THEY WILL HEAR FROM MELexi's Point Of View I sat on the bed and brought out my phone to answer some emails. Yes, I'd spent the whole day trying to speak with some of my mother's former business partners. You know, lot of them stopped investing in my mother's company when they found out what happened that day. And I don't blame them one bit. No one in his right senses would want to associate with a company that had such scandalous news. But thankfully, I made sure to text all of them, asking them if they'll like to reinvest in my mother's company. It was a breath of fresh air to see that they all agreed without batting an eye. Indeed my mother was right when she said they were loyal business partners. She said they were people that she can trust. I really wasn't't expecting them to agree so soon. In fact, I wasn't expecting them to agree at all. I mean they all withdrew their investments when I was framed for killing my mother and I never expected them to want to have anything
Lexi's Point Of View “Don't worry about them, Lia. I am out of prison and that's all that matters for now.” I said amidst my chuckles. If care is not taken, Lia would go back to that prison yard and demand to know why they haven't been giving me the cookies that she's been bringing for me. That was how crazy she was. But no matter how crazy she was, I still loved her and I was never going to trade her for anything. She is the sister I never had. Most times I find myself wishing that she was my biological sister. “Anyways, where are you staying currently? I went to your house this morning, but I was told by the maids that you don't live there anymore. Plus I didn't meet your family members at home too and I was wondering if they've finally moved out of your mother's house. I swear to God, I'll be happy to know that they are no longer staying in your mother's house anymore." “Of course not. They haven't moved out. I think they are at the hospital right now.” I answered and I cou
Lexi's Point Of View I was about to take a quick nap since I had nothing to do, when a sharp knock came at the door. I just hope it isn't Ethan. But then again, I knew that if he was the one, he wouldn't have knock before coming in. That was how crazy he was. Maybe not crazy. But stupid. What if it was his father? Oh goodness! I don't think I want to face that man again. Especially after what happened that night. I know he has asked me not to worry about anything, but I don't think I can help it. I still can't believe that I had a one night stand with him. Well, I love the fact that I got married to the same man who had stolen my virginity. “Who is there?” I asked after taking a deep breath. I was expecting his deep baritone voice to come up, but instead I was met with a feminine voice. The voice doesn't belong to Grace the housekeeper. She was the only one I knew would dare to come to my room. So who else could it be? “It's me, Madame. Can I come in, please ?" She asked. “Com
Lexie's POV "Alexandra Thompson, you have been granted your freedom." Your appeal has been approved. "From this day forward, you are no longer confined to this cell. You are now a free woman," the warden announced, his voice firm but laced with empathy. All I could do was stare at the middle-aged man in disbelief, my mind racing with his words. “What did you just say, Mr Felix?” I asked in shock. I had to make sure I heard him clearly. “Congratulations, Miss Lexi. Try as much as possible to stay out of trouble, so you don't come back here. You could lose your senses. Stay safe,” He flashed a smile at me before walking away. Goodness! This was finally happening! I've finally been released from this hell hole after three painful years. After what felt like forever, I stood up from the bench as I made my way out of the cold, grey prison walls, feeling the warm sun on my skin for the first time in three years. I took a deep breath, to calm my frazzled nerves. I can't be
Lexis's POV I stumbled out of the house, my heart heavy with the height of Ethan's betrayal. I can't believe that he would do such a thing to me. Moving on so fast and worst of all, with my step sister. I swear, if it were someone else, I wouldn't have been so angry like I am now. I have long expected a lot of things from my family. Even though I was still shocked that my step mother would pay the wardens to kill me, I'm not surprised. She is a cruel woman and she would do anything to get whatever she wants. If she could kill my mother, who was once her best friend, just because she wanted the company, she would do anything. If she could seduce my father and get pregnant for him when my mother was still barren, she would do anything. So I'm not even surprised that she wanted me dead. She wants to wipe me off the face of the earth so that she would keep the company to herself, I guess. But never for once did it cross my mind that Ethan would betray me too. The pain and anger th
Lexi's POV Unable to bear it anymore, I turned and walked away, leaving my family to their mocking laughter. I have a long and difficult road ahead of me, but I was determined to succeed. I wanted to reclaim my mother's company, Eclipse Holdings, and restore it back to its former glory. I would get my mother's properties and I'll clear my name. I'll let everyone know that I wasn't responsible for my mother's death. I'll let everyone know that the real culprits are my father, my step mother and step sister. Before anything else, I got to the bank and withdrew some funds from my account. Claudia and my father have freezed all my accounts, including my mom's own, but little did they know that there was one bank account left. Only my mother and I have access to it. When I was done, I made my way straight to the cab station, ready to go to my mother's company, my heart racing with anticipation. I hadn't set foot in the building since her death and the thought of going back the
Lexi's POV He smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Yes. I'm sorry for hitting you with my car” he said. I felt a shiver run down my spine at the huskiness of his voice. “It's fine,” I said as I tried to leave the bed, but he pushed me back gently. “You can't leave. The doctor said you need to rest,” He said softly, but I shook my head. “I can't stay here. I have important things to attend to,” I said firmly, but he shook his head. “You have to rest. You have been through hell already,” He said. I couldn't help but feel that he wanted something from me. “What do you want from me?” I asked as I folded my hands across my chest and he chuckled. “You are indeed smart,” he said, as he winked at me. He stood up from where he sat and walked towards the window, with his hands behind his back but he turned to face me. “First things first, we have to introduce ourselves. I am Julian,” “Lexi,” I gave a curt reply. “I know all about you, Lexi,” he said, his eyes glinting wit
Lexi's POV “He is your boyfriend?” Julian asked and I gritted my teeth in anger. By ‘is’ he was indirectly acknowledging that we were still together. “Not at all, Julian. He's my ex. We are no longer together” I answered, my eyes never for once leaving Ethan's face. Ethan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched. “So, you are the one who has been fucking my father, huh? You are the bitch that my father wants me to meet, huh?” He sneered and I rolled my eyes. “You were so desperate for a man's touch that you had to go after my father. Just how shameless can you be, Lexi? It could have been someone else for heaven's sake” I felt a surge of rage at his words, but I kept my cool. I can't let him know that his words were getting to me. Ethan was a punk and he would be pleased to know that his words were affecting me. I can't give him that satisfaction. “To hell with you, Ethan. You have no right to speak to me like that,” I spat my voice barely audible. “You betrayed me by fucking my

Margaret's Point Of View I dialed Daniel's phone and waited patiently for him to pick it up. He is Ethan's best friend and the only person who I know can talk senses into Ethan without any fear in the world. Whenever I need anything from Ethan, I make sure to ask Daniel to help me or whenever I needed someone to talk some senses into Ethan, he was my next option and thankfully, he always knows how to talk some senses into Ethan. Till date, I still have no idea how he does it. But I'm glad that he always helps. Daniel didn't pick at first and just when I tried to call him again, his call came in and without hesitation, I answered the phone. “Hi, daniel?” I was sure to clear my throat before speaking up. I have to speak in a firm voice. “Hi, Marga. Sorry I didn't pick up at first. I was with someone.” He answered and I giggled. “Who is she? Your new fling, huh?” I teased and the next minute, he burst into laughter. He knows that I know whenever he is with a woman and he never t
Margaret's Point Of View “Have you tried calling him again?” My mother inquired as soon as she walked out of the ward where my daughter was placed and I couldn't even bring myself to answer her. She knows that I've been trying to reach Ethan, but I haven't been able to get to him. I've tried calling him over and over again, but he isn't even picking his calls. The last time I called him was two minutes ago and now that I've tried to call him again, I find out that he has switched off his phone. But the fact that he switched off the phone didn't even bother me. What pissed me off was the fact that he was at his father's house currently. Yes, I had tried to track him when he wasn't returning my calls, because I wanted to know where he was. And now that he is at his father's house, there is every tendency that he is with my fucking step sister. The fool is with LEXI. And that thought filled me with nothing but anger and more hatred for Lexi. She is the reason why my daughter is i
Julian's Point Of View “You got married to that girl?” He asked and I nodded like he could see me. He knows about my obsession with my son's girlfriend ever since I set my eyes on her. In fact, when I met Lexi for the first time, I wanted to take things forward with her. I wanted to tell her how I have been admiring her for a long time and I wanted her to be my girlfriend…. No, not just my girlfriend. I wanted something more. I wanted her to be my wife. Yes, my wife. So she could have my kids. I've always wanted more kids, but my ex-wife never wanted one. She said her body was more important to her than any kids and I didn't push her to go against her wish. Now back to, Lexi. Of course, I told my friend about it. First of all, he was against me getting married to someone who was old enough to be my daughter. He asked me to go for someone else. And when I also found out that she was my son's girlfriend, I also told him about it. And Marcus was happy. The brute really didn't wan

Julian's Point Of View I was about to leave my study and go to my little wife when a call came in on my phone. I wanted to ignore it. Heaven knows I wanted to, but I decided to sit back and answer the call. I reached for the phone which was across the table. The caller ID flashed in my eyes and I exhaled sharply. It was my best friend, Marcus. We've been together since we were teenagers. We did virtually everything together and we even went to the same college. We didn't lose contact with each other, even though we both went separate ways. During my time in college, I made lots of friends who turned out to be business partners till date. But as for Marcus, we are still very close friends till now, even though it's been over thirty years. Thirty? Nah! I think it's over forty. That's how long we've been together. “Hey, man. What's up with you?” His usual grumpy voice came up. “Marcus! What have you been up to?” I asked him and he exhaled. We haven't spoken in a while, especiall
Ethan's Point Of View What the fuck is wrong with me? I hissed through gritted teeth as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I hadn't gone in there to seduce Lexi. I had only gone there to scold her for hurting my daughter. Yet, I had gone in there to make a fool of myself. I should have left when I heard the shower running, indicating that she was in the bathroom, but I couldn't. It was as if my legs had lost their balance and I couldn't move. I'd wanted to see that succulent body once again. I wanted to touch it.One thing I've come to know about her is the fact that she never fails to leave the bathroom naked. I've been with her for three years to know such little details about her. She rarely leaves the bathroom with her towel draped around her body. And when I heard that she was in the bathroom, I knew she was gonna do the same thing. And boy, she didn't disappoint. I could vividly remember how my cock felt at the thought of her body, pressed against mine. It's safe to sa
