After Alexander left the office, he went to meet up with Lawrence at their usual spot.Lawrence was already sitting there by the time Alexander arrived."How did it go at the office together?" Lawrence asked Alexander the moment he sat down."As usual," Alex said, pouring himself a drink.Lawrence nodded his head. "How about your relationship with Anita? How is it coming along?""Quite alright." Alex shrugged his shoulders, remembering the argument he and Anita had in his office earlier."So what happens after she gets pregnant? Will you get married to her? Or you still don't believe in love?"Alex shrugged his shoulders again and looked away."Well, I don't know what I believe in anymore; it all depends on Anita, though. As for me, I just wish to have a complete family and be close to my kids. That's just all I wish for."They drank quietly for a while, and then Lawrence brought up the topic of the missing funds."So what's your plan if the culprit does not provide the money?" Lawrenc
Anita immediately looked up when she heard Hilda's name; her eyes met Alexander's. Alexander stood up immediately and faced Austin, then gestured to him to go upstairs with Ava. Austin immediately stood up and went upstairs, looking at his parents with raised brows, wondering who the person was.Alexander cast another look at Anita before he went out to meet Hilda outside."Your domestic workers wouldn't let me in." Hilda scoffed the moment she saw Alexander, and he furrowed his brow."What do you want?" Alexander asked indifferently, ignoring her attitude."Alex, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for everything that has happened. Please forgive me and take me back." She pleaded, walking toward him with her eyes doleful, and Alexander smirked at her audacity."I already severed all ties with the other men I'm dating; we've come a long way together, and we should be together. Alex please." Hilda said, standing a few steps away from Alexander.Alexander remained quiet as he continued to watch her
After spending about four hours at Alexander's house playing with Austin and socializing with Anita, Sylvia decided it was time to leave."I really should be going now; my boyfriend and I planned to meet today." She said, smiling widely.Alexander, who was in the kitchen pouring himself a glass of water, heard her and walked into the sitting room."So you are still seeing that model?" He asked with his voice firm, and a frown appeared on Sylvia's face."Why are you even dating that model? I see nothing good in him, and he is not the kind of guy you should be going out with." Alexander warned.Sylvia's chin lifted even higher. "You can't say that, uncle." Sylvia protested. "I love Jonah, and he loves me too, and there is nothing you or anybody can do to separate us." Sylvia fumed and stormed out of the house angrily. Anita, who was standing behind and observing everything that was going on, faced Alexander with folded arms. "You shouldn't have said such things to her again," she said,
By the time Anita woke up, Ava had already dressed Austin for school, while Violet had already made breakfast. She came to inform Anita that breakfast was ready.Sylvia was already at the breakfast table with Austin when Anita came down.They exchanged greetings and ate breakfast together.Anita watched Austin eat, and she wondered why he was not asking about his dad. The two seemed to have developed a strong bond.Sylvia checked the time after breakfast, and then she announced that she would have to leave."Thank you so much, Anita, for all you did for me. I wonder what I would have done in my heartbroken state." She laughed nervously, and Anita let out a soft smile."Meanwhile I should be leaving now, goodbye Anita, goodbye Austin." She blew them both a kiss and ran out.Anita decided she would drop Austin off at school herself that morning since she would be going to her movie set anyway.On their way to school, she used that opportunity to ask Austin why he was not asking about hi
Anita's beating heart was finally at rest when Angie successfully took Austin upstairs without the woman recognizing him. She could not help but imagine what would happen if Alexander's whole family managed to find out about Austin."Good day, ma'am." Anita greeted Emily Scott, who was standing by the window.The woman turned to face Anita, but instead of responding to her greeting, she eyed her viciously, her eyes traveling her whole body from head to toe.Anita shifted uncomfortably from one foot to the other as the woman scrutinized her with her eyes."You had better stop wasting your time with my grandson because I will never allow him to marry someone like you." Emily stared at Anita with disgust written all over her face, and Anita furrowed her eyes. Then Anita lifted her chin to meet hers.Such a curt old woman, although she had half expected that, but she did not expect the woman to be so straightforward and hurtful with her words."You should go and settle with the father of
It was a lovely Saturday evening and also a very happy atmosphere for Warren's family. Father, mother, and daughter were preparing for dinner with Leo's family.Margaret had earlier called Juliet Anderson, Leo's mother, to discuss the marriage of their children. Margaret's eyes lightened when she heard the beautiful spark in Juliet's voice when she brought up the issue of marriage."I will prepare dinner at our hotel so we can meet and discuss it properly." Juliet had said it on the phone.Sandra jumped on her mother and hugged her when she broke the news about the dinner to her.So she would finally have Leo all to herself and also become the president of Warren Inc. That had always been her dream; she had never wanted anything as much as she wanted that.Sandra smiled as she applied the lipstick to her lips, looking at her figure happily in the mirror.Michael Warren, on the other hand, was also happy that Sandra was finally getting married to Leo.Sandra had sacrificed her love lif
Anita woke up to an empty bed once again that Saturday morning. It had been three days since Alexander left the mansion, and she had not heard from him. She had even tried calling his phone, but she could not get through to him.She was starting to get worried after her effort to reach him again that morning was still unsuccessful.Slipping her robe on, Anita decided to go to the kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee. She met Ava there, who greeted her."Hope you had a good night's sleep. Miss Anita." She asked with a bright smile.Anita's lips unconsciously curled into a wide, genuine smile.Anita noticed she was starting to really like Ava; in fact, she was starting to see her as a younger sister. She particularly liked the way she was always caring about her."Yes, I did have a good night's sleep." Anita's smile broadened as she took the cup of coffee from Ava. "And I hope you did too."Ava nodded shyly."So when do you need your autograph?" Anita asked, sipping her coffee.Ava's
Sandra was in her room with Bridget; they were both getting ready to go to the fashion store to shop for the wedding.While Sandra was checking her wardrobe for what to wear, Bridget was sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone when she suddenly came across Anita's post. She clicked her tongue and shook her head."Look at this bitch. Check your phone, Sandra." Bridget fumed.Sandra, who had finally made up her mind on what to wear, also picked up her phone only to see that the news of her wedding, which was the top trend, had been yanked off the list and replaced by Anita's movies. Not only was she the top trending topic, but pictures of her and her movies were everywhere on the internet."She is just everywhere," Bridget hissed."That bitch. She has vowed to take everything from me, even the spotlight." Sandra cursed. "Can't she just let me enjoy the spotlight and trend for today? She just gets in my way all the damn time." She stomped her feet."You should ignore her." Bri
