Attempted Murder?

Alexandrine was devastated at what had just occurred. She couldn't believe how the wedding show had turned into slandering accusations on her person that she had plagiarized her own designs. Who was Violet Sanders and why did she frame her? More importantly, what did Doriane think of all of this?

Thinking Doriane would certainly fire her now that the investors and collaborators had nullified the contract, she rushed to her office to justify herself before the latter made some baseless assumptions about her character.

" Boss, may I come in?" She knocked on Doriane's office but no response was coming out. Alexandrine began to panic, but when she saw her coming from the opposite side, she gave out a faint grin.

“ Alexandrine, what are you doing standing outside like this?” Doriane asked. “ Why didn’t you come in?” Alexandrine fixed her but did not see a glimpse of anger or disappointment on Doriane’s face. The only thing she saw was care and concern for her which wasn’t

    Alexandrine went inside Violet’s ward to seek an explanation from her but upon seeing her, she became fearful and started panicking.“ Get out! Get out!” She shouted as soon as she spotted her inside the ward. Alexandrine didn’t even have time to ask her for an explanation that she was asked to leave the ward by the doctors as Violet needed rest and tranquility.Outside, she met up with Nathaniel who asked her, “ So, how did it go? Did she reveal anything?” Alexandrine expressed her answer by nodding which he understood as not bearing any fruit.Nathaniel scoffed and muttered, “ Violet Sanders keeps insisting you’re the one who attempted to kill her in the car accident.” Alexandrine asked Nathaniel, “ What would my motive be in her scenario, huh?”Nathaniel’s response to that question was, “ To cover the plagiarism and because she went against you and denounced you for plagiarizing her designs.”“ What absurdity is this?” She was angry that someone she didn’t know and never heard of u

    Alexandrine cried throughout the night that when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were puffy from crying so much. Her tears had tried and yet, her heart still stunk from the pain. " Enough, Alexandrine! Enough! You can't keep suffering for that man who doesn’t give a damn about you or your feelings." She muttered as she stood up and headed to the washroom.Moments later, after taking a shower and clothing herself, she was about to make breakfast when her Bell rang." I'm coming!" Opening the door, Nathaniel was standing there with a tray. Alexandrine guessed by the tray he had brought breakfast for her, so she let him in." Were you planning on making breakfast?" She nodded in response and he muttered, " Then, I came just on time, didn't I?"He put the tray on the table and asked her, " How do you feel now, Miss?" He was immensely worried for her due to the bad experience she spent in prison for something unrelated to her.Alexandrine responded, " I'll be okay, Nathaniel, I'll be

Alexandrine nodded and muttered in response, " Yes, I must have eaten something inedible, but I'm fine now."" I'm glad to know you're okay." Nathaniel expressed his deepest emotions and Tina intervened at that time and asked, " Where did the two of you meet?"Alexandrine looked at her in annoyance. Why did she want to know all that? What was her problem? She wanted to ask her those questions but she held it in. Instead, she muttered to satisfy her curiosity, " We met at the police station where Nathaniel works at. It was thanks to your lover that our fateful encounter was possible. Do you remember the accident you were in?"Remembering the accident, Tina became irked and frustrated. To get back at Alexandrine for making her remember something unpleasant like her car accident, she suddenly muttered, " N

She muttered and as she was about to head into the kitchen, Johnson stopped her and asked, " May I come too?"" What would you be doing in the kitchen?" She asked in confusion. For the time they've been together, Johnson had never stepped into the kitchen. What did he want to do in the kitchen?

There was something about him that was different but she couldn't quite get nor understand what it was that was different about him." What do you say, Alexandrine?" He asked kindly.

His superior asked him and he responded in kind. " I'm here to ask you for a favor, sir."The superior looked at him very suspiciously and asked him straight away. " A favor? What kind of favor?"Nathaniel took deep breaths and answered, " I'd like to take some days off, Sir."Nathaniel's response shocked his superior. Never once before had he taken days off ever since the day he joined the police division. " You've never taken days off in the past, so why now?"Nathaniel didn't answer the question and then the superior asked another question that would certainly get him an answer. " These days off you're asking for, are they due to a girl?"Although he didn't answer the question this time around as well, he slightly blushed at the mention of a girl and the superior quickly caught on to the situation.

What are you doing bringing so many things with you?" Nathaniel asked the latter as she was dragging suitcases with her. In retortion to his question, Tina said in response, " We'll be on the run for a while, so we might as well bring along all that we can for safekeeping."Looking toward Nathaniel, she said," I suggest you do the same."Nathaniel stared at her for a while without a word.

    Back a few hours earlier, Johnson was at the hospital when his phone suddenly started ringing. Looking at the screen, his face brimmed with joy when he saw his love's name flash through the screen.As he was attempting to attend the call, he heard Tina's sarcastic voice on the other side stating, " You've always been curious about this jade necklace's origin, didn't you?"…" If you must know Alexandrine Claire, the one who saved Johnson back then, years ago was none other than yourself."Johnson was stunned by the revelation. " What is this woman talking about?" " How could Alexandrine be the girl from back then?" Johnson subconsciously thought as the narration continued." When you fell down the cliff, I claimed your necklace as mine." She huffed before adding sarcastically, " While you begged for Johnson's love, I didn't have to do anything to gain his love."As Tina continued narrating that tragic day, Johnson's head started to seriously hurt. The hurt brought back memories that w

    " So this is what happened?"Still, in the abyss of her long-lost memories, Alexandrine subconsciously thought as she was unconscious, " So that means, I was the girl who saved Johnson long ago! I remembered everything as clear as day."" Due to me falling down the cliff, our history was changed and Johnson undoubtedly believed Tina was the girl who saved him."" She took advantage of my absence to take a place that wasn't hers in Johnson's heart. The reason why Johnson never looked my way was simply because he was keeping his promise to me."Recalling Johnson's promise once more, she subconsciously thought, " Although he forgot all about me, he didn't forget his oath. It's just that he got the wrong girl all along. Now that I've recalled my forgotten memories, I need to make sure Johnson knows the one who saved him that day was me all along and not Tina as he was led to believe all those years ago.Gathering her strength and energy, Alexandrine managed to break free from her unconsci

    " Why do you look so shocked upon learning the truth about that necklace?" Tina glaringly revealed to her nemesis that she was the little girl who had saved Johnson Santos all those years ago and not her as she presumably led him to believe all those years ago.During the silence, Alexandrine subconsciously wondered, “ What is Tina talking about?” “ The one who saved Johnson years ago was me! How is that possible?”The next thing Alexandrine knew, Tina was joyfully clapping her hands and when she was done clapping, she said, “ I must thank you, Alexandrine Claire.”…“ If not thanks to your necklace, how would I have been able to foul Johnson for so long?” She smirked joyfully before adding, “ Had you not left your necklace out that day, I wouldn’t have been able to take your place in Johnson’s heart, so thank you so much, Alexandrine Claire.” She laughed hysterically at the end of her sentence.Alexandrine was too stunned by Tina’s craziness to ask any questions whatsoever.

    " What would you want me to do for you to prove my fidelity to you?" She asked and pondering on the matter some more, he uttered unconvinced, " No, this might not be a good idea, go away!"Tina hung on to his hand and said in retortion, " If you don't tell me the task you have for me, how will you know for sure that I'll fail without even giving me a chance to prove myself?"Pondering on her words for a while, Nathaniel uttered convinced, " Alright, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself but if you don't meet my expectations,-------------" Before he could conclude his statement properly, Tina cut him short and stated confidently, " I'll meet your expectations, you can be sure of that."" You won't find a better partner in crime than me. Besides, I'm used to getting everything I desire for myself and that's not about to change anytime soon."

    “ Who would want to team up with you?” Alexandrine glared at her former friend and supporter with extreme coldness. “ What? Why are you looking at me like that?”“ Did you seriously think I’d allow you to use ema as a peon once more?” Nathaniel didn’t dare answer. Alexandrine wasn’t done telling him his four truths. “ You mentioned just now that whatever was happening was due to me standing by Johnson’s side, correct?”“ If that wasn’t truly my fault, then answer me this, would you?” Nathaniel flinched at the sound of that. “ Was it also my fault to befriend you and offer you my unconditional trust?” Once more, he was stuck and couldn’t answer her questions.“ Why won’t you answer me, Nathaniel?” She shouted as she added, “ Why won’t you admit once and for all that meeting you and letting you evade my life as you did was nothing but a mistake?”“ After all, had I not met you, I wouldn’t be in this situation and would certainly not have been used as a vulgar peon with no consideration

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
