ALEXANDER'S POV

I folded my arms and stared at Mirabelle, my face devoid of emotion, but inside, a storm brewed.

She stood in the middle of my penthouse, arms crossed too, her expression carefully composed, but I could see the nervousness creeping in. She wasn’t expecting this.

I leaned against the bar, my gaze never leaving hers. “Where were you last night? Please answer my question I'm sure you heard me.”

She blinked, feigning confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t play dumb, Mirabelle.” My voice was cold and precise. “Where were you?”

She let out a light laugh, tossing her hair over her shoulder. “I was at home. Why are you suddenly questioning me?”

I didn’t react, didn’t give her the satisfaction of a response. Instead, I let the silence stretch between us.

Her hands trembled slightly. “Alex, what is this about?”

"It's about what I asked you, where were you? And before you think of lying, don't forget that I was still at home before you left. I sat in my car and watched your car p

    RUBBY'S POV The door slammed shut behind him and my legs gave away immediately.I had thought all these were over, what on earth was still happening? What did that deadly woman want?I stood for some seconds frozen and staring at the door handle, hoping, praying and wishing that Alex would come back safe and sound for me and my baby. I knew Mrs Emily had other plans, I just didn't know what it was.I forced my trembling hand to lock every bolt on the front door before hurrying to the windows to shut the curtains as well as secure the latches.Throughout the whole time, my hand kept trembling, my breathing was shallow, and even my palms were sweaty; I just knew something was wrong.A thought hit me, how about I call Josh and inform him of what his mother was about to do? Or wait? Did he know? Were they partners?"No," I shook my head. I had just heard his mother say that he had turned against her.I quickly reached for my phone and dialled Josh's number with shaky fingers; thankfully,

    ALEXANDER'S POV "I can see a bump," I muttered when I had successfully undressed her."Alex!" She exclaimed and burst out laughing, "There is no bump; I'm bloated, maybe.""It's a bump, look at it," I added."It's not even up to a month, that's not a bump," she laughed.I knew there was no bump, I only wanted to hear her laugh. Who would have believed that hours ago I was boiling in rage?"Come here," I whispered and took her lips in mine. She stood her her toes till I had to carry her into the bathroom.The water in the bathtub was hot, just as Rubby had demanded.I massaged her shoulders gently while fighting the urge to just get into her already."Baby," she called sweetly."Yeah?" I muttered "Nobody will ever take your place, can you stop doubting me already?"I stayed mute for some time, processing what she had just said; I didn't realise that was what my act had meant."I do trust you, babe; I just felt my heart burn when you hugged him; I mean, you should only hug me.""Yes,

    ALEXANDER'S POV Josh insisted on relocating with Annie after the whole drama died down. I couldn't stop him, he needed it. His mother was in prison, and his only brother was dead.My mother left too, promising to come back any time I forgave her. Well, one thing I was sure of was that she would be in attendance on my wedding day.It was a new day, the 14th of February. The day my future will be sealed, both in business and in Love.Late the previous day, The chairman had signed the ownership to me, including his shares.That morning, the room was a flurry of activities. My stylist adjusted my tie for the third time, and the event coordinator kept reciting the program line by line.I looked at the full-length mirror. Of course, Rubby had no choice but to fall in love with a handsome dude like me. I wore a navy blue tuxedo with a white shirt. My pocket square was folded to perfection, I looked every inch the CEO of Wolfe's incorporation.My mind drifted to Rubby, I had prepared a surp

    RUBBY'S POV Alex bit his teeth hard as Josh walked away. Were they really even? So Mrs. Laura will go Scott free? I thought to myself.We waited for Nolan. Surprisingly, I was no longer mad at him; I just wanted him to survive and serve his term. The waiting room was so silent that even Alex had not said anything still.I sat stiffly on the chair there, my hand still had dried blood on it. Nolan's blood, just the same way Trisha's blood had stained my hand then.I shuddered at the thought. Aside from our beef because of Nolan, she was a sweet girl.Alex paced a few feet away, with his hands in his pocket. He had not spoken since Josh left. I wondered what could be running in his head, but I allowed him to grieve. Kevin was his brother too. No matter what, he was family with them, regardless of how they painted it. A lot has happened in a month and few days, but I had a strong feeling that this was all. We were finally going to stay in peace.My mind drifted to the last-minute drama

    RUBBY'S POV My eyes widened in Horror. "It's your fault," she whispered.Everything happened in seconds. The sound of a gunshot shattered the silence one more time.One second, I was staring at Emily's burning eyes, and the next second, Nolan dived in front of me and took the bullet instead."No!" I screamed as the bullet pierced into him. From where Alex stood, I saw dread, raw fear in his eyes. He must have thought I was the one with the way he turned to Kevin's mom.Nolan hit the ground hard and the gun he held slipped away and clattered across the driveway.I stopped breathing for a second; my lungs were frozen, and so was my heart. For a moment the world stopped.Emily trembled as she turned to Kevin's direction. Her mouth parted but she couldn't form a word. The gun she held fell from her hand and hit the pavement with a soft thud.Everywhere became so quiet."Nolan," I said breathlessly, dropping to my knees beside him. "Stay with me," I begged. "Look at me, don't close them y

    RUBBY'S POV "Why did you say that?" I said to Alex widening my eyes in horror."Do what?" Alex asked pretending not to know what he had done."Why did you ask him to run after him? Can't you see he is with a gun?""I didn't see that," Alex answered looking confused. I knew that look, he knew exactly what he was doing.I shook my head. "That's not how things are done. Nolan might end up killing him or even the other way around. Do you think Kevin came to such a gathering without a weapon?""I will go check," Alex said and made to leave, but I held him back. "Are you leaving me here? I'm going with you."He nodded, and we both rushed outside, panicking. Nolan was already at the gate when we stepped outside, Kevin's black Mercedes roared past, speeding like it knew it was a demon behind the wheel.Nolan didn't even think about it for a second. He jumped into his own car and went after him."We should stop him," I cried.Alex turned to me. "Rubby, please go inside, you shouldn't be doin
