~Twelve A.M, Grey Family Main Mansion. ~Vivian couldn’t stop her tears from climbing out. At first they had poured down in separate groups, dousing her makeup packed cheeks, but as the reality of her situation began to hit harder and the articles about her failed party night started rolling in, her tears couldn’t help but pour out in batches, gushing down her cheeks like endless waterfalls.On the chair opposite where she was currently weeping, sat her Grandmother. The woman was quietly gazing at her granddaughter as Benjamin and Daniel tried their very best to make heads of the situation. They had tried several soothing words, promises and even gotten many of the night’s articles taken down, but as the night’s incident was a hot scoop, it spread like wild fire. In less than an hour since its happening, Vivian had already made headline and just as Alexandra had promised, she was the topic of the night.However the incident wasn’t just going to disappear overnight. It’d be a life last
It was sometime around one during midnight when Darius returned home. The exact time, he didn’t care to know. He switched off the engine of his car and sat in it for a while, reminiscing about the night’s event. He chuckled when remembering the way Alexandra had clapped like crazy when Vivian had tried scrambling of the stage like a frightened chicken and nearly busted out laughing when he remembered Eleanor’s enraged expression. Now he was starting to partly understand why Alexandra took delight in causing tremors in the woman’s life. The other half however, he couldn’t seem to wrap his head around. Her hatred for the woman was just on another whole scale.It was like she didn’t even view Eleanor as family anymore. What had she done to receive such treatment?Well, that was a question only Alexandra could answer.Pulling himself together, Darius pulled out the key from the ignition and stepped out from his car. After ensuring that it was properly locked and parked beside his other pr
He was home and it felt lonely once again. It was the first time in a long while that he had been left with no one. No Fiancée who’d constantly call to brag about her day. No wife who’d always try to interact with him.No one, and it felt utterly lonely.Staring at his reflection on the mirror, Lucien pulled off his tie, his suit followed and then finally his three piece. He went in for a quick shower and when he reemerged, he was dressed in a grey sweat top and sweatpants of matching color. He dried his hair with a hand towel while walking towards his bed and then finally flopping down in it.He laid on his back while staring at the ceiling. It was white and blank, surprisingly like his life right now. He had never actually realized it, and when he did, he had realized too late, but Alexandra had always been the color in his life. She stuck out in everything like a sore thumb. In their wedding photo, her handwriting and every little thing that followed after, she was just different.
After a few more minutes of staying in Alexandra’s previous bedroom, Lucien had decided that was enough for him and walked out, although he didn’t have any intention of dropping the journal he had found. He took it with him and gave it a special spot in his room, hung up in one of his bookshelves.The moment he was done awarding the book its new special spot, he’s phone began to ring. He glanced at the clock on his nightstand to perceive how late it had become before glancing at the device that was laying face down. It was currently after one in the midnight and he wondered who could be calling.His first thoughts as he approached the device on his bed was to cancel the call, whomever it may be from, that was until he actually spotted the caller and sighed in frustration.Harrison. It just so happened to be the one person who he couldn’t reject their call no matter how much of a pest in his life they were.Swiping the answer button across his screen, the redhead pressed the phone to h
It was meant to be a harmless picnic. Alexandra had planned for it her since the announcement of her summer break, and now, the main and last day of her long awaited break, she was ready to enjoy some well quality time with her parents.As she stepped out with her parent on each side of her, their family driver- Marcus, was standing by the side of their designated car, doors open for his employers to step in. However instead of stepping into the back seat, Miguel went for the driver seat and after whispering a few words to Marcus, the driver handed him the car keys, bowed his head and then retreated to his quarters.With a huge smile on his lips, Miguel turned around and shook the car key in front of his daughter and wife, who cheered happily.“Come on, let’s go.” He said and slid behind the wheel, Nova took her position in the passenger seat while Alexandra took her position in the back seat, but not before waving to her grandmother whom had been watching them with a smile on her lip
~Seattle P.D. ~Phones rang, officers answered and several complains were being filed. Some by the assailant , some by the victim. It was another normal day at work for Stefan. He walked pass the ongoing tremor in his front, swaying to the side in time to dodge the arm that was accidentally swung his way.“Hey, behave or else you’d be spending your summer in jail.” He yelled at the couple of bickering idiots who instantly settled down, but that didn’t stop the series of hot glares that travelled between them.The officer who had been in charge of them bowed his head in gratitude while muttering words of thanks. Stefan brushed it off with a smile, a nod and a little wave of his free hand before turning back to continue his journey in his previous direction.He kept a bright smile on his lips which highlighted his doe brown eyes as he walked pass many other officers of different rank in a prideful stance. Or at least that is what some of them would have called it. Contrary to their jeal
The sound of furious keyboard key clicking drowned out any sound source of sound in Alexandra’s office. She sat behind her desk, neatly dressed with her full attention focused on the project she was currently working on.Two weeks had gone by in the blink of an eye. Two whole weeks since she announced her all out war to Eleanor. The elderly woman had not done anything so far. Her engagement with Darius had been canceled as per her request, but other than that, Eleanor had been errily still sith her plans. Seeing everything going according to the way she wanted it was putting Alexandra in high spiritThe focused blonde reached beside her computer and grabbed the cup of coffee stationed there. She took a sip from it, noticed how cold it had become and placed it down. Only did she peel her attention away from her computer when Michael walked into her office. He walked towards her and placed down another cup of coffee.“Ms. Grey here is your coffee and the data analysis on the upcoming su
“One cup of iced decaf.” Alexandra said as she placed her card on the counter, sliding it towards the waitress. The female collected it and slotted it into her machine, deducting the needed amount before giving it back to her with a receipt.“One cup of iced decaf coming up.” The waitress bent to the side, trying to see around Alexandra as she asked. “And what about you Sir?”“Coffee.” The voice behind her responded and just like her usual days, Alexandra had herself looking behind at the familiar voice with confusion etched in her eyes.She huffed out a breath upon seeing Darius standing behind her. “What a coincident.”“Indeed.” Darius concurred as he stepped forward and placed his card on the counter, waiting until his bill had been deducted and his card given back to him until he turned to face the blonde.It was the first time she was seeing him in two weeks. She studied his outfit-a plain black body tight shirt, a red flannel underneath black leather jacket and a pair of causal
