Bound By Paper Hearts Another Meeting
The next morning, the moment Andrew woke up, he dialed Alice's number, oblivious to the fact that she was back and sleeping in her room."What's wrong, Andrew? Why are you calling me early in the morning?"Alice walked into his room donning a pink-colored Power Puff Girls printed pajama, holding a white velvet panda-print comforter and cutely rubbing her eyes."Home already? When did you arrive?" Andrew marveled at the adorable sight."Last night, an hour after you," Alice said sleepily, making her way to his bed. She cleared a space beside him and lay down."You could have come along," Andrew commented, shifting to accommodate her."I was there, but then her parents showed up, so I left to avoid overcrowding the hospital room," Alice babbled, drifting off to sleep."Why didn't you come to me?""You were sound asleep, so I didn't want to disturb you," her drowsy voice whispered."Are you still sleepy?" Andrew inquired.Alice bobbled her head in slumber."Alright, sleep well." Andrew pl
Bound By Paper Hearts New Entry
Alice considered turning him away, but resigned to endure it for the last time. With her impending marriage to Andrew, relief was on the horizon-soon, she wouldn't have to tolerate Mason's presence.In the secluded basement 5, void of onlookers, she glimpsed Mason in the distance. Approaching him, she demanded, "What's the reason for dragging me here? What more do you want?" Mason responded by hurling a phone at her, causing her to flinch, yet she managed to catch it.Examining the screen, she was startled to find a slideshow featuring pictures of her and Andrew. Realization struck: Mason had been surveilling her all along."How could you betray us, Alice, after more than 3 years together?" Alice clenched her fist, rallying herself."Why would you do this? Explain," Mason demanded, seizing her arm and pinning her against his black gypsy. "Speak up.""Mason, you're hurting me," Alice protested, attempting to break free, but Mason's grip only tightened."Am I hurting you, or is it the ot
Bound By Paper Hearts Andrew Persuaded
"I've remained true to myself all along. Neither have I altered my ways, Dad, nor have you. That's precisely why I've made the decision to move out, relinquishing the opportunity for you to witness my life.""No, not at all. The person you used to be never disrespected Dad. This change occurred after you married that actress," Martin raised his voice again. Alice and the doctor stood by, silently overhearing the unfolding conversation."Enough with the cliché in-law behavior, Dad. You both went too far last night," Andrew asserted, and Alice visibly reacted.'How did he learn about last night when I never said a word to him? Ahh, it must be Bella. Why did she have to reveal everything?' Alice fidgeted with her fingers, consumed by nervousness.The young doctor positioned himself beside Alice, scrutinized her, and then gestured towards the closed door with his forefinger. "Are they discussing you?""No, absolutely not," Alice hesitated, fabricating her response."You're not being honest

"You are good for nothing, you idiot. I wasted my money on you."The accomplice of Monica yelled at a guy furiously."Ma'am, I did as you said. The guy replied fawningly."What did you do? I informed you about Alice and Mason's secret meeting in the basement, and you even got late." The caller yelled again."I got late because I was at work, but I still clicked Alice Cooper's intimate pictures with Mason Rex and immediately sent them to Andrew Kingston." The guy retorted. He got annoyed."Was it worth it?" Alice and Andrew exited the hospital hand in hand, heading to their lunch meeting together. The caller clenched her fist in frustration."Andrew trusts his wife; it is not my fault. That was my last assignment, and I am not going to work for you anymore."It was a loathsome assignment, one the individual had no inclination to pursue, but he exonerated himself."You can't get rid of it. You still have many things to do for me and..."The guy didn't listen further and disconnected the
Bound By Paper Hearts Behind the Questions
'Andrew, while you may trust your wife and overlook those unpleasant pictures, your family might not be as understanding. 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

"Having learned quite a few undisclosed facts today, may we anticipate any additional revelations, ma'am?" the interviewer questioned."I wasn't glad to keep such a thing, but my hands were tied." 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
Bound By Paper Hearts Philanthropic Alice
"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
Bound By Paper Hearts Smell A Rat
A few minutes later, Alice and Andrew called it a night, she kept the phone, and she crashed, even when Bella was trying to talk to her."Ahh, she slept too fast; what a wasteful moment." 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
