Chapter 9: Revelatory Night

Me and John represented our companies together on the stage and got greetings from all the guests who were present at the ceremony. When I returned to my table, Alexander was sitting at my seat staring and smiling at me, his date was nowhere to be seen while Jan was throwing daggers at him through his eyes.

“Alexander.” I acknowledged him and he stood up gracefully.

“Isabella, can I have you for a moment please?” He requested and I was astounded to the core because he’s not the person who adds ‘please’ in his statements. I nodded in agreement and Jan looked at me with shock.

“I’ll be right back, don’t worry!” I assured him lightly and he smiled forcibly at me in return. Alexander and I walked ourselves to the far end of the hall where no one was present and then he caged me, between him & the wall.

“Alexander, what are you doing?” I asked him with panic and he gave me his breathtaking smile.

“You don’t know how much I want you all to myself!” He leaned in and whispered in my ear.
