LOGINClara was so pissed that she didn't say anything throughout.In fact, she went to another lane.Alyssa stood, choosing her jewelry.The sales attendant suddenly came by, “Ma'am. I have something that would go exactly with your new dress.”“Oh please lead the way.” Alyssa smiled at her.Before long, a pristine gem stone stood in front of her.The earrings and the necklaces were perfectly crafted to an expert level.This was perfect for her and it looked very simple too.“Please pack it up.” The whole trip to the shop was exciting.And when Alyssa was done, she decided to go to her company.It would be good to check up on Joshan now.She had told the man to be the face of the company, but her expert computer skills were still needed in building some of their deal-breaking machines and code.“Have we gotten a buyer for the CD-S22.” Alsysa said as she walked down the hall with a file in her hand.“Not yet. The older CEOs are barely concerned with technical things and technology. They bel
Alyssa walked into a store, holding the card tightly in her hand. “What dress would I get?” She asked herself. Her fingers brushed lightly over the sleek surface of the black card, as if reminding herself that this was real. On a normal day, she couldn't care less about getting a dress, but Harrison wanted her to. And maybe, deep down, she wanted his eyes to remain on her on that day. To see that quiet admiration in his gaze. So she'd definitely pick the best dress. Joshan had picked this place for her, saying it was one of the best. The store was filled with elegance, soft lighting bouncing off polished floors, racks lined with exquisite designs that whispered luxury. But anytime Alyssa's eyes scanned the price tag, “It's so expensive.” She bit down on her lips. She wasn't used to spending such an amount on a single day. Even with the card in her hand, her instincts still resisted it. “What is wrong with you? Can't you watch where you are going?” Someone had bumped into A
The phone rang shrilly, and this time, Alyssa didn't waste time picking it up. Before she could even speak, Harrison took the phone from her hands. “Good day, Dutch.” He said into the phone. On the other side of the call, the hand that held the phone instantly paled. Harrison sat down on the bed, his lips curving into a calm, confident smile. “I'm sure you are surprised I know your name,” Harrison said. Dutch wasn’t the only one surprised—Alyssa was flabbergasted too. Maybe she had underestimated Harrison. This man was a billionaire. Of course, he would have certain advantages. “I might be cancerous and bedridden now, but never think of me as weak, especially when you try to blackmail my wife.” Harrison’s tone was brutal, cold, and unwavering. Earlier, when his guards informed him that a man had escaped, he had instructed them to let him go, hoping the man would lead them to his higher-ups. But this Dutch fool had been reckless enough to threaten his wife. “I
“Alyssa.” Harrison looked at her. It was a look that meant that he could already spot that something was wrong. "What's going on? was it a bad call?" Harrison was quick to throw in the questions. “It’s okay, Harrison. It's nothing really.” Alyssa said, standing up. She wanted to get fresh air, and maybe find a way to think. She had to leave immediately. The space choked up and with the way he looked at her. Her chest tightened and her pulse raced. She might blurt everything out. “I need to speak to the doctor. Maybe I can find a way to get him to release you earlier.” She pushed the right buttons with her words and Harrison brightened up. A faint smile appeared on his lips, though the worry in his eyes remained. He thought it was best not to push her yet. “Okay, I'd wait for you.” He said. Alyssa nodded and walked out the door. As soon as she was outside, she shut the door and leaned on it, sinking into a nightmare abyss. Her legs trembled, and she felt like collapsing on
Harrison was moved to the hospital and then the doctors began the next therapy session. Clear tubes carried the medicine slowly while machines beeped around him. Alyssa had escaped from the drilling questions given to her by the media with the help of Kate. Even now, echoes of flashing cameras and invasive questions lingered in her mind. They had questioned her relationship with Harrison to which she publicly denied. There was no way she would let another creep into their family, because she was married to the man. She sat in the doctor's office. Her hands rested on her lap, fingers slightly intertwined. “Mrs Alexander. Your husband is strong but he still needs all the strength he can get. You shouldn't allow him to do some strenuous work. Going out…” The doctor paused and then his face darkened. His expression shifted from professional calm to clear disapproval. “No, sneaking out of the hospital wasn't the wise decision.” The man continued. Alyssa coughed, hiding the chuckl
The applause inside the Supreme Vida Hall had not died down. Alyssa completed her final turn on the runway and walked back behind the curtain. The moment she stepped backstage, the models and assistants surrounded her. “That was incredible!” “You owned that stage!” “The designer is going to love this!” Compliments poured in from every direction, but Alyssa barely processed any of them. Her mind was still stuck on the moment she saw Harrison in the audience. He was supposed to be in the hospital. Yet he had come. A warm feeling spread through her chest. Kate rushed toward her and grabbed both her hands excitedly. “I knew it! I knew you would crush it!” Kate said proudly. “You should see the reaction online right now. Everyone is talking about you!” Alyssa smiled faintly. Her eyes drifted toward the stage entrance again. “I saw him,” she said quietly. Kate blinked in confusion. “Who?” She asked, until a realization dropped in her heart. Alyssa confirmed it with the nex
“Kate, I do not think I can get out of this bet.” Alyssa was on her bed, talking to the one person who made her feel safe. “Why do you want to leave? This was really good for you, Alyssa. What about Conner and Clara?” Kate asked. “I would leave the city after the gala. Run away from Harrison. Get
“Watch your words, Helda. It is my wife you are talking about,” Harrison’s frown deepened. Helda scoffed. “You do not understand, Brother. It happened the first time, and it will definitely happen again. Women like this are gold diggers.” “I have more than enough gold for her to dig, Helda. What i
Alyssa rested her head on Harrison's shoulder, and she snuggled closer to him. “Why do you smell so warm?” She muttered against his chest. Harrison sighed. “Why did you drink so much, Alyssa?” Seeing her struggle, he pulled her closer into his arms. “My stomach's doing the turny thing.” Alyssa mu
Alyssa walked with her waist tightly held by Harrison. Being a model allowed her to adapt to such an atmosphere. But she had never been in a place like this as someone's wife. Even Conner didn't take her to all these places. “Relax.” Harrison whispered by her side. Alyssa nodded softly. It was s
