Alice was a bit surprised to see the sender's name "From Valentino". She wasn't expecting this but she kinda knew it was going to be for something anyways. Alice opened the box and unwrapped the surface of the stuff to get a better view of what was inside. Finally, she got to the point where you could see what was inside, and surprisingly it was a lemon strapless dress with some matching jewelry. She couldn't believe that Valentino sent her the dress, so she stood to her feet and dragged the dress ripped out of the box only to see that it was a short dress which made it look sexier and more like her style.

"This looks beautiful" Theo came out screaming from his room."How did Valentino get to pick out something this unique?" Alice turned over to face Theo as he approached her.

    The morning was as quiet as always. Alice woke up with this string of headaches dragging her down each time she tried to get up from her mattress. She couldn't help it so she laid helplessly on her back knowing very well that Theo was going to come wake her once he didn't see her so she waited patiently. Trying not to think back on what had happened yesterday proved to be very difficult so she sat up a bit, stretched her hand to her bedside cupboard, opened the first drawer, and took out a pen & a piece of paper. She wrote down some drugs and kept the paper on top of her bed, knowing that once Theo came in, she could send Theo to help her get it. Right after that, Alice closed her eyes and took a deep breath before turning over to the side.Theo woke up to his dismay, he stood from his bed, walked into the bathroom, took a refreshing bath, and got ready for the day. He stepped out of his room without seeing any signs of Alice anywhere around the house. He thought maybe she was still s

    What was that for?"Alice looked furious at Valentino though she wasn't sure if she was but she knew she needed to be."I can't even explain myself" Valentino looked for the right words on how to explain what just happened out there but he just couldn't fix it."Let's just forget this, okay?" He ran out of the room and back to the hall to get himself in any way a bit distracted from the kiss.Alice was speechless, she didn't know how to react to this" How in the world could someone be so rude to the magnitude that he claims hegemony over his own mistake?" She honestly didn't have a retort to that so she left the room with the query unanswered Hopefully someday those answers will come rushing over to her. She went back to the hall as well only to find her supposed mother-in-law looking for her."Alice, where have you been? I have searched the entire place for you. I hope all is well. Or don't you like your party?."Mrs. Annabelle was ready to do everything just for Alice to be happy. So s

So I raised my head to see what the object was, only to notice they were two pairs of someone's legs. "ALICE?" I wasn't surprised cause I recalled immediately what happened late at night, so I only smiled and then tried to wake her up but Alice being her, merely shaking her couldn't wake her up no matter how hard you called her so I had to push her not intentionally down from the mattress but it happened.

    There was a moment of silence after Alice had mentioned about the dinner with the Fax family to Theo. At this point Theo was speechless, he glanced at Alice for a while before getting his voice back."Will you be in attendance?" That was the only question that could come to Theo's mind right now. He wasn't ready to think because it would only turn out to be disastrous considering his current state of mind."Not having dinner with the Fax family is the deal No she said Hillary Holla was going to be in attendance as well, my question is, As What? Why should he be there?"

Valentino sat still for a while. He tried so much to control his orge of dragging Alice back and kissing the hell out of her as a lesson never to play with fire but he had to avoid creating a scene, shook his head off the thoughts of her.

Not long after he came outside, a black limousine entered the house."Hi, Valentino '' Alice whispered as she saw him come into the car seat beside her. She held a big smile that almost felt fake on her lips, she stared at Valentino for God knows how long and fit what reason. "I think getting to look at a handsome man could help relieve stress."
