Chapter 96

The duvet was on the floor, papers torn on the floor too, he walked closer and saw her swollen eyes. Her hair was tattered as if she’s insane. She looks like she hasn’t bath since the day she was born.
“What the f*ck is this Sheila? Have you finally lost your mind?” He asked as he rushed to open the windows for good ventilation.
“Ben stop shouting! I told you not to shout at me, it will affect my baby” she said but it came out as a whisper.
She started rubbing her stomach as she said, ‘she is the only option I have to get Aiden back”
” Hey look at me” he said as he squat in front of her, he wanted to let her go and run to the bathroom to puke but before he does that, he needs to knock some senses into her.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Aiden is gone, all you have is your baby and us. So stop acting like a spoilt brat and get your ass off the ground, take a bath and come downstairs for breakfast” he said before standing up
” Why should I?” Sheila asked, “because your family needs you. Mom is downstairs waiting for you to come out of this smelly room” he said covering his nose.
” That’s harsh” she mumble, “get out of this room if you don’t want me to sat more harsh words to you” he said and walked out of room.
Sheila run her bump that was now a bit visible. She took a deep breath and stood up to do everything Ben said. Maybe if she stop bothering Aiden he would learn to love and miss her.

Aiden was sitting in a restaurant waiting for Claire. They want to talk about business but Aiden is much more excited because he sees it as a date.
Ever since he had a one night stand with Claire he couldn’t get her out of his head. He doesn’t know if what he is feeling is love or something else but as far as he knows, he wants to be with her everytime if that is possible.
He wanted to check the time when someone suddenly covered his eyes. He smile and held the soft hand. He removed it from his eyes and it rested on his shoulders.
“You are late” he said as the person walked away from his back to sit in the seat opposite to him.
“Sorry, meetings” she pouted and he smile. He was going to pretend to be mad when she gets there but seeing her now, he can’t pretend let alone be really mad at her.
“Have you eaten?” He asked and she shook her head sideways to say no. “Let’s order something before we talk about this” he said raising s documents briefly.
She nodded in agreement, a waiter walked towards them, they ordered something and after few minutes it was brought to their table.
“So how is your ex fiancee and your step sister?” Aiden asked as they ate.
” I dealt with them” she replied with a smile, “what did you do? ” He asked.
“I transferred all the money in my ex fiancee account to charity, my step sister I look everything I gave her and they are both miserable right now” she said with a victorious smile
” You are something else” he said and she chuckle. ” They started it and I payed them back” she said.
They charted about a lot of things and then the documents before she finally left and he returned to his office

Alex couldn’t concentrate on his work, his mind kept drifting to the necklace he saw on Alice.
It was the same necklace he saw the night of the drunken mistake, now let’s talk about what drunken mistake means.
The same night Alice received a text from Ben and went to the bar, Alex was also in the bar at the same time.
He was drinking and him being a weak drinker he got drunk easily. He realized he was drunk but he refused to stop.
He stood up trying to find his way to the restroom when he saw a girl trying to open a door to.
He walked towards her and helped her open it, his vision was blurry but all he knew was that the girl fell on him and feeling her soft butt on his d*ck it hardened.
He took her to the bed started kissing her, he raped her. Yeah he called it rape because the girl was asleep and he did it without her consent.
He front ashamed of himself when he woke you, the girls face was behind the pillow so she didn’t see her face.
All he knew was that she was wearing a beautiful necklace. If the girl he raped wore the same necklace as the same one he saw on Alice.
Does that mean Alice was the girl and Asher is his son? That can’t be, if it is true then Alice will hate him for the rest of his life.
“Before anything I have to confirm first” he mutter as he stood up from his chair and left the office.

Sharon walked out of her room with a book in her hand, she wanted to read it to Tia.
But she was surprised to see Cole holding the baby, surprisingly she was not crying but sleeping. “Don’t hurt me! She was dozing off when I walked in” he said as he raised one hand and used the other to hold Tia.
” I won’t hurt you and can we please forget about that” she said and he smiled.
” Your hand must be hurting” she said stretching her hand to carry Tia.
“You are right she has gained weight” he said as she collected the baby. ” I will just take her to her room” she said before walking to Tia’s room.
Cole used the opportunity to install a camera in the living room, such that it will capture the whole room.
Surprisingly until he was done Sharon didn’t come out of the room. He went to the kitchen and installed one too same at the dining.
He walked out of the kitchen with a glass of juice while Sharon stared at him suspiciously.
“I wanted to wait for you but you were taking too long” he said ” I was thirsty” he raised the glass of juice.
“It’s fine” she said and sat on the chair, he walked closer and took a sit too.
“Cousin in-law how’s marriage life?” He asked and she chuckled.
” It’s good” she replied, “has cousin be romantic? Did he give you breakfast in bed? If he isn’t romantic don’t hesitate to tell me” he said with a funny face and Sharon couldn’t help but laugh
” We are good” she replied, simply. It has actually been different ever since they confessed their feelings to each other.
They no longer argue and Jasper has been doing everything in his power to find the people who murdered her parents.
“I believe you, I know you won’t cover up for him” he said.
” Are you guys talking about me?” Jasper asked as he wheeled
*********
Ben was waiting for Alice in front of the company. Seems like Aiden ordered his securities not to let him in.
Ben was there to apologise and asked them to go back to the way they were before the incident. He wants to let go of the past and have her all to himself.
He didn’t have to wait for long because Alice walked out of the company with her bag in arm.
She stopped few feets from him and glared at him before walking past him. “Alice! Alice!!” He called running after her.
“Wait, please hear me out!” He pleaded but she refused to stop. What is it he has to say? Why won’t he just let her be?.
“Alice I’m begging you please listen to me” he begged as he held her arm.
She released herself from his tight grip and glared at him, “what the fuck do you want? I told, I don’t want you to show your face to me ever again!” She snapped
” Alice I know I was harsh with my words but now I have realized my mistake, I’m sorry please forgive me” he pleaded.
” Forgive? Do you think your late apology can make things go back to the way they were? Huh?
What do you take me for huh? A pushover? Despite everything you did I forgave you. I blamed myself for everything and decided to forgive you because I loved you.
But I didn’t realize you don’t deserve my forgiveness. You are nothing but an animal!” She spat as tears fall from her eyes.
” What are you talking about? What did I do wrong?” He asked then the thought of Alex telling her about what happened crossed his mind.
“Was it Alex? What did he say?” He demanded. “It’s not Alex so stop bringing Alex into this!” She yell
” Why are you defending him? Do you love him?” He asked.
