Alexis's POV

“ What happened?” Nortia wanted to know when I stepped out, the house forgotten behind us.

I didn't want to bring up the talk that they had given Samantha to me, for a start, it was mainly because I didn't know how she was going to feel about it and it would be best if I didn't.

Also, it was going to prolong talks and when they did, it would be best if I really stayed out of it, I didn't want to hurt her feelings.

“ It's nothing,” I explained, taking my position behind the wheel, while still fuming in rage at what I had just heard.

I guessed I should be expecting it but I thought they would have some sort of respect for Maxwell as he was in the same space with them and being in the same space as them meant a lot.

“Alexis” she called out suddenly, startling me. “ You are driving, if something is wrong then you should talk to me about it, I deserve to know since I brought you here in the first place”

I shook my head at her, worried that I had made her feel tense in a

    Nortia's POV I had my hands wrapped firmly around the blue boxed wristwatch I had just gotten from a high end designer shop. A smile cascaded my face while I pictured the look on his face, he was going to love it. Maxwell had mentioned he wanted this once and I had decided to get it for him, although it had taken more effort than required, numerous hours at work, it was worth it. My feet traipsed up the steps as I headed to the room we both shared, a bottle of wine in one hand while the box was firmly grasped to the other. I hummed a song while contemplating on the perfect song to play. It was going to be our first night together, and I couldn't stop the thud of my heart. My eyes strayed to my finger while I chugged in a chuckle, who knows,I might be getting a ring, it was a milestone anyways,five years of being together. My feet came to a screeching stop, a hand around the door knob while I shook my head trying to push away the thoughts that swarmed my head. “ It isn't him, st

    Nortia's POVI flipped my eyes open, staring blankly at the ceiling as I tried to get a recollection of where exactly I was. Squeezing my eyes shut, I let out a grunt when everything rushed back in, Maxwell, Samantha, and the bar. I had gotten drunk when I wasn't supposed to. I exhaled deeply, pushing myself up when a shrilling sound echoed through, punching all of my thoughts into bubbles. Stretching a hand for my phone, a frown cascaded my face when I saw who it was. The thought of Samantha rushed back in. It was my uncle, her father. After my parents had gotten into an accident, they had taken me in, as that was the only way they could get the company my parents left behind, something about a term attached to the will that had been left behind. So while they treated me like a pearl to the public, I was mainly an extra mouth to be fed which barely even saw enough food to eat, and was made to sleep in the basement while they were even better rooms than I could count.

    Nortia's POV “ You don't know how happy I am to see you here, Nortia” she uttered when we were alone, while flashing a smile at me. I rolled my eyes at her, at how effortlessly she was acting, and how pretentious she was. “ Get off this, aunty, we are all alone so there is no need for this pretense anymore” I tried to push past her when she said. “You know Samantha is engaged now, so it is only right that you do the same and I think I should make a choice since I have been like a mother to you all these while” A mother? Was she even being right? When exactly did she ever act like one? To me at that? “ Go on a blind date” “ What?” “Go on a blind date, I have the perfect person for you, you are single so it will work out…” “ I wouldn't be single if your daughter didn't take my bf away from me” I answered her when her brows crested at me. “ Your bf? You had a man? Who Maxwell?” She burst out into a peal of laughter,a hand against her chest as she did. I listened as the door cr

    Nortia's POV My nails dug into my palm when he beamed at me. “You always have the habit of running off whenever I want to talk to you, are you going to do so again?” I gulped in my spittle at his words, why exactly was he making it look like we had done anything serious? “ Who is he? Were you cheating on me?!” Maxwell demanded as he glanced at me. “ You can't do this to me, you can't cheat on me, you have to stay by my side, no matter what” I let out a sigh, does he know how stupid he sounded?“How does it feel to be beaten at your game?” He took a step forward, attempting to stroll over when he was held back. “You wouldn't do such” “ Oh, you don't know me as you thought you do, I bet you are not the only one who knows how to, I wish you a happy life with Samantha, one that has you both in tears always” The stranger cackled, his eyes held admiration as he stared at me when I rushed off. “ You can't cheat on me,” Maxwell rushed after me. “ You can't leave me either, no on

    Nortia's POV I swallowed as I peered at the mirror, my reflection glancing back at me. I leaned against the wall, contemplating if I had to do this. Tears snaked down my cheek because I knew there was no way I wouldn't, I had to do it, for my parents. I had to make sure that this goes away. I gave myself a gentle tap on the face as I whispered to myself. “Get yourself right, you have to do this” I cajoled myself, whispering words as I said that. I let out a puff, my eyes glancing around at my closet as I tried to make out the most from it. I settled for a red gown that hung above my knees, a black heels and a black purse to match, since I had decided to do it. There was nothing wrong with dressing this way, right?I didn't want to give off more than I could take in. My hands circled the lip butter I had in-between my fingertips while I contemplated on if I was going to put it on, on second thought, I slipped it back into my purse, took a long stare at myself before striding o

I fumbled, when I finally got his hands off before forcing myself up as I stumbled backwards, his hands grasped my shoulders forcing me up to take a glance at him when I bit hard into his shoulders. A cry of pain tore through his lips, before his palm struck across my face, pain fizzled through me. “ How dare you!” He raged.“ Do you know what you have done? Do you know who I am?” His nerves bulged as he questioned. He drew me closer, tiny dots filled my vision while I tried to stay awake, when he held my chin, staring into my eyes, my eyes brimmed with tears. “ You will do as I say, you will act like the brat your aunt said you have always been and let me…” his words trailed off when my legs kicked his

    Alexis’s POV The gentle thud of the door as it slammed against it hinges startled me up, my hands strayed to the far end of the bed, the cold I felt forced me up while I searched for her. She was nowhere to be found, had I been dumped? I had a hand on my knees as I wondered, all of these were a first for me. I have always had girls throwing themselves at me, countless ones coming closer, numerous ones wanting me to bed me, but none of them had left before I was awake. A small cackle left my lips as I chewed on my lips when my eyes caught it, that red spot that glared at me. “ Dammit” I pounded into my fist, my eyes dimming in to be certain I was seeing right. “ Asshole” I cursed myself. I should have known she was a virgin, she felt tight, and she felt so different, everything about her felt different from what I have known. From the very first moment when she had slammed that dollar bill on my shirt, I had been intrigued. Someone had done the same, but she had offered to warm

    Nortia's POVMy feet raced down the pavement while I tried to beat the traffic jam that lead to the hospital. My heart sledged as I sprinted down while cursing repeatedly on my way there. I tried to search around for what might have caused the gridlock and when I saw nothing, I kept mute. I finally let out a sigh when I got to the hospital, it's vibrant and bold front glaring at me. My hands smoothened my chest as I endeavored to stay calm, it wouldn't help if I lost my mind, so I had to be relaxed. I took the lift that lead to the doctor's office, flinging it open to see him relaxed on his chair. “You came” his hands laced each other as he acknowledged. “And fast as well” I swallowed, gulping in. “Please don't…” I began. I was ready to do whatever it took just to make sure that nothing happens to my parents, for the treatment to continue. “Miss Nortia, you know how the hospital works, we aren't charity, and neither are your parent's charity cases, so it's only right that we

    Alexis's POVNortia was taking longer than I had expected she would take, I was tempted to walk out and search for her especially with Maxwell out of here and I didn't know what he would be doing right now. He might be with her but I didn't want to believe he would hurt her, I trusted Nortia but it was him who I didn't trust. I didn't know what he was capable of doing and I really wanted to believe that he would heed my warning, the first one I had given him. “ You know both of our companies work perfectly together, before the ruckus of course, which was all my fault and I am sorry for that” her uncle said. I nodded at what he had just said, listening but barely even as all of my focus was on the tiny curve which Nortia had walked through a minute ago. “It's fine. You have apologized countless times already and I hold nothing against you” He beamed, making gestures at the maids who walked in with a bucket of ice and a wine dipped in the midst of it. “ I hope you will take this a

    Nortia's POV The words I had just heard reverberated in my ear, I had placed a palm against the door wanting to confront my aunt because that had been her voice I had just heard when someone said.“ She tried, she went to his office and he chased her off, didn't she tell you that? There is no way he would want her, Alexis wouldn't want someone like her” A slap resonated through the air before a voice came up, rage coating every inch. “There is nothing that will be too hard for her to do, we have to do that, her father wants her with him and she doesn't have a choice, he is a better choice than Maxwell and we are getting him, and that's final” My appetite was ruined in an instance, to think that I had put up my hopes too high and had actually thought they wanted me back but this wasn't for me, my uncle had done this for Samantha so she would be with Alexis, but Maxwell was here also, how was that going to be possible?I couldn't get off the thoughts that Alexis hadn't said a word t

    Nortia's POV I peeled off my hands in an instance because that had startled me. He was the last person I had thought would hold my hands. “ Sorry” he apologized, a smile flashed across his face as he did so. “ I didn't mean to make you feel that way, all I wanted to do was help you out, that's all” he explained, making me feel bad. “ It's fine. You don't have to do so. I know you had good intentions and I'm not holding it up against you” I let out a puff, still trying to calm the awkwardness when Alexis wrapped his arms around my waist. “ I will take it from here, thank you for doing what I was supposed to do” a smile curved the edge of his lips as he said that to my uncle who bobbed before stepping aside. “She’s yours” he let out a brief cackle before stepping back in. A sigh left my lips when he did that. “ I guess we might have mistaken his intention” I whispered at Alexis whose eyes were lurking around, like he was trying to fish out something that wasn't supposed to be th

    Alexis's POV “ Breathtaking” I breathed out underneath my nostrils as that was the only thing I could think about at the moment. The emerald green gown clung to her shape, showing every curves that I had never thought she had, curves that might have sprouted so soon that it was difficult to believe it had always been there. “ Really?” Her eyes sparked as she asked, still fumbling with the edges of her gown. I ate the gap between us, making sure she was in my arms before I tugged her closer. “ I am scared” “ Scared?”“ That someone else might see how pretty you are and take you from me”She gave a slight jab at my arms, while her face pinked. “ Are you ready to face your family now?” I was tempted to keep her in and locked in with her but I knew she had other important appointments which I couldn't keep her away from.“ How about we try making our baby now?” A finger ran up the length of her zipper before she smacked my hands, pulling it off. “ We have to go to my uncle and i

    Nortia's POV A war? That was an exaggerated thing to say because I couldn't take that as a war, it was simply me going to the home which my parents had built for me but it had ended up being my uncle's. I let out a sigh, before whispering back. “ I will be back soon, I'm taking a shower”“ Should I join you? I am sure it will be much more better if I do”I clasped a hand over my lips at how sacrilegious that had sounded. “ I will be back,” I answered firmly. “ You stay right outside and wait for me, or you can go and work,I love money you know” the words were out before I could keep them back in. I chewed on my nails, wondering how exactly he had taken that, would he take me to be a golddigger? Not wanting to stay back and hear whatever he would say, I took steps away, hands on the door knob when his voice came through. “ Luckily for me, it isn't a problem, I have a whole lot of them and you can spend as much as you like”I muffled in a cackle at what he had just said before ste

    Nortia's POV He left me deep in thought as he walked up the stairs, with shoulders slouched as he did. I wondered what he had meant by that, but shoving it off my shoulders, I decided not to worry myself about that. I was going to take it as one of those words that he must have said because he had been thinking of countless things, which didn't have anything to do with me. “ By the way” he said as he turned to take a look at me. “ There is a bedside fridge in your room, but I guess it should be empty, I will have the housekeeper stock it up tomorrow” he gave a subtle nod before strolling off. Picking the items back into the first aid kit, I placed them in carefully, making sure that it wouldn't lead to any one of them shattering. With hands holding the cotton wool soaked with blood, I pondered on how tomorrow will go but on a second thought, I decided against it, it would be better if I let tomorrow worry about itself. *************An ache tore through me so persistently and n

    Nortia's POV Falling asleep was taking more than I had expected, I didn't know why but I will be attributing that to the fact that I was in a new environment and so, I had to get used to it. I tossed again, before laying upright, looking at the ceiling, the net towered over me. I had been glad when he had said that, not minding the fact that he must have looked into things he wasn't supposed to, but a side of me wondered if it wasn't too early, and if I really deserved anything I was getting right now. A stroll down to the walk-in closet had shown me a different tale than what I was expecting, it was hard sort of to believe that they were for me. They fitted just right, in every single way like I had imagined, the slam of my heart told me I wasn't overthinking, that indeed they were mine and I was supposed to be glad about it, but I just couldn't help it What if I got used to leisure such as this and when we finally part well, I find it hard to cope?

    Alexis's POV “ You don't have to do this, you can't do this to me. You know who I am, you know who my family are and they aren't going to like this” A scoff left my lips at what he had just said before pushing him until he had his back against the wall, fidgeting against the chair. “ And you think that I will be scared? What exactly do you think will happen after what you did to Nortia, that I will pat you on the back for a job well done?” I was trying to keep my anger from escalating because all I wanted to do was strangle his neck until he was unable to take in air. I sniffed in, waiting for him to give an answer when the scent permeated the air. “ You peed on yourself? Are you even a man?” I held out a hand, accepting the taser which I had been given as I stroked across to him. “ It was wrong of me to do so, I shouldn't have done that in the first place, please don't ... .help me apologize to her, let her know that I'm sorry, it is the last time and it wouldn't happen anymo
