At this rate, he is afraid he might pass out due to the multiple suprise he has received. Mr Anonymous couldn’t help but smile as he watched the frozen expression on Ben’s face.
Yes! That serves him right. He is gonna make sure Ben pays for what he had done to him back then.
“A… Alex! You have changed!,” Ben asked incredulously. He couldn’t believe this was the same nerdy guy he almost bul.lied to de.ath back then.
Let me explain. Back then, when Ben fell in love with Alice. Do you all remember Alice? The lady Ben mentioned that day. The one Sharon allegedly did something to. Even I don’t know what she did.
So when Ben fell in love with Alice, he was quick to notice that he is not the only one in love with her. I mean, which guy won’t trip for Alice innocent but eye-catching beauty.
Alice was a very beautiful blonde. One of the best cheerleaders in school back then. She was smart, gorgeous, charming and simply captivating. What more? Yes, she was also down to earth.
Meaning she was humble, nice and simply kindhearted. So Alex was this nerdy guy back then. You know, school geeks? The one that always wear big, huge and ugly glasses.
He had blemishes on his face. He always appeared nervous and usually shy away from the crowd but that didn’t stop him from falling for Alice beauty.
Alice was just too beautiful. His heart still aches whenever he thinks of her. So… It didn’t take long for Ben to notice that Alex always watched Alice from afar. He always stayed away at a considerable distance but all the same, his aim was still to watch Alice.
Ben had actually laughed over the fact that a nerd is love with a popular kid. By then, he and Alice had gone official. Like they were already dating.
So, he mentioned it to Alice and being the kindhearted person she was, she simply felt sad over the fact that Alex was actually in love with her and she wouldn’t be able to reciprocate.
BEAUTY WITHIN : EPISODE 21 – 40
The next day, according to Alice, she had confronted him about his feelings and made him know that she would never be able to reciprocate his feelings. From then on, Ben didn’t know how or when it happened but Alice and Alex became friends.
Friends to the extent that she wouldn’t stop gushing over him. Any small thing, Alex this, Alex that. His ears were begining to hurt from hearing only Alex’s name. He seriously started to feel scared that Alice was gradually falling for Alex.
He couldn’t let that happen… So that’s how the bully started. He did every possible thing to threaten the guy but he was just too damn stubborn.
The last straw that broke the camel’s back was when Ben sent men to raid Alex’s house. He is from a very poor family and his only family is his old, single mother.
A fig.ht occurred and one of his men mistakenly pushed Alex’s mom off the building. Hmm! Mistake indeed. Wicked soul.
The poor old woman was rushed to the hospital but didn’t survive the fall. Since then no one knew anything about Alex. He suddenly disappeared. No one knew his whereabouts.
Alice was really sad back then but she eventually forgot about him. Ben’s hands balled into fists as he thought about the fact that he would have been with his sweet Alice now if it wasn’t because of Sharon’s evil scheme.
Hmm… Now I’m curious about what Sharon did to this dimwit. “Are you sure he doesn’t need to visit the asylum? It’s a place for mad people like him. He is behaving weirdly now,” Alex said as he pointed at Ben.
His words brought Ben out of his reverie. Ben’s subordinate couldn’t help but frown. ‘ Why is this man so rude? How dare he talk to the boss like this? If he is here for a contract, I bet the boss won’t give him with the way he acted just now,’ this were the thoughts running through the subordinate’s mind as he glared at Alex.
Ben frowned and stared at Alex smile. He couldn’t help but feel stun again. If he had met this demi god outside, he wouldn’t have known it’s actually Alex if it wasn’t for his face that hasn’t even changed one bit.
How can that ugly, nerdy guy turn out to be so handsome like this? Alex smirked and brought out his hand for a handshake,“It is nice to meet you once again? My co-owner.”
Ben didn’t take the handshake as his eyes widened in realization as soon as he heard Alex’s last words. He looked at the smug smile on his face and couldn’t close his mouth. So this is the idi®t that bought half of the company shares.
What is the ba$tard here for now? Is he here to gloat about his victory? “Well, if you don’t know. I’m here for an offer. I want the company’s remaining shares,” Alex stated coldly.
Ben almost pun¢hed him. The nerves of this ba$tard irks him alot.

“Dad, is aunt Sharon awake?,” Jimmy asked as he walked into the room stealthily. He is trying his best to talk quietly so he won’t wake her up. Just in case she is still sleeping.
Sharon couldn’t help but smile. He actually called her aunt without any hassle. Jasper looked at Sharon and was just about to say no when Sharon glared at him. He immediately swallowed his words.
Fk, how is she able to affect him like this? Well, dear hubby Jasper, this is the power of a future wifey. I can’t wait to see you two married. Hmm…. Should I hasten the wedding preparations?
“Yes, why do you ask?,” Jasper replied and Jimmy walked towards him with a crestfallen look.
“I wanted to apologise to her.” Sharon was still wondering why he wants to apologise when he continued talking,“I shouldn’t have locked her in the bathroom. I will never do it again.”
Sharon’s eyes widened on the bed. This stinky little brat. He was actually the one that locked her up. Jasper looked at Sharon’s expression and decided to get back at her for glaring at him.
“Jimmy, I’m sure your aunt Sharon will forgive you. She is so loving, sweet and kindhearted,” Jasper said and Sharon narrowed her eyes at him.
This ba$tard! What forgive? She will surely teach the little brat a lesson and teach his annoying father a lesson too.
“Thank God you know you owe me an apology,” Sharon spoke as she sat up on the bed. Jimmy froze as he stared at her. Then he turned to glare at his father with an expression that clearly says, DAD-AS-OLD-AS-YOU-ARE, YOU-STILL-DARE-TO-LIE-TO-ME.
Jasper stared back at him with a helpless look that says, SON-BLAME-YOUR-FUTURE-MUMMY.
“I’m gonna teach you a little lesson on how to respect your future mummy,” Sharon said and Jimmy looked completely stunned. The next he did suprised them.
He screamed so loudly that Lena came rushing into the room with baby Tia. Everyone looked at him. “Aunt Lena! My father has done it! I’m getting another little devil like Tia!,” he cried out and Lena looked stunned.
Jasper glared at him. This little brat. What nonsense is he spouting? He doesn’t know that the reason why Jimmy said this is because Sharon mentioned the word mummy. To him, mummy means another baby. That means Sharon is pregnant for his dad.
Lena looked at Jimmy then at Jasper before asking,“Brother, what is Jimmy saying? Is there really a nine months package in Sharon? Brother, you didn’t even waste any time. Tia is still so young.”
Sharon and Jasper looked at them. What are these two saying? “Another little d’vil!!! Now the babies wail will almost bring down the house. Two little d’vils!,” Jimmy continued crying.
Jasper looked at Sharon with knowing smile. It clearly means,“You started this. Now solve it.”

“So, you are Janiece?,” Aiden asked as he stared at the file in front of him. He then looked up at the kind secretary that had helped him home that night when he was drunk.
She is actually prettier and younger than he expected. He smiled at how she nodded, scrunching her nose cutely. He stared at her file and noticed something. So he asked her,“It says here that your first name is Alice. Why don’t you use Alice instead of Janiece? It’s actually a pretty name also.”
Janiece smiled and replied,“I just love Janiece instead.” Aiden nodded. He couldn’t see the pale expression on her face and how her fingers tightened on the edge of her skirt.
She would never use that cursed name again. The name that had brought her so much pain. Pain and many sleepless nights of tears. Hmm… Are you thinking what I’m thinking?.
