Mr. Gareth rubbed his temples and sighed. “He couldn't even spare his brother when it came to picking a woman. He lets Alexander pick and then wants to snatch her away.”“What are we going to do? Yulia inquired as she tried not to laugh at how funny everything was to her.It was weird that the grandpa had no idea that he had three grandsons. Yulia couldn't wait for Alexander to come as Dante and see how they were going to tolerate each other.It was going to be fun to watch Alexander get hit by his grandpa. A mischievous grin appeared on her face as she pictured it in her head.“You will have to ignore him when he comes.” Mr. Gareth muttered. “You have been engaged to Alexander, haven't you?”Nodding her head, a serious look appeared on her face. “Yes, Alexander proposed, and I accepted.”“You like Alexander, don't you?"She shook her head. “Yes.”“You want to get married to him, right?”“Yes.”“Have you met Dante?”“Yes, he was my crush back at college.”Mr. Gareth's eyes widened in
The reaction Roxie gave made Mr. Gareth's head snap to look at her. He raised a brow at her and glared at her. Roxie's eyes met his, and then her legs felt jelly at the look he was giving her.“Roxie, didn't I make it clear that you are not allowed to talk about that anymore? If I remember, you have already been dismissed.” Mr. Gareth said. “You should go back home now.”“What?” Roxie's eyes widened. “How is that possible? You told me that I was going to get married to Alexander.” She had a fake reaction on her face. “Was that all a lie?”Yulia forced herself not to puke at the fake reaction that was on Roxie's face. She looked disgusted; she hadn't expected Roxie's sister to want to take her place.Was Alexander that attractive?Glancing at Roxie, she could see that Roxie was not scared of Dante. Why was that even possible?Alexander, on the other hand, waited for his grandfather to say something. He had an odd feeling about another Roxie suddenly appearing after the other one was go
Alessandro waited for Yulia until she was walking next to him. She raised her hand to stare at the ring that Alexander had slipped into her hand.It was a golden and diamond ring; it sparkled as she raised it up, and the sunlight shone on it.“It's pretty.” She muttered as she brought it to her lips and kissed it.Alessandro turned his head to look at her. “I thought that you were here to console me."She shook her head and pouted. “I wanted an opportunity to hear from the company. My ex-sister and her mother are still at the company, and I know that they are trying to make me go bankrupt. I already sent Y over previously, but I already fired him. I am not sure that he would go.”A frown appeared on his face. “You want me to go with you so you can deal with them.”“Exactly, you are smart."Alessandro thought about it for a while. “Since you need help with your mother's company, why don't I help you? I can work for you, and we will take care of the company together.”Yulia was taken ab
Just when she thought she had nothing else to do. Yulia glanced at Alessandro to see if he had an idea of how to get away from the situation.From that look in his eyes, she could tell that he was going to solve it with violence, so she looked away from him.“Are you backing away from the bet?” The same lady asked. “You said you were going to chop off your fingers; we don't see you doing it.”Yulia turned her head to glare at the woman. “I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, but you haven't won yet.”The ladies scowled at her, but before they could say any more words, The sound of running footsteps was heard, and everyone's head snapped in the direction to find Elia running towards them.Elia came sprinting towards her and fell on her feet. “Sister! I was wrong; I should have never lied to everyone that I was the legitimate daughter.” Tears trickled down her face as he pleaded. “I was only being childish; I have made your life miserable since we were kids. I was jealous of you because
Her left hand flew to her lips in surprise. “What do you mean the cat is dead? That was the only woman who didn't like you.”“You think so?” Alexander inquired, raising a brow at her. “She let me rub her this morning.”Yulia frowned at him. “I thought that you said that she was dead.”His lips curled upward, forming a mischievous smirk. “Well, she isn't dead.”She swung her left arm, the impact landing squarely on his chest. He giggled as her hand collided with his chest.“How could you lie to me?" She demanded, relief washing through her, that her cat was safe.“I was only joking with you.” He muttered before bending over and scooping her into his arms. “Let's go home. I want you to help me with something.”“I just came to work.” She grumbled. “I haven't done anything.”He peered at her. “Yeah, well, I heard you fired Y.”Pouting, she replied. “He is always giving information about me to you. I am sure that he told you that I got him fired too.”He glanced at her instead of replying.
Her eyes darted, and she waved her head, refusing to believe what he said. “My mother was long dead; are you sure it is her?”She had been told that her mother was dead and that her family had done a funeral for her. She doubted that Alexander saw the real person.Alexander pinched the bridge in between his noses. He was sure of what he was saying, although it sounded sudden. In the morning, after he had woken up, he got a call from one of the ladies from the mafia.After going back to the base to meet them and having a meeting, He finally concluded that the woman in the picture of one of the ladies Jake had kidnapped looked familiar. Then it dawned on him that it was Yulia's mother.“It’s her. You have her green eyes and her hair. I can't say much about the behavior though.”“I didn't ask for a behavior. How can you know that without just looking at a picture?” Sadness flashed in her green eyes. “I don't even know what my mother looks like since she disappeared when I was six. But I
It was almost time for them to visit Jake's home. Yulia had already changed into all-dark outfits; she was just putting on a wig and a lense to change her appearance.She reached out to take the smartwatch that was lying on the table. She was just putting it on when her bedroom door opened, and Alexander walked in.Her head snapped in his direction; he was already changed. His hands were pocketed, and he looked different than he used to.She drank at every sight of him; he looked so hot in red hair. The shirt sleeve was folded, and they showcased that tattoo that was on his arm.“Are you done drooling?” He demanded as he walked to where she was and took the smartwatch from her. “Since you got back your mother's properties, you haven't."Knowing what he was talking about, she pouted. “Well, we have a lot to do, don't we?”He helped her wear the smart watch on her wrist; his gaze lingered on the wristwatch more than necessary.“Are you sure Nelson's inventions work?” Alexander crooked h
“Here we are." Alessandro parked the car under a tree, turning off the engine. “We are just in time; the lights are still on.”Alexander grabbed the front seat and held the binoculars in his eyes. He glanced at the building; the lights were on, just like Alessandro said. The curtains were drawn, and it was sure that Jake's mother was still indoors.According to Yulia's research, she always left the house in her old truck and headed for a place where they had no idea where it was.“We're thirty minutes early," Yulia murmured, glancing at her watch. "We need to get in before she notices us.”Alexander pulled the binoculars from his eyes and handed them to Yulia, who looked at the building through them.“What do you think she is doing?" Alexander inquired, his eyes scanning the building.“Probably getting ready to leave. Let's go in now.” Yulia replied.She handed the binoculars to Alessandro. Alexander took the cameras that he had gotten from Nelson. He handed all of it to Yulia, who du
