Immediately Carlos picked up the call, Alexander didn’t wait for pleasantries and went straight to the point. “Hello brother-in-law, I think we have things to discuss. Don’t you think so?”. Alexander voiced out calmly into the phone, receiving silence in response. Alexander wasn’t surprised about the response he got from Carlos, in fact he was expecting just that treatment from him. He knew Carlos wasn’t expecting him to find him out so soon and the news came as a shock to him. He thanked his observation skills for being able to spot that crown like tattoo on his wrist when he accompanied him and the guys to go bowling at the Bowling Ally almost a year ago. He never got the opportunity to see it again because he had been doing an amazing job in hiding it. He didn’t pay it much mind at that time and didn’t bother questioning him about it either. He remembered Carlos covering it almost immediately he saw it being exposed to him with a startled expression. Looking back, he now understa
Soon, it was almost a week bd it been five days since Carlos spoke with Alexander. He couldn’t bring himself to pick the phone calls if Alice throughout the week. He was a nervous wreck. Not only was he ignoring the calls of Alice but he was also avoiding all the guys as well. Over his long stay and prolong interaction with Alexander and Alice he had developed some sort of friendship with the other guys too.His home phone rang loudly bringing him out of his thoughts, rushed to pick it up. He had been expecting the call of his assistant from T country for a while now so naturally he thought that was him calling.“Hello, Michael? I was expecting your call hours ago, what happened?”, he questioned him impatiently over the phone.“Michael? Michael?! Mic-fucking l-hael?! You are so unbelievable! You have some nerve don’t you!”, the voice replied in an angry voice immediately he finished talking. He turned pale as a ghost and almost dropped the call in fright. The caller on the other side
It been days and Carlos haven’t heard a word from Alice nor the entire family. No attempt was also made to get into contact with him from everyone else. He was getting depressed and couldn’t even master the courage to make the first move by reaching out to her.He now had a fair idea of how Alice felt when he did that to her a few days ago. Knowing how petty Alice was when she was angry, it won’t surprise him if she’s really keeping her distance from him to pay him back in his own coins.Funny enough, it seems like he can’t take what he dished out himself. He took his phone severally to call her but couldn’t, he always drops the phone.Feeling restless, he couldn’t sit still on the couch without fidgeting so instead he got up on his foot and began pacing around in the room.“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!Ring!”“Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!Ring!Ring!”The loud ringing of his mobile phone brought him out of his deep thoughts. He jumped up in fright and took his phone out of his poc
This day was an exciting one for the family and friends of the Jacksons especially the kids because they were going to have a picnic in the beach, in a private beach. Well that was the plan in the beginning before it was changed to a public beach because they wanted the kids to interact more with the outside world. That morning was a fascinating one in the house of the Johnsons. Grandma and grandpa spent the night over at their mansion and the kids couldn’t be happier. They all wake up early in the morning and rushed straight to their rooms to have some play time with them.Alice and Alexander were still sound asleep cuddled in each other arms when the kids burst into the room high on sugar.“Mummy! Mummy!! Mummy!!! Mummy!”, Junior exclaimed in a loud voice when they made an appearance to their parents room without knocking.“Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!! Daddy! Daddy!”, Alexia exclaimed in a loud voice whilst jumping on the bed of their parent, successfully landing in between them.“Mummy!
Father and son sat together in the same space but was separated by a lot of factors with one being the betrayal Alexander felt years ago when he had to found out some dirty secrets of his father from the news. Imagine a seventeen years old finding out about his broken home and his father’s mistress and his other family through the news.He was the laughing stock of his peers when the news initially broke out, he kept himself locked in the room for weeks because of the harassment. Divorces were rare those days and children from broken homes were treated like outcast by the entire community, his wasn’t an exception. He didn’t know how to face his mother who took to drinking all day long after the news of his father broke out.That’s was when he missed George Li the most because if he was around, he would have been his comforter and the shoulder he laid his head on. as Alexander knew George first before the rest of the guys and by far closer to him than the rest of his friends. “Alexande
Finally it was time for the kids to go to the beach. Alexander wasn’t in the mood for such outings but he had already promised the kids and they were in high spirits for their first official visits to the beach. Alexander was on the wheel of the car and he was brooding to say the least, his mind was occupied with too much, his heart was hurting and his ears heard somethings he will rather not want to have knowledge of hence he was not in a good mood.Alice saw his mood and tried to make it up with the kids so they don’t disturb him in such a mood.“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Junior won’t give me back my tablet!”, she exclaimed angrily while looking at her father through the mirror.“Oh come on Ale! You gave me the tablet yourself when you alleged you’ve been failing that particular level in candy crush! You gave it to me yourself to play for you but you are claiming otherwise now!”, Junior stated with frustration clear in his voice as her face palm himself.“Scoff! That was more than a hour
They got to the public beach but a look at how everyone was scattered around was enough to make the family feel unsafe and uncomfortable. With a little discussion amongst themselves, they make their way to the private beach just miles away. Alexander drove the family to the private beach through a dense atmosphere but with his hands and Alice’s intertwined, he doesn’t have much to worry about.He parked his car securely at the parking space and got out with a stretch as he took in his new environment. He kept looking around till he saw the familiar grey haired couples arguing by the entrance.He crackled softly and shook his head in amazement, those two don’t seem to function with each other and can’t function with each other. He heard a loud stretch and turned to see that Alice out of the car with Junior helping her with Aiden while she was holding Aurora’s hand in hers. Then a loud banging of the car door brought his attention to the sulking looking Alexia. But before he could addre
He glance at the stranger with a thoughtful expression and suddenly he had a bad feeling about her, her presence was making unsettle.“Hello dear, it seems you who I am but strangely enough, I don’t know you and have never heard anything about you.” Alexander spoke out with a smile but within, he doesn’t know how to feel about the girl in front of him. He felt his heart drop in his chest when he looked at the girl who lifted up her head to his face in front of him. She looked a bit older than Alexia at a glance and had the same Johnson’s eyes but not the hair. If he was being truthful, he will dare say she looks a little like his grandmother, Lilly.“Sorry Mr. J, I haven’t visited your house before because I’ve not been able to get the permission from my parents. I promise to visit you soon.” She spoke softly making Alexander terrible within. The strange feeling he had about the girl increase considerably after he saw her for himself.“What’s your name?”, he questioned her.“Oh? My nam
