A few hours later and she is tied up on a chair, her eyes are blocked with a white handkerchief and her hands are tied with another handkerchief. She is sitting down quietly until she hears the sound of heels coming her way, when she feels that the kidnapper is closer to her, she moves her leg just in time that the person falls instantly and a cry leaves her lips. Veronica laughs out and shouts,“Believe me, you have the wrong person. I promise you that if you don’t release me, I will die here with you. Did you kidnap my friend after abusing her right and you are here for me because I know her? You better watch out then because I have several people around who know me and her and you will never get away with your crimes.”She realizes that it is silent and so she keeps quiet, then she hears someone sobbing by her side. She feels confused about the atmosphere and she questions this time calmly,“Who are you? Are you also kidnapped like I am? Don’t cry, we will get out of here, one way
The door creaks open and footsteps come in their way. He appears in front of them and she looks up at him, hot tears drop from her eyes and he rushes in her way. He holds her in his arms and she puts her head on his shoulder crying softly in his ears. He touches her back softly trying to calm her down.Then he whispers in a deep voice into her ears,“Whoever that made you cry is going to it back tenfold. Do not shed a tear on anything that I can be in my hands, my Lexie, let nothing bother your beautiful mind.”Veronica looks at them quietly for a while and all she could think of is,“If you were couples, how amazing it could be.”She clears her throat and he looks in her way, his face changes from a loving person to an expressionless one and she can’t help herself but ask,“Are you the same person or someone else? How could your emotions change in a second? My name is Veronica Thayer, may I know who you are and why you are holding my friend in this way?”He pushes her from his embrac
All eyes were on me, and I felt like shrinking my neck and hiding behind my brother. But it seemed like he knew what I was thinking about and so he held my hand tightly reassuring me. It did no good until I saw them standing before me. This time, I didn’t mind the cameras flashing on me, all my thoughts were on that one man and the devil beside him. The people that tried to make me end my life when, I had never wronged them in anyway. And here they stood side by side looking affectionate and planning to get married. The fear I had in me vanished and I took a step forward ready to beat the life out of that nonentity.But then, I heard them asking,“Who is that goddess beside you?”And my brother responded,“She’s my fiancée Alexia Rivas.”I looked up at him and he smiled in reply then I thought that it was a camouflage to put my enemies in awe. I felt a hand push my rib lightly and she spoke,“I can’t help myself but think that, your ex husband is looking dashing tonight. I guess that
Alexia’s POVThe video continued to play and showed how, Cecelia and Edward switched rooms and when Alexia got to the hotel and the means she used to get to them. And the terms that were on my divorce certificate, the transfers i made to the Frank family and what remained in my account. it ended, everyone and everything was silent until one person boldly spoke,“Alexia, you have been wronged, you should file a case against her. And the entire family of the Frank for defamation and money loitering. No one, pays such a huge amount of money for her dowry!!”Others joined in the discussion and Edward walked down the platform. Behind him was Cecelia who was now on her knees and her head down. He walked on the red carpet and his mother and sister met him on the way, he looked in my way and his anger was obvious. I finally felt like a huge Rick had been lifted from my head and I could finally breath freely. My brother saw me smile and he walked towards me and stretched his hand saying,“Let’
He picks her up in his arms, her body is covered with the bed sheet. They move out of the room and she keeps calling her name but she has her eyes tightly closed. As they are exiting the building, Alexia stops and looks around, she looks at every corner of the room but she doesn’t find what she is looking for. Jonas stops when he doesn’t feel her following him and he shouts her name,“Lexie!! Let’s get going, what are you looking for?”She rushes out and they board the car, in between them is Veronica, who now has her head laying on her shoulders of Jonas. Alexia keeps sighing and Jonas inquires,“What is your problem now? We have found her, haven’t we? What is now bothering you?”She shakes her head and replies,“I am happy that we found her. But you know, this issue reminded me of what happened before. Did you know, that even when we were still in the room at that time, reporters from nowhere appeared and started taking pictures? But why are there no reporters this time? I could onl
The next day, they are back in the mansion and she is laying on her bed. A violet flowery color covers her body and she is breathing evenly. Suddenly, the alarm clock on the bedside table bells, and she stirs up, she opens her eyes and the sunlight slaps them. She winces and squeezes her eyes tightly and she blinks hurriedly to adjust to the brightness. She yawns loudly and tries to put messy hair into place, she looks around her and she frowns and thinks,‘After that day, I feel like it never passes. Every day is our wedding anniversary and he stands me up. That evil man has tainted my early morning waking. I should find something that will replace that dreadful morning.’She gets up and rushes to the washroom, a few minutes later, she comes out in a bathrobe and walks to the side table and picks up her phone, and dials a number. The phone rings and on the second ring, the person on the other picks up and she says,“I will be there at noon, you should be ready by then.”She hangs up
Alexia looks at the huge building in front of her and looks back at him confused, he other the other hand has a huge smile on his face and he holds on to her hand. The gazes of the people around look at them blankly. Those in the building stop their business and stare at the couple-looking people in front of them and the ones passing by can not help but stare too. When they walk up the walkway hand in hand, some of the people take out their phones and start taking pictures. Jonas doesn’t stop them, but he removes his yellow-colored hat and puts it on her head.He shakes his head and laughs out saying,“Lexie, nothing can hide your beauty from the world and nothing hinders it. You are just a goddess just as they all say.”Alexia sighs and finally inquires,“Brother, what are we doing here? Shouldn’t I be going to work?; I wouldn’t want to be late on my first day in. Otherwise, the employees might think I am arrogant and that’s the reason I am arriving any time I want.”He laughs out an
They alight the car and she looks at the company on their opposite. Alexia watches the people go in and out of the building, she catches a glimpse of a familiar face, and just as she is about to look closely, Jonas holds her hand and pulls her from the roadside. She sighs and recalls something,She was dressed in a white jumpsuit and sneakers. She had pulled her hair in a ponytail and had in her hand a food basket, she arrives in front of the company driving in her old Corollaa. When she arrives at the gate, the security man looks her up and down and she smiles at him. She walks to the receptionist and says to her,“I am here to see Edward.”The receptionist gazes at her and she suddenly frowns and inquires,“Which Edward are you looking for? There are four to five Edwards in this company and I can’t think of any of them that you could probably see.”Alexia sighs and with a smile apologies and response,“Oh, right, I am sorry, I should have been specific. I am here to see the CEO, Edw
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
