It was some time during winter back at high school, one of her usual reoccurring dreams. Alexandra stood under the large oak tree of her school, dressed in her uniform. The person standing in front of her had his back turned towards her as he stared out across the vast field.Dry leaf slowly fell from the tree above, gathering around her feet like some romance teen movie. Except nothing about this moment was romantic. She could feel it, almost as if she was living this dream more vividly than the rest.Finally, when the boy turned around, half of his face had been blurred out by dark shades, his chestnut brown hair being the only thing Alexandra could barely recognized.“You know,” He spoke, the sound of his honey soft voice startling her. “Vengeance can be sweet, but destructive. If you feel like the whole world has wronged you so bad, why not just get stronger and show them what you’re truly made of. That way no one would dare mess with you again, right?”The sound of his last words
Darius had returned with the doctors less than ten minutes later. They ran a few checks on her and clarified her health. However, she was instructed to stay on the hospital grounds for another few days, a week at tops. Apparently they needed to make sure the poison didn’t have any further side effects on her. Alexandra accepted without a fuss, although she hated hospitals, she was in no rush to leave, get back to work or pay her atrocious grandmother a visit.She decided to leave all that until when she was in the mood for it.“That’d be all for today.” The doctor said as he completed his check up on her. He packed his things and smiled at her. “Ms. Grey please be mindful of what you eat in the future, you were very lucky that your Fiancé was near you at that moment. Although the poison dose ingested was not fatal, it still could have caused a lot of damage to your body, coupled with your allergy.”The doctor had said so much, but out of all, Alexandra had only heard a select few befo
The next few days spent at the hospital went by quickly. During those three days, she had gotten her share of company and disturbance. Theodore for one, when he had found out about the poisoning, he turned beat red from anger, literally. She had gotten a ear full of scolding from him, had to make a few promises even she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep and promised to call him once she got discharged.However, that did not stop the blonde from popping up in her hospital room at least twice a day. During one of those occasions, he had a run in with Darius- who only showed up once in a blue moon, not like Alexandra cared; she was doing just fine without his presences and didn’t or wouldn’t need it anytime in the near future.Theodore and Darius however, seemed to hit it off pretty fast and became friends. The two chatted, laughed and exchanged numbers with each other despite the glare she had been shutting their way from across the room.All in all, Alexandra was utterly tired of stayi
One of the things Alexandra had not factored into her day… today was encountering Lucien. In her hospital room. Well then again, who would factor running into their ex husband slash business partner in their hospital wing?No one! No freaking sane person!“Bloody fuck!” Alexandra cursed aloud at the male sited leg crossed in one of her wing’s couch and placed her palm over her racing heart. “What the hell are you doing in my hospital room Lucien? You know there something called knocking?”“I did knock; you just didn’t seem to be in.” He admitted in a heartbeat as he adjusted on the couch, finding a more comfortable spot, making her scrunch up her face in disapproval.Why was he getting all comfortable like he owned the whole freaking hospital. She really prayed he actually didn't.“So you saw it fit to just barge in?” Alexandra scoffed loudly and matched over. “I think you’re beginning to forget your boundaries Mr. Albrecht.”“And what are they?” Those some how pissed her off. She fol
Alexandra didn’t want to get herself involved any further. She could feel his stare as she stuffed the duffle bag, but yet, she did not turn around until the black bag had been packed and zipped up. When she spun around Lucien was still in his spot, arms folded above his chest and expression neutral, yet, she could tell that the expression on his face was somehow different than that of minutes ago. Somehow, she could just tell, it looked more composed and light.And as usual, she couldn’t tell why.The blonde had accepted her fate. She and Lucien were meant to always have their run ins. They were like karmic soul mates, meaning their continuous circle of encounters, hate and love, anger and neglect was not ending anytime soon, according to the universe’s playbook and as much as she hated to admit it, she had to come to terms with it. That was just how her life was now; there were certain things that just stuck without much effort.Lucien newly found interest in her life happened to be
Darkness.That was all she could see. Alexandra blinked her eyes twice at the darkened ceiling then sighed. She turned over and reached for her night lamp, turning it on with a click. Almost immediately, the whole room was illuminated by the bright purple light.She stayed still on her bed for a moment longer before turning over on her side and curling into a fetus position.She felt disturbed. It had been a whole week since she had been discharged from the hospital yet she had been unable to get even the slightest lead on Natalie Marsh. The contact number she had been given had already been disconnected by the time she tried calling and the residential address had been vacated long ago.It was like the woman had vanished into thin air, taking her existence with her. This was trouble for Alexandra since if she couldn’t get one single information about her on both the net and her database, she’d have to result to hacking into the country’s database, and last time she had done that it h
The next day Alexandra went for a dress fitting at Mrs. William’s boutique for the upcoming party. She really had big plans for the upcoming event. After a few hours of pleasantries and fitting, a desired dress had been put up for creation. Alexandra walked out of the boutique feeling like royalty. She waved at Quinn with one of her dazzling smile and proceeded to exit the boutique when Octavia walked in.The noirette looked half red the moment she laid eyes on her. Alexandra really didn’t care and placed on her glasses on.It was the first time in weeks since Octavia had seen Alexandra and she didn’t like how the blonde looked at peace and in shape whereas she looked as if the whole world had turned its back on her. And that had actually been what happened.After the news of her and Lucien’s engagement break up spread like wild fire all her sponsors and big time movie roles were taken from her.She couldn’t bare it, seeing her life falling apart one by one. All the things she had sac
Michael held the car door open as Alexandra stepped out and adjusted her clothes. She stared at the mansion up ahead and exhaled through her lips, something she had been doing a lot as of recent.Sooner rather than later she sure was going to look older than her actual age.The door in front opened and Eleanor walked out with several servants following behind. The woman had a smile on her lips as she extended her palm, beckoning the blonde over.“Welcome Alexandra. Why don’t we step inside?”She silently glanced at the out stretched palm then back to their owner, her expression not for once showing the amount of hatred she was currently feeling.How could she act so innocently after doing something so despicable? Well, it obviously wasn’t the first time for her so that wasn’t much of a wonder.When Eleanor noticed her stone cold expression, her smile faded and she retracted her palm. Turning around, she moved inside and commanded. “Come with me.”Alexandra handed her bag to Michael, t
