~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
~Alyona~ We finished our dinner and came out. Esrael didn’t waste a moment saying goodbye to all of us. Olivia was blushing, and I understood they wanted more time together. However, Darcy gave a strange look to Olivia and me. She didn’t expect Olivia and me with these high-class boys. “Bye.” We passed our goodbyes and walked towards our car. “It was nice,” Mason added. “Except that. I don’t like my boss’s involvement.” When we reached Mason’s car, he saw his car had a flat tire. “Great,” he gruffed. “What happened?” I asked. He pointed me towards the flat tire. Talking about Alexander, and here we go. “Now? What are we going to do?” “Nothing. I have to call my automobile roadside help company,” Mason added. He took out his phone and dialed the number. Alexander’s car was opposite us, as they were still in the car. “How much time?” I asked as it was 11 PM. Mom would be worried about me. I thought about calling mom, but there I got her call. “Mom, Mason had a flat tire
~Alyona~ Mom and Alexander settled on the couch when we entered the house, and I was just trying to slither into my room. “Alyona, will you make coffee for us?” Mom declared. She knew I would run to my room. I rolled my eyes and stomped my foot with a fake smile. I didn’t want to entertain Alexander, not right now. “So, tell me. How are you?” “I am fine. Alyona told me about the new member of your family. Congratulations,” Alexander answered. He can smile. I raised my brow. Did he even know he looks so cute in his dimples? “Oh, yeah, she is our angel. Tell me, is Alyona working fine in the office?” She looked at me. “She is good,” seriously? I thought you would complain about Mason and me cuddling on your property. Good? My foot. Why didn’t you tell her you don’t trust me anymore? Why don’t you show her your actual face? I made coffee and kept it on the table. Mom signaled me, as this is not a good habit of keeping the food on the table. Offer it to the guest. I mustered a
