CHAPTER EIGHTY “That was so intense, I loved it!” Chloe exclaimed almost immediately they hit the man road, the excitement in her system radiating through her gestures and facial expressions. “Did you see their faces? That look was to die for. You really did a handful there Alex.” She said again that she wasn't ready to let go of her excitement. She clapped her hands in an applauding style. “Damn Alex! That was Stella.” “Alright, alright Chloe! I get your point. Could you let me concentrate on the road now?” Alex cut her short the instant he got tired of her talking. “But I was just showering my praises at you for being so calm but impenetrable, the perfect example of a god in human form.” “Well, I am no god.” Alex retorted with a smirk still keeping his eyes on the road. “Well it doesn’t matter, I loved what you did out there. I am sure they will learn their lessons by now.” “Right,” Alex said briefly without bothering to turn and look at Chloe. He held on to the steering whe

CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE “Why would you even get a phone in such a place? You could have just ordered one or gone to a bigger store if you wanted to see for yourself. What if it’s fake?” “Its not a fake phone Chloe, I checked myself.” Alex retorted as he gently turned to Chloe with an assuring smile. Chloe scoffed, then she looked at the phone and then at the store without blinking. “This strange man.” She thought to herself stealing a glance at Alex. “Ok fine. If you must know, the shop owner is a friend. I just wanted to show my appreciation for a kind gesture.” “Oh, that’s fair enough,” Chloe said nodding her head in agreement with her words. “Can we go now, Chloe? I have somewhere to be.” “Wait. Was it a girl? I mean your friend over there.” “What does it matter?” “Well, it does Alex. I care about you a lot and I wouldn’t want you to run into the hands of any woman who would treat you as badly as Maya did or even worse.” “Ok mummy, I appreciate,” Alex said with a smirk. “I am

CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO “What? What did you say?” “Did I stutter?” Chloe said as she struggled to deal with the uncertainty that crept into her mind immediately after she let out the outburst. “Shit! Did I just say that?” She whispered to herself. Alex’s eyes widened in disbelief, he couldn’t believe the words that he heard. Taking a look at Chloe, he attempted to know if she was joking but the young lady sitting next to her didn’t seem like she had that type of time to play around. “Chloe I..I…I don’t know what to say.” Alex stuttered, then he sighed and wiped his face with his right hand as though he was trying to get rid of the shock he felt inside of him. “Why didn’t you tell me, Chloe?” “So that you could turn me down?” “You never can tell Chloe, you should have said something.” “Well, I guess I wasn’t sure of what to say.” Chloe retorted, then she sniffled and sighed almost at once.There was another round of silence in the car as the two of them looked at each other for a fe

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE “What? What does that even mean?” Alex asked, but before he could finish up his sentence, Chloe opened the door of the car and alighted immediately slamming the door behind her. “Chloe, Chloe? Where are you going?” Alex asked but Chloe was already out of the car and walking through the driveway towards the main road. “What the hell is this?” Alex asked as he unbuckled the seatbelt around him and opened the door of the car, storming out immediately. “Come on Chloe, don’t be like that. We can talk about it.” He called out to Chloe but she refused to even turn to look at him as she continued to stride through the driveway. Seeing the strong determination in her to get away from him, Alex got back into the car and drove towards her as soon as he turned on the ignition. He honked severally for Chloe to stop walking but she paid no attention to the blaring sound of the horn. Left with no other option, Alex had to drive faster as he tried as much as he could to avo

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR Tiara was startled for a few seconds as she wondered who it was that knew her. As much as the voice sounded really familiar, she found it a little bit difficult to recognize the stunning young man in front of her. Alex dragged one of the wooden seats backwards and sat on it putting his right leg in top of his left while he maintained the smile on his face. Suddenly, Tiara gasped in shock as soon as she recognized him, she leaned forward towards him and widened her eyes. “Alex! Is this you?” “In the flesh love.” Alex replied with a smile on his face, but Tiara was still in doubt as she observed him closely for a few seconds. “How? How are you?…..” “Changed?” Alex stole the words from her as she didn’t know what to say exactly. “Yes? You look entirely different. In a good way, in a pleasant way.” She continued while her eyes were still glued at the dashing young man in front of her. For a few more seconds, she continued glancing at Alex admiring everything a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE “Yes Tiara, we are officially divorced.” “Great! That’s wonderful news.” Tiara said with a smile gradually appearing on her face. She seemed really excited hearing that Alex was finally free, but on a second thought, she got a hint of something and turned a straight face. “How do you feel Alex?” She asked Alex as the feeling that she may have been insensitive with her excitement crept into her mind. Alex looked at her with a little gloom on his face which he managed to change to a smile few seconds later. “Let’s just say that it was good while it lasted.” “Are you sure you don’t wanna talk about it?” “It’s fine Tiara. I am totally fine I promise.” Tiara took a long look at Alex to be sure he was ok and even though she saw a confident and happy man seated in front of her, she still knew that a lot must have been going through his mind. “Whatever it is Alex, just know you can talk to me ok?” Alex nodded twice to the words Tiara said, then he mouthed the wo

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX Almost immediately after Alex’s last words, the waitress came back with another bottle of wine which she kept on the table and hurriedly left at once. “Care for a glass of wine?” Tiara silently accepted the offer with a slight nod still holding on to her straight face as she waited for some explanation for Alex. Ideally, she felt she needed to gulp down some alcohol to be able to digest whatever he was going to say in addition to what she had already witnessed. Alex uncorked the the bottle of red Spanish wine which was the exact replica of the first one, then he carefully grabbed it from the base and filled the two glass cups halfway while he maintained a slight smile on his bright face. As soon as he kept the bottle back on the table, he took one of the wine glasses and handed it over to Tiara. “Here you go.” He said as he extended his right hand towards her. Tiara looked at him for a few seconds, then she reluctantly accepted to the wine glass from him and

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN Alex cleared his throat twice, then he took the wine glass from the table and gulped down the entire content immediately. “Easy Alex, that’s enough.” Tiara said as soon as she saw Alex pouring the wine into his mouth. But before she could finish up her words, Alex was done with the wine and placed the wine glass on the table. “Give me that. Let me have that, I think you have had enough.” Tiara said with an imperative tone as she leaned forward and took the bottle of wine which Alex was about to take so that he could pour more wine into his glass. Alex sighed gently seeing the disapproval on Tiara’s face especially regarding his drinking, so he sighed and leaned backwards. Suddenly, his mind came to the realization of the nice aroma which had been hitting is nose for more than ten minutes. “The food is getting cold Tiara, we should eat now.” Tiara looked at the food with some doubt in her eyes. As much as the food smelled really tasty, she didn’t want to rui

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT There was a few seconds of silence between them, their eyes met with each other and stared for quite a while without blinking. Tiara was relentless, she was determined to get an answer right away from Alex as she curiously stared right into his eyes without any desires to blink or look off. “I am listening.” She said with a soft but firm tone. Alex sighed, then he leaned forward towards her and exhaled sharply while Tiara waited patiently for him to speak. “I used to work here as a chef, but I own it.” “What? How?” Tiara’s voice lashed out tones of curiosity and shock at Alex, then she observed the place closely, that was when she got the hint. “Blackwell Diner.” She thought to herself as she joined the dots together. Her eyes widened with the sudden realization. “Yes Tiara, this place has been in my family for decades and I decided to maintain it even though it appears so old fashioned.” “You own this place?” “Yes Tiara, I own it.” “And you chose to wor

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE “Can they really do that.” Alex asked almost immediately with her eyebrows raised in deep curiosity. “My father can be desperate when he wants to be, and Francis…Francis would definitely be able to make that happen. He has a lot of connections all over the world.” “I see.” Alex said with a little smirk but Tiara was a little bit offended that he was reacting trivially to the matter at hand. “I am serious Alex.” “I know Tiara, I know.” “Then why are you acting as though you don’t understand the level of seriousness that this issue carries?” “Are you trying to make fun of me Alex?” “Oh please, how can you even say that Tiara?” Tiara was silent after Alex spoke. She didn’t know what she was going to believe as the reaction she got from him was unexpected. He seemed unperturbed. “Come on Tiara, let’s get out of here.” Taking a look at Alex for a few seconds, then she sighed and turned her gaze to the black purse resting on the table. “What are you doing?”
