Why was he here?

What was he doing here?

In the briefest seconds of their encounter, these questions kept playing in Alexandra’s mind.

And as quickly as she could react, she pulled away from Lucien’s hold, almost stumbling back as she did so.

The action, however, made Lucien’s heart clench, something he was only experiencing for the first time since his knowing her.

The woman before him looked exquisite, very little of anything resembling Ariadne.

But without a doubt-when he held her in his arms, he could tell the female was his ex wife.

Her once brown hair flew freely around her shoulders, instead of her usual meek dressing.

The blonde adorned a crimson red one piece suit and a pair of matching heels. Her face had little to no makeup, but her tanned skin looked lovelier than ever. Lucien was genuinely stunned by her glow up.

In the short time since she had disappeared, she had glown up like a real life princess. Even Lucien, the man who she had lived with for almost five years, could

    “Ariadne!”On hearing his call, Alexandra harshly yanked her arm free, taking cautious steps back, and her assistant Michael taking several forward to serve as a protective shield.How dare he call her that name after all the things? The name he forced her to abandon.However, seeing Michael shrinking under the stern eyes, Alexandra finally waved the innocent assistant away.Why should she avoid it? She is Alexandra Grey, not his wife Ariadne Albrecht anymore.“Mr. Albrecht, please mind the way you behave in public.”Discarding her warning, Lucien charged on, plummeting her with questions. “Ariadne, what sort of a joke are you playing now?”“I wish I could ask you the same question, but sadly I don’t have time to waste now. Leave me, Mr. Albrecht.” Alexandra coldly retorted, once again surprising Lucien.“Answer the question, Ariadne!”“Alexandra.” She deadpanned. “My name is Alexandra not Ariadne. Ms. Grey to you or better, President Grey would suffice, Young Master Albrecht.” She pu

    “What happened to living under the radar?” Theodore questioned as he waited for Alexandra to respond to his discovery, the blonde already on her way to explore the forum which she soon came to know was a private one.Only people with given link or access could view the site.“Where did you find this?” She questioned, sending the link to her computer and getting to work. In matter of seconds, the post had disappeared, the page now showing an error message.Theodore huffed out in disappointment as he saw this. “Awn, I was kind of enjoying that.”“Do you want to honestly risk me being doxed for your entertainment?”From the other side, Theodore chuckled before switching the voice call to video. Alexandra accepted without hesitating.The instant she clicked on the button, a model like face occupied the other end of the screen. Long dirty yellow locks which were held up in a messy bun, a pair of ruby red eyes and thin lips similar to that of celebrities.Theodore being the successor of Lan

    No sooner than when Alexandra hung up did the troublesome duo walk in, agendas worn clearly on their sleeves and mouths ready for war.Alexandra, who had long awaited their arrival, leaned back in her chair and sized them up, seeing through their plots before it even begun.“Alex,” Daniel began, taking a step further than his brother. “Your uncle and I would like to discus something with you.”Benjamin nodded in agreement as Alexandra’s dull eyes met his.“Go ahead; after all, I too have something to say.”“We’re going to be brief and straight forward. Alex, as an elder and your uncle, we do not appreciate the way you treat us, and would like…” Daniel’s speech was brought to an abrupt end by the sound of his niece snickering.It was exactly as she had predicted.“Alex, your uncle is…” Benjamin began, his voice dying out as the blonde raised her palms, silencing him.“That’s enough. You’ve wasted your given time saying utter rubbish.” She sternly instructed. “My turn. Dear uncles, care

    Octavia looked at her phone’s screen, pleased with Lucas’s reply and Lucien’s answer. But still, some part of her felt unhappy.Lucas had clearly stated in the message that Lucien was going to be with her shortly after he handled some clients, this made her believe that she was less important to him.Yet she dare not complain, if she wanted her well concocted attitude to remain perfect.The bell above the door jingled as she stepped in, tucking the smart device away in her thousand dollar Gucci purse.“Welcome to Ez dresses. I hope your time here is memorable.” The girl standing behind the boutique’s counter welcomed.With orange curls hanging loosely over her shoulder, big green baby eyes and a height that most female customers found themselves envying, Quinn was the perfect eyes candy for a receptionist.Octavia strode over towards the counter, the guard Lucien had assigned following her closely behind. With one hand, she reached into her bag, fishing for her VIP card.“Hello, my na

    The sun shone vigorously through the blinds in Lucien’s home office. The male himself sat behind his work desk, wrinkles etched into the flawless skin of his forehead as he found it hard to concentrate on his current work.No matter how hard he tried, the redhead found his thoughts involuntarily going towards a certain blonde and their past encounter.With a sigh, Lucien placed down his pen, setting aside his current work and massaging his head.Almost as if hearing his sigh, there was a knock on the door and the next instant, Lucas entered.Seeing his employer distressed, he asked. “Young master, is there something I can assist you with?”Lucien shook his head. “Not at all.” His voice showed how tired he truly was. “How are things with Grey Enterprise?”The Assistant wasn’t surprise by this question. It wasn’t the first time Lucien was asking such after meeting with his ex wife.Straightening his back, Lucas brought forth his answer. “Their advertisement team just recently released a

    Octavia was in her usual spa, getting her skin, nail and face ready for the upcoming social event, when her phone dinged. The first time, she ignored it, but after the second and third notification, the noirette, frustrated, reached for her phone, pulling it out to check who it was that had decided to disturb her already planned out day.She wasn’t surprise when she saw the message was from Bianca, a maid who she had hired to watch Lucien.Don’t be surprised, the man was always up to things, so she needed a way to keep an eye on him, just like he did for her.The first message hadn’t set as much panic in her as the second. Next, she stared at the photo which had been sent to her, a picture of Lucien sleeping blissfully in Alexandra’s room and a photo of their wedding day lying beside him.If not for the fact that she was currently out in the eyes of the public, Octavia would have tossed her phone towards the nearest wall.With boiling hot blood, the noirette clutched onto her phone.‘

By the time she had let down her hair, threw on her gown, brushed up on a few makeup, Theodore and her were already running late.When she walked down the stair, Theodore whistled, pleased with her stunning appearance. The disagreement they had encountered over the phone a few days ago now long forgotten.“You look gorgeous Kitten.” He complimented as he stood up from the couch, meeting Alexandra halfway through the stairs.The blonde hair was still tied up in his signature playboy look.

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

    ~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?"

    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
