~Alyona~ It made me laugh at my stupid decision, thinking of Oliver as Mr. Right. I changed my dress hastily and plumped on the bed. What were you thinking, Alyona? Did you forget he is your boss’s brother? Alexander would never allow him to talk to me. He seemed restricted with the professional relationship, and today was the first time I heard about Darcy. I never knew this man could love anyone. But there seems to be no difference between his rude girlfriend. I would say she complimented him very well. She’s a proud woman, and he is arrogant. Well, now he knows I was with his brother, and I am sure he would react to this situation. The weather was pretty cold, and being in this old building, what more could I expect? The heater was not working again. I thought to call the maintenance guy, but surely they will come in the morning. ****** The following day when I woke up, I felt an itchy throat and a tired body. No wonder the chilly room without the heater caught me off-guard.
~Alexander~It’s been two hours; she was still unconscious with a slight temperature. I was sitting next to her, holding her hand.Everything felt chaotic to me. What would happen If I didn’t get there on time? Why didn’t she tell me about her health? I cursed myself.I never gave her space to talk. I acted like a ruthless person to her, who always wanted to show my dominance. I hope you can forgive me, Alyona.While I was lost in my thought, my phone started buzzing.I came out of the room and left the door ajar.“Where are you, Alex? I am waiting for you.” Esrael answered from the other side.I told him everything that had happened in the past few hours. He was not ready to accept Oliver could do such things.“I am not sure either. I saw Oliver’s car parked, and I doubt it’s him,”Esrael, a good man, didn’t want to bother me with my brother’s talk. “Do you think we should inform her family?” Esrael answered.“Alyona informed me that her mother went to see her sister, and she was livi
~Alyona~ It’s not my nature to stay quiet for so long, but here I was quietly eating my food. Maybe it’s his first time to bring someone like me who is more like a liability or responsibility than a pleasurable company. “I am sorry. I didn’t want to bother you.” He tilted his body over the counter and pressed his lips together. “Seriously?” “I misbehaved with you, and all you wanted to say is this?” That line hit me for a moment, making me feel, am I talking to my boss or the man I met that evening? “Come on, today; I will give you a chance to speak the truth.” He came to me and held my hand. “I don’t understand what you are saying,” I replied, unaware of anything going around me. “Miss Alyona, I am giving you a chance to tell whatever you had in your mind from the day we met till now.” From the day I met him? Should I tell him about our unexpected kiss? What if I tell him and he throws me out of my job? “And don’t worry, I will not fire you from your job.” He smiled wit
~Alyona~ The following day I woke up early as my body was scheduled to go to my office, finished my morning business and waited to go out into the living room. He might have fallen asleep, and with this thought, I strolled toward the living room; I was feeling hungry, but it scared me to go into the kitchen without his permission. “You are awake?” He scared me. I was unfamiliar with a male voice dropping my ears in the morning. “Good morning... How is your fever?” He came and touched my forehead and neck. “Good morning,” I replied with a smile. “You need to eat something before you take this medicine.” He placed the medicine in a bowl in front of me. He walked toward the kitchen, and I was surprised to see where his cook was. “Is it ok if I make something for us?” I hesitantly asked. He looked at me with surprise. “Why didn't you like my food? Yesterday,``he questioned. “No, it’s not like that. I loved it.” “Can I make something for us?” I added. “Ok, I would love to eat s
~Alyona ~ Everything seems like a dream to me. I was feeling better with continuous medication. Besides, my health was not my focus when the man I desired the most spent time with me. The weather was pretty cold, another reason people knew New York for, We reached Coney Island, but as we entered, the guard told us the rides were closed, but the beach was open. Alexander looked at me with a guilty face. “Flop show, I guess,” he cursed himself. It made me laugh because when we started the journey; I told him it would be close because of the cold weather, but he didn’t listen to me. “Yeah yeah… tell me you were right about this place,” he rolled his eyes as he was not ready to accept his fault. “For the one day in my life, I thought about taking a girl out. I wanted to spend some quality time, but how is this possible with Alexander Hunt?” he gruffed, looking here and there. I waited for him to calm down; he looked at me with a frown. “Now what?” “Come with me,” I extended my h
We reached the mall next to our office. I needed to collect the cake I ordered for today, but as we arrived, Alexander told me not to go to the shop as the cake owner will bring the cake to our car. I guess big people have their unique way of handling things. I was quietly waiting for the cake to get delivered in the car when I saw the same old man to whom I had bought Mac Donald’s food and the warm jacket.I felt overwhelmed when I saw him wearing the same jacket I had gifted. Without thinking, I excused Alexander for a few minutes.“Will you please wait here? I need some important thing to do.”He looked confused.Hastily I got out of the car and ran towards the Mac Donald’s grabbing a meal for him. I grabbed the dinner and walked toward that him.“Hello,” I excitedly said.He looked at me and furrowed his brow as he tried to recognize my face. Once he did, he raised his hand to bless me.“Daughter,” he answered.“Have you eaten something?? Look, I brought double mac chicken with ext
~Alexander~ ‘I love your eyes and your smile. And I will never forget the way you kissed me at the masquerade ball.’ This line got all my attention; before that, I was teasing her with my words; she disliked me. Is there anything she likes about me? I tried to process the words she blurted at me, but the very next moment, I saw her running away from me. Again? Is she going to leave me the way she left me in that ballroom? No, no, no, I ran after her; I wanted to hear those words again. But she was not ready to accept it. But I had to be sure of what she said, which was the only way I could find out. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw those green orbs surrounded by the masquerade mask. I pulled the scarf and covered her face to see those green emerald eyes, the same eyes that drove me crazy that day. Fuck, I cursed myself. Why didn’t I realize her presence before? I tortured her intentionally, shouted at her, and never realized she could be the same girl. With all these confusi
~Alyona~ When I opened the door, my breathing got stuck in my throat. Mason, what is he doing here? And why did Ivy bring him to my home? I had thousands of questions, but how could I speak in front of Ivy? With a mustered smile, I welcomed them. “Hey,” “Look, who is here? He came today. I thought about bringing him too for the party.” Ivy smiled. I shifted my peer towards Mason, looking hotter than when I saw him holding my favorite flowers, red roses. Saying nothing, he hugged me tightly. “Hey, princess, this is for you, your favorites,” with all these confusing thoughts, he kissed me on my forehead. Wait, what? Why was he trying to get cozy with me? “Thanks,” I welcomed him too, with confused emotions. When I turned, Alexander’s expression changed into something; I could hear a low growl underneath his breath. Mason, without blinking, extended his hands towards Alexander. “Hi, I am...” “Mason,” Alexander answered while pissing his tooth together. “Great, how do you kn
