“Mr. Hudston ” His long acquaintance greeted and shook hands with him. “It has been a long time since we both met each other. Surprisingly, you came with a woman ” He smiled and said fluently.
No wonder he had refused his daughter, he already had his beauty.
“Miss Parker, you look so beautiful as always, especially in that gown. ” He complimented the beauty himself. He could not lie that the dress did salute her figure and skin tone.
“Thank you ” Alexa bowed her head. She itched when all eyes were on her and whispers were heard. Mr. Foana never gave praises to anyone in particular over the years and shocked everyone when he flattered nobody in the entertainment industry.
And in particular, Khloe. She knew Ray would not show up but he bro
“Ms. Jonnes?” He called out her name. When he heard no response, he threw her hands open and freed himself from her clutch.Damn it, why was she this strong?He cursed as she held his belt.“Boss, here is it ” The assistant immediately covered her eyes when she saw the boss without his shirt and a loosened trouser.“I hope I didn't interrupt something.” She awkwardly turned her back and put her hands behind her back to give him the pajamas.“Fuck!" He cursed once more. “You shall never speak of this to my mother or anyone else, got it?”He was so embarrassed by their position and plus, he was naked in front of his secretary.“Drop it. You can go. ” He said as she dropped it on one of the glass tables and turned to leave.
...............At The Green Ball.“Your daughter's abilities are so extraordinary ” His friend chuckled and shook hands with him. Amelia's face, still maintaining her glorious smile, bowed her head.She felt satisfied with the praises she received from high elites. Sometimes, her eyes scrolled through the hallway in search of Mr. Hudston.She was infuriated with the spotlight on Alexa. Herself could not deny that the dress Alexa wore cost a fortune and was hard to buy which meant one thing, Ray bought it for her.Her hands clutched to the purple dress she wore and hid under her purse.“My son is young and at the age of marriage, he has an eye for y
“Alexa? Stop playing now!” Arya called again and ran away when she heard footsteps.“Where is she? She could not have disappeared like that!” Ray indifferently said. Alexa was right there before he left and now she was gone without a trace. Fear gripped his heart when all his men told him she was not around.He heard little arguing around the pool side and ran outside. To his dismay, huge blood replaced the pure fresh water in the pool.He dropped his jacket and dived into the pool.“Alexa, Alexa ” He tapped her face. The whole commotion attracted the elites attention and they came out to be what went wrong.“ Don't just stand there! Get the a
“What is this?”“This is my friend I talk to when I am angry, sad or upset. I am giving it to you, take good care of it. ” Alexa smiled and wiped her tears off. Her cheeks were red from the crying and her eyes were all teary.Soon the whole image disappeared, she was slowly coming back to reality. Her eyes opened up and she scanned her surroundings.It was neither blank nor white except from the ceiling. Her body felt so numb and she heard little voices. She raised her head up.“Where am I?” She murmured as she felt a man's head on her stomach. His breathing was steady as the wind. She looked down on him and smiled.Ray rested on her lap with his hands supporting
“How would she when you broke the sim card and threw it in the waste?!” He face palmed himself. His boss has a high IQ but a really low EQ. “So is it my fault? Gabriel, you need beatings!” He took the chopstick, picked up the apple and took a bite of it. He froze at the spot. His eyes widened as his mouth. “Is it that good?” Gabriel asked in excitement and brought out his own chopsticks to taste. He knew it would be delicious as it looked. “Where did she get this recipe from?!” He dropped the cutlery and threw the food on the floor. The food pack broke into pieces and the food poured on the white creamy floor. He stood up and fanned himself uncontrollably.  
“What of Ray? He hasn't come back?” Alexa played with the hem of her Dress and tucked her hair behind her ears. After hearing from Valerie how well he took care of her, she could not help but feel sorry for her statements. She really misjudged him and it pained her heart. “You mean the big boss? He normally stays out late at night. He might not come home tonight ” “Ooh!.....that is really.....never mind, you can go ” Alexa waved her hands sadly for her dismissal. “I can tell that the big madam is curious about something, if I may ask, what is it that bothers you?” “I remember! What does Ray like? Any special thing h
He had to hand it over to her, she did everything so meticulous that it was impossible to find loopholes in them.But why would she try to harm Alexa over their feuds?“Boss, I have been able to track her location and her schedule for tomorrow. Be prepared. She does not look like she would go down without destroying you first!”If there was one thing true about his mother is that he never goes down without a fight whether fair or not.“Just be sure to make sure that Alexa is protected at all times. Any fingers laid on her would add to your punishment!” He got from the chair where he was seated, went to his closet and wore his latest brown suit with gray embroidery.
“Isn't that too high for a newbie? I mean, she is still new in the business field and might make grievous errors in the records ” She let out her view. While, inside of her, she fumed! “With you and other colleagues help, she can excel.” He smiled and turned to Olivia. “You start work today. I will introduce you to the board. ” He took her hands and strode out of the room. Vivian scowled and balled her first the more. “Let go off me!” Olivia struggled from his firm grip. His arms wrapped around her waist and his left hand joined together with her right. Olivia said when the gaze became to awkward. How was she suppose to get along with other colleagues when they will be having doubts about he
Next Six Years, In the Wedding Hall.“I now pronounce you husband and wife ”The pastor announced with the whole crowd cheering and howling at them. Bunch of roses fell on Valerie's head while Gabriel put in her ring on her fourth hand.They had finally agreed to get married and now that was done, her best friend still hadn't arrived. She contacted her and told her of her wedding day yet she didn't show up.“You've been watching outside frequently. are you expecting someone? ”“Yes, Alexa promised she'd be here. Maybe she just lied to get me out of her phone, or she is just avoiding here cause you Ray is also here too ”“Oh that is true. Does he know? ” Gabriel whispered into her ears while taking her to the backroom. He closed her eyes and opened it with a surprised look. Valerie gasped and ran to Alexa and embraced her.“Happy wedding Valerie!” Alexa smiled. Her smile made Va
Meanwhile....Valerie jumped through all the messy snack nylons on the ground to the chair, laid her head on Gabriel's lap and pushed in some chips in his mouth.“Open my big baby!” She jokingly teased him while he munched on the single chips and then swallowed it. His eyes was concentrated on the document he was typing so as not to make mistake with the letters.The documents was all about shares of the LR corps being transfered to the young miss as compensation for the big boss's frequent behavior of ignoring her.“You are always working! When can you stop and focus on me for one day ”“I wished my dear but you know how the workload of the LR corps is. It is a busy company with branches opened up in different locations. Obviously, there is suppose to be some heavy workload. ”“Then why do you have to bear it all? ” Valerie's upset and sassy mouth resurfaced as she put away the chips along with th
Jack stared at his son confusedly. Just how much did this boy love her so much that he his such crucial truth from her. Anyway, no matter how long he thinks he can hide it, she would find out one day.“Ray, listen up. You have to let her know. She is your blood and she deserves to know. You can't keep her in the dark. Yesterday, she dropped off to see your mother. Did you know how guilty your mother felt when she saw Alexa's current position? ”“Lexa came to see me? Why did not tell me?!” He jerked up from the couch with his face angry.Jack smirked at his response. So under this arrogant mask, he still very much cared and looked after her secretly, so why then did he now avoid her? When he received a call from Ray's personal maid about how Lexa felt, his heart broke into tears and decided to talk some sense into his son.“You better let her know and stop all this. Once you lose her, I am not sure you'd be able to find someone
“Pick up the call Ray, you are scaring me!” She sobbed in her palms, repeated the phone call again, and got the same response. Her calls were not going through because he kept declining her calls.She was damn confused and sobbed harder. Weren't they clear on loving each other without the child? Why did he suddenly ignore her every day after since the death of their unborn child?!“Madam, maybe he is busy to answer the phone call. You can try later. ” Miss Naomi tried her best to give some comforting words. She herself found Ray's attitude quite suspicious too, what happened to the super couple?“Busy?! That is a lie. He keeps ignoring my call and avoiding me. What is wrong with him? He wasn't like this before. Ray, don't hurt me like this please ” Her brightly shining tears dropped from her eyes until her eyes turned red.Miss Naomi helped to clean off Lexa's tears and took her to the bathroom to have a bath. Whatever was
He told her, bent his back and raised her up. He wrapped her around his back and brought his hands to his front and saw blood.“Lexa, are you alright?!” His eyes became worried as more blood was seen from where she was seating tied with rope and more dropping. “What is going wrong?”“Ray, I don't know. Ouch! I.....” Alexa yelled with force. “The baby! Help!” She shivered in pain as Ray ran quickly shooting anybody that came in his way. He jumped into the helicopter and supported her in his arms and ordered Miles to fly the helicopter to the hospital.Within five minutes, they arrived at the hospital with Alexa bleeding quickly. He ran into the ICu room called for help and rollers came out from the room, pushing her to the theatre.The others came running to the hospital including Valerie. Good news that she was found and saved but now, she was bleeding to death. What a bad Luck. Along with Valerie came her broth
Khloe removed her sunglasses, smiled towards Lexa and together, they went to have a talk in the boxing ring.“I......have something to say to you ” Lexa started the conversation as the two women were not ready to talk to each other. They were rivals in love chasing after one boy, so it would be unlike them to talk to each other.“Let me go first. Alexa, I am sorry for what I have done to you. I hated you so much because I was blinded by fake love. Ray And I have been childhood sweethearts and even dated for two months before I moved with my Uncle to the US. To be frank with you, I was jealous! I called you so many names all with fact that, you were better than me ”“I recall the day we officially met and you introduced yourself as his wife. I was so damn jealous that I was about to strangle myself. I did not know Ray would move on without me and even ignored our years of love, or I thought that he loved me ”“I fo
“He is associated with the underworld and many of his life history is a mystery. It is too dangerous. If you live me, I promise to make you happy for the rest of your life ” He tied his bleeding wrist with the table cloth.“Felix, are you somehow deaf?! Okay, Ray is not worthy of me, neither would you be. Let me put this straight to you, I don't see you as a man. I can't like you. ”“Why! Why! tell me! I am sure that cunning Ray has bewitched you into loving him. I know a cleanser that could relieve you off the bondage. I just ask you to love me back, Lexa!” He continued to stress on the matter.So all this while he had been with Alexa, she never even for once fancied him, has he been living in fantasy all this while? The truth was bitter and yet, he rejected it and blamed Ray for everything.Why won't he blame him? He was the main culprit why he could not get to Alexa. Every of his schemes to have her all failed and now th
“You are so naive! That is not how a relationship works, Valerie ” Gabriel snapped back at her, pushed her away from his view and moved to the exit of the room. “It requires trust and love. Just you knowing your feelings doesn't count. Feelings go and come which doesn't mean that you truly love the person!”“I know I am a naive stupid girl at love still I know what I feel when I see it. You are the one I like and I am sure of that ”“What of your other seven EX. Is that what you also told them too?”“Maybe I did. That is not the point, you're the true one as far as I know, don't ignore my feelings for you, please ”“Can't you get it?! Miss Davies, dinner would be served soon I suggest you wait in the dining room ” Gabriel emotionlessly answered her. He was done bickering with a girl who had no knowledge on relationship.“Fine! I don't want to have your dinner! You know wh
That made more sense. It was all Alexa's idea to make him free today to spend time with her, what a good babe! But, visit his parents? Won't that be too fast? They weren't even dating yet, if she came with him, it would make their relationship more complicated.Gabriel pulled his brows up with question marks written all over his head. Did she just say she wanted to see his parents with him? Was she thinking well? Or did she hit her head on something before coming out?“Why that look? I like old people ” She lied with her nose in an upright position. She hated old people, they over stressed her too much however for Gabriel, she was willing to try to like them.“You sure? My parents are not that old. Then if you say so, let us go. You just have to be careful of their questions. ” He reversed out from the lawn, drove down the road to the countryside.Hours later, they arrived at a duplex house covered in grasses and flowers with a little
