Alexandra looked at him and said “Sir, I think it’s rather late for any compromise. It’s okay if we talked about all that happened but it won’t change my mind cos you have completely ruined my life over the fact that I was unknowingly pregnant for someone else while in a relationship with you…. Kirklin, I lost my virginity accidentally to a stranger and I didn’t know that I was pregnant as a result of the mistake. You and I started an affair a few days after the act and I didn’t know that I was pregnant, else I wouldn’t have agreed to be your girlfriend. If you remember clearly on the Saturday meeting that you fixed…... {sniffs back tears} …I was really sad and you wanted to know what was wrong with me but I was not comfortable divulging it to you then. I was devastated by the mistake I made that led to me losing my virginity. We started dating a few days later and by this time, you had brought so much joy to me that I completely forgot about the horrible event which made me very sad

As Alexandra turned back to ask Kirklin about the bracelet, she saw him looking dejected and sad. “Could he be truly sorry?” She thought to herself but she soon shoved off the feeling as he didn’t deserve her empathy and she further determined in her heart to remain focused on their divorce. Kirklin, I never meant to intrude into your private life and I have never taken any of your things before. But there was a day I needed some money to go to the hospital and you wouldn’t give me any so I came here to check if I could find any amount to take me to the hospital but I didn’t see any money so I left.Kirklin continued to look at her calmly as she spoke. “I checked that last drawer and saw 2 bottles of perfume and a bracelet. Where did you buy the bracelet?” she asked. Kirklin didn’t understand what she meant at first as he appeared lost. He furrowed his eyebrow and said, “The bracelet?” “Yes, can I go and bring it out,” she asked. “Sure,” Kirklin said as he stretched out his hand

Kirklin got up, threw a fist in the air, and sat back on the bed. He didn’t understand how he got himself into this huge mess. “How can I convince Xandra that I’m sorry and let her know I won’t repeat any of those behaviors again?” He thought. “The poor girl cannot even trust or love you anymore, d*ckhead!” He exclaimed to himself as he smacked his forehead. He brought the bracelet out from his pocket and opened the drawer that Alexandra had brought it out from in order to return it. As he opened the drawer, he saw a very familiar item; his executive pen that had gone missing some years ago. He was confused over why it was in Alexandra’s drawer as he had never used that bedroom for anything. “This pen got missing at the hotel in Paris if I’m not mistaken?” he thought. Suddenly the door opened and he looked back. It was Alexandra who had come to pick up her things as she was ready to leave his house for good and stay with her parents-in-law pending the finalization of their divorce

Kirklin regretted how he had caused their beautiful love affair that started as a CEO-Assistant relationship to deteriorate to the extent that he assaulted, abused, and victimized her. He hated himself for all his actions, but he had to sort Alexandra out first before he would think of himself. Alexandra cried so much and became very tired. Kirklin carried her to sit on the sofa and put her head on his chest so she could let out her tears. She narrated how she had attempted suicide and Kirklin pleaded with her never to think of suicide as an option to get out of a messy situation. “Sweetheart, suicide is not an option when you are in trouble. Think of what could happen positively the next minute you are gone. Think of the sorrow you would cause your loved ones after you are gone. I know life could be hard at times but there is always light at the end of every tunnel. All that is required is to hold on just one more time. I’m glad that you were able to speak with your foster parents

Alexandra and Kirklin decided to let bygone be bygone and start their marriage on a clean sheet. Kirklin was grateful that she had the heart to still forgive him despite all he did to her. He promised to stay by her side and be the best husband to her till death do them part. He took her to his parent's house that evening and Keith and Kelsey were happy that he had decided to turn over a new leaf and treat his wife rightly. Kirklin called Samantha after they got back to their house to inform her that he wasn't interested in their affair anymore and warned her he would get the police involved if she made any attempt to come near him. Samantha was heartbroken by the call and she knew that was the end to the money she was collecting from Kirklin. She decided to focus on her other clients to siphon money from them. Kirklin was too ashamed of himself so he needed to ensure Alexandra got her health and good looks back. He took her on a one-month honeymoon to Hawaii where both of them hope
