Alex stopped in his tracks when he was in the living room of his Penthouse... he walked to the glass walls and stood there staring at the night sky... his eyes were filled with sadness and worry... the sadness juliet had seen a glint of and which he hid from everyone... his heart felt heavy, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen... it didn't help that he kept remembering the time when he was little... The time when he had seen her in that room, laying there in her own pool of blood... he closed his eyes and gave his head a little shake, trying to shake off and push to the back of the mind the imagine that had disturbed him for over twenty years... He slowly started to feel that raw pain in his chest... a pain that made it hard for him to breathe... Alex turned and started to walk towards the couch... he sat by the floor close to the couch and closed his eyes, trying his best to steady his breath like his psychiatrist had told him to do... stea
Juliet's eyes slowly fluttered open, shs groaned and turned and closed her eyes again... it took her brain a few seconds to fully register that she wasn't in her room and then the memory of the everything came back to her... Her eyes flew open and she said "Alex!" he became fully awake when she realised she was in the room of Alex apartment and not in the living room like she had last remembered and not with Alex... she immediately got up from the bed and rushed to the door but as soon as she opened the door she saw Alex standing in front of her door... He was about to knock in her door... A bright smile appeared on his face "Good morning" He greeted and Juliet's eyes started to scan him... he looked well thankfully in contrast to the previous night... "How was your night" He asked... "it was okay... how did I..." She trailed off and Alex knew she was asking about how she got to the room... "I brought you here" Alex answer... he had woken up in the middle of the night, his he
"Have a great day," Juliet said to Alex when it was time for him to leave for work... Alex leaned closer and planted a brief kiss on her lips that left a pleased smile on her face... He didn't want to go to work and had almost stayed behind, but Juliet had completely been against it, stating that if he wanted their agreement to he valid, then he couldn't skip work... Alex had reluctantly agreed, and now that it was time for him to go, he didn't want to... He turned to leave and sighed deeply... "You are running late, Alex," Juliet said to him when he turned to look at her... "No one can complain if I'm late," Alex replied, and juliet playfully glared at him... She opened her arms for him, and he gave her a warm hug and planted a kiss on her temple... "Do you remember what I told you?" He said to her after breaking the hug... Alex took her hand in his "Yes, I remember Alex, this is the third time you are asking me... if I need anything, I just need to call Marc, and he will get i
"Why does he have to make things so awkward my confessing" Gina muttered and bit her lips as she she stood in front of Charles bar... Over a week has passed and every single time off she could think about was him. she turned away and had the feeling of dejavu... Everything with him had being hectic since the first day they met. "He is such a strange person" She muttered... "I wonder who this stranger person is" a voice broke through Gina's reverie causing Gina to almost yelp... "Charles" She said his name and swallowed... "I was told that someone was standing outside for a long time and I knew immediately who it was. Are you going to keep standing here or are you going to come in... you shouldn't have come here if you were going to keep avoiding me" Charles said to Gina and sighed deeply... He walked away into the bar and Gina hesitated a bit before following after him... she kept following in to they got to his private room in the bar... it was then that Charlie finally turned t
"What is it that you want to tell me... you can tell me..." Charles said when he was done talking... Gina opened her mouth to talk, but no words came out... How was she going to tell him about her troubled situation and how she might get engaged to someone else... "Are you perhaps in a relationship with someone?" Charles asked when a few seconds had gone by, and she didn't say anything... He then remembered that he never asked her if she was single and just automatically assumed she was... He wanted her to say no... "No, I'm not," Gina answered. She wasn't exactly in a relationship with anyone... she was just crossed between doing what her father wanted, which was getting engaged... "It's nothing serious, never mind." She decided not to say anything... even though she felt anxious and a bit guilty... All she had to do was cancel the date with Caroline's son, then maybe she would feel less guilty... then what about her father who thought she was with Alex... that was another case.
"Good morning." Gina greeted her employees as soon as she walked into her boutique, taking all of them by surpise... She had a smile on her face as she walked past them... she was in a good mood, and it was definitely a really rare sight for them... "Did something good happen to her... I can't remember the last time she looked so happy," one of her employees muttered to the other... "Get back to work," Clara said to them, and they immediately scrurried away... Gina hummed a song as she sat down in her office, a lingering smile still on her face... the way Charles held her in his arms kept replaying in her mind, and she couldn't stop smiling... that giddy feeling was still there even though she wasn't with him... and it was wonderful, just wonderful... She never knew someone could feel such type of happiness and it was an happiness she wanted to last, but at the back of her mind Gina was sad and scared that her new found happiness wasn't going to last long.... The smile on he
Alex took Juliet's hand in his when they arrived at her house... and he squeezed it a little in support as they walked to her front door... "We could come back another time if you want," Alex suggested, but she shook her head... she needed to take a few things from her house also and didn't want to keep procrastinating... she also wanted to see the state of her house was left in... "No, I need to take a few things too," She answered, and Alex nodded... Juliet saw that her front door lock at being changed to a smart lock, and her windows were in the process of being replaced... Alex opened the door for the both of them, and Juliet was expecting to see a scattered house like she had seen in the pictures Alex had showed but it was the exact opposite... Her house had been arranged neatly and everything was in order... she turned to look at Alex and smiled at him because she knew it was doing... "I should check the bedroom," She said, and Alex nodded. He let go of her hand and walked away
After looking around her house a little more, Juliet realised that nothing seemed to be missing. She kept the letter in her jacket pocket and didn't read anymore from it... she decided to wait till they got back to the apartment. Alex held her hand in support, and Juliet felt her eyes water up again, but she blinked back her tears and turned to look out the window... she was sad it took her so long to find her mother's letter... but it also warmed her heart to know that she left her such a letter. When they arrived, Alex gave her a warm hug before giving her some space he knew she needed... Juliet sat on her bed for a few minutes before she finally opened the letter... juliet read through the letter silently she didn't cry or say a single word till she was done... she closed the letter when she was done and placed it back in its envelope neatly... it took her a while before the contents of the letter finally sunk in... She stood up and started to pace around her room... how could
