‘Are you really going to give up on everything?'.Catherine asked as she barged into the office and Landon rolled his eyes when she slammed her hands on his table.
‘Good morning little sister'.
‘Ohh get off your high horse and let's—'.
‘Why is my personal life such a bother to everyone? Alice has made I pretty clear she wants nothing to do with me and now that I finally move on it's a problem,why should it be a problem?'.He asked and her lips parted to speak but she pressed them shut.
He was actually right in an uncanny way.
Berating him for finally moving on was not only hypocritical but cruel at the same time when she knew he deserved a break from all the drama.
He tried his best to bring the family back together and there was nothing he could do anymore when Alice has clearly moved on.

He lied.He blatantly lied about having a girlfriend.He blatantly lied about having a girlfriend to Alice just so he wouldn't seem vulnerable and jealous of the fact that she was easily able to move on and he wasn't.‘I don't know what I'm doing but I'm sure going to take care of you Willow'.He whispered as he placed his daughter in the baby car seat he installed hours before coming.Alice on the other hand,watched on in full panic mode as he drove away and she began pacing back and forth much to Luther's annoyance.Hearing about Landon having a girlfriend and Alice's shocked reaction to it like it really mattered was enough to make his blood boil and he didn't like it.There was a kind of tension between them that ex-couples normally shouldn't have,that made him uncomfortable and paved way for the fear of his girlfriend going back to her
It was a foggy morning when Landon woke up only to find Lucas snoring next to him with Willow also sleeping on his chest.He smugly smirked as he remembered how much fun he had last night,it was the most fun he's had and the most time he's spent with his brother in a long time.Sometimes working so much makes one neglect one of the most important things in life—family,and having a sleepover with Lucas was just proof of that.They played videogames,exchanged tequila shots,watched horror movies but had to stop all because Willow woke up and he didn't want to freak her out.They even made a drunk call to Catherine who instantly panic knowing they had a baby with them.‘What time is it?'.Lucas yawned loudly as he woke up and looked down at Willow who was still sleeping soundly.‘It's Sunday I think....don't wake her up'.Landon replied as h
Alice's mind drifted back to Landon talking about his girlfriend with a vague expression on his face,it made her heart thump so hard that it could be heard from afar.Willow suddenly started crying all of a sudden and she ignored her for a while,but when it became worse,she had to park at stop her car at a corner.‘You okay??'.She murmured as she moved onto the backseat and took her in her arms.Willow's cries only grew louder for the worse.Alice tried feeding,burping and even went ahead to coming out from the car so she could breathe fresh air but all to no avail.The sudden feeling of embarrassment as people glanced in her frustrated direction washed over her,she wished the ground could open and swallow her whole but it just wasn't possible.‘Come on Willow what is wrong with you?'.Tears began to fall slowly from her eyes and Landon came
Kayla smiled mischievously as she adjusted her baseball cap and squeezed a couple of hundred dollar bills into the security guard's palm.‘Is it done?'.She asked in a whisper and he nodded.‘I could literally go to jail for this'.He said.‘Anything for a dollar right? Now where is it?'.She snickered softly and stretched her left hand forward.He looked left and right,after seeing no one around,he handed her a file.She brought out a pen from her breast pocket and scribbled her signature,after that,she closed the finale and àhanded it back to him.‘Pleasure doing business with you'. -----------------------Alice walked into the office with her eyes all puffy and red from her lack of slee
Landon whistled loudly as he walked into his office much to Georgie's surprise seeing him happy for the first time.He was surely in a good mood and when he began to tap dance,his personal assistant instantly knew something was definitely wrong with him.‘Is he....is he happy?'.She whispered to Claire,the new receptionist who wasn't at her post.‘Pinch me.I think he's in a trance or something,maybe someone casted some voodoo stuff on him'.Claire muttered.‘What?... No!!... that doesn't even make—'.‘Georgie!!'.Landon yelled and she scurried up to her feet and walked into his office half-heartedly.Her fears relaxed the moment she saw the genuine grin on his face.It felt weird seeing him smile in a long time,the last time he did was when he would watch Alice tackle some difficult clients like he was pro
Luther paced forth and back furiously much to the detriment of Stacey who just wanted to have a good night and watch TV.He was blocking the screen.‘Come on,I don't have all night,I've got exams tomorrow'.She grunted.‘Shouldn't you be reading?'.He snapped back.‘I read all through the day,I have to finish this series or else I won't.....okay what's going on with you'.She reluctantly turned the TV off seeing the scowl on his face.He remained silent for a while and when he was sure she was listening,he relented and sat next to her.‘Is it about Alice?'.She asked.‘Yes.You know she's the first woman I've dated after you-know-who,I loved more than anything but still....'.‘You're scared she might go back to her ex.How many times do I have to tell you this Luther? She divorced h
Landon frowned deeply as he walked into his office only to see a stranger whom he has never met before,sitting on his couch and crossing her legs like she was welcome—too welcome.It took him a few seconds studying her face and that's when he realised she looked a lot like Alice—but Alice was more beautiful anyway.‘Can I help you with something? I do not tolerate visits without making an appointment first'.He cleared his throat as he dropped his briefcase on the table.Kayla smiled sheepishly as she studied his face.He was even more handsome and powerful looking upclose.Now she knows why Alice is always nervous when it comes to him, the man is a walking piece of beautiful!!.Landon's brows furrowed deeply as he waited for an explanation from the lady.He really wanted an explanation for how she looked like Alice.‘I'm Kayla.Kayla Montero, Alice's step-sister'.She finally spoke and stretched forth
‘Madam you have to be patient and understand we only want the best for him'.The nurse tried calming Alice down as she tried stopping her from going in with her father who was rolled in a stretcher.‘He...he needs me...you...you don't understand he needs me'.Alice stuttered and pleaded as she went down on her knees.There was a lot she said to him.There was a lot she needed to say to him,and every hope was lost as the possiblity of him not making it was messing around in her head.Kayla wasn't really heartbroken and rolling on the floor as her sister was.Instead,she kept her composure with Willow in her arms,although she was clearly scared.Fredrick wasn't father of the year on her part but he was still her father and if he died she wouldn't have anyone taking care of her bills,giving her connections and using the Fredrick Montero name to g
