“A hundred thousand dollars, can I see a hundred thousand dollars?” The auctioneer asked and men raised their pads including a few women.“Four hundred.” He increased the price and a few boards went down while some were up. It finally got sold to a man who looked like he was in his fifties.As the auction kept going on, Alex and Scott kept exchanging looks. Blakeley thought about what possible heist could be carried out at an auction. ‘Are they going to steal the ladies?’ She thought.‘But that doesn't make sense, what is the advantage of a lot of ladies to Alex? And how is it possible to steal people? It is definitely not a heist. They are both up to something else.’As the auction went on, Blakeley noticed the man two able away from them by the right kept staring at her, she kept avoiding him.The man suddenly raised his board as they bid on the lady on stage, Alex turned to the man and stared at him. “Has Cassie agreed to it yet?” Alex suddenly said as he looked away from the man
Cassie kept glancing at Blakeley as she remained frozen on the seat, her hands were still trembling.“Blakeley, are you okay?” She asked and Blakeley didn't give her a response. They got to the hotel and Cassue sighed in relief.“You guys should pack your bags and get ready, we are leaving for New York early tomorrow morning.” Alex said ss they all got out of the car except Blakeley who remained in her seat staring at nothing with her hands wrapped around her. “Hey, is your wife okay?” Scott asked, glancing at Blakeley in the car.“Yeah, she just saw me kill people.” Alex replied.“Oh.” Scott muttered and nodded.He and Cassie walked inside the hotel together leaving them behind. Alex sighed and walked to the side she was sitting, he opened the car door and watched her for a few seconds. “Get out of the car, Blakeley.” He ordered and she didn't give him a response. He was getting mad and frustrated already, he was exhausted because he had a long day and he just wanted to take a na
Alex was about to walk to Scott’s suite when it opened and he walked out with Cassie. They both paused as they saw him and he glared at Cassie.“I didn't spend the night there.” She hurriedly said and he rolled his eyes.“You’ve packed yet?” Alex asked.“Yeah. Our bags are already in the car. The guards took them down a few minutes ago.” “Okay. Can you help Blakeley with bringing out the bags?” He asked Cassie and she nodded.“Sure.” She replied and walked past him. Alex waited till Cassie walked into his suite before walking closer to Scott.“Hey, I’m sorry. She really didn't spend the night here, we… ““Can you chill, man?” Alex cut him off and he raised his brows in confusion.“Yeah, sure. What's up?” “We missed Christmas.”“Yeah, I know. We always miss Christmas.” “What can I get a lady for Christmas?” He asked and Scott's expression slowly changed and he smirked.“You want to get Blakeley something for Christmas?”“Quit smirking and yeah. She loves Christmas so much, she is th
“Alex.” She muttered and walked to him, she hugged him tightly and he wrapped his arms around her.“Do you really have to cry over every little thing?” He asked and she sniffed.“I was scared. There was no one here, you weren't picking up. No one was and I don't know my way around New York.” She said as she held him tightly.“I was close by then. Mr Kim told me you were working late.” He said and she pulled away from the hug, she wiped her tears and smiled.“Yes.” She replied and he nodded. Her eyes drifted to his wrist and she saw he was wearing the watch and bracelet she got him.“Do you like it?” She asked and he looked at his wrist.He nodded in response and her smile grew wider.“You know you didn't have to spend so much money. If you want to buy anything you can pay with the card I gave you.”“But it's your money that is in it and I wanted to get you something.”“It doesn't matter.”“Well, you're worth it. You are the reason my life is like this and besides, the money you pay me
“Hmm, I... We met while we were both on a business trip and we decided to keep it at a low profile at that time.” She responded and Kevin nodded with a smile before turning to Stacey.“Stacey, are you in any relationship at the moment?” He asked and she smiled. That was also a personal question.Since Stacey was also asked a personal question, Blakeley felt it was part of the questions then and they weren't trying to embarrass her.“Well, no for now. As everyone knows, Alex is my ex and we were planning to take things further but I guess we weren't meant to be.” She said and Blakeley rolled her eyes. She was asked if she was in a relationship, she didn't really have to bring Alex into it. At this point, the views increased by over a million, every fan of Stacey and Blakeley was watching including Scott. “Why are you paying so much attention to your phone? We have a lot of work to do.” Alex said to Scott.“Oh, you don't know.”“Know what?”“Blakeley is doing a live interview.”“What?
He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, he shielded her from the crowd and they both rushed to his car. He helped her in and also got in, the crowd threw stuff at his car and Blakeley shivered in fear as she watched them.He successfully drove out of the crowd and he sighed in relief, he glanced at Blakeley who was crying silently as she held onto his jacket tightly.“Blakeley.” He called and she turned to him with tears in her eyes.“It's fine. You are okay now.” He assured her and she nodded. What if Cole hadn't shown up? What would have happened? He really showed up for her at the right time.“Thank you.” She muttered.“Let's get you cleaned up.” He said.Cole walked out of the car and walked to the other side, he helped Blakeley out of the car and held her hand.“Thank you.” She muttered.He held her hand as they both walked into the mansion, Blakeley felt uncomfortable being so close to him because she stank. Different kinds of things were thrown at including eggs.They
“I will just get changed instead.” She said and stood up, she hurried into the closet and took off Cole’s clothes, she wore a shirt and a short then walked out.She paused when she couldn't find Alex in the room anymore, he left already. She sighed and walked to her bed, she lay on it and closed her eyes.‘Now that things are like this, what am I going to do now?’ She thought and sighed again.*******HOURS LATER Blakeley groaned as she kept switching channels and she kept showing up. She has been trying to not get affected by what was going on, she slept for hours and when she woke up, she decided to watch the television. “Come on. Are you fucking kidding me?” She groaned as the channel got interrupted by breaking news and she was the one the news was about. “I’m done.” She scoffed and switched off the television. She stood up and was about to head to the stairs when the door opened. It was Alex. Earlier in the day, he left and she had no idea where he went. He was holding a littl
“Can you eat all that?” Alex asked Blakeley as she stuffed her mouth with bread, she nodded with a mouth full and a smile.They were both having breakfast together. Alex glanced at the time on his wristwatch and gulped a cup of coffee.“I have to go.” He said and he noticed the look on Blakeley’s face. “Cassie is coming in an hour. She will bring your dress for the cruise party and leave later. I will be back home early today because of the party.” He said and her face lit up. She hurriedly chewed the bread in her mouth and smiled. “Okay. Have a nice day.” She said and he nodded, he leaned closer to her and kissed her forehead before walking out of the dining room. Blakeley continued with her breakfast alone.After a while of staying at home alone, Cassie showed up with her dress and she was glad. “Woah. These heels look priceless.” Blakeley said as she tried them on. “Yeah. They are really expensive, this is the only pair in New York City, I don't know how your husband managed to
