"sir I have no idea who you are referring to. I haven't heard that name before." Alice said confidently and Alex kept mute. He did not know if he should totally believe her or not but a part of him kept telling him that the young lady would not lie to him like that. And from her appearance, she did not look like someone who had anything to hide. "Okay then. You can have your job back but you will be under probation. If you are caught flirting with anyone else in this office, I can assure you that it won't matter if you bring your relatives to beg, I am still going to fire you. Do you understand that?" Alex asked "Yes sir. I understand it perfectly well." She said smiling. "Very good. And oh Alice, I better not hear that another version of what happened here. When your co workers asked you why you have not been fired, tell them the truth. If I happen to hear another version of the story, you will be out of my company and I will personally ensure that no one else hires you. Am I und

Alex could feel his blood boiling and he knew that Davina would not just take such information with a pinch of salt. "Davina, I am making it clear to you now, if you so much as touch a hair on their head, you will have a very big problem with me." "Oh come on now. Don't worry about it. I would never do anything to hurt you or your family. You don't get it do you? Well let me explain it to you my darling. Part of the reason I took Ivy is because she is a secondary person in your life and she is trying to take you away from me. You know we have as connection Alex but with someone like this girl in the picture, you will never admit to it and so I had to take her and hope that she has fooled you enough to actually fall in love with her so that I can use that to my advantage to get what I want. Now with your family it is totally different, I want them to love me and I know very well that if I hurt them, they won't love me and they will never accept me. So you can be sure that I won't tou

Ivy could not think straight. She was not able to decipher if she was saying the truth or if she was just looking for new ways to taunt her. How could Alex have been with her without her knowing? She was not sure that women like her could actually want to be with a man that had no money and Alex had told her that after he made money, only a selected few persons were still with him or was he lying to her through all that?But then again, she knew that Alex had a way with the ladies. He had a way of making them fall for him even without money but he could not believe that his sweet words would work on women who has a lot of cash at their feet. "Oh I can see from the look on your face that he did not tell you that right? Well, how about that? I guess your precious man lied to you about a lot of things as well." Davina said with a smirk on her face. "And how do I know that you are not lying to me?" She asked. "Does it really matter? What matters is that you thought you knew your man bu

"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked. "Well you guys would have just served your time and gotten out of prison as free women. What do you think is going to happen if Alex does not decide to go through with your plan." "Are you serious?" Rebecca said as she turned to look

The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it
