manner.“Ju? Lexi? Meet your great grandfather, his name is William Johnson. You two can simply c

William Johnson felt his mind go blank at the name Alexander mentioned. That name had been the major cause of the troubles he had experienced and was still experiencing this past few years. He was annoyed. He wondered if Ken Li and his hoodlums know that they were destroying other people’s life. He became overwhelmed, got up and walked away to the dining room lost in his thoughts about how bad Ken Li had dealt with him over the years and the hardships he has put his family through because of his selfish ambitions. He reminisced over everything that happened over the years between the Li family and the Johnson family, he cussed under his breathe and a forlorn feeling subdued him.Alexander glanced at Lilly with a questionable look making the later shrug her shoulders in response as she followed quickly after William who disappeared into the dining room.“Uncle Richie! Put the food down! Some of us are also hungry and would like to eat but you are keeping everything for yourself!”, Alexi

Diane didn’t want to leave the grave yard, she didn’t want to leave her baby alone there and leave. She felt doing that meant abandoning her in that lonely place, she sat comfortably on the green grass beside Charlotte’s grave and refused to get up from there. The cemetery was empty apart from the four of them, Romeo couldn’t leave Diane either and Alexander and Alice couldn’t afford to leave them alone there. The workers hired had already filled the grave with soil and it wasn’t easy for Diane during that period, she had to be held tightly in a tight embrace by Romeo who wasn’t feeling any better than her but was rather finding strength in his grieving heart. It was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone present at the grave yard especially when Diane lay down on Charlotte’s grave in the rain, talking and whispering sweet nothings to her through the grave. The workers were in the rain waiting for her to leave so they can start with leveling the floor and start with the grave moulding
Until she met him 245. Goodbye
The news, the sad news of the murder of the small girl broke everyone in the entire country. The news of the little stranger didn’t only break their heart but the pain of her demise cut them deep in their hearts and they all cried out in pain of her untimely death. Getting to know of how she dead through a blunt force trauma to the head at the hands of her father was the most heartbreaking news reported.Alexander didn’t even know how the call with Jane ended that day nor did he realize he was crying until Alice shirt was drenched in his tears and his was drenched in her tears. Everyone present shed tears uncontrollably and Lilly literally broke down and haven’t been the same since that day. According to Jane’s source and a recording she sent to him over the phone that day, Robert Pint confined in a lady and was confessing to her in what seems to be a phone call. His voice could be heard to be hoarse and was obviously hyperventilating over the phone. He kept repeating,”I killed her!
Until she met him 244. The Warehouse
Seeing their curiosity and anxiety, Alexander decided to put the call on speaker so everyone can hear what was going on with the call.“Hello? Alexander? You good? How’s Alice and the family doing? Oh! How’s grandma? I miss her asf! Did that Romeo guy contact you? There’s some developments in the case and he said he will tell you personally so I shouldn’t be the one to tell you. Did he tell you?”, Jane’s voice filled his ear drums and room with questions after questions making those present in the room giggle softly at how fast she was talking and asking the questions.“Everyone is fine and also extends their greetings to you guys and yeah the Romeo guy did contact me, in fact he just left here and that’s why I called you.” Alexander verbalized.“Mmm-that’s cool. What it is?”, she asked him curiously whilst cooing at the little baby in her arms. “We need your help”. Alexander stated with a hard look on his face as his mind wandered back to the issue of little Charlotte.Jane paused he
Until she met him 243. Richard’s Interest
Jake smiled sadly and cleared his throat,”I think his problem wasn’t any of that but the fact that it was a man. He probably got drunk and did it with a man and is now beating himself up because he doesn’t know how to handle such a feeling.” He verbalized as everyone one nodded in understanding to what Jake muttered, only for that moment of understanding to be cut short by a hoarse voice.“I was the sober one but he was drunk!”, the hoarse voice of Richard echoed in the room as they all turned to face the direction of the voice. They were all baffled to see the two friends who fought barely a minute ago in each others arms. Richard was looking at them with red bloodshot eyes and Philip hugged him to himself tightly.Philip frowned deeply and push away from Richard slightly,”You were the sober one and he was the drunk one? Then why the heck were you playing the victim card for days now?! I mean you were literally rude to him since he got here because of what exactly?!”, Philip questione
Until she met him 242. The Party
An initial silence went through the room like a hurricane before the storm of their reaction followed. The chorus of their response was all in agreement with what Alexander suggested because she was apparently the best person they can all turn to in this tricky situation. She was also very much involved in the case as much as they were and wants to the truth to be revealed. They all came together for a common agreement on the plans and strategy for bringing down those powerful wicked men at the high places. The plan was simple per their agreement, Jane Li slash Jane Muller is supposed to be added to plan and Alexander was responsible for bringing her up to date with their plans and the solutions they put in place to achieve what they wanted.Then Jane was supposed to convince Robert Pint’s mistress to turn against him and bring her to their side by means of bribe or any other means possible. The amount of money and the luxuries were out of the world and they plan on granting all of th

“Well, I think I made a mistake by saying he was like my father because my father is better than him in some aspects, he is worse than a monster. Charlotte wasn’t born in the hospital but in the house because Diane is an illegal immigrant and hence she didn’t have her papers and let’s not forget that he hid her throughout her pregnancy so when she had to give birth, it was done in the house with his assistance. Charlotte is not in the system so if he kills and bury her right now, the world won’t know a thing about it nor will they ask questions. He never intended on marrying Diane until the cries of the baby got the attention of the neighbors and murmurs began going around in the community and raising alarm. He had no choice but to get married to her and make her a legalized citizen. So now they both know what he’s capable of and since Charlotte doesn’t technically exist, he can get away with killing her and leaving the only witness to be Diane who he also plans to kill and put an end
Until she met him 240. Worse Than A Monster
Alexander sat quietly in the couch and leaned back a bit as he observed both Richard and Romeo, especially their body language and facial expression. He turned quietly to glance at Philip who felt the hot gaze at the side of his face and turned to him. The two stared at each other for sometime before the light bulb light up in Alexander’s mind and recognition became evident to him. He gasped softly and turned to Richard in shock but before he could master the strength and confront him, Romeo cleared his throat loudly to get their attention.“Richard right? I don’t know what I’ve ever done to you since I came inside but I don’t do married women and I most certainly don’t do any woman. They are not exactly my mmm-preference, my name might be Romeo but I’m not like that Romeo in literature. I can proudly say I am my authentic self and I prefer the opposite of things he likes.” He verbalized and checked out Richard who was blushing openly like a school boy. Everyone in the room suddenly un

Romeo closed his eyes tightly and cussed out loud,”fuck it! I don’t want a word of any information I will be giving here, I don’t want it to leave this room. I can’t wait to be done with this fuck case because it is causing me a lot of headache and my morals! This is too draining and suffocating because for the first time, I’m now thorn between doing what is right, what is wrong and what feels right and sincerely speaking, I can’t decide which path I want to take.” Alexander turned around to face Alice then at the guys before he spoke on the behalf of all of them present in the room.“You have our word, whatever you say here, stays here with us and not a soul away from this group will hear the wind of it. This is my promise to you.” Alexander muttered to him with a sincere voice and soft nod. Romeo nodded unconsciously with his mind turning against him as he glance at them numbly. He took a deep breathe and just hoped from the button of his heart that he was about to do the right thin
