After the bombshell was dropped, the entire place became as silent at the cemetery. Alice recovered quickly and was about to laugh at the assumed joke but a peep of Alex face was enough to make her realize it was no joke. She giggled childishly at the thought. Alexander didn’t expect such a reaction from her and frowned slightly with his ego a bit bruised.“Why would you want to marry me?, I mean you and me are like two different planets. Our world is totally different and worlds apart. Sadly, I won’t survive in your world and can’t survive in mine. Plus I will be a huge burden on you, I don’t have anything and my family hates me to the core. Why would you want me?”, she questioned with uncertainty of his intentions.Alex looked at her and said” my family wants me to get married by the end of this month and that is just a week away from today. I-I-I wanted to marry my wife a virgin but as you know I’m no longer a virgin because of you. I don’t know how to deal with the current turn of
The next day, Alice woke up very early in the morning to get dressed for school. After she was done bathing, she went into the closet to pick a dress to wear, deciding on a short white sun dress, she quickly changed and headed down stairs with her new phone in hand.She didn’t know how she will get to school, or if she can get a bag pack for school. She recalls that she still haven’t bought most of the books for her studies and has to consistently borrow from her course mates to learn or prepare for her quizzes and exams. She didn’t know how to ask Alex or Mr Peter for help either hence she settled for keeping quiet about it and going to school empty handed.She got to the bottom of the stairs with every intention of leaving immediately to the bus stop, she heard her name being called in the dinning room on a hoarse voice. She want towards the direction of the voice she heard, within seconds she found herself in the presence of Alexander. When she got there, Alex was already at the din
It was a big school that offered a lot of educational courses for students in and outside the country. They had variety of expensive cars that often came to the school compound. The said cars usually packs at various parking space provided all the time but this time the brand of the car and how slowly it was driven attracted a lot of attention to it self. However the attention quadrupled when they saw a very beautiful and hot girl come out of car walking slowly into the compound.“Damn! She must be new! I’ve never seen her before!”“Do you know her?”“Is she a celebrity or model because fuck look at them legs!”“She’s fucking hot!”“And fucking beautiful!”“Did you see her dimples?”“Wait? She drove that car right?! Then she must be from a rich family. I want her!”“No! I saw her first! Immediately I get the knowledge of her family, I will let my family visit hers with a marriage proposal”“Ha! Not before my family does!”Murmurs was heard throughout the university when she passes by w
The announcement bell was rang for all the students to gather at the auditorium for a program. The new friends walked hand and hand chatting excitedly as they made their way to the auditorium. They were several eyes on them as they passed but the two choose to just ignore everyone else around them.The looks they were receiving around them varied from person to person, some were envious, others was anger, hatred, lust, and some admiration. The looks of lust and admirations mostly came from the men who desire to have them and the women who wanted to be like them. But none of that mattered to the two friends. They were just leaving their truth and having their fun.Getting into the room together, the two decided on finding a suitable place to sat. They went for a place not to far from the stage but has a clear view of the stage. They sat down quietly and continued their conversation.“Do you know why we were called down here by this time of the day. Is has to be very important for lectu
The hatred Linda had for Alice increased immensely following how Alexander reacted to her and how his eyes followed her throughout the program. To her it seems like Alex only focused on Alice until he left after giving his all his speeches. She was inconsolable, bitter and unfortunate let anger cloud her judgement. it was until Matthew confronted her of her behavior that she became cautious of it unwillingly stepped down. She had lied to Matthew and told him that she was angry because she felt Mr Johnson deserved more than her bi*ch of a sister and that her sister already had a sugar daddy who was paying for her new lifestyle but wanted to make a fool of Mr Johnson.Matthew wasn’t convinced at first as her earlier behavior and bad mood was too intense for being concern for a stranger but after a few kisses and smooching, he gave in and lead Linda to janitors closet for a dose of their usual ‘fun’.Immediately they got to the janitor’s closet, Matthew wasted no time to turn her around
As she continued the drive home, she noticed the same black car from earlier following her. She had that scared feeling all over again as she had before but this time the that dread feeling felt so real to her. She wanted to face palm herself as she recalls not talking Derbie’s number earlier, by the look of things, it seems that person was scared of Derbie after all who won’t be? Derbie screamed trouble from a distance. She thought to herself as she smiled a little remembering her behavior earlier on in the day.Against her better judgement, she decided to drive at a high speed in attempt to escape the black car but the car also followed closely behind her. She drove pass the police patrol car and cussed underneath her breath because she thought the police will give her a ticket. Just as that thought occurred to her, she became rejoiced within herself by the fact that stopping her to give her a ticket will also save her from the freak stalking her.But to her dismay, the police who wa
At the police station, Matthew was given a seat at the Directors office and was watching the scene unfold. His heart was gladden when he saw how Alice was humiliated and disgraced by the officers without any justified reason, all because he told them that she offended him, ‘now that will teach her a lesson or two not to offend me in the future. Im glad she will experience first hand the power of the Leej family in the country’. He thought to himself proudly.Alice was utterly humiliated and disgraced, they kept her handcuffed and had her kneel down at the entrance of police station with a sign saying,”I, a mere prostitute have offended the young master of the Leej family. Please Master Leej, forgive me!”.It was pleasing to Matthew as he sat down and watched the officers make fun of her, her entire face with flush with humiliation and she put her head down to conceal her face. People took their phones out and was making videos and also taking pictures of her, she wanted to cry so bad
Alex called Jake to withdraw all Johnson fundings in the Leej companies and make words go out to other investors to withdraw their findings or face his wrath. Since no one wants to face his wrath as he has invested in a more than 90% of companies in M City and beyond, then every other company under the Johnson’s investment will go bankrupt within hours of offending him simply because of one family. Hence silently they all withdrew their investment from the Leej company one after the other.Matthew has been in the police cell for hours, he has long regained his consciousness and was out of his fake unconsciousness. He had been banging on the metal cells and shouting to be let but no one dare go close to him in fear of offending either him or Mr Johnson.“Please! Come on at least just fucking get me something to eat or drink! I’m dying here!” Matthew sighed tiredly in a loud voice. ‘Ha! to think I wanted to do this to that bi*ch just to make her submit to me but as it stands now, I’m ra
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
