CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY ONEALEXANDER After the second round of sex that night, I carried Sally to the bed. She was breathing heavily and, at the same time, faintly as a result of exhaustion. I lay her in bed and tucked her in until she fell asleep. I made sure that Sally was deeply asleep before standing up from the bed. I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was almost midnight, and I hadn't had dinner yet. I wondered if Sally had, and immediately after I did the wondering. The answer came flashing to my face. I saw a plate of food open on the table. It was almost dried up, and half of it had been eaten already. I saw the label on the plate and immediately knew that she ordered food. I stared back at Sally, who was sleeping peacefully and felt bad for a bit. I knew she was going through a lot already, and I just couldn't help it. I decided to go grab something from the kitchen when my phone beeped. I picked it up and saw that the message was from Clinton. I opened

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY THREE JAMES It was finally Saturday morning. While I dressed up for dinner with my parents as the family house. I began to contemplate on what Beverly told me.I had disagree immediately and sent Beverly away. The idea seemed to be petty to me. Why would I want to get to Sally through Jessica, her younger sister? If it was Alex, I would have gladly agreed, but Beverly wouldn't want to hurt Alex. So there was no point being petty by trying to Sally by hurting her younger sister.I picked up my car keys and walked out of my room. I didn't want to be at the dinner. Especially since it has been confirmed that Alex would be there. I drove myself to my family house, allowing my driver to race for today. Getting to the house My parents were already waiting for me, and dinner was already fully prepared."Welcome, my son. I am so glad you finally decided to come." I rolled my eyes as I hooked my mum. If only she knew that I didn't come because I wanted to, I

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FIVEBEVERLY I was seated in my room as different thoughts ran through my mind. I could hear my baby crying in his bed, but I pretended that I couldn't hear it. I didn't want the baby to pause my plans. My mom walked out of her room and into mine. She stared at me for a while and shook her head before walking towards the baby. She picked up the baby and walked away. I rolled my eyes after she left. This had been the routine since I came back from the hospital.My mom had been the one taking care of the baby. I didn't care about the baby. I barely even fed him. I could still hear him crying from my mom's room, but I didn't care. I was thinking of how to get Sally out of Alex's life so that I could have him all to myself since James had refused to work with me. I knew I couldn't do it alone. I needed someone to work with me on this.There was another option left, which was killing Sally. The best option was to get rid of her. At least then I would have Al

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY SEVENBEVERLY I decided to visit James so that we could talk about our plans without any interruptions. I called him and then informed him that I was coming before I left the house.James was home he told me he didn't have anywhere to go so I could come. I got dressed, took a cab, and went straight to James's house."You're here," he noted immediately when he opened the door and saw me. "You thought that I would not come?" I asked him as I walked into the house."The way you responded to my call. I thought you were no longer interested in working with me.""Come off it," I scolded him. I walked ahead into the house and sat down on the couch without waiting for him to ask me to sit. "You're too full of yourself, for someone who was once a maid," James mocked. I was shocked. That was the last thing I expected James to say, especially since I had never spoken to him about my personal life. I knew Sally didn't tell him that, either.Maybe she did. That

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY NINESALLYI walked out of the meeting room and went straight to my office. immediately when I sat down, my phone began to ring. I stared at the screen and saw that it was Jessica who was calling me. I smiled because I had missed her. I wondered what she had to say this time.Nevertheless, I picked up the call. "Hello, Jessi," I called out, but there was no response.I continued calling out Jessica, but there was no response from her end. I kept calling Jessica's name, but still, there was no reply until it hung up. I tried calling her again, but there was no response. I dialled her number thrice. When she didn't pick the third time, I decided to let her be..I left my phone in my office and decided to go supervise the packaging of the scandal goods that had been reproduced. I strolled around the room and made sure that everyone present there had something doing.I also supervised the faces of those who were in the team just to ensure that there were n
