“Michael, head on out without me and send everyone home on an early leave, they’ve done well so far on the summer line up.” Alexandra said into her car’s speaker, Michael on the other line.

“Are you sure Ms. Grey?” He inquired followed by the sound of shuffling. Alexandra chuckled; even though he sounded reluctant she could clearly make out the sound of him already packing to leave. She couldn’t blame him. When the sound on the other line had quieted down, Michael added. “I’m aware that they’ve done phenomenal on the summer line up but do you really want to give them time to slack off?”

“They’re not slacking off, Michael. They’ve strived so far to make sure I don’t find one fault in this season’s theme the best I can do is give them some time to relax, well that and increasing their pay, but we all know the latter isn’t happening so send them all home early. I’ll stop by the company to grab my phone’s charger and you better make sure you’re all gone by the time I reach there.”

    You know that saying that goes; I know, somehow, only when its dark enough, can you see the stars. Vividly, Alexandra was starting to get a clear view of its meaning.Just as the whole room plunged into darkness- the lights outside her office going off immediately- light from a nearby billboard shone into her open window, accompanied by the glow of the moonlight, Lucien looked like the spitting image of the Greek God Zeus. Truly alluring for a woman who was trying her mightiest to say no to temptation.Her staring must have been that much obvious that it caught Lucien’s attention. He turned away from billboard outside just in time to catch her eyes glued on him. And just like he looked in her eyes, in his eyes, she looked just as bewitching and lovely. Her skin paled under the moonlight, a total contrast from her tanned lively skin complexion and her gray orbs stood in the dark. Compared to the beauty of the moon at night, Lucien found her eyes way more captivating.She, his ex wife a

    Everything. At this moment in Alexandra’s life, everything seemed to be waving off course. Just when she had thought the only thing she had to worry about was her grandmother's scheming way, trouble begins to boil in her personal life. She really couldn't understand what the universe had planned out for her.Staring at the sign on the stair’s door, the blonde huffed out a breath of disbelieve through her lips. How on earth had she forgotten about the maintenance slip she had signed off two days ago? Had work been getting to her that much or was she just a natural airhead?Whichever option it was out of the three, she didn’t want to find out while standing like a complete idiot and staring at a damn door.She reached into her back pocket and pulled out her phone. Hopefully she could call Michael and he’d have something sorted out. Or so she thought because the moment she tried powering her phone, the device didn’t give any response, the screen remained blank no matter how many times sh

    Alexandra felt her heart do a fluttery flip as she stared at Lucien. It wasn’t the first time he was apologizing to her, but this one out of all sounded the most genuine. Like he was now truly regretting his action and wanted nothing more than for her to forgive him, no hidden agenda.There was not a single human without flaw. Every living being on this earth has created a mistake in some way that they later lived to regret, Alexandra was no different. So if after all the apologies she had received from Lucien, she still insisted on not forgiving him, wasn’t she just being headstrong wicked?Once again, thanks to the universe’s playbook, she was looking like the villainess.What a hassle. Holding a grudge against him was too much work for her already overworked brain. And besides, if she was too focused on Lucien, she just might lose sight of her original goal and that, more than anything was the real reason she had decided to abandon everything and return to her family.She needed to

    A few hours had quietly gone by since their last conversation. At some point in time Alexandra had almost thought that Lucien had fallen asleep, if not for the regular turn and toss her made every now and then. Lying on her couch, the blonde turned over and folded herself up. Just like she had thought, the temperature in the room had slowly begun to drop, it was a surprise to how that Lucien wasn't feeling cold.It was almost Summer so she really couldn’t wrap her head around how the room was becoming so cold. She sighed and turned over in her couch again before seating up. How Lucien stayed so still was beyond her ability to answer.“Can’t sleep?” Lucien asked, his deep voice which sounded hoarse being the first sound in hours to break the quietness in Alexandra office. As a matter of fact it was the first sound heard on the presidential floor in hours.“What do you think? Who’d be able to fall asleep in such conditions?” Alexandra said and pushed her hair back. She thought of gettin

    In spite of the entire attitude she had given him earlier on, Alexandra had fallen asleep the moment she closed her eyes. It was almost too adorable for Lucien to watch. He quietly chuckled-careful not to disturb the sleeping female as he stood behind her.After a while, he reached down and soothingly adjusted a few strands of her hair out of the blonde’s face. This in turn caused her to groan and stir in her sleep a bit.Guess she wasn't so much of a heavy sleeper.Not wanting to disturb her any further, Lucien stepped back and tucked his hands into his pocket. His fingers grazed the plastic object in his pocket and he pulled it out.Tediously, he stared at the identification card smudged between his fingers tips then glanced back at his sleeping ex wife before shoving it back into his pocket.Well, it had served its use; there was no need for him to keep it around after today.** ** ** **For Alexandra who had fallen asleep easily, morning came in a blink of an eye.

    No matter how desperate she may have been at that moment to lay out her bait for the biggest fish, Alexandra couldn't rush to see someone while still dressed in the clothes she had worn for a whole day and slept in. Her soul just wouldn’t allow her, so firstly, before anything else, she needed to rush back home and freshen up, have a change of clothes before zooming off to wherever it was she wanted to go.Or so her perfect plan had been painted out in her head. Upon arriving at her house, by the foot of her gate, Daniel stood with his arms crossed boldly over his chest. Obviously at first she had just thought of ignoring him and driving pass, but then he stepped in her way, refusing to budge even after all the screams that had been thrown his way by the security. They were just about to forcefully throw him out of the way when Alexandra stuck her arm out of her window and raised it, telling her security men to stand down.As she stepped out, Daniel shot despiteful glares at her, not

    Her very being emitted aura of superiority. Stefan could feel it as he sat in her presences. He wasn’t sure whether it was the way she carried herself or just the way she had been born. Either one, Nature or nurture, she didn’t seem like one to fool around or to try and fool.“This is a fair Bargain Mr. Miller, so what do you say?” Her voice had a sweet yet intimidating tune to it and accompanied by the way she had dressed, the blonde looked like the angel of death in his eyes. Only that she wasn’t, she was herself, the real and truest version of Alexandra Grey that could ever exist.“Having your uncles arrested, doesn’t that diminish the capability of Grey Enterprise? What gain would you have then?” Stefan asked.“I stand to gain a lot. Let’s be transparent here Mr. Miller, I sent you those documents because no other person seemed suitable for this job. It’s a win-win so why don’t we stop prolonging this and be our best versions while we cooperate.”“And if I refuse?” Stefan dared to

    “I’ve bought back the snacks you lent me.”Darius typed the message on his phone, read it once then clicked on the send icon.Seconds later a reply came. “I shared them with you; there was no need for you to refund me.”He read the reply and nodded his head, typing a reply of his own. “Does that mean I can eat it? You sure you don’t want it?”“Touch even one of my Mochi and I’ll make sure you never get a single job in the whole of Seattle.”Darius read her reply and snorted. Was she really being so extra over one silly snack? Without bothering to reply, the noirette placed his phone down and went back to what he had previously been doing. He ruffled his small hand towel around his hair in a bid to get out the water and then after a while, he tossed the towel away and exhaled.A cool shower after his evening workout was always the best option. It was the only thing that seemed to put his mind at ease and calm his pounding heart down.Strolling over to his fridge, Darius glanced at the

    ~Five years Later.~Alexandra stood in front of her parent's grave- both Cory, Nova and Miguel- dressed in a fashionable black dress that draped down as far as her knee.Her hair- which had now grown back to it's full length- was packed up neatly and rolled into a bun at the end, accompanied by the black net cap she had on her hair.Alexandra stood with a bouquet of white roses in her right hand and daisies from the nearby meadow on the left. Those were not only symbols of peace, love, and hope but also reminders that life was still going on. She looked around slowly as if giving herself a moment to reflect upon how things have changed since then.Five years ago, when she had lost everyone she loved and was shattered to the core after her divorce with Lucien, Alexandra thought her life would never be same again. She had felt helpless and hopeless that time even with all the power and must accomplish goals, but now as she looked at both her adoptive mother and Biological mother grave w

On her way there, she couldn't stop herself from asking all the what ifs, re-running even those possibilities that did not exist in her head as she drove.What if something happened to Darius?What if some enemy of hers got to him?What it Eleanor had sent someone after him?By the time she turned up in front of the given location, her mind was feeling with all sort of possiblities that she didn't even know that the house she had pulled up in front of was one of Darius's.It was only after she had rushed up to the front door and found it open that she took the time to examine her surrounding and this only made her worry all the more.Whoever she was going up against now had been smart enough to bypass Darius and his security and even broke into his house.Alexandra had felt her mind begining to reel once more when she calmed herself and reminded herself that she dealt with El

    ~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?" Darius was angry, but then seconds later, his face crumbled and a tinge of guilt set in.I'd the waiter had only reported their conversation that day and Eleanor found out about their unborn child, then it was his fault. He couldn't stop his

    Eleanor pressed the button and imagine in that moment how it all played out.The best part of it all being that Alexandra was finally out of the way and she had emerged victorious after the long battle.No other thought could have made her smile the way she did.Eleanor's train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. 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?' She thought after a while as she answered the call and placed her phone to her ear."Who is this?" She asked sternly.The other end of the line was silent for a while. Eleanor could make out the sound of someone mumbling in the background and then th

    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. Today, she had escaped by miracle- miracle meaning that she had made more th

    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
