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
As per Alexandra’s words, all the staffs and workers present were gathered together under Lucien’s command. Whispers travelled through the small number of crowd and each person constantly glanced at their side, muttering words to the next person beside them.In front of them all, Alexandra and Lucien stood with their arms crossed, the blonde observing each and every staff’s moves. They all seemed normal and that proved quite hard to determine the real culprit and seeing as the building was still undergoing constructional work the security camera were yet to be activated so finding the culprit wasn’t going to be as easy as when she had exposed Octavia back at the auction.She sighed. Well, no victory came easy.“I know you all are aware as to why you’re here. Just to be clear, it is concerning what had recently happened to Ms. Grey. Be it a harmless prank or an actual assault, the culprit will be punished accordingly.” Lucien’s deep voice boomed across the space they stood on, echoing
The employee in Alexandra’s grasp couldn’t do anything but squirm around in a bid to attain her freedom all the while Alexandra watched her with a bored look on her face.Why couldn’t the brunette just easily hand over her cell phone and accept her punishment? What was so hard there?“Are you fed up with your own stupidity?” Alexandra asked and tightened her grip on the brunette’s hair, causing a pain filled yelp to escape from her mouth. “Or do you want me to actually pull all your hair off?”“Let go! Please let go Madam Grey.” The employee begged. At this Alexandra harshly shoved her away and tutted.“Ah, so this dog still knows how to wag its tail.” She turned back to face Lucien and called out. “Tell me, is this how all your employees are? Planning assault on an esteemed business partner?”Lucien remained silent at her words and the blonde chuckled. “And you.” She turned back to face the brunette, briefly glancing at the name tag on her ID card. “Grace Wills, is it? Hand over my c
Lucien knew from a first glance at Alexandra Grey that he knew nothing about her. The woman he had once been married to had died the moment she signed their divorce papers and the person who was constantly in his field of vision was an entirely different person. A more developed and independent woman, yet his heart still yearned for her, different or not.“Hurt Alexa and I won’t spare you.”“Alexei doesn’t need you in her life anymore, you should understand this much and stop being a nuisance.”But obviously he had blown his chance and everyone he came across that was close to her made that clear. He wasn’t worthy of her, it was a late realization but he peacefully accepted it and decided to make himself a better man, worthy of her time, love and soul. Yet, each time he tried doing so, it seemed like there was always an invisible barrier separating their worlds.Each time he encountered her, she’d always be cold towards him and more than that, there was always this look that settled o
Alexandra pulled out her laptop and got to work while seated in the back of her moving vehicle. With little to no effort, she had permanently locked Harrison out of the data base and cleaned up any nasty track he might have left.After the blonde was done, she relaxed back and gazed at her laptop’s screen with folded arms and a satisfied smirk on her face.“That’d teach him to know better than sending his dog to snoop around my business.” She said and closed the lid of her laptop, placing it away the next second and finally closing her eyes for some well deserved sleep.Michael smirked from the front seat as he had watched her through the car’s rare view mirror. He rarely saw his employer get into action this way and each time he did, her skills still remained as astonishing as ever.The rest of the ride towards her apartment, Alexandra kept her eyes shut, getting some well needed sleep, with satisfaction flowing thick through her veins. When they arrived at the place she would be sta
