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
Chris was going too far with his questions but he couldn’t help himself. Edward was in a bad mood, so he explodes, “Get lost!”After that, he didn’t look at Chris. He turns to the study and locks the door.“Alas—”Chris follows him and hit his nose against the closing door. Thinking of the way Edward looked at him, Chris touches his nose. He didn’t have the courage to knock on the door. He stands at the door for a while and looks up at it. He sighed, turned around, went downstairs, and left.Back in the car, Chris thinks of something and couldn’t help but gasp. “Does Edward regret his divorce from Alexia?”Thinking of this, Chris anticipates what would happen. If that was the case, it would be interesting to watch. With a snort, he drives away. The sound of a car’s engine comes from downstairs. Sitting on the sofa, Edward slowly opens his eyes. After Chris leaves, he calms down, but he remembers Chris’s questions. Why did he go to Alexia’s apartment building?Edward didn’t know how to
Edward successfully suppresses the scandal before it caused an uproar. Alexia stayed in the apartment for the whole Sunday until she received a call from Veronica in the afternoon. Veronica asked if she wanted to go to Joy’s bar for a drink that night. Alexia didn’t want to go out, so she refused. She would go to bed before 10 p.m. and wake up before seven the next day.At this time, it was not yet dawn. She draws the curtains open, and the sky outside was still dim. Alexia picks up her phone and looks at her schedule for the day. She had a lot of things to do. There was a meeting throughout the day and a lunch party at noon.She was very busy.It was rare for Alexia to get up so early, so she made some breakfast. She reached the company at 8:45 a.m.Her secretary and bodyguard had just arrived. They meet at the elevator of the parking lot. “Miss Alexia, good morning.”Alexia nods and replies with a smile. “Good morning, Miss Joanna.”Although Joanna was one of Jonas’ people, she had
Joanna had investigated and knew that Miss Jane as the daughter of the Franks, she wasn’t in good terms with Alexia to the extent of rubbing her face in the soil. All in the name of being her sister-in-law. When she saw Jane at the company, her face immediately turn dark. She was wishing that Alexia would refuse her visit so there wouldn’t be any argument to settle among them. Thankfully, she said that she would not see Jane, and Joanna would not convince her otherwise.“Okay, Miss Alexia, I understand.”Joanna nodded in agreement and turned around to send Jane off.It had been almost half an hour since Jane came to the company. When she arrived, Alexia’s secretary said that Alexia was in a meeting, so she had to wait. She had never had to wait in her entire life, but she had no choice after all she didn’t call before coming. So she thought.Jane felt that she was being very sincere by coming here already. She sees the elevator door not far away open. Soon, she see's Joanna coming out
Jane was stunned for a moment and didn’t respond, she thought if she apologized, Alexia will try to hug her and settle their argument. Ad in the past, she would get closer to Alexia to try and get information about her marriage and disclose it to Cecelia. At that time, as soon as she apologized, Alexia will look like the most happiest person on earth. But that wasn’t the case this time, by the time she came to her senses, Alexia and Joanna were already in the car.The two of them get into the car. Before Alexia could speak, Joanna asked the driver to start the car. The car slowly drives past Jane. When she realized what was going on, she was so angry that she couldn’t help but stamp her foot on the ground.“Alexia! How dare you say that I’m old! You are just a few months younger, we are both old women then!!”Alexia looks at Jane, who was going mad outside the car from the rearview mirror, and smiles. She was feeling good for getting a mad reaction from Jane after so long.After twent
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
