The news of Benjamin and Daniel’s arrest spread like wild fire. Within two days since the incident, many news station and journalists had sent Alexandra a request for an interview. Of course being the woman she was, the blonde flat out denied all their interviews and focused on work, seeing as her workload had been doubled due to Michael’s absence. However, there seemed to be a certain journalist who was hell bent on getting an interview.Unlike the rest and the ones before her-Annabel Cross- the female was persistent and in the two days since the incident she had sent over a hundred requests, not for once sleeping or relaxing on the go when Alexandra rejected her interview. It was getting annoying for the blonde, but what could she do, Annabel was simply doing her job to put food on her table, she knew that, and that was one of the reasons why she hadn’t requested an order for her to stay away.Today being one of the two days since the incident, Alexandra gave the letter in her hand
Isabella Rossi. The name on ‘Natalie’s’ Patient plate red Isabella Rossi, not Natalie Marsh.Alexandra blinked her eyes in confusion. She glanced at the woman lying in the bed, sleeping, and then back at the patient plate.What in hell’s ass was she reading? Those two names were clearly different, yet she was looking at the same woman with the same features of the person who she had met back at Bianchi medical center. What were the odds that the elderly woman had a twin? Zero to none, it was more than obvious that she had Lied to Alexandra.The main question was why? Why mask her identity and approach the blonde only to disappear later? Alexandra couldn’t wrap her head around it, she may have been a planning expert but this seemed beyond her.“How did you meet my mother again?” Cory’s voice boomed from behind. Alexandra tore her gaze off the sleeping woman and turned to face her aunt. She watched as the woman placed a bouquet of synthetic flowers into a flower vase and arranged them b
Nova sat in the chair beside a hospital bed. Her lush blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders and stooped by her backbone as she stared down at the newly life given infant with an eye blinding smile. In the bed beside her, Cory sat upright, an infant of her own being held within her grasp.Both babies yawned almost rhythmically causing the two best friends to coo at the children.“She’s so beautiful.” Nova cooed at the child in her arms, watching as she flared her tiny little arms in the air. Nova brought the cute action to an end as she inserted her index finger in the baby’s tiny palm, creating an even cuter interaction. “She has her mother’s eyes.” She said and brushed away several of her baby blonde hair.The little child made a noise in delight and gaggled on her saliva.Cory sighed and pulled her gaze away from her now sleeping child. “Don’t say that Nova, you are her mother.”The blonde woman finally looked away from the baby in her arms at the words of her best friend. She for
It was like he had spoken utter rubbish.It was the first time since she had become ‘Alexandra Grey’ that Lucien saw the look of surprise on her face. Her doll gray eyes expanded almost inhumanly as she stared at him, dumbstruck by his words.Well, what other reaction had he expected after saying such a thing? At that moment, it felt like he had been remotely controlled to voice those words. But he was regretting it, all he did was have the courage to speak when the heat had gotten too much.For someone who has been praised endlessly as Seattle’s business tycoon, he sure did mellow in the presence of the woman who drove his crazy both day and night. And this was more the reason why he needed to speak his mind now. They were no longer high school students who played hooky with their likes and dislikes and he didn’t need to keep using the excuse of business to see her when he wanted.He knew that if he hadn’t taken this step now, then slowly but surely, Alexandra was going to be snatche
It was raining.Alexandra stood by the window, staring outside and watching as the rain drop went down her window. It came as a surprise to her when the heavens had opened their doors down on the earth, sprinkling little drops of water to nourish the ground below during the hot summer heat. The blonde rarely ever enjoyed summer because of many reasons, one of them being the hot atmosphere, but today was different; it was somewhat cold, at least for the short amount of time it was going to rain.Sighing, she pulled away from the window and sank down into the comfortable mattress of her bed, closing her eyes and shaking her head in a bid to clear her cloudy mind. She had much better things to think of, yet here she was, allowing Lucien’s half assed words to get to her. Throughout the day that had been the only thing she could think off. Suddenly hearing those types of words from him did indeed frazzle up her brain, but not in the way she had once expected.Her heart hadn’t been beating
When Eleanor had suggested they meet in a restaurant, Alexandra hadn’t expected her to come all alone and unarmed without body guards. So when Eleanor had sank down into the seat across hers without any suspicious movement, Alexandra found herself looking around.“Let’s get straight to the point.” Eleanor said as she sat down, her posture emitting nothing but elegance and her years of olden experience. “I want all this to end; family shouldn’t be going through such difficulties while facing each other.”Her words made Alexandra’s face morph into disgust. What the hell was she saying? End everything? How ironic her words sounded.“Grandmother, this isn’t why I was called out. I’ve kept up to your terms of the deal, so, relinquish the documents concerning the company’s shares that you have in your possession.”Eleanor reached into her bag without any form of hesitation and pulled out the document. She placed it on the table, her fingers still lingering on it as she stared at Alexandra.
The night was cold. Water washed up to Alexandra’s bare foot as she stood by the bank of one of Seattle’s most beautiful beaches. She swiftly inhaled the fresh beach breeze and just as quietly, released it through her parted lips.A peaceful night being spent by the outer banks of a beautiful beach after a tensed talk with her grandmother. She liked that. And to whom did she owe this gratitude of hers to?Obviously it belonged to the hunk who was currently approaching her, glasses of fresh juice held between his fingers. Darius Perce. Alexandra watched him with her hands folded, and only when he had come to stand in front of her did she unfold them and accept the generous offering he offered her.“Thank you.” She muttered whilst taking the glass off his hand and immediately took a sip. She sighed out once more and turned to face the dark ocean, paying attention however when Darius quietly took his spot beside her. Quietly, they both stood side by side and sipped on their juices while
“You’re leaving?” Darius asked as he slides out of the caves entrance after Alexandra, watching as she began to walk back on the path they had come from. Her entire temperament had changed, from being at peace and bubbly to suddenly being angry and stoic. Then again, that was always how she had been. Today had just been an exception.“I have things to take care of, Darius.” Alexandra informs while matching forward on the cold sand, barefooted. “Thanks for showing this cave to me, but I have work to attend to now.” She called out and waved her hand in the air, increasing her pace in a bid to get back to where they had once stood on the beach and retrieve her shoes.And God so help Vivian if when she reaches her company and still sees her making a fuss. She thought and increased her pace in the sand, feeling her feet sink in and pull back out with each step she took on the sand. Darius matched her pace, falling in right beside her.“Work?” He questioned once more as they began to emerge
