He just couldn't believe what was right in front of him. He saw the image of Kimberly walking behind him with his suit around her and the way she held it tight would make anyone's think something was wrong with the shirt she wore and his shirt looked quite rough.
He couldn't blame the press for believing it. He knew it was one of those workers they saw early that morning.
"Call me all the workers who were present in the cellar this morning." He said and the secretary bowed and left the office.
He loosened his tie. The post was just twenty minutes ago and it had blown all over the internet.
Two minutes later, the girls all came in scared.
"Which of you did this?" He asked and they all shook exchanging looks with each other. "I wouldn't bother checking your phones as that seems dumb to me, come out on your own now." He said but the girls didn't say a word.
"Please it wasn't one of us." One of the girls said and Alexander got angry
Ivy couldn't believe she was seeing correctly.Was she really seeing Alexander? She broke off the eye contact and he came to sit next to her. She looked at Liam who was suddenly talking loudly and excitedly. Ivy didn't know what to say to him or what to ask him. Why was he here as Liam's Dad."Um Mr..." She said turning to him but he held up a hand."Don't bother asking questions. " He said and she moistened her lips and faced Liam."But I do have a right to ask." She said but he didn't even bother looking at her."I just thought it'd be right to let you know you wouldn't be getting a reply from me." He said and Ivy looked at him but decided not to stress it. Liam probably had something to do with it. Liam was so happy when she and Alexander went out to take pictures with him and congratulate him on his pictures but Ivy felt scared as almost everyone complimented Liam saying he looked like his father and was handsome.After the pictures, Liam dragged Alexander out."Liam!" Ivy whisp
Alexander was shocked to hear her say that. He had thought she'd be glad to go with him, especially that he had represented her boy's dad at the presentation that took place probably an hour ago."No?" He asked and she looked away with a stubborn look on her face. "I came for your boy." He said but she still refused to look at him."I'm very grateful." She said and he put his hands in his pockets and leaned against his car."That's not how you show it." He said staring intently at her."Despite my gratitude, I'd like to let you know that I never asked nor expected you to come. It was all Liam's doing so he should be the one owing you a favor but even with that, he can't possibly go to Paris." Ivy said as she took a step back."That's very funny." Alexander replied although he wasn't smiling."If that's all sir, then I'd have to resume my work." Ivy said and made to leave but he grabbed her hand which made her shocked. He left her arm and brought out his wallet."I'll pay you." He said
Alexander's eyes opened wide as the sleep fell from them. He couldn't believe his eyes."Where are you?" He asked and as soon as the man gave him the room number, he jumped out of bed and quickly pulled a sweatshirt over his head before leaving the room."What happened to her?" He asked the moment he got there but didn't even need a reply. The woman was still there with two cleaners and the manager watching her.There were deep knife slashes on her body as though the person who did it was trying to design her body with it but there was no blood on her tummy or chest, her face too wasn't left out, and Alexander knew if she was alive, it would leave a scar.He knelt, trying not to get the blood on him, he shook her toe, no response."Call the police." He said and the manager went to the telephone instantly.The police came minutes after and surveyed the body, wore their gloves and instructed everyone to move back."She's still bre
Alexander covered his face with a hand. He believed he had given strict orders for the information to remain with the police. But it couldn't have been the police. It would have been the staff and he made up his mind to sack everyone of them that had seen the maimed women. It served them right.Trust was a key thing in an organization.His telephone rang and he picked it."Alexander Grayson speaking.""This is Mr Francois Martin. We need to see you urgently. "~Alexander felt like his world was slowly crumbling as the business men and women broke their harsh news to him."This is something we'll take care of very soon. The criminal just picked my hospital for a random reason. I'm going to take care of the security men manning the cameras very soon, you don't have to withdraw the contract." Alexander said hoping his words could mean something."Mr Grayson, we never said we are withdrawing the contract. It's pending. We will think and discuss on it and whether it would be withdrawn or
"It's nothing. Just..." Ivy stuttered from the shock that Alexander could have heard her if he hadn't walked in when he did."And what's your concern if I'm having a chat with her?" Davies asked. "Are you perhaps the father of her fatherless baby?" He asked and Ivy's heart dropped."Watch it man." Alexander said coldly and Davies smirked."Who are you? Thought she was your assistant. Or maybe she means something else. Maybe you sleep with her every night?" Davies asked in a provoking manner."Stop it! He's my boss." Ivy said to Davies."Get out of here. I think I get It. If you're looking for someone to hit on, not her. Get lost you piece of trash." Alexander said but Davies laughed."Who's the trash? Me or you? She has a freaking baby and who knows, maybe you're probably the dad." Davies shot at Alexander."Why would I be the dad? Do I look like I sleep with my employees?"Alexander shot at him and Ivy felt a bit hurt because he was actually the dad and she knew he might probably be d
Ivy stopped in shock but was still shrouded in disbelief.How could he be the one when the Michele was already detained by the police and being questioned? How could he be the one when they culprit was known to be a lady?He was just an ordinary waiter. "Nice try. I almost believed you but your joke is getting silly. Excuse me." She said but then he pointed a gun to her head and ivy stopped and put her hand to her mouth. "I always hate to do this but people like you push me to it. Just stay, just listen, can't you just believe my word for it? I hate it when I speak and I'm assumed to be a liar. How's it so hard to believe I maimed those three women? Tell me! Why can't you believe me?" He asked and Ivy shook her head in fear but it only made him mad."What exactly makes me seem like a liar!?" He asked and she said in her tiniest voice."We saw a woman in the surveillance cameras." She said and prepared for the strong impact of the camera only to hear him laugh."Oh, that was me. Yeah
Her words got stuck in her throat and she looked into Alexander's eyes. "What's wrong?" He asked and she gave a shaky sigh. "It's .. it's just, I'm scared. I want to go back home. I could be next and no one would know..." She started to say but he surprisingly put a hand on hers. "You don't have to be scared. It'll all be over soon. You just have to stay right by my side. You're doing a great job." He said and Ivy nodded although it didn't help her feel reassured. Just then, Alexander received a call from the police and picked it. "We had to release Michele." He said and Alexander sat up straight. "You had to release her?" Alexander asked. "We can't detain a suspect without proper evidence." He said and Alexander sighed. "So we're starting again Right. All over." He said and the man also sighed from the other end of the phone. "Don't worry Mr Grayson, we'll do our best to find this lady." He said trying to reassure Alexander. "Alright." Alexander replied and cut the call. "
"I'm so sorry but I'll meet you in the lobby very soon." She said even as her heart pounded against the walls of her chest. "You're going to ask why I'm sacrificing myself for this person. I don't know why myself, probably because I just like him and I can't bear to see him down. Taking all his money might not make him poor but he'll be devastated and he's my helper. I can't do this to him to save my own skin. I'll meet you in the lobby right now, WITHOUT the cards. Let's put an end to this." She said and stood from Alexander's side and turned off all the lights completely. She went to a little table where she and Alexander had eaten roasted turkey and took the knife. She looked at it and decided it was pretty harmless, then she walked to the next table where there was a tray of fruits placed on it and took the knife there. It was pretty sharp and she knew Davies wouldn't see since she had already turned off all the lights. She hid the knife in the waist band of her joggers and left
