During those past weeks, she had been able to gather some evidence against the dealings of the Li family and has delivered those evidence to the police. He sends her sweet smiles and sometimes a wink anywhere he meets her but still kept his distance from her as if he knew what she had in mind. Although he warned the stakeholders at the meeting that met the twins at the balcony of La chaumière against telling anyone what they had seen and heard there, it wasn’t long before theories started coming out about Alexander Johnson, Alice Jet and the twins.The news spread like wide fire and was in mouth of a lot of people for days before somehow it dead down mysteriously. Alice had the suspicions that Alexander had a hand in the mysterious dying of the rumor in the office because the issue went away along with the fi

The hide and seek game between her and Alexander will have to come to an end on this very day. The event hall hired for the program was full to it’s maximum but mostly with young women who came from all walks of life and from rich backgrounds. Their families were invited but most choose their eligible young women who were due for marriage in hopes of catching the eyes of the man they all think was a bachelor. That man happens to be no other than Alexander Johnson.The young ladies came truly prepared in revealing dresses, deep make up and hard perfumes flaunting their family names as if it was an achievement.Reaching the venue, she parked her car and entered the room after a lot of deep breathes to calm her nerves. She had been there all morning and afternoon making sure the decorations, food, drinks and every other thing was well arranged and in their r

She opened the door leaving Alex in the room alone. He heard footsteps and looked up. He was lost in his thoughts and wallowing in his regrets. He was seated on her bed whilst he thought about everything she had said in the past few minutes and knew she spoke the truth. He had the DNA test performed on the little hair he was able to get from the little girl’s hair the time they met at the La chaumière. He tricked the girl into believing he was merely petting and playing with her hair when in true sense he wanted some of her hair for a DNA testing. He was truly ashamed of his actions but not regretful of the result he got from that shame. He was deep in thought when he heard someone opening the door, he left up his head the person entered the room and came face to face with William Keen. By the look on his face he was sure he had already heard what transpired between him and Alice earlier. He either heard it all or some of the things said a while ago.“You messed up big time bro!…” was

Alexander didn’t bother turning to answer him,”it’s Alice!, apparently she’s so drunk that she wants to go home with a total stranger!”, he answered him breathlessly as he continued running as if his life depended on it and currently his life truly depended on it.“What!!!”, William exclaimed in shock. William stopped running and stood rooted on the ground to process what he just heard, then suddenly took the speed to a top notch race. They both run towards the event center with Alexander fast ahead of William. Alexander knew the alcohol tolerance of the Alice Davison he used to know, he also knows she could barely stand on her foot with just a bit of alcohol in her system so he had a fair idea of her current state. He also had a fair idea of how she behaves when she’s drunk and that made him increase his steps.The media houses and bloggers were also around, he didn’t want her to misbehave and humiliate herself in front of everyone because the whole world was watching them at the mo

Alexander nodded and carried her in a bridal style, William took her purse whilst the other just followed them to the executive penthouse in slow strides.When they got to her room, William took the key chain from her purse to open the door with a tired yawn. They all stopped in shock at the scene that welcomed them to the room of Alice Jet. There were mutters and gasps from the men standing dumbfounded by the door.“What the f*ck happened here?!”, Richard exclaimed in shock at a glance of the room.“F*ck this is bad!”“This is very bad! What the heck happened here?? It looks like a war zone in here!”, Philip howled out with his eyes wide like a saucer. The three guys expect Alexander verbalized their surprise with horror expressions on there faces as they saw the scene before them.The hotel room of Alice Jet was practically turned upside down. Things were displaced around and the room looked like a big mess. It seem the people responsible for this had gone through her belongings bec

Alexander expression turned deadly and indifferent with every sentence Mark made. They were not surprised at the room number because it was the room number of the room Alice was supposed to stay in for the night.“Thanks for today guys, but it’s late and I guess you are all tired. Retire to your rooms for the night. We will talk tomorrow,”he muttered to them lowly before he turned away from them towards the door. He walked out straight away from them through the door, he realized that Alice was in a much bigger danger than he had earlier anticipated. He walked away from his friends with confident strolls but deep down he was very troubled.His friends all stood quietly and deeply bothered as they watched him walk away from them.He got his door and sighed deeply in relief when he saw that nothing was out of place in the hallway, meaning Alice was safe and sound, probably still asleep soundly in bed.He got to door when the head of the security came to him and bowed,”boss, everything
Until she met him 105. End of Celibacy
Alexander would be seen through the glass transparent bathroom door by Alice who was currently seated at the edge of the bed wiping her tears with the back of her hands. She stood up with firm determination about giving him the second chance of happiness she had been denying herself and the entire family since she arrived to the country. She decided to feed her cravings and make reuniting the family her major priority.Alexander made up his mind to take a shower to clear his thoughts leaving Alice sound asleep in the bedroom. She was on the bed, sleeping whilst looking so adorable and beautiful. After filling the tub to the brim, He turned the faucet off. After lighting some jasmine candles to create a calm vibe, He selected Kehlani’s “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t” album to play on shuffle. Alexander entered the tub just as “Serial Lover” started playing. Relaxing into the tub, He started thinking of how bad the had been and the day and how he would have liked to experience the pleasur

As the first rays of sunlight lit up the room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. The room was cold and the soft snoring in the room could be heard from the bed.Alice was the first of the two to be awake, she blinked her eyes at the brightness of the room and closed it for while before reopening it to adjust to the room.She looked around the room and saw unfamiliar environment, she frowned lightly as she took a look around the room. Finally her eyes rested on the slight movements on the bed and her ears picked up a soft snoring besides her.She turned slowly to the source of both movements and soft snore and was met with the peaceful face of Alexander whose mouth was slightly opened as he snored softly.Her eyes widened in horror, she looked at herself and saw that she was wearing a big oversized hoodie with a boxer short. She lifted the band of the boxer short and gasped

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.

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”.

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

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
