Alexis’s POV “ It's true like I was told, you are in Switzerland, and you couldn't meet up with her.” My mother said when we were alone. I knew she would find out one way or the other, it either had to be my father or Gerald who must have told her, and all I wanted to do was get to know why exactly they would do so. “ I am.” I hated how cold my voice came out, but it was the least I could do. I didn't like it either. It wasn't like I enjoyed this, like I didn't want to meet up with her, or I had done this on purpose. “ So?” She asked. “What would you say is the reason why you haven't met with her yet? I don't get it, she is your wife.”“ Was,” I corrected.“ She is pregnant with your child. I brought you up better than this, you have to take responsibility when you knock someone up, what do you think is wrong with you, Alex?” I knew I had to, it wasn't like I was running away from it. “ I didn't say I wasn't going to do so.” I answered her. “ Then what do you think you are doin

Alexis's POV It had been difficult getting my mum to leave, but when she finally did so, I knew I had to go as well. I couldn't bring myself to stay back here when she was just a few steps away from me. How was I to know that she would have wanted to see me? That she wouldn't be detested by me? I couldn't come to terms with the fact that even after all that I had done to her she still wanted to talk to me, she would have let me hug her if I had insisted, what exactly have I done? I knew I had to leave, get away from Switzerland because it had nothing for me, the least I could do was show her that I had changed, and was ready to do whatever it was just so I can have her to myself. The ride back to the airport left me numb, I fought within myself trying so hard not to give instructions for him to turn back so I could confront her and when he finally came to a stop, I knew this was it, there was no way I would be able to go back anymore. ************“ Alexis.” My father's voice ca

Deadlock

Alexis's POV My hands ran through my hair while I peered at the monitor in front of me. I was putting everything in line for this, my relationship with Nortia and my life with my child as well. I needed to be sure that this wasn't going to go against me somehow, but how was it possible to know that? I waited for an answer from Mrs Smith, one which wasn't forthcoming, she was important in this and I had to do everything within my power to get her to agree with me. “Boss..” the door cranked open when he got in which had me swirling my head immediately. “ Have you gotten any news yet? One which can be important to us?” “First of all, the audit team has raided the Edwards corporation, and at this moment, they should be trying to get him to talk, not that they have seen anything yet, but the shell company was used in clamping down on him.”“ Is there something else?” I needed something else aside from the audit. Something worth tangible of holding onto. “Mrs. Smith might be willing t

Strayed

Nortia's POVMy eyes glued to the phone I was grasping, staring at the message I had gotten about my parents, the one where I had to come and attend to their ashes and I didn't know what to think about them. I had thought Alexis was in charge of that, but maybe I was wrong, besides we weren't together anymore for him to look after them, they were mine now. I was supposed to be glad that he hadn't listened when I had told him initially to throw their ashes into the sea. I should be glad that he had steadfastly refused to do as I had said,but now, I don't know what to think. I wasn't ready to go back there, the press and everyone wouldn't bode well on me. Also, I didn't need the fact that I was with child out, the only way I could think about doing this was staying back, but how exactly was I to do so with the message I just got? My hands strayed to my tummy which I caressed, a little bulge and every time I took a glance at it, it was difficult to believe that I was growing a human
