Chapter 4 An Urgent Meeting

"Stop here, I'm getting out."

Alexander, I can't leave you here all alone," Martin said.

"I want to be alone for some time," Alexander said.

But---,

"Please, please, Martin, I won't repeat myself."

"You know we can talk about it and---

" Martin. Get into the car. Start it. Drive."

"Fine, I will do that but please call me, so that I don't get worried."

"Hel,lo Attorney."Mr Alexander Banks, I'm listening."

"I have some changes to make."

"Changes in your----."

"It's confidential, Attorney."

"I'm on my way."

"See you then, bye," Alexander said as he hanged up.

That same day

"Hello, Martin I am sorry if I was rude to you earlier,"

"No worries Alexander, I can imagine what you were going through so---."

"Martin, are we still good friends?" Alexander asked.

"Of course we are Alexander,"

"Thanks for understanding, me Martin."

"About earlier----," Martin said.

"Let's not talk about, it Martin."

"Fine, hope everything is okay now."

"Yeah, what has been tangled up is now untangled," Alexander said as he was relieved.

"Tangled, Untangled, what exactly are you trying to say? I don't get it, Alexander."

"Forget it Martin." he said, "It doesn't matter now, as of now I want you to arrange our company's party, I know that you love doing so that's why I decided to choose you to do so, invite everyone."

"A party! What will we be partying for?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Alexander, you are aware of the problems----."

"Problems? Martin. Where is it written that one with problems should not enjoy him or herself?"

"I don't seem to find a source for such kinda question."

"Good, so-----."

"Consider it as done, Alexander."

"That's the spirit," Alexander said as he hung up on Martin."Taxi," he shouted.

"Where to sir?" asked the taxi driver.

"To the Banks Mansion, the street is 3425 Wakefield Lawns ."

As soon as he arrived at his mansion, he went to meet Harry.

"Harry, Harry," Alexander shouted as he knocked on Harry's door.

"Coming dad," he answered.

"Harry I'm sorry about earlier."

"No worries dad, I already forgot about that and as mom always said----

" Make sure you don't hold that grudge for so long, or else you will get old and old and old," Alexander said.

"Exactly," Harry said.

"I miss Louisa, your mother, Harry," Alexander said.

"I miss her too dad, every day, every month and every year," he said as he shed tears.

"Harry, go on, just cry," Alexander said sadly.

"No dad, I'm grown-up now and these tears are just because of the onions," Harry said.

"So, does this mean that these days you help the maids in chopping the onions?"

"Maybe dad," Harry answered as he chuckled.

"Harry, I want you to know that everything that I'm doing right now, I'm doing it for your well-being," he said.

"I thought so dad and that is how it will always be dad," Harry said.

"Okay, I have an announcement to make, downstairs, I will inform the others, be there," Alexander said as he went downstairs.

"Okay," Harry said.

"Everyone we are having a party tomorrow but one, so prepare yourselves for we will be inviting bigwigs over," he said.

"Father, what's the occasion?" Stanley asked. {Harry's stepbrother}

"I just thought that we needed to celebrate since it has been long with us not doing so," Alexander said.

"Alexander can we talk, just the two of us," Lydia said.

"Sure," Alexander said as he went outside, "So what is this about?"

"Alexander, I'm sorry about earlier, I realized that I shouldn't have said what I said-----."

"If you are sorry, then I forgive you," Alexander said.

"Thank you, Alexander."

"Alright, we should get ready for the big day, just forget about what happened, I'll go and meet the teenagers," Alexander said.

As soon as Alexander left, Lydia's phone began ringing, someone was calling.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Don't tell me that you don't recognize me?"

"Would I have asked?"

"Lydia, use your reasoning capacity."

"How did you know my name, do we both know each other?"

"We do know each other, Lydia or should I say, Lydia Banks."

"Hey, who the hell are you?"

"I'm who I I'm."

"Will you answer my question or not?"

"I'm sorry?"

"I asked,'' Who are you?."

"Lydia, I can't believe that you forgot me that easily but I will give you just a hint."

"Give it Stranger."

"White."

"White" wait---,"

"Yes, the white whom you loved so much."

"Gabriel White, no it can't be."

"Yes it can, Lydia, I'm now free, alive and kicking."

"After all of this time----"

"Yes Lydia, how is White Junior?"

"He is fine, now that you are out, what do you plan to do?"

"Continuing with our plan," said Gabriel, "Hey woman, I hope you didn't forget the reason as to why you got into the Banks Family."

"Mr Gabriel I remember everything but let's first give it some time."

"Lydia my long-gone love, we suffered a lot and if you are not careful we might not get anything on all of the Banks Wealth."

"Never will that happen Gabriel."
