As soon as Alexia and her family left, Master Franks raises his hand and throw the teacup on the coffee table to the ground.Bang!!The top-quality porcelain teacup falls to the ground and broke into pieces. Jane subconsciously shrank back and Cecelia stands up on her feet. Looking at the expression on master Franks face, she knew it was all over for her.“What on earth is going on? Why did Alexia suddenly become Mr. Ferrero Marcel’s daughter?”Jane curls her lips. And directs her chin in Edward’s direction saying,“Who knows? Didn’t Edward say that she was just an ordinary girl?”“Shut up! I’ll settle this with you later!”Master Franks became frustrated, he had lived for 70 to 80 years. It was the first time that he had been so humiliated. However, he had no way to reclaim this.After scolding Jane, Master Franks looks at Edward, his eyes shrinking and opening with different thoughts in his mind asks. “Did she ever tell you that she’s Mr. Ferrero's daughter?”Edward glances at the o
On the other side, after Alexia left the Franks house with her parents, they arrived at a hotel. As soon as they entered the door, they met several familiar faces. Lydia has a good relationship with Cecelia because of Jane and she had helped spread the news that Alexia was being kept as a mistress. It was the reason why the entire City knew of Alexia’s mistress status.In the four years of her marriage, every time Lydia returned to the Franks family, she would inevitably treat Alexia with sarcasm. If she went too far, she would frame Alexia all because she knew her best friend loved the man married to Alexia. It was the little she could do.It could be said that Lydia had always been living in the days when she and Jane were bullying Alexia.Not long ago, Lydia and Jane had been thoroughly humiliated in the when she had gone shopping with her for her birthday, because of Alexia. Lydia had always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. Meeting Alexia had provided her with an opp
The family of three walk into a room wanting to enjoy some private time, in fact they could go back to their house and talk with Alexia but they felt she looked too estranged over there alone with them. They wanted her to be comfortable with them and maybe a place anyone could visit could be the place. They sit in the room and start making discussions. It is as if Mrs. Ferrero was just remembering something as she asks “Was the daughter of Mr. Bright very close with Jane Franks?”Alexia who was making tea, paused and glanced at Mrs. Ferrero, “ mom?”“Humph, don’t think I don’t know that they have ganged up to bully you.” She replies looking away from her.Although they had stayed away over the past years, ever since they found out about her identity, they knew every step of her. It wasn’t that they didn’t care about Alexia at all, they had their reasons but now, they were regretting it. Maybe, they should have come earlier. Alexia was good at every aspect, but she was too stubborn and
After Cecelia publicized her apology on WhatsApp, she went around and forwarded it to all other social media platforms. Jane wasn’t an exception, she followed suit and it became a burst in the whole city traveling to all parts of the world.Almost everyone knew that Alexia was the daughter of the Ferrero’s that night.After learning that Alexia was the young lady of entertainment company, someone didn’t sleep well all night. The next day was the weekend, Alexia and Veronica went to the gym together. There was a lot on their mind and they needed to sweat it out.On their way back, Aaron called Alexia, seeing the call, Alexia rejected it directly.Beside her, Veronica thought it was Edward. She clicked her tongue and said, “What, now that the Franks knows you’re the daughter of the richest man, they are trying to win back your golden pocket?At the red light ahead, Alexia slowly stopped the car. She turned her head and glanced at Chen Xiao indifferently with a sneer playing on her lips.
Alexia knew that using someone as a stepping stone to gain something you want had it’s benefits and disadvantages. And she hated that she was about to do that, but her two friends managed to convince her that it wasn’t a big deal. And so, she decides to wait for Damon and see what her fate writes, during and after the meeting.It was the first time that she had agreed to something that could also be a foolish idea while balancing the odds.They decide to wait for him by the bar and joy happily walks to the receptionist and says something to her. After sitting for a while, the receptionist serves them hot tea and snacks. Veronica suddenly becomes impressed with their service as a huge smile appears on her face. As she looks at the snacks in front of her. She was just about to dive in when she heard Alexia say,“I’ll only wait for fifteen minutes, tops.”If in fifteen minutes there was no Damon in sight, then it wasn’t on her anymore; it was fate who interfered. She is ready to give in
Damon looks at her closely, and she sweeps her hair to the side of her shoulders and clears her throat before saying to him,I wasn’t waiting for you as in waiting for you. I hope you don’t get this wrong.Damon smiles above Alexia’s head and she shakes her head and picks up her bag. She stands up and glances at Damon and then say’s to him. “There’s something I need your help with, Mr. Damon.”Damon looks at her, and one can see the shining in his eyes, he must be happy and so he requests. “Miss Alexia, how about you treat me to supper?”Alexia is about to object to this but he adds on,In any case, I just attended a party and it’s obvious that I had some few drinks. I can’t drink and drive right?Alexia wanted to refuse but then, she was there for one thing and she hasn’t finished her goal and so, she has no choice but with a frown on her face say, “I didn’t drink.”“Should we leave then?” Damon asks with an obvious smile on his face, it seems he couldn’t hide his feelings in front o
His eyes light up as he speaks and his words meet the ears and get the reaction of being charmed. Most ladies would be definitely charmed by his words and aura. But Alexia isn’t just a lady, her fragile heart has been broken before and now, it’s guard with an iron fence. It needs proper care and attention to break it down with a steel saw.She stands there with a calm smile on her face. His words had made her heart skip a beat but that’s all it could do and a total silence returned to her being. And so, he replies to him with a lazy look on her face, “Doesn’t sound that fun.”When Damon hears her words, his smile doesn’t vanish, neither did it do anything to his temperament. He only smiles and says to her, “Then forget it.”He didn’t feel embarrassed about being rejected. “Shall we go for supper?”“Mr. Damon, what would you like to eat?”Damon names a place, but it only brings confusion to her mind. Alexia seems to have never heard of it. Having expected that, he takes out his phone a
All of them stare at each other, it was a big city with several eventful places. But why did they have to meet each in every move they make? It is as if it is a planned destiny. Chris found it eerie for them to bump into each other more than once. It was not easy for him to persuade Edward into having supper at this new place. He didn’t expect to meet Alexia as soon as they got there.Moreover, Alexa is not alone. Damon, who announced that he was going to pursue her, was standing beside her. Damon is Edward’s sworn enemy.Looking at the situation in front of him, Chris regrets coming to the place. If only he had chosen a day late.They were not that acquainted with Alexia and she did not respond when they greeted her earlier. Chris could tell Alexia was ignoring them because of Edward. He understood that perfectly well.Chris learned from this lesson, so he stood quietly aside and looked forward. He thought it would be less awkward if he acted like it.Alexia glances indifferently at
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
