2023-02-12 06:30:48The butler handed us the menu.
The cuisine was quite new to me as if I'd just read the names for the first time even though as far as I knew, I've been living in the country for most of my life.
Unable to decide what to eat, Lucas did the ordering himself, carefully selecting the food which he thinks we will both like.
The butler left with the list of our order.
While waiting for our orders to arrive, Lucas lit the remaining candles on the center table, thus filling the air with the relaxing scent of fresh rosewood.
The soft lights coming from the candle, accompanied with the moonlight illuminate his face, making him look like a demigod with his strong, aristocratic features.
I tried to tear my gaze off his face but it's impossible now that I found myself drawn into him.
I knew exactly why women were drawn towards him despite his no

Lucas Alexander looked at the frail body lying on the bed with defeat and hopelessness in his hazel-green eyes. It's been six hours but she hasn't awakened yet. Ever since he'd rushed her to the hospital, he never left her side, hoping he'll be the first one to witness as she opens her eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat with difficulty. Stressed out and feeling he will lose his damn mind, he began pacing back and forth as though it will solve all his problems. He shouldn't have left her in the pool alone. He thought, wanting to beat himself to a pulp for what happened to her. Max, his best friend, told him it wasn't his fault but he knew it was entirely his own. He left her alone, somehow she'd got bored of waiting and decided to take a walk. That's when she slipped on the edge and fell to the pool where she drowned. If only he hadn't left her… If only he didn't take his time on the ph

My eyes slowly opened and my eyes immediately feasted on the sleeping man beside my bed. His head was resting on the soft white sheets. Despite the tired lines and dark circles under his eyes, he still looked incredibly handsome in his sleep.A faint smile stretched on my lips. Lifting my hands to run my fingers through the morning stubbles on his chin, I suddenly stopped before I could touch his skin. I might wake him up and I don't want that to happen. He looked visibly tired and badly needed sleep so I content myself by just watching him.He never left my side. I thought to myself as tenderness swell inside my chest like an enormous air balloon. Though I know Lucas didn't care that much about me but I was happy knowing he stayed by my side all throughout the evening after I fell into the pool and drowned.Recalling what exactly happened the previous evening, wiped the smile on my lips. I didn't accidentally fall

When Lucas was gone, I finally turned to Samantha. As I did so, I caught her noticeably worried expression. Before I could speak however, she already had her speech prepared. "You got me so worried!" She blurted out loud, brushing her long dainty fingers on her hair exasperatingly. "Lucas called me at two in the morning! Could you believe that? Two in the morning!" She repeated, shaking her head in disbelief. "I was still snoring on my bed when I received his call, informing me you're in the hospital. He dropped the news like a bomb. Imagine my fear and shock, I literally fell off my bed after hearing it. I just felt my spirit depart from my body for a whole minute." Sam's fingers flail in the air as she expresses her thoughts.I let her grumble interrupted until she got tired and collapsed on the chair Lucas vacated like a withered plant deprived of water and sunlight. "I haven't slept since two am after receiving the news you drowned. Mr. Alexander told me the

A glass of cold water was what finally calmed Samantha down. Heaving a dramatic sigh, she finally looks at me with her eyes resigned and believing. "I do believe you now." She responds wearily while lowering her empty glass on top of the table."Are you okay now?" I asked her gently."Not yet but I will soon be, okay." She replies, absentmindedly bringing the glass back to her lips only to find it empty so she puts it back down without touching it again.I couldn't blame her over the top reaction. It's not everyday she encounters a Pandora's box, filled with hidden secrets, lies, and drama."At this point, nothing could surprise me now, Bella …. So tell me, is there something more you have to confess?"Filling my chest with air, I briefly considered not telling her the truth but If I wanted Sam to help me, she deserved to know everything. I vanished the scintilla of doubts

"I will do what!?" Samantha gaped at me incredulously as though it was the craziest news she had ever heard today. The pale look on her face told me she wasn't prepared for the news."Meet my husband, Eros Valentino." I explained to her calmly. "Tell him I'm alive.""You make it sound so easy as if I'll tell him about the weather, not an attempted murder." Sam mumbled under her breath while shaking her head. "I doubted if I'd even be allowed to enter his office without an appointment."Flashing her with a wicked smile, I lowered my voice even if no one could hear us. "You're not meeting him inside his office, Samantha.""Pray tell where?""You're going to let yourself in and catch him alone in his condominium.""Are you out of your mind? That's trespassing, I could be sent to jail for that." Her terrified eyes confronted mine.

Scarlet's dramatic arrival, accompanied by her stone-heavy accusation completely startled me out of my wits that it took me seconds to entirely collect my scattered thoughts.Staring back at her with the same piercing glare she'd thrown at me, my lips stretched into an atrocious smile Joker would be so proud of. "Pleased to see you, Miss Ross. However, I don't recall writing your name on my visitor's list."Surveying her black outfit from head to toe, my smile stretched wider, finding it entertaining to finally see her wearing such an unflattering color on her skin "Have you come here to fetch my soul?""Excuse me?" Unable to understand my meaning, her mouth parted open. Her elegant eyebrows almost met halfway as she frowned at me."She's not the Grim Reaper, Mrs. Angelstone." Samantha bit her lips to suppress her laughter. Still, her twinkling eyes refused to hide her mirth. "She looked like one though." She added, deepening the frown on Scarlet's temples."Well," I began after cleari

A few days later, the hospital discharged me.Samantha had left a day ago, but until now I have not received a single call from her. I'm still waiting, though, wondering if the plan went well.Lucas took me home from the hospital. While I sat still beside him inside the car, my mind skittered.He'd changed a lot. I thought to myself, eye secretly observing him as he drove.A thick and long wall now stood between us. It popped out of nowhere. I wonder what made him change in an instant. He did not even say anything when I got inside the car and he took the driver's seat.Is he still blaming himself that I almost drowned? It was possible. He could be, for I could think of nothing explaining why he was slowly drifting away. Still, I wasn't certain it was the main reason. For all I know, he might have been suspecting I wasn't his real wife.I'd better be careful from now on. I reminded myself with a heavy sigh. If he finds out I'm fake, he will have me banished from his life right away.

Someone's death shouldn't be something I should be glad about. It wasn't my intention to kill him. And if I were to express how sorry I am that he died, I would let my life be taken instead of his. Regrets aside, a part of me felt relieved at the thought that even though I did not intentionally want to take a life, it saved someone's life, Sara Donovan's life in particular.Hearing her abused story, and seeing the anguish written all over her miserable countenance as she spilled everything to me gave me an overwhelming relief that at last the burden she carried over her fragile shoulders for a long time, was finally gone and she can finally live her life at peace."I know I shouldn't be saying this but after his death I never shed a tear. All I could feel as the news sank in was relief that the man who made my living hell was gone." Sara wiped the tear off her cheeks. "I didn't even feel sadness even though he's gone because I know that it would not make any difference, he's still gon

"Are you still leaving?" Lucas asked me after a moment of pause. Sadness shone in his eyes. At that moment he looked like an adorable puppy melting my heart. "I have important matters to attend to, being the CEO of AA Cosmetics," I replied, my tone apologetic. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "If only I don't have to attend to my responsibilities then I could just stay. However, I will lose not only millions but the company I worked hard for if I don't take care of it. I have responsibilities that I can't neglect."He sighed, running a hand through his tousled hair. "I understand," he murmured under his breath, his eyes never leaving mine. "But will you come back?" he asked, hope shining in his eyes. I paused, taking a moment to gather my thoughts."I promise I'll be back in a month," I told him, trying to give him some reassurance. "I won't let our time together end like this." Lucas cleared his throat. "What if you find someone else while you're away?" he asked, his brows f

I gazed at the necklace in awe, tears fell down my flushed cheeks. Hastily, I wiped it away before the child could notice and inquire about my tears. I didn't want Niall to witness my sorrow, fearing that he might feel the same way. It was too painful for me to bear.I took the necklace from the velvet box and held it up, admiring its beauty carefully. The child is so thoughtful, remembering to give me a gift. It makes me more guilty to explain to him that I'll be gone from the house and will probably never return.Gently, I put it around my neck. The cool silver chain rested against my skin, the stones creating a dazzling display of color in the soft light of the room. It was the first and probably the last gift I received from him and I will forever treasure it."It looks perfect on you, Mom." he said softly, his eyes shining with pride. "I knew you would like it."I reached up to touch his cheeks and whispered, my voice thick with emotion. "Thank you, Niall….This is so beautiful. I

When Sam and I parted ways, I didn't head straight home, wanting to have a moment to myself. Deep in thought, I realized that with my twin sister gone, I have to go back to my old life as Arabella Angelstone, the CEO of AA cosmetics to fulfill my responsibility.It's been a long time since I've handled the company on my own. But with everything finally back in its place it's clear that I have to take over.I experienced a twinge of sadness thinking about leaving the Alexander mansion and saying goodbye to the cherished memories and loved ones I hold dear. Lucas and Niall, in particular, hold a special place in my heart. Although Niall may not be my biological child, as my twin's son, he feels like my own.I had a strong desire to remain in the mansion, creating more memories with Niall and Lucas. Sadly, I couldn't find a valid reason to stay. The relationship between Lucas and myself is unclear. I am unsure of where I stand in his life and know that one day he will find the woman he w

When we reached home, the first light of dawn pierced through the dark sky. Lucas and I quickly went to Niall's room to check on him. Finding the little boy peacefully asleep relieved my anxiety. Afterwards, we headed straight to bed, craving a few hours of rest.The night had been intense, unforgettable. While Lucas drifted into a deep slumber, I stayed awake, observing the steady rhythm of his breathing, thinking I'm going to miss him when I'm gone.I tried to push the thought out of my mind but I couldn't. My time in this house was limited. I couldn't stay here forever, this isn't my home. Eventually, I would have to go back to my old life as Arabella Angelstone, a businesswoman accustomed to being alone.I gently brushed a strand of hair away from his face, feeling a pang of regret. But if Lucas were to express a desire for me to stay, I would consider it. But the reality was, that was not an option as he harbored no feelings for me.I couldn't find the courage to confess my feeli

"I have a gun, Bella. If you make so much as a scream, I'll kill Niall next door."I froze, my heart sinking to the pit of my stomach "No you won't." I gasped, "He's your son.""Do you think I won't kill him?" Her laughter filled the air with chill. "I once killed you… I won't hesitate to get rid of my son for the sake of revenge.""You're evil!" My teeth clenched."Is that a compliment?" Alexandria giggled. "Turn around, I want to witness the fear in your eyes when I get rid of you."I obediently did what she told me. She was wearing a servant's uniform, and concealed her hair color behind a brunette wig. No wonder no one noticed her sneak in, she blended well with her disguise."You won't get away with this." "Oh, really? I've done this before Bella. I was never caught and I'm sure not this time."Her lips curled into a smug smirk. "Lucas will take time to return, by the time he reaches here, you'll be dead."Shock reverberated through me. Panic threatened to consume me, but I ref

Three days later.I took a deep breath and strode inside the study, clutching the DNA result which arrived from the lab this morning.What I have to say to Lucas would change everything.As I approached him, I noticed a furrowed brow and a slight hunch in his posture. He was completely engrossed in the papers scattered across his desk, and seemed oblivious to my presence. It was as if the world around him had faded away, leaving only the task at hand to capture his attention.I didn't want to interrupt him, but what I have to say can't wait.""Lucas."With a lift of his gaze, he met my eyes. His frown, which had been etched on his face just a moment prior, vanished in an instant."Is there anything you need?" he inquired, rising from his chair and striding purposefully in my direction.I shook my head and handed him the envelope which I had already read."A DNA result?" His frown returned and he unfolded the paper. As he finished reading, a look of indescribable shock washed over his

"I just want to talk to you," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "I know you're angry with me, but I think we need to clear the air.Ms. Hamilton crossed her arms and shot me a murderous glare. "And why should I talk to you? You slept with my fiancé.""No, we never slept together. I lied to you because I was envious of your relationship and I wanted to destroy it but after I learned you're pregnant I felt guilty and wanted to correct my mistakes.As the conversation between us started to heat up, Peterson finally got in between."Alexandria is telling the truth, Lily....Nothing happened between us!" He exclaimed, his thick brows almost meeting halfway in frustration.Peterson continued on, " She made everything up! She lied to everyone, trying to ruin my reputation!""I cannot believe what you have done," she said, her voice trembling with anger, her eyes never once leaving my face.I took a deep breath, aware of a countless pair of eyes watching us like a freak show.

As I walked down the stairs, I felt the soft rustle of my cocktail gown brushing against the polished wooden steps. I had spent hours getting ready for this moment - carefully applying makeup, curling my hair, and choosing the perfect dress - all to impress Lucas, who was waiting for me at the bottom of the staircase.He looked up as I approached, a slow smile spreading across his face. "You look stunning," he said, his eyes drinking in the sight of me. "Absolutely breathtaking."I couldn't help but blush at his words, feeling a rush of excitement and anticipation fill me. "Thank you," I mumbled.Lucas took my hand and led me towards the door, his touch sending shivers down my spine. "Are you ready to go?" he asked, his voice low and husky.I nodded, feeling a sudden burst of confidence. This was it - the moment I had been waiting for. With Lucas by my side, I knew anything was possible.As we stepped out into the night air, I felt his hand slip around my waist, pulling me close. "You

"Eros was so worried about you, Bella. He thought you're dead.""Oh my god. I felt so terrible. " I bit my lower lip. "How was he doing?" Sam took a deep breath. "Well, before I explained to him what had happened to you, he was utterly devastated. Somehow he was relieved to know you're doing fine.""Phew... I hope he understands that I can't just show up without knowing the situation there first. I wouldn't want to spoil our plans by revealing to Alexandria that my memory has returned.""Don't worry Bella, Eros understands. In fact he said it's better you stay here for a while until Alexandria is caught."Feeling a pulsing ache in my head, I begin to gently rub my temples. "She's as elusive as a fish," I mutter to myself, "I wonder where we should even start looking for her.""You don't have to search for Alexandria. Eventually, she will come to you to finish on her own accord."I raised an eyebrow in confusion, "What exactly do you mean, Samantha?"She leaned back in her chair, tak
