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

There was total and complete silence in the room after the utterance by William Johnson. The room was at the right temperature, kind gesture of the air conditioning in the room but the atmosphere seems hot like an oven ready for baking to them. The topic of discussion is hard one for them. “ Willy dear, do you think it’s time we let them on the little secret we’ve been keeping to ourselves for years?”, Lilly whispered into the ears of William who was sitting just beside her. She took a quick survey at the troubled expression on the faces of each and everyone in the room and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t a good idea to let them on their long kept secret. William Johnson closed his eyes in pain,” don’t you think it will kill Alexander to find out the truth especially in this critical time? After all he is responsible for what happened to his family years ago and the current happenings in this family is also related to him. It will hurt him more to know that Ken Li is also the o

Until she met him 146. The Shameless Family
Jake left to his apartment barely a few minutes to take a nap when series of knocks was heard on the door just when Alexander wanted to take a nap on the bed beside Alice’s which has become his bed for a few weeks now. “Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!! Knock!….”“A knock? Did Jake forget something in here that he’s coming for it? He knows the code to the room right? Or? He used it to enter the room a while ago when he visited. Did he suddenly get amnesia and forgot the code to the door?,” He questioned himself, sitting up on the bed staring confusedly at the door.“Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!! Knock!”“Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!! Knock!….”He scoffed in annoyance when the knocking became too persistent. “ Jake! Why did you suddenly forget the code that I have to walk all the way here to open the door for you?”, he exclaimed, spinning the door open at that same time in frustration.He opened his mouth to say more but had to swallow his words due to the people in front of him.
