"Grandma! You wouldn't be serious about letting Sandra leave the administration, right? Donald Douglas's voice is laced with fear as he paces up and down Lady Karen Douglas's office.
The office was a beauty in the making, the backdrop behind Lady Karen Douglas displaying the numerous business grand awards she had won, an impressive tableau that seemed to stretch out for miles.
"Relax, Donald… I know what I'm doing… how did you think I was able to get Janet to ditch Alex Waynee even though your grandfather had betrothed her to Alex Waynee before his mysterious death." Her voice was hoarse as she continued to sign the files on her desk without sparing Donald Douglas a glance.
"Grandma, as I am talking to you she is done packing her stuff and she has already left the complex…Grandma! do something…you realize Sandra Douglas plays a crucial role in this company…removing her now that we have more competitors out there in the market…wouldn't be in our favour." His voice was reeking with trepidation as he paced around feeling very uneasy.
"Don't worry about her Donald, She will come around." Her voice was laced with relief, as she continued with her work.
Moments later… at Moonstone Suites.
Alex Waynee is patting Sandra Douglas on the back, she is weeping as she straws up her cold yoghurt.
"Alex Waynee, do you love me?... Because I have been through a lot of hurt…just to keep this relationship going." Her eyes welling with tears as she rests her head on Alex Waynee's shoulder.
"Sandra… I really love you and appreciate you for your kindness…you have really been my support since the first day I stepped into the Douglas family…and I promise, your grandmother will surely regret ever sacking you." His voice was surprisingly laced with authority.
Sandra tilts her head in bewilderment, as she wonders what was with the sudden change in his face and voice.
"What do you mean…She will regret…We really can't do anything about it…can we?" Her voice tremulous as she falls back placing her head back on his shoulder.
"I mean anything can happen…we live in a world of all possibilities… don't you believe you can suddenly become the CEO of a great company like Elvis global empire?" He says, his eyebrows pulled up as he gazed into Sandra Douglas' eyes.
Hahaha!!!
Sandra Douglas laughs out loud, her laughter draws the attention of everyone around them.
"Isn't this Sandra Douglas, the daughter of late Lord Jerry Douglas…She was just sacked by her grandmother, for refusing to marry the rich and prominent Edward Hinnberg."
The voices of the two ladies talking could be heard by almost everyone in the restaurant. They were staring at their phones. Immediately Sandra Douglas swiped her phone and went to the official site of the Douglas global empire and she saw it.
Her name had been listed as part of those who were sacked for low performance.
With a bad report like this sweeping around on the internet, her chances of getting a job in whistling meadows were now slashed from one to zero.
"This is really bad, what am I going to tell my parents…this isn't good." Her voice was tremulous as she swiped her phone, beads of sweat built up on her face and her heart throbbing faster than usual, Alex Waynee could hear her heartbeat a thousand times in a minute.
To Sandra Douglas' bewilderment, she looks up to see the face of Alex Waynee wearing a smirk, an unusual smile that should never be there, especially at this moment when she, his fiancée was panicking.
Picking up his phone, Alex Waynee tests Eric Raymond and demands he calls the Vice President of Elvis Global Empire, Mr Mark, and tells him that he will be resuming work the next day.
Moments later….
Alex Waynee and Sandra Douglas are approaching their house.
"If you got an appointment to be the New CEO of Elvis global empire would you accept it or decline it?" He asks, smiling gleefully.
"Stop imagining things, you have been acting weird these days… have you been taking too much vodka?" She asks as she touches his beardless face.
Her hand caressing his skin as she shoves her hands into his shirt, feeling the hairs on his chest. Since they had been together they had never slept together, they decided never to do so until after their marriage.
"Stop it…we are on the road…and remember we promised never to do it until we are officially married." Alex Waynee says subtly as he pulls her hand off his shirt.
Just then the door of their sitting room opens revealing an angry Mr Robert and Mary, they had been on the news watching Lady Karen Douglas brag about sacking her granddaughter from the family company.
"So your plans have finally worked out… you have succeeded in ruining the promising life and future of my daughter." Mr Robert's voice is vehement and laced with pure venom, as he rushes out the glass door to slap Alex Waynee, Sandra Douglas steps in, blocking her dad's hand from hitting her fiance.
With more venom in her eyes, Mrs Mary gazed at the man she believed had ruined her entire life, if it wasn't for Alex Waynee, she and her family would have been on Lady Karen Douglas' good side.
"You fool! Why wouldn't you just let my daughter be…you have succeeded in ruining her life, and her career and next you might want to take her life…you idiot…why wouldn't you just crawl back to the orphanage…Lord Jerry Douglas is dead…no one wants you…leave my daughter alone." Her voice is extremely harsh and annoying.
She moved a step further to grab her daughter, but before her hands could grab the hem of her gown, Sandra Douglas fell backwards into the hands of Alex Waynee, who took her out of the house area.
"Where are we going?" She asks as she gazes at her watch…. The time was 9.00 pm in the night.
The sound of their feet was all they could hear, the full moon was casting a silvery glow on the quiet path, a sense of enchantment was in the air as Alex Waynee opened the door of the garden park.
"Welcome to a place where I go to find peace, whenever the world is after me."
He says, smiling gleefully, exposing his perfect dentition.
As he spoke, his phone rang and it was a text from Eric Raymond.
'Come to the east part of the garden park. Master Alex'
Staring at his phone, he tells Sandra Douglas to wait at the Well.
Moments later…
"Young master! It's not safe here… I have a lead that the killers of your parents are now aware of your existence and may strike anytime soon… you really need to reconsider staying here, in whistling meadows… young master you should come with me at once." Eric Raymond's voice is tremulous, beads of sweat build up on his face and slowly hit the grassy floor.
"Mr Eric Raymond! I can take care of myself… just make sure Mr Mark is aware of my visitation to Elvis' global empire…that would be all." His voice was Ortund and laced with authority.
"Okay, sir…could you consider taking this gun and Garry as your guard?" His voice is vehement and echoes through the garden.
Without sparing him another glance, his feet stomping the grassy floor, he shakes his head in disapproval of what his personal butler just said.
"Take them home… I don't need them" His voice a whisper as he walked away from Mr. Eric Raymond.
On reaching the garden, he met Sandra Douglas who was looking worried as she stared at a white envelope, her face laced with trepidation, and her body was quaky.
"Here… that man you were staring at the other day at Havila Suites… came in here… he…sa..id…I should give you this." Her voice was quaky as she managed to stutter those words.
Opening the Letter, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The letter was written in a handwriting he could recall, the letter read…
'I know who killed your father, mother and the heirs of the Wayne family, find me if you really want to know the truth.'
"What the hell!"

Finally....
Moments later, Lord Douglas is seated in the church as everyone gathered around him to hear his story. The situation was intense and palpable as Lord Douglas began his story. "All I wanted was for my beautiful granddaughter Janet to marry Alex Waynee in a bid to preserve the Wayne's lineage, but as it may seem, she immediately ditched him after my fake death." Lord Douglas said as he stared at Janet and Tyler who bowed their heads in disappointment. "Many years ago, the seven great families in whistling meadows, the Wayne's, the Lex's, the Osborne's, the Well's, the Douglas's, the Louis's and the Hinnbergs formed a business pact." "Things were going on very well until the rest of the family Lords noticed that Lord Wayne and his family were dominating the entire business space." "So they plotted their total annihilation." His voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and regret. "Luckily I was at the meeting but before my warning could reach my friend Lord Wayne, it was alr
I bet you didn't see this coming.
Three weeks later, Sandra Douglas is stepping out of the car, her father, Mr Robert is helping her out of the car as her bridesmaid holds her wedding gown train.The cathedral was filled up as Sandra Douglas starred into the high ceiling above her head, tears wells down her eyes slowly."So I'm really doing this…so Alex Waynee is actually gone forever."She muttered to herself as she walked towards the aisle slowly with her father holding her by the hand.She had taken her grandmother's advice to marry Edward Hinnberg after all these years.The cathedral was filled with a soft, melodic hymn, echoing through the grandeur of the sacred space.The intricate stained glass windows filtered the sunlight, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the floor as Sandra made her way to the altar."Sandra c'mon put up a little smile please."Mr Robert said to Sandra as they walked slowly to meet the priest and Edward Hinnberg at the altar.Edward Hinnberg stood at the altar with a smile that couldn't h
Blown away... What!!!
It's one year already since Alex Waynee left to see the dude at Farmer's ville.In Sandra's room, she is staring at a newspaper that read…'Lost in the woods.'Tears wells down her eyes profusely as she stared at the newspaper.Her face etched with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.All efforts to console her by Mr Robert and Mrs Mary were all efforts in futility."Sandra, are you going to keep mourning and weeping over him all the rest of your life.""It's been a year already and you haven't even gone to the office for once.""What if the real CEO of Elvis Global Empire finds out and sacks you immediately.""Alex Waynee is gone and there is nothing you can ever do to bring him back."Mrs Mary's voice was barely above whispers as she stared at her daughter who laid on the bed weeping profusely.Her hair was all messed up in tears."Mom, he isn't gone.""He left this note and disappeared…I'm very sure this might be a prank or something."Sandra Douglas said, her voice was barely abov
I'm sorry...
"To meet…he didn't say who.""He said that's the condition or else he would proceed with the main plan which is to reveal my true identity to the whole world."Alex Waynee said as he plopped himself into the sofa by his side.Eric Raymond, Evans Raymond, Nicole and John Paul all stared at him in incredulity, the weight of the situation settling heavily in the room."We can't let him expose you like that."Eric Raymond's voice held a sense of urgency as he paced back and forth, his mind racing with possible solutions."Is there any way we can track this masked figure down? Find out who he is?"Nicole asked, her fingers dancing across the keyboard as she tried to trace the origin of the recent call.Alex Waynee sighed, running a hand through his hair, the whole event had covered him up in frustration and bewilderment."He's been elusive so far, covering his tracks well. But we need to find a way, and fast."His voice was barely above whispers.John Paul spoke up, "What about the tasks h
Oh no!
The weight of the dude's question hung in the air like a heavy storm cloud, casting a dark and ominous shadow over Alex Waynee's already tumultuous night."Are you seriously going to broadcast my true identity to the whole world?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety.The threat of his true identity being exposed to the public added a layer of urgency to an already complex situation."I never wanted to, but you brought this upon yourself."The voice was cold and detached.Alex Waynee stares askance at the ceiling above him, with a clenched jaw, Alex Waynee paced back and forth on the balcony.The cool night air doing little to soothe the fire of anxiety burning within him.The city below seemed to echo his internal chaos, with distant sirens adding a discordant note to the symphony of the night."I gave you vivid instructions and you choose to play games with me.""You are yet to realize what you are truly up against."His
Who is this?
It's Saturday night, the night after the incident, Alex Waynee is awake and lying beside Sandra Douglas who is already fast asleep.Sleep has evaded Alex Waynee as if it had fled from the weight of the recent events.Alex Waynee's mind was a tsunami of thoughts.The echoes of the masked figure's words reverberating through the corridors of his consciousness.The revelation that he played a role, unwitting or not, in the creation of this weird adversary clawed at the edges of his sanity."This is just unbelievable..."He muttered to himself as he quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Sandra's slumber.The night air was cool as he made his way to the balcony, the cityscape below shimmering with the distant lights of life carrying on, unaware of the turmoil within.Leaning against the railing, Alex Waynee stared into the horizon, searching for answers amidst the shadows of uncertainty. The events of the past days played in his mind like a well edited video, each scene an in
