~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.

*shaking my head* I just don't get why Alex can't humble himself. Admit you're wrong and apologize already...

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 37: The Phobia

    ~Alyona~ I reached my office the following day. Alexander and Esrael called us for a meeting in the boardroom about the Paris trip and how the departments need to manage their work. Designers, makeup artists, and management people's names were enlisted. I was quietly listening to their conversation when my eyes landed on my name enlisted in the list. I was assigned the important task of managing the show backstage. Reading my roles and responsibility, I looked at Alexander and immediately averted when I saw him looking at me the same way he did last night. What? He suddenly started trusting me after yesterday’s incident when I stopped him from kissing me. Because what I know about him is he never trusts a person when it comes to ENAMORE. I didn’t want to fall into the same trap; a single mistake, and he would not think once before blaming it on me. After the meeting finished, I went to talk to Esrael. “Esrael, I think I am not the fit candidate for this opportunity.” “Why? You

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 38: The City Of Love

    ~Alyona~ We reached Paris, “the City of Love,” because of the romantic atmosphere it exudes. The City of Love isn’t just a random nickname given to Paris; it’s the perfect description. Anyone visiting the French capital would provide for all the romantic vibes they find there. While sitting in the same car, I have never experienced such a beautiful aura. Parisian architecture is a blend of many architectural styles. Walk the streets of Paris, and you’ll see the beautiful combination of Victorian architecture, Art nouveau, Modern buildings, and more. Many of the residential neighborhoods showcase beautiful colors painted across the row houses. My eyes sparkled when I saw a man proposing to a girl, the bride. “Wow,” I whispered. Undoubtedly, French people are the most romantic people in the world. “I wish.” Esrael turned towards me and smiled. “What do you wish for?” He caught me. “A French man,” I answered. Somebody let out a sharp breath after I answered Esrael’s question. Esra

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 39: Teasing

    ~Alyona~ I enjoyed my dinner with Joshua. He took me to a fantastic place where the ambiance near the water stream gave me a soothing feeling. The site turned into an enjoyable setting when the karaoke started. With wine, we saw people singing French songs for their loved ones. I sang too and got lots of compliments on my music. I believe, and today, I saw wherever you go in this world, love is the only language you can communicate with. He dropped me in the hotel lobby. I opened the door of my room and found the room light was on. How the heck is this possible? I remembered I had closed everything before leaving. I walked inside, placed my clutch on the counter, and turned towards the mirror, trying to access my zip, when my eyes landed on a figure sitting in the corner. “What the heck?” It scared the soul out of me. It was Alexander in my room. “What are you doing?” I snorted. Alexander showed me his phone. “You sang a song for him?” What? Is he here to show me his phone o

    ~ALYONA~ As the days passed, ENAMORE reached the top in the fashion event. I could feel Alexander’s happiness on his face. Yes, ENAMORE is his baby, and he babied it very well. Today was the last day for the show, where Darcy presented the best dress from ENAMORE. It was an excellent ending, and she’s the best model who presented a showstopper dress, winning everyone’s heart. Well, it was evening, and the event-ending party was at its peak. We all celebrated it. I saw Esrael and Alexander drinking together. And I engaged with my colleagues who were backstage heroes, including Joshua. Sometimes I feel Joshua’s entry into my life brought Alexander near me. Whatever happens, happens for good. But something was not right with Darcy; she was acting strange lately. I saw she was drunk. She whispered something to Alexander, and I saw them leaving the party. “She is not well,” Joshua whispered in my ears when he saw my eager eyes scanning them. “Are you getting jealous? Alyona.” he re

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 41: Decision

    ~Alyona~ It’s like a void. A never-ending dark hole consumes everything, so you’re left feeling nothing. Empty. Nothing to subside your hollow soul that creeps in the shadows, away from any other human life, because its emptiness is so consuming it cannot bear to pretend that everything is okay. I didn’t know what to feel when someone took out my beating heart and crushed it under their feet. I didn’t know when I hit the plant pot in the hallway while running away from Alexander. He came after me when I felt his tight grip on my elbow. “Listen to me,” he shrilled. But my ears were deaf, and my mind shut down all my senses. I was entirely in a state of shock. “I didn’t know about this,” he said something. I didn’t know when I swung my hand on his face. The hallway was empty with the sound of a slap given by me on Alexander’s face. “Stop.” He was shocked. “I resigned,” I declared on his face. I didn’t care whether he wanted a month’s notice. All I cared about was my soul was

    ~Alyona~ It’s been two months for me with Cassie and her family. I wonder how they took care of me and my broken heart. As a big brother, Lucas never left me alone, and sometimes he used to tap the most sensitive part of my life; Alexander. He believed that time would heal my heart. They thought I was healing inside but didn’t feel like it; It’s just I trained to hide my pain perfectly in front of my family. I wonder why my heart still beats for him, even after so many days of pain. It was not the time; his betrayal caused me. She’s under notice period time, working day and night. It would be hard for her to come here; she spends most of her life in NYC. But because of me, she couldn’t come here. Cassie and Luca took me to their church, where I met their musical worship band. Music heals everyone, and with that hope, I started spending most of my time with them. We became friends. Composing songs and playing the music started healing my heart. Today it’s Sunday, and unfortunate

    ~ALYONA~ Meeting with Stephan was something unique to me. I am happy we became good friends in a short period. What I liked about him was he never judged me. He made me laugh every time we met. Our meetings were getting frequent as his visits to our choir. I thought of starting a new job, but somehow most of my time was spent creating new songs, and it became my new passion. Every time I went to practice, I found Stephan waiting for me outside. “Hey, how was the practice?” He opened the car door for me. “It was relaxing. I love this. I just love creating music. You know, today we tried shofar.” “That’s good.” “The sound of the shofar gives an intense touch to our soul. It’s like... I am..” I was busy telling him everything with all my gestures. I looked at Stephan, his eyes gawking at me. “Why are you looking at me like this?” I waved my hand in front of him. “Stephan to earth... earth to Stephan.” He didn’t answer me. “Don’t look at me like this.” I purred as his eyes were t

    After that night, Alexander and Alyona got married."Are you ok, babe?" Alexander asked, rubbing Alyona's back."I am looking like a balloon. I need to change this dress." She scanned herself in the mirror with a big belly."No, you are not a balloon. You are pregnant with my babies in your belly, making you the most beautiful woman on this earth."He touched her belly and kissed her."Still..." She whined."Come on, babe. We are getting late for the ceremony." Alexander winked at her in the mirror.She grabbed his hand. "Did I tell you, you are the sexiest man in this world? And I am craving for you every minute, even if you are in front of me."She licked her lips, looking lustfully at him. He raised his brow."No, you didn't tell me in the last few hours." He said.She pulled his collar and kissed him, smuggling her lipstick on his lips."I am done." She said."What about me? You are becoming naughty day by day.

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 54: ALWAYS YOU

    ~ALYONA~I understood what mom tried to tell me. Pray and wait on the LORD. Have you ever thought? It’s difficult to say to give all your worries to him and wait. How could you sit around and not think of the things that could affect your whole life?But here is what we call your faith stands. And I was a lost cause who couldn’t hear God’s voice for my answers. I was in a complete dilemma about how to tell Stephan about my feelings. Even after I prayed, I was worried about the things coming back and forth in my mind.I had to marry Stephan this evening, but my heart was pounding for answers. How is it going to affect my family? How is it going to work with Stephan? “Lord, I prayed. But I know I am still thinking.” It felt like guilt. Am I not trusting him anymore? Or am I just watching my GOD with the possibilities of what I wanted to see?With all these thoughts, I reached my church early in the morning. I came inside to cool my mind before the evening ceremony. Doesn’t it feel str

  • Never Let Me GO   Chapter 53: Pray, Don't cry.

    Alyona came home with her family. It excited them to know about her experience, but she was not ready to talk. “I am feeling tired, mom. Can I go to my room?” She passed a smile to everyone and left the room. It felt awkward as this was not the Alyona they knew. She’s alive and excited all the time, but here she seems lost in the track of time. It’s been two days since she didn’t open up with anyone. Her sister took her shopping. “Girl, I know you are busy with your practice, but we have only two days left. We have to go for the dress’s trial. After that, makeup, and all.” Cassie was excited. Alyona nodded, as she had to marry Stephan as she promised. She has to look happy in front of everyone. She felt vulnerable about hurting Alexander’s feelings. She used to jump around for the whole day, trying to look happy. But every night, she used to cry for hurting and missing her true love. “What should I do? I rejected the man I love. And I can’t hurt my family.” Every day she h

    The night was beautiful with her presence beside him. It seems like they were leaving a dream of having each other in arms.The morning came as Alexander scanned her face like a new hope. He caressed her cheeks and wished to wake up every morning beside her. Today was the last day for them, and today’s night would be the last for him to make her fall in love.He pecked a kiss on her head.“Good morning.”She whined and snuggled her head on his chest.“Not now. I am tired.” She whispered.With a naughty thought, he trailed his finger on her shoulder to her back, making circles and wet kisses on her neck.“I know a good way to wake you up, princess,”He went down while licking her body. Her body started to react, but she didn’t open her eyes.But he could hear her soft moans.Aroused chest and the wet valley were ready for his touch.He bit her dow there, not soft enough to give another painful whimper.She begged him to stop this teasing, but he looked at her with a smirk.“I have not s

    It’s morning. Alyona opened her eyes and found out Alexander was sleeping next to her. She hesitated for a second, but then she remembered the last night he helped her sleep peacefully. Softly, she traced her fingers on his face. His big thick lashes covered his piercing hazel eyes. He was sleeping calmly with the smile of a baby. She stood up without disturbing him and walked toward the bathroom for morning chores. After she was done, she called her family and updated them about her trip and her health. She came inside and saw he was still sleeping like a log. Suddenly the phone rang as it echoed in the room. She picked up the phone immediately, “He...” Before Alyona said something, the other person screamed. “Hello, Alex. Happy birthday, brother.” Esrael screamed from the other side. “Hello, it’s...” Alyona whispered. “Alyona, is that you? How are you, dear? Well, remember me? I am Esrael, your ex-boss and friend?” Esrael answered. “Hi,” Alyona answered in a low voice. “Th

    He extended his hand towards her. She hesitated, but at last, she opened her hand towards him. He smiled as they walked towards their room. “So this is my room,” Alyona smiled while Alexander kept her bag. “Is it? I thought this was our room.” He answered. “You have a separate room, right?” She asked. He smirked at her. “Do you want me to live in another place when I have only eight days to remind you of everything? Don’t you think it’s unfair to me?” He frowned at her with his puppy eyes. She looked confused, but he was right. “Then you will sleep on the couch.” She pointed. “Yes, boss.” He dropped his bag, too. She roams around to look at the beautiful view of this VIP Suite. “I booked a normal suit. I didn’t get a VIP suite at the last moment.” She casually informed Alexander. “It’s ok; I bought this suit for us,” he answered while taking out his jacket. “How?” He patted the place near him to make her sit next to him. She heaved a low breath, thinking she didn’t rememb

    Alexander came to Stephan’s office to meet Alyona. Stephan knew him, as Alexander was a well-known man in the business world. “I wanted to meet Miss. Alyona,” Alexander said. “But she is not up for any modeling assignment. She is a singer, and she will not promote your brand.” Stephan smiled. The meeting seems official, as Stephan thought Alexander came to Alyona to promote ENAMORE. “I am not here to promote my brand. I wanted to meet Alyona.” Looking at his curiosity, Stephan doubted him. “How do you know her?” He asked. Alexander told him about Alyona’s job in ENAMORE. Stephan understood he was the man who broke Alyona’s heart. “Get out.” He didn't listen to Alexander. Alexander begged him, but he told his security to take him out. Stephan called Alyona’s mother and informed her about Alexander. She got stressed, as she didn’t want Alyona to meet him. “Stephan, it will affect her health.” she purred.
