“Shall I let her come through, Sir?” Lucas questioned, unsure of what type of action he should take.“Yes, please send her in immediately.” Lucien replied, much to his surprise. The man he knew barely received unplanned visitors except they were of top priority.“Understood.” Lucas quickly wiped the look of surprise off his face and bowed his head, turned around and then left. Seconds later, Eleanor walked into his office after a soft knock.Contrary to how he had once remembered her, the elderly woman looked well polished. She was currently dressed in a light red gown, heels of matching colors and a black handbag. He watched her slip into the chair opposite him with Elegance. She crossed her legs and arranged her fingers in the center of her laps all the while entwining them. Her style of seating reminded him of Alexandra’s own ways. Well, that wasn’t much of a surprise seeing as she was Alexandra’s grandmother.The apple doesn’t fall far from the three after all. He thought, but oh
The motion sensor placed above the prison door buzzed as it was pulled open. Benjamin, along with a guard walked in. In the visitor chair, Eleanor sat, her hands arranged on the table in front of her as she watched her son approach. After sitting him down and giving him a brief amount of time, the guard moved away to the furthest corner of the room and waited.“What are you doing here, mother?” Benjamin asked with a sigh. His expression looked disheveled and almost unnatural. Seeing this, Eleanor felt the strings of her heart being tugged on painfully. All she ever wanted was to secure her son’s future, yet, here they were, locked behind bars and awaiting judgment.“How are you, Benjamin?” She asked as her eyes fluttered and glossed over. No matter how heartless she may seem, no one was heartless towards their very own family and no mother could stand seeing her son in cuffs and branded as a criminal. It was just too emotionally wrecking.“How do you expect me to be?!” Benjamin was fu
Syrian had nothing useful to say and ended up being escorted out of the company after kicking up a fuss and yelling at Alexandra, telling her she knew nothing about who she was messing with. The blonde merely yawned as she remained seated in her couch, watching as he was escorted out of her company, she had seen plenty of his kind and wasn't fazed in the littlest.After he had finally been taken care of, Alexandra stood up and proceeded to her office. On her way into the elevator, Selena approached her with a phone in her hand.“Ms. Grey, someone’s on the line for you. He says he’s a judge from the court of law.”A judge from the court of law? Alexandra questioned herself. It only took a second before things clicked in her head. Ah, a judge from the court of law. How could she have forgotten?“I’ll take the call.” She said and collected the phone from Selena, bidding her away as she stepped into the elevator and clicked on her floor.“Judge Han, Greetings. I’ve been expecting your cal
Fresh screams of agony came from Anthony as Alexandra matched down on his hand with her heels. At some point she was sure she had heard a crunching sound come from below, but it was not like she cared, he at least deserved this much.“Now listen,” Alexandra began and leaned down, increasing the weight on Anthony’s already injured palm and earn another round of screams from him. “This is how it is going to go… hey, hey, shut up.” She instructed and brought her index finger to rest against her red glossed lips. Only when Anthony seemed to have lessened his noise making did she continue. “Now, this is how it is going to go; I’m going to take my foot off your hand and you’re going to walk out of here like nothing ever happened and you will never disturb Quinn again. And if you as much as think of harming me the moment I set you free…” she flicked her finger in the direction above his head. “That right there my friend is a CCTV and once I send the footage of all that has transpired here do
“Alexandra, thanks once again.” Quinn said and gently bowed her head while Alexandra waved back at her from her car. She had finished her appointment with Madam Williams, picked out several dresses and had quality tea time in the process.All in all, she was satisfied and convinced that she could now go back to work without unwanted thoughts roaming her mind.She waved one final time to Quinn before slipping into the driver’s seat of her vehicle. Straight back to her office she drove. Along the way, Alexandra felt relaxed, but not relaxed enough. Her mind and soul craved a certain relaxation and at peace feeling and before she knew it, she was taking a swift corner and driving in the direction opposite her company. With her mind taking the wheel, the blonde drove towards the direction of the beach she had been at a few days ago. She could just vaguely remember the route and it took her under fifteen minutes to arriveWhen she arrived, parked her car and stepped out, the fresh scent of
The sun had gone down about a few hours ago. Alexandra now felt more calm as she sat down in the sand with her legs pulled close to her chest, Darius sat beside her and they both continued to stare at the ocean, throwing in small talks here and there and surprisingly laughing to jokes brought up by one another.It was like they had known each other more than four months, more like old high school class mates that were holding their reunion and the only thing that had been missing in their midst was chilled drinks and snacks to munch on while chatting away.Alexandra had just finished laughing to one of Darius’s dad jokes that she weirdly found funny when she remember the conversation they had shared while sharing her snacks back at the café close to her company. She didn’t know if it was the right time to speak of it, but was still curios.“So, how’s that dream of yours coming along?” She asked while tucking her hair behind her ear as the breeze consistently pushed it around.Darius t
Alexandra was an enigma.That much was clear to Darius. She was like a spirited away ghost that didn’t want anybody’s help in carrying out its vengeance. Scary at times but passionate and he respected that and some part of him also wished he had the type of passion and burning fire she did. Maybe then he’d have been able to see to it that his mother was brought to justice.Darius admired that about her and couldn’t help replaying the conversation they had held both now and the previous night as he typed in his door’s pass code and stepped in. As the security machine beeped behind him, the male took notice of the fact that there was another shoe at the door. He narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.“Quinn?” He called out and almost immediately a response came from the kitchen.“Yeah? You back?” The voice of his best friend was followed by the sound of culinary. She stepped out of the kitchen as Darius began pulling off his shoes. “You’re back early.” She eyed him. “Why?”“Am I not all
It was dark, void and cold. Darius stirred in his bed, grunting in the process as his nightmare played out.Once again, he was back in his mother’s rented apartment Eleven years ago. As usual, the dream played out like always. He argued with his mother, blamed his father and his mistress for him and his mother’s unfortunate predicament and slammed the door shut in her face, and yet again, regret filled him because of his once foolish actions.Night came as fast as it did in the real world and while all this happened, Darius was well aware, he just couldn’t do anything, fight back or speak the words he actually wanted to say. Unlike the him of eleven years ago, this version of him was different. He hadn’t stopped blaming his father for their unfortunate circumstance cause in reality he was the one whom had put them in that very position. More or less he was responsible for what had happened to Angelina. If only he had kept his heart and eyes glued on the beautiful woman, maybe then he
