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
“You’re just going to let her go?” Darius asked as he sat down on Alexandra’s hospital bed and watched as she watch the fired nurse through the blinds of her window, index finger pushing the curtain to the side.“Yeah.” She answered with her gaze still trained on outside, head tilted to the side.“Don’t you want her arrested for invasion of privacy or something like that?”Alexandra scoffed as she stepped away from the window, fixing her gaze on the male seated on her bed. “What’s the fun then?” She questioned, earning a look of scrutiny from Darius, but before he could question her intent, she spoke up again. “That reminds me, weren’t you meant to be somewhere? Why were you at the green house after you had left?”To answer her question, Darius reached into the pocket of his summer coat and fetched out a small slender object. He tossed it to her just as she sat down on the chair facing her hospital bed.The blonde caught it with easy and opened her palm. There, in the center of her pa
From the comfort of the back seat of her car, Alexandra surveyed the venue for Eleanor’s birthday celebration and watched as people flocked in. The party was already in full swing and bustling with well wishers for Eleanor. Alexandra had no such intention. Unlike the rest of the guests attending today, she didn’t come here to smile and utter fake words, her purpose was different and set in stone, nothing was going to change her mind.Her gaze was pulled away from the venue by the vibration of her phone. She glanced at the device laying beside her and reached for it. On, turning the screen on, it was a message from Theodore.The words simply read. “Found him.”Alexandra smiled. Perfect. The pieces of her plan were finally complete. How easy was her life being right now?Without further a due, she swiped the message away and reached for her burner phone. She texted Stefan a location and tucked the burner phone away in the secure hold of her glove compartment. When she was sure that ever
The amount of anxiousness Eleanor felt but kept hidden, Alexandra could feel. No matter how much she tried to bury the emotion, some part of her still gave it off.Taking a sip from the wine she had just picked up, Alexandra scanned the room for a certain person, her smile broadening when her eyes landed on the approaching figure. Stefan walked his way up to her, weaving through the small amount of crowd that blocked his way every now and then. When he arrived in front of her, the brunette gave her a cut nod and bowed his head to which she responded with a nod of her own.“Did you receive my little present well?” Alexandra asked with a subtle smile on her lips. Stefan nodded his head. “Good, le talk on the balcony, it’d be more convenient there.” She suggested and began leading the way towards the designated location, only stopping once when she felt Eleanor’s piercing gaze on the back of her head.She looked over her shoulder and allowed her smile expanded. Raising her wine glass, sh
“So tell me, now that you’ve met me in person, do I live up to the rumors.”Was she what the rumors had made her out to be? The two females really couldn’t find an answer out for that question in their shivering minds, but one thing they did know was that Alexandra’s beauty and elegance far surpassed anything the rumors had ever try to make her look like. Under her razor sharp doll gaze, they slowly began to feel suffocated and any sign of their previous pompous attitude slowly withered away.Alexandra stared at the ladies with now folded arms as the bucket laid by her and she awaited their answers; not like she really needed it.“I thought you both had a mouth full of things to say about me?” She questioned coldly. The girls gulped. Sure, they had indeed heard more than a hundred gossip about the female herself, but now that they were in her suffocating presence, they dare not mention a word.Slowly, they were both beginning to regret what they had said about Alexandra’s mother witho
It was all as she planned.From the center of the crowd, Alexandra watched on as the chaos brewed. When it was almost at its peak, she grabbed a glass of wine-her third one for the night- and slowly sipped on it. Eleanor seemed on the edge but surely unsuspecting of what she was about to pull off. From the side of her vision, Alexandra could see Stefan bringing in the person whom he had once introduced to her as his partner. The man towered just slightly above the brunette and together, they indeed looked like the right set of individuals to be paired together. At least Winfred had used his brain once.When they both spotted her amongst the crowd, Stefan nodded subtly in her direction. Alexandra dismissed it without a thought and turned her attention back to the stage in front. She didn’t need them to be throwing greetings and acknowledgement her way right now, what she needed them both to do was act according to how they had planned, caring out their plan without any hiccups and seei
The news of Benjamin and Daniel’s arrest spread like wild fire. Within two days since the incident, many news station and journalists had sent Alexandra a request for an interview. Of course being the woman she was, the blonde flat out denied all their interviews and focused on work, seeing as her workload had been doubled due to Michael’s absence. However, there seemed to be a certain journalist who was hell bent on getting an interview.Unlike the rest and the ones before her-Annabel Cross- the female was persistent and in the two days since the incident she had sent over a hundred requests, not for once sleeping or relaxing on the go when Alexandra rejected her interview. It was getting annoying for the blonde, but what could she do, Annabel was simply doing her job to put food on her table, she knew that, and that was one of the reasons why she hadn’t requested an order for her to stay away.Today being one of the two days since the incident, Alexandra gave the letter in her hand
