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
Gasps, can be heard throughout the hall, the people look at the couple in the middle and they can’t help but gasps. Alexia’s eyes keep blinking hurriedly and her lips are opened slightly, Veronica is staring on and Cecelia continues crying but her clenched fist is obvious to all. No one knows what she is thinking about but they could witness her messy feelings. Alexia is about to speak but, Edward clears his throat, he puts his hands in his pocket and lowers his head. Then, he starts walking away, Alexia looks on dump founded. When he is several feet away, Cecelia mutters to Alexia’s hearing in a deep voice,“Don’t take what he said serious, he’s definitely drunk.”Alexia nods her head with a smile on her face and tries to her,“Don’t worry there’s no heart to take to. And since, there’s none, I can’t find forgiveness in it. Your trophy is leaving you behind, I advice you follow before someone else wins it.”Cecelia glances at her entire body before and rushes after him but her tight
Up till he entered the hall, no one has seen his face but Alexia and Veronica because of the hat covering his head and almost all his face but his lips. Everyone was both afraid and amused by his present, and so, they tried very much to contain their excitement but in the end, one of them spoke. This surprised Alexia but then, it didn’t to Jonas who has his head lowered. Alexia looks in his way and before he knew it, his hat is pulled off and a tap lands on his head. The people gasps and start muttering among themselves,“This Alexia, wants to die in the end right?” One says.“This guy is dangerous and I believe that, he won’t forgive her actions” Another adds on.“How atrocious, she should at least give him some respect. I wonder why someone who had hidden away from the peoples eye will suddenly appear because of Alexia? Unbelievable!!” Another one quips in.“Where are his guards? Why are they not arresting this despicable lady?!!” A young man stands up and shouts out.After they hav
Alexia glares at the man seated in front of her and shouts out,“You should have alerted me of your presence when I entered or opened up. Look how much you scared me. Who are you and what are you doing in here? I thought that this whole building has been booked? And what is with this television? Are you a VIP that mingle among the people?”After speaking, she sees that he is still quiet and the smile in his face hasn’t faded. She stares closer at him and thinks that,‘It seems that I have seen this man somewhere. Where could it be? He looks like… oh right!!’“You are Damon’s bodyguard, the one that I saw you with the last time. Why are you not out there with him?”The man finally looks down from her eyes and takes a glass of wine on the table beside him. He takes a sip from it lazily and crosses his leg and he looks up again but then he sees Alexia entering the washroom speaking to herself,“I wanted to speak with him but he won’t even say anything in reply. I should ease myself first
The entire guest exits the hall and Alexia stands up joining them, she doesn’t speak to neither Jonas or Veronica. They follow right after her but because if the number of people, they miss her. Jonas speaks to his guards to find her and take her to his car but no matter how much they search, she is nowhere to be found. Jonas takes Veronica’s hand and they both rush out of the hall with a premonition of what had happened when they attended a party together. They search the entire area and call her phone several times but she doesn’t pick up.Jonas calls her place and asks Joanna to keep watch of the place and in wait for her return. Several hours pass by and they had no idea where Alexia was. Her phone is finally switched off and they keep asking for her whereabouts in the streets and on the television but no one had seen her anywhere. It’s already in the morning and news about her is everywhere in the city and in the country as a whole but no one had seen her or spoken to her.Jonas
They arrive at the hall and rush out if the car, they are about to enter the hall when they see her walking out of the hall. She sees them and ignores them, she walks to the roadside and hail’s a taxi. They both look at each other in confusion but just when, she is about to board the car, they rush to her and pulls her out. She glares at them and pulls her hands from their grabs shouting out at them,“What is it? What do you think that you both are doing? I don’t want to speak to any of you. Do you mind leaving me alone?”They look at her feeling speechless but then, Veronica asks her,“What is going on with you? I don’t seem to understand anything. Whatever it is, come to my place first.”Alexia suddenly sneers and replies to her,“Your place? Have you gone there yet? It must be flooded by the press, so should be my place. Have you people even looked online? Have you both seen what those bed bites are talking about me?”They both shake their heads and pull out their phones but then,
The car zooms through the traffic like a flash of light. It pulls down slowly in front of a wall that seems to have no end to a vast of greens. It stretches on to the point that, when one stretches their neck, all they see is a green carpet of flowers and grass. The car moves on till it arrives in front of a gate, it stops and the driver looks back at the people in the back seat and he asks,“Shall I go on from here?”The young man in the back smirks and replies to him,“What? Do you want us to fly up the hill then?”He removes his phone from his pocket and dials a number, the person answers and he says rather calmly,“We are at the gate of your place, open up.”But then, the other person on the line replies to him,“You and who are coming here? If you are coming to my place, then, why do you need two cars? Who is in the taxi in front of you?”The young man looks back through the window and he finally notices that his car has followed him to the place. It made no sense to him since hi
Jonas ignores her question and walks ahead, followed by Veronica, the lady keeps staring at Alexia to move but when she sees that she is in her thoughts, she calls to her again,“Young miss, can we join them inside? Everyone is waiting for you inside.”Alexia sighs and is about to speak but she swallows her words and walks ahead of her to the door. And she says to herself,“Whatever that, I am confused about, I guess that, I will find out what is it after going in here. I hope they didn’t betray me and I have been thinking wrongly.”She takes a step inside and stops, she looks around and then sighs before walking ahead. The lady dressed in the cook’s uniform sighs and shakes her head and then whispers to herself,“Like mother like daughter, she also have trust issues. I can’t believe she is fighting her own brother.”They walk through the white corridor and she enters a shining room with king like decorations of the hall. She looks up and see the golden chandelier that have shining cr
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
