The vast, exquisite estate served as the perfect setting for the lavish wedding of Alex and Amelia. The event was held in a verdant yard with beautiful white and blush flower arrangements.Nathan and his spouse, who traveled from a distance, were among the loved ones, friends, and employees present.A string quartet's gentle strains accompanied Amelia as she walked down a rose-petal-filled aisle in a stunning couture gown with elaborate lace embellishments.Alex waited at the altar with love and anticipation in his eyes as he looked stunning in a fitted tuxedo.The reception was held in a large ballroom with tables adorned with exquisite china and glittering cutlery and lit by crystal chandeliers that created a pleasant glow.Following a five-course gourmet dinner, guests danced in a gorgeously lighted patio under the stars.The coordinator, whose job had been taken because he had refused to comply with Elsa's requests, contacted Alex at the ceremony's conclusion and gave him some sur
“Waiter!” Amelia screamed in frustration, with her hand raised above her head, calling the attention of the waiter.“Yes ma’am, how may I help you?” the waiter responded politely“Please, I will need some more wine. Something stronger than what was given to me earlier” Amelia instructed, with her voice shaky and slightly above a whisper.The waiter nodded in response to the order that was placed. He seemed concerned, realizing she already looked tipsy from her slightly slurred speech.Amelia had just seen her father take his life a few hours ago, the thoughts and proceedings crippled her emotions. The weight of despair rested heavily on her. She searched everywhere for a spark of life but couldn’t find any.After she had drunk enough, she raised her hand once again, to signal the waiter for payment this time. Her card got slotted in and was declined. Apparently, she was out of funds. Not only did she just lose her dad, all of her family’s inheritance had been seized based on some alle
“Is that Alex Tate?”“Yes, that’s him. He is the CEO of the Tate Industries”“Damn! He’s so fucking hot!”“All I want to do is spend the rest of my life with him!”The ladies present at the bar whispered among themselves together with their body languages longing for himAmelia’s eyes widened in shock, she turned and asked the lady who stood next to her, “Please, who is that man?”“You mean you don’t know him?”“That’s one of the hottest man in the city!” Flora chuckled“His name is Alex Tate, the CEO of the Tate Industries. He also owns 55% of this bar’s shares” Flora said. “So, he is more like our boss too” she laughed while hitting Amelia’s shoulders slightly in a jokingly manner.Flora asked, “You seem uncomfortable with that news, is everything okay?”Flora was instructed by the manager to show Amelia around, just so she can get acquainted with the working environment and prepare to take orders. She seemed a bit comfortable being around Amelia.“No, there is nothing wrong. I am f
“Greetings to you Mr. Tate, to what do I owe this pleasure?” Mr. Lawrence responded“Please, I need you to look into a profile for me, her name is Amelia Walmart and I want to know everything about her.” Alex said, with an assurance of hope.“Okay sir, I will” Mr. Lawrence responded“I trust you to carry out this findings perfectly.” Alex responded and thereafter, hanging up the call.After the call, Alex had to drive quickly. He had scheduled a meeting with his board members to prepare for a project at hand. This was one of the biggest opportunities he had to expand Tate Industries to a greater level of growth.Upon arrival, he hurriedly walked towards his secretary and asked “Is everybody ready?”“Yes sir, they are.” Lucy, the secretary responded. Also sir, you do have a visitor awaiting your arrival at the office”“Who could that be?” Alex asked, his mind racing in curiosity“I wouldn’t know sir” Lucy responded.“Alright, kindly grab a coffee for the entire team and have it deliver
Her mind swirled like a tempest, mixed in a dilemma. She longed for clarity, for some glimpse of understanding in the midst of the confusion that enveloped her“I am Cora, Alex’s Fiancée, so it’s best you stay away from my man. We are engaged to be married soon.” She warned, her voice filled with pride, as she elegantly displayed a magnificent diamond ring on her finger.“Why are you telling me this?” Amelia asked, her tone portraying a hint of suspicion. She snorted softly, crossing her arms and placing her hands on top of each other, her posture exuding confidence, meeting Cora’s gaze with a bold stare“I have absolutely nothing to do with Alex. So, you can be rest assured you have nothing to worry about.” Amelia asserted, a touch of defiance in her voice. “What could he possibly gain from associating with someone like me?” her voice softened, with a touch of sadness in her eyes as she let her hands fall to her sides.“Yeah, you are right’” Cora replied, her tone filled with mockery
“Hello, Mr. Lawrence. Thank you for reaching back to me.” Alex said, in anticipation of hearing good news. A warmth spread through his chest, letting out a smile that ran through the corners of his lips.“Good day Mr. Tate”, the lawyer responded, “I have been able to gather some vital information for you about Amelia Walmart, but first, I will need to speak with her and ask a few questions for confirmation.“Okay Mr. Lawrence. That wouldn’t be a problem” Alex said. “Kindly choose a day favorable for you and I will make that happen”, he added“Okay sir, I will let you know. Bye for now.” Mr. Lawrence responded and thereafter, interrupted the call.“Is everything okay?” the manager asked“Yes sure, everything is fine,” Alex responded. With a soft smile on his face, he asked, “When will I be signing the documents in order to make the purchase of the bar official please?”“I will reach back to you on this” the manager answered“Okay, just in case I get busy with work, you can leave a mess
Following the call, Alex turned to the stranger and said, “I never want to see you again or anywhere close to Amelia.”“Sure, you won’t.” the stranger responded“As for Cora, do you know where I can find her?” Alex asked“I’m afraid I can’t disclose that to you” the stranger answered“Okay then, you can see yourself out of the hospital.” Alex saidIn a fit of anger, Alex strode towards the door, each step deliberate and filled with anger. Reaching the door, he hesitated for a moment, his hand hovering over the handle as he struggled to contain his rage. But then, with a sudden burst of fury, he swung the door open with such force that it banged loudly against the wall.After storming out of the room, Alex made his way to the reception floor, where Flora awaited him. Without a word, they walked out of the hospital together.After dropping Flora off, Alex headed straight to his office, where his stepfather had been waiting for him. 5PMAs Alex arrived at his office, he pushed the door
Alex noticed the change in Amelia’s expression. Her eyes once bright with laughter, now seemed distant with a shadow of concern and a state of dilemma. “Is everything okay?” Alex asked, reaching across the table to gently touch her hand.“Yes, I am fine. I thought I saw someone I knew,” Amelia responded ”Oh! Okay, that’s fine.” Alex said with a soft smile as he continued to admire Amelia.With soft music playing in the background, Amelia listened carefully as Alex discussed the pressing concerns they had gathered to address. His passion and dedication towards her affairs were evident in every word he spoke, and Amelia found herself admiring his gesture. She further consented to seeing the person Alex requested for her to meet.As they conversed, minutes turned into hours, but neither of them noticed as they were engrossed in their discussion. Despite the seriousness of their conversation, they shared moments of laughter which made their time together worthwhile.As the evening drew t
