Darius stepped out from the building behind him and tucked his phone into his pocket after sighing.Just how long has he wasted asking for assistance from his head strong father? Well, nevertheless, it was worth it.He had gotten the elderly man to assign a squad to look for Alexandra, and the price was considerably cheap. A dinner with him and his wife. Nothing a few gaging and fake smiles couldn’t solve.Darius thought and felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and was surprised to see that the squad his father had assigned had already tracked down the license plate number and was on route to the destination. A location had been sent to him along with this and Darius rushed towards his car, eager to have Alexandra back, safe and sound.No matter the price, it was all worth it as long as she came back to him safe.** ** ** **Play superman was much harder than Alexandra had anticipated. Especially when she was tied to a chair and restricted from moving in the highest
Life had flashed before Alexandra’s eyes in seconds and everything seemed to come to a stand still.Ah, so was this how it ended for her? Dying at the hands of some worthless chump who couldn’t even distinguish between right and wrong?The thought baffled her, but more than that, she felt her heart tighten and anger surge through her as her entire plan and sacrifice so far melted away into nothingness.After everything she had done, said and been through at the hands of Eleanor, she was now going to be wasted without carrying out her final wishes. Without seeing the look on Eleanor’s face when she was put behind bars for her wrong doings and crimes.If that was the case, then everything so far was useless and more than ever, she felt like a failure. Cory had died because of her recklessness and yet, she wouldn’t be able to bring the person who brought her abrupt end to justice.Those thoughts were more demoralizing than any other thing and for the first time since the whole kidnapping
Alexandra opened her eyes to the familiar ceiling design of Grey Medical center VIP room. She remained still for a while, staring blankly at the ceiling above before a thought hit her.What happened?She blinked at the thought, only ever having a memory of passing out a while ago.As she wondered why, she turned her head to the side to find Darius seated in one of the comfy chairs in her room, but his head was buried in his arms and she assumed that he might have snoozed off while watching over her.This made a smile tug at the corner of her lips. He was so considerate that it warmed her heart.Alexandra closed her eyes for a few seconds before gently peeling them open and trying to seat up properly on her bed.The sound of her rustling sheets must have disturbed Darius because seconds after she had succeeded in seating up, he was beside her and looking down at her like she was some fragile piece of ornament.“You’re awake; how do you feel?” He cautiously asked, keeping his voice low.
Alexandra stood in front of her hospital room window, staring down at the scenery with a vacant mind.The view outside was beautiful, but unlike usually, the blonde failed go appreciate it. With a blank mind and a life growing inside of her, what could she appreciate.Unknowingly, her hand went down and touched her stomach. When she felt the skin beneath her dress, her eyes narrowed.How could she have been ten weeks pregnant? Had the whole day been so hectic that she had forgotten to take the pills the day she had sex with Darius?Perhaps. That seemed like the only reasonable solution and explanation and even the time span matched up.But how hadn’t she noticed it until now? Alexandra thought back to her previous weeks. Sure she had felt tired every now and then but took it as her overworking and her lose of appetite, she simply chugged it up to her being stressed out.The only sign she had ever experienced was when she suddenly felt queasy during dinner with Darius, but even then, s
As per the doctor’s words, Alexandra still needed to stay in the hospital for a while day for check up and examinations to be carried out on her and the baby.An ultrasound was done and as soon as Alexandra saw the image of her growing baby, she felt all doubt wipe from her mind and Darius he experienced a happiness even he didn’t know was possible.Motherhood was a beautiful gifts despite the tremors in her life. She had thought by the time they both stepped out of the ultrasound room, each with a picture of their growing fetus and a thin smile on their lips.A whole day had gone by after that and Alexandra was finally discharged from the hospital. With a few words from her doctor on what and what’s to expect, she was let off and minutes later, seated in the passenger seat of Darius’s car and on a drive back home.Through out the drive back, Darius constantly stole glances in her direction, making sure she was okay and not feeling nauseous or sort. When Alexandra notices this, she ca
“I’ll entrust the key to you.”Isabella had told Alexandra as she handed the blonde the keys to Cory’s apartment.Alexandra stared up at the bronze key in her hand as she walked through the halls of her house and towards the balcony where she bad last seen Darius.After she had asked Isabella for the key and the elderly woman had given it to her, they all say down and has dinner, not touching any heavy subject while they did so.After that, Alistair had said he had more work to tend to and suddenly left, although it didn’t take Alexandra more than a few minutes to realize what was going on and as she watched him drive out from the window of her room, apartment key clenched tightly within her hand, she hoped that the male knew what he was doing, for his own sake.And now, here she was, walking towards the balcony in search of Darius. It clicked with her that it could be the only place he’d go to for fresh air and as expected, the male was there when she stepped in, but he seemed to foc
Lucien Albrecht. It had taken Alexandra quite a while, but she soon came to know that he was akin to a pest. Always finding a way to worm his way back into her life and twisting everything up.Alexandra gritted her teeth. Today was the last of it! She has had enough of him walking into her life and affairs like he owned her or like he had some sort of right to do so.At first she had felt like there was still a chance for them, a silver lining that linked them back together, but then she realized Lucien had simply been projecting his unreturned love for Octavia unto her and that ruined everything beyond repair.It irritated her and for months she had put up with it all in the name of her Company, but now, six months had gone by and she… correction, Grey enterprise no longer wanted to work with him.Peeling her gaze away from his figure below, she glanced at Darius, half glad that he hadn’t noticed him yet while he was still tied up in the thought of them being lovers.She found it cut
“Mr. Albrecht, let’s dissolve the contract between both our companies and end this complicated relationship between for good.”Lucien felt the ground beneath him shake and his heart sank. What was she saying? End the contract between their companies? Their complicated relationship? He refused to hear even a single word on this topic any longer.Whatever breeze had been blown in her ear along with that idea had to be stopped.“Alexandra, listen…” He began, but before he could go pass more than a few words, Alexandra brutally interrupted him.“I know I’ve said this tons of times in the past and you ignored it and I, well I let it slide, but it’s enough of that. My name, to you is Ms. Grey or better yet President Grey.” She corrected him harshly yet her expression remained the same almost as if she was talking to a child who was yet to graduate from preschool.Lucien felt his mouth dry. Not only was his pride being reduced to nothing, but his effort to get closer to her each time was bei
