“ I said I'm not having dinner!!” Alyssa yelled from under the duvet when the door opened. She heard it close softly and sighed thinking the maid had gone back with the food.
“ Why?”Alyssa pressed her lips then opened it . “ I don't have ap...” Her eyes widened and she quickly removed the duvet and knelt on the bed immediately.Quinn sighed and dropped the tray he was holding beside her. He switched on the room light and thoughtfully stared at her face.Her nose and eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying for a long time.He also moved and sat down on the edge of the bed. “ You should try to eat something even if you're not hungry.” Quinn scolded her in a very gentle way.“I...I don't have appetite ” Alyssa said with her head lowered. Somewhere in heart knew he was about to visit Tina judging from his attire.Quinn gave her a soothing smile. There was no way he was going to exShe was so engrossed in her drawing that she failed to notice Alexia had already woken up and was quietly staring at her. “ What are you drawing?” Alexia sleepy voice asked. She was unable to hold in her curiosityAlyssa almost fell down from where she was seated when she heard her sister's voice. She quickly covered the sketch pad and turned to Alexia. “ Uh...it's nothing. I was just playing around with lines. How about a walk? You must be tired from lying all day” Alyssa stared at her expectantly with a smile on her face while waiting for her reply. Alexia looked outside the window and thought that the weather was nice. “ Sure. Help me up” Alyssa breathed out in relief and helped her to her wheel chair. “ I can walk ” Alexia rolled her eyes and adjusted herself comfortably on the wheelchair. “ Yes. I know you can. Just treat it as a car and treat me as your driver. Here we
Alyssa noticed something was wrong. Quinn wasn't heading in the usual direction of their house. She kept quiet and continued to observe what he was up to. Quinn noticed all of her gawking and smiled internally. He pulled his car up in front of a glass building. Alyssa's eyes widened at the breathtaking view in front of her. She could see everything going on within the restaurant from afar. It looked so romantic. Quinn quietly led her into the building wrapping his warm large palm against her slender one. She noticed several people acknowledged him as he walked in with her till they got into the elevator. With the Winters' blood flowing through his veins, it was expected of the people to do so either out of fright or respect. They got in front of a glass door and Quinn just placed his thumb on it. The door made a low sound and then he opened it and led her in. Alyssa stared enviously
Quinn had a very important meeting in another city so he left even before Alyssa woke up. Alyssa walked down the stairs without making much sound. She knew no one in the Mansion loves her. They only smile and talk politely to her when Quinn Winters was around. “ Good morning Madam.” A maid greeted her from the side. She smiled politely and responded to her greeting. She got to the dining room but found out that the breakfast was not yet set which was quite strange. She pinched her legs and quickly reminded herself not to get used to her luxury life since it will only be short lived.“ Madam? What are you doing here?” Alyssa grimaced when she heard Linda's sarcastic voice from behind. “ Mr. Winters is not around today so we didn't prepare breakfast. It already good that he is nice to you by providing you shelter. You can't have everything on a platter of gold.” Linda eyed Alyssa's petite back and snic
Quinn felt bad that she was leaving the next day. He didn't want her to go but there was nothing he could do. Her future and happiness came first. He wished she had not chosen to live in the school dormitory. It would have been very nice to drop her off at school every morning after placing a warm kiss on her forehead. All he ever wanted to do was to hold her tightly in his arms without letting go but he managed to control himself so that she wouldn't mistake his desire for something else. He busied himself with different thoughts as he picked various items for her. He knew she wouldn't pick anything if he gave her the liberty to do so. The thought of it made him mad. Whenever he went shopping with Tina, she was always the one pointing the items they needed. While on her toiletries, he contemplated on the shampoo she would prefer. Given how gently she was, a mild scented one would suit her best but he thought it was best to ask for her opinion.
Alyssa lowered her head playing with the hem of her yellow dress. Quinn had presented it to her last night and it fitted her tiny body perfectly. She was not the type with a hour glass shape but she wasn't the flat type. She was very shy and prayed the floor to open up and swallow her. All eyes were on Quinn and his entourage. To make matters worse, the Mr. Davidson came to greet Quinn and led the way to her hostel. When they got to her hostel, Quinn Winters shot Mr. Davidson a glance. Mr. Davidson wiped the invisible beads sweat on his forehead. “ Since you came a bit late, the rooms were already occupied so....I'm afraid that...” Alyssa gulped and stared at Quinn. He seemed unbothered by the fact she won't be staying in the dorm. She pulled a long face and Quinn noticed it. He moved to pat her hair but she dodged and lowered her head with a pout. He moved close to her and placed his hands
Alyssa got into the lecture room quite early and found a place to seat. She watched as other students tripped into the class till it got filled up. “ Do you mind if I seat beside you’’ A girl with a blonde hair and green eyes approached Alyssa with a smile.“ Sure” She moved her bag from the chair. “ OMG....you managed to buy this bag! ” Bianca exclaimed but quickly covered her mouth. Alyssa stared at her bag but saw nothing wrong with it. Everything was arranged by Quinn so she didn't have the faintest idea why Bianca looked surprised. “ You know what, this bag is the only one of it's kind in the whole world. It was designed by T.Y, the legendary designer. This was his first time to design a bag. My dad attended the auction. It worth more than a million ”She said in hush tone. Alyssa's mouth dropped in surprise as she quickly placed the bag on the table in attempt to prot
Alyssa took a seat in a quiet corner and laid her bag on the table so no one could see her. Even so, she could hear the boys' whistling and snickering from a distance.She suddenly became aware of many legs approaching her. She glanced up to see who it was...Alyssa shivered nervously as Natalie smirked.She cast a peek over to the three girls alongside her, who quickly squished Alyssa into the centre of their group.Natalie took Alyssa's hand in hers and drew her closer. She pretended to be terrified as she stared at Alyssa's injuries, which had already stopped bleeding.“ " I have a band-aid on hand." Let's see how that goes. " Natalie smiled reassuringly at the terrified Alyssa.She yanked her hand away from Natalie's grasp and lowered her gaze. " I'm OK. You don't have to be concerned."Natalie's cheeks was flushed with rage. Her fingers dug into Alyssa's cheeks as she grasped her chin.Alyssa's eyes began to water again as the rims of her eyelids became wet. Many of the students
“ I'm glad you finally have the time to accompany me. Quinn is always busy with work that it's been a while since I've had a chat with him. Tina....you should speak to him. Tell him family is more important that work. ”A middle aged woman said tenderly holding Tina's hand as they browsed the antique shop. Tina nodded obediently with a smile. “ Rest assured Mrs. Winters, I will make sure I talk to him. It's just that....Now that Quinn is married, it's understandable that he won't have time for you since his new wife may want his attention. ”Mrs Winters pretty face turned into a frown as her eyes narrowed. She pressed Tina's hand gently and sighed. “ This girl is really too much! I didn't object when Quinn decided to get married to her because that was the only way out. You should talk to Quinn more often and don't allow that lowly wench to bewitch him. Quinn is very fickle and almost easy to deceive once he sees a person with a kind heart. ”Tina bit her lip and shrugged her shou
