Ep 3
‘Good morning Madam'.The house keeper,Mrs Snow woke Alice up in a very soft and calm tone that was oddly soothing.
‘Good morning Mrs....
‘Snow'.
‘Oh yeah right good morning Mrs Snow, where's your boss?'.Alice asked glancing around the bedroom.
‘He's off to Limerick and soon your new personal assistant would be here to brief you up about work but first you have to eat breakfast'.Mrs Snow replied with a warm smile on her face which was endearing to Alice.
She's the one person who makes her feel welcome in the house at least.

The helicopter landed very successfully on the helipad and Landon came out abruptly,and walked over to the car.The media crew took few pictures of him of which he didn't mind at all even though he was known all around.
He never really cared about what the media thinks of him whether good or bad it doesn't add any dollar to his net worth.
‘You should be on your honey moon'.Lucas said in a drawl as he opened the car's door for his hard hearted brother.
‘Honeymoons are for people who have all the time in the world to frolick in imaginary nonsense—I,brother don't have the time for that'.He said and Lucas frowned deeply.
at him
‘So you got married yesterday and you leave your wife to come over here? I thought I told you I got this Limerick project under control?'.
‘Well father doesn't trust you enough that's all why—
‘Father trusts me more than you know it brother! You're the one who doesn't trust me enough to know that I can handle this!'.
‘Well I'm here anyway'.
‘And f**k you for that'.

Alice stared at the rack of clothes in the dressing room and after a minute of pondering she finally picked out a sky blue jacket with matching pants.
‘I thought you'd be in a hotel'.Someone said from behind her and when she turned around it was Catherine who had a quizzical look on my face.
‘I know what you're gonna say Cathy but I'm..
‘You are not okay Alice just say the freaking truth for once in your life! Where's my brother'.Catherine cut her short peering outside the door for Landon.
‘He's in Limerick'.Alice sighed.
‘What?!'.
‘You heard me Cathy'.
‘Limerick?!'.
‘Yes Limerick'.
‘What is he doing in LIMERICK?!!'.
‘He has some business to run okay?!! Apparently it's more important than a honeymoon so yeah...Your brother is in Ireland!'.Alice finally imploded and all Catherine could just do was feel sorry for her.
She knew the marriage was a mistake and apparently Landon hasn't told his wife about the hidden proposal he had prepared for her to agree on.
‘Seems like you're busy here,I'll be heading out now'.She murmured and turned around to leave.
‘Ohh Cathy I'm sorry, it's just that...I just had a bad night that's all.I'm heading over to the office in few minutes wanna join me?'.Alice stopped her and she noticed how tired she was.
‘Nah don't bother,I'll come over later for dinner but right now just do your thing okay?'.
‘Hmmm okay'.
‘Oh and Alice...'.
‘Huh?'.
‘If you need anything,anything at all just give me a call okay?'.

Central Park around noon is always crawling with people and dogs all around,all of which wasn't really pleasant to Candace Parker or as the media knows her as Candy Park.
For a woman her age she was pretty much very successful,her first movie debut which skyrocketed her to stardom was acted when she was just 19 and now at 25 she was one of the most famous actresses in the whole world.
And certainly not a fan of common people.
Adjusting her shades,she spotted a young girl walking a very little poodle that she found very cute and immediately wanted it for herself.
‘Hey little girl,how much do you want for the puppy?'.She asked and honey blonde turned around.
‘You almost sound like Candy Park'.
‘Well I'm not Candy Park or whatever,you selling the puppy or not?'.She replied but the young girl refused and walked away.
‘If it pleases you boss I can get you a poodle right away'.Her personal assistant,John suggested but she only eyed him dangerously.
‘Do I look like I need your help John?'.
‘No ma'am,sorry ma'am'.
‘Good,now i need to speak to Landon Mikaelson he's been avoiding my calls'.She said and opened her hands for her phone to be brought to her.
‘Haven't you heard the news ma'am?'.John stated.
‘What news? He's not dead is he?'.She asked feeling nauseated all of a sudden.
‘No ma'am he got married yesterday'.He replied and my mouth went agape.
‘What?!!'.
Lucas frowned deeply as Catherine forced him out of the car even though he just wanted to sleep,the weather was burning hot and they both received a message from Alice saying it was urgent.He shut the car door and kept on grumbling under his breath as Catherine opened her door with a key card only for them to meet Landon in the living room.‘What the f—'.‘Guess who's getting married......for the second time'.Alice said excitedly as she exposed the beautiful ring with a huge glistening diamond on it.Catherine shrieked for joy and launched herself at Landon who was lucky enough to catch her before she fell to the ground.She apologized about the Christmas dinner ordeal and he forgave her in a heartbeat.The doorbell rang and the rest of the family came in shortly,they also received the emergency message but seeing Landon paved way for the obvious c
TWO MONTHS LATERIt was a tough battle and since it was a long time the case of Madison O'Brien's murder was opened,the court battle was fierce and Luther's lawyer was one of the best people at his job in the country.However, Stacey's testimony pushed the investigators to look more into the case and they found more than enough evidence to put him behind bars for a long time.Other women who were victims of his abuse began to speak up and this led to another further investigation,his numerous clubs and hotels were just business cover-ups for his underground drug scale business where he dealt with cocaine.He was given a 25-year prison sentence and the rest of the O'Brien family were more than happy to see their son put behind bars when they heard about his crimes.Alice knew he was an addict and an abuser but she never really expected her ex-boyfriend, who she almos
A few minutes later Alice wakes up after Lucas Isplashed a little bit of water on her face, disheveled,still in denial of the truth revealed to minutes earlier,angry at how naive she had grown to be and afraid of what was to become.A little part of her still wanted to doubt Stacey's accusations towards her step-sister but it was all coming to place now—the bursts of anger,the coldness passing between the both of them,the huge amounts of money missing from the company's account that she didn't tell anyone else about except Kayla.It was all coming to place now.How did Kayla know she was doubting Landon about the whole secret admirer issue when she didn't even say anything??.‘Are you okay?'.Catherine asked as Alice rubbed a sore part of her neck in frustration.‘Y...yeah..uhhh...where... where is Stacey?'.Alice responded as she glanced around the room only to find Stac
Alice pretended to be asleep when she heard her door slowly creak open and heaved a sigh of relief when Catherine walked in with a perturbed look on her face.‘Is everything okay??'.She asked and Catherine gulped hard.‘I uhhhh....I uhhh....I think you should.....i think you should come outside someone wants to see you'.The quiver in her voice was enough proof to Alice that something was definitely wrong—she was tired—Landon was out of her life already and now there's another problem in her life to deal with.She reluctantly got out of the bed and went down the stairs only to find Stacey at the foot of it with her body shaking vigorously like she had the fever.‘Stacey??'.She called softly and Stacey flinched sharply as she turned around.‘Wh...what is...'’You have to help me,he's
FEW HOURS LATER....Alice blew her nose into the handkerchief handed over to her by Kayla,who was tired of keeping up with the supportive sister act.Landon was finally out of the way and Alice wasn't in the right state of mind which was a perfect opportunity to milk off her.‘I love that man Kayla and I....I can't believe I still do love him'.Alice cried out as she blew her nose again.‘He hurt you multiple times before Alice and he acted like he was a changed man......he isn't a changed man sis and it's time you move on from him'.Kayla muttered and then Willow started crying all of a sudden.Alice wasn't really in the mood but she picked her baby up anyway and patted her on the back so as to make her stop.The crying didn't stop and Kayla decided to take Willow outside for some fresh air just as Catherine walked in.‘Are you—'.‘
It probably wasn't a big deal but Alice still couldn't understand why Landon would hide the letter from his secret admirer—maybe she was overthinking it—maybe she wasn't—maybe she was having a hard time trusting the man she loved—maybe she was just scared of losing him.Well she why wouldn't she trust Landon.He did spend a lot of time redeeming himself and having fears over him cheating on her was beyond dumb.....it was also unacceptable as well.‘Don't ruin this Alice,don't f**king ruin this,you are finally with the man of your dreams and you are going to spend Christmas with him'.She whispered and took a deep breath before going outside.Landon was already asleep and she kissed him on the forehead right after she placed the card right back under his bed,he stirred a little bit but thankfully didn't wake up which was a relief.‘You know you could've
