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
Alexia knew a man like Edward was a little self- centered but she didn’t expect he was this conceited. She admitted that she didn’t want to greet him after the divorce. What a joke for him to think she was playing hard to get.It was spring in the City at the end of February, so it was cold at night. As soon as Alexia came out of the restaurant, she sobered up from being blown by the wind. Her anger disappears with the wind, it is not worth it. She calms down and takes a deep breath.“Do you want a hug?”It’s only when she heard the man’s voice from behind her that Alexia remembers that Damon is with her.She was stunned, turned around, and glances at Damon, who had caught up with her. She calls out to him calmly, “Damon.”She put away the smile, and her expression turns serious. Damon stops smiling and stands in front of her. “What are you trying to say?”“You see, he has no feelings for me. I suggest you look for Cecelia. The effects will be much better.” She answers him with a blan
She felt embarrassed and she suddenly lowers her head. Edward is standing beside his car and every action that occurred seems to be seen by him. His fingers are clenched beside him and his distorted expression doesn’t hide itself.He stands in place, looking at them. Then, he sees the necklace on Damon and feels as if his eyes had been pricked by a needle. He remembers the simple and elegant necklace. If he hadn’t seen Damon take off the necklace when he returned to his car to pick something, he wouldn’t know it was this man’s necklace.Edward had a good memory. During their four years of marriage, that necklace had never left her neck. He knew it was a man’s necklace, but he never felt anything. He didn’t love Alexia. Therefore, he didn’t care who she had feelings for. But seeing the necklace on Damon’s neck, he had an impulse to pull it off.Before he could recover from his impulsive thoughts, Damon’s voice sounded, with a proud smile on his face. “Is there anything wrong, Mr. Frank
To her, the Franks was in the past, and Edward was nothing more than an ex-husband. His behavior disgusted her, even though Cecelia framed her of being a mistress of an old man. She felt as if it was a joke, it did nothing to her emotions. But considering Edward’s actions, she feels like her heart and mind keeps telling her, he was a big mistake, he didn’t deserve your love. And it was hurting her head and chest.She didn’t care about what had happened in the past as they were now in their separate ways. She was disappointed that he forced her to kneel in front of the entire family. But she didn’t expect that she would doubt her character further after hearing what he said.Alexia looks at the passing lights from the car window. When she comes to her senses, she remembered something, turned her head, and looks at Damon, who was driving. “Didn’t you drink?”Damon slowly stops the car at the red light and tilts his head to look at her. “I only drank a little.”Alexia looks at him and in
His eyes follow her back as several thoughts run in his head. Only God knew his thoughts as he stared at her. When Alexia walks to the door, she looks back and finds that Damon is still looking at her. She pauses for a moment, then looks away to push the door to her apartment. She lived alone and so, she takes the empty elevator to her room.If the person five years ago was Damon, then his pursuit of her wasn’t for the sake of angering Edward. Knowing this gives Alexia a headache. She would rather Damon pursue her because of Edward. At least in this way, she could refuse him without any psychological burden.Soon, the elevator door opens. Alexia retracts her thoughts and walks out. Back at the apartment, Alexia picks her phone and dials Veronica’s number.Veronica was at the club with Joy. She didn’t hear her phone ring because of the deafening music, even when it was just beside her.She called twice, but it didn’t get through. Instead, she calls Joy’s phone. Her secretary picks the
Alexia couldn’t confirm whether Damon was serious or he was the man from five years ago. Her mind is in scatters and she couldn’t make out the right memory of the night. She saw Edward and she concluded that it was him but now, she wasn’t sure anymore.But she was sure that Edward had no heart for her. The next day, Alexia woke up to several missed calls from Veronica. Her thoughts being that she had already found out about the incident five years ago, she quickly calls her back thinking that her friend could do magic.After the phone was connected, the first thing Veronica says on the other end of the phone is, “Lexie, you haven’t gone out today, have you?”It’s a Sunday. She wanted to go out for some workout, she only got to do that ones in a week.Hearing what Veronica said, Alexia could not help but raise her eyebrows in confusion. And then she asks, “What’s wrong? Is there someone blocking my door?”“Did you just wake up? Haven’t you read the message I sent you?”Alexia felt that
Veronica’s source was efficient. It only took two hours for him to get the job done. Alexia disguises herself and goes downstairs. There were only two paparazzi at the entrance. She wore a hat and a mask and was dressed more gender-neutral. She walked casually in front of the two paparazzi, but no one noticed her. After they hadn't thought that she could disguise herself being herself without makeup and sticky clothes.Compared to her, Cecelia attracted more attention as she was Edward’s adopted sister and new lover. Cecelia didn’t expect to be the topic of public opinion. She had been keeping a low profile since her sack, from the mansion and sent abroad, afraid that the Franks would notice her. But somehow, she got noticed without her doing anything.Looking at the increasing number of views on Instagram, Cecelia was flustered, she wasn't the one in picture but she couldn't clarify that. As it will be revealing their secret kept for years. She takes out her phone and calls Edward.E
When Alexia returns to her apartment from the supermarket, the topic was taken down, and there was nothing under the keywords Edward. After checking her phone, she realizes that it seems there was nothing there before, both the topic and comments have been taken down.Needless to say, it was likely that Edward had gotten someone to remove it. She takes a look at her Instagram and sees that Veronica couldn’t wait to let her sources continue to publish more about it. Alexia was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she refused, “There’s no need for that.”Sometimes, hiding would only make things unclear. Veronica was puzzled and so. She asks, “Why not?”Alexia raises an eyebrow. “Don’t you think this feels like a cover-up?”Veronica was stunned for a moment. She reacts and slaps her thigh. “Alexia, you’re so smart!”Alexia smiles and asks, “Is that so?”Wasn’t Veronica saying that she was stupid for not thinking that earlier?Alexia was right. Although Edward asked people to take dow
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
