A few days later...
Phone ringing.
📞Hello
📞Hello my dear"
📞Please who is this? Irys asked
📞This is Alicia, Kingsley's mom.
📞Oh my God. Sorry ma'am I didn't know it was you.
📞It's fine my dear. How are you?
📞I'm great.
📞Good. I would like to see you before I leave town. Do you think that's possible? She asked.
📞Sure, ma'am. Just let me know when to meet with you.
📞Great. I'll text you the address.
📞Alright, ma.
📞Thank you. Take care.
Call ended.
"The game has just begun" Alicia smirked.
*phone beeps*
Tomorrow 10 am. Old Amazon Villa, house 10.
Irys was beyond happy when she received the text and call. She dashed to her wardrobe to see what would fit for such an outing.
The following day, she arrived at the villa wearing beautiful white palazzo trousers with a sexy blue crop top revealing her stomach and back. Her hair is packed in a bridal form with pronounced makeup and white heels. looking like a real model.
"You're welcome my baby" Alicia welcomed her with a hug.
Thank you, ma'am
You're welcome, my dear. Please have a seat.
What do I offer you?
"Anything is fine" she answered politely.
Alright. I'll be right back.
Alicia is always looking beautiful and Ageless even without makeup. She doesn't look like someone who has two grown-ups, adults. She would pass for a 30years old and Kingsley's twin sister while in a real sense she's 59years old. You could say Douglas fell for her beauty. She got married at a very tender age of 20 years old.
The 28years old Douglas then met Alicia at a family function. Alicia happens to be the daughter of his father's friend. You can say it was love at first sight for Douglas. Alicia had just returned from Canada after her Degree.
They both fell in love and got married 6 months after. It was the happiest day of their lives as they were joined as man and wife. They lived a luxurious life because Douglas as of then already had businesses under his name and so much more aside from what he inherited from his father who was also a billionaire.
"Here you go my dear" She gave her a glass and filled it with a just-opened bottle of wine.
Thank you ma.
"Don't mention" she smiled.
A minute later,
So how is your mother? She asked.
She's fine, thank you.
Alright. I came over the other day and I learned you moved out of the house some time ago.
Yes, ma. I moved out when I got my new job.
"I understand. You also need your privacy as an adult" She said and they both smiled.
"I never knew you were this young. I mean I never hear your son talk about you even when I ask" She said.
Alicia smiled.
"Uhmmm, I have crazy sons" She smiled while Irys just sipped from her drink.
So tell me, since when have you two been together? Alicia asked.
For three years.
Oh wow. That's lovely.
Irys smiled happily.
And how is it going?
Irys was hesitant not knowing what to say.
"Feel free to talk to me, my dear. You're my daughter now" She gave a charming smile.
"Okay. We've been great but recently he has been acting all strange" she complained.
And why is that?
"It all started ever since he employed his new Assistant. He barely has time for me anymore and he now yells at me for every little thing" she complained.
"Hmmmmm, I see" Alicia sighed.
And who is this new assistant of his? Alicia asked.
"The lady you met in his office the other day," Irys said.
Okay.
Do you love my son? She suddenly asked after a brief silence.
"Of course mom. I love him so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with him" she gave a pitiful face.
"Alright then. I will help you get him on track" She said confidently
Really? She asked with eagerness.
"Yes, I will but you have to in return do me a favor" she gave a wicked grin.
"Anything ma. I will do it" she said.
Good.
....
Irys left Alicia's Villa with contentment and so much gladness in her heart. "I will be Mrs. Kingsley Douglas no matter what," she said to herself as she drove out of the premises.
"Now let's see how you both is going to stop me from becoming the sole owner of THE DOUGLAS EMPIRE" She scoffed and emptied the whole glass of wine in her throat.

Kingsley was home relaxing when his phone buzzed.
📞 Hello
📞 Hello, is this Mr, Kingsley Douglas?
📞 Yes. Speaking?
📞 That's not important. What's important is the message I have for you. You will receive a message shortly through this line and i'm sure you would want to track me down but I want you to know that that will be fruitless. Bye for now.
Call ended.
In a few seconds, a message dropped on his phone and he reluctantly clicked on it.
WHAT????? He yelled

Dickson was home relaxing on Saturday night when he saw from his camera the person at the door and he walked to the door with a straight face.
*Door opens*
Why are you here?
Not happy to see me or just pretending?
