Alexander POV: -"Ahem. Shall we continue? "Jason cleared his throat interrupting us."..........I still don't understand why me chatting with another woman like that has anything to do with this?" I totally forgot that we were in a meeting and that guy was still ranting."I just wanted to ask if you are so against our marriage as you think it's not perfect then why are you cheating on your wife? And that's not it, as far as I know you have a younger sister who is married and have a kid with her boyfriend and they got a breakup but that didn't seem to affect you, then why this? What the real reason Mr. Sean?" I said in a firm tone. Everyone's eyes were on him only waiting for question to be answered. He looks at everyone, gulp down a bit, "I was jealous." he whispered."I am sorry what? We didn't hear you." I spoke."I AM JEALOUS OF HER, OKAY. I AM JEALOUS OF HER INTELLIGENCE, HER SUCCESS, HER BOLDNESS OUT COMING OUT LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF EVERYONE." Sean said pointing at Samantha."Sh

Emily's POV: -"Samantha is taking it harder on herself than I thought." I was lying in bed with Adom, with our fingers intertwined."She is a very sensitive person when it comes to topics like this, you know that. Why did you tell her anyway?" Adom said running his fingers in my hair. "I didn't want to, but he was trying to talk to me for a while. So that day before you came and told the truth about Samantha's mother's death, she made me spill whatever I was hiding. You know, she is my friend and it's really hard to ignore her big doe puppy eyes. I had no choice!!" I said in my defense. "I can understand Em. But she is taking it very hard, I guess it will take time before she can forgive herself for hurting your feelings unintentionally." he said."I guess so too Adom, you should have seen her face when I told her that I was in love with Alexander. She was shocked at first, but soon that shock expression changes into sadness and then guilt. She cried her eyes out and kept on saying

Alexander's POV: -"Hey Zee, what's up?""I am good Alex how about you?"It was days after the final judgement of the court when Jace's mother was sentenced as lifetime imprisonment. Samantha's father did realize his mistake and apologized to her later, but it was of no use. I was on the phone with one of my friend Zia, she was in charge of the prison where Jace's mother was."I am good too Zee, so.... are you taking care of the person I told you about?" I asked her."Yeah Alexander, I am taking extra special care of her. Don't you worry about it, I know my job very well. "She said. I am pretty sure she was smirking at this time."I know Zee, but please don't overdo it just like the last time you did. Just take care of her as I have asked about." I said with a worried tone."Don't worry, she is getting just a bit more of what she did to your soon to be wife." As soon as she mentions Samantha as my wife, I could feel my face getting heated up a bit.I giggle a bit."Stop blushing like a

A stream of smoke slipped past dry, cracked lips. The smell of cigarettes prominent in the air as it stained every wall of the silent apartment. It was overwhelming, and only the smell of alcohol could be smelled alongside it.Alexander picked up the glass bottle of golden whiskey and drank straight from it. The cool liquid burned his throat leaving his tongue slightly numb and eyes watery. He continued to drink more than one-third of the bottle in just that sitting. The alcohol left his mind hazy and blank for the first time in weeks.The permanent image of Samantha's broken eyes and quivering lips gone. Alexander let out a sigh of relief, the painful past memory no longer tormenting him. It was a little easier to breathe.Samantha leaves for some business trip with Jason. Telling him when she came back, they will prepare for the marriage ceremony. Alexander wants to feel happy but he can't.A part of Alexander didn't want to forget even for a little while. He deserved to feel even a

Samantha cocks her head to the side. "Yes, he came home very tired some days. But not recently. Does he have help now?""Moni," Nam corrects, nodding at a couple who walks past them. He turns back to Samantha. "Her name is Moni. She's not exactly an assistant. She works under Sam, in another department, but she's got talent, so we thought we could make her help out in other areas.""That's nice," Samantha says, though she feels the hairs on her nape standing out.There's a lull in the conversation, Nam shakes hands with a bald guy that approaches them. Samantha smiles politely, introduces herself. The guy compliments him and says Alexander is very hard-working. Samantha thanks him. He goes."I'll ask Alexander to introduce us, then," Samantha says.Nam looks confused. "Hn?""Here, babe," Alexander comes back, a glass of cold water in his hand."Thanks," Samantha takes it from him, taking a couple gulps and smiling back at him."What were you two talking about?" Alexnader asks, hand ret
