Lucien knew it was shameless of him to ask such from a woman whom he had neglected for five whole year, yet his lips kept on moving in spite of his brain objecting.

When he saw Alexandra’s unmoving facial expression, he quickly added. “As an apology. It is clear that my… Octavia caused your face great injury. Let me at least apologize in an appropriate way.”

“No.” Alexandra didn’t waste a second to ponder her answer. Her stone cold voice made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with Lucien. Putting on a professional smile, she informed. “My afternoon is a booked out. Goodbye Mr. Albrecht.”

As she turned around to leave, once again, Lucien called out. “Then you must be free for dinner.”

Alexandra sucked on the inside of her cheek then exhaled.

What exactly was her ex husband trying to achieve? Had he magically decided to pursue her after they had divorced? She did remember that trash spilling hound saying something about Lucien leaving her.

So was he really…

    Alexandra had almost forgotten the thrill of being in a racing rink.Sited on her red Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter bike, all dressed in a black body hug racing suit, Alexandra raved the engine twice and heard the spectators in the background cheer on.To her right was a black Ecosse ES1 Spirit bike who was consistently raving his engine like some big shot. More people cheered for him so she assumed that he must be some pro racer.Well, not like she cared. Tonight, she was the only person who was going to cross the line first.With an arrogant smirk on her lip, Alexandra got in her perfect position and watched the referee state out rules that she already knew all too well. And then the countdown began and with every number that passed by, her heart pounded wildly with expectation.The moment the green light was given to all racers, she pressed hard on her accelerator and left the other competitors in the dust.The spectators watched in awe. Her bike movements were smooth and s

    Silence floated in the air like a thick veil. People stared with their mouth agape.A beauty, a biker and a fierce beast. What else was their mystery biker woman hiding up her sleeves?Darius could almost feel the mocking stares passing right through him and tried wriggling out of Alexandra’s lock. Unfortunately for him, her several years of martial art practice made that impossible for him.“I advice you stay still. If you fret around too much I just might accidentally dislocate your arm.” After saying this, she leaned in closer to Darius’s ear with an arrogant leer of her plump lips. This caused the pinned down male to seize his movement and shivers passed down his spine as she spoke into his ear, but sadly, they we’re pleasant words.“On second thoughts, I think I should, maybe then it would shut that trash talking mouth of yours up.”*****Concomitantly, In front of Albrecht Empire, Lucas held the car door open for his employer, whom after a long day at work; slipped into the back

    Thump! Thump!Lucien could hear his own heart beat in his ear.It was a rather strange feeling for a man who had not held his wife throughout their five years of marriage, but now, here they were, pressed against each other like a pair of sandwiches.The softness of Alexandra’s chest and her frail figure in his hold sent Lucien’s mind sprawling. It sent currents of unstable emotion, which Lucien had never felt, through his entire body.Blinking his eyes, the redhead asked out in concern. “Are you okay?”Alexandra, who was still on top of him-frozen, blinked her eyes multiple times.In her whole time of knowing Lucien, this was the closest she had ever gotten to him. For a married couple this degree of intimacy would have been nothing, but for Alexandra who was now a divorcee, this amount of intimacy sent her heart drumming against her ribcages.Throughout their time of being married, she had always wondered what it would be like being in the arms of the one she loved.Cared for.

    Thunder clapped in the background right on time, acting like a paid actor to Octavia’s miserable demise.The noirette stood frozen as last night’s action repeated itself, only this time, in bigger folds. After a few seconds, her ears began to ring and tear gushed down her face, doubling the look of despair on her face.Lucien took one look at her for the last time and turned his back on her, retiring into the comfort of his bedroom.As of today, his relationship with Octavia no longer existed. He could no longer tolerate her hypocrisy and couldn’t see himself spending the rest of his life with a woman like her.Octavia’s mind could no longer comprehend what was going on for the first few seconds as she watched the man she once dearly loved turn his back on her and walk away.Her whole world had been shattered once again.And this time around she saw no way of rebuilding it.*******Trickles of raindrops glided down the surface of his window like falling tears.Lucien stood by it with

    Darius Perce!The name had clicked a bit to slow in Alexandra’s brain and the next thing she knew, the noirette towering above her had been ripped away and flung half the distance.“Next time, before coming to a gym read up the meaning of personal space, you creep.” Theodore protectively stood beside her, his arm gently finding its way around her waist.Darius looked between the two as soon as he regained his stand. Any sane person could easily recognize the heir and CEO of the mighty Langer group.But the main question that instigated his next words was ‘Why was a prestigious young business prodigy with a gutsy biker nobody?’And with the type of relationship that existed between Theodore and Alexandra, and due to how deep their relationship ran, an outside could easily misunderstand the real thing going on between them.Darius was one of those several people. “Wow Alexandra, First President Albrecht? Now Mr. Langer? I truly underestimated you. What type of a woman are you?”He spoke

    As usual, Lucien was copped up in his study focused on work. He had just finished looking through and signing the document needed to carry out the launch of his company’s new Jewelry series, when his computer beeped several times.Glancing in the device’s direction, he sighed and answered the incoming call.“Lucien.” Harrison’s face displayed on the other side. The male was smiling broadly, but as soon as he saw his best friend working, that smile disappeared. “Dude, it’s a Saturday.”Lucien, who understood his words simply stated without looking up from his work. “Doesn’t matter, time waits for no one.”Harrison sighed. His friend had always been that way, putting work before anything else. Even his love life. He wondered how Octavia puts up with such a workaholic.“Speaking of which, how’s Octavia? Is she taking her meds?”Lucien’s hand paused at the mention of the noirette. It had been a while since he thought about her and her calls over the days had reduced almost as if she was g

    Alexandra glared daggers through her vehicle’s window at the restaurant in front of her.Fancy red coating, flowers beds placed neatly at every corner and a pair of see through glass doors. The exterior almost made the blonde forget all about the foreboding feeling in the pity of her stomach.She was making a bad decision. Somehow, she knew it, but just couldn’t pinpoint how she knew this.Sighing for the fifth time, she pulled her gaze away and reached for her coat hung neatly on the headrest of one of her seats.Whatever thoughts she had, sitting in her car wasn’t going to answer those questions.At last, she threw the coat on over her sport bra- not having enough time to change into actual dresses, and stepped out of the vehicle.Carrying her shoulder with pride, she approached the restaurant.From a mile away she was able to spot Lucien thanks to his outstanding body physique and looks.Leaned against the door of his car, Lucien wore a grey colored button up shirt that had the sle

    She made the wrong decision.As soon as Lucien and Alexandra had finished their business Lunch, the skies opened up their impatient gates and just like the nights before, they allowed a heavy down pour onto the earth.The sky was grey and surroundings windy when Alexandra stepped out. Raindrops pattered against the hard concrete below with no sign of letting up anytime soon.Not that she cared, Michael would drive through the rain the moment she called him.Adjusting her coat, she turned around to Lucien who was on a business call behind her.It was so like him, always busy twenty four seven.She examined his facial structure while he busied himself with whatever business was none of her concern.

She blinked again and so did the reflection.Finally having had enough of the stare off with her reflection, the teen turned away from the mirror and sighed.Her eyes found the luxurious clock hung above the TV and she chewed on her inner check as each passing moment reminded her of her impending torment.It was the last Saturday of the month, and as per the long existing tradition, her family had to go over to the Langer Family Vila for a wholesome picnic time.Sure, any normal person would enjoy such outing, except her situation was different.

    ~Five years Later.~Alexandra stood in front of her parent's grave- both Cory, Nova and Miguel- dressed in a fashionable black dress that draped down as far as her knee.Her hair- which had now grown back to it's full length- was packed up neatly and rolled into a bun at the end, accompanied by the black net cap she had on her hair.Alexandra stood with a bouquet of white roses in her right hand and daisies from the nearby meadow on the left. Those were not only symbols of peace, love, and hope but also reminders that life was still going on. She looked around slowly as if giving herself a moment to reflect upon how things have changed since then.Five years ago, when she had lost everyone she loved and was shattered to the core after her divorce with Lucien, Alexandra thought her life would never be same again. She had felt helpless and hopeless that time even with all the power and must accomplish goals, but now as she looked at both her adoptive mother and Biological mother grave w

    ~Day One Out Of Seven.~Alexandra returned to the Grey Manor that night after her conversation with Eleanor over the phone had ended.The first thing, or rather, the first person she saw as she stepped into the house was Darius. He was pacing around the living room for a while until he noticed Alexandra and quickly rushed to meet her."Alexa... Where were you?" He asked, his voice dripping with concern and worry.Alexandra softly sighed out. "Calm down, Darius." She said while gently stroking his hair. "I'm fine. I just had to take care of something little.""What?""I found out how Eleanor knew about my pregnancy. The waiter back at the cafe was a spy for her and he must have reported our conversation to her that day." Alexandra informed."What?" Darius was angry, but then seconds later, his face crumbled and a tinge of guilt set in.I'd the waiter had only reported their conversation that day and Eleanor found out about their unborn child, then it was his fault.

    Eleanor pressed the button and imagine in that moment how it all played out.The best part of it all being that Alexandra was finally out of the way and she had emerged victorious after the long battle.No other thought could have made her smile the way she did.Eleanor's train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. She frowned, not taking too lightly to the fact that one of her useless henchmen or sons were distrubing her moment of celebration.She reached for her phone and picked it up, ready to lash out brutally in whoever's name was written on her phone screen, but to her utter dismay, it was an unsaved number.Eleanor stared at the digits of numbers across her screen with creased brows.'Who is it this time?' She thought after a while as she answered the call and placed her phone to her ear."Who is this?" She asked sternly.The other end of the line was silent for a while. Eleanor could make out the sound of someone mumbling in the background and then th

    Six out of seven of those days bad gone by. Eleanor had been unusually quiet. One would have almost thought that she bailed and ran away.But Alexandra knew better than that. She knew that the woman who had raised her in disguise as the perfect grandmother was more of a deadly predator than her sins gave her credit for.In other words, she isn't one to tuck her tail between her legs and run away. It was just a matter of time until she acted.'A matter of time...' Alexandra pondered those last few words as she watched as the last fragments of oranges, reds and yellows faded into a dark gray. The sunset had gone, and the blanket of night began to cover the world in the darkness of its shadow.After a while, she pulled her gaze away and sighed, focusing on the pile of work that was on her table.Because of Darius's over protectiveness, she had worked less in the last few days and barely ever came to the company. Today, she had escaped by miracle- miracle meaning that she had made more th

    For the first time in a long while, Alexandra felt panic shot through her as she read the letter in her hands. She allowed the paper drop to the floor after awhile as her thoughts became more loud than the sound of her heart beat.How was it possible? How could Eleanor have found out that she was pregnant?Alexandra thought, after all she had done everything in her power to make sure that Eleanor did not find out. To make sure that the news of her being pregnant did not reach the ears of any of her foe. Yet, here she was, hyperventilating over the fact that Eleanor had learnt of her child's existence while breathing like some dying cow.'Calm down, Alexandra.' she tried to calm herself as soon as she noticed how ragged her breathing was becoming.She found her way back to her bed and sag down, controlling her breathing and thoughts together. After a while, she picked up her phone and dailed Darius's number. The line rang for a few seconds as usual before Darius picked up."Alexei? Wha
