Jack rolled his eyes " She did and you were at fault man, you were so rude to her! " He shouted, almost irritated. Alex's jaw dropped and his eyes widened as he stared at Ava " Just... Just what story did you feed him, you little... " He held his tongue in check before he swore. " What's wrong with telling him the truth?? "She fired back, her hands were placed on her hips now. Alex glared at her " And what truth did you conjure up? " He spatted out. She ignored him totally and looked away. " See? She has fed you lies, Jack! " He exclaimed, trying to make his brother see reason with him but Jack only rolled his eyes at him. " You better apologize to her because she took care of your sorry ass while you were bedridden and she's going nowhere, Alex. Get used to seeing her around " Jack said with a tone of finality. " What?! " Alex asked incredulously and continued to stare at Jack, trying to see if he really meant it. Jack threw him a sideway glance " I believe you heard me ju

Alex's next look was enough to make her get to work automatically as he pinned her with a deadly glare to which Ava returned with one of her own in full force before she came back to her senses and realized she had been glaring at her boss. With a shaky smile, she turned and started to dish out his food. She felt his eyes on her but refused to give in to the temptation to check if he was really staring at her. ******************" He's awake??! " Angela shrieked in a high pitched sound as she almost toppled over the chair out of surprise and shock. Her secretary Tyler, took some steps back to avoid being the target of whatever the emotion his boss was feeling. Being so sly and unpredictable, one never know what Angela's next action would be. " I asked you a question, Tyler " She added when the poor secretary seemed to be too scared to speak. " Yes... Yes ma'am " He finally found his voice and answered. " How... When?! " Angela asked frantically, pacing back and forth in t

Jack smiled, knowing fully well that it was an empty threat " Oh , you'll do no such thing. Now let's go, shall we? "If looks could kill, Jack was sure he would be on the floor now " Cut it out Alex, she's staying with you, now should I help you up? " He offered again and didn't expect his brother to accept his help knowing how stubborn he was. Just as he thought, Alex ignored his offer " Maybe you should consider taking her with you then, I'm sure Liam needs a babysitter badly " And he huffed. Jack rolled his eyes to show that he was bored " She's perfect for you Alex, not Liam. Trust me, you need it more than my son does " Jack answered with ease. Alex pondered over what his brother said and his head shot up as he understood what he meant " Is that supposed to be an insult?! "Jack shook his head " Take it as an advice instead, you need someone to keep you back on track. Now, let's get you back into the life you're used to, or do you wanna stay here all day? Maybe you wanna con

She nodded once and Alex attacked her lips as though he had been waiting for this all his life. Ava moved along and together, they explored the beauty hidden in their tongues. Instinctively, Alex's hands roamed up and stopped right below her breasts. It was as if he was waiting for some sort of reaction on Ava's part but she on the other hand, seemed to be lost in the kiss. Alex's hands moved up further and he started to caress her breasts through the thin linen of T-shirt she wore. Ava moaned softly at that. Alex took that as an approval and sneaked a hand under her shirt to grab one soft breast. Ava gasped at the contact and came back to her senses immediately. She staggered back, her face flushed from the kiss. " I... I think I need to go to bed " She said shakily while avoiding making eye contact with him. Alex nodded reluctantly, he didn't want her to leave. Heck, after the kiss they shared, he didn't want to let her out of his sight again. He wanted them to talk about it. He

He looked on in boredom as the guy beat around the bush for a while, not getting straight to the point immediately. " Lamar " He finally cut in when he couldn't bear with it anymore. " Sir? " Lamar replied with a flushed face because he knew Alex understood what he was into. " Can you go straight to the point please? Thank you " Alex said calmly and relaxed back in his chair as he studied Lamar calmly. Lamar took a deep breath and started talking " Miss Adams went to do grocery shopping "" Okay thank you, you may go now " Alex dismissed him with a wave of his hand. He looked up after he noticed that Lamar didn't make any attempt to leave. " Anything else, Lamar! " Alex asked with a raise of his eyebrows. " Uh, I think you need to see this " Lamar replied quickly and handed some photos to Alex when he extended his hand for the photos to be passed to him. A minute later, Black saw rage slowly crept up from within Alex. His jaw was clenched and he clutched the photos in his large
