The Adopted Heir Chapter 134
“Please explain what you mean,” Jayden said, still looking a bit taken off guard by her response.“I knew that I was pregnant. Well… I didn't know for a fact because I didn’t do any tests in the hospital but I did a urine test with a pregnancy test kit and it came out positive. I didn't know how to tell my boyfriend because I didn't know how he would take it. I also knew that I would lose the child when I started bleeding out.” She was a bit sceptical about telling him because they had only been intimate just once and that was on the night after his birthday. They had already been aroused even before they went to the party venue, it was only natural that they completed what they started earlier.“I can't believe that you are saying this. Why would you keep something like that away from me? Have I ever given you any reasons to doubt my love for you? It takes two to tangle, have you forgotten?” Alex asked a series of questions. He was bothered that Sophia would think that he would by an

Alex just got back after running all the errands issued to him by his wife. He was exhausted from all the day's work. He entered into the mansion owned by his wife's family where he also lives. The house of Kingston occupied about 20,000 square meters and it was the most luxurious villa in all of Manhattan. It had everything ranging from a garden, a swimming pool, a golf course, and a spa.The Kingston family was one of the mighty five, the top five most reputable families in Manhattan! Their financial power and influence were unrivaled in Manhattan.On his way to his room, he heard clanking of cups and chatters coming from the sitting room. He decided to say hello to his wife and let her know that he was back."Hello babe," Alex said immediately after he entered the room."Good evening all" He added after noticing the guests in the room."Who is your babe, you nitwit?" Cassandra sneered.Cassandra is the supposed wife of Alexander who turned him into a slave just because his family o

Alex stormed into the garden. The garden was directly opposite the villa gate. Anybody that was visiting the villa would first of all set eyes on Kingston's large and luxurious garden. The garden was diligently maintained, no weeds could be found, and it was trimmed to perfection.Alex sat on one of the foyers trying to calm his rapidly beating heart. He was pissed beyond imagination. This inhumane behavior being meted out on him was weighing him down beyond measure.He was still deep in thought when the villa gate automatically opened for Marcus to enter. Alex looked closely to find police vehicles behind Marcus' Bentley."Who gave you the right to lay your wretched hands on my daughter" As if on cue Cassandra ran out of the house still shedding crocodile tears. She quickly ran into her father's arms. He began patting her back and was whispering promises into her ear.Alex was still trying to figure out what was up when Marcus signaled the police officers to bundle him into the vehic

"Look who we have here, like what you see?" Cassandra mused."It took you so long to get here, what kept you?" Victor asked.Alex was still dumbstruck. He was still finding it difficult to understand the scene in front of him. How could he have missed the hints? He had been fooled all these years. He thought Victor was his friend. He confided in this dude and he pretended all these while to be on his side not knowing that he had been sleeping with his supposed wife.Alex felt the wetness on his face, he hadn't realized that he'd been crying. He wasn't even hurt that his wife was cheating, he was hurt by who she was cheating on him with "How long has this been going on?" He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.As if on cue, Clare walks into the room with some documents, "I see you've gotten your present. I don't know what gave you the idea that you could be with someone as influential as Cassandra for a long time.""You should be happy that she even stooped so low to be with you for

Alex pinched himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Alex had already told Chris his pathetic story. How his ex-family in-laws turned him into an errand boy. This was too much for him to take in. Just a few hours ago he was the servant son-in-law to the Kingston family. And now, he is the heir to a multi-trillionaire. This better not be a dream, he thought."I want you to contact my Butler. His name is Darius Rucker, he will settle the hospital expenses and take us home""Um okay," Chris gave Alex his Butler's contact, and after a few minutes, a man in a three-piece expensive suit who looked to be in his early fifties rushed into the ICU panting."Sir Chris… Oh my God, I've been so worried sick about you. I called you several times but it always went straight to voicemail. What happened…""Calm down Darius. Take a deep breath, I'm fine as you can see. It's just a few bruises here and there"That was when Darius' breathing began gradually coming down to normal. "Thank God that yo

Alex was surprised to see that the card didn't work. He was very sure that Darius wouldn't play him for a fool. The whole mall began whispering."He's so shameless, who comes to a luxury mall to shop empty-handed""Gosh! He's a pauper, he better be sent out before he makes away with anything""Poor church rat, how could he come here to disrupt the serenity of this environment"People kept spitting out harsh words on Alex. Alex was stunned into silence."Alex this is low even for you. Did you think that you could easily blend into this world? This world is not for people like you" Cassandra continued making fun of Alex. She was enjoying everything going on now.Just then a man dressed up in an expensive well-tailored three-piece suit showed up. "May I know what this whole commotion is about?"This was James Johnson the manager of B & B. He was in his mid-thirties. James rarely came out for irrelevant commotions that occur once in a while in the store, but today seemed to be different.
The Adopted Heir Chapter 6
Christopher introduced Alex to his Associates as the new boss. They all welcomed him with open arms. One after the other they put him through on what had been going on in their companies. Alex was sort of surprised as to why Marcus or Cassandra didn't show up. "I will look into that later," he said to himself. They were back home now and Alex and Chris were just chilling. They were sitting at the Foyer behind the swimming pool taking in the evening breeze."Son, how was your first day at work?" Chris inquired."It went well, the different Associates welcomed me with open arms even though I know that some of them were not happy with the new development. Maybe they wanted you to make one of them the Boss on top.""Hmph, do not pay heed to any of their annoying attitudes. You are now their new Boss and they're all answerable to you. Don't allow any of them to intimidate or bully you." Chris advised."Sure Dad, I'll always keep that in mind." Alex wasn't going to allow anyone to look dow

The event kicked off. Cassandra and her friends were already inside the building. You could hear chatter and clanking of cups around the room.After the scenario outside, the trio conspired to make Alex's life a living hell. Little did they know what was about to befall them.Christopher and Marcus stepped into the building. Cassandra sighted them."I know for a fact that my company will get this partnership today. I mean look at how cozy my dad and Chris are." Cassandra boasted."Of course, didn't I tell you that the position is unrivaled," Clare supported.Just then, Christopher Columbus walked up to the stage. His presence demanded everyone's attention."Hello gentlemen and ladies, I would like to officially welcome you on this occasion. This would be my last occasion as the head of this empire," Chris paused to make sure that he was communicating effectively before continuing. "You all already know that I have an heir who has already taken over, he would be in charge of today's se
