LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 20&21
😢JAYDEN MOORE 😢
Alex was sitter in his office going through some files when the door opened forcefully and Fiona came in with Susan trailing behind her. She had a fierce expression on her face as she stood in front of Alex both looking at each other with some kind of emotions best known to them alone.
“Sir I tried to stop her but she insisted on seeing you” Susan said and Alex waved at her dismissing her immediately.
Fiona sat down immediately Susan left and faced Alex who had a blank look on his face.
“Are you seriously not going to talk to me? Fiona questioned close to tears.
“Who invited you here? Alex asked unbothered about her tears
“Alex wont you at least give me a chance to make things right? I’m trying. I don’t want to stay away from Gem anymore. I can’t stand it. Please, let me come back to the house” Fiona pleaded and Nathan came in immediately stopping Alex from responding to Fiona.
“Umm…. Sir, your meeting starts in the next 10 minutes. The investors are already here. And the model too” Nathan said stylishly looking at Fiona who bent her head to avoid eye contact with whoever that came in.
It feels embarrassing to let a stranger see your weakness.
Alex stood up immediately and walked out without sparing Fiona a glance.
With a new determination, Fiona sat down there waiting for Alex.
She took her time to admire the office and now she sees its beauty and luxury.
Alex’s frame was hanging on the wall and she found his smile cute and alluring.
There is no way she is loosing this man again. Never. She was naïve and gullible in the past. She is now willing to fight for the man she loves no matter what any other person will say.
She walked to the couch and sat down admiring every single thing in the office.
She suddenly noticed a door which she assumed to be a restroom and decided to check it out.
She had barely touched the door knob when someone cleared her throat behind her and she turned to see Susan giving her some kind of look which she totally ignored.
“I was pressed so I wanted to see if it’s a restroom” Fiona explained
“Did I ask for your explanation? Susan replied rudely and Fiona’s mouth formed an ‘O’
She watched as Susan walked to the table and after searching for time, she took a file and left.
“I hope you are not crushing on Alex. He is mine. You are just his secretary. Know your limits” Fiona thought as Susan left.
She remembered where she was going so she turned around and walked to the door again.
She opened the door and walked in to behold a beautiful and cozy room.
It had a single bed, a couch, a side stool and other necessary things.
She walked to the bed and sat down bouncing on it like a kid. She saw a picture frame placed face down on the table and she went to pick it up only for her phone to interrupt her. She took her phone and checked to see it was her mom calling.
📞 Mom. Hi” she said feeling nervous
📞 How far have you gone with the plan?
📞 What plan?
📞 Don’t play dumb with me Fiona. You are there to make Lucas fall in love with you and the get your revenge on Alex.
📞Mom, I don’t think I want to continue with the plan. I still love Alex and he said he is not the one who ki||ed our child. Mom, I want to believe him please” Fiona pleaded.
📞 Have you gone crazy Fiona? Are you listening to the trash you are vomiting? What do you know about Love? You love someone who ki||ed your child?
📞 MOM he said he is innocent.
📞 And you believe him?
📞 Mom, I have to go now. I’m busy” Fiona said and hung up before her mom could reply.
Fiona sighed and dropped her phone on the table. She went back to the bed and laid down closing her eyes immediately. In no distant time, she went into a deep slumber.

Kylan was going through his Instagram page when a message popped in and his eyes widened.
He looked at Donald who was eating and showed him the message.
“You need to call Alex then” Donald said and Kylan nodded
“Things have never been this easy. Now o don’t have to do much” Donald thought
🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶🔶
Alex finished his meeting a little bit late and went back to his office. He scoffed when he didn’t find Fiona there.
“I thought she wanted to make it up to me and she already left” he muttered and Susan came in almost immediately.
“Sir, can I help you with anything?” Susan asked smiling shyly and Alex squeezed his face
“If I need anything I will call you” Alex replied
“Are you sure, sir. I can do anything you want me to do for you. I know that you are tired and I want to be there for you” Susan said coming closer to adjust Alex’s tie and the door opened revealing an angry Evelyn.
Susan stepped away from Alex immediately and started walking out but Evelyn landed a resounding slap on her face immediately she got to her.
“How dare you touch what’s mine? Evelyn asked fuming with anger.
She grabbed Susan’s hair without giving her a chance to answer her question.
Susan grabbed her hair and the two ladies started pulling each other’s hair.
Alex picked up his phone and called the security. He sat back on his chair watching them in silence.
The securities arrived shortly and escorted the two ladies out but not without them protesting.
He stood up to go into his inner room but the ringing of his phone stopped him.
He walked back to his phone and picked it up. It was Kylan calling him.
📞Dude whats up? Kylan asked from his end
📞 I’m good. Any news? Alex asked
📞 Someone contacted me on I.G about what happened that day. He has a video of it.
📞 Yes!! Alex shouted
📞 Do you want me to go deaf? Donald said from the background
📞 Then, I have to come over right now.
📞 What about Gemini? Donald said again and took over the call
📞 Olivia is here. She can take care of him
📞Worry not. We are coming over once we get the video” Donald said
Alex ended the call after speaking to Kylan for few Minutes and checked his time.
‘$h|t’ he cursed under his breath. He picked up his phone and rushed out.
Nathan followed him immediately he left his office.
They both walked to the garage and Nathan entered the drivers seat and Alex entered and the journey to Gemini’s school began.
They arrived at the school and met Gemini already waiting impatiently. Almost everyone has gone home.
Gemini started walking to the car immediately the car stopped. He walked past his father who came down from the car and went to the back seat.
He opened the door and entered without speaking to any of the older men.
Alex glanced at him and entered the car instructing Nathan to drive to the house.
Throughout the drive none of them said a word to the other. It was a total silence.
Gemini was still sulking because his father came to pick him up late and couldn’t even apologize for coming late. He didn’t pick up his call when be called and he showed up very late.
When they arrived at the house, Gemini came down from the car and was about entering the house when another car drove into the compound and Olivia came out from the car.
Gemini ran to her with a smile.
Olivia hugged him and pecked his cheek before disengaging from the hug to greet her brother who wasn’t looking very pleased with her arrival.
His countenance showed it.
“Good evening Mr Alexander Smith” she greeted with a short bow and Alexander looked at her blankly before walking into the house.
Olivia, Gemini and Nathan followed suit.
“why are you here? Alex asked Olivia when they stepped into the house.
Gemini squeezed his face and walked up to his room.
“Is it a crime to visit my big bro? Olivia said with a smile which Alex didn’t return
“So, where is she? Olivia asked looking around the house.
“Where is who? Alex asked
“I heard there is a woman in your house” Olivia said still smiling and Alex sighed before heading to his room without answering Olivia.
“Where is she? She turned to Nathan who gave her a ‘i-don’t know-what-you-are-talking look.
She sighed and went to Gemini’s room.
The young boy was about changing his clothes when Olivia came in and he ran into the bathroom with his clothes in his hands.
Olivia burst into laughter as she found his behavior funny.
“what is he hiding” Olivia thought still laughing
Gemini came out after some minutes and sat down on her bed unable to face Olivia. She nearly saw his nakedness.
“You should learn how to know before entering a guy’s room” Gemini said to Olivia who kept looking at him.
“Who is the guy? Olivia asked
“Me of cos. Am I a girl? Gemini asked with a cute pout and Olivia poked his cheek.
“Gem, what about the lady that was staying here? Why didn’t I see her? Olivia asked getting serious.
“She left. Dad made her leave although I don’t know the full story yet” Gemini said and Olivia looked at him with so many questions running through her mind but she will be asking the wrong person if she decides to ask Gemini.
“Alright. So tell me how your day went” Olivia said picking a story book on Gemini’s reading table.
“My day was boring. I was sad because aunt Fiona promised to come see me and give me lots of fruits but she didn’t fulfill her promise” Gemini said before realizing what he just said.
“Fiona? Who is that? Olivia asked curiously.
“Umm… lets assume I didn’t say that” Gemini replied and laid down.
“But you did. I already heard you so spill the beans” Olivia said coming closer to Gemini who looked at him blankly.
“well, Fiona is the lady that was staying here” he replied.
“Oh! I see. Why is she visiting you tho? Olivia asked.
“Nothing. She just likes me. Please don’t tell dad about it” Gem pleaded and Olivia crossed her heart with her fingers.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
It was around 8pm when a security called Alex asking him if he was still in the office and he said he was at home.
He wondered what could be going on in his office at that time of the day.
The securities told him that he left his office lights on.
He was about leaving his house to go and check his office because he was very sure that he switched off every lights in there before leaving when Donald called and told him that he was coming over to his house with the video.
‘That was very fast. Sometimes it is good to have an extremely extrovert & mafia friend. They makes a lot of difficult things easier’ he thought.
🔷FEW MOMENTS LATER🔷
Donald arrived at Alex’s house with Kylan and they both went inside without any delay. They need to get this over and done with.
Alex was sitting comfortably looking unbothered when they came in.
“You don’t look bothered at all. You look like you already know who your enemy is and just looking for an evidence against the person” Kylan said before sitting down beside Alex.
“Why should I bother when I have you who knows everyone in San Francisco and then Donald, the one man mafia who gets anything he wants with just a snap of his fingers. But this was faster than I imagined” Alex said.
Donald only smiled and opened his laptop.
They sat together and watched with keen interest. The video started from when Alex was brought into the abandoned warehouse. Including the video from the hospital.
“Pause the video please” Olivia said from behind them.
They were so invested in the video that they didn’t know when she came to stand behind them. They all turned to look at her and Donald paused the video where a boy was carrying Fiona’s baby.
“Zoom in the boy’s face please” she said and Donald zoomed the boy’s face and Olivia palmed her mouth.
“What is it? Alex asked looking at her shocked expression
“Do you know him? Kylan asked
“Yes. His name is Jayden Moore” Olivia said
“Jayden Moore. Sounds familiar” Alex muttered.
