THE WEALTH GENOME ⚠️(ALERT!)⚠️ Wealth Genome Review – Alex Maxwell Wealth Genome

A few moments passed. He hadn’t moved. Time almost felt like it was standing still. He shook his head to come back into reality, a hand now reaching out for his arm. Alex turned and grabbed it quickly, shoving her backwards. “Don’t touch me. You don’t get that right anymore.” He growled as she now hit the pavement. “Alex. Please.” She pleaded and Alex’s eyes grew to the deep shade of blue they always did when he was angry. “I trusted you! Amelia don’t you get that?! I fucking trusted you and this is what you do to me?! Sleep with one of my closest friends?!” Alex’s eyes flickered, seeing the whole fraternity now starting to come out of the house, watching their every move. He shook his head and looked down at her. “Come get your stuff tomorrow. It will be outside.” He finished, as he looked back up at the person who he once considered his friend. “Fuck you too Darren!” Alex called out to him, kicking some road water into Amelia's face. She got up in a hurry, stomping up to Alex. “Deal with it. It’s done and so are we.” His heart shattered even further, his jaw clenching tightly to hold back his emotions as he turned to walk away. He sat up, inhaling deeply as his eyes flashed open. He looked around the room trying to get a feel for his surroundings, seeing Maddie still asleep next to him. He let his breath go slowly as he ran his fingers through his own hair. ‘It was just a dream. The same dream. But a dream nevertheless.’ Alex told himself as he hopped out of bed quietly and headed down to his office. “This is the fourth night in a row you know.” Sebastian told Alex as he noticed the light in the office come on. He shook his head in agreement. “Do you think it has anything to do with the night of the charity?” He could hear Sebastian ask, feeling himself cringe in response. “Honestly, I don’t know. They weren’t here til after that night. Could be. It will pass.” Alex tried to shake it off as he got himself comfortable behind his desk, beginning to dig through old files. “Does Miss Taylor know?” He shook his head. The last thing he wanted to do was to worry her even more and he refused to do so. “She doesn’t need to know and you are not going to tell her. Understand?” Alex responded as he opened up a manila folder, searching through the next file that was placed on his desk, black circles now starting to form under his eyes. 

“Nice job, Johnson.” Alex told the newest intern on the team who had found signs of a bullet hitting a rib. He held the rib bone up into the light and pointed with his finger at the different ricochet patterns. “Is this the only markings you found?” He asked curiously as he set the bone back in place along the table, picking up the one above it. “So far Dr. Maxwell but I haven’t finished looking.” Alex nodded as he held the next bone up into the light, furrowing his brow. He paused for a moment.  “I don’t think this was a bullet. Just because if it was there would be marks on either the top or the bottom and their isn’t....” His thoughts trailed off as he brought the bone down and placed it back on the table. “Jessica! Take this bone and find a weapon that could match this please.” Alex called out, taken off guard by the fact Maddie was now on her way up to the platform with Sebastian. He shook his head with a couple of blinks trying to see if he was imagining things. No. She really was right there in front of him.  Alex held a hand up to stop her before she hit the stairs. “Not up here.” He told her as he pulled his gloves off and tossed them in the bio-hazard container. He then left his Dr. Coat up on the rack and made his way off the platform, now standing in front of her.  “When you say we have a problem that doesn’t make me feel any better to see you darling.” He said to her as he lifted an arm out, navigating them to his office, shutting the door behind them. His eyes flickered from Sebastian to Maddie as he tried to asses how bad the situation was.  “Sir if I may.” Sebastian piped up toward the door as Alex tried to make heads or tails of the current situation. He rolled his head to look at him and raised an eyebrow “Go ahead.” he said to him. Sebastian closed his eyes for a moment, knowing that the next set of details was probably not going to be pleasant. “Roses and a note that says she belongs to him. Got the briefing from Daniel.” Alex’s eyes grew a bit wider and were now turning into a deeper blue as anger started to build up. He turned to look at Maddie, pure rage and annoyance on his face. “Who is it. Which poor, pathetic soul thinks they even withstand a chance?” he asked lowly, sitting back in his chair. He tried to piece it all together from the previous events. Her nightmares, the recent kidnapping, all of it. The places that were turned over night after night just for Daniel and him to catch a lead. “Do you think it is the same guy from that night?” Alex asked her, wanting to confirm his own suspicions. He had a feeling that it was all going to be one tightly wrapped bow put together.  “What did Daniel have to say?” he questioned. Daniel was just as much in with this as Alex was. Hell the man watched him almost die trying to save her from the truck. He looked over to Maddie and gave a slight smile, trying to ease his anger just a bit. This wasn’t her fault. This time. “We will get this taken care of. How about we just go home. I can finish up here later.” Alex looked out the small window out to the platform watching everyone work. “Besides. I’ll have to take the lead on the next person who comes across that table.” He chuckled, already having thoughts about his next course of action. 

Alex had just shed his gloves off after helping the new interns clean the bones of a body who was now on his platform. “Let me know what you find. This one is going to be on the more difficult side.” He warned, quickly being interrupted by his phone vibrating in his pocket. “Excuse me a second.” He called out and he pulled his phone out, retreating into his office. “Mr. Malcolm decided to pay her a visit.” is all the message from Sebastian read and immediately anger boiled inside of him. This guy was really starting to become a pain in Alex’s ass and not one he liked. ‘Be there in 10. Keep her safe.’ He replied back as he grabbed his leather jacket and his helmet. Alex then walked out of the office and waved up at the platform. “Call me with the results!” He called up to his team and headed out, getting himself situated on his motorcycle. It didn’t take long for Alex to make it to the house. He had heard the shots go off, panic starting to set in. He threw his helmet off and ran inside the house seeing Maddie wet and curled up against the wall.  “What the fuck happened?!” Alex questioned as he squatted down in front of her, trying to get her to unball herself. He looked up at Sebastian with glaring eyes “Towels and a hot bath. Now!” Alex ordered as he stood up, lowering down to pick her up. He carried her up the stairs, hearing the water running in the distance. “I see you took the balcony down.” He tried to lighten up the mood as he looked out the window to the balcony of their bedroom. “It’s quite fun the more you do it. I promise.” He teased as he hit the side of his leg, whistling for Belle. The pup ran up the stairs and stood by Alex’s side. He then sat Maddie down on the edge of the bath platform, reaching over to turn the water off. He turned back to her and squatted down in front of her. “I will get the carpets replaced.” he whispered to her as he reached out and gave her leg a slight rub. “I am proud of you. You did amazing.” He reassured her before giving her leg a quick squeeze before leaning up to kiss her. “Get yourself comfortable and in the bath. I’ll be back shortly.” Alex smiled up at her before standing up fully and walking back downstairs. Alex pinched the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath in before looking at Sebastian. “Did he even say what he wanted?” he questioned as he began to pace back and forth in the kitchen. Sebastian shook his head “The only thing was that he objected her marrying you and that the conversation wasn’t over.” Alex couldn’t help but laugh. “His conversation is definitely over. I can assure that.” He stated as he stopped before turning to Sebastian with a smile as big as he could manage.  “What do you say we go pay good ol’ daddy a visit. Shall we?” Sebastian nodded before walking out of the room, getting all the files possible ready. Alex’s eyes flickered up the stairs. He knew he had to go tell Maddie that he was going to be leaving again. He hated having to tell her he was leaving but this time it was different. Alex took the stairs two steps at a time and made it back into the master bathroom. “Hey baby girl. I am going to be stepping out here for a few hours. When I get home we can set up some sort of outside activity.” He said to her. He leaned down and gave her a kiss, pulling away with a smile. “I love you. Remember that.” Alex then headed back into his office and began strapping himself up with his weapons, getting ready for a good old fashioned chat. 

“What do you mean you got arrested?!” Alex yelled at Flynn through the receiver, stepping away from the busy London streets. He had just completed the job assigned to him and he was wanting to go pick up something for her as an apology. His jaw clenched. Alex couldn’t believe what he was hearing from the other end. “She fucking got you arrested. To think I was going to spoil her. Now I have to go back and beat her ass.” He thought for a moment as he looked at his surroundings before looking back to his watch. “Give me three days. Keep her held for three days.” He hung up the phone and shoved it back into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, hailing a cab to the airport. He took the most ready flight back out to the Maldives. The flight was long as much as boring but it gave him enough time to think about how he was going to handle the situation. If he timed it right he would be there before she woke up on the third day. It was perfect and a good way to scare the shit out of her. Who didn’t love a morning scare. The plane touched down and Alex almost smiled with anticipation. He grabbed his small carry on from the above cabin and headed out of the plane, seeing Sebastian at the end of the terminal. “You look fucked up.” he couldn’t help but chuckle as he got the death glare. “I know she is a handful, but that’s why I love her.” he repeated out loud. Not just for Sebastian but for himself also. He took a deep breath in and looked over at the male standing behind him. “You gave her the correct doses right? Just enough to put her to sleep and you fed her right?” Even though Alex was pissed off he was still worried about her well being. She was his weakness after all. Sebastian agreed as he pulled up the the end of the bungalow trail. “As much of a pain in the ass she is. We got it.” he reassured Alex, walking with him down to their place. Once inside, Alex greeted Daniel and shook his head. “How do you do this all the damn time. She’s like a child you know.” he told him as he looked up to the bedroom where a sleeping Maddie now was. He turned toward Sebastian “Let me in please.” Alex closed the door behind him and got himself comfortable in one of the hammocks that was far enough off to the side where she wouldn’t see him right away. He looked at his watch and knew that she would be awake here momentarily, the drugs starting to lose their affects. Alex looked over and saw her sit up, looking almost bored while held prisoner. Without moving a muscle, Alex stayed looking up at the ceiling, swaying back and forth slightly. “The nerve of those guys am I right?” Alex asked almost calmly as he kept his position to the side. “How dare they try to keep you safe in an unknown city where your boyfriend won’t be with you to help. Like who even cares about safety these days?” He shrugged as he rolled himself upright out of the hammock, walking over to her. He positioned himself in front of her and looked down at a now still Maddie. “You know. I was hoping that for once in your damn life you would listen. I said three days did I not? Three fucking days. Was that so God damned hard?!” Alex’s voice began to go up the more his anger started to show. He reached out and took her face in his hand, forcing her to look up at him. His grip got a little tighter before shoving her away with force. No bruises, not on her face. “You are ridiculous! Why didn’t you call? Could have asked for an hour. It wouldn’t have been completely alone but it wouldn’t have been close and personal.” Alex shook his head a bit. He knew that she wouldn’t have gotten that alone time no matter how bad she had wanted it. Not til his work was done. He sighed “This tells me that you don’t trust me enough to have your best interests in mind. You don’t trust me to keep you safe and you can go gallivant the city whenever you want!!” He roared as he swiftly turned around, throwing everything that was on top of the dresser behind him toward the wall in one motion.  He turned himself back toward the water, keeping himself a good distance so in the event she tried to push him he would land on the hard floor. “I don’t understand. I give you everything and I mean everything you want and you pull this shit. What more do you want from me? My last name? It’s yours. Children? Later. I physically have nothing left to offer you. So what do you fucking want Madeline?”

“Do you see her there Mr. Maxwell? You say no and I swear she will die.” The mysterious man said to him as he pointed to a live feed cam of Maddie swimming out in the ocean. Alex was trapped and he knew it. The one time he wanted a vacation with no work. Look at what he got, work. “Oh, and she is not to know about any of this. We are always watching.” Alex shook his head in almost disbelief. He was really getting black mailed. “Whose the target. I don’t go in blind and my fee is pretty high.” Alex stated. He had no choice than to accept it but he was going to accept on his terms. The man looked at him and shut the laptop, packing it away. “The files will be sent to you on your tablet. No paper as we can’t have Miss Taylor finding out. As for your fee.....as if her life wasn’t enough to sway you......I have wired 1.25 million into your account. See it through.” In a moment the man and his three men were gone, leaving Alex in a bit of a bind. He looked out at the water to see a swimming Maddie, having fun with the ocean life. His heart broke a little knowing he was going to have to hurt her. Deciding on telling her later, Alex pulled out his bag and began to pack his things. It didn’t take long for her to hop up onto the porch of the bungalow, questioning his every move. “I have to get back.” Alex simply told her as he tucked away a couple of shirts into the bag. He flowed around the room and grabbed all of his necessities, packing them away. “Please stop asking me to go with you. I can’t. I have to leave.” Alex tried to keep a calm voice as he zipped up the duffel bag and turned to face her. He was getting frustrated at the constant asking to go with her for a swim, feeling powerless in the situation. “If you want to swim take one of them!!” Alex snapped at her, pointing out to Flynn and Sebastian. “I am sure they would love to finish out this vacation with you but I can’t okay!” he yelled, taking a moment to walk out to the porch. He took a deep breath in let it out slowly as he tried to get himself to calm down. Before he could turn around to face her, Alex felt the rush of cold ocean water hit his skin. ‘Did she just fucking really?’ he thought to himself as he pulled himself above the water, taking a huge breath in.  “Are you serious right now?” he asked her as he looked at her now standing above him. He swam over to the side and pulled himself up out of the water and made his way up to her, now standing over her. He didn’t say a word. His eyes were now a deep blue with rage and he could feel it. He reached out and grabbed her by both arms, gripping his fingers into her skin and lifted her up to him, face to face. “When will you learn?” Alex asked her as his grip got tighter into her skin. “Hope you’re a fast swimmer.” he warned her as he threw her over the edge of the porch, watching her hit the water. He turned to Sebastian and nodded toward her. “Get her before she drowns. I want her alive.” he ordered. Alex then quickly changed into a dry set of clothes and grabbed his duffel bag, walking down the wooden walkway to the airport shuttle. 

(Borrowed picture from Miss Taylor) Alex has decided that he is taking Maddie to the one and only Maldives. He has planned out this whole vacation and intends to do nothing except relax and show his girlfriend a good time. On the agenda is snorkeling along the coral reef, a dinner date on the beach for two and a visit to the famous underwater restaurant. The two will also be staying right on the water so soaking up the sun will definitely be a must. One thing that Alex is upset to have to leave behind is his work. He is a workaholic and is always sneaking to his office at night to get himself ahead and to prep for the unknown. However he did promise Maddie that he would be completely relaxed and work free. Alex is excited though that he got to bring his camera. Not a lot of people know this but Alex is sort of a picture taking nerd. If he has a shot then he is going to take it. Let’s hope this vacation gives him a ton of photo opportunity.

Alex inhaled deeply as he took in the scent of the Smithsonian. It had been what seemed like forever since he had stepped foot into his own office. He mostly did over sight on the new interns and aspiring anthropologists, unless he was specifically called in. “Dr. Maxwell!” one of the interns called, causing him to come back to reality, a smile on his face. “Dr. Hodgens. Good to see you.” Alex exclaimed as he took his badge and scanned himself up onto the platform. “How have you been holding up here? Liking the place?” Alex asked as he grabbed himself a pair of gloves, sliding them on quickly. “What have we got here?” he asked as he slid on his doctors coat, bringing in an overhead magnifying glass to take a closer look. “Well, I just got the bones cleaned but I can’t find anything yet.” his colleague told him, Alex humming in almost delight as he reached across the table. “See that there? Healing fractures on the ribs. Our poor girl here was put through the ringer what looks like her whole life. Take that route.” Alex told him as he moved around the table, lifting up one of the ribs, examining it more closely. “Do we have an I.D yet?” he questioned as he put down one rib bone for another, looking even closer. “Not yet. Still waiting to hear back from Melanie.” Dr. Hodgens told him, putting samples into little baggies. Before Alex could move his focus from the rib bones he could feel his phone vibrate in his pocket. He closed his eyes for a moment, already having a feeling his day out was going to be cut short. “Excuse me.” Alex mumbled as he took his gloves off and disposed of them, stepping off the platform to answer the call. “What do you mean she is gone?” Alex growled into the receiver, his rage about to hit a boiling point. “I’m sure she went back to Luxe. Really Sebastian I would think you would know her routine by now...” he trailed off, hanging up the phone before he could say anything back. “Guys I have to run. Trouble on the home front. Call me if you find anything or need help.” Alex called out as he left the building, hopping into his car. He thought for a moment about his next moves. Sure he could go to Luxe and cause a scene and drag her out by her hair or he could go back to their house and wait for her. Alex chose the second option and headed back toward the house. It didn’t take him too long to get home. He parked his car in the garage and the minute he got inside he pulled his shirt out from being tucked in and poured himself a drink, keeping the illusion that he had been home all day. Alex looked at his watch and nodded as he took a sip of his freshly poured scotch, hearing the door open and close. Show time. “Hey babe. How was your day?” Alex asked curiously as he took another sip, setting the glass down on the counter. He listened to her tell him about the man at Luxe and how it was the same man from the day of the run. Alex nodded and pretended to keep a calm face, giving the illusion that he wasn’t angry but concerned. He held a finger up to stop her story. “Wait? The guy was at Luxe? I thought you were staying home today?” Alex cocked his head to the side slightly, furrowing his brow in confusion. “I also thought Sebastian was with you. At least I told him to be....” he trailed off, turning himself to face the hallway. “Sebastian!” Alex called, the man quickly appearing into the room. “I thought you were watching her? You went to Luxe?” He asked as he still kept up his charade.  “Obviously you are incompetent with the detail I have assigned to you. You are relieved of your duties indefinitely.” Alex’s tone becoming more cold as he turned his eyes to hers, deep blue with rage. He waited til Sebastian left the room before exploding. “You put your own self at risk AGAIN all because you wanted some damn air?!” Alex screamed as he finally released his pent up aggression. “How many fucking times do we have to go through this? You want ‘Me’ time or whatever the fuck it’s called you let me know. Not escape out where you could have been killed on the fucking spot!” He continued, reaching his hand over to his scotch, sliding it as hard as he could. The cup almost flew off the counter and shattered into the wall to the side of them. “Do you not understand that? Do you not understand that you could have been taken again? Killed if caught long enough? Do you not fucking care about how I feel about this?!”  His voice filling the entire room in a shout as he got closer to her. “One fucking thing. I bend over backwards to your every dumb ass request and you can’t do one for me. Fucking me time. It’s bullshit! You want me time then take it permanently!” Alex screamed in her face before reaching his fist up and putting a hole in the wall behind her. He inhaled deeply and pulled his fist from the wall, turning himself toward the stair way. “Fuck this house. Apparently there isn’t enough space for ‘me’ time. Blow it up.” He called out to her as he went up to his office, locking himself inside.
