CHAPTER FOURTYSALLYI stood by the side as Alicia scanned through my dresses. I wanted to look my best since it was my first date with Alex. I was excited to go out with him. "This is incredible!" Alicia suddenly exclaimed. She turned to me with a smile. I narrowed my eyes as she brought out a black shiny short gown. "This is too short, and it's for flair."She grabbed me by the arm and pulled me closer. "You have to wear it," she insisted. After a while, I agreed to her and wore the dress. I sat in front of my large mirror in my dressing room, and Alicia applied light makeup to my face. "I think my lip is too red," I complained. She eyed me and continued with styling my hair. "You're good to go," she told me. I smiled. I stood up from the chair and stared at my reflection on the large standing mirror. I looked extraordinarily beautiful. I wore black shoes and grabbed my gold purse. "You're good to go," she told me. "And you look splendid. "I smiled. We soon walked into
CHAPTER FOURTY ONEALEXANDER Sally and I went to see the beach together. We also visited the park before we decided to head home. We spent the whole day outside, and it was already getting late. "I thought we were supposed to rest on Saturdays," Sally giggled. "Now we spent the whole day out."We drove home. While walking into the house, I tried to keep my eyes off Sally. She looked prettier than ever today. We walked upstairs together. Sally suddenly stopped in front of her room and turned around to face me. I smiled deeply as I stared at her. "I had so much fun today," she confessed. "Maybe we should do this more often," I said. Sally didn't say another word. She only smiled deeply and lowered her gaze to the floor. "What do you say?" I asked her. She shook her head and lifted her gaze to face me. Our eyes locked, and I felt cold shivers all over me. "Why would I deny such and opportunity," she asked and bit her lower lip. She was still staring into my eyes with her larg
CHAPTER FOURTY TWOJAMES I was scrolling through my phone aimlessly, with my legs crossed. My butt and couch rested on the couch as I watched my mom and the event planners out things in other. I had nothing to do online. I just wanted to escape chores."James," my mom called for the fiftieth time today.I turned to face her without saying anything. "Do you need the VIP table at the right side of the hall or left side?" She asked me. "Left side," I replied carelessly and continued pressing my phone. My mom went ahead with the event planners. Her phone soon began to vibrate, and she quickly picked it up. "Hello."She listened quietly for a while, and a smile broke through her lips. "Maybe you would come over later and pick more of the cards. I have three more guests that I want to invite."She soon hung up and faced me. "How many invites are on your list?" She asked me. "Uhm..." I scratched my head. "A few friends, and some random celebrities."She nodded. "I invited your... y
CHAPTER FOURTY THREESALLYI was working in my office when I heard a soft knock on the door. I lifted my head to stare at the door, and before I could say a word, the door opened, and James walked into my office. I smiled when I saw him. It had been long since I saw James last. He smiled as he came to my table. I stood up to give him a side hug. "At least, I'm glad that you're excited to see me." James told me. I smiled. "Of course," I replied. James took his seat, and I did, too. "Here," he said, handing me an invitation card. I took the card and stared at it. "Twenty-second anniversary?" I asked with my eyes wide open. James nodded. "Make sure you're there," he told me. I nodded. "Of course," I responded. "Is there a reason I shouldn't be there?" He leaned forward. "You, tell me," he responded. I smiled deeply. "None.""Are you aware of the fact that Alexander..." James began to speak but suddenly trailed off. "Alexander, did what?" I asked curiously. "It's nothing.
CHAPTER FOURTY FOURSALLYSlowly, I opened my eyes and rubbed it gently with my palms. I noticed Alex seated right before me on the bed and staring at me with a smile. My face flushed red, although his stares were a little uncomfortable. "Waking up to a handsome face makes you blush. I've noted that," Alex teased me. I rolled my eyes and looked away. Flashes of last night came to my memory, and a smile curved out on my lips. "I guess you won a jackpot last night," Alex continued to tease me. "The way you're smiling and blushing."I turned to face him. "I enjoyed last night," I told him. "At least, I got to experience what it felt like since I wasn't drunk this time. "Alex sighed a pretentious sigh of relief. "I really thought you'd wake up and stab me this time."I giggled. "Honestly," I began to speak, with a serious look as I placed my hand on Alex's chest. "Last night was a special one."He smiled deeply, revealing his cute dimples. It was hard to believe that I finally had s
CHAPTER FOURTY FIVE ALEXANDER Flashback.I was already on my way home from the office when I suddenly noticed a car parked by the corner. It looked exactly like Sally's car, so I decided to see for myself if Sally was truly the one who was stranded on the road. I parked behind her car and alighted from mine. I pointed a torchlight and was shocked to see Sally sleeping in her car. I opened the door, and it was not locked. I slapped my forehead. How could she be so careless?What would have happened if someone else had walked in here and saw her that way. A car soon pulled up in front of us. I looked towards the car as the lights went off. Someone alighted from the car and began to walk towards us. When he was close enough, I quickly recognised him as one of the drivers at home. "Sir, she called me a while ago to pick her up," he informed me. I nodded. "It's fine," I informed him. "I would just take it from here."The driver stood there staring at me with a confused look. "Cal
CHAPTER FOURTY SIXSALLY"Now, this looks exceptionally beautiful!" Alicia complimented immediately when I was done dressing up. I stood in front of my dressing mirror with my eyes fixed on my reflection. I was indeed a beauty to behold. A smile played on my lips as I watched my reflection. "I think you're good to go," Alicia told me. "You're lucky to have someone who has such a nice taste. "Alicia and I walked out of the room together. I walked her to the door, and she left. I turned around and saw Alex walking down the stairs.He was dressed in a cooperate wear. I stared at him agape until he got to where I was standing. "You look fabulous!" Alex said to me. "You look handsome."Alexander stretched his hands towards me and pulled me closer. "I didn't find you in your room, so I came downstairs to see if you're here.""I decided to see Alicia off. "Alex stared at me from my head down to my toe, and I smiled deeply. I loved the way he devoured my body with his eyes.I could te
CHAPTER FOURTY SEVENALEXJames's statement caused me to smile cause I already came, and I had no intention of leaving. "James," I called with a smirk as I learned forward. "Whether you or your mom, does that really matter? I'm here already, with an invite, and that's the most important thing. James tried to speak, but his mom pulled him away gently. "You don't have the right to embarrass my guest like this."I winked at James and turned to face Mrs Diane. "Hello, ma'am," I greeted her. "Hi, son," she replied and gave me a one-sided hug. James rolled his eyes, hissed loudly, and walked away. "You came in with a beautiful woman," she noted as she turned to face Sally. Sally gave her a deep smile. Indeed, my wife was damn pretty. How would I ever get used to having a woman like this beside me?"Hello," Sally greeted her. She waved at Sally, still staring at her with a furrowed brow. She suddenly turned to face me. "Who is she?" She asked me. I smiled and lifted Sally's hand.
