There was a moment of silence after Alice had mentioned about the dinner with the Fax family to Theo. At this point Theo was speechless, he glanced at Alice for a while before getting his voice back."Will you be in attendance?" That was the only question that could come to Theo's mind right now. He wasn't ready to think because it would only turn out to be disastrous considering his current state of mind."Not having dinner with the Fax family is the deal No she said Hillary Holla was going to be in attendance as well, my question is, As What? Why should he be there?" Alice was quietly regaining her thinking, she knew Theo wouldn't have the perfect answer to her questions but she had to ask them out even though not to Theo."Wait, let's get things straight. Your mom called to inform you that you are being invited to a family dinner party with people that don't even consider you one and that Hillary Holla, that dickhead, will be in attendance? Right?" Alice nodded her head in response
STILL ON THEODORE'S POV.Waking up to the bright sun bricking its way into my room and a heavy object placed on my legs made me so uncomfortable. I tried moving the object on my leg first to get away from the sun but it seemed a bit impossible because the object was too huge to be carried away without much effort. So I raised my head to see what the object was, only to notice they were two pairs of someone's legs. "ALICE?" I wasn't surprised cause I recalled immediately what happened late at night, so I only smiled and then tried to wake her up but Alice being her, merely shaking her couldn't wake her up no matter how hard you called her so I had to push her not intentionally down from the mattress but it happened. Falling flat on the ground also surprised knew that I wasn't going scout-free on this one. I had to try sneaking away but she caught me anyway.Running around the living room with Alice right behind me trying to catch and deal with me was another level of exercise, she qui

Alice moved over to the canter and sat down with her jaws resting on her hand. She kept up with thinking of what to make for dinner, nothing was coming to mind so she sluggishly stood up, ran to her room, took her purse and a jacket, and moved out of the house. Alice ran to the nearest convince store where she picked out a huge amount of vegetables, more beef, Chicken, and ingredients for Beef Stew.She carried the stuff to the canter where the cashier stood and waited up for her."Hello dear, how are you today?" Alice walked up to the canter only to see an old woman who was smiling at her, she smiled back in response to the woman's nice gestures."Am fine and you?" Alice placed all her stuff on the canter as she had little by little chit-chat."Am okay thank you" The old woman smiled at Alice as she started checking the stuff she had brought. Once she was done with it, she put everything in a nylon bag and handed them over to Alice while Alice brought out her pay card and handed them
Theodore has his mind on the family meeting all through the day, and how he is going to face his sisters regarding the current relationship he has with them. These thoughts made him not concentrate on work today, all he did was sit behind and watch the clock tick. Fortunately for him, He fell asleep as he watched the clock.4:18 pmTheo woke up and the first thing his eyes came in contact with was the clock. He stared at it for a while then remembered where he was supposed to be so he quickly dived out of his bed into the bathroom. He didn't bother making dinner knowing fully well that Alice was having dinner at Valentino's place today. Once he was done taking a bath, he put on one of his suits which Alice had gotten for him on his promotion day, he looked himself up in the mirror and took a deep breath before walking out of his room, and out of the house to where his car was parked. Theo's mom and sisters don't know how much of success he has achieved ever since they had cut tiles w
What was that for?"Alice looked furious at Valentino though she wasn't sure if she was but she knew she needed to be."I can't even explain myself" Valentino looked for the right words on how to explain what just happened out there but he just couldn't fix it."Let's just forget this, okay?" He ran out of the room and back to the hall to get himself in any way a bit distracted from the kiss.Alice was speechless, she didn't know how to react to this" How in the world could someone be so rude to the magnitude that he claims hegemony over his own mistake?" She honestly didn't have a retort to that so she left the room with the query unanswered Hopefully someday those answers will come rushing over to her. She went back to the hall as well only to find her supposed mother-in-law looking for her."Alice, where have you been? I have searched the entire place for you. I hope all is well. Or don't you like your party?."Mrs. Annabelle was ready to do everything just for Alice to be happy. So s
"What? Jamal?" Why… Why would he do such a thing to me? no, maybe someone is just trying to frame him about this whole situation" I need to go show this to Mom and Dad." Valentino went out to find his parents and there they were seated in the lobby, with my Dad's arm crossed over to his wife's body in a comfortable way."Mom.''They turned over to find Valentino standing like a raucous animal with tears in his eyes. Mrs. Annabelle rushed over to him and dragged him to a seat. "Baby, stop crying, the police are doing everything in their power to make sure that they found Elizabeth and they will trust me. We just have to stay strong and I promise that Elizabeth will be fine and things will get better, OK?" She was already crying even more than Valentino, Mr. Daniel noticed that everything his wife had said only made Valentino cry more than comfort him."Son.? What is the problem? Did you receive any news and call from anybody or even a text message."Mr. Daniel had spouted to be able to
On her way back home, Brenda walked blindly on the road and was quite too sad to notice the girl standing right in front of her. She walked pass her like a ghost without having a glance at her.Mich starred at the young girl almost her age as she walked pass her like a lost puppy. She got a bit concerned with the fact that she looked pale and saddened, immediately a thought of stopping her slipped her mind but on second thoughts she got a hold of herself once at the remindal of who she was.Mich will be turning 18 by the end of the following month, she's an Omega who's parents are both dead and has no one that cares about her. She has been alone since the past three years when her mom was wiped to death. Ever since then, she always hides herself in the bush or in a closet or a basement just to avoid being bullied by the other park members of her age.Brenda got home dasvastated, she didn't let words slip from her to anyone about her whereabouts. She slowly got up to her room and slamm
The ride to the field where the jet was awaiting their arrival was peaceful, aside from the part where Valentino wouldn't take his eyes off Alice. Alice felt a hell hole burn on her skin, she knew it was Valentino, but she didn't understand Valentino's reactions and his wants. This minute he kissed her without permission out of self will and the next minute he was at the edge, pissed and ready to devour her. Alice was no longer feeling comfortable so she had to adjust on her seat and yet he still had his eyes on her.The car pulled up at the side of the jet, and everyone hurriedly came out of the car and ran into the jet, Valentino was the first to enter followed by Alice. He held out a hand for Alice to grab on it while climbing up the jet but instead, Alice went ahead to hold the sides of the jet entrance door and climbed in, rolling her eyes on Valentino while he stared at her as she walked right to a seat.*******Valentino's POV.This was hard, seeing how she looked at me with so
Alice no longer knew what to think right now, it never crossed her mind that they could be setting up a marriage for her which was never going to happen with or without her consult. She didn't want to bring her mom back into the picture but since she was the one who had asked her to be here for this dinner date that meant she had lots and lots of explanations to make. Alice took up her phone and dialed her mom's number not even trying to consider her position right now."What are you doing?" Theo stared at Alice for a long while just to understand what was going on in her head but it all was to no avail. He didn't know what to think anymore as Alice was busy dialing someone's number."My mom, I need to get these things straight" Alice replied and waited for Jamie to pick up the call. Theo sat still together with Alice waiting for Jamie to pick. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea to give her a call now and right here in the hotel but since Alice was already set on doing so and he wo
Everyone stood amazed at the display, the servants had their jaws drop. Jamie had refused Xavier's orders which felt like a death sentence to most of the servants.Jamie was surprised and utterly speechless at how Xavier must have gained the guts to drag her back like she was one of his possessions that he could drag around the way he wanted, she was shocked at first but after they had exchanged a long-term stare, Jamie became certain that Xavier now fears nothing just like his Mom. She tried dragging her hand away from Xavier's grip but he seemed to have held on to it so right that her efforts felt effortless."Xavier, what's your problem with me?" Jamie turned to face him fully and with a low tone, she asked. Xavier laughed a bit before responding to the question."Do you think I have a problem with you? Is that what you think? Oh then you must be so dumb and sick in the head" Rita busted out into laughter, she laughed while Xavier joined her."Son, I told you right? She's as sick a
"What was the next-door lady saying to you?"Theo side hugged Alice as a welcome pet. He did hear some voices out in the passage of their apartment; he just didn't feel the need to go out, knowing fully well that among those voices one was Alice's, so he didn't bother."That was not our neighbor Theo, it was Emiliana" It was more like talking about her or calling Emiliana's name made Alice feel so tired."What does she want?" Theo got a little pissed"I don't know, am not sure of what she wants but she did mention how she was here to lend me some advice""Which was?""You know, she came blabbing on how I should leave Valentino alone and that I will get screwed out sooner than later"Alice rolled her eyes at her explanation."I can't even remember how you got yourself into this sh**ty contract but trust me I don't think the pay is worth the trouble, I mean how did Emiliana get to know where you stay?""Maybe some investigators did give her my address or she must have run a background che
Theodore am home" Alice screamed as she unlocked the door to her apartment.After the air had been cleared with Valentino feeling free from the tension between him & Alice. Alice also had made herself clear, she came down to the living room and met Dominic going through some paperwork."Hey babe" Alice greeted. Dominic raised his head to see Alice emerging towards him, he suspended the papers he was with and tossed them to a side."How are you feeling?" Dominic asked, having noticed that she was coming out from Valentino's office which means that they must have resolved the issues between them."Yes, I'm fine, can I get a ride home please?" Alice looked exhausted and Dominic saw that too, so he didn't wait for her to ask again. He was already on his feet, calling on some servants to take Alice's box to his car while he went and got his car key."Let's go, babe" Dominic headed his way out of the house while Alice followed behind." When next are you coming over to the house?"Dominic fig
Alice ended the call once he was done with her mom she"What was she talking about? Who are you going on a dinner date with?" Theo asked as he realized that Alice was no longer on phone with her mom. He didn't understand what was going on, so he had to wait for Alice to be through with the call."Some random guy that I don't know anything about and she won't give me details on him not untill am done with the date" Alice reply still in her state of confusion."And when is the date? How are you even supposed to go meet someone with having a picture of them or stuff?" Theo was starting to get irritated by this set of arrangements. At some point, he didn't want to think of Jamie as a thoughtless person considering where she was. Anyone that didn't know better will equrraly think that Jamie wasn't trustworthy.Alice sat still thinking of what to do, she has two options right now which were either she goes for the dinner date or stay put and wait for whatever that was going to happen which
Valentino didn't understand why he said Alice was the problem, he stood there as confused as things were. Valentino wasn't someone who did not have the answer to every question but right now, he still couldn't find a way to explain so, he had to run away before Alice recovered from her shock and started asking him unstoppable questions that had no answer.Alice was a bit confused and didn't know how to respond to that, she had to rethink to understand what he meant by "You". How come suddenly Alice is now the problem?" How am I the problem? Did I do anything wrong thattoesheconfusese me so much?" Alice was about to tell Valentino how confused she was right now when he walked away and just as he left, Dominic came out of nowhere."Hey babe, How is it going?" Dominic knew Valentine could be a douchebag most times, so seeing Alice looking so worn out wasn't an issue."Am super cool, how is it going with you as well, have you heard from Emile since she left?"Alice asked cause she didn't k
I object" The audience became chaotic immediately when they saw and noticed the lady who stood to object to the marriage. All the stares and looks went over to where she stood, most women were already crushing on her, while others were just left in awe."I am Emiliana Henry" She chuckled. "Both of you thought you could screw me over right? You rejoiced that you had toasted me to a side and I was never going to come near but guess what I have good news "Emiliana approached Alice and Valentino while she split all her words out in disgust."Emiliana, let's talk about this after the wedding please"Valentino rushed over and held Emile by the arm. She pushed herself away from Valentino."Oh funny. Now you want to talk about it, No talk about what? Is it the part that you tried to screw me over or the part that I am two weeks pregnant Valentino?" Valentino was speechless. At the hearing of this, everyone stood to their feet, some started leaving the church while the others lingered around to
Dominic sat by the window flank in the cafe he was in while waiting for Alice once she got there, Dominic had explained everything that happened at Emiliana's house."You had to do what you could, why would he be angry? It's not like his into Emile" Alice didn't get the part that had explained to her about how furious Valentino would be once he finds out that Dominic had s*x with Emile."Valentino has this sense of him that refuses to agree or accept anything that has to go with taking advantage of a situation. Just after the incident with Elizabeth, he has been against so many fortes" Dominic elucidated."Ok I guess he was made to learn the hard way and right now he will also have no other option than to formulate this one as well. Let's go"Alice stood up, carried her purse, and walked out of the cafe while Dominic tailed behind her. They got to the house but before Alice could open the door Dominic stopped for a talk."Can you please pretend I didn't say a thing to you? Please?" He
