~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
~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
~Alexander~ Her mother’s words gave an unexpected turn to my inner being. What does she mean by making a pregnancy report for Alyona?Does that mean Darcy played with me?All these thoughts floated in my mind till I reached my office.My dad and Darcy’s dad planned a small party in our honor. They were happy; Darcy and I would get married soon.But, before that, I need to know the truth behind this.Once I reached my office, I saw Mr. Smith was waiting for me.He is one of the best people I hired to dig out the truth. He even helped me to find out about Alyona and Mario’s relationship.“Please.” I extended my hand towards our room.“Tell me what happened, Mr. Hunt.”He’s a middle-aged man with a grey beard and a bald head.“Mr. Smith. I need to find out the truth behind Darcy’s pregnancy. I doubt whether she is pregnant or not.”I gave him all the details as he slithered from my office.No one knows his actual job except me. For others, he’s just clothing merchandise.I am sure he wi
~ALEXANDER~It was my dad who threw the party. I knew he was trying to make up for the time he didn’t give me when I wanted him the most. All those years, my eyes looked, expecting things from him, but he didn’t come. And now I am a grown-up man standing on his own, the youngest entrepreneur in the country; he wanted me to accept him.As I entered the house, my stepmom greeted me with a smile.I understood money could buy anything in this world.“Hello.” I didn’t want to call her mom.“Alexander, my son, come.” Son? Seriously? Where was your love when I cried for a single hug from you?“Thank you,” I replied as I entered my dad’s house.They greeted me. After all, I am the new scapegoat for them to expand their business.The party was at its peak, and I saw the drama queen Darcy there.She was holding her belly like she had crossed her first trimester. I wanted to know how long she could lie to me.“Hello, Darcy.” I pecked a kiss on her cheeks.“Thank you for standing and accepting ou
~ALYONA~ The days passed as Stephan started to gather more attention in my life. We went on dates, danced, and sometimes, he used to come to my practice at the church. I was better than before. The day came when I had to perform at a concert. My heart was beating fast when I saw the crowd in front of my eyes. The stadium was full of thousands of people, and Stephan trusted me with my first performance. “I am scared,” I said while pressing lips with a cold body. My family hugged me before going to the front chairs. Stephan dragged me behind the stage. “I am scared, Steph.” I drank water as my hands were cold. “I can’t.” he was calm as the sea. “I trust you,” he whispered. “But, I think I am going to...” I looked at him with parted, nervous lips. He smiled and claimed my lips. The kiss was so intense; it took all my stress away; He sucked my lips passionately enough to show his love. “I love you, Alyona.” “What?” I said while scanning his eyes. “Yes, come back. I have a su
