Eliana walked into her house that day feeling annoyed. She had come to realize that annoyance and Alexandra worked hand in hand as she always felt that specific emotion after each and every of her encounter with Alexandra.As she walked past the working servants in her house, they could all tell that she was in a bad mood, even though they had never for once seen her in such a mood, the aura she gave off made them understand better than to approach her, so they all kept to themselves, bowing their heads in respect and all as she walked by.One unfortunate servant who had been sent by her father to fetch her, had the guts to approach her.He wringed his fingers, weighing his options and at last deciding that it was better to include Eliana's wrath rather than to go unemployed.Hesitantly, he walked up to Eliana who was just about to ascend the stairs leading up to her room. "Um, Young Miss," he tentatively began, doubting his options once more the moment Eliana shot him a deathly glare
Lucien stirred in his bed. At first it felt awfully uncomfortable, but then someone sat beside him and the bed dipped."Lu?" He heard a soft voice call out. The voice was familiar and slowly he pulled his eyes open to see Alexandra smiling down at him, her blonde hair flowing from both sides of her face.She seemed to find something funny and chuckled. "Did you have another nightmare." Her voice sounded so serene and compassionate that it also made Lucien forget that he was in yet another one of his dreams.He got up into a sitting position and hugged her around the waist. She giggled and patted his head. "Don't be a big baby now. Get up, you have to get ready for work and I have to drop Oscar in his preschool." She soothingly told him.It took some effort but finally Lucien managed to stand on his own two feet with his back against the bed's wall."Good boy," she said as she kissed his forehead before leaving him standing there by himself.Lucien watched as she walked towards the doo
A few days had gone by since Alexandra's meeting with Hugh. She was just about wrapping up for lunch when Zion knocked on her door and walked in."What is the matter, Zion?" Alexandra asked as she drank the last of her coffee and chugged the disposable cup into her dust bin.Zion stepped forward and present her with the paper in his hand. "Here is the weeks summary you asked for one Curt International Group finances." He handed her the paper which Alexandra received and began flipping through with a knowing look in her eyes.As she read through the paper, Alexandra began to notice subtle inconsistencies in Curt International Group's financial records. She had been following the company's finances closely ever since her meeting with Hugh a few days ago and this didn't seem to add up. For starters, there were large sums of money crossing accounts that weren't supposed to be there. On top of that, Hugh had used some rather questionable methods to acquire funds from other companies withou
[Madam Grey, I have news regarding Alexandra Grey.] Eleanor read the message written across her screen as she sipped on her steaming cup of relaxing tea.'News on Alexandra.' She thought as she placed the cup down and typed her reply.[What is it?]As she waited for a reply, she couldn't help but hope that the news was something worth the while and Along the road she gave herself a path on the back for being as smart enough as to plant a spy in the places that Alexandra frequented. Turns out that her plan had worked and although she hadn't gotten any information useful for the time being, she could see potential.The sound of her phone chiming indicated that her spy had replied to her message and she quickly rushed to open it, reading his reply seconds later.[Alexandra Grey is pregnant. I'm not sure how long, but she is pregnant and it seems to me like the father is Darius Perce, eldest son of Assembly man Bianchi.]Huh?!Eleanor stared at her phone screen with surprised eyes.Alexan
Eleanor and Leonardo's start of what they called revenge blew into the air quickly, turning Into visible smokes as the weather picked up, nearing winter.Alexandra stepped out of her company and breathed out cold air. She wrapped her hand around her body and massaged it, wanting to get some sort of warmth in the weather that was quickly dropping in temperature.Made sense, she thought. After all, winter was approaching... And so was the winter fest.Suddenly, her assistant appeared from the sidelines, offering her a coat."Madam Grey, please use this." He said as he held out the fury coat towards her.Alexandra hesitated for a moment, eyeing the fur coated material skeptically before accepting his offer.She tossed it over her shoulder and slipped her hands in. Instantly, the cold she had felt from before melted away and her body was quickly warmed."Thank you, Zion."She thanked him with a smile."My pleasure, Madam Grey. Oh, and concerning the plans you had instructed I carry out, a
Throughout the night Eliana had thought of ways to get back at Alexandra. When it came to wittiness, the blonde surpassed her and when it came to connections, it was evidence that Alexandra far surpassed her. So what was the only thing she could use to use? Money obviously.The first thing that came to her mind m, along with that thought, was her father's company.For a not-so-large scaled company Curt international Group sure had a lot of connections and contacts, Connects and contacts that Eliana was sure she could use to ruin Alexandra's life.And all she needed to do was batt a few lashes and play the weak damsel. How simple.Eliana had grinned at the thought throughout the ride towards her father's company and along with that, mapped out future plans and celebrations for Alexandra's down fall.However, that was all shattered into bits and pieces as she stepped out of car and found her father being forced into the back of a black car.Confusion reeled in her mind, plastering it's
Alexandra arrived at Albrecht Manor an hour later. She was welcomed nice and warmly, remembering her of the days when she once used to be their mistress and was looked down on, snickered at and even laughed at.Memories of the olden days flooding in made the blonde clench her teeth together. She bo longer wanted to think of those days. Her Chapter with the Albrecht family was over and sincerely speaking, she was happy with her life with Darius.Sure, she did get sad at times while thinking of all the grief she has had to endure and all the pain Eleanor has out her through, but Isabella's wonderful food and care, Alistair's headstrong way of supporting her, Darius's unlimited love and affection that grew by each day and her unborn baby made up for all that sadness.So now, she wanted to finally close things with the Albrecht family and return to her content life as soon as possible.Drawing in her breath, Alexandra prepared herself, carrying her shoulders well, before she stepped into
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
