Alexa was growing restless again and this time, she decided to go see the silver haired man. She wanted to know anything he could tell her about her mother. After her discussion with her father, she had felt a kind of strong bond with her mother and had wanted to know more.She got up and prepared her children for school. Wayne had helped her get them into a very good school, The Blue Breed School. It was very expensive but Wayne had insisted.'Very well, then', she conceded. 'I shall pay for it. The money I get from my business abroad can conveniently take care of that!''You shall do no such thing', Wayne said. 'What do you take me for? You are my guest... my most honoured first and you want to pay the fees of the children I consider mine? I have raised them from the very first minute they came into the world. You shall offend me greatly of you stop me from doing this for them!' he said unhappily.'You have done so much as it is!' she said, imploringly. 'I cannot continue to burden
'Valerie, what is the meaning of this?' Alexa asked, turning to look at her, and straightening up from her squatting position.'What do you mean?' Valerie asked, still having the smug smile on her face.'You know damn well what I mean, Valerie', she said, her tone rising. 'How can you come here and take Landon away without letting the school authorities know and most of all without my permission?''Were you scared?' she asked, leeringly.Alexa was beginning to lose her cool. 'I am not joking here!' she snapped.'Does it look like I am joking?' Valerie asked, eyes blazing. 'Keep away from Wayne, you do not know what I am capable of!''What are you talking about?' Alexa asked.'And she feigns ignorance!' Valerie said impatiently. 'You are really shameless. You already have two children from a previous relationship and instead of you seeing how you can reconcile with the father of your pups, you are trying to climb your way up by stealing my fiance and you claim you do not know what I am
Alexa looked up to find Wayne standing before them. She recalled Valerie's threat and forgot about everything else. She had to get away from Wayne before Valerie saw them together. She could not risk the life of her children for anyone no matter how good they had been to her 'Wayne, why are you here?' she asked, walking away from him.'Alexa, what's the problem?' Wayne asked. 'And who is this man with you?''Dr. Arnold', she said hastily. 'Doc, I'll see you some other time!' Then she quickly climbed into Wayne's car and shut the door. Wayne followed at a slower pace wondering what the problem was. Why was Alexa a ting so strange?The drive home was long with both of them quiet. Alexa kept her face buried in her phone while Wayne kept stealing glances at her. He wanted to ask her why she was acting as though she was angry with him but her demeanor showed she was not ready to speak to him.'She will reveal what is irking her when she is ready', he consoled himself but it did little to
Alexa did not know what made her go to this particular designing company but she did and after looking through her sketches, 'These are good', the personnel manager said, nodding approvingly. 'but I don't have the final say. Keep your fingers crossed. If the chief designer likes your designs, you shall be invited for an interview'.'Thank you very much, sir', Alexa said, gratefully. 'I shall look forward to the interview'.The manager smiled. 'Please call in the next applicant on your way out!' he said, looking into the resume of the next person.As Alexa left, Prince Hector happened to come out of an inner office and was shocked to see her leaving. He stopped in his tracks. He didn't know why but he just didn't want her to see him. What is SHE doing here?' he thought and at the same time felt excited at seeing her in his company.He watched her leave and entered the personnel Manager's office just as the next applicant was going in.'King Hector', he greeted, waving the applicant a
'We worked hard to get this post. How can someone as inexperience as this get here so fast?' one female colleague said at the office, the next day as Alexa reported for duty and was introduced to the rest of the staff by Mr. Potter. 'But you should know how she got here', another chimed in. 'She must have bribed the boss with her body. How else could a newbie like her acquire such a position of top designer without starting out first as an apprentice designer like we all did!' Her comment made them all laugh. 'If you are going to be in this section for top designers', one of them who was referred to as Miss Elaina Reeds started, 'then you should be ready to work!' Then throwing a heap of files on her desk, she continued, 'Make sure you finish this before close of work today!' Alexa had decided not to rise to their bait by responding to their taunts about her morality but all this work? How was she going to have the time to go pick her children up from school and take them home for
Hector could feel the mate bond pulling him to this strange woman. He wanted to kiss her so badly that he forgot where they were.Alexa must have read the expression in his eyes correctly because she pushed herself upright, away from his arms.'Thanks, King Hector', she said, brushing down her cloth. 'It's my fault. I was rushing out and didn't see you coming in!' What the hell was he doing here? she thought distractedly. She did not want it to be that he came here often. She didn't want any distractions.'I came to see a friend', Hector replied, trying to get himself back under control, as he put both hands into his trousers pockets. 'Hope you don't mind that?' He was not sure why but he didn't want her to know yet that he owned the company.'It is none of my business Sir, who you come to see here', she said, a bit flustered because of the spark of desire she had seen in his eyes and the tiny answering spark she had felt when their bodies came in contact. 'Please excuse me', she said
As Alexa walked home from the office that day, she was feeling exhausted but he kept recalling the boy Lionel. She had been dropping and picking her children to and fro school but had not really come face to face to her son's new friend Lionel but the day she did, she had felt strange. It was as though they shared a connection of some sort. And to further get her flustered, the boy had called her 'mother!' running to her and hugging her. She recalled how shocked she had been but had smiled and looked into the boy's eyes. 'What's your name, little boy?' she asked.'I am Lionel. I am Landon's friend', he said, smiling happily at Alexa. 'You arey mum, aren't you?' he asked confidently.Alexa hated to hurt him but she could not lie to him.'Son, er.. Lionel', she started, trying to choose her words carefully. 'I am not your mother. Your mother must be at home. Do you know it will hurt her to hear you address someone else as your mother?''But she is not my mother', he wailed. 'She does
Lyncan King Hector Spark Harrison could not understand why he was so bothered about the recent behaviour of his son - his insistence that Camellia was not his mother but a strange unknown mother of two who he had never met before starting school. He contemplated taking his son away from that school and putting him in another school but such a sudden change could affect Lionel adversely like the doctor whose advise he had fought had said, and he did not want that for his son at all. But this madness of his, this attachment to this mysterious Lady A must be broken. He would have asked his men to find out all they could about this Lady A, the mother of Landon and Leigh but decided to handle it himself. He was going to go early to the school and speak to the headmistress. The next line of action will be dependent on his findings. Maybe to invite the Lady A to dinner with him and Camellia and their son of course so that the issue of Lionel's maternity will be resolved once for all. It w
