Of course, the fee wasn’t cheap either since the distance between the city and the land was a bit far.I did my best to hide behind the tall white fence that had a good distance from the entrance gate of the mansion, once their cars were all lined up neatly at the front there were at least a hundred men dressed in black suits holding guns.A gasp escaped from my lips, I instantly covered my mouth with my hand because I made a grave mistake when spyingNever make a soundNo matter how scary it is, just don’t make a damn sound because the moment you make a sound you’re life is next on the line.Mama, what the hell did you do when yo
I shake my head in confusion "Why?" What I am wearing on my head right now is supposed to be worth millions from how many pearls there are. I am not lying that I'm afraid that I might break my headband from moving too much, if I lose one pearl the value will go down. Alex glanced at me and gave me an award-winning smile "It's a symbol that you're our landlady" "Then you should've just gifted me a brooch or something, not an expensive headband that is made with real pearls!" I exclaimed while simultaneously removing the headband carefully on my head. He puts a hand under his chin "That could be arranged, what design of brooch do you want?" I groa
Alex brought me home by sunset since he bought us food from an expensive restaurant, I swear the food portions are on a diet and the price is crazy.Alex although was close friends with the owner of that restaurant so we get a lot of big portions"You wouldn't be the owner of that restaurant, do you?" I asked him as a joke while his eyes were glued on the road"If I did say yes would you believe me?" He replied"Are you?" Lily asked him from the back seat while looking out of the window. I gave him a curious look which he ignoredHe chuckled "If you like the food there so much you have the money from my monthly rent in your bank account, you can easily buy off the place and hire the chefs''
"Lily, what are we doing here?" I asked Lily while we hid behind the big plant box, Ray was waiting at the fountain looking around for his dateLily's mother didn't notify him because Lily requested itA huge smug look has spread across her small face "Giving a taste of his own medicine. I remember that he used to make you wait long and in the end, he didn't come to your date"It was years ago that he would always be late for our date as a habit, I admit I was hurt by it a lot of times until I heard him cheating on me so I broke it off immediately. Lily pulled out her phone from her bag and snapped a shot of him in her phone before I could hear her tapping on the phone keyboard.I looked over her shoulder and my eyes widened "Lily why are you send
I almost choked on my food "You? A husband material?" Whoever marries Alex would be the most stressed person on earth, I might start to have gray hair if I spend time with this guy since I'm gonna watch over him according to Mama's will He leaned close to my face and gave me a proud smirk "Aren't you being a bit mean to your dear old friend?" he raised my chin with the tip of both of his fingers Using that old trick, it's not gonna work on me For Alex, using his charms to manipulate a girl's decision is his specialty. I have seen all of his tricks and I told myself I would never fall for his simple manipulation, his silver eyes gazed down at me Some people would associate silver ey
I'm back home after I was brought here by Lee and Patrick, the entire house was quiet and I didn't even bother playing some music so this silence disappears.This is my house but it didn't feel like home anymoreMy legs ache from how much I've walked today so I went to the bathroom that was in my bedroom so I could shower, I removed my clothes and threw them in the hamper that was located at the corner near the door. The hot water from the shower went down on my body and my tense body finally relaxed.Who knew that there were hundreds or even thousands of men that were living on my land, why didn't Mama tell me about this?Moreover, why did she hide this from me?they wouldn't do illega
"You look happy from a singe rose" I was startled by a male voice that suddenly erupted from behind me, I turned my head to see Alex with hands in his pocketsI look at the rose that was in my hand as I try not to get pricked by the thorns "I didn't know you were into roses" I teased himHe tilted his head "I don't""Then why-" "These are requested by Mama" he eyes the garden full of rosesI guess that makes sense, Mama loves roses that she even has a vase at home where she puts roses in it and replaces it with fresh ones every three days"She told me that you love roses so I ordered rose seeds from a foreign country because she said it would be nice to have her favorite flower planted on the land t
Alex let me in his home office and gave me a glass of juice to calm my nerves down, the men in suits were too afraid to approach me that they asked Jason to hand the Juice on the tray to me. I was sitting in the office in front of the desk while I stare at the men.Alex was sitting on his office chair with a huge grin on his face but the atmosphere in the room was heavy but it didn't affect me "So what brings you here Bea?" his silver eyes went to me, not only he was looking at me but I felt like he was observing my every move.I finished the glass of juice before I told him "Mama has passed away" I told him in almost a quiet toneHe didn't seem to believe my words that he blinked multiple times in a row "Could you repeat that again for me Bea? I think I misheard you"
Both Jason and Lee refused to accept the news that Mama was dead, it seems like Jason was more affected that he stood up immediately and leave. I don't know what has gotten into him but Lee apologizes to me on his behalf before running out to run after him.I heard a buzz from my phone and I checked that it was a notification from my so-called Aunt Polly, she told me that she has the right to inherit the 1000-acre land as she was the next eldest next to my Dad and that she must be the one who must inherit it since I'm only the granddaughter.She said I was supposed to be the last person to inherit the landThere were even small threats in her messages that she was gonna call a lawyer about inheritance rights but I don't have the heart to tell her that I inherited the land based on Mama's will
Someone kept snapping their fingers in front of my face breaking me from my trance, it was Genevieve who was one of my employees who worked in this well-known coffee shop at the downtown area.“Your mind has been floating so much that your hot friend has been staring at you for the past 5 minutes” she handed me a sandwich with a glass of juice from the kitchen, I took a bite and searched the shop where is this hot friend that Genevieve was pertaining to. My eyes landed on Alex who was near the window drinking his cup of coffee.His sharp silver eyes greeted mine and I felt like the way he gazes at me feel so heavy.What is he doing here?He wasn’t wearing anything flashy; he only wore plain black sweater and sweatpants, yet he has many eyes glued on him. I’m not gonna complain and ask him why he is here because with him just sitting there brings more customers in which help in sales even if my shop was already famou
