Alphia woke up very early, she got Danny all set for his trip, while Sarah helped prepare Leonard for school. Danny got into the car staring at his father wave at him, he could not hold back his tears. As the drive took off, he let it all fall. The ride to the airport was quiet, and he soon boarded and left. Alphia got very busy with taking care of the home, she was now in charge of so many things as Mrs. Grey was most absent and her health was not helping matters. She walked out of her room, and the sound of shattering plates coming from the dinner area caught her off guard. Leonard was having his breakfast, Alphia sprang to her feet, the thought of her son getting hurt was not something she could bear. She ran to the dining room, Leonard stood still with his eyes on the floor, Alphia followed the look of her son and found every dish used in serving Danny had been shattered. She walked up to him, taking him into her arms. She could feel his trembling body relax under her touch. ‘’I
They all worried for her, hade was a cheerful type, and around the mansion making sure everything was where it should be, she brought in light with her. However for the past 2 weeks, she has lived like a shadow of herself, he barely slept or ate. She only smiled when Leo was around, her eyes carried so much pain, and she had lost a good amount of weight which was not good for her health. She dashed towards Mrs. Grey's room knocking hard on the door. It was soon answered and she ushered herself in. Mrs. Grey was still in bed, she looked even more fragile than the last time Alphia had seen her. It was clear her health was getting the best of her. ‘’Why are you here?’’ Mrs. Grey snapped. Her voice sounded even more fragile which made Alphia’s heartache on her behalf. She knew she hated her and there was nothing she could do about it, but she was still the grandmother to her child and mother to Danny, she could not bring herself to tell her about her fears. ‘’I came to ask what you woul
Leonard was a smart kid and Alphia knew that. She could not keep it away from him, her emotions were just too much. How was she to explain the sudden white decorations that had commenced already? How was she to hide it from him that the corpse which would be arriving in no time is not that of his father? She watched as the blood drained from her son. He trembled under her touch but he did not let out a sound. Rather he inched even closer and hugged his mother. Leonard understood he was now the man of the house and had to protect his mother. She could not hold back her tears, she felt like a coward for having her almost 3-year-old son comfort her when it had to be her place to have him in her arms. Sarah was standing over her, her heart broken in a thousand shades watching the people she cared so much for break. ‘’Sarah please help me stay with Leonard, I have to oversee the burial preparations`` Leonard walks over to her without saying a word or resisting. I walked out and everythin
‘’I miss you’’ she murmurs to no one, his picture standing on the nightstand with her and Leonard. How could she not miss this man, he was barely gone, it had not been a day and everything was already going another way, her emotions were all over the place and the greedy uncles were more than ready to start throwing claims around. She quickly got into the shower, she had a long bath. If they wanted war, then war they would get. She was losing no one else to this feud and she was going to make sure of it. She walked in wearing a black suit jacket black pants and black shiny heels. The makeup is light and dangerous. She accompanied her looks with her long hair tied in a nicely made bun. She looked dangerously beautiful. She was mourning and unlike other times when she would have loved to accompany her dress with colorful aspects and some accessories, she only wore her wedding ring. This was all left of him, a memory she would love to put on replay in her head. She picks up her black
Everyone was ready and waiting. Alphia walked in with her son, the chairwoman's seat was vacant, and two seats at its side stood vacant as well. It was for her and Matthew. Mathew was not a shareholder in any of the Grey companies, but he was a staff and well-trusted employee of Danny, his presence was just as important as any other. Alphia walked over to the chairwoman's seat and placed her son in it while she took the seat closer to him on the left and Mathw did the same with the seat to the right. ‘’What nonsense is this? First, you are late and now you put your son on something which is not his?”’ one of the shareholders barked. The extended family of the Grey had been exterminated doing business with Grey, however, Danny had found out before his death that most shareholders were friends of the people they had been trying so hard to keep out, and the most devastating news is they bought the shares for them and were in good collaboration. Now more than ever he hopes his son will b
It's been 2 months since the passing of Danny. Alphia has been very busy with handling work at the company, she indeed had the support of everyone including Mathew and other staff. The mansion was doing great, and Leonard was doing great with schoolwork and was improving. Alphia was scared the loss of his father would make him weak, but it rather strengthened him, he has been working even harder, he no longer played and every time he should have been playing was directed towards learning new things. This attitude of his scared alphia. This was not the son she gave birth to, she was no longer herself, and everyone changed. Mrs Grey is over in England for treatment, she could not smile. The light of her life suddenly went out. Alphia got home, it's been a tiring day at work. The light in Leonard's room was illuminating, she walked over and before she could open the door she heard voices. ‘’Why won't you give in Leo, you are a child and no one would believe you”’ the voice sounded too
‘’Ask you say? Alphia, I was born to be a young lady adored and showered with the best of dresses and jewelry, I was not born to be a maid but you took everything away from me. At first, I did not hate you, I loved you and treated you as my equal but after finding out how it all went down, I could not help it. How could you take everything from me, how could you not be sad when you make others cry”’ Sarah's voice carried so much hate and disdain. Alphia nor Matthew understood what she was dwelling on. ‘’What's this all about? I have never hurt you, I mean not intentionally, I have loved you and given you the privilege of looking after my son and this is what you do to me? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much?”’ Sarah laughed out like the witch she was. “Did you say you loved me? Alphia you have only loved yourself. I loved him, I was there when he fought countless times with his mother. At first, it was just like we were friends. I watched him move from jovial to lo
Mrs. Alphia had tears in her eyes when she was done, she never wanted her children to see this side of her, especially not Leonard, he took the company over from as early as 17, he made sure she got spoiled and now Grey Empire is solely owned by the Grey family. He made her husband's wish come true, who wouldn't be proud of such a son, he gave Daniel everything. It was a bad habit, however, Leonard did not take it to heart. He wanted his brother out of business, he wanted him to enjoy his youth and join him when he was ready and if he never was, that was okay with him. Mrs. Alpha and Leonard sat unfazed by the past, however, Daniel was not the same; he was a mess, a crying baby by the time his mother was done. He had been well shielded from everything, he knew his father died before he was born, however, he did not get a chance to miss out as Leonard was more than a big brother to him. At some point, he had asked if he could bring him to school as his father. It had been ridiculous
