Chapter 112
It was morning and Alfred’s sound sleep was disrupted by the sound of his phone call. He groaned softly as he picked up his phone wondering who would be calling him by this time of the morning.
He answered the phone call and a soft tender voice echoed from the other side of the phone.
“Alfred” the voice trembled as she sniffed. He didn’t recognize the voice. He removed the phone from his ear and stared at his screen, trying to figure out who owns the phone number.
He put the phone back in his ear.
“Who is this please?” Alfred managed to say
“It’s me, flora” her voice trembled.
“Oh shit!! What do you want? Flora I told you not to call my number again. Fuck off ” Alfred said almost yelling.
“Alfred please, you can’t just end the relationship like that” flora said as she cried
“What relationship flora? We just spent two nights together and you call that relationship? Flora whatever happened between us was nice but I hate to say this, it’s all ended now, and please do not call this number again except you want death” Alfred said and with that, he ended the call.
Flora is just a random girl Alfred picked from the club he had gone to 3 days ago. He got drunk and brought her home and they both consummated. It happened twice and after then Alfred paid her a large sum of money to fucking stay away from her.
But it seems the girl is just so stubborn and wouldn’t stop calling him. So pathetic, Alfred thought as he managed to sit properly on the bed. He felt a sharp pain in his head.
He groaned softly. He had gotten drunk last night in his study room and the last thing he remembered was passing out after throwing up. He wondered how he got up to his room. He was so fucking sure it was Andrew’s.
He sighed softly. He hated to admit it, whatever he was doing, whoring around and drinking, it was all to get the thoughts of Lisa out of his head. But the memories of all the things he’s done to her keep coming back and he swears on his life he regrets everything he’s done to her.
He regretted hurting her in the first place and was ready to make amendments. He was ready to do anything to correct the mistakes he’s made, till she got missing. He just wished Lisa would come back to him but there was no coming back.
“Maybe Andrew was right, after all, Lisa was never coming back. It’s high time he gets over Lisa and moves on because she’s dead and never coming back” he thought to himself. It was so hard for him to accept the truth but he had no option but to. Even though he tries to move on, the fact that he hurt Lisa will always taunt him for the rest of his life.
He just wished Lisa wasn’t dead and was by his side with their kids. He just wished but they were nothing but mere wishes because he believes Lisa is gone.
He exhaled deeply. The truth hurts him a lot. He managed to stand up from the bed. It’s high time he stops drinking and whoring around. It’s not going to bring Lisa back. He should better accept the truth and move on. Today is a new day, he thought as he walked inside the bathroom.
He took his bath and walked out of the bathroom with his towel tied around his waist. He walked towards his wardrobe and brought out his suit.
After getting dressed, he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He took his hair and brushed his hair backward.
“A new day and a new beginning, ” he said to himself as he wore his perfume, took his briefcase, and walked out of his room.
“Good morning sir” the maid Andrew had employed, whose name is Angela, greeted and Alfred hummed.
“Is breakfast ready?” Alfred asked as he walked towards the dining table
“Yes sir, ” the maid said as he stared at Alfred in shock. This was the first time since she got employed here that Alfred had asked her about food and here he was sitting at the dining waiting for her to serve him.
“He wondered what happened to him or maybe this wasn’t Alfred, this was someone else,” the maid thought
Just then Andrew is seen climbing down the stairs and he caught a glimpse of Alfred eating at the dining table. At first, he was shocked. For the first time in how many years Alfred was eating at home. This felt like a dream to Andrew. He needed to make sure it was Alfred.
“Alfred” Andrew called as he sat close to him at the dining table. Alfred who was done eating raised his head and stared at him. Andrew smiled at him.
“What happened? I’m surprised to……”
“It’s a new day Andrew and a new beginning for everyone, ” Alfred said as he stood up. Andrew hummed.
“Are you going to the company?” Andrew asked
“Yeah. You should meet me at the company before 1 is. I’ll be visiting the orphanage home today” Alfred said and with that, he walked out of the house.
He wanted to make amendments in any way he could. He had planned on visiting the orphanage home today and after then he is going to visit the church. He just hoped even in death or anywhere, Lisa would forgive him for what he did to her.
After Alfred had left Andrew sat at the dining table looking lost. He wondered what was wrong with Alfred. He made the statement. A new day and a new beginning. And worst of all he was going to visit the orphanage home today. That’s unlike Alfred or maybe he’s trying to recover from Lisa, Andrew thought.
He hated the fact that Alfred was back to himself again. He felt so angry. He had planned on taking him down and taking over everything he has but now he’s on his feet again it will be so difficult to do so.
“Shit!! Everything is fucked up” he groaned as he slammed his hands against the dining table.
He still is going to carry his plans out anyway, even if it takes years so for now he’s going to lay low and act normal, he thought to himself.
“Sir, are you alright?” The maid who heard noises from the dinning asked as she served him breakfast.
“Yes I’m okay ” Andrew smiled at her. The maid stared at him weirdly. That smile on his face was definitely a wicked one but then she quickly waved off the thoughts. Maybe she was the one over thinking things, she thought.
