Pain.Alexandra regretted her choice to play the heroine the moment her body landed on the first stair and began rolling down until the very last. For a moment, she laid unmoving on the floor, allowing the pain to sink in as people began to gather around her and Octavia, gasping and whispering.Her head hurt badly, spinning in several direction and at some point things seemed to have blurred out for the briefest second, because when they came back to focus, she was being helped up by someone and what made matters even more confusing was that Lucien stood at the top of the stairs staring down at her with wide concern filled eyes.“Alexandra are you okay? Please say something.” It was only after the person helping her up had spoken that she recognized who they were by their voice.Slowly, still under the influence of the pain, she turned her head to the side and just as she had thought, relief washed over her the moment her eyes locked with familiar hazel green ones.“God damn it, Alexa
It was a thought that had slipped into Alexandra’s mind in quick seconds. It disappeared just as quickly as it had come, but nevertheless, it left a new feeling roaming her mind. Death, it was such a blissful punishment; too pure for the sin the people surrounding her had committed.She wasn’t going to grant them such a means to escape their impending fate neither was she going to stoop to their level and dirty her hands. There was a saying that went like this; if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. But what if that saying was wrong and what if you could get people to do things for you without getting your own hands dirty.Like having a bunch of executioners waiting at your every call. The thought of it alone opened Alexandra’s eyes up to a new way of revenge and seated in the back of the ambulance, she couldn’t help but chuckle.Darius who was seated beside her glanced in her direction, his eyes narrowing into slits the moment he spotted the leering smirk on her face.
A few solid minutes had gone by before Michael returned holding three cans of chill drinks."Ms. Grey." He said and politely handed the drink to her, passing it to Darius right after. The noirette mumbled words of thanks as he received his share and popped the lid open.The drink made a satisfying sound that made all three in the room thirst for their drinks even more."Ms. Grey, would you like me to check out the site tomorrow in your stead?" Michael asked after he had taken a sip from his drink and appreciating the way the cold liquid had helped calm his nerves down.At the mention of the main matter at hand, Alexandra's eyes widened. She had totally forgotten about the visitation to the business site tomorrow. Ah, now she had to move around in crutches. What a hassle."Ms. Grey?" Michael persisted.Raising her hand, Alexandra waved him off. "There won't be any need for that.i'll see to the site by myself.""Like hell you would." Darius sarcastically shot from where he sat. When Ale
A baby? Octavia Barrette is pregnant?The shock delivered by the news was written clear on both Alexandra and Lucien’s face. No one had expected the bombshell of a news and the effect left them momentarily stunned, of course except from the doctor who was currently reading the medical details off from his clipboard thinking and believing that he was delivering good news."Ms. Barrette is currently four months pregnant.” The doctor went on to further inform.Four months? Alexandra felt her heart twinge. Lucien couldn’t have waited any longer after getting rid of her. To believe he was in the arms of another woman less than two months after their divorce angered her, and for the fact that that woman turned out to be the very same person whom had humiliated her and made her life a living hell only further fueled her anger.But what seemed to make her hatred grow all the more way the fact that Octavia had been aware of her situation, yet she dared do what she did? Putting an innocent’s ch
Words alone could not describe how lightweight Alexandra felt as she stepped out of Octavia’s room. It felt good to have hit the witch and more than that, it felt good telling the obvious truth to her face.The blonde sighed and straightened her posture as she continued roaming the hospital grounds on her crutches, trying to get whatever fresh air she could before returning to the room. When she stepped into the comfort of her room, Darius was already seated back in his original spot, phone in hand and a pen in his other. He somewhat seemed focused on a drawing he had sketched down in the little time she had been gone and only realized she had entered the room after the blonde plopped down on her bed.“You back?” He called out while gently placing the pen down and his phone away. He folded up the paper he had been drawing on and fixed his gaze on Alexandra.She nodded her head to his question and exhaled. “I really needed that walk.” She mused and afterwards, turned her gaze on him wi
Lucien felt enraged after his conversation with Darius. He had just about tolerated enough, starting from Octavia down to Darius and it was about time that he cut down on the amount of people who were now taking him for a fool. And the first person on his list was Octavia, Darius's case would have to come a little later, after all, he doesn't plan on using his entire time in Paris for callous things. He was a man of business and business he was going to do.Standing in front of Octavia's hospital wing, Lucien inhaled deeply before opening the door. On the inside, the petit noirette stood with her back facing the door and her eyes and figure facing the vast scenery outside the window.She heard the sound of the door opening and closing, followed by shuffle of Lucien's shoe sound, but chose to ignore them all."Why are you here?" Lucien was the first to break the silence that hung between them in the room. "And how did you know I was in Paris?" He further went on to question after she r
The hours that followed Alexandra's stay in her hospital wing that day went by in a flash. Quinn who had heard of the situation from Darius came rushing down in hours and when she was in the room, she couldn't help but Express her discontent with the whole situation."The nerves of that girl." She had huffed out after Darius had finished explaining the whole situation to her. Now she had one more person to add to her hate list.Alexandra who quietly sat back and watched the whole scene on fold before her eyes was somewhat happy. Seeing someone else angry in her stead was a warm feeling to her icing heart.A few more hours were spent talking and laughing in all and by the time the duo of friends were ready to take their leave, Alexandra was feeling all smiley."Just call if you need anything." Quinn said as they walked out the door and waved each other goodbye.Alexandra nodded her head in agreement even though she knew she wouldn't be calling and just as Darius was about to step out,
"Huh?"Alexandra blinked her eyes at the door, confused at the whole situation.What the hell had just happened? One second she was talking with her grandmother and the next she's being shoved into a storage room? What the hell?!She sighed out in annoyance and quickly patted through her pocket, searching for her phone. Her movement abruptly came end when she could not feel the rectangular shaped object. Exasperated breaths passed through her lips as she recalled the device had slipped out of her fingers when she had been shoved into the room.'A sneaky attack befitting that of a villain.' She thought with a scoff.Stepping forward, the blonde gently banged her fist against the metal door."Michael? Michael can you hear me?! Anyone?!" She yelled at the top of her lunges but sadly, her attempts were in valid. "You've got to be kidding me." She huffed out and slammed her fist against the door once more, hissing only seconds later as she had accidentally applied too much weight on her sp
