He was getting depressed and couldn’t even master the courage to make the first move by reaching out to her.He now had a fair idea of how Alice felt when he did that to her a few days ago. Knowing how petty Alice was when she was angry, it won’t surprise him if she’s really keeping her distance from him to pay him back in his own coins.Funny enough, it seems like he can’t take what he dished out himself. He took his phone severally to call her but couldn’t, he always drops the phone.Feeling restless, he couldn’t sit still on the couch without fidgeting so instead he got up on his foot and began pacing around in the room.“Ring!

He jumped up in fright and took his phone out of his poc

Well that was the plan in the beginning before it was changed to a public beach because they wanted the kids to interact more with the outside world. That morning was a fascinating one in the house of the Johnsons. Grandma and grandpa spent the night over at their mansion and the kids couldn’t be happier. They all wake up early in the morning and rushed straight to their rooms to have some play time with them.Alice and Alexander were still sound asleep cuddled in each other arms when the kids burst into the room high on sugar.“Mummy!

Daddy! Daddy! Junior won’t give me back my tablet!”, she exclaimed angrily while looking at her father through the mirror.“Oh come on Ale!

They got to the public beach but a look at how everyone was scattered around was enough to make the family feel unsafe and uncomfortable. With a little discussion amongst themselves, they make their way to the private beach just miles away. Alexander drove the family to the private beach through a dense atmosphere but with his hands and Alice’s intertwined, he doesn’t have much to worry about.He parked his car securely at the parking space and got out with a stretch as he took in his new environment. He kept looking around till he saw the familiar grey haired couples arguing by the entrance.He crackled softly and shook his head in amazement, those two don’t seem to function with each other and can’t function with each other. He heard a loud stretch and turned to see that Alice out of the car with Junior helping her with Aiden while she was holding Aurora’s hand in hers. Then a loud banging of the car door brought his attention to the sulking looking Alexia. But before he could addre

He glance at the stranger with a thoughtful expression and suddenly he had a bad feeling about her, her presence was making unsettle.“Hello dear, it seems you who I am but strangely enough, I don’t know you and have never heard anything about you.” Alexander spoke out with a smile but within, he doesn’t know how to feel about the girl in front of him. He felt his heart drop in his chest when he looked at the girl who lifted up her head to his face in front of him. She looked a bit older than Alexia at a glance and had the same Johnson’s eyes but not the hair. If he was being truthful, he will dare say she looks a little like his grandmother, Lilly.“Sorry Mr. J, I haven’t visited your house before because I’ve not been able to get the permission from my parents. I promise to visit you soon.” She spoke softly making Alexander terrible within. The strange feeling he had about the girl increase considerably after he saw her for himself.“What’s your name?”, he questioned her.“Oh? My nam

It didn’t take long for the security personnels to get that particular footage of Alexia making her way to the car because the time frame was known.With a heavy heart, Alexander watched his daughter escape through the second opening where the washroom was located and made her way to the second car park. He saw how anxious she was and how she was looking over her shoulders until she meet up with the girl he met her sitting with earlier. Just like the teenagers said, they do look alike except their height differences and the difference in their hair color. They could easily pass as a twins, but that didn’t worry him as much as the fact that he knew nothing about the girl in question. He watched them with a tight fist as they made their way to a white jeep parked a few steps from the hiding spot of the girl. He took notice of the car plate and thanked his stars that he made the wise decision of providing the beach house with secret cameras years ago after an incident of a murder occurr

One, he is not getting his hands on my company and two, he’s definitely not laying a finger on my daughter. Jake get Mike on the phone, we have an hour before all this blows up in our faces”, he stated with so much confidence that the others won’t help but admire him.A glance at the desperate look on Alice’s tearful face was all it took him to crumble down and his blood boil in anger.
