LOGINAlexaFinally, it was time for me to leave this damn hospital, and of course Ethan was taking me out; he had been dodging my questions, like what’s the status of the plan, what’s going on in the company? Jeffery’s dinner party. He dodged them all, and now we were heading out of town. Which meant we were not heading to the mansion. I was tired of asking questions and not getting any answers, so I just let him do what he wanted, and then we were before a common Canadian housing in an undeveloped street. No guards behind us; it was just us, and Ethan now picked my hospital bag up and then opened the door up for me. I was still seated because it was so damn confusing. What are we doing here? “Do you need me to lift you?” I stepped out of the car immediately. Wincing a little when I tried straightening up. “Take it slow,” Ethan said to me slowly. The door was unlocked, and he simply pushed the door handle, setting himself aside for me to walk in at the same time the familiar figure rus
AlexaI insisted on walking today; the pain had reduced, and I had been in a space for too long. The minute I was out of my room, I met the person I least expected. “We need to talk.” Mr. Bouchard gestured at me to walk into my room with me. But I would be the most foolish to be alone with a man who tried to harass me when I was a child and has a lot of crimes hidden under his desk. “Ethan is not here.” He cocked a brow. “I only have business with your son. If you wish to speak to me about him, I’m currently not fit to take notes of your discussion and forward it to him.” He scoffed with obvious disbelief. “You’ve got some nerve, huh? I guess you have truly bewitched my son to turn his back on me, on his own father. You think you would get onto a ladder of wealth; that is the reason you convinced him to kick me out of my own company. Are you not fit, huh? The next time I will make you be in a casket.” He hissed and turned to walk away, with his guards walking out. His words we
Ethan The door burst open before the words came out of my mouth, and our attention went to the familiar figure that walked in with a rose bouquet in his hand. Fucking bastard. “I’m sorry for coming late.” Jeffery Thomson stated as he walked in, barely sparing me a glance. Watching him approach Alexa sparked something within. Besides, he was one of the major reasons we faced that accident, yet he approached Alexa with a soft look to what…trying to win her over. Alexa even tried to shake her head in disagreement; I could see the gladness in her face. Something she couldn’t even show to me when she awakened. Yeah, I wanted to confess my feelings to her, but now I feel fucking stupid- so stupid that all I wanted to do was walk out and let them enjoy their company since I might not be in her opinion. But something was still keeping me, a major part of me that believed we shared the same feeling, and I was just being jealous. “It’s my fault.” “Yes, it is.” I agreed to Jeffery’s statem
AlexaAside from my mother, I could never take a bullet for anyone. I was certain about that, certain about loving my life when I tried countless times to take it. I could barely cut myself even, but when the covered man behind pulled out his gun and pointed at Ethan, I lost all fear. Damn, was I even thinking? But even with this pain shooting through my abdomen, my head banging, and my vision blurring, I knew if I was to be placed in the same position again, I would take a bullet for Ethan. Another gunshot sounded; I'm not sure that was directed at me; it certainly wasn’t directed at Ethan because Ethan was above me the next second. “Call the hospital, now!” His yelling passed through my blurred hearing; everything was slowly dying down, aside from his heavy breathing and his pleading for me not to shut my eyes. I badly wanted to, though; I needed to rest, just for a few seconds, for the pain to stop, but wet fluid kept dropping right on my face. It couldn’t be rain; I could feel
EthanI pulled out my gun from under the car seat, registering Alexa’s flight at the same time. She would need to get stronger than this; being by my side gives her lots of chances to get hurt. Just as I predicted, they were fully covered, with just their eyes left out, all stepped out from the bush on either side of the road. She was full on trying to catch her breath. “Stay in here, Jude. Keep the doors locked, don’t let her out regardless of what happens outside.” Jude nodded immediately, and I was set to step out of the car when she gripped the hem of my shirt. “There are too many; we can’t fight them.” She muttered, fright clearly written on her face. I wanted to assure her that everything would be fine, but even I wasn’t sure about that. I need to return safely with her; I need to find out who is after me. “We can’t run either, Alexa; we need to find the one behind this. So just stay in. It would be hard to protect you if you are exposed. I’m certainly their target-” I mean,
Alexa I honestly expected Jeffery Thomson to be the exact same with Ethan; I mean, they are competitors, and last I checked, he had the same demeanor with Ethan during the meeting. Either way, I am enjoying his activeness, until Ethan came to spoil it all. “I don’t see any engagement ring though.” Jeffery throws a gaze at Ethan before I can retort back at him. He rolled his eyes. “Are we not going straight to the point, or do you want to beat around the bush all day, wasting my time?” “Well, Mr. Bouchard, you won’t have come to me if you were not expecting something also. I’m sure you would have had me squeezing through your tight schedule, so yeah, I won’t beat around the bush.” Jeffery takes a seat next to me. “Apologies once again for calling you to meet me; however, I would like to discuss this profound beneficial relationship now that I am the leader of the parliament. You can state your clause, conditions, and needs.” “Is this the reason you called me here, Jeffery Thomson
Alexa “She’s my date” My heart literally jumps when his hands wraps around my fnger, and pulls me away from behind Ethan. But it does calm everyone down and diverts their attention as he pulls me away from the crowd to the exit. I got my wish answered but at what cost? Because Ethan’s eyes is
Alexa My heart drops as Chloe walks in. All attention are on her, everyone gasping as she catwalks her way in with guards behind and her father-Ben Martin beside her. The same people that were awed by her, frowned as they turn to me, their eyes all laying their disgust. I'm not sure everyone her
Alexa The door is slammed shut. It’s a shame this is just the beginning of her getting provoked and I plan to relish on every moment. “Don’t act familiar with me. From now on we are only Boss and employee.” Ethan states. As if there was anything more in the past. I was like a sister to him then
Alexa The same balcony that father had fallen from ten years ago loomed over me. The same spot where they had claimed my father took his life. I can still picture his bloody, lifeless body on the compound waterfall that’s mounted below. It causes nausea to crawl up my throat. “You ungrateful bra
