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
Several minutes in and the two were still seated on the bench, gazing at the magnificent sights before them. Only did they leave when the sky had darkened, but instead of heading home, Alexandra found herself roaming Paris’s night market with Darius by her side.Every single new thing they came to discover in the night market fascinated them and unlike the day, the streets at night seemed more calm and sophisticated.“Quinn would kill me if she found out I went to the night market without her.” Darius laughed at his words as they made a pit stop by a stand selling street snacks.“Why are you here without her anyways, I thought you both were like joined at the hip?” Alexandra asked as she threw a quick glance in his direction before turning back towards the vendor. “Two steaks on a stick, please.” She ordered.“Coming right up.” The vendor owner said and retreated into his stall to ready their orders.Darius took this chance to answer the question Alexandra had asked earlier. “Well I w
In this world, there are different types of anger. Grief, Envy, Jealousy and many more. What Lucien was currently feeling as he watched the scene in front of him unfold was Jealousy. His heart ached as he watched Darius slip the necklace around Alexandra’s neck and later on, grinned at her like a Cheshire cat.That was meant to be him. He was meant to be the person putting that necklace around Alexandra’s neck and having night walks in the street of Paris with her. But he wasn’t. He had blown his chance and instead it turned out to be some architect biker boy.Oh, just how much more ironic could his life become? He thought and in that moment, got the answer to his question.“Mr. Albrecht.” Lucas called from the front seat of his car. His voice had a hesitant edge to it that made Lucien sigh out in exhaustion.Just what else had the universe prepared for him?“What is it, Lucas?” He asked, his deep voice dripping quick with exhaustion.Lucas momentarily pitied his employer, but snapped
