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
Alexia had come to mall to diffuse some of the fuse moving in her friends head. She thought that, she had too much drinks and she was a workaholic who would only go to work and back home. And so, when she found her drunk and with an escort, she thought that her friend was no longer the person she knew and maybe because of too much work, she was feeling stressful but then, she found out something else. Which demanded the mind to be peaceful and busy thinking about meager things. Because they wanted to run away from the are truth that they both didn’t want to accept.But who would have thought that they wanted to jump from the flying pan but landed in the fire? Right in front of her, Jane walked towards them along with her friends. And she inquires pointing her finger at her with an angry face,“Alexia, why are you here?”Alexia drops the clothes on her hand and she pulls another one and takes a look at it intently. She lowers her eyes and says through a smile, “Well, why can’t I?”Alex
Alexia glanced at Jane and calmly took out another card from her bag. This time, it’s a green card, the guards take a look at each other and they shake their heads. She sees this and says to them,“My name is Alexia Rivas. Could you please take a look at the name on it?”Jane sneers and snatches the card away. From her hand and she says to her, “Who are you fooling around with? This card is probably fake! Who doesn’t know your identity, Alexia? What right do you have to appear in such a high end store after leaving our family?”“Do I have no right?” Alexia tilts her head to the side and asked.Her words had pushed Alexia’s calm buttons. She snorted and looked at the people behind Jane who came over after hearing the commotion. She notices Chris among the crowd with his hands on his chest, watching the scene. She suddenly smiles and says to Jane,“Miss Jane, why don’t you ask Mr. Chris, here, if I have the right?”Moving towards the scene, Chris passes through the crowd now noticing th
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
