Chapter 99

ALEXIA:

Dylan met my dad, he was so happy to meet my daddy and they got along so well. I sat in the living room while my dad and Dylan talked to each other in the kitchen and preparing food for me.

I was busy chatting with Brendax when he gave me a shocking news. I exclaimed, almost dropping my phone before I rushed to the kitchen.

'Brendax wants to propose to Rayden!" I exclaimed.

'Seriously?! Wait, they have been dating?!" Dylan looked confused.

'Yeah." I replied still texting on my phone.

'I see, no wonder he talks about Rayden all the time. This guys goes eat in her restaurant everyday!" Dylan looked at my dad.

'Do we have to be there?" Dad asked.

I shook my head.
'He said she could say no so he would rather hear it alone and cry through it alone!" I laughed and showed both Dylan and dad who laughed.

'What a sensible man!" Dad exclaimed and faced his cooking.

It was almost evening when Brendax texted again, he gave me the good news.
Rayden said yes!

I shouted. Dad and Dylan looked at me until they registered what I had said, they stood up and rejoiced with me as well.

Almost immediately, my phone rang, It was Clarissa.
'Rayden said yes!!"
'Rayden said Yes!!" We chorused simultaneously then burst out in laughter.

'I am so happy!" I shouted.

'Me too."

'What about you and Alexander?" I asked.

'Can you not talk about Alexander right now? Alexander and I doesn't have anything together, he nothing but a friend." Her voice betrayed her when it cracked.

'What's wrong?" I asked leaving dad and Dylan.

'He... Alexander is merged to one rich girl. I am not rich so I am nothing but I fling to him. Alexander is not Dylan, he would never fight for me." Clarissa sounded broken.

I pitied her quickly, wanting to wrap her in my arms. Clarissa was my bestest friend so I felt bad when she talked about her problem.

'Just don't talk about him anymore, pls." She added sadly.

Few Days Later:

Dylan and I had started to live together in his house. I didn't want to be alone anymore and Dylan didn't want me out of his sight, he had to duel with my dad to get me to stay with him.

Playing soccer, my phone suddenly rang. I subconsciously picked it up and placed it to my ear, not looking at the caller ID until the voice sounded.

'I'm Dying, Alexia!" his voice sounded crooked.

Dylan looked at me.
'Who is that?" he asked.

'Come with me, Dylan," I replied.

Dylan picked his keys and followed me quickly. We got to the Sky hospital written in the address that was sent to me. I rushed to the ward in the address as well and when I reached there, I saw Derrick laying on the bed with different things in his mouth and nose.

The doctor who was attending to him saw us and told us to come in fully.
'What's wrong with him?" I asked.

' Mr Derrick had less than seventy hours to live. From the tests, it showed that he had been poisoned but it's not that kind of poison we know. This kind is a slow one, it slowly eats the skin; it would take years before the effect shows completely." The doctor explained.

After checking the drips and some other things, he left.

Derrick opened his eyes quick, his hazel eyes were no blood shot. I looked at him with so much hatred, hoping I could strangle him.

' Why did you call me? After you joined with Kylie to ruin my life, you had the nerves to still call me now that you are in a problem?"

Coughing, he tried to speak.
'Alexia... You are not my biological dau..."

' I know, save your breathe." I scoffed and looked away from him.

' When your mom told me about the pregnancy, I accepted to marry her anyways because of her money. However, when she gave birth to you, she prioritized you more than me. I got so annoyed and started to treat her badly. I even threatened to kill you and her if she ever divorces me or runs away. After her death, I realised she only gave me ten percent of her wealth and that made me so angry so I started to treat you badly. I only married Kylie to piss you off, sincerely. However, I didn't realise Kylie had been poisoning me since the day we got married. I came to the hospital for a check up and realised I only have seventy hour to live.
Alexia.. Please forgive me." He coughed, tears gently rolled down my cheeks.

I felt so irritated. I thought I would pity him if I came but I didn't, he only disgusted me more. Forgive him? For all he did to me?! No, I can't. I am not as strong as that!

I rushed out of the ward, as I walked out, I caught the smell of drugs and it made me nauseous. I ran to the nearest bathroom and vomited all the contents in my stomach. After I was done, I watched my face.

I felt dizzy and my stomach pained me a little. I looked at myself in the mirror knowing I have been feeling this for days now. I knew what was going on but I didn't want to admit it to myself.
It's the only reason I haven't gone for a check up, I knew what to expect.

Tears gathered in my eyes.
'This is the third time you are throwing up today!" His voice sounds behind me.

I turned and looked at him. He walked closer to me and my heart pounded faster. He knows?

'Yes, I know. Your dad also talked to me about it. He suspected that you are pregnant and that unknown man could be responsible so he wanted to be sure I was okay with it. I answered without hesitating Alexia, I would treat that baby like mine no matter what!" he assured me

Tears gathered in my eyes, I wrapped my hands around him. I was so lucky to have him around me, he has to be the greatest gift the world gave me.

'Alexia, you have to come back in there, he had something important to say to you."

I nodded my head and went back to Derrick's ward. He was still crying but I didn't pity him at all.

'Kylie planned everything but I can testify against her if you want to sue her to caught. I also have some evidences to show that the did it. She was the one that purchased the viagra and sedative pills. She also paid the man huge sum of amount, I have the account details, everything can be used against her!"

' No, Kylie should suffer first for all she did to me. I will not allow her to be free like this!" I uttered through gritted teeth. I want her to suffer so much and cry like she made me cry.

'Alexia, Kylie will suffer. Let's take Derrick's clip first so we can use it against her later." Dylan informed. I nodded my head then he made a video of Derrick talking about Kylie and her evil plans.

After this, Dylan and I left the hospital. I was so excited because my name would be cleared and I would get back my mom's company and retain my position as the C.E.O.

Getting home, I met my dad in the living room but something else was wrong.
'Dad, did you do that?!" I exclaimed and he gently nodded his head.
