Tangled Web of Love (On hold)

Alex

SO ALEX, I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM FROM THE MOMENT I STARTED WRITING ABOUT HIM. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM.

Chapter 2

Alexander Christopher did not feel up to staying and working in his office anymore and he sure as hell didn’t feel like going home to an empty house. He was hoping a change of scenery might help him to solve the problem he was having with developing a formula to prove his theory that DNA tampering will do more harm than good. Alex thought that, if scientist don’t respect that God never wanted man and animal to mate with each other, the results of their test will be catastrophic.

He knew if he got the formula right it would be a big find for his company, and in turn making him millions in the process. Being one of the most sought after scientist in the world, a world renowned and an award winning lecturer on Genetic mutation and DNA tampering. Alex was not in it for the money more so the science.

At age 35 he had more money than he would be about to spend in two lifetime. From a young age Alex has been fascinated with science. He graduated top of his class throughout his school and university years with an IQ of 195. Alex made his first few millions in high school, where he founded his company, AC Geno Tec. Alex was not a self-made billionaire by any means. He came from money, very old money.

Both his parents were filthy rich. His mother came from a family of actors, producers and directors. His mother herself was a very well know actress. Cassandra Pikes was the name on everyone’s lips in her time. His father however, grew up in the oil business. His was an oil tycoon as was his father before, and his father before and so on and so forth. Alex decided to stray from both his family businesses and venture into his own field of expertise.

Alex was not only smart, brilliant and rich. He was also very handsome, carrying, friendly and easy going. He was definitely not one of those stuck up rich people. Alex had everything except the most important thing… someone who would love him and not his money.

Alex had a few close calls in terms of getting married. However, none of them panned out. The women were more into his wealth and what status they would hold by marrying him than caring about him as a person. Alex was a firm believer in true love however, he did not think it was easy to come by. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. Although he had some unfortunate mishaps with women, he was still holding out for his one true love.

Seeing as it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and the weather was lovely, Alex decided to go to the park to take in some fresh air whiles working on his formula. He found a spot in the park that looked secluded enough, to offer him the peace and quiet he needed in order to work.   

Alex worked on his formula for a couple hours, then stopped to take a rest. He was enjoying the sun whiles sipping his coffee from his thermostat. He watched the scene of families playing together and having fun. It brought a smile to his face as he watched brothers and sisters chasing each other around. Alex had always wondered what it would have been like having siblings, looking at the little children playing made his feel like he missed out on a vital part of life.

His gaze was drawn away from the children to a lovely young woman. She couldn’t have been more than 21 or 22, but she was pretty nonetheless. He watched as she walked towards him, with her head bended, engrossed in her phone. As she got nearer, he could see how beautiful she was. He was sitting there with his coffee half way to his lips, staring. Caught off guard by her beauty, he didn’t realise that she was heading straight for him.

She stumbled, spilling the coffee she was holding all over him and his laptop, which started making a sizzling sound. Standing fast, Alex tried to shake the steaming liquid from his laptop. However, he knew that the damage was done.
