~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
~Alyona~ The morning was chilly as I moved to stretch my joints. Without mom, I felt vulnerable, but the last two nights were beautiful. It amazed me how my boss Alexander changed towards me. My unexpected confession and our kiss sent butterflies in my tummy while I hugged my pillow tightly. Come on, Alyona, get up and get ready for the office. I spoke some sense to my wandering heart. Hastily, I did all my things and reached the office. But once the elevator door opened in front of me, I was frozen, looking towards my desk. The nightmare that occurred to me that day crossed in front of my eyes. I stepped out of the elevator, but my feet were numb from taking another step. That evening, after Alexander left the office. I got busy finishing my remaining work. I thought about grabbing a cup of hot coffee, as my throat was hurting because of the cold. Nobody was there on my floor, only me with my click-clack sandal sound, walking towards the coffee machine. There was no coffee left
~Alyona~ It’s been three weeks since I was working in front of him. He took care of me. Sometimes we order lunch from outside, and sometimes go out for lunch. I am not sure about him, but I am in love with him. Deep enough to see him as my MR. Right. My mom came back to New York after my sister’s delivery. We were blessed with a baby girl. I was so excited about this newborn baby. I showed her the picture to Alexander. I sent her cards and flowers and told mom to bring lots of pictures of my little angel. Alexander wanted to meet my mom, which I tried to avoid in every way. He wanted to meet her in person to show her how thankful he was to have me in his office. However, my sister kept asking me to come and see her baby, but I promised to visit her after this fashion event. “The Summer Bang” This would be the biggest fashion event in New York. All the top fashion companies will participate in this event. Alexander was working hard at this event. I knew it because I saw him wo
~Alyona~ He blamed me for what I had not done. I could see the anger and the emotions flooding his eyes. He lost his trust in me. When he threw me out, I went to see Olivia and told everything to her and Esrael. Esrael heard everything patiently and believed that Mario would take down these allegations. “I trust you, Alyona. But I am not Alexander. He has trust issues, and watching your pictures meeting with Mario broke his heart. You were the only girl he had a friendly relationship with. Others don’t bother him.” Esrael speculated. I broke his trust; he thought I had lied to him, but my intention was never to hurt him. “Esrael, I know I hurt him for not telling him the truth, but all I care about is these false allegations in his name. I begged Mario for this, and he trusted me.” Esrael and Olivia sat next to me. “I understand, Alyona,” Olivia agreed. “We need to find the culprit who did this. And we have to establish the Enamore name, even if Alexander thinks I did wrong
~Alyona~ It hurt when he declared my transition to another office. I thought he would forgive me once he found the reason, but he let me go. He sent me as far as he could. We lost everything in a blink of an eye. Was everything so weak between us that a storm came and destroyed everything we built together? The painful thing was I could not change my feelings for him. Nobody told me to fall in love with him. It was my stupid heart who fell in love and thought he could become my Mr. Right. When I entered his office to take my stuff, he turned his face on me. Where are you going to take that much hatred, Alexander? Am I not worth it to see also? Tears came to my eyes when I waited for him to see me one last time. “Alexander, I am sorry.” He ignored my words, as I did not spoke it. I came out with a broken heart and suppressed the sobs inside me. I trust you, God, for everything that happens for good to those who love you. On that quote, I wiped my tears and walked with all my stu
~Alexander~ Sometimes I feel I have a stone heart. The only girl who believed in me, the only girl who discovered what’s inside me? How do I protect my heart and insecurities with arrogance and anger? She was the only one who knew I could be a good person, but there I threw her away from me. I am so cruel at heart that I told my detective to give all the information about Alyona. After following her and digging out her past, I learned Mario helped her. The day she came to Enamore’s masquerade ball party, she wore Mario’s dress. Luckily, my detective has an internal link in Mario’s office. He informed me that when Mario saw Alyona; he offered modeling in his company, but she ignored it. Mario respects Alyona with all his heart. I know he is the type of guy who doesn’t appreciate a woman for their beauty but for their dedication and work. I remember he was one of the finest designers who worked in my company. He is undoubtedly a talented guy, but he blames Darcy for something. Mario
~Alyona~ Well, it’s been a few days since Alexander called me into his office. Olivia, my protective friend, always warned me to stay away from Mason. But I had something else in my mind. Alexander pushed me to my limit by pointing out a formal friendship gesture to something else. I had to teach him a lesson. Mason asked me out for dinner, but I kept ignoring it. “Mason wanted me to go to dinner with him?” I whispered without looking at Olivia. Olivia raised her brow as I saw her from the corner of my eyes. “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from him? And what the heck, Alyona, since you started coming to the office with Mason?” She blasted. “You know,” I bit my lips. “I know everything. Don’t think I am busy with my work; that doesn’t mean I don’t know what Mason is trying to do with you,” I looked at her with puppy eyes. “I know, but we are just friends. And he is behaving nicely with me, Olivia.” “Alyona, I don’t have a problem, dear. I can’t see you crying again.” She patted
