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
Feeling confused, Alexandra approached the door gently and peaked through the peep hole. She was surprised to see Darius standing there and swung the door open.Immediately the door opened and Darius saw her, the male was quick to rush at her."Alexa, are you okay." He asked in corner while trying to examining her. When he noticed the purple hue on her cheek, he cupped her cheek in his palm and his gaze darkened. "What happened? How did you get that?"Alexandra was still somewhat confused. How had Darius known the location of Cory's house even when she had not told him. Of course she didn't suspect him, Darius was one of those people she trusted unconditionally even though they had only known each other for less than a year.Rather than suspecting him, she was curious."I'm fine." She answered.Darius's grip tightened on her face. "Don't lie to me, Alexa." His voice lowered into an intense tone. "Are you alright?"She nodded and shook of his hand. "I'm fine, it's just a little bruise,
Darius returned from the convenient store less than thirty minutes later and had set the table by the time Alexandra stepped out of the shower.She changed into the flannel be had worm earlier since she no longer wanted to be in bed evening gown and sat by the table."Wow." She mused while glancing over the food a big smile on her lips."Like it?" Darius asked as he took his seat beside her.Alexandra was quick to nod as she picked up her spoon and began digging in. She moaned out in delight after she had stuffed the first spoon into her mouth. Although she wasn't one to eat fast, convenient store food, as they always left a sour taste in her mouth, this one surprisingly tasted perfect and soon Alexandra found herself digging into the various dishes Darius had gotten.The male chuckled with a smile on his lips as he picked up his own food and began to eat, making sure to keep an eye on her even still.After dinner was finished and she'd eaten more than enough to make up for what she w
~Twelve Years Ago.~~August Eighteenth, Two Thousand And Eleven.~The rain had just barely subsides when Cory stepped into the warm comfort of her house.Closing the door behind her, she viewed the beige, yet simple interior of the place she called home and sighed.In the distance, she could hear Alistair playing his console games in his room and screaming over several of his wins.She chuckled. A sad one, and momentarily wondered how long this peace of hers would last.However long it lasted, her goal was to protect her children. Cory thought and her grip hardened on the SD card she was holding.Soon, she was no longer by the door and now in her study. She pulled open her laptop just as she sank into her chair and connected the SD card shortly after.Cory sat still for a few minutes bracing herself before opening the file and clicking on the last video that back dated to a few days ago.When the footage began, Cory felt her heart skip a beat. What is going on here? What she was seein
~The Night Before.~Lucien watched as Alexandra interacted with the foreigner talking to her. Well it wasn't much of her doing the interaction, it even seemed like she wasn't too kin on talking to the guy.At long last, the male left and Lucien decided to step forward and talk to Alexandra. He still believed the their talk had not yet ended and that they could still work something out if all the patches were smoothed down. After all, there was nothing more important in his mind than a relationship between him and the girl who was now standing before him.As he got closer, he could hear her muttering a few words... No, she was muttering a one sides conversation, but it didn't seem like there was anyone else apart from herself and him present and obviously she hadn't noticed his presence, otherwise she would have snapped at him in the nastiest of ways.So who exactly was she talking to? Lucien thought as he stopped in his tracks.This time, he was a bit closer and could make out a few o
"What?" Alexandra asked, dumbfounded by his straight up approach."Are you? Or are you not?" Lucien pushed forward, remaining serious and stoic despite the look of confusion, disbelief and surprise written across Alexandra's face.Silence hung in the air for a few seconds, in which after, Alexandra sighed and shook her head."Leave." She ordered. "Get out of my sight before I make you regret showing up.""You still haven't answered my question.""Because I don't want to." Alexandra deadpanned and folded her hands above her chest, the flannel she was wearing briefly exposing her thighs skin. "But since we're playing the game of questions, here's one of my own. How the fuck did you find me?"Lucien remained unresponsive to her question. He didn't answer and instead he simply stood there looking like a male god, all muscle and sinew as he stared straight at her."Answer my question first?" His gaze clearly demanded wordlessly.This made Alexandra scoff out in disbelief, yet she still cou
On the drive back home Lucien could concentrate. There was so many things going on in his head that the male thought that he would be involved in an accident even before he got home.Much to his dismay, that didn't happen.Parking his car, he stepped out with a sigh and slammed the door shut. That was more than enough announcement to the servants of the house that their master had returned.The first person that approached him even before he could step inside was Regent. The elderly male quickly sensed the displeased aura surrounding Lucien and tried his best to sooth that aura of better still, avoid it."Welcome Young master Albrecht." The butler greeted with a bow.Despite his anger, Lucien still found himself cringing at the title he was addressed with.Ever since Leon, his father, showed up out of the blues, the servants of the house had ever since addressed him with the title of Young master and not master like the previous days. Probably because they now knew that Leon was still
