Alex walked out of the suite and met Cassie in the hallway, she smiled at him and the smile slowly turned into a questioning look “Where is your wife?” She asked as she walked closer to him and he didn't give her a response. Scott walked out of his suite and Cassie turned to him.“Scott, do you know where Blakeley is?” She asked Scott as she wore a worried expression on her face. “What?” Scott asked and looked at Alex who looked away from them.“Come on, you really did that?” Scott questioned.“Did what?” Cassie asked and Alex walked away with his bags.“I don't think they are married anymore.” Scott replied and Cassie’s eyes widened.“What? Why? Did they have a fight again? Did she leave him because of what happened?”“Alex left her.” Scott answered and Cassie shook her head as she felt so sad.“No, who am I supposed to bond with and do crazy stuff with?” She walked towards Alex angrily as he got closer to the elevator. She rushed to him and stood in his presence as he was about t
After some hours, they arrived in New York. It was a long flight and Blakeley slept throughout most of it. Alex enjoyed watching her sleep though. As the plane landed, they all made their way out. Scott headed to his house while Cassie headed to the Xanders estate while Alex and Blakeley headed to their mansion.********MINUTES LATER Alex walked into the house with Blakeley, butler Logan welcomed them while the maids carried their bags up to their rooms.It was almost dusk already and Blakeley was starving.“Are you hungry?” Alex asked as soon as she turned to him to ask if she could have dinner now. She chuckled before nodding in response. Again he was being nice to her but she feared it wouldn't be for long. He can wake up tomorrow and be all mean again.“You can go ahead to the dining room, I will join you.” He said and was about to walk upstairs but Blakeley hurriedly stopped him with a worried look.“Where are you going?” She asked.“Upstairs.” “Don't leave me.” She said and
“Stop it, it's really not funny.” Blakeley sighed in frustration as she ate her breakfast, Alex chuckled and shrugged.“You look cute when you are upset.” He said and she ignored him.“Oh, you are ignoring me now?” He asked and still she gave him no response.“Woah, is it a bi thing to ignore their husband?” He teased and he heard her sniff, the smirk on his face faded as he noticed she was crying.“Hey, Blakeley.” He called and moved closer to her, she looked away from him as she cried. “I was just messing with you. Why are you crying?” “I know, I just cry when I am upset.” She replied and sniffed, she turned to him and he cupped her cheeks. She sniffed and he used his thumb to wipe her tears.“So it worked. I upset you.” He joked and Blakeley glared at him, he laughed and pecked her lips.“Oh, you are so cute.” He muttered and kissed her again.***********HOURS LATER ALMOST DUSKBlakeley smiled as she stared at the dress and heels in her hand as she walked up the stairs, she smi
They arrived at the Xanders mansion and Blakeley breathed out nervously. Alex held her hand giving her a comforting look.“I am here with you.” He said and she nodded with a smile. They walked out of the car and walked into the house, as expected they were already late and the family were in the dining room. Blakeley noticed the old lady she met on the island wasn't there, a maid led them to the dining room and everyone was already there. They all turned to look at them and Cassie beamed as she saw Blakeley. Blakeley was tense, she held Alex’s hand tightly as his parents stared at her.“Good evening.” Alex greeted and he pulled Blakeley with him as they sat next to each other which made Blakeley next to Cassie and Alex next to his father. Dante and his wife were opposite them. “Are you guys getting a divorce?” Mrs. Xanders asked as the maids dished her and Alex’s meal.“No,” Alex replied sternly and she kept quiet. She said nothing again and no one said anything too. As they kep
THE NEXT DAY MORNING Blakeley got ready for the day and headed out of her room, she walked down the stairs and got to the living room. She paused when she saw Alex watching the news with Logan, she was on the news. They were talking about Stacey’s death, and her picture was displayed next to Stacey’s.“We just got the autopsy result back from the hospital and Stacey seemed to have stabbed herself multiple times before falling into the ocean, they found a suicidal note in her room with her handwriting on it. Turns out Blakeley Xanders is innocent and knows nothing about her death, the cut on her hand was due to a broken glass in the restroom of the ship. We apologise for the inconvenience we caused her and promise to make up for all the mistreatment. May Stacey’s soul rest in perfect peace.” The news reporter said and Alex turned off the television. He turned and noticed Blakeley was in the room.“Oh, good morning ma’am and congratulations.” Logan greeted with a bow and she smiled s
Alex sat next to Dante as they watched their father address them and the rest of the board of the company. He didn't want to be there but he had to, he had no choice. He was bored and tired already, all questions kept being thrown to Dante because he managed a bigger part of the company.His father finally talked about his investment in the company and the issues they might be having, it was finally time for him to speak.“Alex, over to you.” His father said and he stood up, he was about to address the issue when his phone rang. “Excuse me.” He muttered and brought out his phone from his jacket. Scott was the caller, he ended the call and tucked it back in his jacket. He was about to speak again and his phone rang, the board started to murmur and Dante had a smile on his face. “Turn that phone off.” His father ordered as he brought it out. It was Scott again, if Scott could call him back after ending a call then it is very important.“I will just pick it up.” He muttered and picke
Scott helped Cassie put on her jacket and her shoes, he helped her out of the bed and she smiled at him.“Thanks.” She muttered and he nodded. They both turned to Alex and Blakeley and Cassie sighed.“I feel bad.” Cassie muttered.“Why?”“Because she hasn't woken up yet.” “It's fine, she will.” Scott assured and she nodded.“Hmm, Alex. We are leaving.” Scott said and Alex turned to them. It is night already and Cassie has been discharged, she only had minor injuries and she had been treated already and was okay. “Okay.” Alex replied.“Do you need anything? Probably get you dinner before we leave?” Scott asked and he shook his head in response. “You can some of the chocolates her fans sent.” Cassie suggested and Alex looked around the room which was filled with flowers, gifts, cards and gift boxes.“No, it's fine.” He replied dryly and Cassie nodded.“Okay, bye then.” Scott said and Cassie gave him a comforting smile before walking out of the room. Alex sighed and turned to Blakeley
“Are you trying to ignore the truth?” Blakeley asked back and Alex was surprised by her response but his face held no surprised expression.“Did something get into you out of the blue?” He asked.“I just asked you about the Russian lady and you suddenly had this mad expression on, definitely something is going on between you two. You literally yell and get mad at me because of that lady.” Blakeley snapped at him and turned away from him, Alex was speechless and he rolled his eyes. He stood up and walked out of the ward.*********HOURS LATER Blakeley sat up as the doctor did a quick check up on her, Alex was standing close to the door going through his phone. “Alright. You are okay and ready to go home. Just keep taking your medications for a week straight and let your wounds heal up, don't go through too much stress and you will heal faster ma’am.” He explained and she smiled.“Thank you.” She replied and he nodded, he walked to Alex and bowed a little before walking out.
