Only You Chapter Eight
The news of Madame Claudia's return put the entire servants in a state of trepidation. Celia was the most disturbed and agitated about her return. She had to make sure, without an iota of mistake that everything in the house was in place. The driver had gone hours ahead of time to wait for Madame Claudia at the airport to avoid any silly excuse that would make him arrive late, and risk him being fired by her. Celia kept shouting, giving orders and walking round the entire house to make sure there was no error else Madame Claudia would have her head. Bella was the only servant exempted as she had to deal with Alexander's excessive needs and demands. She had gone out thrice that morning to get Alexander the perfect kind of pizza. First he had asked for a cheese pizza then changed his mind to wanting a pepperoni pizza after Bella had gone and returned the first time. When she came back with the pepperoni pizza, he said that he wanted chicken pizza instead and Bella set out again. She wa

After a moment of rest from her journey, Madame Claudia found herself with her son in the garden. She knew that the only place Alexander would be in the house if not in his room was the garden. She gave him a warm hug which Alexander reciprocated. He had missed his mother. They both sat down."I thought you would come outside to welcome me, Alex" Claudia started."I just wanted an alone time for a while and I know that Dad and Sophia would be there to welcome you" Alexander replied."But they are not you. I would have loved it if my son was there" Claudia said."Do you want to make this an issue now, mum?" Alexander asked, knowing his perfectionist mother."No, son" Claudia quickly defended. "I'm not and I won't" she smiled at him, "I'm so happy to see you son. It's been a month" "I missed you too mum" Alexander said and leaned on her. "Dad is too hot headed and I just avoided him as much as I could"Madame Claudia place her comforting hand on Alexander's face, "Just bear with him. H

Alexander's frustration increased from that night and Bella was the only one in the house receiving it's repercussions. Her work load from Alexander doubled. If she was stressed before, she was now double stressed. She barely had time for her meals. She just worked round the clock like a robot. She would go to bed late in the midnight and force herself up very early in the morning to tend to Alexander's needs. Bella only complained in her heart but did not have the chance to talk to Alexander. He would just give his orders and leave immediately before Bella would be able to reply. Bella saw the frustration in him. She had accidentally stumbled upon their heated conversation during dinner that night and overheard everything. Then, she understood the reason she had seen him so hurt in the garden earlier. She was surprised to hear that Alexander had a brother who was dead. She had thought to herself that Alexander would have been so close to his brother for his early demise to have suc

Alexander spent the night on the lonley road and for the first time, he did have quite a peaceful sleep though it was not for long. It was as though his late brother, Andre had heard his cries and decided to give him a night break. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He brought out his phone and checked the time. It was six-thirty in the morning. He rubbed his face with his hands and suddenly remembered Bella in the hospital. He started his car and turned around, heading for the hospital. When he got there he inquired of Bella and was told that she was still unconscious and nothing could be made out of her condition yet. He sat down on the chair beside her in the hospital. The beeping sound of the heart monitor machine filled the room. Alexander just stared at the unconscious beauty. A lot of things were attached to her body, drip, blood and others he did not know what they were. He thought back and realized that he had really hurt the young lady and for his own selfish de

For the three days Bella spent recovering in the hospital, she had seen a different Alexander Grande. He was always around to bring her food, fruits and everything else she needed. They did not talk much. He would only go to the hospital with whatever he had brought for her, ask her about her body and then go back home with an assurance of returning to check up on her later.Bella was stunned to see this version of Alexander. He was not hostile or mean. This new Alexander was nice, loving, caring and sweet. The perfect kind of man every woman would pray to have in her life. Sometimes she would say to herself that he was not the real Alexander. It could be that he was his lookalike. Being around this different man began to gradually mellow the hatred she had in her heart for him. She should have been angry that he was the reason she almost lost her life but she found herself grateful to he was caring enough to be by her side till she recovers.She watched him that evening before she wo

He just busied himself with his phone.After her ranting about how the past days were for her, she focused on Alexander with a smile on her face, "You haven't told me about the new business adventure you had gone on that kept you away from sight for days" she asked.Alexander raised his head from his phone to her, "You didn't give me the chance to talk, did you?" he sounded sarcastic but Sophia ignore his tone."Well I'm asking now. Tell me" she said with keen interest."It's a personal matter" Alexander replied."You can still share it with me" Sophia pressed, "We are going to be married so you're personal matters are equally my personal matters too" she added with her smile still lingering.Alexander did not reply her and returned to his phone."Fine, don't tell me.

Sophia knew something was going on and she had to think very fast. Alexander was slipping through her fingers. She could not just good her hands and watch Alexander leave her. His refusal to marry her was beyond his silly excuses and Sophia knew it clearly. If she would decide to keep quiet and take his word for it, it would come to a point when he would end his relationship with her and then the next thing that would follow would be his marriage to another.

As Bella dressed the grand bed in Alexander's bedroom, she noticed his tensed mood as he sat over the table in his room with some papers in her hands and his laptop opened on the table. Bella could see his hands vibrating with the papers in them. She finished dressing the bed and walked to him at the table."What's making you so nervous this morning?" She asked him.As if he was waiting for her to ask, he dropped the papers on the table and stood up, walking into the free space in the room. He faced her and said, "I have a very important presentation tomorrow morning at the company and I'm nervous" He replied."But you shouldn't be nervous." Bella said."Yes, I know. Years back I would have done this with my eyes closed, without a worry but now I don't know, I'm just scared. It's been long I did something like this. What if I've lost it?" He asked and started pacing round the room."Sir, Relax....."Bella said but Alexander continued as if he did not hear anything."Imagine the board l

Only You Chapter Fifty Three
It was time. Everything was set according to their plans. Amor's army-trained men had scouted the location with the help of that same tiny, undetectable drone and the men were able to locate important spots and entry into the building.The building was a fancy bungalow situated somewhere along the borders of the city, quite far from the main town. The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou

The room was silent. It had been that way for about three hours. Everyone was present in Bella's living room waiting for Sophia's call. Jeremy has been gone for more than twelve hours and with no where to start, they were earnestly waiting for the kidnapper to call and place their demands."Why won't she call already?" Bella was angry and getting frustrated. She just paced round the living room."I sware, if anything happens to me son, I'll hunt Sophia down" She cursed angrily."Darling, relax" Amor spoke to her from the sofa where she sat. "That woman will not hurt Jeremy since she wants to get Invicta. Maybe she is trying to make a full proof plan before calling. Let's wait for her call""That's what I am waiting for" Bella said and continued pacing."Why don't you sir down?" Amor asked her"I'm okay this way" Bella replied.Time was gradually passing by and Sophia had not still called. Alexander was seriously holding in his anger.

Sophia and her father made the plans for Jeremy's abduction that night before Sophia returned home. According to their plan, they would spend the next day, monitoring every move Bella and her son would make and then the day after, Jeremy would be successfully abducted. This was for them to be very sure before launching any attack and endangering themselves. Sophia said nothing to Alexander after she returned home that night. Alexander also ignored her presence. Things seemed to be drawing to the end. Alexander could see a life without the troubles of Sophia and her father drawing near and Sophia could see the whole of Invicta becoming hers. Two antagonizing plans of which only one can emerge victorious. Alexander held onto the faith that good will always triumph over evil and he strongly believed so.Alexander was thinking, as he laid on the bed.

He would have her again, he assured himself and took a bite of his snacks.His phone rang and he answered it;"Hey Duke, what do you have for me?" he asked the caller."Nothing much Alex. These accounts you sent me are very very tight. I can't crack them. I've been trying but all seems futile." Duke replied over the phone.That was not the news Alexander wanted to hear."But there's something you can do, definitely" Alexander pleaded"I really need these accounts to be cracked. It's very urgent and very important for me. Surely you must have a way....I.....I'm ready to pay to get it done." Alexander added."Alright Alex.

I regretted ever knowing you. I cursed you, Alex" Tears formed in Bella's eyes as she spoke."I know. And I understand why you had felt that way.
