Chapter 6 Trailing

Angelica Montez 

The loud bangs on my door could not allow me to sleep, I kept turning from one side of the bed to the other, I covered my whole body with the blanket but it was not helping I tried covering my ears with the pillows but the banging sounds keep on getting worse, it came to a point and I could not take it anymore, I angrily threw the pillow and the blanket away as I came down from the bed and match towards the door, but as I opened my door the annoying smiling face of Alexandre was what greeted me and I wished I could smack his face and slammed the door on him, if only wished were horses.

“Good morning” He waved showing me his annoying smirk, 

“What's so good about this morning?” I faked a smile with my two hands folded, it's obvious that I'm pissed already

“You have to accompany me to trail my girlfriend today”

“Accompany you? Why should I do that?” I asked sarcastically 

“Cause you're the one who said that my girlfriend is not who I think she is so of course you have to follow me cause we have a lot of work to do”

“Work? Nhhh that's your business, I never said I was going to help you with finding out whoever it is that you're dating, that's your problem not mine, so why should I accompany you” I glared at him and tried to go back inside, but he suddenly grabbed my hand, 

“I overheard it when you were talking with your stepmother on the phone yesterday, she threatened to erase your name from the Will if you did not end up reviving the Montez Family company’’

I sighed already knew what he's hinting at 

“So?”

“So, if you don't accompany me today I'm going to cancel our new deal and the contract as well” He smirked, I stared at him for a few seconds and gently disentangled his hand from mine. 

“Just because you know my story and how my family treats me doesn't mean you should threaten me with it” At this point the tears I was fighting back to hold fell on its own but I quickly wipe it immediately, 

“I'll get ready” I said to him and went inside, he was still standing there staring at me when I slammed the door on his face. I went straight into the bathroom and took my bath, after which I began searching the closet for what to wear.

I used to have a perfect life before, I was once a princess of both my father and my mother, life was a bird of roses for me, I lacked nothing, I was one of those that were born with a golden spoon, everything was going well in my life until that faithful day in highschool when my mother lost her life on a plane crash while she was on family business. 

That was the day my life problem began my mother's best friend who has always worshipped my mother became so good to me I thought that was how it was going to be so I advised my father to get married to her since she's already like a mother figure to me and she's someone I used to know, at first my father was against my advice saying that he do not mind being single for the rest of his life, but I went on to pressure my father telling him how much I wanted a sister and now is the best opportunity to get one, my father who wanted nothing but to make me happy went on and heed my advice so he got married to my mother's best friend.

For the first one month after their wedding she was good, but after that she began changing, started manipulating my father's mind and finally she took control of making decisions in the family, ever since then my life has never remained the same, and I know I'm the one to be blamed for it, I caused everything, I thought I was doing the right thing but it ended up I planted my own downfall, my mother must be turning in her grave right now seeing how the company and family she worked so hard to build has almost fallen apart.

My father made my stepmother the CEO of the company and ever since then, she's been mismanaging the company funds, I don't even know how everything came crashing, and every damn time instead of her to stop her frivolous daughter, Regina, from the lavish lifestyle she's living she's here threatening me with the Will.

I promise my dead mother that I'm going to do everything in my power to revive the Montez Group Of Company, and that's why I didn't say anything when they forced me to marry Alexandre in place of Regina, that's also the reason why I'm condoning all of Alexandre's bullshit, I'm doing everything for my mother.

I finished getting ready and went downstairs, Alexandre was already waiting for me so as soon as he saw me, we both made our way outside the mansion

“Which car do you want us to ride in?” 

I looked around the garage that was filled with different luxury cars, I wanted to ask if he's selling cars but remembering his annoying attitude, I held it in and turned away, 

“You don't want to answer, then let's ride in the Lamborghini Aventador, we both got into the car and he drove off. I didn't say anything to him till he stopped the car in front of an apartment which I figured out might be his girlfriend’s apartment, I watched as he brought out his phone and dialed her number,

“Good morning babe” She greeted cause it was on speaker, 

“Morning, how are you doing?”

“Not feeling fine babe”

“Really, I was planning to come over today”

“So sorry about that babe, I don't think it's a good idea I don't want to infect you with the flu”

“Alright babe, rest well I'll call you later, love you”

“Love you too” 

I almost rolled my eyes at the last part as the call ended,

“I think we should drive back’’ He said to me

“Why don't you wait a little longer”

“My woman is sick, are you insinuating she's lying to me?”

“What if she is?”

“Shes not” He concluded and ignited the wheel, 

“Who's that?” I pointed at a familiar figure, he looked up immediately 

“Isn't that your girlfriend, whose car is she entering, I thought she's sick and cannot come out?” 

He picked his phone immediately and dialed her number

“Where are you?”

“On the bed babe, I told you I'm sick” 

He ended the call, and ignited the car

“What are you doing?” 

“Trailing them, I know she is going to the hospital, she just do not want me to worry”
