The old man's eyes widened in horror as he heard Alex's voice. He definitely didn't want to die. “Mr. Go…ld, what are you doing here?” He stuttered. Alex walked with Grace towards Megan. “Let go” Alex ordered with an expressionless face and immediately, the men holding Megan released her. They were so scared that they could hear the sound of their own heart beat. “Alex…” Megan uttered, she felt a sense of relief washed over her at the sight of him. “Did he touch you?”. Alex asked, and Megan could only shake her head subtly in dejection. She didn't understand the gravity of what she had just done, all she thought was that Alex would speak sense to the old man, but it went otherwise. “What brings you, Mr. Alexander?” The man asked with a trembling voice, it was evident that he was terrified. “Why! Are there restrictions on certain places I can't be?” Alex questioned in a tone filled with sarcasm. “That aside, he continued, what is going on here? “ He asked as his eyes shone with
“Take him away” Alex ordered in a chill tone. The guards dragged Mr. Hades away, who was wailing from the pain of the bullet.“Clean up this place” Alex walked upstairs, as he headed into the bathroom, staring at his reflection in the mirror, his shirt was stained with Hades blood.He removed the shirt as he tossed it in the bin, the anger was yet to dissipate from his eyes, the last time he had gone berserk for a woman was for Brittany.Memories of that night flooded his head, they had gone to a club together, and Brittany was looking so sexy and enticing, they were dancing on the dance floor, she was absolutely breathtaking.Alex chuckled at the irony of his life, a call came in, and he had to leave Brittany for a minute and when he got back, some sleazy old hag was touching her. The man never lived to see another day. Alex was so obsessed with Brittany, he would kill anyone who tried to touch her or even flirt with her.For minutes, the tap has been running while Alex washed his h
Megan looked at the flowers, and back at Alex, he was making an effort and it was something. “Fine by me” she replied reluctantly.“Get dressed, we will leave in an hour” Alex stated and walked away.“The audacity!” Megan shrugged as she closed the door, a small smile crept its way to her face. It's been ages since she received flowers, and it made her genuinely happy, despite the fact that the flowers were from Alex.There was an empty vase sitting pretty on the table, an idea crossed Megan's mind as she approached the table, she picked up the vase and filled it halfway with water, before arranging the flowers in it.“This is perfect!” Megan complimented herself as she stared at her arrangements of the flowers.She opened the box of chocolates and took one out while munching on it, she went through her clothes looking for something to wear.Megan eventually settled for a two — piece casual dress, and she applied minimal makeup, she contemplated between letting her hair down or packin
Chapter 27“Alex, what are you doing? Let go of my hands!” Megan cried out, but it was futile, Alex opened the car door and forced her in. Closing the door with a loud bang, he got into the car and started driving.“What is wrong with you, Alex, I just asked a question?” Megan asked, rubbing her wrists, which were red due to Alex's grip.Alex paid no attention to her, his eyes fixed on the road as he stepped on the accelerator, he was driving fast at this point, anger clouded his vision.“Alex slowed down, I might puke” Megan complained, but he didn't stop, instead the car went faster.Megan was so scared it felt like her heart was going to jump out, she kept on glaring at Alex as pondered what made him so furious. She held on to her seatbelt tightly, praying fervently that nothing unfortunate happens on the road, she watched Alex, his hands on the steering wheels were tight.“Where are we going?” Megan asked, confused, she was new in France, but she knew this wasn't the route they ha
Alex!!!. Megan immediately got out of the bed. She turned the bed lamp on and walked to the couch where Alex was, tapping him gently, Alex stirred up abruptly and hugged Megan tightly. I… I..killed…them. He murmured incoherently.Megan didn't understand what he was saying, but she was taken aback by his action. She slowly raised her hands to his back, patting him gently.“It's alright, you are alright” Megan said in a comforting tone and gradually Alex tensed muscles started to relax. They both remained like that for a few minutes until Alex fell asleep again. When Megan noticed he was asleep she laid him back on the couch and covered him properly.The next morning, when Alex woke up, Megan wasn't in the room, he stood up with a frown on his gorgeous face, and he left the room, getting downstairs he was surprised to see Megan sitting on the dining table with a mug in her hands, she was clad in a bathroom robe with her gaze fixed intently to the television.Alex relaxed instantly upon
“Oh my ride's here” Megan announced as she locked her phone, giving Shayna a small smile. She admired the fact that Alex had such a good family, yet she wondered how he grew up to be so cold."Alright dear, please drop by whenever you have the time to have dinner with us, I would really like to spend more time with you. "Shayna said as she hugged Megan once again, Megan returned the hug with a smile.“I will try my best,” Megan said as she hugged Alex's father as well.Alex escorted Megan outside acting like a gentleman who carried nothing but grace, “we will be waiting right here” his father communicated with a mischievous smirk.When they got out of the waiting lounge,”Why did you call for a ride?” Alex mentioned.“I tried calling Loyd, but he wouldn't pick, Enzo is out of the city and I don't want to bother my dad” Megan replied“Safe ride then” Alex expressed. It was evident in his tone that he was slightly disappointed.Megan confirmed the ride before she got inside. On getting h
Megan stayed in a room throughout the day, watching movies while doing her skincare. She was bored to death, but at the moment Loyd wasn't going to talk to her. At night, just when she was about to sleep, she heard when her father returned, but she decided to stay in after all she would see him tomorrow.Morning came quickly and Megan got out of bed, groggily, she showered before heading downstairs, she was surprised to see a full table, her father was seated at the head, Enzo and Loyd were also present.“And the princess is finally awake” Enzo announced in a teasing tone.“Good morning everyone” Megan greeted as she took a seat next to Enzo while looking at Loyd who couldn't hold her gaze.“Good morning to you Megan" her father responded In a happy tone which was surprising to Megan and her brothers as well.“How was the trip back?” Mr. Leonard asked, this was the first time he was engaging Megan in a conversation since her return.Loyd and Enzo looked at each other. since they came
“What did you just say Enzo?” Mr. Leonard asked. He was the first to break the awkward silence after Enzo announced his wedding.“Do I need to repeat myself? He said, raising his eyebrows. Okay, I am getting married” Enzo declared in a firm tone.“Just what the actual fuck is happening in this house” Loyd added as he walked towards the small bar area close to the dinning, he needed a drink to clear his head.“Who is she?” Mr. Leonard asked.“Who is she and where is she from? It is nobody's business, I'm telling you all now as my family, so have it at the back of your mind” Enzo replied.One of Enzo's characteristics is that he is calm and cool-headed but at the same time he was dangerous, he was not one to argue and was slow to anger unlike Loyd.“I won't let you marry some lowlife, that decision will not hold” Leonard countered.“Of course” Loyd scoffed, downing the entire glass of whiskey at once.Megan stood up from her seat as she walked towards Loyd, grabbing the bottle from him
