CHAPTER 16

It was morning and Alex phone had not stopped ringing,he didn't know what happened but he felt he was getting weaker and tired every passing day.the continuous vibrating of his phone made him pick it up, looking at the screen,he saw more than 60 missed calls from different callers and messages were uncountable.

The first person his mind went to was his wife,but as soon as he tried calling her a message came in,"we are sorry to inform you that the board meeting as been shifted to today due to some unpredicted issues so your attention is needed by 11am",as soon as he was about to read another message,a call came in.

"Good morning sir,I am been trying your number since yesterday",his right hand man Fabian complained,I have a bad news to report,we couldn't find the Mr Carlos lawyer, apparently he wasn't on the plane or maybe he used another alias but we couldn't get a hold of him" Fabian continued.

"It is okay,I know you have never failed any mission before",Alex said maybe someone tipped him off, besides if he is good as people say,then it won't be easy to kidnap him,I just gave it a try.

"Sir,Fabian called out I need to tell you something that is going viral on the internet now, Not now Alex replied,I am already very late for the board meeting,let's us talk later after I become the chairman of the Carlos empire he said,just stay low and wait for my further instructions he said.

Alex dropped his phone,rushed to the bathroom to take his bath,after dressing up he gave Diana a kiss and left the room. It was supposed to be the day for Beatrice burial but Diana said she wanted her mother and brother to have a befitting burial that every important people will be invited,he had to give in to her just this once because she deserved it,she had been in the hidden for a long time co-operating and loving him patiently,after all this he would give her the position she deserved beside him.

When he reached the reception,he could sense that people were looking at him scornfully but he didn't know why,the taxi he ordered for had arrived,so he gave him the office address and the driver drove off.

Diana woke up and started going through her phone,her plan to give her mother and brother a befitting burial was already approved by Alex,soon she was going to be by his side as his wife so it was time she did some shopping,as she was looking for shops with beautiful and expensive clothing's,an headline caught her attention and she clicked on it.

"THE SON-IN-LAW OF THE CARLOS EMPIRE IN A SCANDAL",she looked at the pictures and it was none other than she and Alex, different pictures of them making out we're taking,even the one in a car and them going to different hotels,there were even videos,she picked up her phone and tried calling Alex but his phone was ringing on the bed.

Diana didn't know what to do or who to call,she didn't know any of Alex friends or working partner,even if she did,they couldn't get in touch with him because his phone was at home,she quickly changed into some clothes and tried going out but as soon as she stepped out of her room,she saw reporters coming her way,she ran back inside and locked the door and for the first time in her life,Diana didn't know what to do,she remembered her son at home and quickly called the nanny to take him out of the house and go to a safe place.
