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
The next day Alexandra had met up with Vivian in one of her grandmother’s favorite unisex mall. The brunette didn’t seem all that happy about her grandmother’s plan and had a frown on her face. That was until she spotted Alexandra and placed an overly fake smile on her lips.Alexandra paid on mind to her face and played along, only she did not do thing she didn’t want to.“Let’s begin.” She commanded and walked ahead upon their meet up.Vivian tried her best to stay calm. She didn’t like the fact that Alexandra was still acting all high and mighty. She wanted to pull her down from that high horse of hers, but sadly she didn’t have the power to do so. So that is why she was resulting to playing the weak one, stomping on other people and using them as pawns to get to where she wanted to. But if only she knew that she was the one being played in this endless game.Alexandra walked ahead glancing through the windows of each boutique looking for the one her grandmother had instructed they
Alexandra splashed a hand of water on her face and sighed. She raised her head and stared at her reflection in the mirror. If one didn’t know the demons trapped within her they could easily think she has a pitch perfect life.But she didn’t.She switched off the tap and dried her face. There was no need for her to stay in here any longer than needed and she certainly wasn’t trying to delay her conversation with Lucien. She certainly wasn’t. Sure, she had never predicated having this conversation with Lucien, and had never prepared herself for one, but that didn’t mean she was going to chicken out. Maybe it was time she straightened things out with him and stopped holding onto the past. Maybe then she could find the happiness she wanted.The blonde nodded at her reflection. It was about time she placed her past in the past and actually lived in the present.She turned around and was about to leave the restroom when she heard a sound coming from the stall behind her. She narrowed her ey
The girls looked at Lucien in surprise, mostly Alexandra. Just a couple of minutes ago he was at their seat and now he was here, stalking towards this Anthony dude like a deadly predator. She didn’t know what to say.“Do you know who I am?!” The male on the floor barked in anger. Alexandra clammed her eyes shut and shook her head in pity.If only this idiot knew when to keep his mouth shut.Lucien stepped forward and stomped down on one of Anthony’s ankle, pressing down hard enough to earn a yelp from him. “Do I look like I care?” He spat. “People nowadays sure are gutsy.” He raised his head and scanned the women standing a few feets away from him. Their eyes held the right amount of surprise to tell him that they had not expected his presence, even Alexandra.Alexandra stepped forward and placed out her hand. “Lucien don’t, he’s not worth it.”Lucien? The name resonated with the bastard on the floor and he instantly began to shiver. “Lucien Albrecht? Mr. Albrecht? Please forgive me s
Natalie Marsh.Lucien kept the name in his mind as he sat behind his table, fingers moving as fast as light speed against his keyboard.It was just as Alexandra had told him. This Natalie Marsh of a woman was like a nobody in his database. He could barely get a single information about her. For a moment, he wondered if that was indeed the woman’s real name. Maybe he was missing something, not getting a clue that stuck out yet could be easily missed.He sighed and opened up another computer. A database popped up and he typed in her name and yet nothing came. He cleared the whole thing and paused. A thought came to his mind and he searched it up. The name Marsh popped up on his database but sadly no Natalie Marsh. Rather he found something that confused him. A family linage tree.Naomi Marsh and apparently she was related to…oh, oh no.Lucien leaned back in his chair as he took in his newest discovery with his hand placed over his mouth. That’s why she was so hard to find. He wasn’t hun
Eleanor finished giving her speech and walked back to the trio. She smiled gleefully as she approached them.“Wonderful speech Grandmother.” Vivian complimented as she leaned in for a hug. The elderly woman wholeheartedly accepted it while Alexandra ignored their over dramatic family moment.“Thank you darling, now go prepare, your speech is up next.” Eleanor said and shooed the female off, taking her stance next to Alexandra.The blonde remained silent with her posture held up right. It was only after a few second did she turn her attention towards Darius and with a smile she asked.“Get us some drinks please would you.”The noirette glanced between she and her grandmother and nodded his head. With a sigh, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Getting drinks was better than being involved in a family squabble, and trust me; he didn’t want to be involved in the Grey family’s squabble.Only after Darius had disappeared among the crowd did Alexandra turn to her grandmot
Thwack!“You damn insolent brat!” Eleanor raged as she struck her palm against Alexandra’s left cheek. The hit left a sting, nothing compared to Octavia’s iron fist but obviously a dent to her face.She placed her palm against it and sighed. She was well aware, and had expected something like this after pulling a stunt like that. In the corner of the room, Vivian sat crouched on a chair with her father and Daniel surrounding her like some sort of protective field as they tried calming the sobbing girl down.“My life is ruined!” She wailed and buried her face into Benjamin’s neck. “I can never show my face in public because of this. My life is ruined Grandmother!”“Are you seeing this? This is your entire fault. Quickly, apologize to your cousin while we’re still being lenient.” Daniel said while pointing an accusing finger her way. Alexandra scoffed. What a show her entire family was putting on. Truthfully, it wasn’t entertaining in the least bit.“Alexandra your uncle is right, apolo
