CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE That was definitely a test of masculinity and self-control for Alex as he watched himself struggle with rejecting the temptress’s seductive offer. “Had Rita, the right word to say is had,” Alex said as soon as he got a grip of himself, then he gently dragged Rita’s hands from his neck and pushed her aside. “Wheew! That was really close.” Alex sighed heavily as he realized that he had just avoided a huge temptation. He could say that he just passed a test. “What do you mean by had?” Rita said looking at Alex and was filled with the persistent eagerness to finish up what she started. “Like you rightly said, Rita. I had always wanted you to give me your attention back in college. That was over seven years ago. That was in the past and not now.” Alex said still trying to avoid looking at the glaring cleavages that bounced up and down whenever Rita made even the slightest movement. “What are you saying, Alex? That you don’t want all these?” Rita questioned as she p

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE Just a few steps to get to the entrance of the building, the door swung open almost immediately, and a middle-aged man in white grey pants and a black jacket appeared with his hands extended and an excited smile on his face. “Welcome Supreme Conqueror. It’s so good to have you back. I am glad that you have finally decided to join us after three years.” The man said, then he bowed profoundly to Alex. The bodyguards too were not left out as they bowed even deeper than the middle-aged man. “Thank you, Gideon. It feels good to be back. You may rise now.” Alex said to the man with a smile on his face. “Thank you Supreme Conqueror .” The man said as he raised his head and stood erect but the bodyguards kept their heads bent while still holding on to their guns. “How have things been around here? I hope there have not been any lapses?” Alex asked looking into the building as his smile remained on his lips. “Not at all Supreme Conqueror. Everything has been in order

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX Fee seconds after, Chloe pressed a button under the table and the roof of the room gradually slid open and a a steel ladder gradually came down till it stopped when the end had touched the floor of the room. Alex wasted no time, he claimed the ladder and went out of the room through the roof. As he got to the top of the building, he saw a white helicopter waiting on the hanger. The pilot was already inside and the rotor blade spinning at a very high speed and making a whirring sound. Alex got into the helicopter while he waited for Chloe who was taking her time climbing up through the ladder. The pilot greeted Alex with a bow and he responded by waving at him. In a few seconds time, Chloe walked into the helicopter and seeing that she was in, the pilot pulled the thrust lever and the helicopter went up to the sky and then towards their destination. It took them about ten minutes before they landed on the hanger on another building almost in the middle of the

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN “Hello Tiara.” Alex said hurriedly as soon as Tiara spoke to him from the other end of the line. From the countenance on his face, Chloe could tell that the call was really important to him, so she decided to wait till he was done before she could say what she had in mind. Her major concern was from the way Alex ’s face brightened up with a smile the moment Tiara picked her call. “I didn’t get to thank you for yesterday; you really came through for me. I am grateful.” Alex said, then he listed to what Tiara said from the other end resuming his smile. “All the same Tiara, I am grateful.” Alex said again with another smile that made Chloe more curious. “Who could be this that is making him smile so hard?” Chloe thought to herself as she constantly changed her view from Becky and then to Alex especially whenever he giggles with the smile plastered on his face. “Oh really?” Alex said again as he gently lifted his left hand and scratched the back of his head

CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE No matter how long the ride was going to take, Alex seemed really determined to finish up what he already started. “You know that you really don’t have to come with me Chloe.” Alex said as he turned towards Chloe who furrowed her brows following Alex’s words. “I mean, you could stay back and finish up with whatever you are doing. I can’t believe I am dragging you into my mess.” “Are you for real Alex? What’s the fun in that? I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she realizes what a fool she has been.” Chloe said with an excited smile on her face. Alex in turned to look at her again taking his eyes off the road for a few seconds, then he smiled and turned towards the road again as he increased the speed of the car. In about an hour, they arrived at a beautiful manor with two cars parked outside the main building. As the blue Jaguar car rode towards the Manor, the gates opened but not for them. A white Mercedes car was coming out too and seeing the car,
