Fallen World

Chapter 1

Alexis POV

I woke up with a slight headache but it wasn't unexpected. I have always been this way, falling sick almost every time no matter how much I tried to remain healthy.

I got up from my bed and placed my hand on my forehead, taking in a deep breath. I shook my head and got out of bed.

Alexis, 26, CEO of Reeds Enterprise. To almost everyone out there, I was the perfect figure, cute, handsome, manly and rich, just the perfect type for all ladies but still yet I remain single.

All my life, I have been leading a sickly life so how in the world am I supposed to stay for long with a lady?

I am quite sure that ladies would not love to be with a guy who gets sick suddenly without a reason to be and so, I decided to choose the life that suit me the most, remaining single while having fun with ladies whenever I was at my best.

This was mainly to debunk rumors of me being a gay of some sort.

I moved into the bathroom and took a long refreshing bath. I wrapped a towel around my waist and found my way to my closet, picking a random white shirt and dark jeans.

I dressed up quite sluggishly as the headache grew worse, indicating that this day wasn't going to be one of the days that I was healthy.

"Good morning" I heard the pretty familiar voice, Kim, my private manager.

I called him private because he was managing my personal life and not the company actually.

"Kim" I mumbled and he rushed over to me.

" How are you feeling today sir?" He asked and I held my head, shaking my head slightly.

"Not very well as I say" I mumbled and in few seconds, he was handing me some pain relievers and a glass of water.

"You know this won't work so much. Let's just go to the hospital" I said, standing up.

"let me help you" Kim mumbled.

"No, I can get to the car myself" I replied and found my way out of my room.

I hated being pitied so much and that's why my illness has always been a secret.

"What's going on in the company?" I asked him.

"Boss, you really can't be asking about business right at this moment, you are not feeling too good at this moment" he replied worriedly.

"I... I am going to be fine" I replied him, holding onto my throbbing head.

"You are getting worse, we should go see the doctor" he added.

"And what the heck can he do to help me? All of his medications never work for me, none had ever worked" I replied him.

"But perhaps he has new drugs that might help" he suggested.

"There is no such thing that can help me. Perhaps like mum said, I need to visit a witch doctor " I replied him.

"That's...you have never believed in things like this" Kim said to me.

"Yeah, I have never believed such but then when things push you to a certain stage, you find out that you simply have no option than to go to things that you have never believed in" I replied him.

"Your voice is getting clearer,I think the other hours of the day would not be so bad" Kim noted out.

"I think so too, get prepared, we are going to work right at this moment"I said to him.

"I think we can have the board meeting tomorrow,you are the CEO, you definitely can postpone do so"

"And how sure are you that I would be this okay tomorrow?"

"But...."

"Enough Kim, you see getting on my nerves already" I said and got off my bed.

I was already good at least, I was not feeling as weak as I was doing earlier and I was grateful that I was having the quick recovery today.
