Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement    Chapter 133
RUBBY'S POV "Trisha please," I folded my palms. Never had I ever been this scared of a girl like me."Why are you begging? Please for what?" She asked and retrieved her phone from her back pocket."You don't have to do this, we are friends....""Shut up!" She screamed. I had enraged her with the friend word."You've never been my friend. I remember clearly when you offered to give someone else your pencil after I had complained I didn't have one. Is that what friends do?"My lower lips shivered as I spoke, "Trisha, that's almost fifteen years ago; we were kids; besides, I had apologised for this the whole week; I also got you a box of pencils after that."She kept scrolling through her phone like my tears meant nothing, well, they actually meant nothing to her."Did you or did you not do it, Rubby?" I wiped the tear in my face and summoned the courage to answer just as it had happened."Trisha, you were being greedy; when you asked for the pencil, I offered to give you so that you c

RUBBY'S POV "No, no," I rushed to her body. "Trisha, no, don't do this, please; somebody call the ambulance. Trisha," I cried She stared at me, surprise written all over her face. Then she whispered, "I'm sorry.""No, no. Trisha, no, please, I swear I'm not mad at you; please don't do this; hold on a little longer. I will take you to the hospital; you will be fine, we will go to Maldives together, we ..."I was still talking when her hands dropped."Trisha, Trisha," I called, tapping her violently. Realisation dawned on me, she was gone. "Trisha, please," I broke down in tears, heartbreaking tears. Yes, she didn't deserve my tears, but there were days when she made me so happy. She was my best friend after all. If I hadn't taken Nolan from her, she wouldn't have been this bitter, it was all my fault.My whole body was covered with blood as I kept screaming for help, though it was meaningless."Nobody can hear you, Rubby; it's a basement," Kevin muttered."Why did you kill her?" I

ALEXANDER'S POV "That's the car there," Josh pointed."But why is the fire service coming this direction" I was still talking when people started running out screaming."Fire! Fire!" The basement."We were both lost; the car was packed beside the bakery, but the bakery was busy, as many workers walked in and out of the room."There is no way she would be there," Josh said aloud as though reading my thoughts."Out!" Someone shouted. "There are people in the basement.""Basement?" I and Josh said in unison. "The gym has a basement?"Thankfully, the fire service arrived just in time and began doing what they knew how to do best."We are wasting time; take this direction, and I will take the other; we need to find her now," Josh ordered.I hated the fact that he was dishing out instructions like I was his younger brother, I only ignored him for Rubby's sake."What!" I exclaimed when I saw a swarm of reporters coming in that direction."Oh shit," Josh exclaimed. None of us wanted to be se

ALEXANDER'S POV I folded my fist and glared at the snake in front of me. I should have known from the onset."You also need to come with us," a police officer said.I turned immediately. "Why? Because of the lie he's been vomiting?""No sir, we need you to come for questioning, this is area division two.""Go ahead, you will need to see Rubby when she wakes up," Kevin said, tapped me on the shoulders and walked away, with the reporters running along. He stopped at the car carrying Josh. "Hey brother."Josh spat on him, but Kevin laughed in response."I will come with my car," I said to the police officer, who agreed.I was assigned to two other officers who joined me in the car, and soon I found myself in the Division Two police station."We would make use of a lie detector sir, since Kevin presented no evidence.""It's fine," I whispered. I felt so defeated."Is Mr Henry your driver?""Yes he is," I replied curtly."Did you know he had such intentions?""No, I didn't.""Where were

KEVIN'S POVI sang along, "It's a beautiful day, we gonna have some fun today, oh baby, I think I want to marry you.""What a beautiful day," I exclaimed and even increased the volume of the music. Everything had gone as smoothly as planned, even extra. Now, just one step, and Wolfe's incorporation becomes mine.I pulled into the driveway and adjusted my collar; I needed to exude that air of superiority, the CEO kind of Aura.I had just walked into the living room when Alex's mom stepped out."Kevin, what's going on?""Oh, Laura. You must have seen the news." I flashed her the darkest smile I had."That's not the plan; you are acting out of script, Kevin; what exactly are you doing?" Her hands trembled slightly as she spoke.I did a little break dance, much to her irritation."Old woman, we struck a deal, and we both played our part; why, then, are you pained? Do I look so foolish to you? Do you think I suddenly had no interest in the seat? You must be a clown, just like your son.

ALEXANDER'S POV I waited for Rubby, I couldn't leave, not after what she had said."You are still here?" Rubby asked when she got back from the doctor's office.I nodded without saying anything."Just leave me alone already. Staying with you has caused more chaos than I thought possible. Just go, please.""Rubby it's not me. I'm not the one bringing the chaos, it's.....""Alex, my life has been peaceful till you came in; go already; I miss myself."My eyes clouded. "That's a mean thing to say.""I will be leaving already, the doctor said I was free to go. And please do not come after me if you really love me. Grant me this one request."I sat like a statue and watched her pick her things till she walked away. Suddenly, my heart felt so heavy and cold, as though a bag of frozen water had been kept in it.Moments later, I found my legs. "Fine, if that's what she wants," I muttered and headed for my car.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove; Rubby's words kept ringing in

ALEXANDER'S POV It was the second time in the month that I woke up with such head splitting headache.I held my temples with both hands as I stood up to clear the mess I had created the previous day."What happened?" I muttered and paused to enable me to recall what had happened the previous day."Oh," I exclaimed in realisation. The stunt Kevin had pulled, and the heartbreaking words Rubby had said to me.But my brain kept reminding me that I was forgetting something."What else?" I grumbled.I shrugged my shoulders when I couldn't remember, and continued cleaning the mess I had made.Midway into my cleaning services, my phone buzzed.I stared at it for a moment trying to recollect when and how I had seen that number, because it looked oddly familiar, till the call ended.Not even up to twenty seconds, it started ringing again, I was pushed to answer the call this time."Have you forgotten the board has a meeting today?" That was Kevin's voice, but that wasn't his number."Are you s

ALEXANDER'S POV "Alex, Alex," the secretary called after me."What is it?" I turned sharply. "I know all this is Kevin's plan, but asking for the transfer of ownership is far. What if it's really signed in his name?""Why do you care?" I asked."Because Kevin can go any length to make sure he sits there. It's only for your own good if you allow him to sit there for the time being while you work underground to be sure the ownership is transferred to you.""Do you think I care?" I asked again."But.....""You have no right whatsoever to speak to me. If you believe I'm innocent, it would have shown in the vote charts, but it didn't.""I.....""We are done conversing," I said, but then someone else called me."Alexander." I turned to see Kevin walking towards me, while Josh followed suit."Why are you running with your tails between your legs?"I smirked. "You are the dog here. Because if you aren't, you wouldn't be so scared of meeting your father and asking him to sign the transfer of

KEVIN'S POV My knuckles turned white as I drove violently home. I had never been this embarrassed and disgraced all my life.How dare he? How dare that old man who is suffering from Dementia?I slammed my fists on the steering wheel continuously as I drove. "Mom," I muttered. How does it feel to have a favourite child, huh?All of a sudden she shows up, and the chairman talks such nonsense."Mr Wolfe!" I shouted as soon as I entered the house I bumped into Alex's mom who sat totally unbothered by the whole situation."Oh, it's a pity; some people can't even relate to what a mother's love means," she muttered.I knew she was referring to me. Though it hurt, I couldn't show how deeply those words wounded me.I turned to leave, but she blurted another disgusting word."I would rather be a devil than choose which child to love."I stopped abruptly and turned to her. "If you are talking to me, come say to my face, you coward. You should be ashamed of how much your son hates you. Look,

RUBBY'S POV Alex ignored my question and went ahead to open the box I had gotten him."Drop the act. Have you been drinking?""Wow," he gasped when he opened the box. I had gotten him a not-so-expensive watch. He had only one. Though that was the least of his worries, I figured out he needed another one. I had carefully chosen that watch with Dad the first time we made love. "Rubby, this is so expensive, you shouldn't have.....""I would have done more, I just......""Rubby this is too much," he interrupted. "Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much."I smiled. "I figured you had only one, so..." I couldn't complete the sentence; my cheeks had heated up.His eyes lingered on mine, making my cheeks heat up even more."You look stunning today, I.....""Alex, have you been drinking?" I asked again. I had almost forgotten and allowed myself to be brainwashed by his seductive eyes."Help me put it on," he muttered and gently removed the watch from the box."Whenever you are done dodging the qu

ALEXANDER'S POV My Jaw dropped, and my whole body stiffened as they walked to the podium. I turned to look at Josh who even looked more confused than I was. So was Kevin.It was game over. Mr Wolfe had always thought I wasn't his son, he had always seen me as a bedwetter, so I stood no chance against his sons. For me I thought, the battle was over for me, and for Josh too. "Good morning everyone," he greeted. We all stood in respect before he signalled us to sit with his fingers.I stole another look at Josh, who seemed to be speaking with his mother with his eyes; he didn't understand why she was there, though I knew it was against Kevin."I am sorry for keeping you all waiting, I had to settle some issues at home before stepping out." Turning to Kevin, "Congratulations, son, I heard the board members voted in your favour."Kevin nodded in response, a wide smile spreading across his face."Good. Standing before you all here this morning, I reject Kevin as the CEO of my hard-earne
