The early morning sunlight streaming through the tiny gap from the curtain shone on Alexandra's face, stirring her awake. The deep musky scent on the pillow invaded her nostrils making her snuggle closer into it mummering incoherently in her sleep.She held the pillow closer, inhaling the scent in an unladylike manner. She snapped her eyes open when she heard the soft creak of the door indicating that it was being opened.She stood up quickly making her head feel dizzy. The blanket fell off her body, tangling her leg and making her fall off the bed, landing face flat on the floor. Her skin flushed as a wave of embarrassment washed over her.She let out a meek squeak as her body laid on the floor in an ungraceful manner. She pressed her face on the cold hard surface of the tiled floor trying to calm her aching head.After laying on the floor for a moment,she finally pushed herself up trying to steady herself as she was still in her heels from last night. Her eyes moved to the door to s

Alexandra got closer to her apartment with a huge grin playing on her lips. She half skipped and half walked to her apartment,her face bright with excitement. Her smile dropped when she noticed a figure crouched in front of her door.As though noticing her presence,the person looked towards Alexandra's direction, revealing a family face. "Aurora!" Alexandra's voice echoed in the hallway as she saw her friend. She had forgotten the main reason she was worried at first and suddenly she felt like a bad friend for forgetting her friend.Aurora quickly stood up as she rushed towards Alexandra before enveloping her in a very tight hug.Aurora hugged her tightly,not letting go as tears formed in her eyes. "Thank Goodness that you're safe," she breathed out in a shaky voice. "I was so worried when I couldn't find you in the club. I thought… I thought something bad had happened to you."Alexandra patted Aurora's back feeling bad that she had caused her friend so much worry. " I tried to look

Alexandra sat in the very high class restaurant as she waited for Luca. He had sent his driver to pick her up and bring her here. The restaurant was so fancy with a very serene atmosphere. A week ago, Alexandra didn't think that she'd step foot into a fancy restaurant like this today but here she was.She observed the place subtly taking in the magnificent setting. A waiter had asked her what she wanted to eat but she decided to wait for Luca to make the order. The restaurant was empty except for her and the staff. She was glad that no one was around because she was feeling a little self conscious about herself.Hearing footsteps approaching her, Alexandra turned to see Luca walking towards her. His hair was slightly tousled as though he had run his hands through them repeatedly but that didn't do anything to make him less handsome. He smiled as he noticed her looking at him which made her drop her gaze.He sat across from her, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, something…important came

Alexandra was about to say something in response when a loud noise outside distracted her. It seemed like there was a commotion outside the hospital room. They could hear angry voices and hurried footsteps outside in the hallway which was accompanied by the sharp clatter of heels on the marbled floor.Then,the door opened suddenly with a loud and harsh slam revealing a very beautiful woman,her luscious dark hair in perfect waves over her shoulders. Her makeup looked like it was applied expertly by a professional but her face was twisted in anger as she glared at the tiny nurse on the other side of the door."What do you think you're doing by trying to stop me?" The beautiful lady spat out, anger dripping from her voice. "Do you have any idea who I am and what I can do to you?"The nurse looked flustered and appeared like she was about to burst into tears as she tried to calm the angry lady down. "Please Miss, you have to understand. Please —Mr Giorgio really needs to rest. It's very r

Meanwhile, outside the hospital,an angry Adele stomped towards the parking lot, her pointed heels clicking harshly against the pavement. Her Hermes birkin, swinging wildly by her side."What did he mean by fiancee?" She thought out loud.She felt more insulted that she was being replaced by someone beneath her. It felt like a slap on the face that a lowlife like Alexandra was engaged to her supposed to be husband. He has to be joking... I already told all my friends that we were getting married,she said to herself. Her father had promised her that she was going to get married to Luca and she wasn't going to sit back and allow anybody take him from her.Adele released a frustrated hmph, throwing her bag at a nearby trash can,not caring that people were staring at her."Hey,hey, whoa —relax there tiger"A deep voice laced with amusement rang out, and Adele turned around,her eyes in a menacing glare.Marcus Sinclair leaned against the hood of his car casually, his strong arms crossed ov
