MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 98: CONFESSION OF A HEARTBROKEN WOMAN
AlexanderI sat crossed legs at Benjamin's office, watching the time slowly tick away. So was an older man who happened to recognize me instantly. The door opened and in walked Benjamin and Cindy, adorned in the prison's clothes already.“Daddy,” she ran into the older man's body, almost starting to weep again. I refused to let that moment have anything to do with my resentment about her.“My baby,” he held her tightly, not wanting to let go. Ànd instantly I figured out the type of relationship between them. “I missed you so much, I'm glad you called.”Benjamin cleared his throat, breaking the lovey-dovey moment. “Can we cut to the chase already?”“My apologies,” he settled back in his chair and kept his hands locked on his laps. “I've been coming to the station for the past few days but you insisted not to see me unless Sir Alexander arrived. Why is that?”“I need you to be a witness to the crimes your daughter committed,” he opened his drawer and brought out a recorder. He faced Cin
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 99: WE ARE GETTING A DIVORCE
AlexanderThe drive to the hospital was a very long one, I couldn't help but remember the conversation at the station. Cindy was just a pawn in this whole game and James was definitely the masterminder. Her obsession with me put her in trouble, it was the same with Bree. But Bree was lucky, she had strong people who couldn't leave her all by herself no matter how many wrongs she did; and the fact that she came to her senses quickly. All I could feel towards Cindy was pity.The next turn to the hospital car park made me smile and giddy on the inside. I insisted on making sure she regained every strength and weight she had lost working as a maid. The billionaire's wife and a child of royalty working as a maid; not only did it sound weird, it was totally rude and insulting to me. A bouquet of different flowers dishing out an intoxicating sweet smell sat at the passenger's seat of my car.“Sir Alexander, welcome,” the nurse in charge of her greeted me as I strolled gently into her room. “S
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 100: ALL I NEED IS YOUR APOLOGY
MelissaThe actual reason why I flared up was still very much unknown to me. I did my best concealing my feelings and emotions that day in front of her; but the pang of jealousy in me when I confronted him was beyond normal. The image of Alexander laying with another woman in my head was beyond terrifying. It was a very hard pill to swallow. I love him, I was starting to think of the future beyond us but I couldn't live with the thought of knowing what he did.I sobbed quietly and laid back on the bed, my head was banging really hard. All I could do was wonder what I had done wrong in my life. First, my life and education was halted just because the asshole I was starting to love wanted to show his power. And then getting pregnant and raising 3 kids all by myself. Next I got caught in a web of obsessed lovers, ready to kill just to be with him; maybe it was really time to let go of him. Loving him was becoming too much of a trouble for me. I just wanted to live a quiet life with my fa
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 101: THE TRUTH IS STARTING TO COME TO LIGHT
JamesFrustration and anger were beginning to set in. They were starting to feel heavy in me. I wasn't getting any news from anywhere. Francis had been killed and last I heard, Cindy was arrested. That bitch would definitely run her mouth. My guts kept telling me to flee but I was the proudest man there can ever be. Even with all the mental stress I went through because of Alexander Pierce, he was still topping the charts of billionaires. Even while in Carlton, the staff handling his businesses here in New York were doing a very wonderful job.A soap opera was playing on my TV screen, diverting my attention from my current problems. The security man rushed in, panting like a man that was being pursued like a lion.I surveyed him to and fro. “What is it Ken? How can I help you?”He composed himself and stood straight. “There are 2 policemen outside wanting to see you. They came with a warrant, they request your presence.”I composed myself and hid my fear. “Tell them I'll be with them
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 102: INTIMACY
Alexander2 weeks later Melissa was back on her feet, same as the kids. They were up and running and the whole house felt more alive. My family was complete, though I had the intention of dealing with Jayson, the bastard who almost made me lose my wife. The bastard who saw her as nothing more than a sexual tool. Melissa pleaded for him and I was starting to wonder what kind of woman I had married. In one moment, she's a crazy being, acting irrational and the next she's the sweetest person I have ever seen.“Daddy daddy, our bags are packed,” Albert ran to me showing me his tiny luggage. “I told you that you don't need to pack anything, there's enough at home,” I poked him in a playful manner. “There's more than enough money to get another one; more than enough to get better ones.”His face went sullen and I wondered if I had said the wrong word. “No no Albert, I did not mean that. You can pack whatever you want but I wouldn't want to stress you.”“I'm just sentimental about some thi
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 103: BREE TALON, NOT BREE THATCHER
AlexanderMyself, Melissa and Lady Selene sat in the detective's office, waiting patiently for our visitors to arrive. Sir Carlos’ health has really declined and she just decided to make a quick appearance to New York when she heard about the arrest of James Talon. My family and I already bade farewell to Carlton a few days ago and the kids quickly adapted to their new environment.“Your majesty, Sir Alexander” the officer in charge walked in, bowing. Behind him was James and the man who willingly gave away his foster daughter for a sum of money. Her body tensed up beside me upon sighting him and all I could do when I felt it was place my right hand over hers. One simple look from me did the magic, she relaxed a bit and forced a smile out.As he took his sit opposite us, a faint sad smile appeared on the corner of his lips. His focus was Melissa.“Are we taking this to be a family reunion or what?” The sarcasm in James' voice couldn't go unnoticed.I fired back. “And what if it is? Yo
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 104: DEVASTATED BREE
Alexander Melissa and I quickly rushed her to the nearby clinic. Upon seeing who I was, no questions were asked and she was wheeled in immediately, I held the panicking Melissa down and helped her relax.“It's okay baby, it's okay. She'll be fine, she's a strong woman, I know her very well,” I hugged her tightly and kept stroking her back, making her reduce the way she was hyperventilating.“I can't lose her, I've barely spent any time with them,” she sobbed. “Sir Carlos is over there in Carlton too, weak. What's happening Alex? Who did we offend?”“Shhhhh, mama, it's okay,” that was the first time calling her mama and it felt so good calling her that. “Nothing is happening, I'm here for you. It's just some selfish people who don't like to see beautiful things happen.Trust me.”A few minutes later, the nurse called us in to inform us that she had become stable. Melissa sat by her bedside, smooching her fragile hand. I gently asked her to come, we needed to sort something out as soon
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 105: WHATEVER HAPPENS, DON'T DIE BREE
AlexanderWe were all kept in a separate room, all of us waiting for the dreadful news. The silence evoking from each one of us was louder than any word we might be saying. Bree sat all by herself, her knees wrapped tightly to her chest. Her eyes were red and puffy, I doubt if she had any rest the night before. The trio did nothing except sit by her side and place their preferred part of their body on her. At intervals she hiccuped; and that alone told me that she was still crying.James was helped inside to get a sample too, he insisted on staying behind to get the news too but he was kept somewhere else.The door opened and a huge fear gnawed at her. The doctor walked in with a result in his hand, and behind him was James, handcuffed and a police officer.“So as we can all see, this result is coming straight from the lab. It hasn't been opened, it hasn't been tampered with in any form.”He proceeded to open it, showing all of us the sheet of paper with the result. After scanning th

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,
