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
Being home for the first time in a few months hit hard. Seattle's air felt different and so did the atmosphere. It was almost like she had stepped into a new universe entirely and Alexandra hated it.A scoff escaped her lips as she pulled off her sunglasses and descended the stairs of her private jet, only stopping momentarily to view the walk way of her private airport.Michael had powers in his words, enchanting ones that always seemed to confuse and convince her, it was by those words that he had convinced her to leave three days earlier than Lucien's crew."Work here is done and so far, looks like it's good to me. We best return early as to avoid work back at home piling up." The assistant had told her the very next day after her exploration through Paris's night market.She was bombed, no lie there, but somewhat eager to return to her home town. She wanted to know what other plans her family had in store for her and wanted to discourage their every move. Plus, she was half glad s
Game over wasn't a word that existed in Eleanor's dictionary, it didn't from the beginning and wouldn't start now. She'd rather give it her all rather than backing out half way. It was either go big or go home that was a motto she was raised with throughout her childhood and live by up till this very moment. And obviously it was not a hard motto to live up to. With all the power and authority she had after marrying into the Grey family and establishing her authority, making people bend to her will had been easy and effortless, or so she thought until she encountered Alexandra.The first day she met the blonde after twelve years of her fateful disappearance, she looked like a radiant sun that shone in every corner, bringing those in the dark out and casting those who chose the darkness away. It was like her very own unspoken and unofficial motto.She was going to be a problem. Eleanor had thought after her first failed attempt of bending Alexandra to her will. After that day, the elder
Alexandra watched as her grandmother walked away with an expressionless face. Despite all the older woman had said she allowed none bother her, at least none except for her very last words."When you wake the sleeping dragon, get ready to suffer the consequences. If you believe you've seen all my trick then boy would you be surprised to know I have a few extra up my sleeves."Eleanor had turned on her heels and stomped away after saying this, leaving Alexandra in the wondering state she currently was.She hadn't seen all of Eleanor's tricks? What else could the elderly woman could have been hiding that she knew nothing of?"Whatever." She muttered and quickly brushed the thought aside. Who knew, maybe that was just some baseless threat Eleanor threw her way in other to scare her.Well, if it indeed was, she wasn't going to fall for it and she sure as hell wasn't shaking in her heels.Prying her eyes off Eleanor's leaving vehicle, Alexandra turned around to head into the building but s
