Alex:I winced. So he knows? "Is there a problem?" I couldn't hide the smile, tugging at my lips. "Are your out of your mind? You're making this worse than it already is! I won't let you mess with my woman, do you understand?" "Dude, chill. I'm not trying to mess with anyone. But if I were, I'd probably start by using a better pickup line than 'you're messing with my woman'." I replied and I heard the sound of a glass shattering. "You're a fucking idiot, do you know that? You think you can just hurt me and get away with it? You're messed up, Alex. Seriously messed up.""Stay away from her!!!Stay away from Louisa, or you'll have to deal with me. And trust me, you don't want that."My face twisted into a snarl, but Ryan just continued. "You think you're the best? You think you can intimidate me? Newsflash: you're not even the least of my problems. You're none of my business but Louisa is. And I'll do whatever it takes to protect her."" I won't let what happened to Adeline and Melisa
Alex:I stirred the pasta sauce, watching as Jade and Jasper chattered excitedly at the kitchen table. I enjoyed being around my two beauties. They're so innocent and sweet. I didn't want to think much of the meeting with Marcus Thompson, so I offered to help Louisa take care of things. I wonder why she's so against getting a maid. It's not easy being a single mom. She can afford an experienced housekeeper so what's holding her back.For now... I'm her housekeeper and I really don't mind. I was preparing dinner. "Dad, can we have garlic bread?" Jade asked, her big eyes sparkling with childish innocence. It melts my heart when she unintentionally calls me 'Dad' - it's the sweetest slip-up! If only she knew it was true."Of course, kiddo," I replied, smiling. "I've already got it in the oven."Jasper high-fived Jade, and they both cheered. I chuckled, feeling grateful for these moments with my kids. Being a single mom wasn't always easy, I can't see it in Louisa's eyes. But I'm here
General:Alex stared at him stunned; Ryan shrugged.Finally he let it out. That's the reason he wants Louisa. At first, he was just attracted to her , the day they met in the hospital. But she was going through hell and dealing with her divorce, so he didn't try making any advances. Once that was over, he decided to go after her. The fact she's his rival ex wife makes it more hot. Imagine taking her away from his shitty ex best friend. Wouldn't that be a big win? No...That would be crazy ASF!And Ryan would love to revel in his misery. He's not stopping anytime soon. It's so obvious, Louisa likes him a lot. He's seen enough to make that conclusion. He's winning this time around – again.He finally relaxed, knowing that's he's got the cards well. Heck didn't he just propose to her? And using his mom's 'cancer', Louisa would readily agree. He's being dirty right now but it's worth it. Louisa would never know and even if she did, it'll be too late to change it, they'll be married al
General: Two days later.The luxurious conference room was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a soothing ambiance. Renowned businessman, Marcus Thompson, stood at the head of the table, a warm smile on his face. He is fifty years old but his looks belie his age. He looks surprisingly young and fit. And that's what's breathtaking about him. Ladies still flock around him. Ryan and Alex got an email from him and they were shocked about it. The greatest Marcus Thompson needs them? Once they got in, the looks of displeasure was evident on their faces. They didn't even try to conceal their anger? Why both of them? Alex felt disenchanted immediately but he kept his killer, perfect smile on. But if looks could kill, Ryan would be six feets under."Welcome, gentlemen," Marcus said, his voice booming through the room. "I'm glad you could make it. Please, take a seat."Ryan, dressed in a tailored suit, flashed a charming smile as he took his seat. Alex, on the other hand, lo
General: Louisa's eyes darted wildly around the smoke-filled room, her heart racing with terror. The flames licked at the walls, casting flickering shadows on the floor. She was begining to sweat crazily, her lungs burning from the thick smoke.If she didn't know well, she'd think that this was a set up. Ryan just left and not long, a fire broke out. How does that even happen?"How did this happen?" she thought, her mind reeling in panic. "Oh goodness! Somebody help me! Oh goodness!" Why isn't the fire alarm going off?Was she going to die?Someone has dragged her into the room. Who the fuck was that? There's no way she imagined those warm fingers wrapped around her arm, pulling her and forcefully shoving her into a burning room and lthen ocking her in.Could it be...No!But could it? Could it be Melisa??What If she's the one? What if she let her jealousy her the better of her and decided to finally get rid of Louisa? She didn't see Melisa leave to Las Vegas and, she's the only o
Louisa:We arrived at the mall soon. Alex wasn't really happy with it. In fact, he didn't even talk to me, only focusing on the kids. And when Ryan arrived he was upstairs doing whatever.I sighed. I've been having this guilty feeling all the time, anytime Ryan's involved. Why? Is it because I'm finally replacing my ex husband that has been relentlessly chasing me back? Surely not!The mall was devoid if costumers. Since I love privacy more than anything, I suggested we book it for the day. Ryan readily agreed.The huge mall is the most popular in San Francisco. Since we finally agreed to get married. It's time to get closer. Every single thing we wanna do would be done as couples. I didn't mind. More time away from Alex. "You seem lost." Ryan observed and I smiled fakely. "You do shop right?" "Honestly..no. I don't really think I've really done any serious shopping," I said truthfully." I could afford all the pleasures of life and fun, but keeping to myself is better than anything
