FlashbackShe is busily cooking breakfast for herself with the lady guard helping her out. She whistles while she cooks and head bends down and up. Leo and Jacob are sitting on the dinning table with fork and knife in their hands. They have a look of dismay on their faces with their fallen eyes and wrinkled faces. Alexia goes to the dinning area with two plates of food in her hands. She doesn’t put them in front of them but puts them beside them. They look in the way of the good smelling food and their throats roll up, they swallow saliva and gazes at them.Alexia laughs out and says glaring at them,“First day at work and you have failed me. I can’t believe that you allowed something like this to slip from your sights. You should thank your stars that, I am not in the mood for torturing.”She goes back into the kitchen and Jacob whispers in the hearing of Leo,“If it wasn’t today, I doubted that she was the master’s sister. Because, she looked so weak, contrasting the strength of the
The press quickly raise their cameras, some flashes some pictures and some start recording. Alexia forces a smile and looks at the lady that asked her the question and she says to her,“I would like to hear what you said again. We don’t want to make mistakes, do we?”The press look at the journalist and she nods her head and repeats the same question,“Why are you so wicked to break the backs of two young men? Are you really the devil that they are talking about?”Alexia’s eyes drop slightly but she looks up at them and she replies,“Wasn’t it, a few days back that you called me, the angel in the dress? Before that, weren’t you the ones that called me a cunning woman that plotted the rape of her husband’s mistress? Again, after, I defended myself and revealed the true face of the mistress, what did you call me? A maltreated in-law.”She looks in the other way to clear her tears and she swallows, and she looks back at them and continues,“Now, you call me the devil? Which of us knows m
In his office, he is looking intently in the window, his hands are in pockets. Even though the sun is directly landing on his muscular face, he doesn’t seem to feel the heat. His face has no expression but his eyes tells it all, the pain in his eyes are showing to the extent that even his blue iris has a red color on it. He hears his phone ringing and he doesn’t move in the first ring, the second ring, he turns to the table looking annoyed, he sees the caller and he looks at it closely not knowing to answer or deny it.He ends up answering the call and the person on the other end shouts and narrates as soon as he sees it answered,“Edward, have you realized that the woman you brought into this house, is continuously rubbing our family name in the mud? How dare she bully people in the open? I always thought that, she was calm and followed the family rules. Even, I don’t bully people in the open but she dares to? What does she think she is?”Edward sighs and holds his forehead and he re
He walks into the huge building, on top of it is, the branded name A and J. He us dressed in joggers with it’s coat and Nike sneakers on his feet, he has a cap on his head but the shining golden wrist watch contrast with his simple outfit. After, entering the building, he looks side by side and tilts his white cap down. It seems that, he doesn’t want to be seen by the people around. He rushes into the elevator and he presses on one. The young man beside him looks at him with weird eyes, it seems he didn’t notice the young man before and so, he clears his throat and says to him,“Do you mind letting me use the elevator alone? I want to go to the first floor and you can’t go up there with me.”The young man’s eyes grow wide open and he mutters to himself but to the hearing of the man,“How can a nicely dressed man, young man, like this, be out of his mind? This world is full of confusion.”The young man dressed in joggers smiles in his way as the door closes in front of both of them. Th
She is laying on the bed and continuously scrolling and pressing on her phone. She keeps tossing on her bed and she get up and sit down at a point, another time, she will be walking. She throws herself back on the bed and she shouts,“Oh gosh, I feel so lazy and lonely. Where is Veronica at this point in time? It seems that, she has vanished from my presence for a while now. Oh no, I am really a bad friend for forgetting to call my girl, she must be very lonely.”She picks up, her phone and dials a number, the phone rings on three times and she doesn’t answer. Alexia gets up and rushes to her, walk in wardrobe and picks a dress. She removes her pajamas and quickly dresses up. Her mind in scatters as she thinks of several possibilities of what could make her friend not to answer her call.She rushes out of the building and she see her range Rover, she looks around and shouts,“Where are you guys, now that I need you? Damn it, I shouldn’t have allowed them to go out for fun.”She rushes
She walks to her and helps her to her bed, they both sit down and she puts her head on her shoulder muttering,“My savior, did you just save me from a thief?”Alexia sighs and responds to her,“No, I just saved you from getting raped and duped? Why are you doing this to yourself this early evening? What’s wrong with you, my dear?”Veronica smiles and shakes her head and then, she says to her,“Nothing is going on. I just feel stupid for feeling this way for him. Even though he doesn’t look in my way twice in a second or thirty. I should get rid of this feeling but…”She takes Alexia’s face in her palms and pouts breathing out alcohol, even so, Alexia doesn’t pull away but she also holds her head and they both stare in others eyes and she continues saying,“But, no matter what I do, I gave him on my mind. What do I do? Where do I go? Alexia you called me sister right? Can you get rid of this strange feeling from my heart? Can you believe that, I just met him? It was love at first sight
Her phone suddenly starts ringing and they both look in it’s way. She is about to go for it but she rushes to her and holds her hand. And she whispers to her,“It’s an unknown number, what if it is the hotel calling? What if that bastard is looking for me? What have I done to myself?”The call ends and she melts to the floor, her eyes looking lifeless and her body without any strength. Alexia shakes her head and takes her hand with a smile on her face and she pays her head and then says to her,“Stop been so dramatic, what if it never happened?”She raises her body slowly from the ground and tears merge in her eyes. Alexia sees this and hurriedly joins her on the floor and cuddles her. She pays her back slowly and whisper’s to her,“I was only teasing you, why are you tearing up. I am sorry I didn’t mean to make you cry. Please stop crying.”Veronica shakes her head and sniffs and she replies to her in a hoarse voice,“No, you are not wrong. It indeed happened and I think, I was willi
They drove to the mall and parked at the parking area. There are several people in the mall because, it’s on the weekend. They are both dressed in a sling hand shirt and jeans with sneakers. Their hair are held in ponytails and they walk into the mall with smiles on their face, they glance at each other and Alexia says to Veronica,“When was the last time we squandered money on shopping?”Veronica tilts her head to the side and she says with a smile,When we were poor and wanting, but now that we are rich, what are we going to do?“Let’s throw it away then!! Alexia shouts in response.”Through the crowd, Edward spots Alexia, who was next to Veronica. She was no longer as gentle and lovely as she used to be. She had no make up on her face but it looked gorgeous and bright,She was lowering her head and chatting who-knows-what with the friend beside her, a candid smile on her face.Alexia looked up when she noticed his gaze. He was standing on the first floor and tilting on the banister
