Alex's POV
I walked into the compound and found James. He pointed a gun to me and I shrieked with fear. "James, put the gun down." I said.He laughed and raised the gun up, he fired a shot in the air and pointed it back at me. "What do you think? Do you really think that I'm scared of you?" He asked."The cops are going to be here any moment soon, I didn't except you to do this." I answered with a frown.
He scoffed. "I'm also in love with your girlfriend." With that, I punched him in the face and kicked his legs, he fell down and rolled over to the other side, his gun slipping off his hands.I kicked it away and jumped on him. I gave him the first blow and he pushes me off him. I sprang up and dodged his attacks. "I don't know where Lisa is." He said as we fought.
"You kidnapped her, you liar." I replied and he ran towards the fence. I tried to run after him but I heard a gunshot.My heart raced, could it be Lisa? I ran with rage into the
Alex's POVI was restless, I tried calling Oliver's phone but it was switched off. "Have you been able to call him?" My mom asked.I shook my head sitting down on the sofa. "His line is switched off.""Why would you guys be so dumb to the extent of trying to rescue a stupid lady who can't defend herself." She said."Don't call her a stupid lady." I replied sharply with a frown.My phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was James calling, I hurriedly picked it up."Where's Lisa?" He asked."I should be asking you that question."He chuckled over the phone. "You have Lisa, why don't you give her back to me?"I scoffed. "She's my future wife and I won't let you hurt her again.He chuckled again. "The cops can't investigate me because they won't find all the evidence." He reminded."I'll look for evidence.""I don't play dirty games, I know what I want and I always get it. I'm a skilled criminal."I threw my ph
Alex's POVI walked into my organization with a smile and everyone scurried to their seats. James walked towards me with a grin on his face. "So are you ready to lose your company?" He asked.I looked at him before looking outside. "I don't think you should talking to me early in the morning." I answeredHe chuckled. "You're still arrogant.""I can't stop being arrogant, I'll fight to the end.""Death is the end," he reminded with a smirk. "Be ready to pay the price just like Lisa because you'll be the next person walking out of this organization."I frowned. "Lisa is dead, don't mention her name." I warned.He laughed and we climbed the stairs together, I didn't want to talk to him. "I wanted to get married to Lisa before Oliver stopped my plans." He said as we reached the corridor."You'll never get married to Lisa." I replied and walked into my office. "The management meeting will commence soon, be ready for your doom." He said from outside.
James's POVI walked into the hotel room that Kim agreed to meet me. I found her on the bed frustrated, I slammed the door behind me and walked towards her. She stood up when she saw me and slapped me.I winced in pain and stepped back. "Kim, what did you do that for?""You're senseless, how could you not know who you signed the deal with?" She asked."I didn't know what to do, should I have pointed a torch at the buyer's face. I don't know where she got the money from." I said as Kim slapped me again."You're so stupid.""I'm better than you who thought you would kill her by burying her alive, what we should find out is who gave her the money to buy the company back.""Isn't that obvious?""What's obvious?" I asked rudely."Oliver rescued her and handed her to his father. She got the money from Alex's father and paid you all the shares, bought the company in Alex's make and you didn't even bother to go through the documents." She said angrily as she pushe
Lisa's POVI shrieked in fear as she screamed. Alex came running towards us. "Mom, what happened?" I asked."Don't call me Mom, I'm not your mother." She answered with a frown and I became embarrassed."Mom, you didn't have to talk to her like that." Alex told her with a frown.His mom laughed. "Can you imagine what she cooked?"Alex stared into the plates and looked at her. "Mom, she doesn't know. It's not her fault.""She prepared noodles for me in my own house, I'm sure people sent her to poison me." She said loudly as I stared at the two of them confused."I don't understand." I was forced to ask them what was going on.A smile plastered on her face. "She's just being dramatic, she doesn't eat noodles. You don't have to worry, I'll prepare something for her to eat."His mother pushed him and walked towards me, she dragged me towards the kitchen. "Don't you know how to cook?" She asked and the kitchen door flung open.Alex walked in. "Mom,
Alex's POV"You don't have to fear." I told her to dump the eatery's nylon in the bin."How are you so very confident?" She asked."I guess I inherited that from my dad." He answered.She frowned. "I haven't even met your dad.""You can open the door now." I answered and she opened the door immediately. Mom walked in with a frown."I thought you guys were making children. I love your food." My mom said and sniffed the air.Lisa giggled excitedly as she tasted the food. "it's nice but I'm surprised.""What Mom?" I asked, concerned."How did you manage to cook this meal within thirty minutes. I can't possibly prepare a delicious dish within thirty minutes." She answered."Some are talented and some are not." Lisa said and I chuckled.My mom dragged her ear and squeezed it lightly. "Are you insulting me, woman?" She asked and I laughed.A knock was heard on the door. "I'll go get it." Lisa said and walked out of the kitchen."I shouldn't lie
Lisa's POVI looked at Alex, he couldn't even say a word. He was very chuckled. I looked at the food and forced a smile."Yes, it's my traditional dish and it has many names, I don't know the name Alex told you but I call this meal, Rich carrot soup with rice." I answered.She smiled. "Rich? I didn't expect it to be poor, I enjoyed your noodles more and Alex called the dish, carrot pepper soup with mashed rice." She said and I laughed.I just couldn't stop myself from laughing, he called the food pepper soup. "Why are you laughing?" Alex asked, embarrassed."I'm sorry," I replied still laughing as we climbed the stairs. I opened his bedroom door and walked in. "It's just that the name sounds funny." I replied and laid on his bed.He frowned and locked the door. "At least, I saved you from my mother's disturbance. Aren't you going to eat tonight?I faked a smile. "I'm not hungry, your mother ruined my day." I replied as he sat down on the bed."I love you, Lis
Lisa's POVNext Morning.I and Alex stayed in the visiting room while the cops brought Oliver. He looked lean already and I felt pity for him. "We've gotten you out of here, you're free to go." I told him."I don't want to go."His words took me aback, I was shocked. "Why?" Alex asked, also shocked."I just don't want to go." He answered, adamant.I shook my head and squeezed his hands gently. "I'm not leaving here without you.""You should go, Kim and James next target is the both of you and I'm planning on working with them to save you." He explained.I frowned. "I'm not going to let you work for those bastards to save us, we're safe already." I said. "Living in fear is safe? Isn't it?" He ventured, cautiously.I looked at Alex unable to answer him. "Mom's having her blood pressure rise, she needs you. When she heard the news, she was demoralized." Alex lied and I looked at OliverHis face showed concern for his mother. "Where is she now?" H
Lisa's POVTears rolled down my cheeks as I stared at Alex who laid down on the hospital bed unconscious. Oliver walked in and placed his hands on my shoulder. "He'll be alright." He reassured me."It's been three days and he hasn't woken up." I reminded him with a worried expression. I was really worried that something bad would happen to him and I was not ready to lose him because I loved him so much."Kim and James are already in jail, you've got justice. The cops found the CCTV and the recording showed that Kim's men attacked him. They caught the waiter and he confessed." He revealed with a light smile.I nodded. It was definitely great news that Kim and James were already in jail but Alex was still unconscious and that was what made me sad. "I have a feeling all will be alright." I told him, I wanted to muster up courage.He smiled.Suddenly, Alex's hands moved towards mine and I almost screamed. "He's awake." I told Oliver who quickly ran to call the doctor.&
