MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 18: I AM WILLING TO WAIT
Melissa The audacity of this man who called himself Alexander Pierce was something I couldn't place my hands on yet. After all the things he did to scar me mentally and emotionally, he still had the guts to show his very beautiful face to me. What was I even saying? I should not be complimenting his looks at the moment but I couldn't help it. I could tell where my boys got their handsomeness from. Such a fine man, I blushed. “Miss Melissa, Miss Melissa,” the director's voice infiltrated my thoughts, forcing me out of my mental masturbation. “Yes sir,” I composed myself and stiffened my gaze. “I'm saying that I'm giving you the rest of the day away since Mr Alexander Pierce wants to see you. You can dismiss whatever you are doing and carry on,” he said. For a moment, I was glad that I could use the rest of the day to relax and definitely have time to pick my kids up at school. But I refuse to give Alexander that satisfaction. There was no point arguing with the director, I simply
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 19: ANOTHER BLOWN CHANCE
Alexander The kind of luck I had always baffled me, especially when it came to fixing my mistakes with Melissa. First it was Cindy, now it was Bree. I turned to look at Melissa, she had a neutral expression on her face. “What are you doing here Bree?” I asked again. “Are you following me?” She wore an irritating smile on her face, shrugging her shoulders. Her hands went over themselves, resting directly under her bosom. “Well you could say that,” the smile disappeared from her face immediately after she ended her statement. Melissa still wasn't saying anything. It looked like she was enjoying the show that was going on between Bree and I. I closed the space between Melissa and I, trying to find the most sincere words for her. There was no point trying to act all tough in front of her when she literally just saw me a few minutes ago at my most vulnerable. “Melissa, please I know I messed up again. I'm never going to be tired of asking for more chances.” “I don't know why you are
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 20: A BIG PROBLEM
Lady Selene Immediately the door went shut, my eyes came in contact with Bree's. She was cradled up in my husband's arms, crying profusely. We all knew how badly behaved she was, we hoped and prayed that she would change but it felt like we were being punished for something we don't know. She released herself from Carlos' arms and ran straight to me. Her eyes were puffy and red, she was in a very pitiful state and I could only wrap her face in my wrinkled hands. “What did he say mother? How is he? Does he want to see me?” She attempted to go into his room but I restricted her from moving forward. “To be clear Bree, Alexander doesn't like you. Not even to the way you think, he doesn't have an iota of feelings for you.” I could see the veins standing on her neck, the tears were coming in fast and she tried to hold them back but it was all futile. She broke down like a river turned into a dam, breaking barriers and destroying everything along its path. She fell to the floor, holdin
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 21: LEAVING CARLTON
Alexander As soon as the first light forced its way into my room, I pushed the comforter away from my body and walked into the bathroom. Knowing that my stay in Carlton was over, not my best yet but at least I was able to figure out where my wife and kids were. I decided to leave that morning without informing the Thatchers. I arranged the few clothes Lady Selene had got me in my wardrobe. My suitcase was small and concise, I didn't come with so much luggage. I took a quick bath and wore my suit. The door seemed to open at that moment, Lady Selene walked in with a tray of food in her hand, smiling. “Going to see your wife this morning again?” She asked, sitting on the bed. “Yeah I plan on doing that before I get to the airport,” I said. Her head snapped in my direction immediately the words sank in her head. “Airport?” She stood up and stayed in front of me, still, I refused to meet her eyes. “You are leaving? So soon?” I wrapped her hands in mine. “It's best I leave Mimi, fo
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 22: ONE SIDED LOVE
Bree The house was still and quiet, like the air in the atmosphere needed permission to blow. I tucked myself out of bed and dragged my lazy feet along the long hallway. Mother and father weren't in the living room, so I went ahead to their room. I knocked twice and helped myself in before they answered. “Morning mother, morning father,” I said, locating the bed. I sat in between them and I noticed that they only stared at me. My greeting even went unanswered. It was an expected reaction, I barely greeted my parents in the morning and just went about my business. “Morning Bree, did you have a nice sleep?” Father asked, caressing my blonde hair. “I tried,” my hoarse voice reached my ears. I had cried myself to sleep last night, praying in between that Alexander would look at me the way I wanted. I knew that I was spoiled, not by my parents of course but because that was just what I wanted. I believed nobody could talk to me anyhow, I sat heavily on the respect and properties that
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 23: TROUBLE FOR MELISSA
MelissaAs soon as the door went shut in his face, I stood by the window, holding the curtains a bit and watched him drive away. He had a smile on his weary face and I found my lips curving into a small smile.“You still like him, mother,” Albert startled me with his words. “You were smiling a few moments ago.”“Stop behaving like you are an adult, you do not know what like or love is,” I shunned him, walking back to my former position.He followed me into the kitchen, helping me with the spoon I was using to stir the food.“Well, I do know that he is genuine about his apology. Just give him a chance, mother. At least we would have someone to call daddy. I can't count how many kids I've threatened in school just for them to shut up.”I looked at my 7 year old son, who was going to be 8 in the next few months, in disbelief.“You never told me about any kids bullying you,” I said, worrying hinting in my voice.“That's because I'm capable of taking care of things when you are not there,”
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 24: WHERE'S OUR DADDY?
Melissa I was really finding it difficult to wrap my head around what was happening today. First of all, it was Alexander showing up to my house unannounced, informing me of his decision to travel today. Next it was this man who called himself Francis, forcing me to go on a dinner date with him. I tried to keep my anger in check and also to refrain from using the cuss words that were right on the tip of my tongue. “How did you find where I live?” He stepped out of the car, a smile that irritated me from the depth of my soul, lingering on his face. I found myself comparing him to Alexander, I wouldn't have really cared if it was Alex wearing the smile. Besides, it made Alex look more handsome and manly, blushing quietly to the thoughts in my head. At that moment, my head calculated that this morning was the only time I had seen him smile genuinely, ever since we saw each other again. “It's a small town Melissa, everybody knows everyone. And besides,” he took just one single step fo
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 25: IT'S A SHAME, I DON'T KNOW MY WIFE
AlexanderThe air in the atmosphere reminded me of what I had left behind and missed, the sweet smelling nostalgia of New York hit my nose. I had missed home, I had really missed my environment and the confines of my walls.I strapped a nose mask to my nose, concealing my identity away from the public. I wasn't mentally ready to be signing autographs left and right.The plane hit the runway and I looked through the open window, admiring the beauty of New York. I carried the little bag that went with me to Carlton, finding my way out of the plane as soon as we were cleared for passing.I saw Felix waiting patiently for me outside.“Good morning Sir Alex,” he reached for my bag and directed me to the car. “Did you enjoy your trip?”Over the few years of Melissa's disappearance, Felix and I had become closer than we used to be. He has been working for my family since I was 10. He refused to have a family of his own, he claimed the woman he would love to settle with was betrothed to anoth

MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 116: A VERY BIG HAPPY FAMILY
AlexanderI had the biggest round table made yesterday, with so many chairs. We wanted a large family meal with everyone we had come in contact with that year except the people who were behind bars. Mrs Dawson was closest to us, so I had her picked up myself. Janet, Maddy, Sally, Jayson, Andrew; were all invited from Carlton. I had my private jet go pick them up. It was a very beautiful sight.The chefs cooked exotic meals and everyone looked forward to eating together.Knowing the table wouldn't be able to get inside, we placed it under the tree in my yard. Everyone got to get a room to themselves and even though the house was rowdy and noisy, it still made a lot of sense.“The table is ready and being set, come on out everyone,” the kids ran around the house, bellowing this information.Everyone trooped out of their rooms, laughing and talking with one another. One by one, we sat at the table and the empty chairs were moved away by the staff.I stood up, raising a glass cup and a for
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 115: MARRY ME AGAIN
AlexanderEverything was starting to happen the way I wanted it to be. A very big happy loving family, with no issues or any form of bad blood amongst us. Yet I still dreamed of doing one beautiful thing, getting married to Melissa properly. I had asked for her hand in marriage again from her parents and they had given me their full support. Deep down I know that Melissa would love to start afresh with me again but I just wanted her to know some disturbing things from my life.I admired the diamond ring I got for her the day before yesterday. I had solely made sure that was all I did yesterday—find a wedding ring that is befitting for my woman.My ears caught the whiff of footsteps and I quickly hid the ring case.She sank into the bed beside me, rubbing my face. “Hey Alexander Pierce, I've been looking for you all over the house. Are you sure you are fine?”“Of course,” I gave a small smile. I didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes and she noticed it. To her, it might feel l
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 114: RELINQUISHING MY PROPERTIES
BreeA bowl of popcorn sat graciously on the table as we munched on it. Myself and the trio were binging a popular TV series. The remote was yanked from Albert's hand as he was the one controlling everything.“Hey,” he turned around screaming, he toned down his voice immediately he saw who got the remote from him.“Excuse us,” Alexander sat with Melissa beside me. Lady Selene walked in with Sir Carlos and just like that the kids found their way inside.It was a suspicious gathering. I looked from left to right but all their attention was on the TV. “I think I'll go inside with my buddies too,” I said, standing up.“No sir down Bree, you are needed here. Not with them,” Alexander said. Reluctantly, I sat. “Well, will someone be kind enough to explain the sudden strictness on your faces and the gathering?”He tuned the TV set from one station to another and he finally settled for one. It was a news channel, James and Melissa's foster father were being sent to jail.Judge: “James Talon
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 113: WE LOVE YOU BREE
BreeIt's been 3 days since I last went to the police station. Alexander and Melissa were back home and everything and everywhere has been lively—back to how it used to be. I was still sulking about my visit, I was hating myself for it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became with myself. I locked myself in my room, not letting anyone see me or talk to me. Aiden was smart enough to know that I didn't want to be seen so he always delivered my food through the space under the door. Everyone tried to talk to me but I wasn't letting them in.As usual that day, I sat in my bed, moping into space, still in my current situation before I heard the impossible.“Please break this door down, it's my house. I have a lot of them and I'll just have this repaired instead if everyone chose to stay here.I didn't believe what I heard. A few strikes at the locks and the door was forced open. I maintained my position and didn't move an inch.Melissa ran forward first, hugging me without mindi
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 112: SEEKING CLOSURE GONE WRONG
BreeWith a black hoodie over my head, hiding the plasters that were still on my face, I snuck out of the house to the main road. Boarding a taxi to the police station, I was just so grateful that Melissa and Alexander weren't back from their trip. The kids and Lady Selene are today, sleeping I guess. That can only explain why the house was extremely silent before I left.No matter how much I tried to take my mind off it, I just wanted to see him. The man that called himself my biological father, the man that killed my mother just because he envied a set of people with generational wealth.“Hi good morning,” I greeted the first officer I came in contact with. “I'm here to see James Talon.”“Please sign here while I bring him out for you,” he pushed the visitor's signing book to me. “What's your name?”“Bree.”“Bree what?”I didn't know which one was appropriate. Whether to say Bree Thatcher or Bree Talon, none of them was settling right with me at the moment.“Just say Bree,” I half s
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 111: NO MORE BAD BLOODS
Melissa With the car seat lowered to the back, I desperately sought sleep. Alexander and I were home alone with the staff, we refused to sleep on time and played around like kids till the early hours of the morning. I wondered how he got up so early without a trace of sleep on his face, I guess work had made him get accustomed to it.I felt a hand on my face, pinching my nose and my ears. In a sleepy voice, I begged.“Oh God Alexander, let me have a little nap before we get to our destination, please,” I begged.“That isn't going to work on me,” he taunted. “Remember you wanted to play last night and I indulged you. You forget the fact that I'm a businessman and I'm used to staying awake.”I flung my hands out tiredly, signifying my surrender. “Oh the mighty Alexander, I give up. Let thy maiden enjoy her beauty sleep.”He chuckled, finally considered my request and let me be, diverting all his attention to the road. I heard him start rhyming with some words.“Wake up Melissa, we are
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 110: ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO
MelissaI sat behind the other side of the glass with a straight face, waiting for the person I was supposed to meet. Immediately she came and found her seat, I picked up the phone.“Heard you left Carlton with your family, did you come to see me because you miss me? Didn't hubby come along with you?”“I can see that your intel is still as good as ever. Even while in prison you have information about the outside world,” I said. “Your genital meet and greet business really proved useful.”She wasn't expecting me to get back to her that way, her face was riddled with shame and pain.“Ouch, I think I took it too far. My apologies, I didn't come here for that.”She sighed. “No need to beat around the bush, tell me why are you here?”“To let you know that I hold no grudges against you. You did what you had to because you were in love with my husband. Apologies, scratch that. You were obsessed with my husband Alexander Pierce. You let yourself be controlled by a man who didn't even mean wel
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 109: REUNITING HER WITH HER HUSBAND
Melissa“Are you sure you want to do this mother?” All of a sudden I wondered why she wanted to see her husband. But I guess it was a fair thing to ask for.“Yes Melissa, I want to see him,” she smiled. “I missed him so much. Even though we would see some place where I can't touch him or hold him, I still want to see his beautiful face. He's everything to me.”I didn't understand what was going on in her head, even if I tried.“Mother, he sent you to a nursing home by himself, do you remember that at all?” I said, trying to make my point. “He left you alone.”Without any argument, still with a calm face and voice, she said. “I know that, I know exactly what he did to me. But he's the love of my life, he’s everything I have and everything I've always had. So if I throw it all away because I'm mad at him for throwing me in a nursing home, then I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. Besides I met beautiful people there, beautiful people who made the days I spent there. It's not like
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 108: SURPRISE!!!
MelissaAs we got closer to the hospital, I brought out my phone and saw that I had missed several calls from Lady Selene. “Alex, let me see your phone,” with his eyes still on the road, he brought it out and handed it over to me.“What's the problem? Is everything good?”“We've missed Lady Selene's call, multiple times,” I said. “I hope she doesn't break our head as soon as we get there.”“Maybe she missed us.”I rolled my eyes at him. “You flatter yourself too much Mr.”The first person to welcome us as soon as we walked the corridors of the hospital was Lady Selene. Her face radiated so much joy and happiness.“Where have you guys been? I've been calling your phones all day. Bree is awake and she's fine,” she jumped into Alexander's arms. “And the kids?”“You know as usual, bombarding her with so many things that had happened while she wasn't awake,” she said, so casually.I hurried into her ward with Mara in front of me. “She should be resting, no one is allowed to disturb her,
