He watches the taxi drive away and he looks back at his hand that she slapped away. He smirks and whisper’s to himself,“She has really become bold. How is it possible for a person to change in a few months that they only look similar in body?”The people around saw their interaction and because of the earlier show, she has become a hit gossip and so, why not add more if there’s? Chris looks around and sees the people busily texting away and he sighs and tuts then he says to himself,“I just became a topic of humiliation from the angel in a dress. I should be careful around her.”In the taxi, they are both staring at her while she has a blank face. She is looking straight forward and seated upright but her clenched fist contrast her expression. Christine holds her fist and sighs and then she says to her,“We know all that had happened to you in the few years that we’ve been apart. You shouldn’t be worried about explaining anything to us.”She looks in the way of her and shakes her hea
The sun shines right through the curtains and slaps her eyes, she winces and furrows her eyes and brows and she covers her eyes with the back of her hand. She moves up body slowly and stretches her body, she looks out in the way of sunlight and a smile appears on her face as she thinks,‘It’s a brand new day and I am finally going to get my own place. Or, should I go to Veronica’s place? No, she needs her own life.’She gets out of bed and goes to the washroom, she stands in front of the door and looks at the jacuzzi and the bathroom that looks like someone’s room and she tilts her head to the side and touches her cheek and says,“Or, should I just forget about leaving the palace? Well, it might be my destiny to fight for things for myself.”In thirty minutes, she is dressed in a white shirt and a trousers on her feet is a high heel and her hair is tied in a ponytail. She stands in front of the wall mirror and watches herself, she sighs and says to herself,“You only got the chance to
She shakes her head quickly but then, she stops and walks a step towards him, he pulls his head back into the car thinking that, she might be coming to him. He waits in a few seconds and realizes that she hasn’t come in his sight and he pulls his head out once again. He sees that she is standing by looking at her watch and tapping her foot loudly on the floor. He looks at her, his face flashed with a tiny smile and amusement, his cheeks dip in displaying dimples in both cheeks. He looks her up and down for a second and he gives in and asks,“Are you not joining us? I offered to drop you.”Alexia gives him a fake smile her cheeks raising and wrinkling under her eyes. She finally speaks to him,“ am sorry, but I don’t drive with strangers. I am trying to catch a taxi from here.”He pulls his head back in and Alexia sighs thinking he has finally given in but then, in a second, he pushes his head back out and says to her hearing,“It bothers me that a pretty lady like you will be late for
I stood by the counter several minutes but no one was appearing from the elevator as they promised. The receptionist keeps glancing at me in very few seconds and the people around were now staring without any sense of shame. I heard two ladies whispering to each to other,“I never thought, I would see her dressed so decently in real life. She looked like a pro on that stage.”Yes, I was thinking she dressed in a dress, every other day of her life, make on and hair let down to her body.” The second lady adds on, her eyes trying not to look directly at Alexia.“Okay, it’s enough, I think she hears what we are saying.” The first lady interferes.“And so, what? We are not ditching her or making up stories. Are we not just admiring her sense of beauty even in change of clothes?” the second lady argues with a serious expression.“You are right.” The first lady complies.Alexia removes her spectacle and smiles in their way, they nod their heads and quickly walk away. She sighs and look at th
It’s 9pm, and she drives and stops in front of the hotel, she looks up and she drops her head and looks at the watch on her hand. She looks up again and looks away and then she thinks,“This place only has bad memories and I hate been here. Should I just go back home?”She sighs and is about to drive away when she hears a knock on the car window. She winds it down and she sees him staring at her and then he asks, his eyebrows raised,“Aren’t you coming in? I just got here and I saw your car parked here but instead of coming out, you’ve and in there for a while. Is there a problem?”She shakes her head and gives him a tiny smile. She gets out and walks towards him. They both walk in together, they arrive at the room and they walk in, Alexia follows him in. She looks around and sees several men in different suits and she takes the last seat. Just as she is about to sit down, she sees a familiar face and her butts hang in the air for a few seconds. Her brows are raised and her hands are
Everyone look in the way of the two people, they are looking in each other’s eyes. Alexia sighs and looks away and says to them,“If we are done here, I would like to excuse myself.”Aaron sneers and thinks,“I wanted to bring her here, so she can know her place. But I don’t know if I did the right thing, she doesn’t seem to be bothered about the powerful atmosphere.”She looks at Aaron who is busily thinking and she takes her bag and moves away from the chair. She bows down slightly and walks out of the room. They move their heads closer to whisper behind her but she turns and catches them in the act and she says,“I will be leaving first. Nothing about me stays here. I don’t want to think about what you will say behind my back”They move away from each and she smiles and exist the room. Right behind the door, she leans on the wall and touches her chest, it rises and falls several times before a smile appears on her face and she whispers to herself,“I won, no one will look down on m
Edward drives his Audi R8 out of the parking area. He drives through the night skipping the traffic lights, he arrives at his house and slams the door loudly. An old man meets him halfway through and says to him,“The master would like to meet you in his office. Welcome home Sir.”Edward throws the car keys into his hands and walks through the door, the old man stares at his back and says to himself,“Who has angered the young master so much? He shouldn’t see the old master in this temperament. Considering what, he is about to tell him.”Edward walks towards the four and opens it without knocking. The old man pushes his drawer in quickly and he looks at Edward who has a blank expression on his face but his body is radiating a sense of war. He shakes his head and asks,“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so irritated?”Edward shakes his head and walks towards the couch in the office. He sits down on it and speaks in a deep voice,“Say, why you called. I need to get some rest.”“Low
They are both standing in front of a door in the long corridor. She looks around and jumps up into his embrace, he moves his hand to hug her back but she pulls back quickly and turns the handle of the door. It doesn’t open and she looks back at him, he shakes his head with a smile on his face and he says to her,“You will need your fingerprint to go in.”She laughs out and puts her thumb on the security lock. The door clicks open and she rushes into the room. It’s a spacious room, she looks around and sees the huge hall that can fit three bedrooms. Everywhere is painted white including the decorations, she sees the huge couches that look like someone’s bed and she rushes to it. Alexia throws herself on the white sofa that has a glass as it’s stand and she looks up. She sees herself in the mirror ceiling and she stands up abruptly and looks in Jonas’ way and say to him with a pleased expression,“You are really spoiling me too much. How can one person stay in this huge house? Don’t you
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
