"You are Excused, Alexander"

Chapter 3 

Alexander pov 

Isabella flinched as I told her about her father's deeds. I was angry at myself after hurting and bullying her in high school I'm doing it again but she provoked me, She didn't turn around and waited for me to finish.

"I hope not. He was just doing this for his own reasons. Isabella, are you naive or what? He made a deal with my father so it could be beneficial for both companies, but most likely your company or, dare I say your father's company."

"he didn't tell you about the alliance they made together without considering our well-being if we are okay with this Arranged marriage," I said coldly to which she turned around and waited to listen to me I could see the eagerness in her brown eyes to know all about her father plans. 

She had provoked me to the point I was snapping at her to wake up to this cruel reality and she took a step in front of me and said "Is this all, are you done?" I narrowed my eyes at her blank voice.

"Excuse me?" I said wanting to know what she meant by that her eyes being emotionless. "well, You are excused, Alexander." My name didn't sound good from anyone's mouth before. I thought she was going to pull a fight with me like a brat, but she turned around and started walking towards her car.

I didn't stop her and walked towards my car as well as sat inside and nodded at my driver the engine roared to life in Brooklyn's busy streets, I pushed my head my headrest and sighed and message my temples tonight was a big night. 

I know I had hurt her and I'm already regretting my actions, I shouldn't have said that much it's her personal matter with her father but why is she even agreeing to this marriage? I know she's very capable of making her own company.

Then why is she so passionate about her father's company, I know her father and my father arranged my marriage with her older sister but she died in an accident, she didn't make it and after that, things were okay but just the day before yesterday.

My father told me that he had made a deal with her father and now I have to marry Isabella Moretti the girl I had been addicted to since high school days, I used to bully her because every girl looked my way whenever I played football, and because of my reputation of football teams captain.

Isabella was the only girl who hadn't looked my way just buried her face in her books, I saw her in different places like the library and basketball hall when it was empty just sitting there and reading her novels.

And no I wasn't stalking her she just happened to be wherever I roamed around the campus. Then after sometime after her sister died she started coming very less and her grades were getting low i often saw her crying when she thought she was alone and nobody would notice her.

Then after some time, I stopped bullying her and making a boundary between us but It got hard for me. I was too obsessed with her to the point, I felt a need to protect her.

is it good to feel all of this to a woman who I bullied to the point if anyone could have been in her place they would have cried but she never showed any kind that she needed help, she would fight back with me which made me whipped for her.

she would pull the prank back at me which I had pulled on her that made me annoyed and somewhat proud of my girl. her anger is something you don't wanna get near I'd risk myself to her and she would beat me with her books as well.

I chuckled at the memory she was very adorable at that time, I still remember I was grinning she was hitting hard more I grinned, more she hit me but that hit was light as a feather.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when the driver pulled in front of my penthouse. I got inside my penthouse and after freshening through on some trousers and a shirt entered my study and made myself a cup of coffee sat on my desk and looked through some files.

I got a text message from my father, I looked to find "Alexander our important Assets were stolen from the company call me when you see this text." I narrowed my eyes who could it be and what happened to the goddamn security.

No one can enter without the passwords where our assets were kept and only my father and I know the password then who could have stolen yeah my best friend Gabrial Ward also knows he rarely comes to the company and my right hand very trusted man Henry Miller.

I quickly called my father "Alexander." his voice was low in worry "Father, did you find some clue, who might have stolen the Assets." I said in a gruff voice.

"No, some of our men are trying to find but there is no clue," he said after a moment. "Don't worry Father I'll work on it and see what I can do," I said in a determined tone.

After consoling him the line went dead I called Gabrial my best friend who is a tech genius and owns a tech company. after two rings he responds, "Hey, man how did you suddenly remember you have a best friend huh?"

I know the bastard must be grinning "Not now man I need your help." after hearing my serious voice he asked. "What happened, is everything okay Alexander?" I sighed and explained everything to him he was curious as well who might have stolen it.

"Don't worry Alexander I'm on it I will try hacking some of your hidden cameras and look what I could find I'll let you know," he said casually as he talked to his clients. "Thanks, man I owe you one." 

There was humor in his voice he chuckled "Okay next time drinks on you." I know he must be grinning at the phone like an idiot I chuckled and replied "Sure" and after a while, I cut the call and sank to my chair with a thud.

Today has been a long and difficult day and my thoughts drifted to Isabella she's the only woman I felt happy thinking about after my mother. I don't have a mother she left me alone in this cruel world.

I still remember she was the ray of light to our dark world but she left me with my father who has become a workaholic, cold, distant, rude man.

My phone lit up again and I groaned it started ringing, I answered it to hear a melodic voice and there was silence on the other side which I broke by "I guess when you call someone you need to say something as well, Bella."
