His heart literally dropped when he saw the caller being identified as ‘Maxwell Johnson’ on his phone.He paused his actions and took a look at everyone in the room, the panic look on his face was enough to make everyone get on their feet and rush over to him.With shaking hands, he picked up the call and immediately placed the call on a loud speaker. “Son?”, Maxwell mentioned over the phone with a hint of sarcasm. The heavy breathing of Alexander could be heard over the phone making Maxwell crackle loudly over the phone.“Alexander? Are you there? How are you doing son? How are the kids doing? Are they all doing well?”. Maxwell questioned when Alexander didn’t respond to his initial greetings.“What do you want?”, Alexander uttered in a hard voice as he tightened his fingers in a fist. “Don’t be like that son, I only want to ask how yourself and the family was doing. Mm I wanted to met them myself especially the one called Alexia but as usual time wasn’t on my side. I was prevented
The eerie silence in the room was uncomfortable and everyone was restless and relentless.Alexander gradually lifted his eyes from Alice who he had his eyes on the entire time and glanced sadly at everyone in the eyes before speaking softly.He cleared his throat,”this two things are not going to happen on my watch. One, he is not getting his hands on my company and two, he’s definitely not laying a finger on my daughter. Jake get Mike on the phone, we have an hour before all this blows up in our faces”, he stated with so much confidence that the others won’t help but admire him.A glance at the desperate look on Alice’s tearful face was all it took him to crumble down and his blood boil in anger. He wanted blood, not just any blood but the blood of his father.“Let’s go guys, I-I can’t stay here anymore. I can’t be feeling this helpless anytime I look at Alice, my heart goes wild in anger when I remember everything.” Alexander stated with a sad voice before heading upstairs to his off
The sound of a pin dropping could have been heard loudly in the room. The silence in the room was an awkward and a uncomfortable one with all those present too surprised to utter a word. Alexander was pacing around restlessly with different and wild thoughts going through his mind. He planned on firing Bismarck several times since the incident happened but he knew he couldn’t because he was the best there is in his field.He tried to call him out on his behavior a dozen times after the call ended with Mike but the calls went unanswered. The situation was leaving him a huge mess because at that moment the life of Alexia along with his entire family was in the hands of Bismarck at all times. Carlos was shaking his legs nervously and his hands texting on his phone furiously, he was messaging his men he sent with Bismarck earlier to look for Alexia. He cussed out fiercely, all his messages remained unanswered and unread, even his men were following Bismarck’s footstep. Jake on the other
The joy in Bismarck’s heart knew no bounds at that moment. Not only was he able to save Alexia but he can now pick up the call of his master without fear of being strangulated over the phone. He was more than excited and those around him could practically feel the joy radiating off him.“Princess?”, Bismarck called out to her in a shaky voice. He knew how she becomes easily startled and didn’t want to make her panic or feel scared.“Yes-yes- Yes Uncle B?”, she replied in a timid voice laced heavily with tears. Her tone was soft, hoarse and shaky with some hiccups every now and there. It was quite evident from the hoarseness of her tone and voice that she had been crying or was still crying. “Princess go back a little for us, we want to break the seal on the door and you might get hurt if you are close to it.” Bismarck cooed at her whilst he and the guys make their equipments ready to open the door.“Okay Uncle B”, Alexia muttered as the other girls voluntarily went back for her to als
The sky was almost dark by the time the police made it to the shore of the harbor and Bismarck and his men had successfully made them drive the rest of the girls to the shore whilst he went with Alexia by the helicopter because of how crowded the freighter was. They had to await the arrival of the police to take their statements before they dispatch.It didn’t take long for the freighter to make it ashore because they had barely move from shore before the arrival of Bismarck and his men. The other men came ahead of him and had to use the canoe but he got the notice later than them and had to use the helicopter made available by Mike to get there in time to coordinate the affairs.Alexia was long asleep at the back of the helicopter and was snoring softly but not Bismarck who was restlessly pacing around the deck aimlessly.He saw the police helping the other girls out along with some of his men with Carlos and Mike’s men. Some was even helping others write their report and locate their
Alexander rushed happily to the living room through the stairs. The smile froze on his face immediately he got to the hall and came face to face with his number one enemy. Maxwell was seated proudly on the couple sitter couch with a smirk on his handsome when he saw Alexander come in. He walked in a while ago and couldn’t be prouder of himself the moment he walked into the chaos he created with the help of his new family. He looked at the disappointing expression on his parents face and it didn’t bother him like it did years ago. The dirty looks they were giving him was nothing compared to when the ones they gave years ago when he does something wrong. “Well! Well! Well! Look who finally decided to show his face at this party. It’s funny how your little boy just going to be just like you!”, Maxwell verbalized happily, after all he was going to become the next CEO of the Johnson empire soon and also had money coming in from his deals with the gang immediately they have the girl. He w
Watching Maxwell being sent away that day in the police van was a bitter sweet experience for Alexander but was devastating one for Lilly and Big Willy. In each other company, they hugged one another sadly with tears flowing freely.Alice didn’t know what to feel about Maxwell’s situation because she wasn’t particularly close to him nor had much knowledge of him hence the feeling of betrayal experienced by the others was new to her. Jake was feeling despondence because having grown up with Alexander since they were kids before Maxwell rebellion, he was the sweetest husband and a father. He sighed disappointedly when he remembered all those times he took them to their soccer rehearsals, movies and even helped them play movie dates and parties when needed. The despondency came in when he witnessed how low he had to bring himself because of his greed.But they all had on thing in common that eventful evening and that was the return of Alexia. That day the celebration that was supposed to
Getting into a new country and starting life afresh was not an easy task for anyone especially not when you have four kids to cater for. It wasn’t going to be easy for them in the beginning in this their new life and environment especially with their younger kids that take very long to adjust to a new environment than their older ones. Alexander was anticipating how it will all play out and Alice was anxious about everything new around them. She had also become very protective of their kids since what happened to Alexia some time back.The drive from the airport to their new house was an exciting and fun filled one for the kids.The kids had their faces plastered on the air windows throughout the journey and kept pointing out the things that stood out for them. Their excitement was pretty obvious from all the noise they were making from the back. Alice refused to pay them an attention and usually just stare at them from the mirror above her head to see how they were doing from time to
The church was decorated beautifully and well wishers sitting pretty in each role. The theme colors of the said wedding seems to be rose and gold, a perfect combination for such a warm weather and a beautiful occasion. A man of God dressed in all write was seen standing at the alter with a speaker in his had as he spoke to the crowd in high spirit.“Dearly beloved, We are gathered together here to unite (bride & groom) in marriage. This contract and commitment is not to be entered into lightly, but with thoughtfully and seriousness with a deep realization of its obligations and responsibilities. Please remember that love, loyalty, and understanding are the foundations of a happy and enduring home……”, he started his sermon with those beautiful words that captured the heart of everyone in the church.The sermon continued and every heart was rejoice at the priest’s sermons and his wordings. He was giving out advises, sincere and unbiased advises so most of them didn’t want the sermon to c
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
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!
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
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
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
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
