MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 58: COME BACK TO NEW YORK WITH ME
MelissaIf a mosquito landed on my skin while sleeping, I'd jump up immediately. Subtle talks kept flying around where we slept but I was still enjoying the feeling and rest from the night before. Until one particular talk caught my ear; they slept together.I opened my eyes to find myself wrapped carefully in Alexander's arms. His mouth was curved into the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen, he had a happy look on his face. He must be enjoying the sleep like I am too. Last night was a lot, I wasn't ready to get into the details.“Uhhhhhh,” I heard a voice saying. “It's way past breakfast, can you two just get up already?”“Shhhhh, daddy and mummy are still sleeping. Please don't disturb them,” I felt Alexander putting his hand out, shooing them away. His eyes were still closed and the other arm wrapped around me. I had no idea he was awake too.“5 minutes is all we have to offer, you and your rabbit should get up and find us food,” Albert said.I gasped unconsciously, making Alexande
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 59: PREGNANCY
Alexander Her mood changed almost immediately after she heard that question. I wouldn't blame her, there is only pain and heartbreak left for her in that place. That wasn't the initial question I wanted to ask but it just popped suddenly in my head and I pushed it out without thinking twice.The kitchen was quiet and I took that time to plead with her and also tell her about the current state of her foster mum. She gripped the clothes on her chest tightly as the tears were trying to force their way out. If she could hold her heart in her hand, she would. The only thing I could make out of her words was that she was taking all the blame. In the actual sense, I was the one that derailed her life journey.I sensed that she didn't have the strength to cook anymore, all she did was weep and weep. I grabbed my phone from the counter and placed an order for breakfast for all of us. The ingredients she had diced were placed in the fridge. She still did not leave her spot, I carried her to he
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 60: ALEXANDER'S ACCIDENT
FrancisI parked my car not far away from the Thatcher's mansion, watching and surveying anything that would happen. Over the course of the night after that phone call, I brainstormed and brainstormed on various ways to end the beautiful legacy of Alexander Pierce. And suddenly it came, like it was revealed to me. My staying up all through the night wasn't in vain, Bree was going to play the major role in it.I rang up first thing in the morning, asking if I could meet up with her. I was always welcomed in the house, so it didn't matter. The servants knew me well. I connived with a friend of mine who was a doctor and had him prepare a pregnancy test result for Bree Thatcher.“You need to tell Alexander you are pregnant,” I said to her. Her eyes reflected the sudden emotion she was feeling.“But I'm not,” her voice went up a little higher. “What are you trying to do?”“Relax Bree,” I pulled out the pregnancy test result and showed. “It doesn't matter if you are or not, tests don't lie.”
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 61: IS HE DEAD?
MelissaI stirred from my sleep and ran my hands through the other side of the bed, hoping to touch a fit bodied man. Feeling an empty bed, I opened my eyes and sat up straight. A note was left by my bedside. I know I've done so many foul things to you but please whatever I say now, I mean it with all my heart. I'm so sorry Melissa, I'll give you some space in case you don't want to see my face yet.“That's not true,” I shoved the comforter away from my body and dashed to the sitting room, looking for Alexander.The past few hours with him, I understood what it meant to be wanted; to be needed, to be desired.“Where's my husband?” I asked Felix. He sat still while the kids played with him. No doubt they felt comfortable around him.“He left a moment ago, said he needs to pick some things from the house,” he said. “Not to worry, he will be back soon.”I decided not to pay any attention to him, I grabbed my phone, dialed it and his phone went straight to voicemail.Going back and forth,
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 62: THE ANTAGONIST
Trigger warning ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ Reader's discretion is adviced.MasterminderThe content of the glass gently caressed my lips in a soothing way. I stared at the 42 inch Samsung TV hung on my wall, looking at the headline currently showing.“Alexander dares compete with me? Does he know how many things I've done and how many people I've sent to their early graves?” I said proudly. I was the leader of the most deadliest club in New York. Pity was far from my name, I do things the way I wanted. And for Alexander, he had erred with a lot of people. It's high time someone taught him a lesson, and I had taken it upon myself to be the one to deal with him.The door gently opened, a guard coming straight for me. He bowed, with his hands behind his back.“Boss, the girls have been caught. They are in the basement waiting for you.”I dismissed him with my hand. “I'll be with you soon.”Using the sofa as a support, I carefully stood up and found my way into the basement. Asides the cult I handled, I w
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 63: FIGURING OUT THE TRUTH
BreeI tried my best to remain calm, my phone was in my ear as I talked in hushed voices. Sometimes the call went through, sometimes it went straight to voicemail. And when it finally went through, I was beyond pissed and happy. It was a mixed feeling.I found my way back to where everyone was.Felix, Lady Selene and Sir Carlos held each of the kids. Melissa's eyes were swollen and red, she had devoted most of her time to crying and staying quiet. After the slap she had given me, I truly realized she wasn't an easy woman. She would do whatever she wanted at that point; and how she was feeling, I had no idea. It was definitely going to be greater than mine.My ringing tone captured my thoughts back to the present. The caller ID surprised me, while I stayed by myself, I placed 2 by 2 together. It was all making sense.Francis wasn't making sense the night before, he sounded pissed and irritated. And all of a sudden, he came to me in the morning, trying to make me believe he was still on
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 64: THE VISIT
MelissaIt's been a week since Alexander's accident. The doctor informed us that he slipped into a coma and there was no time frame for when he might come out. Good news travels so slowly but bad news goes faster; the whole town of Carlton had come to know that I was the legitimate child of the Thatchers and also the legal wife of Alexander Pierce. Making my kids the children of royalty and also the children of a billionaire.Unnecessary respect was starting to be accorded to us and it was really pissing me off. I spent the first few days in the hospital beside him, telling him about the happy memories we were starting to make. How he loved me and how much he promised to never leave me and the kids again.The doctors warned us never to cry or be sad in his presence, everyone always came with happy faces and played and joked around with him. But deep down we carry a burden as heavy as a rock.“Take some time off Melissa,” Janet dragged me out of my reverie. “I'm sure the director would
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 65: ALEXANDER
AlexanderI tried reaching out, I tried speaking but nothing was happening. I heard doors opening and closing but none of them could hear me no matter how much I screamed in my head.‘Hello, hello,’ I kept saying in my head but nothing proved abortive.Just when I thought it was all over, a woman stepped in with a bunch of other people. They dropped whatever they held and hummed a beautiful song for me. It was soothing, I wanted to just stand up and appreciate them for their thoughtful gift.But wait, I had no idea what happened to me. Who was I? Why was I in bed? With all the beeping around me, I tried to remember where I was. I summoned all my strength to at least do something. Someone should be able to see me. I raised my right index finger, hoping to get attention.“Doctor Henry, it's Alexander,” I heard a woman shout. Does she know me? Who was she? Why was she here?Immediately I heard her shout, I was filled with joy knowing that what I aimed to achieve was achieved.The doors o

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,
