Chapter 17: The Story of Alan Morgan
After the incident in Aria's house, Alexa couldn't get Alan Morgan out of her head. She wondered what could have happened to make him so depressed and distant. The next day, Alexa and Aria went to visit him and found out that he was the heir of the Morgan Industries, a multimillion-dollar company.
Alan's father had been admitted in the hospital, and his mother was running the company, but there was a power struggle going on within the family. Alan's uncle, Mr. Travis, wanted to take control of the company and was willing to do anything to get it, including harming Alan and his mother.
Alexa was shocked to hear about Travis involvement in the accident of the Alan Dad. She realized that her mother's company was not the only target, and there were many people out there who were after power and money, no matter the cost.
Alan was grateful for Alexa's concern and help. With her and Aria's support, he started to recover from the trauma and planned to take control of his family's company. He started to work on his father's project, which was to develop a new technology that could revolutionize the energy sector.
Alexa was fascinated by the project and offered to help him. Alan was impressed by Alexa's knowledge of coding, IT, and hacking, and they started to work together. Alexa's interest in the project also sparked her curiosity about the business world, and she started to learn more about it from her mother and by occasionally visiting her office.
On weekdays, Alexa continued to learn fighting skills, as her mother insisted on it. On weekends, the trio of Alexa, Aria, and Jason met at Aria's place for hanging out. They spent most of their time playing games, watching movies, and discussing Alan's project.
As days passed, Alan started to open up to Alexa and Aria about his family issues. He revealed that his father's recovery was is going so slow, and he suspected foul play. He was determined to find out the truth and bring the culprits to justice.
Alexa and Aria promised to help him in any way they could. With their help, Alan started to gather evidence and pieces of information that would prove his father's death was not an accident. He also planned to take over the company and make it better than ever before.
Alexa, Aria, and Jason were amazed by Alan's determination and courage. They were happy to see him slowly overcoming his depression and moving forward in life. They knew that they had made a lifelong friend in Alan and were determined to help him in any way they could.
