Chapter 2 Alex Xander Jr, heir of Allure Art and CEO of several companies of his own. At thirty two, he had achieved so much more than his father did in his lifetime, and he was still doing more. Even his brother, Larry Xander Snr who had raised and nurtured him in the family business could not deny that his younger brother was now almost doing far better than him. He was a father, though he couldn't really say he was a proud one but he made sure he did his best. Married to a famous actress, hell, she might even be the most famous and sought after actress in Hollywood at the moment, one would think Alex had it all. Was it the looks? He shook his head, if he was not being a narcissist, which he hated to admit he was, then he could definitely say he was one of the hottest men on the planet. He had often had ladies swoon about him at conferences, press gatherings and even in his office! It was one of the reasons why Ursula had been particularly uncomfortable with him having female sec

Chapter 4 Hayley Mikael hurried out of the hospital, this was the fifth place she was applying this week and in her resolve, it was the last one. She was angry, more with herself than with her father, and she hated herself already for having let him push her to take on this silly career. She was out of his house now, and hopefully he would let her be, she didn't mind being disowned, didn't even consider herself as his child to start with. As she waited for the elevator to open, her constant sighs were the only thing that filled the chilling silence in the empty hall. She glanced warily about, hoping that someone else would not join her in the elevator, she felt close to tears but she managed to hold herself. That man had been mean, too mean for a doctor. How was she supposed to answer all of his questions like a pro surgeon? It was why she was interning in the first place, to learn! She shook her head again, the embarrassment from that interview was still burning her cheeks red. A

chapter 6Hayley flagged a taxi and entered without even telling the driver where she was headed, the driver, who was looking at her through the rear view mirror did not say anything too and Hayley was grateful for that. She checked the time on her phone, it was a few minutes past eight. Hayley sighed and rested her head on the car seat with her eyes tightly shut. What was the point in even going for any more interviews? What was the point in trying so hard to please a man who saw her as nothing more than a mortgage? She sighed again and hummed a tuneless tune.Of course, she should be happy that she finally had the freedom to live above her father's demands. With a shrug, as if to convince herself that it was for good this time, she exhaled deeply and sat forward. The road was buzzing with activity, children off to school, the tiring horns of cars as they waited impatiently for the traffic to move. Hayley smiled at the refreshing sight and then she sighted the familiar building and

Chapter 8 “Brother.” “What is happening here?” The man asked, his face was squeezed in a tight frown and Hayley could not help but whimper when he looked at her, “What is she doing here?” He asked again. “She is my guest.” “What kind of guest?"A very important kind.” Alex said and walked back to his seat behind the desk. Hayley was still standing with her head bowed, and once again, her eyes caught the brightly polished shoes that the new man was wearing. She could only imagine how expensive they would cost. Even though Alex was looking disorganized today, she was still gawking at how hot he looked, and yet here was another super hot man from the same family."You. I think I know you." Hayley looked up, but she regretted it immediately because the man's eyes widened in what she assumed to be recognition. She quickly brought her face down again and wrapped her hands tightly in front of her while biting on her lower lip."It's you from the interview." The man said ago , this tim

Forbidden 10The doctor slipped a pill in Finn's mouth and quickly took the cup to his mouth. That way, he had no choice but to swallow. Finn looked at Alex and frowned at the doctor's deception but he gave the boy a reassuring smile. Finn returned his smile and lay back on the bed, the smile not wearing off. "He is doing so much better now." The doctor said proudly as he folded his kits into the small box he brought. Alex nodded, "He should. Thank you, Doctor."The doctor smiled and left.Alex gave the boy a light pat on the shoulder and whispered, "Get some rest, champ. Let me see the doctor off." He made to leave, but the boy's little hand grabbed him and held on, "You said you were going to come home with my mum today." Alex furrowed his brow and his smile disappeared immediately, "I said I might, if you get well." The boy's eyes clouded with tears, "But you promised!" "Did I?" "The doctor said I'm doing better!" The boy said bitterly."Yes, but not totally." Alex said and
