I've done what I can; now it's let's see how you handle the situation and reassure your worried family.'Andrew rubbed his forehead, seeing all the family members looking at him tentatively."This isn't Alice, right, Andrew? John asked first, with some hope."She is Alice, but... Andrew replied truthfully, but was cut off by Benjamin."Oh, she must be acting. Somebody pranked us by sending the click of her movie scene, right?" Benjamin said this and looked at Andrew.Andrew nodded his head."No?""No, it's not. He is Mason Rex, her ex."Andrew was again cut off by John."I see, it's an old picture with an ex; let's slide the matter then. Everybody has their past."The entire family looked at each other, nodded their heads, and sighed."But grandpa......." Andrew was spilling the beans, but John didn't let him talk."Andrew, please identify the person responsible fo

Alice said it with remorse."Oh, I see, then, what made you reveal this now, publicly?""I am compelled." Alice replied with a lot of thoughts.She was actually pushed by Mason to take this drastic step to control his wildness, but she was still hesitant to make her private life public."Compelled? That's shocking. Can you elaborate, please?""Ahh, I never imagined to bring this stuff of my life in front of an audience of the country, but I went through so much lately, which I am not comfortable disclosing.""I just want to warn them through this channel about those who take advantage of their partner's blind trust in them. To be noted, it's not only for men but for women as well. Cheating was never a compulsion but an option.""Even if your love fades, never betray your partner. Deception i

"You can consider me an orphan." Alice answered to Marie, which stunned everybody."What?" "An orphan?""How could that be?"A soft tumult broke out."I'm unable to comply with that request. You have cousins; surely, you must have family and relatives. I want to meet them," Marie asserted firmly."They might be somewhere in the world, but I am not interested in knowing their whereabouts, nor am I pleased to talk about it, please." Alice said sternly:Everybody was taken aback. For the first time, they found Alice rude; otherwise, she was always polite, even against Martin and Sophie's many harsh remarks. She didn't blow up."Alice, why are you getting upset at the mention of your own parents?" Bella asked."Don't you have any sour points in your life that you hate to even think about?" Alice said and darted a quite cynical glare at everyone, then resumed eating."Irrespective of the situation, they're still your parents. Even if you've cut ties, I'm sure they weren't thrilled about i

Bella mumbled to herself and closed her eyes.When the sun rose, Alice opted for a baby white silk blouse and a striking red pencil skirt. She tied her hair into a chic high ponytail and completed her look with gracefully simple yet sophisticated formal jewelryAs she applied some final touch-ups, Andrew emerged from the dressing room in a sharp navy blue suit. He quietly approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist in a tender back embrace.Alice pouted. "Andrew, let go of me; you will ruin my makeup.""So be it; your bare face looks much prettier." Andrew said and pecked her right cheek.Alice let out an exasperated sigh. "This is making me cringe." She moved away from him and hurriedly finished her makeup."What made you romantic early in the morning?""I am seizing the time I ha

'Do as I said, then hit me up.' She sent a text to the goon and switched off her phone.Alice's eyes darted around with a hint of concern as she tried to speed through this secluded area. But, out of the blue, a rapid suv pulled up in front of her car, forcing her to abruptly hit the brakes. The sudden stop resulted in an unsettling jolt for everyone inside."What the heck..." Bella mumbled and looked out of the window.The six body-bulit guys, with long hair, beards, and tattoos all over their bodies, jumped out and approached them. They seemed like thugs.Bella and Alice were petrified while exchanging a look, but Alice pulled herself together."Don't come out." Alice locked all the doors and was exiting, but Bella held her hand."Alice, don't step out; they don't seem like local hooligans.""Don't sweat it; it's going to be ok. Fortunately, they don't look loaded," Alice assumed, getting out of the car.The ruffians pounded on Bella and her nurse's door, but they paid no attention

"Surprise?" Andrew raised his eyebrows."No, you tend to shock me." Alice said, patting her fast-beat heart over her chest."It's a token of appreciation. You nailed it today, and I was busy with foreign delegates all the day to even congratulate you.""Hmm, I am moved." Alice said. She moved the stuff toy to the other side and scooted over to him."What's with the whole power-girl theme?" she inquired, slipping her hands around his arm, resting her head on his shoulder, and giving the toy a playful jab."This reminds me of you, my powerful girl."
