A considerate amount of time had passed since the whistle for hunting break went off. Eleanor watched as her granddaughter interacted with her father, smiling widely after her commendable return and catch. The elderly woman had never know Vivian had it in her to capture a moving target and to do it on her own alone, that certainly surpassed her expectation.As if feeling her grandmother’s eyes on her, the brunette turned around and with a wide smile, and waved her way. The elderly woman waved back before turning her attention to the person beside her.“Hope our family hunt is treating you well, Mr. Bianchi?”“Certainly!” The elderly man chirped as he took a sip from his glass of refreshing juice. He let out a groan of satisfaction before turning to face Eleanor. “It has surpassed whatever rumors have been building in the outside world for decades.”Eleanor chuckled. “I’m glad to hear that, but please, be sure to keep whatever happens here a secret.”“Does that grant me another ticket
Things weren’t going Eleanor’s way. This little fact nearly drove her over the edge.As soon as Alexandra left and all the guests were seen out, the elderly woman matched into the dining hall and screamed in frustration as she destroyed the dining layout. The sound of culinary falling to the floor and glass breaking did not sooth her mood in the slightest.She just couldn’t understand why Alexandra was being so defiant. Even after all the talk they have had so far, she still could bring out a valid reason for the blonde’s relentless pursue to drag her down. So what if she had killed Miguel and Nova? If only Alexandra knew what they had both done.Even for her it was heartless. And what they both planned to do to her… the entire Grey family after that, it was just too much.“She knows nothing.” Eleanor muttered as she stalked towards the window overlooking the forest. “I’m protecting her. All I’m doing and have ever done was for the benefit of this family! She should be thankful, so wh
Flashing lights and blurry faces, they all flashed before Alexandra’s eyes as she slipped in and out of consciousness. In each moment, she could make out a certain word said by a different person. Unfamiliar voices and hospital beeping machine surrounded her.The blonde knew she wasn’t going to die, the injury inflicted on her during the car accident wasn’t that great enough to claim her life, but still, that didn’t stop every part of her body from aching like hell. But then she remembered Michael and didn’t want to stay still for another second longer. She tried opening her eyes but ultimately failed. At the end, she settled for a few hours of rest and recovery before taking any immediate action. Maybe then she’d have a clearer mind and not actually want to murder her uncles** ** ** **The water was hot and with each drop that ran down his back, his unstable thoughts seemed to come to a calm. After his hour long shower, Darius turned off the tap and stepped out. He dried his body an
The drive towards the hospital felt slow and almost excruciating. It was around three in the morning but yet there still seemed to be an amount of traffic on the road. It took him quite some time, but successfully, Darius arrived at Grey Enterprise’s medical center.He rushed in almost immediately and walked to the counter.“Alexandra Grey, where is she?”“Hello, may I ask how you are related to the chairwoman?” The receptionist politely asked, making sure to remain in character despite of his sudden apperance.“I’m a friend of hers.” Darius informed with urgency.“Okay. If you could please sign here.” She placed forth a clipboard. Darius collected it and quickly drew down his signature. “Okay, the chairwoman was just moved out of the ICU and is currently resting in room six twenty. Doctor Eliot is currently running some final check ups on her so if you have any question, please ask him.”Room six twenty. Darius kept the number in his mind as he jogged forward, rushing towards the des
He was always there. Everywhere she went, Lucien had always been there, and that was one thing that baffled Alexandra about his existence. Lucien was unaware of this, and the more he tried putting his presence back into her life, the more she shrank away, scared to be hurt by the man she had once loved but broken by.She wanted to minimize contact with him as much as possible, but Lucien wanted the opposite. Staring at the redhead standing at the door, her face slowly fell and all the relief and assurance she had felt seconds ago while speaking with Darius slowly began to dissipate.Staring at her emotionless face, Lucien felt like he wasn’t welcome at the moment, but despite that, he pushed forward and asked. “Mind if I come in.”Alexandra swallowed as her eyes fluttered. Weakly, she nodded her head. “Suit yourself.”After her words, Lucien took his time stepping in. He gently closed the door behind him before proceeding towards her hospital bed. He stopped at the foot of the bed and
Not long after Lucien had left, the night sky opened their door and it began to rain down, as if the universe was rubbing Alexandra’s ordeal in her face. The blonde stayed quiet and blankly stared at the empty flower vase, planning her next moves out.The door to her hospital wing pulled open, distracting her from whatever plan she had been brewing in the past five minute of silence. Darius stepped in with his hands half full of snack bars and a can of coke. After he had closed the door, he stood in his spot and looked around the room, sensing something was definitely off from when he had first left.“Did something happen while I was away?” He questioned with narrowed eyes.Alexandra chuckled. Once again he had read the room with she even needing to tell him. He was weird; his presence annoyed her and at time made her feel safe. It was like he was this sort of protection bubble that she so desperately wanted to get rid of, but each time she remembered how it has comforted and kept her
Listening to the sound of the hospital monitoring machines beep loudly, Alexandra stared down at Michael as he laid unconscious in his hospital bed, dressed in a patient gown and covered with small bruises all over. The assistant’s face looked nearly drained of any color it usually held during their working hours, and along with the bruises, scratches and oxygen mask placed over his nose, it proved to be the worst state Alexandra had ever seen him in.Her heart clenched and her jaws along with it. Harming her was one thing, but harming the people close to her was another. If after this Eleanor still bore a wild dream that she was going to go easy on them, then she was the biggest dreamer Alexandra had ever met, because she was going to put them through whatever hell Michael was going through.Sure, murder was illegal, but no one said anything about assault. Maybe just a few beatings here and there. This time around, she was ready to play their game their way.“Following the examinatio
Several days had gone by since that main incident. Four days if Alexandra was to be precise. In those four days it had nearly been like hell for the blonde. Theodore had made it his duty to monitor her every move in those days. He stuck around, did work while in her room and only ever left after getting important calls from his company and father, Darius on the other hand only popped in once in a while. Never the less, she appreciated their concerns and the free time Alexandra got to herself she’d spend it in the hospital’s green house which she had just installed recently. Although it wasn’t as glorious as Bianchi medical center’s green house, the garden still held some worth of its own.Today being one of those days, Alexandra had decided to spend it in the comfort of the hospital’s garden again. She sat on the stationed bench there and glanced at the flowers, especially enjoying the ones that were finally in blooming season. The scent and pleasant aromas really did calm her mind an
