MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 35: THE BOMBSHELL
AlexanderThe sun forcing its way into the room met me directly on my face. I had bags under my eyes, I didn't sleep for up to an hour. I kept tossing and turning, thinking about how the day would go. Better still, the direction of how my entire life would go now.A knock on the door forced me out of bed, it was Lady Selene.“Good morning Mimi,” I answered in a gruff voice.Her heels made pointy noise against the hard floor. She was adorned in jewelry and had a very light makeover. “Were you able to sleep, child?”“You can guess the answer, Mimi. I tried to,” I stopped my words and looked at her. Alternating between her and the wall clock.“It's just 7 in the morning, are you going somewhere?”She scoffed. “Don't be ridiculous, child. It's a big day today. I've had the cooks prepare food for everyone. Now get inside the bathroom and wash up, I'll have your clothes arranged for you by the time you are done.”Her attitude worried me, sent me thinking into space. “What is going on? Why a
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 36: A WEIRD WAY TO SPILL THE TRUTH
Melissa After her explanation, the only word that could free itself from the captivity of my mouth was wow. I was beyond surprised. I turned to look at the man who sat opposite me, he refused to look at me. Still gaping at whatever amused him on the table, I called out first. “Mr Billionaire,” every single word of mine reeked of anger covered in sarcasm. “Is it true?” His head gently went up and the only thing he did was nod in affirmation. “This can't be possible,” the lady who we just both found out that she was adopted kept mumbling. Yeah, her name is Bree. Bree kept mumbling that. She was one minute away from losing it. Her eyes were glassy and the stares she directed to me were full of hate. “So after all these while, you think now is the right time to tell me that I'm adopted,” she screamed, standing up and banging her hands on the table simultaneously. Yup, she was definitely a spoiled brat. No one said a word to her. I guess they knew how irrational she behaved. “You,
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 37: RE-LIVING THE PAST
Melissa I quickly relieved myself of the things I had carried, rushing towards my dumbstruck kid. He asked again, as if to be sure of what he heard. “Mr Alexander Pierce is our daddy?” “Honey, it's not what you think. It's uh, it's complicated,” I started doing damage control. “Just answer the question mom, is he our daddy?” I feared this day might come, I didn't want to answer yet I couldn't leave the poor child hanging. “He is,” Albert answered, walking into the room with Aurora. “Mr Alexander Pierce is our real daddy.” Oh bless heavens, I rolled my eyes inwardly. Just that one child who would see every tense situation as normal. Aiden diverted his attention away from me, to his brother. “Albert, you knew all this while?” “Sorry,” he said casually. “I promised not to tell you guys.” I could see my baby start breaking into two. “Really? Why? Because we weren't as smart as you or because we aren't so good at hiding our emotions like you?” “Can you listen to yourself, Albert?
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 38: ALEXANDER PIERCE MUST BE MINE
Bree Normally I'd plan my next day the night before. And when I saw Alexander's impromptu arrival, I instantly believed that the next day would be as blissful as paradise. Even though I know that he doesn't look at me or regard me in a way that I would want, I still longed for his presence. And now the news they bore to me this morning was beyond devastating. Not only did it turn out that I was adopted, it also turned out that Alexander's supposed wife was their real child. The signs were there, I didn't take any of it into consideration. I didn't take the slightest resemblance from any of them. I should be angry with Alexander for knowing about it yet not saying anything. But then one could not really fault him. Mum and dad would have instructed him not to say a word about it. I found my attachment and my obsession toward him growing deeper and deeper. 2 of those kids who sat at the dining table looked so much like him. As I kept tossing and turning in bed, I heard noise downstai
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 39: PROMISE TO GET BACK WITH DADDY
Melissa “Welcome home honey,” Janet threw her hands out immediately she saw me. “Tell me you won, that was why the Thatchers summoned you.” She didn't get the reaction she expected from everyone of us and just composed herself. She read the room, looking at the kids sullen behaviors and drawing out a conclusion herself. “Did something happen?” She asked, and of course no one gave her an answer. Aiden was always the friendliest who always said things the way they were but she was wrong that day. Aiden was beyond pissed. He grabbed his bag and headed straight to his room, Aurora followed suit. Albert grabbed an apple from the counter, walking in the direction of his room before facing me. “You two have a lot of things to catch up on, I'm going to leave you to that.” “Are you sure that kid's mine?” I asked Janet, still not understanding how difficult it is to decipher his emotion. “Well honey,” she took a spot right beside me. “Going by the resemblance he bears with Alexander, he's
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 40: MY COLD HEART IS MELTING
Melissa The day transformed into dusk as soon as possible. I wondered how long I had slept for. “Knock knock,” Albert stood in front of my room. “Wakey wakey, you have a visitor.” I stretched my stiff hands and legs for a while. “Visitor? Who? Is it–” He cut me short quickly. “No it's not dad. It's someone else.” “Give me a few minutes, I'll be out now,” I discharged him. I helped myself into the bathroom, rinsing my face and other parts of my body. Whoever was looking for was deep rooted at the back of my mind. Well, for me to know who it is, I'll have to just see for myself. Janet was helping the kids dish out their food. I looked around only for me to see Francis sitting at the far end of the couch, waving and smiling at me. I got closer to him. “What do you want here? Haven't I told you not to come here again?” “Your kids weren't so nice, especially the one who came to call you out,” he pointed at Albert and I hit his hand down. “Don't ever point your hands at my kids,”
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 41: TRYING TO FIX MY MESS
AlexanderLast night outside her house, I couldn't help but notice her disgust under the balcony light when she walked that man out of her house. That man knew more about our relationship than anyone. Immediately her eyes locked with mine, she ran to himself and I could only hide myself before she came back.Her flashlight flashed the area where I once stood, she was desperately trying to find out who was stalking her.I got out and peeped through the sitting room window. Watching her tell Albert to keep quiet had me force my laugh in. Her friend wasn't helping matters either, she kept making the whole situation more funny.They all said grace and started digging in before Albert spoke up again, drawing her attention to the wrapped box Felix gave her during the day. He was definitely someone that couldn't keep his mouth shut.Immediately the wrapper went off and she raised the first note up, the three of them ran from their seat, straight to her back, cooing.She was surprised and did
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 42: FIND MY WIFE'S FOSTER PARENTS
AlexanderI strained my eyes at the light forcing it way in through the semi open curtains. I found my way to the window and closed it properly, I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet. I spent a greater deal of the night with Carl downstairs when I entered the house. Lady Selene and Bree had gone to bed, Sir Carlos was waiting for me before he could sleep. And we ended up talking about where I went and just jumping on random things.My phone chimed and I struggled to get to where it was. It was a message from Nancy.“Right on time,” I said aloud in my gruffy voice while opening her message.Damien is on standby sir, what do you need me to do?I placed a call to her immediately and she picked up at the second ring.“Good morning sir, Damien is here with me,” she said.“Great, hand the phone over to him.”The phone went silent for a while before Damien spoke.“Good morning sir, it's Damien.”“Damien, I know you keep a list of all the people I ask you to look into. So please do me a favor

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,
