The following day after the party, Alexandra's foster parents and her kids returned to Africa. She hired a vehicle and escorted them to the airport and waited till their flight departed. The company she worked for had closed for the year so she had about a week to relax before resuming work. She used the time to finish up an online course.As for Kirklin Jefferson, he took over the ownership of a company towards the end of the year and he resumed work even though the majority of the staff were on holiday till the next year. He used the opportunity to meet with the key staff of the company and shared his vision for the company with them.He was beginning to feel vibrant again as he knew that his acquisition of the company was a stepping stone to his recovery. The key staff understood and appreciated his agenda for the organization and they pledged to render their full support and encourage the remaining staff to do the same.Kirklin worked alone all through the New Year holiday going t

Alexandra continued in her clerk position as well as her online service job. She began getting a lot of clients on the digital platform and could still send money to Africa for her family's upkeep. She retained her job as a clerk because she needed to still get the salary pending the time they would ask her to go. She felt she didn't have any dignity to maintain in the company again so it wasn't necessary for her to quit out of disgrace.Alexandra encouraged her low-level colleagues in her redeployed office to acquire some certifications to be able to make career progress. Afterwards. a number of them started to get good jobs after a few weeks and they resigned from the company. She was the only one remaining as she couldn't get a job because no one would employ her. New clerks who didn't know about her were employed and she was made to report to them. Those newly employed staff maltreated Alexandra and talked rudely to her.About 3 months into the new year, Alexandra noticed some cha

After the encounter between Kirklin and Alexandra in his office, his ears began to buzz continuously and he called his driver to take him to the hospital immediately. The pain he experienced in both ears was so uncomfortable that the doctor admitted him to the hospital for 2 weeks. He informed one of the directors to take charge of the affairs of the company as he didn't tell him he was under hospital admission.At first, he tried to work from the hospital bed but the pain in his ears wouldn't allow him to do anything so the doctors advised him to leave every form of work activity for that period and concentrate on his recovery. Kirklin was in a luxury hospital suite but he became very lonely as there was no one to call him to check up on his health. He had severed relations with his family and they didn't know that he was hospitalized so they couldn't fly in to visit him. He became very sad at the lonely life that he lived. He didn't have a girlfriend, a confidant, family, or anyone

As soon as the taxi that drove Kirklin stopped in front of the gate, Keith Jefferson who was in his study room got an alert from the security systems installed in the house that there was someone at the main gate. he checked for who it was via his computer and got the surprise of his life. It was Kirklin Jefferson. He had been receiving updates from his own aides on the great accomplishments Kirklin had been making and he prayed that this visit from his son meant he was finally coming back to his family.Keith tapped his fingertips on the armrest as he sat tensely in his chair. Since his son decided to break away from the family, it had been years since he had last seen him and everyone in the family couldn't help but be concerned about him. He immediately stood up from his chair and walked straight to the main gate to welcome him. He was the only one at home as his wife had escorted their daughter-in-law Ariella Jefferson to her office function. Ariella who is his wife's namesake and

Everyone returned to their locations and life resumed as normal. Alexandra used the break to refresh and plan her future. Kirklin had told his family of the Morrisons and the kids and they all looked forward to meeting them sometime soonHe traveled to Africa one more time and was determined to meet the busy mum of the 7 kids that he called his. No one had mentioned their dad and he didn't bother to probe further.He planned on spending a week and hoped that he would be able to discuss with the mom of his 7 kids how he wants to relocate back to the US from the Philippines and would want the kids and their family to move to the US as well. He would give them houses and cars and everything they needed to make life beautiful for all of them.He hoped that the kids' mum would agree as her disagreement would mean he would have to be coming to Africa from time to time to meet with the kids. His family had advised him to settle down in marriage and he had been giving it a thought so he plann
