That same night, when Eliana arrived home, her father had been waiting for her in the living room."You've returned late." Those were his first words to her as she stepped in.The young girl bowed her head in an apologetic manner. "I was out with Chloe and lost track of the time. It won't happen again.""Come here." Hugh demanded, ignoring her apology. She inhaled slightly before rushing to her father's side. There he pulled out his phone and showed her the exact same tabloid Chloe had gone frantic about. "Do you know this woman?""No." Eliana answered without hesitation. Although she had ran into Alexandra, knew her name and a few other things about her as per her search earlier in the day, she didn't know the blonde well enough to say she knew her.However, she planned to change that, after all, in order for her plan to work she needed to get close to Alexandra one way or another."Exactly, so why is she Lucien's rumored fiancée and not you? Did you fail at doing your job right once
Zion drove towards the hospital without hesitation while Alexandra quietly sat in the back. Less than fifteen minutes later they arrived at the hospital and Alexandra stepped out after Zion had held the door open.She instructed him, along with the single bodyguard who had followed her to stay outside while she went inside.Almost instantly she spotted Alistair by the reception thanks to his unique build and bright yellow hair just like hers."Alistair." She called out his name after she had walked close and the male spun around almost immediately.Alexandra scanned him from head to toe, making sure that there were no injuries on him before quietly sighing."What mischief have you committed this time around." She reprimanded him like a mother.Alistair felt unfair, seeing as he was the older one in them both yet Alexandra was always the one who did the scolding.He stepped forward, about to defend himself against her scolding when a familiar voice from behind drew Alexandra's attentio
After Alexandra and Alistair had left, Eliana stepped out from the hospital room she had entered and just like Alexandra has observed, there was no longer a limp in her steps.But Eliana of course didn't know this. She thought she had played her cards well.Walking towards the trashcan, she glanced inside and saw that Alexandra had indeed thrown away she drink she had offered. When she was leaking from her hospital room and saw this happen she thought she had simply been hallucinating.The Alexandra Grey people spoke of on the internet and many other places wasn't that heartless and inconsiderate. Yet, turns out that even the internet exaggerated things and was unaware of a persons true colors.Carefully reaching Into the trashcan, she fished out the drink and stared at it solemnly.How dare Alexandra throw away something she had given? Ungrateful people like her ought to be taught their places.Eliana thought as her grip around the can tightened. Just then she heard a familiar voice
Lucien stared up at his house, Lucas standing right behind him.His house. He thought. Yet it held so many unwanted guest and many others. As of late, he really didn't want to be stepping foot inside his own house, but what could he do? Its not like he could suddenly change his residence and buy another house somewhere in the city and even though he could, why leave his permanent residence for a bunch of flees. His father had placed an awful lot of amount into building this house up to where it was and he had no intention of abandoning it.Thinking of his father reminded him of the reason he was here and not at his office and the call that he had received.Back at the office, after Lucien had received the call from the unknown number, he did not hesitate to answer the phone and placed it near his ear."Who is this?" He coldly asked and much to his belief, the voice that greeted his ear surprised him."You unruly child. Is this how you treat your father after everything I've done for y
"You say what?" Leon asked, unbelieving of all his son had just told him.Lucien had explained the whole situation to Leon while crossing his finger. He had forgotten for a split second that apart from his late wife, Leon cherished the young girl who reminded him so much of his wife's kind heart. And to hear that his own son had chased her out of the house, he wasn't taking to lightly to it."We've divorced father." Lucien solemnly repeated once more with his head hung low. He could feel his father's rage steaming right off his body and dared not raise his head. It was understandable. Alexandra, or at least Ariadne as his father knew her, was a diamond in the rough. The perfect daughter in law without a flaw and a companion with the beauty of a siren, sadly he had realized all these pretty late."I can understand your anger father, but if you would please listen to..." Lucien's explanation was interrupted as he felt a sharp pain pierced the skin on his forehead and seconds later the s
Her father?Alexandra could not understand the words of her assistant. She was totally confused and left in a state of upheaval."My father?" She finally pulled the courage to ask."Yes, certain, those were her exact words." Zion nodded his head in certainty.Alexandra glanced back at Alistair with a knowing gaze. Last she remembered and the fact was concerted in her mind, both her parents were dead, which only left that slot open for her 'biological father.'Talk about bad timing. Alexandra thought and bit the inside of her lips. She couldn't avoid anymore screw ups in her plans. If her 'biological' father showing up meant Eleanor could grab ahold of her weak point then she wanted him gone."Thank you for relaying the message, Zion. Prepare the car as quickly as possible, I'll be heading home now." She told the assistant with a calm smile and waited until he had rushed off to do his task before turning to Alistair, but the male had already read her gaze earlier and spoke up before sh
Alexandra stood on the balcony of her house facing the entrance and watched as Lucien along with his father, walked towards their car to leave. Leon casted a look at her one last time before he enter. She could see the sorrow and sadness swimming in his Blue familiar eyes and for a moment, felt sad.However, she was quick to recover and bowed her head briefly, sending him off with a professional smile as he stepped into his car and the vehicle drove off."Alexandra." Her attention was drawn by the sound of Isabella's voice.She tore her gaze away and turned to stare at the elderly woman, flashing a smile."What was that all about?" Isabella finally voiced her curiosity. Throughout the whole situation she had remained silent but this time she wanted to know.At Isabella's question, Alexandra blinked her eyes hollowly and the incidents from minutes ago flashed in her mind.After she had introduced herself to Leon and remained her composure, the man seemed dumbfounded by the sudden revel
A few days quietly went by after the whole incident with Leon and Lucien.Alexandra took the merit to busy herself- despite the warning and constant nagging she received from Darius and Isabella alike- as the business awards were lesser days away.However, in spite of the piles and piles of paper placed out on her table- several in need of her approval and several to be discarded- Alexandra found her mind wandering back to when she had met Leon, Lucien's father.It would be a lie if she were to say she didn't feel guilty for the way she treated him.Leon, back in the days, had been friendly, loving and the nearest thing she had to a father figure and his late wife, she was one to constantly sing praises about, even now that she was six feet under.Alexandra had lived with them for about two years, taking care of Leon's late wife before Lucien had sipped into the picture. She instantly recognized him without a second passing by and felt her silent love ignite.However, even now, she kn
