" What are you doing here, Tina?" Johnson, atoms, last noticed his fiance's presence in the room. His eyes grew wary and he looked at Alexandrine suspiciously." Why is he looking at me like that? Is he suspecting something?" Alexandrine subconsciously wondered before getting out of bed and going to the washroom to put on her clothes, leaving Tina and Johnson alone in the room.Passing by Tina, she smirked at her before entering the washroom and closing the door behind her. Before putting on back her clothes, she leaned in to enjoy the show as she enthusiastically listened to their bantering.It didn't take long for Tina to lose her composure and shout at Johnson, the man she loves. " How could you do this? How could you betray me like this after I've warned you of her intentions?" She asked for an explanation from him, her eyes filled with tears.Blinded by the love he thought Alexandrine still had for him, he responded and said, " You're delusional, Tina. Alexandrine loves me and th
The one calling Alexandrine was none other than her parents. " It's my parents calling," Alexandrine muttered to Nathaniel right next to her.To give her some privacy, Nathaniel headed to the kitchen to tend to the dishes while Alexandrine attended the call." Hello, Mom!" Upon hearing her daughter's voice on the other side of the phone, she thought something was amiss but regardless stated the reason for her call. " Could you come home for dinner today, Alexa?"Alexandrine's parents haven't seen their daughter for a long time and they were worried for her, especially her composure after she had gone through such a traumatizing experience all by herself. They felt helpless as they weren't by their daughter’s side when she needed it most.Still, on the phone, Alexandrine gives her mother a response to her request about dinner, " It'll be my pleasure to join you guys for dinner tonight." She sounded a bit more enthusiastic than usual to see her parents after the tragedy she went through
Hours later, when Alexandrine awoke, it was four in the afternoon and she checked her phone for messages.Feeling the lower pain in her lower body, she walked out of the room. In the dining room, she was warmly greeted by servants." Good afternoon, madame! It's so good to see you again in this house. We've missed you a whole bunch." The servants considered Alexandrine as the lady of the house and all of them showed them immense respect due to that title she held." I missed you too." This situation was too awkward for Alexandrine as she tried to get through it the best she could. The reason that brought her back to the house wasn't to play busybody with anybody but to accomplish her purpose which was way far more important than anything else.She was still smiling awkwardly when the servants asked her, " What would you like to have served to you, my lady?" The servant was smiling at Alexandrine as she inquired the question from her. You could spot in the girl's eyes the respect and a
Nathaniel, who was at work at the time, received Alexandrine's message. " She's been admitted to the hospital?"" Thus must have something to do with Johnson and Tina. I need to go there right now and see how she's faring." Nathaniel left all the work he had left to do and rushed to the hospital as he was deeply worried about Alexandrine being suddenly admitted to the hospital.Moments later, at the hospital, the doctor bandaged Alexandrine's forehead and said, " She should be alright if she gets some ample rest."" Thank you, doctor, it'll be done." Johnson thanked the doctor before he got out of the ward and left the two of them alone.When the doctor was no longer in sight, Johnson held onto Alexandrine, his expression filled with anxiety. " What's the matter, Johnson? Why do you have that expression on your face?" She asked and his response was, " I was so anxious when I saw laying on the ground, moaning in pain."Alexandrine kept silent and Johnson continued, " I could never have
“ I hope this answers your question.” He stopped and added, “ You’re not allowed to go near other men; I forbid you from doing that.”Alexandrine was delighted to see her plan was working step by step. Day after day, Johnson was getting more and more entangled with her. The more his dependence on her grew, the more Alexandrine’s job became easier to accomplish.Johnson kept visiting Alexandrine in the hospital every single day until one day, he had some kind of news to announce to her.“ Alexandrine, I have something to tell you,” Johnson uttered in a stern tone and that worried Alexandrine a bit. The tone he was harboring was different from his usual self. Worried, she asked, “ What is it that you want to tell me, Johnson?”Johnson held her hands tightly and that worried her even more. Looking at her, he muttered, “ I won’t be coming to visit you in the hospital for a few days.” After uttering that sentence, he stopped to see whether Alexandrine would make some kind of reaction.Her
“ That vicious woman, she must be planning on using that strange substance on me. She’s so ruthless but I won’t let her succeed at any cost.” Returning to the taxi, the car drove away from there, and in no time Alexandrine was back in her apartment.Refreshing herself, she still had a hard time believing what she had witnessed between Tina and that man dressed in black. Why would Tina want to inject her with that thing? What would she gain by doing so? Those were Alexandrine’s unanswered questions that kept bugging her mind nonstop.“ Johnson and Tina? Meeting them was my greatest misfortune in life, but once this revenge is completed, will I finally gain some peace and quiet?” As soon as she wondered, as if to notify her it wouldn’t happen, her phone started ringing right next to her.“ Who’s the one bothering me when I’m trying to have some alone time to myself?” Alexandrine picked up her phone and as she looked at the screen to see the one who was calling her, Johnson’s name was th
The following morning, as Alexandrine woke up, she didn’t find Johnson right next to her and thought, “ He must have left already, it seems.”She smelled something sweet coming from the kitchen and walked out of the room to go check it out. “ Who’s the one cooking in the kitchen and why does it smell so good?”As she reached the kitchen, she saw a blur of Johnson being the one cooking in the kitchen. “ What am I imagining right now? Johnson is no longer here, so why am I suddenly thinking about him?”“ Alexandrine, I can see that you’ve finally awoken. How was your sleep? Did you have a pleasant sleep?” Hearing the voice she knew so well, Alexandrine came out of her daze and looked in front of her and saw Johnson at last without any sort of hallucination blurring her mind.“ Johnson, it’s you. I thought you had already left.” She muttered and Johnson left what he was doing and came close to her and asked, “ Why? Are you disappointed that it’s me here and not another man, like that Nat
Alexandrine spotted Johnson’s reaction from afar and accepted the stranger’s offer. “ Why not? I don’t mind going with you wherever you want.” The man was happy by Alexandrine’s response and said perversely, “ I can’t wait to have you in my arms tonight. Let’s go, beautiful!”The man put his arms around Alexandrine’s shoulders and led her out of the bar. Johnson strode over angrily before they could go anywhere together. “ What the hell are you doing, Alexandrine? Who’s that man and why are you with him?” Johnson shouted in frustration to Alexandrine who smirked.The man interrupted Johnson and assertively told him, “ Hey, man, don’t ruin my fun—-------- She’s mine tonight.”Hearing the perverted thoughts the man had toward Alexandrine, Johnson angrily swung his fist at him and knocked him out with one punch. Alexandrine watched the spectacle in amusement.“ Alexandrine, we’re leaving.” Johnson pulled Alexandrine away, leaving the bar. As they got inside his car, Johnson pressed again
