The cops gave up when the strange man refused to speak the truth. All attempts to make him say something didn’t yield anything.At that point, Frustrated and angry, Alex knew he had to leave them there. He would be getting the information in his office.Even though he had gone back to the office, he had taken Clara home before that and informed the servants to look after her.She had been subbing and getting emotional ever since she heard that her mother was murdered. If not that his attention was needed in the office, Alex would stay with her.Annie had been boiling, walking up and down the house. Mr & Mrs Peters had given up on Alex. They were going to detach themselves from him. More like acting like they have disowned him.“My dear, there is nothing we can do at this moment, we suggest you go back to your parents while we handle things here.” Mrs. Peters explained to Annie.Chuckling, but masked with pain and bitterness, Annie knew it was over. Mrs Peters only coated her words to
Calm and coordinated, Clara looked at Alex to see a reaction from him, but there was none.There seems to be something like fear, and guilt written in his face. She doesn’t know who that was but Alex acted like he knew something.“Hi, who are you?” Clara replied, amidst the calmness in the air.Jane had her eyes fixed on Alex, making him unable to say or do anything and she was enjoying it.Jane had always told her friend that Alex still loved her but she didn’t believe her, this was it. He does love her. “I should be asking, who are you?” Jane replied. Having seen the answers to her questions, she had more confidence now, she was looking at Alex.“Alex, you didn’t tell her about me?” Alex was still motionless, Clara at this point knew something was wrong. How could the lady refer to him as just Alex? Who exactly is she?“Sweet, please follow me.” Alex finally said. He took Clara by the hand and took her upstairs to the bedroom.“Give me a second.” “Please.”Alex needed to clear thi
Henry Couldn’t make it to Alex’s office the previous day, so he promised to do that today.It was just early in the morning and most individuals were still asleep. However, he was up early. After all, busy people do not have all the time in the world to sleep.Henry began getting prepared for his day. From his office, he would visit The Peters Corporation. He wanted to make sure that he sued Selene and that she would never be granted bail.He knows how his parents can be and anyone involved in that wouldn’t even live till the next day.Alex had just woken up, he felt too lazy to go to work that day. He can’t seem to forget the threats that Jane made to him.He turned around and searched for Clara, she wasn’t by his side, where could she be?Seeing how stressed and overthinking Alex was last night, Clara decided to make breakfast for him to make him feel good.When Alex walked down, he saw Clara in the kitchen cutting some veggies.Hugging her from behind and kissing her neck, he tired
When Alex got home that day. Clara wasn’t home. She didn’t inform him that she would be going anywhere.Scared of his thinking, Alex began calling his wife’s phone. He was already beginning to have weird imaginations and thoughts. He was beginning to think that Clara had been kidnapped again.But surprisingly, she came out from the backyard, not even apprehending what had happened, Alex was startled by that.“The gardener came around so I was instructing him on how to go about with the flowers.” She muttered, reading his expression, she could see that he looked worried.After Alex calmed down, he decided to freshen up. It was tonight that he planned to tell her about the request Henry made.“How was work today?”“Henry came around.”“Why, did something happen?”“Let me freshen up, catch you at the dining.” Clara's heart was beating the moment she heard Henry. She wondered what it was this time, she wouldn’t want anything that would put her into trouble. So when Alex was done, he cam
Looking at the sender’s name, Alex knew that this was a serious one. Has it gotten to that? To the point where Jane could send him a message just like that? A married man?The fact that he was angry at his wife would have made him fall for this temptation, but the last thing he wanted to do was to make Jane’s assumptions right.So he realized he was just jealous for no reason. Alex didn’t just decline the request, he blocked the number. He doesn’t know how Jane was still able to send him messages in the first place.Still holding his phone, he was bored. So something quickly came to his mind, wearing a mischievous smile, he sent a message to someone.“Will you come keep me company? My wife doesn’t care about me.”After sending the message, he felt so indifferent about didn’t know how the recipient was going to react to it. But his message was expressive enough, that was how he felt. Abandoned by his wife.He kept rolling from one side of the bed to another, waiting for his phone to b
The next day, Alex had already gone to work, by the time Clara woke, Alex was no longer at home.They didn’t get to talk about what happened the previous night. But it wasn’t a big deal.Alex had already given Henry a feedback to visit his wife. He trusts Clara and only feels insecure.In his office, Alex had just received a call from the officers, the young man that killed Mrs. Roberts had decided to speak.Without calling Clara, Alex ran off, whatever it results to, he would let Clara know.“Sir, you were meant to have a meeting by ten.” His Secretary said. They have been missing lots of meetings lately.“Reschedule.” Alex answered, just a single reply. This had to do with Clara and was more important than his job, to him, helping Clara find her mum’s killer would make her love him more.So immediately, Alex drove straight to the station. The man had requested Alex be there before he spoke too.“Now he’s here, what do you have to stay?” The DPO voice was loud, you could tell he’s b
The DPO succeeded in convincing Alex, it was just how criminals behave and it was just a scope.While Alex agreed with the officer, something in him still wanted to grant the young man his request.“So what do we do now?” Alex asked, he had come all the way from his office so he needed to know the next step.“CEO Alex, we can only wait on him to reveal the real culprit, if not, he would keep being here in place of the person.”Alex and the deputy police officer were no longer in the cell, they were at the DPO’s office discussing this.They had spent over forty minutes talking when there seemed to be something like a distraction ongoing.“Excuse me, CEO Alex.”To find out what was happening, the officer left the office and met his colleagues. They whispered something to him which made him look shocked.The emergency unit had just come over and began to carry someone outside. On the other hand, Alex peeked at his wrist, the DPO had left for over ten minutes and hadn’t returned. His sec
Twice, Alex called his wife but she wasn’t picking up. He decided to do other things and he would talk about it later.It was still the break period and the staff were in the cafeteria. Then, the secretary came to give him some information.“Sir, there is a lady outside who would love to see you?”“What’s her name?” Alex asked.“The lady didn’t disclose that and insisted that you are expecting here,”Without thinking about it that much, Alex ordered that they let her in.Jane had been standing and waiting. She really does hope that Alex would be in a good mood. She didn’t reveal her name to the secretary because she knows that he might refuse to see her.Jane can’t deal with the fact that Alex doesn’t worship her anymore, if she really claims Alex was still in love with her, why wasn’t she so confident to say her name.When she saw the secretary returning, her eyes were fixed to read her expression.Has Alex said he doesn't want to see her? Or he had requested she must say her name?
