CHAPTER FIFTY “What? What is the matter?” Alex asked the moment he noticed the countenance on her face but for a few seconds she refused to say any words to him. She glued her eyes on the screen of the computer still holding on to the card and refused to even look up to Alex. “Excuse me! Hello.” He called out to her again but still there was no response from the receptionist who appeared to have been pissed off from the way she was breathing. “Please can…” “Take this rubbish card and get out of here with your filthy self!” She finally yelled at him, as she stoned the card on his body making it bounce on his chest before it fell to the ground. Alex was taken aback, for a few seconds he couldn’t find the right words to say to her and this made him mumble some words that he himself couldn’t really understand. Slowly he bent down and picked up the card which was not too far away from him. He looked at it, turning it over and over again to be sure that there was nothing wrong with i

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO Everyone in the area turned away from the reception area and quickly moved towards a tall lady walking in with two scary guards on either side. At that moment, everyone especially the guard who wanted to hijack Alex and throw him out of the building was at attention. “What the hell is she doing here?” Alex said silently the moment he saw Tiara walking in with the two bodyguards beside her. With a smile on her face and her steps gradually increasing, Tiara walked up to Alex and hugged him to the astonishment of everyone, especially Rita. At that moment, the two bodyguards who came with Tiara had already pushed the guard trying to kick Alex off the building, they pushed him away to the side making him to stagger and almost fall to the ground. Ella gasped in shock when she saw this. “Who could she be? What really would she be doing with poor Richie?” Rita said to herself not sure if she was dreaming or awake. “Hello dear, sorry I am late. What seems to be the prob

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR Tiara continued to drag Alex gently through the hallway silently as he held on to his tacky bag firmly with the two guards matching behind them, he wanted to speak so many times but the presence of the bodyguards didn’t let him. He didn’t want to embarrass Tiara right before them so he waited for the right time. With Tiara still holding on to his hands, they walked towards the elevator and one of the guards rushed to open the door before they got to it and went up the last floor. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Tiara continued walking confidently towards the end of the hallway by their right. “How does she know this place so well!!?” Alex said to himself still trying to keep his hands in that position as Tiara held on to it. They soon got to the end of the hallway and Tiara took out the key card which she swiped on the door before her. It unlocked and she entered still holding on to Alex’s hand while the guards waited outside the door after one of them

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX Alex’s eyes widened as he turned towards Tiara, he wasn’t sure why he was even reacting that way but something told him that she made the decision harshly. “What did you call off the engagement Tiara?” He said calmly when he realized that he had acted out of impulse. Tiara turned to him and sighed, then she adjusted her body leaning forward from the chair. For a few seconds, she was lost in thought and said nothing to Alex who was waiting for her to speak. “Tiara?” “I don’t know alright! I don’t know!” “What do you mean by you don’t know? Do you just wake up to make such a decision? There must have been something, probably he cheated or something.” “Maybe, I am not sure. Look, I am confused.” “Does anyone else know about this?” Alex asked drawing a little bit closer to her. “Just you. I don’t want anyone else to find out, especially my parents; my father would be so pissed if he found out about this.” Tiara said, then she took in enough air and exhaled sha

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT “What! What are you saying, Tiara?” Alex exclaimed with both of his eyes bulging as though they were going to fall out of their sockets. He immediately leaned forward and observed Tiara thoroughly to be sure she wasn’t joking. “Yes! That would be an amazing idea.” Tiara continued excitedly, she seemed to have figured everything out within a few seconds. “No Tiara. No! Must you be joking right? This is some silly joke.” Alex said but the lady sitting right next to him wasn’t budging but seemed to be really serious with her crazy idea. “Listen to me, Alex. You really have to help me out here.” Tiara said, then she proceeded to take both of Alex’s hands but he pulled them backwards immediately. “This is insane Tiara, absolutely insane.” “But it seems like the only thing that is going to get me out of this situation.” “How Tiara? How is getting married to me, me? How is that going to get you out of this situation?” Alex asked with a high pitch trying to understa
