LEXI

Stepping out of the airport, we luckily found an empty cab and hopped into it after tucking our luggage into the trunk. The drive began, and a deafening silence fell in the car. It felt peaceful and surreal. I loved every bit of the atmosphere.

"Isabelle, I hope you didn't do anything when I left you at the reception." I asked, breaking the silence. I didn't know why I felt like Isabelle shouldn't be trusted. Maybe because she was too quiet and behaved when I returned from the bathroom. That wasn't who Isabelle was.

She lifted her head, glanced at my face, and gave me a knowing look. "What do you mean, Mum? Do you think I have committed a crime?" She questioned.

I swallowed hard, piercing into her gaze. As I had suspected, the glimmers in her eyes were filled with eagerness, which meant she was hiding something from me.

"What is it, Isabelle? Say the truth right now. You know very well that I didn't train you to be a liar." I held her hands, looking into her eyes as I muttered

  • Chasing Love After Divorce   Finding Lexi

    RYANI searched the crooks and crannies of the airport for Lexi and Isabelle but never found them. It was as though they appeared for a second and vanished into the thin air afterward."Maybe they had gone this way," I told myself, hopping into my car."Drive!" I ordered, and my chauffeur started driving. However, I never caught a glimpse of her. My heart twitched. It was as if thousands of hands were squeezing it. "Where are you, Lexi? Where did you go?" I mumbled, sweats shrouding my body like a cloak. My breathing was unstable.After an hour of driving aimlessly on the streets of England, I commanded, "Pull over!" My chauffeur glanced behind me briefly, "Huh?""Can't you hear me, or are you just dumb? I just asked you to pull over. Stop the car, you fool," I yelled, exasperated. And immediately, he swerved his hands to the side and stepped on the brake. The car made a screeching sound before it stopped.I jumped out of the car and scrutinized the vicinity with my eyes. Hopefully,

    LEXI"Father!" I shouted, running toward my family, who was already seated on the bed. His pale face had become fresh and alive, and his whitish lips had become plum and succulent. When he gaped in my direction and saw me, his perfectly molded lips curved into a sheepish smile."My daughter is here!" He muttered before his gaze darted over Isabelle, and his smile widened. "Oh my God! My princess is here!" He exclaimed, reverting his gaze from me as he focused on Isabelle. He totally forgot that he was about to greet me, and that almost made me jealous of Isabelle. But I was the one he knew before knowing Isabelle. I am his daughter."How are you doing, grandpa? You were sleeping when we got here yesterday," Isabelle asked in her tiny yet sharp voice.My father ruffled her hair and pulled her cheeks gently. "I'm okay now, my damsel. Seeing your beautiful face is enough to heal me," he affirmed, grinning.With pouty lips, I went to sit beside my mother while I watched Isabelle and my fa

    LEXII blinked, uncertain of the suitable expression to make to the surprising revelation and turn of events. The famous Donald Simeon turned out to be the fake taxi driver and the one who sent me a bouquet the previous week. "Lexi, this is Mr. Donald Simeon, the partner who will help you when you become the CEO." My father's voice lingered in the air, causing me to veer around so that I could focus my attention on him."Uhm... Oh! Okay," I mumbled, my eyes flickering continually as my mouth widened. "Hello, Miss Lexi. I'm Donald Simeon, your COO," Donald introduced, stretching forth his hand for a handshake, which I took after a brief hesitation. There was something surprising and suspicious about the attitude he pulled up. There wasn't an iota of surprise on his face, as though he already knew I was the one he was coming to meet. I found it weird, but I shrugged the thoughts away as I shook his hand. "I'm Lexi Alexandra. Please, let's achieve a lot together." I mumbled with a lop

    GENERAL"I welcome you all to the most anticipated unveiling ceremony of the Alexandra's Conglomerate." The host's voice reverberated across the hall. Men and women of class and elite families trooped into the event hall, dressed in their best dresses. The decoration of the hall screamed luxury and exquisite. You don't need to be told before you know that they are worth fortunes.Reporters were seated at a side of the hall, clicking their cameras but not moving to the guests because they had been warned to do whatever they wanted in the corner provided for them unless they wanted to be sued.Ryan and Jasmine sauntered into the hall with their arms locked. Their eyes flickered briefly, astonished by what they were seeing. "Fuck! This isn't a wedding ceremony, but it looks heavenly. Just how wealthy is the Alexandra's?" Jasmine gasped, her eyes broadening with satisfaction and admiration. "I made the right choice to be here today," she whispered. "Maybe I can see great Alexandra himse

    GENERALRyan and Jasmine couldn't believe their eyes and ears, especially when Gerald confirmed that the woman standing in front of them was indeed Lexi, the same woman he divorced and chased out of his house."How the fuck did this even happen? How did Lexi become the daughter of Alexandra? How did she become superior all of a sudden?" Different questions sprouted in Jasmine's head. Her hands trembled rigorously as she grabbed the side of her dress, snapping her teeth. Her face was reddened, and irritation swirled in her stomach. "This got to be a dream. This has to be a dream. This mustn't be Lexi," she said in between gritted teeth.The fact that she looked hotter, sexier, and more beautiful caused thousands of needles to pierce into her heart. She was a lot better than when she was still in Ryan's house, where she was tormented."Are you fine, sir? Do you need some water?" Gerald rushed to the side of Ryan, who had reclined on the chair due to the shock he just witnessed. He took

  • Chasing Love After Divorce   Lick My Legs

    LEXI "LICK IT!" I ordered coldly. My eyes were void of emotions, so it was difficult for anyone to know what was running through my head and mind at the moment. Jasmine's and everyone else's eyes broadened with disbelief. "What!" Ryan and Jasmine spurted out, shocked. I could say that I loved the expressions they made. I felt like a conqueror, and that almost made me erupt in laughter. "You heard what I said. Lick the mess you made to my legs," I commanded, and another gasp filled the room. The other guests had stood up at this moment, and the reporters kept clicking on their cameras nonstop. Glancing around and realizing that we'd garnered a lot of attention, Donald rushed to my side and whispered into my ears, "What are you doing, Miss Lexi? All eyes are on us right now. Can't you just let it go? It was a mistake, and she has apologized." With a slight tilting of my head, I sent him daggers with my eyes, and I saw his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed hard. Ignor

    RYANThose eyes. Those eyes were void of emotions. She lacked empathy for me or Jasmine. It was as if I was seeing another person. I couldn't believe that Lexi could be so heartless. She really let Jasmine lick her legs? Well, that was what she deserved since she let her envy get a better part of her. I trusted Lexi's words. Jasmine intentionally poured the drink on her body. I knew how much she hated Lexi.But why wasn't she giving me an audience? Why was she so cold to me when all I wanted to do was apologize? Is it really over between us? I placed my hands on my waist as I watched her car drive away. How did everything happen? I still find it hard to comprehend."Ryan! Where the fuck are you? Oh... This is where you came to hide while I was being embarrassed by everyone in there." Jasmine shouted, stomping her feet toward me. Her veins were popping out of her skin due to her anger. Seeing her face made me nauseated. It made me remember that she was the one who created a humiliat

  • Chasing Love After Divorce   Lunch With Donald

    LEXI "Good morning, President Lexi." The employees I met on the way greeted me as I brushed past them. It was a new day, and I had to resume for the day whether I wanted to or not. The most annoying part about working is the fact that you wouldn't be able to rest as much as you want. "Oops! I miss the old days," I mumbled as I stepped into the elevator. Before I could click on close, Donald appeared and bowed curtly. "Good morning, Lexi... Uhm! Miss Lexi," he muttered with a smile. "Good morning, Mr. Donald," I responded, smiling back. The scenes from the previous day replayed in my head, and I couldn't help but feel bad with the way I embarrassed him in the presence of the guests. Tugging on the side of my dress, I continued, "You... You don't need to use honorifics when we are together." I earned a surprising glance from him at the statement. His brows raised in a questioning manner. I knew he must be wondering if I was fine. That was all I could do to dissipate the lump o

    GENERALRyan's eyes blinked when his sister, Emily, and Zoe, his mother, walked in. He couldn't believe his eyes. He was forced to shut his eyes and open them back, and they were still there. They didn't change. "Mum!!!" Ryan muttered, stupefied. It was as though he had just seen horror. If he had been told that he would be betrayed by his own family, especially his mother, he would have argued blindly. What pushed his mother to this?Zoe and Emily strolled closer to them and folded their arms. "Surprised?" She muttered, and he gulped. "What are you doing, mother? Why are you here? Why are you with Jasmine? Don't tell me you've joined hands with her..." He mumbled, and his mother shrugged her shoulders, asserting his speech. His mouth opened and he scoffed. "What are you thinking, Mum? What is wrong with you? Why would you do such a thing?" He retracted his gaze from his mother and moved it to his sister, Emily. "And you? Can't you tell her that this is wrong? Did you join an ou

    GENERALRyan drove like a madman to the spot where he was told his wife's car was found. Getting there, he met some cops doing their work. "Mr. Ryan," one of them called the moment he stepped out of his car. "Did you find any clue? Have you checked the dashboard? Isn't there any CCTV in the street?" He hurled questions at the cops, scared. "The card in the dashboard has been removed. We guess the kidnappers took that with them. And for the street CCTV, we've asked the residents here, and they said it isn't working. It was just there as a camouflage," the cop explained, and Ryan hissed. What was happening? Why did bad things keep happening anytime he was happy? Who would dare kidnap his wife and daughter?He ran his fingers through his hair and placed a hand on his waist. He hated that he was helpless. His child and wife had been kidnapped, but he didn't know what to do. How would he save them? Where were they taken to?* "What! My Lexi? Never!" Mrs. Alexandra's eyes widened when

    GENERAL "Please, have your seat," Donald said, pulling the chair out for Cinderella to sit on it.She scrutinized the restaurant they visited with admiration in her eyes. She didn't know where they were going before they left home. Donald just told her to dress nicely. She blushed as she took her seat. He walked to the other side and reclined on his seat. "Welcome, ma'am. Welcome, sir. What would you like to take?" A female waitress walked up to them as soon as they settled.Donald picked the menu and skimmed through it. "Seafood, and a bottle of champagne," he responded, handing his debit card over to the waitress. She took the card, bowed curtly, and left to prepare their order. The seafood he chose was Cinderella's favorite. Soon, the waitress arrived with their orders and arranged them on the table. She returned Donald's debit card. "Enjoy your meal," she said and left.Cinderella's eyes sparkled with hunger as she saw the seafood. The urge to dig in surged within her, b

    GENERAL "Finally! You've come to visit me," Ryan's grandmother said, grinning as she went to welcome Lexi, Ryan, and Isabelle, their daughter. "Oh, my Goddess! Is this my little Isabelle?" Grandmother asked, ruffling the little girl's hair. "Hello, grandmother," Isabelle greeted with a smile. "Hey, granddaughter. You've become so big," Grandmother said with admiration in her eyes, and they laughed.Lexi went close to her. They prodded into each other's gazes and embraced each other. Tears brimmed in Lexi's eyes. There was no way she would count her blessings and not count her grandmother. In fact, she would count her twice. She was the only one who never looked down on her despite her poor status in the past. She took her like a daughter and made sure she never lacked a thing. Seeing her again after five years brought back memories, and tears strolled down her eyes. "Thank you for everything, Grandmother," Lexi said with a croaky voice. A lump clogged her throat.Breaking th

    GENERALLexi and Ryan weren't surprised by their presence. They glanced at them indifferently, waiting to hear why they were there.Zoe swallowed hard. "Hey, son!" She mumbled with a fake smile.With an emotionless expression, Ryan said, "Why are you here, ma'am?"Her eyes widened. She stuttered, "What... What do you mean by that? Why would anyone ask why I am at my son's house?" She darted her stare over Lexi and threw her deadly and hateful glare. Lexi didn't mind the looks from her. In as much as she didn't step her foot into the house. "I thought I told you not to bring your legs here unless you are ready to repent." Why are you here with the devil you birthed?" He snapped at his mother, fixing a cold gaze at her sister, who was hiding behind her mother.Zoe's face changed into horror. She wore a squinty countenance. "What! Did you just call your sister a devil? What has gotten into you? Has this witch messed with your sense of reasoning?" She hurled questions at him, throwing

  • Chasing Love After Divorce   Her Hideout

    GENERALJasmine's step slowed as she neared her hideout. It was evident that she was scared. Perhaps not scared. She wasn't just ready for the drama that would follow once she got to where she was staying. As expected, she saw the man she had been staying with, standing outside and looking fierce.With the way he paced up and down, Jasmine discerned that it wouldn't be a good day for her as usual. He was drunk and exasperated. She was going to get beaten for the umpteenth time. When she escaped the prison some weeks back, she met this grumpy man who offered to help her if she agreed to be his wife. Without thinking, she accepted since she was in dire need of help. And that marked the beginning of her misery. If she was beaten today, she would be sexually abused the following day. Should we talk about the dirty streets and the stinky houses? If she was the previous Jasmine, she would have puked the first time she stepped into his house. "Look who is here. The Almighty Jasmine," The

    GENERALLexi and Ryan walked out of the airport, hand in hand. After spending three days on the private island, their honeymoon ended, and they returned to the country. Outside the airport, Lexi halted, shut her eyes, and inhaled a fresh breath of air. "Hmmm... Smells like home," she muttered with a smile.Ryan chuckled, "I missed Isabelle. I cannot wait to see my baby," he said, earning a side-eye from Lexi. She grumbled, "See who is trying to jerk the title of the best parent from me? You are trying to make me look like I don't care about my child, right?" She asked."Well, to be sincere, I just want to take your place in Isabelle's heart. I want her to call Daddy instead of Mummy," he joked.With twitched lips, she glared at him, "Never! I will never let you win over me," she said and marched forward.A red GLE was parked outside the airport. As soon as the chauffeur saw them, he ran out of the car and opened the door. Lexi entered first, and Ryan followed. Just as the trip was a

  • Chasing Love After Divorce   A Private Island

    GENERALThe sounds of the cutlery and utensils hitting one another disturbed Lexi. She twitched her face, saying some inaudible, incoherent words as she struggled to go back to sleep. However, the noise didn't stop, and that angered her. Defeated, she slowly opened her eyes. When her eyes were fully unlocked, she found her environment strange. She remembered that she slept in her matrimonial bed the previous day, and this place looked nothing like it. Afraid, she sat up and scrutinized the whole place with her eyes. It was an island. And the house she was in was a glass house because she could see everything from her room. For a few seconds, she was thrilled by the beautiful scenery. The appealing smell of a meal wafted into her nose, jerking her out of her thoughts. She has different questions unanswered. Where was this place? How did she get there? What was that appetizing smell? With her brows creased with confusion, she got out of bed and put on the blue fur slippers she met be

    GENERALA weird yet enjoyable sensation spread over Ryan's body in his sleep. With his eyes tightly closed, he moaned. When the pleasure intensified, he was forced to open his eyes and saw Lexi over him, sucking his dick like an expert. He was shocked. "Honey, what are you doing?" He asked in between his moans.Lexi took his dick out of her mouth, stained with her saliva, and said, "Isn't it a perfect way to say good morning?" She asked... Without waiting for his response, she tucked it into her mouth again, thrusting it in and out like an expert.He couldn't say a word. As the pleasure built up in his head, his jaw dropped, and saliva drooled out of his mouth. She continued that way until he poured his seeds into her mouth. "Perfect," she mumbled, smirking wickedly.She got out of bed and sauntered into the bathroom to clean up. Just as she bent over, she felt a hand in her pussy, rubbing it soothingly. She needn't be told before she knew it was her husband. She felt a salacious s
