Chapter Fifty Three
ALEXANDER'S POV.Who the hell are you?I asked. Fixing my Gaze on the man who was standing in front of us. He was about 6 feet 3 inches tall with broad shoulders and wild eyes. He had his hair brushed neatly in a ponytail behind his back. He flashed a smile abroad and said nothing, puffing out slight almost invincible smokes from his cigarette. He was dressed in black suit and pants and as he stood there dragging in every smoke the tattoo on the exposed part of his chest seemed to broaden.I turned to James in awe and surprise then back to the man who has decided to remain mute in front of us."Hey look, you are not going to walk up in my office and act like you owe this place. I said. The man chuckled and puffed out another mouth full of his cigarette smoke."You must think you are smart". He said and took a few steps forward then paused at a short distance so Jane and I could get a full view of his huge body. " I asked a question and you haven't answered," I told him." Well you wi

Chapter Fifty Four
ALEXANDER'S POVAfter we stared into each other's eyes for what seemed so long I couldn't recall how long we stared. He flashed me a wicked smile before putting his hat back on his head. I made to hit him but thought about my actions since I was unarmed and didn't know if he had any weapon with him. Of course, I was sure he wouldn't have gotten me to the premises with a weapon strap to his body. He grinned and worked out. "What the fick was that?"James asked. Looking more puzzled than I am. "You ask me? You saw all that happened yourself". " I am being threatened by a man I have nothing to do with. I mean what has the world turned into?"I could swear with my life I do not know this man. "What are you going to do now? ""I don't know James but I will figure something out as soon as possible". I took in a short heavy breath and then exhaled as soon as I took it in. I rushed over to my desk and put a call through to the security outside. Holding the receiver to my ears. "Boss""

Chapter Fifty Five
ALEXANDER'S POVI was so pissed and angry. After all these months of trying to seal this deal, I get shoved into a corner by some intruder who just wants to bring me down at all costs. I have not been humiliated like this in my entire life. James and I drove home in silence and when I got to his estate I asked my driver to drop him off before taking the right turn to my mother's mansion. I wanted her to explain to me what was going on. She was about to have a meal by the time I arrived. Alex, you are here? She asked. She wasn't expecting me, sure I knew that. She examined my stern and rigid face for a while. I scratched my head and took off my suit jacket then pulled out the seat directly opposite hers and sank myself hopelessly in it. "You look tense and uneasy, what is the problem? She asked casually while she tried to maintain a balance between talking to me and cutting out a chunk of her chicken. "I am not a fine mother," I said in a calm voice. At least I had to give her t

ALEXANDER'S POVI stormed out of my mom's hours after she gave me the shock of my life. The enemies she had built for me were just enough to pull my entire generation down. Fon Derego has not come to pay I was sure about that and if I give him a chance he would ruin all I have worked for in years.As I stormed out of the building. I heard my name so I turned to check and there was standing in her favorite black dress looking like a witch with her son trapped on her left shoulder. "What the hell do you want? Sophia?"I was infuriated and upset at the sight of her and her child. "you're not even going to look at your son?". "No Sophia, please do not start. You and I know this boy isn't mine and I wonder what the fuck you and this thing are still doing around my property". "This isn't your property Alex and you can't change the fact that this boy here is your son". "I only called to talk to you like an adult but it's obvious you are still the mummy's boy you've always been".

Chapter Fifty Seven
ALEXANDER'S POVMy driver quickly took the next turn leading to the large parking lot beside the hospital. I needed to digest the gist I was having with James before going to the j side so I sat in the car as the cool Air from the air conditioner hit my skin. "Soon James sent a laughing emoji after going through the DNA test result Sophia had given to me. I had the perfect plan to disgrace her out of that house if she was not careful. I don't know what games she was playing and I didn't care. All I wanted was for her and that baby to disappear into thin air and never return to my life. She is my past and that's where she will remain. After staying for a while I came out of the car and went straight to the hospital.

I woke up and took the left turn into a large hallway leading to numerous rooms harboring sick people both adults and ch

Chapter Fifty Eight
HELENA'S POVA warm summer is more a discipline than a gift. The agonizing intensity makes us anxious and dormant.The period between first light and dawn is a wonderful sight. The nightfall scene is the most engaging. The quiet and peaceful environment, the cool and supporting environment, and the invigorating breeze mitigate our spirits. The sweet peeping sound of birds seems, by all accounts, to be the most charming.The splendid, delightful light of the sun moves quickly over the world as I open the entryway. I feel perfect, the sun is sparkling. The air smells similarly as wonderful as a local Grill. I know it is going to be a decent day. I keep on strolling yet at a sluggish speed. It's such a delightful day out that I need to notice and take in all that nature brings to the table for the afternoon. The sun is feeling astonishing as a warm cover on a chilly day, I keep on hearing the water of the wellspring falling once more into the stream it emerged from.I see a gathering of

Chapter Fifty Nine
HELENA'S POVIt's been two weeks since I last left the hospital after the fight between Alex and Gabriel. I wasn't bothered anymore as I have decided to help Alex fight every hidden enemy in his life and including his mother as she is bent on making things difficult. Since I was already six months gone I was not allowed to travel very long distances. I have missed my dad so much and so I spoke to Alexander about letting him stay with us for a few days since he longer has his gardening job. I took the risk of letting him into our house and prayed Isabella doesn't show up because I was ready to fight her with every drop of blood I had in me. I have been way too quiet and soft for too long. Alex had assured me that this was my house as well and as long as I remained his wife this was my territory to keep. At least for some weeks, there hasn't been any occasion of threats and car chases. I would have had a little peace if not for that Sophia lady that keeps coming here every other day t

Chapter Sixty
ALEXANDER'S POV Six o’clock in the morning and the town is already astir. Newspaper vendors with loads of paper on their motorcycles make their rounds. Sometimes they can hardly be seen because the newspapers cover their headlights. They take some risks riding around like this, but I suppose they are used to it.I decided to accompany my wife to the lake just a few meters away from the mansion. It was the Lake Gardens Park. A very small park is located in the estate. She goes there once a week mostly in the mornings when she is energized just to see the morning creatures and a few of the dew so she always said and I wondered why. It is a good idea because the air is so fresh and cool in the morning. However, it was still dark so I escorted her there as well as kept the security on guard just in case we had an intruder. "Morning walks are good for a pregnant lady," the doctor had told me the last time I accompanied her for her antenatal. And since she liked the idea I thought it was
