Alina's first visitors

Alina spent the night weighing the pros and con of Jordan's proposal it seem that she has a lot to gain in exchange for her freedom which is for her is not easy to give up. Her only concern in relation to freedom is her grandmother. She has to visit her regularly to check on her, and the other is her work. she needs to release every positive or negative emotions through her work. She is quiet uncomfortable to the feeling that she will be lying to the elders, her grandmother and his grandfather.

The next day Alina was ready to make her own conditions to Jordan's proposition. She went down on her plight going down the stairs she heard voices, ad saw suitcases line beside the door. one of the women a tall long legged woman who resemble a crane with her long legs which was emphasized with her black mini skirt and gray crop top she guess to be a model.

"Oh, what do we have here?" she is sizing up Alina from head to foot.

"Please have our suitcases delivered in our respectiive rooms." The other woman a bit older told her with snobbish air. That have Alina shocked she was thinking of her injured foot.

"Excuse me?" She wanted to clarify her position there when the she in turn said.

"Are you dumb?" Which Alina felt insulted she retaliated in turn.

"No, I am not dumb! but if you want your suitcases to be place in your room why don't you do it yourself."

"Why you, Don't you know who I am?" The older woman inquired.

"No, why you? do you know who I am?" Alina challenges she can be easily swayed by people but she won't allow to be insulted.

"How come Jordan employed such an uncooperative and insolent house help." the crane comes to the rescue.

"She is not a house help Madam." Martha came in and defended Alina who is fuming with anger.

"Oh! Martha good your here." The older woman snap.

"Who is this woman who is full of airs refuse to bring our suitcase to our rooms?" The crane said.

"She is not just a random woman..." The crane noticed the presence o Jordan and snaked towards him.

"Oh Jordan! darling it's good to see you, poor you, I was tied to New york that is why I wasn't able to be here when you were in hospital."

"What are you doing here Angela?" So Angela is the name of that Crane. Alina thought.

"Oh, dont be like that, please forgive that i wasn't here to look after you. As I said I was tied to a contract , and I immediately flew here when I was release from it. I'm sorry dear that our last meeting we have to fight."

" As far as I'm concern it stays that way."

"By the way your househelp refuse to bring our suit cases in our room."

"As I said she is not a househelp." Jordan tried to put Angela aside while she is busy running her hands all over Jordan.

"Then who is she, one of your flings? " She said disgustedly look at Alina.

"I can't believe that you lower your standard when it comes to women." Angela mock as if on cue, Alina walk towards them and pull Angela away from Jordan which led the other woman to lose her balance. and fall on the floor. She cried for help to which Hugh obliged.

"I am not the househelp, I am Jordan's wife and if ever I caught you touch my husband I will break your hands." To the suprise of Angela and his aunt. " I don' beleive it!"

"Then believe it because this is the face that you will come to see everytime you step in here or if you have the chance to visit again. Angela recovered and tried to intimedate Alina. beside Angela Alina look like a bantam cock ready to shuffle defending herself.

"That's enough! Hugh bring their cases up and Martha have the breakfast table ready. Alina come with me to the study sweetheart." To which Alina comply but when they were inside the locked room Alina got hold of the vase.

"You never said about a Crane for a girlfriend and a high handed aunt to mess around."

"Relax Angela is not my girlfriend, she just wannabe. Aunt Susana is one of those relatives that I told you to be cunning so you better watch out!"

" Why did I already agree to your proposal?" Alina said wanting to change her mind.

"By stepping in and defending your honor as my wife you have seal our ageement, and I say you pass with flying colors. please put that vase down, we will have no more vase if you keep throwing things around."

"Ha! If was not disgusted with that Crane I would not be force in accepting this situation." she already in the process of returning the vase back to its place when she heard him say,

"Why are you disggusted with her ?Are you Jealous of how she took liberty in touching me?"

"Jealous my foot! Im not jealous she disgust me because she said I am an incompetent house help!" she defended but the grip on the vase tighten.

"Don't worry from now on she won't be able to do that, and as my wife you

have the priviledge of running your hands all over me." And the vase fly aiming at Jordan's head. it crash on the floor breaking into pieces.

"Alina! that was my grandmother's vase you broke!" Jordan was very quick to dock to avoid the flying vase.

"Keep on pissing me off Jordan one of this days I'm gonna hit that pompous head of yours!" Alina said furiously.

"That's a development we are in a first name basis it is not really that hard to call me sweetheart or Honey or love or..."

"Stop It!" Alina tried to control herself when she heard a knock on the door.

"Yes!" Jordan was still wearing that grin on his face.

"Breakfast is ready sir!" Hugh's voice sounded from the other side of the door.

" Come on wheel me out , and wipe that anger on your face I was just kidding." Alina waited for further comment but Jordan was quiet and Alina cannot see the emotion on his face. If she does she would have seen the happiness on his face which seldom appeared.

When they were in the breakfas table, the tension was felt by the ones present. Susana speak in an effort to break the tension.

"Oh by the way Jordan you never mentioned you have a girlfriend and you were getting married it's so sudden."

"Alina and I had been dating for quiet sometime. I was ready to introduce her to grandpa but her granny is old fashioned, quite consevative. She didn't trust me to bring her away so we married secretly to appease her grandma. And we will be leaving tomorrow to visit grandpa and make plans for the grand wedding ceremony."

"What!" Alina silently reacted. this man never ceases to surprised her.
