Page turned. Her life was exactly as the name described it.Alexandra sighed as she pressed the final full stop on her word document and stared blankly at her half completed canvas. She couldn't concentrate. Not because of what Leon had said- she couldn't give one bullshit about getting back with Lucien- but because of the sadden expressions adorning his face the moment he had spoke his every words.Her mind was utter chaos between good and bad because of it.Swinging off her desktop, Alexandra walked towards her office window, staring at the space below even though she couldn't accurately see what was happening down below. Perks of having the presidential office. She thought and sighed out loud just when she happened to feel her phone vibrate from the inner pocket of her jacket. She reached for it, pulling out the device to glance at notification on her screen.It was a message from Stefan. Alexandra had almost forgotten he had existed up until now. Handiwork of being busy with both
Alexandra stared at the hotels picture with her long finger nails tapping rhythmically on her desk.Oh, what was she to do with a cousin who- despite all her good deeds- still had the guts to go behind her back and try to stab her?Throw him behind bars without a fuss? Or perhaps make him suffer to the point of kneeling in front of her and begging for mercy?Alexandra thought as she continued tapping her nails, only stopping when an idea suddenly entered her mind.None of those were fit enough for her to several as her final judgement towards Leonardo.Instead, she came up with a better plan. Rather than taking out the small fries and exhausting her resources, why doesn't she just sweep them all away at once and the perfect opportunity, happened to be upon her.** ** ** **Leo had spent the past hour walking around his hotel room trying to convince himself that he wasn't going crazy. His thoughts kept flitting away from whatever it was he needed to do and back again to every single co
As far back as Leonardo could remember, his hatred for Alexandra first started around when they both were twelve. Eleanor had just come back from a long stayed vacation and brought along with her a beautiful piece of art.Leonardo had taken fancy to it the very moment he laid eyes on it, but so had Alexandra.It was safe to say that was the start of their rivalry. Things slowly decreased between them after Alexandra had won the bidding for the art piece. Leonardo was pissed.Why did she get a higher up keep money than him? Why was her family more serene than his? Why did she have to be happy and not him?Those thoughts roamed young Leonardo’s head as he added the laxitive into Alexandra’s porridge and watched her mother feed it to her. The effects of his action, as like now, was far worse than he had expected.Alexandra had been bedridden for days, unable to move and sweating profusely all over. The whole house had been pushed into an uproar because of that and Leonardo soon began to
Alexandra couldn't help but chuckle as she last saw Eleanor brimming to the top with steaming anger.For some reason, she felt like this night was going to be far more interesting that she had thought it would be.May the games begin. She thought with a smirk, which instantly faded as she came face to face with Lucien.Ah, she has almost forgotten that he'd be hear at the business awards. But then again, now that she thought about it briefly, this was the first time Lucien bad ever attended the business awards in over six years.The last time he had attended it ended in a mess and thag marked the last of his presences at the business awards event. After that, she and him had gotten married a year later and not for once did he ever make an effort to go again.Yet here he was, standing in front of her, a changed man. Truly touching, but it was too bad, because his efforts were useless, just like how hers had once been.It looked like Lucien was about to speak, if Alexandra did not give
"Stefan, where are you?" Alexandra asked as she stepped out of the award parlour, phone pressed close to her ear."In front of the venue." Stefan voice bloomed from the other side, as he disclosed his current location before briefly adding. "Ready whenever you are."Alexandra replied with a coy smile that has leaked to her lips. "I'll be there in ten minutes."She hung up and took a deep breath, reminding herself that she had no time for anything but winning this fight against Eleanor.The sooner it was done, the better. She reminded herself as she swiftly marched towards the entrance of the establishment at a brisk pace, ignoring the occasional curious look cast her way by some passersby who caught sight of her.In seconds, Alexandra had already nearest the exit, about to step out when she felt someone harshly pull her back and slam her against the wall.She grunted painfully, shutting her eyes for a spilt second."What nasty tricks are you playing this time around."She heard Leonar
The first thing Alexandra notices as she stepped in was that Eleanor and Leonardo was nowhere to be seen.Ah, so those two were now playing hide and seek. Alexandra thought as she slipped into her seat with a chuckle.Just then, she felt her phone vibrate and she looked at the screen, smiling when she noticed it was a message from Darius.[Please be careful.] The message read.Almost as if reading the message, the blonde remembered that she was not alone.Before she could fly around like a fighting chicken but now she needed to be more careful. If not for her sake, then for the sake of her unborn child.Unconsciously, Alexandra's hands went to her stomach and rubbed soothing circles in them as she thought.Her attention however, was drawn back to the event at hand as Mr. Reed excitedly called on the business man of the year.Lucien stood up and lazily approached the stage. While everyone cheered and rained down praises on him, Alexandra remained still.As Lucien took the stage, accept
Alexandra was quick to dogde the next attack. She rolled out of the way in time just as the wood came down hard on the floor, dust rising from the ground.She jumped to her feet instantly, evading yet another attack from her ambusher. But just as she stepped back, a wave of dizziness swept over her, half from the hit she had taken and half being the handiwork of her unborn child.Her steps swayed and as soon as her attacker noticed this, he took the chance to attack. He swung the wood once more, and miraculously, Alexandra dodged.She took quick steps back, puting much needed distance between them as she took a fighting stance."You'd do well to know that you're on the wrong side of the table." She informed him, panting through her lips as she did so.The male smirked and held up his wood, a rather useless weapon if you asked Alexandra. But that only gave her a thought. If this man was using a wood, such a weak weapon, then he had no intention of finishing her off.Eleanor had probabl
The cheers inside the award parkour had grown severely by the time they stepped out.Alexandra made sure to support Stefan all the way as he had a limp in his step and entrusted him to the guards at the door once she came Across them.Stefan was taken for treatment and after a few words of dismissal Alexandra had managed to make sure that the incident remained unknown by other.The guards apologized deeply, bowed their heads one last time before returning to their posts.Alexandra sighed when she was finally alone and looked up at the sky. There were very few clouds as the sky had gradually darkened, the sun turning to face the other side of the earth while the moon shone down on them."I'm glad you're okay." She whispered with a shaky voice, letting her hand roam circles around her stomach as she leaned her back against the wall, letting herself enjoy this moment.That however, had not lasted more than a few seconds, as she heard the sound of approaching footsteps beside her.Turning
