A Coincidental Marriage 14
I let out a yawn as I changed into my working attire. It seems Alexander is still upset with me because he hasn't said a word. It's been two days now, but mostly I think it's because he went out on a supposed business trip. I can't say he's lying because I don't know anything about his schedule."Alexandria, can you go check on the customer who just walked in? I really need to pick up this call, it's an emergency," she looked at me, waiting for a reply."Okay, sure," I said softly and left the room to go attend to the customer. Time for me to start smiling."Welcome to Crystal's Boutique," I said with a huge smile on my face. He turned, showing me his perfect smile."Alexandria, I didn't expect to find you here," he said in his husky Spanish accent. Today he was in casual attire, and he really looked handsome."I work here," I told him as I glanced around the place to avoid his intense gaze.His phone rang, ending the awkward silence between us. He picked it up, his eyes on me, "I wil

I let out a yawn as I opened my eyes and stretched my body, wondering what time I fell asleep yesterday."I don't know, but you left me hanging last night," he said as he placed the tray on the bedside table.He's here? What is he doing here? "Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked him, noticing he was dressed in a three-piece charcoal grey suit."How can I go to work when my wife is still asleep, hasn't had her breakfast yet, and has an hour and forty-five minutes to prepare for work?" he said with a playful smile on his face.I threw the comforter aside and rushed to the bathroom while he was busy laughing. I fixed my hair one last time and left my room, only to find Alexander standing in the living room with his back to me. I thought he left for work."Why are you still here?" he turned, his eyes roaming down my body."I was waiting for you. Now that you're done, shall we get going?" he asked me as he checked the time on his watch."Why the special treatment all of a sudden?" I crossed

"His only with you because of a business deal that he's about to close. For that to happen, he needs to be married, and that's where you come in."Those words won't stop ringing in my head. I have to stop thinking about it, but how can I when I get to see him every day, and it hurts so much? Hazel insisted we spend the night at their place, which we did. I don't know about Xavier, but I slept in his old room."Good morning, Mom," I told her, earning a wide smile from her that quickly turned into a glare when I got my milkshake from the refrigerator."Okay, okay, I'm putting it back," I said and sat down."Good girl. Let's go have our normal breakfast, and then you can have your ridiculous breakfast," she scrunched up her face as if it was something disgusting."Good morning, Mr. Romano," I told him as I pulled out a chair for me to sit."Good morning, Alexandria, though I prefer you call me Dad. What do you think?" he asked me with a smile on his face."I think it's okay, Dad."I decid

"Grandma, come on, you've helped me enough. I can't take this," I tried to tell her, but I guess she won't listen to me."No, no, sweetheart, this is not enough. Trust me, and besides, this place is good, and that way, I can be assured that you're safe," she glanced around the place."But, grandma, you already helped me set up the restaurant. In fact, you did most of the work," I said with a frown on my face."And that's my work, sweetheart. Now, this is your new house," she said in a cheerful voice. I like this free side of her; she acts like a teenager, a 60-year-old teenager, for that matter. I smiled at that thought."Hey, Gran, your daughter hates me so much, and I thought you hated me too, but surprisingly you love me," I said, only for her to smack on my forehead. "Ouch, what was that for?" I asked her as I rubbed my forehead."That was to knock some sense into your head," she shook her head. "Silly girl, that's my daughter and not me. If she doesn't like you, that's her loss, n

Is this it I should stop him but what if he's letting me go cause he doesn't love me oh Alexandria you will never know if you don't take the risk just stop him already "Alexander" I yelled. He closed the door and came rushing to me "what happened Alexandria are you hurt?" he asked as he examined my body for any injuries. "No I'm not I don't want you to go I forgave you for what you did okay what really hurt me is that you never bothered to check up on me but now that you are here I don't want you to leave but if you want to its okay you can go" I said all in one breath. He opened his mouth to say something but I beat him to it "I completely understand if you don't want to be with me and you want to be with Elena if she makes you happy then I'm happy too" I glanced at him only to find him smiling. "Why are you smiling I know I sound like a fool but you don't have to be so mean about it forget I said anything you should get going its getting late." He gently held my hand and chuckl

Beep Beep Beep.Ugh, I groaned in annoyance. Why now? I reached for my phone and switched it off, then went back to sleep. Well, I tried to, but then I remembered my mom would be furious if I missed breakfast—apparently, she hates it when people don't follow her rules.I forced myself to get out of my bed and prepared myself for breakfast, both physically and emotionally. I left my room and went downstairs. I found they had already settled. I ignored the other eyes, looking at me, and sat down on the other side of the table. I was about to start eating when my mom spoke up, completely ruining my appetite. She just had to do this in the morning."She finally woke up. I completely forgot you were joining us for breakfast, so I didn't include you," she gave me a bitter smile."Oh, okay. I will go get something to eat then," I pushed the plate forward."Of course, you go do just that. Apparently, it's the only thing you are good at," she rolled her eyes."Not today, Mom. Please, can't we

The moment I saw Mrs. Williams' car, I decided to go visit my boyfriend to avoid arguing with her. Come to think of it, we haven't spent much time together. He's been busy lately, and I didn't want to bother him or anything. Sometimes, I would sleepover at his place or Emily's when my mom and I argued.David and I have been dating for the past two years, but we haven't been spending much time together because he's been very busy lately. Ever since his dad made him CEO, things haven't been the same.I arrived at his penthouse; the guards let me in, but they didn't look me in the eye as I said hi. They looked worried and concerned instead. Something is wrong, but I will ask them on my way out.The moment the door opened, my breath hitched for a second. What is she doing here? How could he do this to me? I looked at the blonde right in front of me, who was none other than my sister. Why is she wearing his shirt? He never allowed me to put on his shirt. If I put it on without his consent,

:Three days, and for three days, I've been looking for a job, but I couldn't find one. Well, I did find one at first, but I was fired on the first day because my caring sister decided to cause trouble. I just don't know what's wrong with that girl. Because I lost my job, Mrs. Williams wouldn't stop talking about it, but I won't give them a chance to rule my life. I really don't know what to do, but I know one thing for sure—I won't give up. I will keep on trying."Ugggh, why is it so damn hard to find a job?" I left my room and went to the kitchen. I looked around just to make sure none of my family members were home. I don't want to talk to them. I sat down on the kitchen bar stools, trying to decide what I was going to have for breakfast, then my stupid brother showed up, and my appetite flew out the window. I mentally rolled my eyes and decided to leave before he opens his mouth and says something stupid."Victoria, just stop pretending and accept the fact that you're nothing with
