Alexia looks at the huge building in front of her and looks back at him confused, he other the other hand has a huge smile on his face and he holds on to her hand. The gazes of the people around look at them blankly. Those in the building stop their business and stare at the couple-looking people in front of them and the ones passing by can not help but stare too. When they walk up the walkway hand in hand, some of the people take out their phones and start taking pictures. Jonas doesn’t stop them, but he removes his yellow-colored hat and puts it on her head.He shakes his head and laughs out saying,“Lexie, nothing can hide your beauty from the world and nothing hinders it. You are just a goddess just as they all say.”Alexia sighs and finally inquires,“Brother, what are we doing here? Shouldn’t I be going to work?; I wouldn’t want to be late on my first day in. Otherwise, the employees might think I am arrogant and that’s the reason I am arriving any time I want.”He laughs out an
They alight the car and she looks at the company on their opposite. Alexia watches the people go in and out of the building, she catches a glimpse of a familiar face, and just as she is about to look closely, Jonas holds her hand and pulls her from the roadside. She sighs and recalls something,She was dressed in a white jumpsuit and sneakers. She had pulled her hair in a ponytail and had in her hand a food basket, she arrives in front of the company driving in her old Corollaa. When she arrives at the gate, the security man looks her up and down and she smiles at him. She walks to the receptionist and says to her,“I am here to see Edward.”The receptionist gazes at her and she suddenly frowns and inquires,“Which Edward are you looking for? There are four to five Edwards in this company and I can’t think of any of them that you could probably see.”Alexia sighs and with a smile apologies and response,“Oh, right, I am sorry, I should have been specific. I am here to see the CEO, Edw
In the office, he is walking from one point to another. He would come to look on the desktop once in a while. Two young men are sitting on the couch in the middle of the room and front of them are two laptops sitting on the table in front of them. He lights up a cigarette and the smoke moves slowly in his mouth. He sighs and looks back and asks,“When will you be able to put down that news? I thought you were experts.”One of the men sighs and responds to him while he is continuously typing on the keyboard,“Sir, it isn’t as easy we thought it was. Someone seems to be holding on to this news, all the news papers are excited about this news and people are busily viewing it. This is making it difficult as someone keeps publishing it to blogs and browsers. Whoever is doing this can somehow one-day control all the systems in this country.”He stops and looks up at him and continues,“Mr. Edward, whoever is doing this is dangerous and I don’t know why the national security system is not do
Alexia rushes out of the building and boards a taxi. The driver drives and stops in front of a hotel and sge alights. In a few minutes, she exist the elevator and walks majestically in the corridor. In her hand is a room key that, she is swinging in her hand and smiling. She arrives in front of a room and unlocks the door. The room is dark with no source of light, she makes out a figure on the bed and two on the couch on the side. Alexia sighs when she recalls the bad moments in that very room, her depressed expression disappears replaced with a wide smile when she hears a grant coming from the bed.She steps into the room and switches on the light. On the bed, her eyes are wide open along with her eyes. Her lips are sealed and her hands are tied in front of her, her legs are also tied with a robe. The red marks on her hands and feet shoes that, she had tried to release herself several times. She is dressed in a short sleeve knee length flare dress. It is blue in color and her lips ha
A black Benz stops in front of the hotel and two men, come out of it. They both look up at the hotel and look back at a signal on a phone showing red and green. The one dressed in a white suit them asks,“Ed, why is your phone showing two signals? Which one is Cecelia and which one is the other?”Edward frowns and creases his brows then he asks to no one in particular,“Why are they both here? And in the same room?”A scene passes through his eyes and he looks at the guy with him with his eyes wide opened and he starts rushing into the building. The guy in white looks at his retrieving figure as if he is watching a horror movie and he says to himself,“What could it be for that imperturbable person to be perturbed? Am I living to see this day or am I a ghost now?”She shakes his head and rushes behind him, the elevator is about to close with Edward inside that he barely made it inside. He breaths tiredly and he finds it hard to talk but he manages to say,“You just made me run five hu
They take her to the hospital and the doctors rush to attend to her. As soon as, her back touches the hospital bed, he leaves her body and moves back. She stretches her hand to hold on to him but the doctor beside her takes it and administers a syringe in her shoulder. Her eyes drop low and he leaves the room. Chris follows right after him as he hurries out of the hospital, he lights cigarette and draws the smoke in before pushing it out of his mouth. Chris reaches him and says to him,“I actually thought that you wanted to leave her behind. By the way, why did you bring her to the hospital? You could have taken her to a room and healed her of her sickness.”Edward hums silently and speaks,“Don’t say foolish things that will merit you a good beating.”“I dare not, but it seems your ex wife can. Imagine her do this to your lover? Does she want to die early? But she seems to have changed a lot. That little meek cat has turned into a roaring lion. What are you going to do about her?”Ed
They are sitting in the dinning area and having breakfast, she is holding the spoon in her hand and her head and laid in her palm. Her face gas a blank expression and she keeps stabbing the good on the plate with the spoon. Jonas glances at him once in a while to see her acting in the same way and only picking tiny bits of the food in her mouth. He sighs and throws his spoon into the bowl of porridge in front of him. She moves up in fright and she realizes what actually scared her, she glares at him and he glares back at her and he says to her, his hands clenched and his face a little wrinkled,“Why are you looking so bothered? What is happening with you that I don’t know?”She sighs and shakes her head slowly, Jonas glares at her harder and he stands up abruptly from his chair. It falls back to the floor, Alexia gets startled once again and she stands up along with him. Jonas smirks and he speaks in a deep and painful voice,“Alexia, don’t let me think that you still love that bastar
Alexia’s heart skip a beat and she finally let’s her shoulder down. She looks down and drops her head slightly and she moves a feet forward. But then, she hears other feet’s move forward from the far end of the line and she glances in their way. She makes out two ladies and she looks in their way her left cheek raised along with a lips, her eyes turn in their and she turns her head and says to herself,“Aren’t I the last person, who entered? They should have joined me here if they were last right? Unless,…”She stretches her head and looks at the other end of the door and she sees another door there. She finally nods her head in understanding and she tries to move back in but she hears him say,“The last three will perform on the show tonight. But, if you make any mistakes, don’t look back in here. There won’t be any space for you.”Alexia sighs and her heartbeat accelerates and she thinks, her head and eyes moving to side by side,“How can I lead a show on my first day? I haven’t don
Not only the guests, even Damon and Edward were shocked. The other man went to Veronica and slid the wedding ring on her hand, she looked at the host and took the male wedding ring and slid it on his as well.Alexia didn't expect that Damon would come on stage. Days prior, she had told him not to act impulsively on the wedding day, but she didn't expect that Damon would still rush up.This was between her and the Franks family. Alexia didn't want to get Damon involved.Seeing him on the stage, Alexia called out to him in the chaos. "Damon."Her voice wasn't loud. The wedding that day was grand, but Alexia was standing under the stage. Before she even said a word, Damon had already seen her.Alexia was wearing a plain long dress that day. Her hair was tied up and she wore a pair of sunglasses.It was no wonder that no one noticed that Alexia was under the stage. Dressed like this, most of the guests thought that she was some celebrity.Damon quickly came to his senses. He turned around
The groom got ready much faster than the bride. After Edward finished his makeup, he went out to welcome the guests with Master Franks.When the guests saw Edward, although his expression was still as cold as ice, when they looked at him, it was obvious that he was in a good mood this day.At half past six, the wedding began as scheduled.As the groom, Edward was already backstage.After the host gave the opening speech, Edward was invited to the stage to share his love story.But everyone knew that Mr. Bo had always been a quiet and indifferent person. At first, the host was a little worried that Edward wouldn't answer at all.It turned out that he had worried for nothing.Although Edward's answer was not very exciting, it was still an answer."Mr. Frank, before I welcome the bride, I want to ask you a few questions first. I believe that everyone here is as curious as I am."As we all know, you and the bride have been married once. What exactly is the purpose of your marriage this ti
......Edward really didn't want to care about this wedding, because he clearly knew that this wedding was just for show.Be it him or Alexia, they were all tools for Master Franks to boost his reputation in exchange for benefits.It just so happened that he liked Alexia and wanted to remarry him, so he didn't say much.However, Master Franks' words changed Edward's mind.Did Alexia really go back to her parents in person the previous day just to persuade Mr. Ferrero to agree to the wedding?He thought of what happened that night. She was cold towards him as ever, as if she didn't want to get married to him at all.Edward had been feeling conflicted over the past few days. He even wanted to ask Alexia to call off the wedding.However, every time he felt the urge to do so, he couldn't help but look at Alexia's old messages telling him how much she loved him.Edward felt as if he had been trapped in a ball played on the field. He couldn't escape, nor did he know how.But now, he no long
He was taken aback by Alexia's question. Then he smiled and said, "Why? Do you think you've seen me before?""When I was 15, I passed out in an alley filled with gangsters from other universities. Before I lost consciousness, I faintly felt that a boy picked me up and sent me to the hospital."At this point, Alexia paused for a moment. "After I woke up, I only saw my parents beside my bed. But the uniform that the boy covered me with when he sent me to the hospital was still on me. There was a school tag inside, which said 'Edward'. I thought that the person who saved me was Edward. Eventually, I fell in love with him.""I've always thought that Edward was actually a gentle person. He's just cold on the outside but soft on the inside. But ever since that incident, I've never seen his gentle side again.""In the past few months, being with you has given me a feeling that I mistook the boy for someone else. You saved me, didn't you?"She didn't fall in love with Edward at first sight. S
Damon handed a suitcase to me and said. I lowered her head and looked at it. I was a little confused. And so, I asked, "What's this?""It's a money gift."Then, he placed the suitcase in my hands.Damon then loosened his grip. I felt the weight, so I subconsciously held the suitcase tightly and said, "What money gift?''Why are you giving me this for no reason at all?"Halfway through the sentence, I came to her senses. My heart beat faster as I asked, "Did Edward tell you?"There was no smile on his face and only darkness in his eyes. "Hmm."He answered and turned to leave.He walked very slowly, as if he was struggling with every step, but also as if he was waiting for something.I watched and felt that my eyes were burning. Before I could react, I had already opened my mouth. I called out to him subconsciously, "Damon."Hearing my voice, the man who had already walked to the corner stopped.For the first time, he didn't look back at me. He just turned his back to me and said, "If y
We were about to go home when we encountered three thugs. We walked to the car and saw them smoking by it. Damon wanted to move it and so, he approached them and said to themDo you mind moving from the car?But then it seemed that they had met bad company, one of them stepped forward and said to him,Dare to make us leave? I want to lean on your car for a moment. Dare you make me angry and you will go home with your balls in your hands.I realized that Damon was getting irritated and he wasn’t the only one. And so, I moved closer to him and said to him,Let’s not cause any commotion and leave from here.The other two looked at me and whistled and then said,You’ve gotten the hottest harlot for the night, do you mind borrowing her to us? We will…Before he could finish his words, they heard a bone crack and they saw Damon’s fist on the speaker’s cheek.And that was how it all began, three to one, I just couldn’t stand by and so, I joined him.Thirty minutes later, the police arrived a
I was in my office after returning from the dinner when Joanna presented a file to me. She said it concerned Charlotte who I thought I was done with. I wondered what that information was and so I looked through it. When I was done, I chuckled and said, "No wonder."No wonder Joanna couldn't find out anything about Charlotte connected to the Franks. It turned out that Edward had sent someone to clean up her mess.In the past few months, Edward's men had been watching Joanna's men.However, a few days ago, I had told Joanna not to look into Charlotte anymore. Edward's men probably thought that they finally stopped investigating. They didn't expect that Joanna would come back and find out about them.In my opinion, no matter how bad Edward was, he would never do such a shameless thing.However, it turned out that I didn't really know him.I had been hesitating about the wedding, but after finding out about this, I was clear about her decision.It was all thanks to Joanna that I found out
I made sure to take my time in the office, in fact I wanted to finish the day’s work before seeing him. But I thought about it that he might be feeling sore over for sitting at one place for two hours. My worry wasn’t on that one, he could fake collapsing and I didn’t want people talking about company with the Franks name attached and so I had to see him.I walked in with a faint smile on her face.Master Franks glanced at me and sat up on the chair. He then said with a pretentious smile which was very obvious. "Miss Alexia, you've been busy."I pretended that I couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in his words. And replied to him,"You're too kind, Master Franks. I've just taken over a project in another city, and I have a lot of things to do."I realized that talking to me was only pissing him off, so Master Franks decided not to argue with her. "Miss Alexia, you've worked hard. Shall we talk over lunch?""Okay."I responded and then led him out.As soon as they arrived, the dishes wer
Damon’s conclusion wasn’t his only, I knew that could happen. Jane had been punished by her family and so, without their permission, she couldn’t have attempted to hurt me once again. That family was that corrupt that, they didn’t mind using the only daughter of the family to commit bad deeds.I had had it to my neck and I couldn’t take it anymore, I had to do something which would put the franks family back in its place, off my back.I didn’t know what that could be but I began thinking about it when he visited once again. Damon had left and I was indoors browsing through the news about my so called pregnancy when I heard my door bell. I stood up and went to open up and there he was. I looked at him and thought of the information online and then asked him,“Are you here to verify that I am pregnant? If so, you should know that even if I am, you are not the father right?”Edward sighed before he replied to me, “It isn’t the reason that I am here. And I am sure that that you are not pr
