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
“ Would you be so kind as to take me home?” Alexandrine suggestively asked him with a suave voice. Johnson started off the car engine and drove her to her destination.Right after getting out of the car, she playfully told Johnson, “ I can’t wait to start living together with you; I love you so much, Johnson.”She waved goodbye to him as she unlocked her door and walked right into it. Johnson left after making sure she was safe.Alexandrine thought about the tumultuous day she had with Johnson. Nathaniel came over for a few minutes before Alexandrine headed to bed as he wanted to know the details of how things went with Johnson.“ He fell into the trap and finally accepted me as his mistress. He went as far as giving me a villa plus a million dollars every month.” Alexandrine was happy to reach her second aim in her revenge.Nathaniel was happy for her but he couldn’t help but worry regardless. “ What now? When will you be moving in?”“ I’ll be moving in tomorrow and while I’m there,
“ Why is he behaving like a good guy all of a sudden telling me he won’t hate me for whatever plan I’m putting on against him or whatever?” Alexandrine was confused as to why her ex-husband was behaving so differently from usual and was reminding her of the past, a past she wished to forget.“ I know you’re angry due to what Tina did to you and everything in between. You have every right to want to make us pay for how cruel we’ve been to you but please, I’d like to bear the full responsibility for it if you’ll allow me.” Alexandrine didn’t know at that moment whether she was pissed at her ex-husband for loving his fiance more than himself or if she pitied him for being so blindly in love that he was unable to differentiate right from wrong.“ Please, forgive Tina as it wasn’t her intention to harm you. It was an accident and Tina is very sorry for it.” When she heard that, it took a lot out of Alexandrine to refrain from lashing at Johnson. She was gripping her fists to get her anger
