Twisted Fate

That evening, Alex went to Foster’s Castle. He was invited for a family dinner by his grandparents.

When he arrived, he found Alice and her husband Jim were there already. He said words of greetings to his grandparents and glanced at Alice.

Jim wanted to say hello but Alex interrupted him “Haven’t you all been waiting for me?”he asked, smiling.

Alice fisted her palm. She gritted her teeth and gently tapped on Jim to calm him down.

She still doesn’t know why Alex disliked her husband so much. Jim has been an instrumental support to her and through thin and thick, he was always by her side.

But Alex just embarrassed him. She wasn’t going to let her brother humiliate her husband anymore, not when she’s around.

The whole family set down to have dinner but Alex’s eyes didn’t stop darting glances at Jim.

He can see that his smile was a sinister one. He looked very insincere to her. But there’s no one in his family that is seeing him in that line.

When Jim stared at Alex, his smile would disappear and they would glance at each other in hostility. They both are acting like enemies.

Midway through their meal, Jim’s phone chirped. He smiled at everyone and excused himself.

He was hardly out of sight when Alex also stood up, holding his phone as if he was going to make a call, and went in the same direction that Jim went.

Alice didn’t feel comfortable with it. She glanced at the direction her husband and brother went and wanted to stand up and go after them.

Her grandma held her wrist and told her to sit down. She shouldn’t be standing up Midway through dinner when she doesn’t have an important call to attend to.

Alice sighed and sat down with a smile. She glanced at her grandfather and saw him smile at her.

Alice felt a little relieved and smiled back, returning back to her dinner. She knew if the two had an argument, it was going to be a heated one.

“… I will lay my hands on the document soon..” Jim was saying when he perceived someone was behind him. He glanced back abruptly and saw Alex’s eyes, filled with rage.

“I will talk to you later, I want to attend to a business” Jim concluded and hung up. He placed his phone in his pants pocket and glared at Alex.

Alex heard the last sentence he made. He talked about a document. What exactly does he want by being at Alice’s side?

“Why do I feel you are stalking me, Alex Foster?” Jim asked, glaring at Alex with resentment and arrogance.

He walked closer and stood before Alex at such a close proximity that their noses almost touched each other.

“What exactly do you want by being at my sister’s side?” Alex asked, remaining calm and ignoring the fellow who appeared to want to merge into him.

“Why do you think I am with Alice for a purpose?” Jim asked, feeling intimidated by Alex’s question.

If he knows, that is good for him. But if he doesn’t, he cares less about it. At the point he was at the moment, even if Charlotte Foster, Alice’s mother resurrects from the dead, she cannot convince Alice otherwise.

“I have my eyes on you, Jim. And tell your boss I am going to hunt you both down. That is my word to you.

And don’t make the mistake of hurting Alice and her daughter. Whatever you think you want to get from her, I am going to be the obstacle on your way..”Alex warned.

Jim gave a wicked grin. Alex Foster is smart, but he came late. He had won over Alice’s heart that she could not be dissuaded.

“It’s late already Alex. I will tell you something you don’t know. I am at Alice’s side, to suck all the good in her and throw her off like a flea.

And at this point, I have won her heart and she loves me more than life itself. Nothing you said will make any sense to her, that’s my own word to you” Jim triumphantly declared.

Alex chuckled softly. It’s good that he opened up flippantly. He will protect his sister and ensure that this rascal gets exposed.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“You won’t succeed. Just know that my eyes are on you”Alex Foster declared and turned to go.

“You can keep your eyes on me while I keep mine on my goals. Looks like all of the Foster family are stupid and not only Alice…” Jim arrogantly said with a loud chuckle.

Alex’s fury had gotten to the climax as he turned back abruptly. Within the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee, his hands were swift and Jim went swirling in the air.

He felt his head hit against the wall before he fell down. He couldn’t even raise himself off the floor as his eyes sparkled with stars and his head seemed like it was shattered into pieces.

Edmundo Foster and his wife heard the sound of an object falling to the ground and stood up quickly, making their way towards the direction of the sound.

Alice was faster and overtook them. She walked into the scene where she saw Alex, pulling Jim up by his collar and dazed him with another blow on the face.

This time, Jim’s complexion had gone reddened. His eyes went black and all he could see was darkness.

“Alex!” Alice came over and pushed her brother away. She rushed forward to her husband and helped him back on his feet, pulling him into an embrace.
