ALEX POV.

My hands tapped against the steering continuously with my mind aloof; my eyes were pinned against the road while I severed between lanes swiftly and fast. I only had one aim in mind, and it was none other than getting what I wanted—getting to hayle .

Her funny, innocent smile had made me blush, but then hearing laughter in the background didn't sit well with me.

I honked at the cat ahead of me. Cursing beneath my breath, seeing how slow he was, yet it had not seemed to be enough, especially when the push came to shove, it had seemed almost like he had a lot coupled up in his head.

But I had far more important things to deal with at the moment, starting off from the point where she had spoken about having no idea where she was.

I mean, hayle wasn't the type to go drinking around, and yes, it might probably not hurt having fun every once in a while, but it's the fact that there seemed to be something amiss.

She had sent me a text saying it was forwarded to her, but still, eve

    “Get away from me, you creep!” Emily screamed as soon as she pushed her eyes open. A sudden heavy migraine attacked her as soon as she had spoken, and just then did she realize how much alcohol she had drank the previous night.Dustin, on the other hand, split his eyes slowly, rubbing slowly on his orbs, trying to recall the compelling situation he found himself in. He recalled drinking a little the previous night, and then the new cycle followed up; they had a few more drinks with Hayle, yet as soon as Hayle made her way out of the house, she realized what a great deal of fun they were having and then drank some more. Then, after three asn, he had not stopped.He won't necessarily be expected in the office. Although he knows things might get awkward between him and Hayle, which is why he lied about having a thing or two to do, I was hoping that eventually, if she came to push, the entire thing would be off their shoulders. He took a quick glance around, his mind laced with a coupl

    Hayle.“What do you think?.” I asked and swirled right in front of him, he looked rather exhausted but I wasn't done.“this is the one, it looks perfect I mean, it's the best it brings out your eyes and all.” he complemented with a smile, I turned my gaze from the mirror and glanced at him, slowly I approached him.“My eyes are blue, this dress is green, it does not bring out my eye color Alex , I told you to pay more attention to the color stripes, the design of the folds and curves of the dress.” I complained.A giggle came on from the other end, I glanced up and several workers scurried away in haste as they realized I caught them off guard.“Are we not done yet?.” Alex asked lazily but I rolled my eyes in my head , drew closer to him and snatched off a dress in his grasps.“Oh sorry, what was that again? Last I checked I warned you but you didn't want us taking much luggage along, saying we would buy new ones and you didn't stop to think clearly did you? I know you've got the mon

    Hayles point of viewI shifted in my seat, my eyes pinned against the file placed in front of me, while I stuck up the ends of the pen into my teeth. I had been pondering the whole day on how to thank Alex; he had been nice enough, and I had sent him off in a rather hasty manner the previous day, which probably registered me as nothing better than a weirdo to the public as a whole, although I knew I needed to make certain amendments.“Hayle?.” a voice called, drawing me out of whatever fancy land I had been drawn into.“Yes, how may I help you, please?. '' he asked with a smile settled on my face as I responded to the young man who stood before me. He worked with Alex, so I knew almost immediately that it was related to him already.“Mr. Alex had asked for you, so I think it's in your best interest that you check with him right now; it seemed urgent.” He added at the end of his words and turned down his feet even before I got a chance to respond.I stood to my feet and grabbed the fol

    hayle’s pov.I could see him avert his gaze away from mine as soon as our eyes locked, for some reason an unsettling feeling got stuck at the pit of my belly and it made me wonder how and why I was stuck up on things like this. Was he still being a cry baby because I solely refused to eat with him in public at the company?.“Good morning alex .” I greeted as soon as he made way towards the elevator and I followed behind him, he had said nothing even when I smiled from ear to ear,I knew I should not have requested things that made him feel petty and yes, I was terrible at explaining feelings, I could have just told him I was never good with taking things from people without doing anything for them in return, but then again, I should never run my opinions against anyone else.I swallowed hard, wallowed in my own self pity as I recalled how hard it was for me to sleep last night, been in a strange house really did take it's roll on me, Emily and I had barely gotten chance to talk, as s

    Morgan 's point of view“You don't look too good. Someone spoke from across the bar while his feet drew closer to me. I took a shot of tequila, then chugged down more lime before moving my eyes to match his.“ matt.” I wiped my eyes, two peas in a pod. They were unbelievable.“I don't think the boss would like to see you here. Drinking all alone so late at night in a bar like this, aren't you both just married?” Matt asked with a smile lingering on the sides of his lips.“You should be worried about your boss and not me; besides, does he care where I am or where I'm off to? It's not like it's any of my business or his; last time I checked, he kept pinning and whining on hayle . He just keeps talking about her—way too much gloating floating and this and that, and I'm sick and bloody tired of keeping up with his constant trauma. I'm not his mother, and I'm most certainly not hayle !" I complained and lashed out loud before realizing my mistake.I was a dead bit drunk.But I certainly s

    morgan 's point of viewA yawn eased through my lips while I rolled through to the other end of the bed. My hands tapped slowly against the body, just like they had usually done.But there was nothing there.I parted my eyes and brows hastily, and the first thing my eyes landed on was the huge mirror.Right across the room, my very own reflection mocks me. I looked like a mess.A sigh eased through my lips while I pushed further away from the bed ; I wasn't getting it. What could possibly be wrong such as that Giovanni didn't sleep home the previous night.On my first attempt at trying to collect the memories of the previous occurrences, but then I felt an insane urge to retch, I picked my head towards. While I spilled out all the contents in my belly, retching terribly, I turned on the tap in the sink to have my face wiped. And then it dawned on me...“Matt!” I blurted out all at once, darted towards the door, and I dashed out of the room. My eyes scanned through the environm

    Hayle’s .There was an unusually odd silence between Ethan and me; although we had not both been in the same spot before, neither had we spent so much time in such proximity, as the only sound made was our legs tapping against the floor as I tried hard to keep my eyes away from him.“So the wedding... how do you feel about it?" Ethan asked, breaking the silence. I raised my eyes to meet with him for the first time, and we locked gazes.“I honestly don't know.” I admitted not knowing if I should just dive into the entire details or keep my petty talks to myself.“Is there anything wrong? You can talk to me, you know?” He asked, and I nodded. So far, Ethan had been the closest person to Alex, and if I needed my problems corrected, he was the best person.But I didn't want to look like an ungrateful ass, having nothing to do but make complaints even when he had saved my life.“I'm really sorry. I did it to pry into your business; it's just that you look worried and worn out, and it does

    Alex'S .I glanced up at my reflection in the mirror before taking a long sigh, feeling somewhat released. It was finally the day; lots of mens had been visiting; everyone waited up at the hall for me; it was time.The conversation I had with morgan played in a loop against my mind, but then again, I had no reason to believe Hayle was not up for it; she had been calm all through the incident, speaking of which we had barely seen each other through the week, but it was not my fault either; we both had our times and had things to tend to.“Are you coming yet?.” Morgan asked as he pushed through the door with a broad smile on his face.“I really can't believe it; you're getting married, and all of it seems way too good to be true.” He added jokingly with a smile settled on my face.“Who knew I would beat you to it? At this rate, you'll end up dying single.” I teased while he raised his hand midway into the air in defense.“Who would blame me? Seeing how Hayle has you in a choke hold re

She was restless and maybe angry, but for all she knew, there were other things she needed to bring together.Weak and tired, she needed a little bit of peace and quiet. It felt like much was done or could be done; all she needed was her mind set free.She slipped out of the room, slowly heading towards the balcony, but then remembered that she had previously passed out there and slept in the cold till the next day.

    None of Alex's words made any sense to Hayle; how could her womb vanish into thin air? Why was he looking so serious? Was that meant to be a prank for her? Womb don't just get off one's body."Is this the part where I laugh?” Hayle asked curiously, flashing her bright set of teeth towards Alex, who was taken aback by her attitude. Sure as hell, she had her way, but he had his as well, and he was way more determined than anything else to handle the situation as best as he could, but she was not going to help anyone at all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered under low tones and tried standing on her feet. The first thing she felt was a throbbing headache and an insane urge to retch.“This isn't funny anymore, Alex. What's going on?” She asked again, seemingly confused as her vision was a little blurry.“Here, I'll help.'' Alex added in as he made his way towards her swiftly, running his fingers across her eyes and slowly pushing up in place before helping her back in bed."Hayle, this is a jo

    HayleHayle parted her slowly and glanced through her environment. Things seemed different for a moment, and the first thing that stuck with her was the vague emptiness that she felt, followed by quite a migraine that took place in her mind. What exactly was wrong? Why had she felt like something important was missing from her?.She glanced around, and the surroundings seemed familiar; it wasn't her room. But it looked oddly close. The first memory that shook her mind was collapsing by the balcony, cold and lonely, scared for her life, worried that no one would find her as people hardly entered or passed through there.She heard the creaking of a door, and the first thing she had done was close her eyes shut, firmly and tight, yet she found it really strange; she could not have picked up the footsteps approaching until she shut her eyes closed.“What's wrong with me?” She questioned herself yet said nothing. “I can tell you are awake; why bother pretending?” Alex asked as he leaned c

    Hayle.The cold wind blew harshly against my skin. I circled up my toes and tilted my head a bit.It was odd; why did it look so familiar? Emerging from the room, the scent that filled my nostrils, I stretched my legs slowly and raised my head with a louder yawn.My eyes moved over to the balcony, and it made me really bothered. Why was I in a situation like this? It made me sick to my stomach as I realized I was no longer taken.“awake?” his voice covered around me, I tilted my head, In the direction the words came, as I shook slowly yet carefully, panic shocking at my sides,“Why am I here?” I asked, the words easing off my throat bitterly. I felt an uneasiness within me, and I pushed myself slowly towards the end of the bed.“Stop; you need to remain in bed; you aren't fully healed yet.” He complained even when I barely felt anything different within me.“some joke?” I asked, my gaze on his while he rolled his eyes in response.“What exactly is your deal?

I dragged my feet reluctantly towards the don't and pushed it open, but to my surprise, it was Ethan.“Good morning, still asleep?” he asked. I shook my head, a faint smile against my lips. I could not really tell him much. It was probably not the best thing expected of me, especially given the fact that I had spent all my night thinking about Alex.“No, you didn't wake me; I had been a little tired from the journey; sleep didn't come easily.” I responded to his questions, although he seemed a little tense and worried.“May I come in then?” he asked, and I nodded, pushing the door wider apart for him to walk in.“I'm sorry, my manners are a little terrible. What's wrong? You don't look so good.” I asked on the spot, fighting hard to have my senses all intact.“Do you like it here, Hayle? Do you like be

It was seventeen minutes past three in the morning. It's been more than two hours since I retired to bed, fussing about and turning to no avail.“stop acting like it isn't your fault, why do you always have to make decisions that I'll take the pain for?” my asked, ranging unnecessarily, I sighed before blocking him off the mind link when he had put up with a fight…he was right, I've been imposing my decision on him lately.Apparently, there seemed like nothing else I could do better.

    Hayle's I slowly opened my eyes, the room looked fuzzy and unclear. I blinked a few times to clear my vision, and then I saw someone moving around, but their features were all blurry. It reminded me of Alex, but I couldn't be sure.I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, and a bit of fear. Was it really him? I tried to sit up to get a better look, but it was hard. Every movement felt heavy and slow.I strained my eyes, hoping to see more clearly, eager to know if it was really him or just my imagination playing tricks on me when suddenly he drew closer and spoke up.“I really need to know why you chose to have yourself killed today,” Alex spoke, his words coming off more like an exclamation than a statement. He had intervened and disrupted Adams' plan to take me out while fighting me in the training field. I was so dumb to recognize that that had been his plan all along.How stupid of me. I cussed inwardly. I thought about what happened, and a heavy feeling settled in my chest. I r
