Chapter 5

'I love you so much Alexia," he said, placed a kiss on her forehead, and made his move to walk away.
Alexia watched as he turned his back.
'I love you," he added and walked out fully.

'Henry..."
She called because she felt the way he tensed up. She knew something was wrong with him like he was terrified of something. Alexia's bag fell from her hands and she watched his retreating figure. Subconsciously, she called his name.
'Henry!"

She ran after him, Alexia saw him as he entered his car without looking back. Tears gently streamed from the corner of her eyes as she saw the car move out of the compound.

Once again she would be alone like a bird, even birds have companies. Alexia gently turned around, still frozen but she didn't want to break down in the presence of her workers.

Almost inside, the high-tech gate opened automatically and a black car drove in. Alexia turned and waited for whoever was in the car.
Once the car parked, the door opened and it turned out to be her father. She sighed, she knew what he wanted.

'Dad…" she called.
The tall and handsome old man dashed to her. Alexia took her father's eye color, hazel. The rest are from her mother and some other ones should be from her grandparents.

'Don't you ever say my name!" He yelled looking very angry. Alexia was confused at this time, she didn't understand what had happened and why he was suddenly angry.

'Did you or did you not cancel Kylie's shares in the company?" He asked, his eyes on her.

Alexia rolled her eyes.
'I bought that shares for Kylie because she was my best friend but now that she betrayed me and is no longer my best friend, I have the right to cancel it," Alexia replied.

ALEXIA P.O.V (Point Of View)

I saw the way my dad's eyes lift, he looked at me as though he would annihilate me on that spot but I didn't get why he was so angry. I am his daughter and kylie did something so bad to me, it almost ruined me but here he was supporting her as though she had done the right thing.

He took two steps closer to me, he pointed to my face and said through gritted teeth,
'If you don't undo what you did to Kylie, I swear I will kill you with my own hands." Having said that, he went back into his car and drove off.

I watched my daddy drive off. Tears sprawled down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them off because I didn't want my workers to see me crying.
Getting inside, I picked up my bag and walked out. Driving to work, the thought of Henry slipped into my head. My life can be really annoying, I know I'm rich. In truth, I am one of the richest women in the world after my mom left all of her parents riches to me.

However, I am blessed with everything except love and care. Everyone keeps leaving me, from my mom to my dad and my best friend to my first boyfriend whom I loved very much. Right now, Henry did the same to me. I know he has some kind of problems but I am his wife and I should be his priority.

I drove into the company's underground parking lot and used the private elevator to get to my grand office. I didn't want to be bombarded by my employees' greetings.

When I reached my office, I sat and stared at the pile of work for the day. It had to do with signing over signing and meetings, fixing my day for meetings. The same boring act every day. Nothing fun happens in my life. I say in front of the table, starting my work for the day but I was interrupted by Regan - my personal assistant who walked in with another set of files in her hands.
She sat them on my table before sitting in front of me. Her face frowned, she kept clicking her mouth and muttering words to herself. I wondered what was bothering her so I paused my work and looked at her.
'Are you okay?" I asked her and she looked at me as though she was not ready to tell me.
'Ma'am, Dylan young is back in town." She announced, annoyed. I turned my head to her, surprised at the announcement. I didn't even know the reason I was surprised, I knew only he traveled and did not plan to live in China.

'Dylan freaking young?!!" I asked, still unsure why I was shocked at his arrival.
'Yes," She rolled her eyes so did I.

Regan had been my personal assistant for years now and she knows almost everything about me so I am not surprised by her reaction.
'Why is he back? I thought he was going to die in that foreign country he went to." I rolled my eyes and then took my face to the files scattered on my table.

'Why do you want me to die?" His voice penetrated my ears. The voice I hated to hear traveled into my ears and brought some sensation to my body.

Regan raised her eyes. She hissed and walked out hauling some of the files I had done, with her.
I feel like Regan was acting more than me, and sincerely, I understand her. Dylan wasn't someone I should welcome in my office at all but what can I do? His father and my grandparents were Business partners and we are automatic Business partners. He even has an office just beside mine.
I curse the day I agreed for his office to be just next to mine, I should have really thought it through but I didn't and now, I have to live with that for the rest of my life. At least until God answers my prayers and he dies.

I watched as he walked closer to me.
