'Thanks for driving me," she told him and he shook his head.
'I am happy to be of help," He replied and waved before entering the car and driving out of the place, Sapphire stared at the car until it wasn't there anymore before turning to look at Alexander who was still standing at the door.
She exhaled and moved towards him in a light step and the man's eyes were on her till she stopped right in front of him.
'Ask your questions, Alexander. I know you want to talk about some things," Sapphire said but the man only moved closer to her and hugged her.
'We have a lot to talk about but we wouldn't be doing that right now and right here. I have a lot of things I have to say to you, most of them were explanations and the others were questions.
But , I feel like I have no right to ask or tell you anything until I resolve this issue with Sheila. I have an appointment with her today, Sapphire and I would tell her off, I am not sure how it would turn out though but whichever way it does, you are not going to be leaving me and the kids," he answered before moving back just a bit, enough to be closer to her when he peck her forehead.
'Wait for me, I will be right by your side when I finish solving the issue," he added before taking her to the door. 'Now enter the house and don't stay too long outside, it is bad for your health."

'I knew that you would be right here," Claire heard behind her and she turned away from the masterpiece she was staring at.
Staring at art usually makes her calm and tone down her worries a bit.
She stared blankly at Matthew who was standing there with his hand in his pocket and a sheepish smile on his face.
'I came here to see you," He said and she rolled her eyes at him.
'What do you want, Matthew?" She asked him with an even voice and he itched the back of his hair with his right hand.
'I want to apologize for what I did," He replied.
'Save it, Matthew. I don't want to hear about all the truths she had told me again, I would appreciate it if you get out of my sight. Don't ruin my day please," she told him and started walking away but he quickly moved forward to stop her, he held her by her hand and stared at her face with a desperate and sad face.
'I am so sorry, Claire," he quickly said. 'I am very sorry about all that nonsense I did and I said to you."
'So now that you said sorry, am I supposed to be all smiles and laughter because the almighty Matthew Conrad feels sorry for what he did."
'I have no excuse for what I did.it was a pretty shitty thing to do. I mean, I could have told you about it in another way."
'No shit. You are just realizing that little fact?" She asked, sarcastically. 'Leave me alone Matthew, I have more interesting things to do than listening to you."
She yanked her hand away from his and walked away while he stared at her disappearing figure with a frown on his face.

'I am telling you for the second time, Alexander. I have no memory of why I had to move my kids around in hope that I could use them for blackmail.
When I first woke up, I had no memory of who I was, the only name I remembered was Alexander which was definitely not mine because I am not a guy, I am sure that I would have been called that if I was.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure who on earth Alexander is and that's when I remembered that I had kids, I don't remember Alexander's face and I don't remember the kids names so it didn't make any sense to me.
I dedicated a lot of time into trying to remember my memories which paid off even though there were some bit and pieces that I don't remember, like the questions you just asked me," Shirley answered in an exasperated voice, staring at Alexander who was sitting opposite her with a blank expression, they were in a five star restaurant and even though everything is lit, Alexander still stood out.
It was almost like she was talking to a blank canvas or an automated robot because he kept asking his own questions and did not care about the answer she was giving him.
'Of course, you won't be able to remember the kids name because you gave them no name to begin with," he told her and she paused.
'Wait, what? I didn't give the kids any name? What the hell? Then why are they Andrea and Andrew?"
'They are answering to that because that is the name Sapphire gave them when she found them, it happens to be in line with the Aldines' family name rule."
'Alexander, you see? All my memories are jumbled up."
'I thought you sorted it out in the past three years, are you going back on your words now?"
'It is not all solved obviously, but I know that I love you with all my heart, with every breath I take. I fucked up and did some pretty bad things but you should try to forgive me, I am sure that I am afraid of something, that's why I did that.
You should have seen how thrilled I was when I remembered who you were and what relationship we had with each other, it was like I could finally breathe again," she said to him with a smile.
'And what has all that nonsense had to do with me?" He asked and she felt her smile drop.
Was this man even human? How could he shut her down like that?
'Let's get back together, Alexander," she said and he scoffed in disbelief.
'Your level of delusion is out of this world. Why would I leave Sapphire and come to you? Were you deaf when I told you that she is my wife or you were blind when you did your research and saw that she is my wife, it must be either of two, if it is none, then you should look up some good psychiatrist to talk to," he replied.
Shirley stared at him with a grim expression and grounded her teeth in disbelief, was the man calling her crazy?
'Just have no intention of leaving your wife," she said, disdain filled in her voice when she said the last words. 'I have no intention of leaving my kids with that bitch."
'You should watch your tone Shirley, you don't want me to cause a problem for you do, do you?" He asked with angry eyes, glaring at her and she swallowed the lump in her throat.she shouldn't make Alexander angry, he could be as ruthless as fuck too. 'That woman is the one that makes you able to sit at this table and talk about kids in the first place.she saved them from possible death and probability of being on the street, you should go down on your knees and thank her for that.,"
'I have no intention of leaving my kids with her, they are mine, I gave birth to them and I have the right to be part of their life," she argued.
'Too bad, they don't want you to be part of their life. Before you start laying your claims, you should bring something tangible that connects you to them as their mother, not some DNA test that screams positive because you share the same gene ." Alexander said and stood up from the chair. 'Knowing the kids, they would probably cuss you out when they see you and then insult you when you try to claim to be their mom, good luck with that too. But for the time being," He bent over the chair and stared straight into her eyes, Shirley stared back up at her too.
'Come anywhere near my family and you are a dead man," he threatened and proceeded to walk out of the cafe while Shirley scoffed in disbelief.
