Her fever was raising the more. Alexandra could feel it. Every passing second that she stood in the cold atmosphere of the rain; her fever seemed to rise up.

Finally done with paying her respect, she wiped her eyes and bowed.

After placing a two finger kiss on the head of the gravestones she bowed for the final time and turned around, but just as she attempted to take a step forward, her vision became hazy and her legs wobbly. Before she knew it, her body had descended to the floor and a sharp pain coursed through her knees.

What perfect fucking luck she had. Out of all the days she just so happened to fall sick before her parents anniversary. As if the day couldn’t get any worse.

“Fucking great. Just freaking fucking great!” She furiously pounded her fist into the wet floor, looking for some sort of way to release the amount of frustration she had been harboring. But s

    His words of encouragement had gotten her through the hardest of times. She couldn’t remember his every word, but just the few she could meant everything to her.She’d forever cherish them. Forever.Rays of sunlight streamed down on Alexandra’s face as her eyes slowly fluttered open. It was morning, a bright and beautiful one. Slowly, as she rose up from the bed, her vision cleared and she examined her surroundings. They were unfamiliar, not like her own bedroom, yet she somehow knew the structures.Her feet landed on the cold floor as she stepped out of bed, eyes trained on the multiple awards shelve ahead.

    Lucas kept his head bowed as he held the door open in front of Grey Manor and Alexandra stepped out. As per curtsey, she thanked him and headed inside.The first thing she did was to collapse on her soft bed. The comfy mattress instantly accepted her body and drew her in. She sighed and closed her eyes.‘What a day.’ She thought and rolled on her side, closing her eyes to gather her thoughts when the sound of her house phone interrupted the session.“Well damn.” She muttered and rolled over then reached for the landline position on her night stand. She picked it up and placed it to her ear. “Yeah hello?”She asked casually, not expecting anyone important, however, at the voice from the other side, her body tensed up.“Alexandra, it’s your Grandmother.”Grandmother. Like hell she was! Alexandra could phantom an answer as to how she could call herself that after all she might have done. Her audacity was outrageous.Keeping herself together, she rose to a sitting position on her bed and

    At the Grey Direct Mansion.Alexandra stood in front of the huge length picture shelve and browsed through it with her eyes as she awaited her grandmother’s presence. She smiled softly at some of the old pictures consisting of she and her parents. They looked so happy without any care in the world that it broke her heart all over again that they were now gone.Moving on, she looked at the next picture, and the one after that, finally she was met with a photo frame with the face placed down. She had never really frequented the direct mansion and wondered what the frame held, however, as she was about to turn the face up, two servants passed by, giggling like dying hyenas and she caught wind of their conversation.“So that’s what happened. How shameless.”“I mean we can’t blame her, who’d want to keep a child after their failed marriage. She obviously had to get rid of it to save face, and now she’s back here acting all high and mighty.”Alexandra’s ears perked up and she stepped forwar

    Her Grandmother wanted her as nothing but a pawn. Another one added to her already several.Alexandra tapped her index finger on her upper arm as stood arms crossed and waiting for Michael to arrive. Once again, she was standing in front of the picture shelves and trying to forget any unsettling thought. Alas that proved impossible, and after a while, she sighed.Her Grandmother really was a clever woman. Well, all she’d have to do is outsmart her and seeing as she was her eldest granddaughter, Alexandra didn’t think that’d be much of a task.Alexandra nodded her head and continued looking at pictures. She picked up from where she had left off and approached the frame with its face down. Dust had gathered around the part of the picture shelve it had been placed.She wondered why out of all the picture, this one was the only one which had been neglected during cleaning.When she picked it up and turned the face around, the picture inside was barely half a piece. The other half had been

What a wonderfully useless bunch of leech she had been given as family members.Michael gently knocked on the door’ frame and stepped in, bowing his head respectfully at his employer. “The vehicle is ready Ms. Grey.” He informed.Alexandra nodded as she examined herself one last time in the mirror, smacked her bright red glossed lips together and then nodded in approval towards her reflection in the mirror.She looked perfect.“Let’s go Michael.” She commanded the assistant who still had his head lowered as she walked past him, heading for her vehicle.Throughout the drive to the Grey’s main mansion Alexandra kept her gaze trained outside as s

She hated his freaking guts, and from the looks of their past encounters, he hated her just as much.“Child, why do you look so surprised?” Eleanor asked the noirette who was still standing at the door, mouth agape like a fish out of fresh water. “Darius dear?” Came Eleanor’s voice as she looked between the two and asked. “Do you both happen to know each other?”At that moment, Alexandra wanted to loudly bark out the words ‘As if!’, but composed herself and plainly responded as she tore her gaze away. “No.”“Yes.” Darius had happened to answer the very same second she delivered her answer.Alexandra so badly wanted to shot a nasty glare his way.Eleanor looked between the two youngsters and chuckled. “It seems to me that you are well acquainted with my granddaughter Darius?”“Granddaughter?” The male asked as he moved to take one

    ~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?"

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?'

    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.

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.
