Since it was a huge banquet that night, there were many glamorous celebrities and models attending. Even the waitresses were gorgeous, creating a sea of beautiful women. Nevertheless, the moment Alexandra showed up on stage, her peerless beauty made all the other women make way for her, especially with that look of jubilation on her face. Her smile had a hint of temptation that could make any man fall head over heels for her!Undeniably, the world was not fair. There were some people born with silver spoons in their mouths. Not only were they born into the upper class, but they had exquisite features that could attract the attention of anyone. An example of such a person would be Alexandra because, at that very moment, she was the highlight of the entire event, the one and only star of the show.Because of her appearance, the large banquet hall momentarily fell silent as almost everyone stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on her!Alexandra was wearing a milk-whi
‘I initially thought that I’d be able to conquer everything I want to and build a glorious career with my return. However, I never thought that I’d meet failure after failure instead, not to mention the number of times I’ve had to feel aggrieved!’The more he thought about it, the more furious Nathan became. Then, he fiercely picked up his glass and gulped down half his alcohol.The moment Alexandra appeared from backstage, her smile had never disappeared even once. In fact, it gradually became even wider as she began to scan through the crowd in search of Zayn. She knew that her actions were a little inappropriate and that she should remain stoic and calm. However, she really could not hold it in anymore. She just could not wait to see Zayn.Furthermore, during her search, her gaze landed on the eyes of many men, instantly causing them to feel excited. This was especially true for those young men who thought that they were very attractive. Each and every one of them seemed to have
However, after they looked at their surroundings, they still could not find a young man who was especially handsome.As for Zayn, he was immediately ignored the moment they glanced at him. However, the reason for that was none other than Zayn being simply too ordinary and not standing out at all. Therefore, none of them were able to imagine a wealthy woman actually taking a fancy to such an ordinary person.Based on that fact, they quickly retracted their gazes without thinking too much and refocused their attention.Victor seemed to be in an especially good mood that day as his face was beaming with joy.He took over the host’s mic and faced the entire crowd as he began to speak, “Everyone, it’s an honor to have all of you so graciously come here to be at my daughter’s engagement banquet…”Victor was a successful businessman, hence the words he spoke were of very high standards as he very fluently delivered his speech. Furthermore, his speech made everyone feel comfortable as it
When the group of them entered the banquet hall, they managed to attract the attention of the crowd who began to turn their heads to look behind them. Then, they all saw William who was beaming with brilliance and instantly had a shocked expression on their faces. Shortly after that, someone shouted out, “William is here!”Although that person did not shout very loudly, many people were able to hear him since the banquet hall was completely silent at that moment, so they turned over to look in William’s direction with a few sloppy gazes. Zayn was also one of those affected. When he heard the commotion, he turned to look over and soon saw William. Then, he squinted his eyes slightly.‘William really is quite lucky. That kick didn’t end his life, and he’s even able to run over here to attend the engagement banquet?’Soon, Zayn immediately saw that William was actually just putting up a strong front. ‘His body’s so weak that he’s barely hanging on a thread.‘Although William’s put o
William became even more excited at the thought of that and paced even quicker. His once weakened body had now returned to being normal. Furthermore, everyone had literally disappeared in his eyes, leaving only Alexandra who was in front of him.Finally, he arrived before her as he revealed a smile he thought portrayed his handsomeness and deep emotions the most. “Alexandra, I’m sorry for being late. You look really, really beautiful today.”Undeniably, William was actually very handsome as he was dressed in his white suit, making him look taller with a different temperament than usual. Based on his appearance, he did really seem to be a good match for Alexandra. They appeared to be a really compatible couple.However, it was a pity that Alexandra was not attracted to him at all and did not even have any good impression of him for that matter. Therefore, there was not a trace of a smile on her face as she coldly said, “Are you saying that I haven’t been pretty other than today then?
William forced himself to crack into a smile. He was a very egoistic person, hence regardless of whether Alexandra was joking or not, her previous sentence caused him to lose face. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I know that Alexandra loves to joke around. So, since I’m going to be marrying her, of course, I’m going to have to be more forgiving of her. How could I possibly take it to heart?”However, when William said, “Take it to heart,” he did not say it convincingly enough and revealed the unhappiness he had within. Nevertheless, there was nothing that Victor could say to refute since it was his daughter who was wrong in the first place. Therefore, he could only force himself to smile and comment no further. However, Alexandra immediately said something to make the scene even more awkward than it already was!“Who says that I was joking? I’m serious,” she said with a straight face. Then, she told Victor, “Daddy, haven’t I told you that I’ve already got a boyfriend? Plus, he’s even here
”I demand an explanation, Victor!”Tony’s features were extremely twisted as he shot Victor a death stare, seeming like he intended to blow his top at any moment.William also had a ferocious expression on his face as his cast turned completely red. Anyone would be able to see that he was already on the verge of a breakdown and was a literal barrel of dynamite that would explode at the slightest spark.Even Victor, who had experienced all sorts of tough situations before, could not help but feel his head itch as he felt anxious momentarily. However, there was nothing that he could do to turn the situation around since they were in the wrong in the first place. It was already a marriage that had been decided beforehand, yet Alexandra had just declared that she had a boyfriend. Therefore, if this did not mean that William had been cheated on, then it would be a tight slap on the Smiths’ faces!‘Honestly, I would’ve never thought that Alexandra would be so naughty and disobedient. How
“What do you mean, Dad? Since when have I ever been a difficult child to mind? Look, this is my marriage. Can’t I make a decision on something that will affect the rest of my entire life?” Alexandra retorted as a lump ballooned in her throat. Her eyes darted in the direction where Zayn was, hopeful that he would rise up and stand on her side when she needed him the most.To her horror, Zayn was gone though she had no idea where to.‘B-b-but…! Where’s Zayn? He was here just a moment ago! How could he be gone now?’ Her mind flailed from the disappearance and she panicked. She started looking around in earnest, hoping that she could locate the man, but he might as well have faded into thin air, never to be seen again.How could this have happened? Had Zayn abandoned her and skedaddled on his own?Alexandra’s first instinct was to leap off the stage and look for him. If he had vanished, she would be left hard-pressed on what to do right now.She did not know that unbeknownst to hersel
