MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 87: STAYING OPTIMISTIC
AlexanderFinding sleep hasn't been easy lately, I tossed from one end of the bed to the other. The sun was beginning to set behind the horizon again. As fascinating as it was, it looked nothing as beautiful to me. If my life was complete at the moment, we would definitely be swooning over its beauty.My ringing phone jolted me up, and seeing that it was a hidden number, I decided to ignore it. Not long after, the same call came in and I was cajoled by my inner self to pick it.“Hello this is Alexander Pierce, who am I onto?”The next thing I heard had me leapt up from my bed without thinking.“Daddy,” Aurora's voice pierced into my hearing immediately.Before I could say anything or register it perfectly in my brain, the line went dead. “Aurora? Is mummy there with you?”I kept saying, not knowing the line had gone dead. I tried calling back immediately but it was a hidden number, no way it would connect.“Fuck it,” I threw the phone on the thinking, walking the length of the room. M
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 88: MY BUSINESS RIVAL
Alexander1 week later“I've sent the necessary files to your computer sir, everything I could lay my hands on. They are not much but should be able to lead somewhere,” Damien said. “Thank you Damien, I'll go through it and see if I need you to do any more digging for me.”The past week has been draining, not knowing how they fared was really disturbing. I faced my laptop squarely and went through the details of every information sent. One thing seemed to stand out in all of it; James Talon. My biggest rival in New York.A gentle knock rasped on my door, without looking up, I answered. “Come in.”“Hi Alex, mother asked me to tell you breakfast is ready,” Bree said, popping her body halfway through the door.“I'll be there in a minute,” I answered, still focused on my work.No response came from her thereafter and neither did I hear my door close. I looked up and saw her smiling to herself.“Is anything the problem?” I asked. “Are you good?”She quickly swayed her head sideways. “Noth
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 89: KILLING FRANCIS
James(Masterminder)When I got the news about Francis being in prison, I was worried and scared. Two weird emotions that never existed in my dictionary until now. He wouldn't dare snitch on me, else he knows what happens to snitches. Snitches get stitches. I walked around the house with my cane, searching for my cell phone. Finally found it, I placed a call to who I had in mind.“Yuri, it's me,” I said. “I need someone to be below 6 feet before the end of the week. Scratch that, as soon as possible. Can you make it happen?”“$100,000. Non-negotiable,” he bellowed. Just like I expected, he barely talks and only talks when it is necessary.I was impatient, money wasn't a problem for me. He knew that. “Agreed, but are you sure you can do it today?”“Details?” As usual, straight to the point.I gave him everything he needed to know about Francis’ current whereabouts. I should feel bad for killing my nephew but unfortunately I can't remember the last time I felt anything personal towards a
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 90: IT'S GETTING WORSE
MelissaThis current state of my life was beginning to make me doubt myself. Was I really strong? Back in New York, with everything that happened, was it just adrenaline or what. My kids looked up to me but deep down I was falling apart.It was going to be a month if I could count right; Cindy has resorted to giving us poor food and most times I survived on water while I let my kids eat.The door opened as usual and all of them cradled around me, their fears radiating towards me.“Hello Melissa,” the stupid bitch had a big wide grin on her face. I barely have the strength to respond to her so I left her unanswered. She came forward in a swift and grabbed my hair roughly, making a wince escape from my lips.She lowered herself to the level of my ear. “I do not have the entire patience in the world bitch. When I next say hello, you respond appropriately.” She toggled at my hair, making it more painful. “Do you understand me?”I quickly nodded my head and instantly she let go of my hair,
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 91: OUR NEW HOME
Melissa Before our journey to the mysterious location, I sat all 3 of them down, making sure to stick it in their head that no matter what happens, they should never mention Alexander Pierce to be their father. We had no idea how many obsessive lovers or enemies he had out there. Our life was our priority now.She made sure to blindfold us and tie our hands behind our backs before we were moved out. I wasn't much of a prayer person but I kept muttering a small prayer to myself, that my kids should be safe from any type of harm.The van halted at once, making us fall into one another.“Bastard,” I mumbled under my breath, making sure that my kids never caught that.“Bring them out,” she shouted. And once again we were helped out like disabled people into God knows where.“Hello Andrew,” she greeted. “As I promised, I've brought a fresh helping hand. She has been a hustler all her life so she will do a great job for you.”“Take off her blindfold,” a scratchy voice said. I blinked gentl
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 92: HELP YOURSELF MEL
MelissaI was so glad that Maddy assigned me to be in the kitchen all through. No stepping out at all and I had to just make sure that the food was ready at the right time. That way I've been able to avoid much interaction with the men.“Mel, Mel,” Maddy called out for me as she ran into the kitchen. That was the name she gave me and I gladly fell in love with it. A smile as bright as the morning sun was plastered onto her face. She flashed a piece of paper in front of me. “See what I got for you.”Excited, I quickly rinsed my hands and wiped them on the napkin tucked at my waist.“My babies,” I grabbed it from her and hugged it first, making my eyes well up with tears.It read: ‘Dear mother,’ seeing dear mother, I instantly knew Albert was the pen of all of them this time. ‘Dear mother, how have you been? I hope you are doing fine. We've been good too, I hope you are. Hope you are holding the end of your bargain too? Because sincerely it's hard keeping my true character hidden but f
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 93: SET UP FOR MURDER
Melissa One week laterEach day around Maddy felt blissful to me. Every 2 or 3 days, she makes sure to bring beautiful news and letters from my kids. She was keeping the end of her promise. That moment in that house, we were inseparable and everyone knew it.Like every other night where I get a letter from the minions, I'd lay it under my pillow and sleep off.But something was off about that night, I felt uneasy even though their letter rested in my bosom. I brushed it off, believing that it was nothing.A few minutes later, as I laid in the dark reminiscing about my life and Albert's worry; a ticking sound caught my ears. Someone was trying to break into my room. Before I could stand up, the door creaked open, revealing a silhouette of whoever it was.I flipped the bedside light on and instantly I recognised who it was. Panic, fear and anger set themselves into my body immediately. I maintained my stance in case this bastard tried to do anything funny.“Did you miss your way around
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 94: SALLY
MelissaIt's been 2 days in the basement. Neither did I feel hungry nor thirsty. All I thought about was my kids. They don't even know that mother is going to have her head on a stake soon. I knelt and prayed to the lord of the heavens as much as I could. Help Maddy regain consciousness. People die from too many sleeping pills, she was all I had in that house.The door of the basement opened slightly and a piece of paper was thrown inside, alongside a plate of food and a bottle of water dropped. The door shut gently, without making a noise. Thinking that it was another form of setup, I went for the piece of paper first.It read: ‘I know you did not do it. You like Maddy so much, if possible more than yourself. I saw Jayson do it but getting on his bad side is a lot worse than where you are right now. I have been there before, on his bad side, I know what it is like. That's why I couldn't speak up to defend you. I'm so sorry, but the least I can do is check up on your kids and assure t

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,
