“ Why in the world did you slap me just now?” Nathaniel asked the latter in denial and that infuriated Alexandrine even more than she was before showing up at his doorstep. “ Really now, Nathaniel? Do you not know the reason for my presence?”The anger Alexandrine had at that time only intensified as she asked along the lines, “ How long are you going to play dumb for?” Shouting even further at the end of her statement, Nathaniel finally made some kind of a response.“ Wow, Alexandrine, you’re even more beautiful when you’re angry. I love it!” He smirked in sarcasm. Alexandrine was furious at his audacity. Judging by the expression she was currently making, he uttered, “ Sorry for making fun of you earlier. It wasn’t my intention, believe it or not.” Adding further to his claim, he said, “ It’s just that I haven’t had the chance to contemplate you in so long that I wanted to take advantage of it for a slightly bit longer. Tell me you’re not angry at me or I’m afraid I’ll be tremendous
Alexandrine walked inside the villa right after settling things with Tina. Banging against the door, she subconsciously wondered, “ Those two are sick in the head. They’re both crazy and need immediate treatment.”“ My lady, are you alright?” One of the housemaids asked her tenderly. “ Yes, I’m fine, Louise.” She responded as she harbored a lightheaded grin to her at the same time. Louise looked at her, not seeming all that convinced by her explanation, “ Are you sure you’re alright, my lady?”Louise’s eyes were reflecting tenderness and care. At that moment, Alexandrine realized how much the house staff cared deeply for her, a care she had never once spotted due to going through so many hardships in the past. “ Why wouldn’t I be?” She asked Louise who said, “ Ms. Tina came here looking for you and she was furious when we refused to let her in.” Pausing for an instant, she continued, “ And then, you came looking upset and out of it, so I thought—---------” Alexandrine stopped her befo
“ What should I wear to the hospital?” Alexandrine couldn’t quite decide on what to wear to the hospital. She had her clothes scattered across the room, unable to make a decision.“ My lady, what are you doing?” Two of the housemaids entered her room after knocking beforehand. The two housemaids were Laura and Louise. Upon seeing them, Alexandrine was somewhat happy. “ Why does the room look like that?” Laura commented, followed by Louise, “ And all these clothes? Would you happen to be going somewhere, my lady?”Alexandrine stopped searching for dresses for a moment and announced to the housemaids, “ Johnson regained consciousness not so long ago.” She muttered to which the housemaids overjoyed retorted, “ Master Santos finally came around; That’s great news, isn’t it, my lady?”As soon as the housemaids asked, they noticed her stiff expression and immediately asked, “ My lady, is it just me, or don’t you look happy with the news?” Laura was the first to forward her concern to Alexan
“ What is Johnson suddenly talking about?” Alexandrine subconsciously wondered as she looked pensive. “ The way he’s speaking isn’t like him. Could this be related to the accident that occurred at the cruise party several days back?”“ Don’t concern yourself with me and take the kids along with you!” “ The sooner you leave, the better.”While he was uttering all of that, Johnson didn’t look Alexandrine’s way even once. After a moment of silence, Alexandrine uttered in return, “ Why don’t you dare look at men when you’re speaking to me?” Johnson didn’t react, giving way to her to continue, “ Normally, you would look at me when spewing your venom, so why are you avoiding it?”Johnson wasn’t ready to face Alexandrine’s interminable questions. “ Do you remember that I asked you numerous times to let me go, but you wouldn’t cease my request, so why now, all of a sudden, you’re willing to let me go?” Alexandrine was adamant about getting answers from Johnson and so she kept pushing the matt
“ You wouldn’t have abandoned me in this situation.” She paused before adding, “ I’m doing what’s best for all.”At the sound of her last statement, Johnson let go of her, and looking apologetically at her, he muttered pretty sadly, “ Unfortunately, I didn’t do the same for you when you needed it. I did not take your side and let you suffer in silence all the times you had been slandered. I’m so sorry, Alexandrine. Even if I were to apologize all my life, it still wouldn’t be enough to compensate for all the pain and agony I’ve put you through over the years.”…Alexandrine wanted to mutter to him that it was okay and that she understood, but had she done that, that would have been an understatement. Although she knew the truth about Nathaniel and everything in between, that didn’t change the fact that she was deceived by all that she cared about. Looking into his eyes, she muttered, “ Let’s not bring up the past anymore because it stings!”…“ I’ll be on my way now. I just came to ch
Putting her hand over Mrs. Simmons's shoulder, Alexandrine muttered, " This wasn't your fault, so please don't blame yourself like this!"Looking over at her, she retorted, " Whose else fault would it be but mine?" Alexandrine was lost and didn't know how else to get Mrs. Simmons to calm down.As she tried to put herself in Rachel's shoes, she muttered, " I think I might know what your daughter was feeling and also why she might've done what she did."…" Your daughter, Rachel, was passionate about modeling and she wanted to do it no matter what. She wanted to see her dream materialize right before her eyes, even if that meant she'd be pushing herself to the limits in the process."Pausing for a moment, she continued, " Although she knew she had a condition that didn't permit her to go after that passionate dream, she still wanted to give it a go." " She wanted the chance to dream and experience what it felt like to be out there, giving it your all without restraint."As Alexandrine m
“ According to what this footage’s image is portraying, someone sneaked into the exhibition area the previous night as you can see.” Alexandrine kept looking at the surveillance footage nonstop. The unknown man’s face could barely be seen, so identifying him was difficult.“ How did you get ahold of this surveillance footage?” Alexandrine couldn’t help but ask Johnson who retorted, “ I asked my team to retrieve the surveillance footage from the event venue. I had my suspicions that the accident was intentional, so it was orchestrated by someone vile.As they kept watching the surveillance footage, they saw the man spreading a powder substance on the wedding dresses. The surveillance footage ended right after that. Looking at each other, they subconsciously thought, “ Could this powder be responsible for the models’ accidents?”“ What are you thinking about, Alexandrine?” Johnson asked, realizing she had gone pensive. In response, Alexandrine uttered, “ I was wondering whether that mys
The moment Alexandrine awoke after a few hours, she realized she was bound in an abandoned clothing factory. “ Once again, I was bound to something. When will all of this ever stop?” She subconsciously thought before hearing noises not far away from where she was bound.In a daze, she heard Tina and Nathaniel in conversation with one another. She could hear what they were talking about. “ Why have you kept her alive instead of killing her?” Tina was the first to speak and she was followed by Nathaniel who muttered in response, “ This isn’t as easy as you think it is, okay?”“ What’s not easy to do?” She retorted coldly, “ Instead of playing this game with me, why don’t you admit before me the real reason why you’re adamant about killing her?”…“ Why don’t you admit before me that you’re still infatuated with her and that’s the reason why you don’t want her dead?” Alexandrine kept listening in on their conversation and subconsciously thought, “ Those two have been working together all
