I arrived at the location and got to Elena's apartment. I pounded on the door several times, but got no response. I entered the door lock code and managed to enter. The room was dark as if it were in the night and had a strong smell of alcohol. I switched on the lights and saw Elena sitting on the carpet with several beer cans around her, most of them looking empty. I approached her and called out, “Elena, what is the meaning of this?” She flinched at the sound of my voice and tried to stand up but fell on the floor drunkenly, and then she crawled to my feet, holding my legs. “Daniel, please believe me; you have to believe me; I did what you told me to do. I really told her there was nothing between us, but she didn't believe it. Look, she even slapped me.” She answered, slurring, but her words were still discernible. “You mean you admitted to her that we are having an affair?” I asked angrily and kicked her, running my hands through my hair. She fell backwards, her hands covering
Alexa's POV I woke up feeling groggy and out of sorts. I felt uncomfortable and tried to turn on my side, but realized I was tied up and gagged. My eyes moved about, and I realized I was still in my room, but both my wrists were bound to the bedpost, and there was a cloth tied between my lips behind my head. Then I remembered what had happened. Daniel did this to me: ‘What did he want to do?’ The thought filled me with dread. I tried to shout, but only muffled sounds came out. “Don't bother shouting; no one would hear you.” I looked up and saw Daniel's cold gaze looking at me from a seat across the bed; his voice sounded dangerous, making a shiver run down my spine. I had not noticed him in my panic. I looked up at the man in front of me and realized how foolish I had been. I didn't even protect myself properly from him; I thought he would not take it so far and let down my guard. After all the years I had spent together with him, I still wanted to believe there were some genuine fe
I took in as much air as my lungs could take and moved away from him until my back hit the headboard of the bed, my cheek hurt, and blood filled my mouth from the corner of my lips. I nearly gave up on my plan, but it was too late to stop now. “You mean you worked hard and manipulated things in your favor to get to your position, and now you are coveting my shares using manipulation because you are not even a decent person, right? You cheat and manipulate things in your favor,” I sneered with forced bravado, my throat hurting from trying to sound strong. Daniel looked like a demon, with his dark gaze fixed on me. “Don't provoke me, Alexa. You don't want to see my ugly side,” Daniel warned. But how could I stop? I was just getting started. “What would you do if I did? Are you going to kill me, beat me to a pulp, or force yourself on me and rape me?” I yelled, my voice hoarse from pain. Daniel scoffed, “Rape? You call something you enjoyed rape? Are you in denial because you enjoyed
I woke up with the pungent smell of disinfectant and medicine invading my nostrils. The room was silent except for my heavy breathing and a beeping sound from the machines in the hospital. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in an attempt to clearly see the blurry image in front of me. I felt something on my head, moved my hands up to feel it, and winced when the needle in my arm pricked me. "Alexa, you are awake,” said the voice of my father, who was standing by my bed now. “How are you feeling?" he added. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” “I'm fine, dad, thank you,” I managed to say, my voice sounding dry and hoarse. My father turned around and brought me a cup of water. "Sorry, dear, have some water. I will tell Carl to bring you some food. You must be hungry,” my father said. He went out and came back soon afterwards and started fussing about how I was feeling, and the doctor was also summoned. I looked at my father fussing over me, and warmth flowed into my heart. I knew my
3rd Person POVIn the underground basement of the Jones family mansion, Daniel was lying on a bed, unconscious, with bandages around his head. Mr. Jones walked through the door, looking at the sleeping man, and turned to his personal doctor. “It's been 3 days; why is he not awake?” he asked, with a hint of impatience. “He should be awake any moment from now, sir; all his vitals are okay, and he's not in danger. I can wake him up if you're in a hurry,” Dr. Martin answered respectfully. He had come to know after being with Mr. Jones for a while, that, even though he may look like a calm, peace loving person, he wasn't one to be trifled with. He prayed a silent prayer for this foolish young man who didn't know what was good for him and hurt Alexa. Everyone working under Mr. Alan knows that even though he doesn't show it, his daughter Alexa is the center of his universe, and from the marks on her fair wrists, her swollen cheeks, cuts on her forehead, and bruises on his boss's beloved d
Five days later, the Cooper family mansion received a huge gift box on their doorstep. Daniel, who couldn't even tell what was real and what was fake, was put into a big box and delivered to the Cooper family mansion with a note from the Jones family head that read, “The Cooper family must change their heir or disappear from Millennium City." Grandfather Cooper looked at his eldest grandson and realized that he had stepped on some big toes. He felt angry at this blatant disregard for the Cooper family name, but realized there was nothing he could do anyway. The Cooper family was not the Jones family's match, and he could only swallow the bitter pill. After their family doctor checked Daniel and pronounced that he was “losing his grip on sanity,” grandfather Cooper made arrangements for Daniel to be sent out of the country for psychiatric treatment, and during the next shareholder meeting, Lawrence was promoted to president of Cooper Industries with the excuse that Daniel traveled a
Alexa bid her father goodbye at the airport, and they shared a heartwarming hug. The announcement echoed through the air, and the chatter of people in different languages filled the atmosphere as travelers rushed to check in. Alexa got in line, waving at her father one last time, and made her way through security to her designated gate. ~~~ On an Italian flight bound for Ivory City, Morgan Wright got down from the famous Wright Airlines, a subsidiary of the Wright Corporation. Wright Airlines is a luxury airline that serves over 150 destinations throughout the world and has large and spacious first class cabins that boast elegance and luxurious decor. The carefully selected attendants gave their passengers world class services, and the many amazing services like celebrity chef signature dishes, designer sleep suits, luxury duvets, and Dior amenities kits given to passengers made it so that customers experienced the highest level of comfortability and luxury. Morgan was feeling an
“Are you okay, miss?” asked Morgan in his smooth and velvety voice. He had noticed all her little actions. Alexa was in a trance, looking at Morgan in a daze, until he waved his hands in front of her. She held the hand swaying in front of her and blocking her view of this adonis in place. Her fingers grazed his calloused fingers, sending tremors through her body. She opened her mouth to speak, feeling embarrassed by her blatant stare and hugging him earlier. “I'm sorry I mistook you for someone. I was..." "Get away from him!” said Peter, who had just returned and witnessed the scene of Alexa holding his boss's hand and roughly pushing her away from him. "Sorry, sir, are you okay?” Peter asked and proceeded to take out wet wipes from his pocket and handed them to Morgan, who also started wiping his hands and threw them into the trash can. Morgan was a clean freak; he liked wiping his hands at regular intervals, making Peter always carry a wet wipe along. “I didn't know something u
