Her eyes flutter several times and she gazes at him. Her eyes moves on his body and she raises her eyebrows and asks him,“What about you? What do you think is so special about you that you were hired for this position even after the company is bought from your family? Don’t irritate me, bro, or you will get it bitter from me.”He raises his arms and shakes his head and then speaks,“I meant, no harm. But, I keep wondering about who you actually are because, you don’t cease to surprise the society. And that includes me, I believe several people out there are thinking of the same questions. With the intention of asking you, if they get an air called a chance. By the way, you were invited as the guest of honor of the program and our company is taking care of everything in the event.”Alexia takes a magazine on the table and she sees the next magazine has her bold picture on the front page. Her name is written in bold letters and under it is written,“Alexia, the most sought after divorc
Flashing lights and glittery dresses, handmade clothes and suits are seen everywhere. The women have made up and they are looking like goddesses and the men are dressed up in the most expensive clothes they can afford. It seems like a war among the people around, and the war is based on who would be the most well dressed. Most of the people in the great hall of excellence have common words in their speech and that is,Alexia or Damon.Yet the two most spoken about are nowhere to be seen. There are four huge chairs, made in a king like way and adorned with golden paint. The people can not keep their eyes from these chairs and they can not help but wonder the reason for these four mighty chairs that seems to belong to four prominent people. And the guests of honor, nothing could come into their mind and they couldn’t make out the four people. This event is live everywhere and people across the world are watching the show and that includes, Alexia.She is sitting in the middle of the hal
He stood right in front of her and she looks at him as his eyes dart everywhere around her body. And she stares on until, he swallows and finally look her in the eyes. She looks shocked as her hand holding the door shake slightly along with her heaping chest. He opens his mouth to speak but closes it again and he stretches his hand towards her. She looks down at his skinny body in the suit that he is wearing and she couldn’t help herself but wonder, what could be bothering him so much to make a string person this thin in a few days. While she is thinking, she sees his hand coming towards her and, as if breaking from a spell, she moves back hurriedly and sighs while closing her eyes before speaking,“What are you doing here? Who are you in the first place?”She darts her head to look behind him and she looks back at him and asks,“Who is chasing you, and what made you think that, this is the right place to hide?”His hand fall to his side and his head bows slightly, he sighs heavily an
Several minutes past when, she sees the message tick two but the receiver has viewed the message and so, she sighs and drops her hand but then, she thinks again,‘What am I even doing? Do I want to be his friend? I shouldn’t show my concern to him if I want to stay away from him at the same time.’In the end, she looks at the message and deletes it. She sighs and throws the phone to the bed and then, she hears her doorbell ringing again. She stills and says to herself,“He shouldn’t have returned because of my message right? Could it be that, he has already seen the text?”She walks to her door but then, stops and walks back into the room, she walks around messing her hair and then, she hears the doorbell once again. Her heart keeps skipping and she walks around feeling restless before she hears her phone ringing. He looks at it’s screen and sees that, it is Veronica calling, she picks it up and all she hears is a loud voice,“Are you going to keep being in there? What the hell are yo
Those that heard her quiet down and the rest follow suit, they seem amazed by her utterance as no one expected her to speak. She glares at them for a second but it changes into a smile and she speaks to them,“You might have several questions to ask me. But do you think that I am the right person to ask these questions to when I haven’t said anything about the scandal going on? Which of you have sighted me ever since this thing began? While you were busy making news of me, I was busy living my life comfortably and had no idea what was going on. I hope this will answer most of your questions.”She takes a step forward and they pave way for her, all eyes stare blankly at her. Everyone of them with a different mindset about her. When she walks through them, Veronica follows right after her, her hands opened as she tries to guide her. Right up the stairs, he stands staring down at her, a flower in his hand and an intense gaze directing to Alexia.Her eyes meet his and her feet stills. Ver
As she sits in the crowd, she realizes that almost every one in the room is looking in her way. Veronica sees the people looking in their way as well. She taps Alexia’s shoulder and she looks in her way taking her eyes from her phone. Veronica looks at what she is watching on the screen and it is none other but the picture of Edward and Cecelia taken in front of the hotel, as the walk hand in hand into the hotel. Veronica looks at Alexia’s face and sees her looking expressionless contrasting her clenched fist on her side. She shakes her head and says to Alexia,“You better control your feelings tonight. I know you haven’t seen that bit*h since their engagement but you will have to put up a fight and do not let them affect your comportment.”Alexia shuts the screen of the phone with a sneaky smile on her face and she responds to Veronica,“I am not here for them and I don’t plan to give them an eye tonight. That is if they are able to stay away from me. Whatever that is going on in her
Alexia knits her eyebrows in confusion and she looks around to see if there’s any one looking usually at her but then, she finds everyone that can see her look in her way. And on the platform, a huge television displaying her on it, on it, written, live. She sighs and looks in the way of the cameras and she asks,“Why are you doing this? Who are you? Why are you hiding behind the scenes and making me feel uncomfortable in the name of celebrating me?”When she is done speaking, Damon moves his hand to his left year and he nods his head. He looks at Alexia and he asks her,“He would like to ask, how do you want the party to be handled without feeling uncomfortable?”“And where the hell is this person? Because, I can very much believe that this person is watching me right? I will give him sometime to appear, if not in the midst of everyone, he should meet me somewhere else.”Damon nods his head and says to her,“He says,’ your will is my command my princess, but I hope that you are well
The people are seated in the big hall, everyone has their eyes on the gate way waiting for whoever is about to enter the room. After several minutes, no one enters rather, they hear footsteps of a shoe and heels, most of the people turn to look on the way of the people existing the hall. And it is none other but Edward and Cecelia, Edward is walking fast ahead and Cecelia is almost trotting after him. Cecelia realizes the eyes on her and she stops walking, her phone beeps and she looks down on it to see a message reading,“Take this opportunity to apologize to her, and she would forgive you. After all, you are in the midst of several people.”After she finishes reading, she looks up and sighs and she looks in the way of Alexia, who still has her eyes on the doorway. And she starts walking to her, Edward realizes the turn of footsteps and he stops and looks back to see her walking away from him. He directs his eyes in the way that she is walking and recognizes her intention of going to
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
