“No." I said adamantly as I dragged my Aunt's hand trying to get her out of the gate. “ I'm very grateful for everything you have done for me but you cannot stay with me. I won't allow it. If you need some money, I can send you some later." I said pushing out of the gate despite her resistance. Once she's out of the house, I head back to sleep thinking that she would be gone by the time I woke up. To my surprise, I walk down the stairs the next day to see her sitting down in the living room with Kingston's grandmother. Gasping in shock as I walked down, I moved closer to see if I was really sleeping or not. “ Alexa, is it true that you left your Aunt outside all night? What were you thinking?" Kingston's grandmother asked staring at me as if I am the biggest disappointment in the world. “Aunt, I thought you went back. I told you to go back. What are you doing here?" I asked trying to grab her hand once more but my Aunt easily dodges me. " I'm not living. I don't have a place to sta

Rushing out of the room, I head over to Shawn's room to take a good look at him. The nanny was right. Shawn was not breathing. Letting the anxiety get to my head, I rush down the stairs almost screaming. Spotting me carrying Shawn, Prince rushed over to me. “What's wrong, Alexa? Is Shawn okay?" Prince asked taking Shawn from my hand. Helping me into his car, Prince rushed us to the hospital. While I am pacing about anxiously, Prince heads out to get some things that Shawn might need. He was an asshole. He might be the man that had betrayed me but he was here when my child needed him the most. Meanwhile, the baby's real father was drunk instead. “ Don't worry about anything. He will be fine, Lexie.” Prince said holding my hand in his. Staying with me the entire night, Prince and I returned back to the house in the morning. By the time we arrived back to the house, everyone was already awake staring at us. Watching Prince's mother walk up to me, I can tell what she is going to do al

Getting up from my Aunt's bed, I stare at her feeling so much disappointment that it leaves me speechless. It was impossible. My mother-in-law would never cheat on her husband. I believe that this only happens in normal households like mine. My mother had cheated on my father because he couldn't provide a better life for her. In return, my father killed my mother and committed suicide. There always had to be a reason. “ I can't believe you. Is this what you spend your time doing all day? Gossiping? It's impossible that King's mother would be having an affair.” I said defending her even though we didn't get along at all. "Alexa, I am telling you the truth. Do I look like someone who would lie about this sort of thing? I saw them. They were together in the parking lot downstairs ” My Aunt said trying hard to convince me. However, I couldn't just buy it at all. “ Did you see them holding hands or something? Were they kissing?" I asked folding my arms. " They weren't but, they were a

As the meeting took off, tension filled the room. The directors and shareholders gathered, and everyone was eager to hear the proposals from King and Prince. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to witness it firsthand. I had to stay back because of Prince. But, thanks to my colleague, who kept me updated via video call, I didn't miss a thing.King's father, the CEO, opened the meeting with a stern look. "Have you two prepared your materials? This is very important, so please take it seriously," he said, directing his gaze towards King. I could sense that he had high hopes for his son's proposal.King's team was the first to present their proposal, and I was confident that they would impress everyone. After all, I had stayed up all night helping King make adjustments to the design. But as I watched from my phone, Prince sat calmly, his face giving nothing away. I felt uneasy because I knew that Prince was notorious for pulling surprises.The room erupted in applause as King finished his pres

I had never seen King get that angry before. He didn't raise his voice or anything yet I could see it. Watching him push Victoria and his mother out of our room, King closed the door slamming it hard before coming back to sit on the bed. “ I swear I didn't do it. How can I be so audacious as to steal company funds? I'm just Prince's secretary. This must have something to do with Prince. I'm sure that someone came here and stole the papers I got for your grandmother.” I said running my hands through my hair without realizing I had confessed everything. “Grandma asked you to bring those documents?" King asked making me pause. Having no other option, I decided to tell King the truth. It was a win-win deal for both of us so I hoped he wasn't going to scold me too much. He had repeatedly asked me not to meddle or cause trouble but I didn't listen. Now, I had been set up because of it. While both of us are searching for the documents that I had left on the dresser before, someone knocks
