Visit To The Hospital

Alice's Pov

I swear I saw a lit in his eyes with every grasp he took on Grace, at one point I saw his hand clenched with Liam's hand framed on Grace's waist.

“Shall we?“ Liam asked with a warm of his lips on Grace's cheek, then pushed forward leaving behind my tensed husband in name that was lost on their every steps.

It was more of a curiosity, what made him crawled his fist to his pocket when his eyes met mine or how did the sudden changed in mood came in sight of Grace then folded when Liam held his wife?. At that time none of those mattered, what was on plate was the board and getting back my position. His life had nothing to related with me ,I thought.

“We can't have her in the board, we all know of her father's deeds” my presence was greeted by Mr blue suit and dark shades, damn that nigga kept poking on my tail.

“I hate to agree but Mr Bay's right” Mis gorgeous said taking me not by surprise, her first was a shock in my tail but those words , it were a familiar coke. At least I owed her a thank you card for the introduction of his name.

“ And why not?. That's all her dad's deed it had nothing to do with her, she a person of her own.“ Lady Marv said by with little glance at me and Dave,

“Even so, she's still a Black” another said with intense gaze on me, her brows arched to the mount of her face . I watched her fingers deepen in her fresh, aggressing her rage. Well it was expected of her, dad literally got her father out of the board for assaulting an employee which ended in the bin due to his reputed image and bank digits. A year ago everyone was in support of her father and wanted to have the incident buried all in the name of protecting the company but dad was an odd among the votes. He got the police involved and investigated the case.

What's her name again?' my brain scanned through for her name , 'yes'

“Diana”

Mary called out, fronting her crossed legs to her direction. Her plain cat eyes were attraction to her name of using men or most seducing them, she never denied the accused nor took acknowledgement to it. Most she cast faults on the guys that came falling on her toes.

“you're still a Lewis but no one here points at you or labels you as the daughter of a rapist now, do they?“ she spiked out with grinned to Diana's slim hand fisted on the table ,with glares that could gulp Mary's perfect innocence face that no one would take for the devil. Diana's thin jaws bloat to a point I thought they were going to bust out .

“ That's just an accuse, my father was never found guilty of any accuse against him” her husked voice finally sneaked out in rage .

I'm not gonna lie,my lips were on wild fire with every reaction she produced. Guess we all have a devil living in us.

“Yeah right, like we all don't know how he got the innocent verdict” Mary revoked with a dull scoff and eye rolls that sent Diana on her heels. Certain she too was aware of how her dad got away but he was still her father and their bond was that of mine and my dad.

The employee was found dead after she pleaded guilty of framing Mr Lewis in court. By investigation she committed suicide but everyone knew the hidden dust swept under the rug.

“At least my father was proven innocent but I can't say the same for hers”

Oh that was it, I was gonna shove her wild mouth right where it belong.

“She's a Stone, my legal wife not a Black” He caught me by with his words, my angry eyes met his. Even if he was at my defense the manner of which he sketched the words made me feel offended. It felt like he was snatching my rights as a Black or I wasn't relate to the name.

“ She owns a position in the company and there's nothing you or anyone else in this room can do about it “ he stated earning an acknowledgement from few of the many that were present that day. I laid back in audience of his authority being posed on them, which stroke a much suspicious to me. When did he gain access in the black board and how could he speak with few to protest against and even the fee had little to say before being shut by the many. The vote to my stay was a boil water to him, most were in favor.

“ I heard the board didn't hand you the welcome you expected” Samantha tall figure stood my path, “I told you, it won't be easy for you to claim what you have lost and the position that's out of your league” her double eye lines were gathered in while her plum lips crooked to positions.

“Didn't you father tell you?, I own more rights on the company than you. You're talking to the five percent share owner of the Black Empire” Oh I loved it, I loved her face went from sky record to floor record, or her crooked lips straighten on its own with pale looks that soon dropped on her grey heels.

“Ouch, so he hasn't. Guess his services are still needed by my husband. Do you know he's now my favorite servant of my husband” her dark eyes rose in fierce at me, I watched her fingers digged in the black pant that let loose on her ankles.

Damn, it was gorgeous to get her silence and the walk passed her was everything but beautiful to her.

“Bullet” I called , I was paying a visit to dad and since I had no car on my own, he was the best option to reach there on time. His master had said he was at my service .

“Get the car ready, am going to the hospital” I informed to the man that stayed put until his brain flicked to his dare old master.

“What of master?, there's only one car and…”

“Your master can have another car order to pick him. I'm taking this one” I stated granting him no further protest, in relucted will he opened the car door for my entrance then prompt to his steer.

Then ,I prayed no car came to his call and him to strek home , that would have been the best reward for his harsh words.

I couldn't tell what it was actually, but I my brain was sure to have seen Liam shoving Grace's body against her will in the car but again it could have just been my lazy mind trying to get to the hospital on time.

The ride wasn't one to position in smooth. Poor Bullet's hands went jitter on the steer wheel the moment his master voiced husked out in question of where he was and how dare he left without his consent .

Gladly he was saved by my throat that cleared in display of his recognition on the line. His high tone went dead with few words as protect her and bring her home soon.

“Dad” I laid a hand on his cold body that sank in the blue gown. His dark bags had improve, cotton with his weak skin that was detaching the bones. It strange how a bouncy person turns fade in a glimpse of an eye. His manly beard were gone, I was sure mom must have trimmed it off. My lips pace for a flat spread on the thought of how mad he was gonna be on finding his best buds gone.

My heart was restlessness,it needec those moments where dad would haunt the hall for mom's presence all to sneak out, and mom a predator with razor in hands to chop off dad's best buds.

Silly how my voice took me off guard with a loud sneak out.

“ I can only talk to you dad, I really miss you. I miss your scolds, I mis you backing me when mom wants to scold me. I got her angry again,well this time am sure you too would have gotten mad. I got married” my voice broke out in sobs that could barely bridge in my ears.

“Mis are you okay?“ My hands quickly dried the little the mind thought it to be tears. In second his pole figure was in contact with mine.

“You're?“ I asked taking a clear look of his faded night eyes.

“ Dr Lee” he said with a gestured to the right pocket that had his name embroided. Oh right, my brain was too occupied to take notice of the white grown and transparent lens that fixed his looks fir those genius type. “But you can address me as John , that much less formal” he furthered in with a chuckle that soon stroke as awkward to him , with no respond from my arched brows.

“I'm your father's doctor, I presume he's your father, right?“ He was one of those type that feels the need to cheer the mood but just a bit not good at it. Either way his on slip on the floor got the tight lips to loose.

“I meant to do that “ he said rubbing his palms.

“Okay, John right”

“Yes and you're Alice”

The head went tilted on his direction, that was the first to meet him, so I was taken as to how he knew my name.

“Your mom talks about you all the time, she also showed me a photo of you and also complained of you getting marry against her will" okay that was it, he was a chatty box, one if which he himself didn't know of. But mom having a commuted conversation was a shock.

“ That was too much “ he coached himself with a dull slide to the door “I should let you have a private time with your father” and poof, he made a visible disappearance, honestly I liked the awkward humor.

“ It me Sarah, your father's secretary” the voice introduced the second I responded the unknown call. It was paced and shaken with every word spoke, my right hand exchanged weight to the left. With legs on straight I pinned focus on the call.

“ I need your help, they're after me. Protect me and I'll tell you who's behind your dad's attack and frauds framed on him”.
