(ALICE.)

My eyes trailed up the double height ceilings. The glass, the furniture, the aesthetics. One word. Majestic.

I quickly tore my eyes down, following Alex to the living room, my eyes doing a quick glance around the floor. I wanted my eyes to linger a bit, because who glances around a fucking penthouse!

Not my fault. His “humble abode” was exquisite.

He’s either from an old money family, or he’d be one of those tech guys that built a multi million dollar tech company at twenty four, or he’s straight out into illegal stuffs that rakes in money. And I’m talking drugs, or underground military weaponry distribution.

“Relax. Feel at home.” Alex turned.

“This is not my home,” I countered immediately.

“Don’t be fierce Alice,” he laughed, “it can be your home if you want.”

“Thanks for having me,” I dismissed whatever he was saying, grateful I had a place to spend the night.

“Come on, let me show you your room.”

    (ALICE.) My eyes trailed up the double height ceilings. The glass, the furniture, the aesthetics. One word. Majestic.

    ( ALICE ) I tossed comfortably on the bed, stretching, slowly opening my eyes. I blinked. Once. Twice. The curtains were drawn over the windows, completely blocking the sunlight. That must be why the sunrise didn’t wake me. But something was off. My curtains are usually open. I paused, the scent of pistachio and mint filling my nose. Wait! My eyes widened. I turned immediately to the side, and he was on the couch reading newspaper. His face calm like I wasn’t there. He Instinctively looked towards me. “ You’re awake?” I nodded, hiding my embarrassment and the fact that I don’t remember how I ended up in his room again. My head ached terribly, and I furrowed my brow in pain. “Here, have some food and take the hangover medicine,“ Alex said, setting the table with a few strides. I didn’t like eating without brushing my teeth, but this situation made it impossible to uphold that principle. The aroma of the food evoked great hunger in me, and secondly I can’t just walk out witho

    (ALICE)I quietly cleared out my desk. Leaving like I never worked to be where I was. I handed my project design files over to the next person in charge.It felt like a movie. Maybe I’m in a dream, because my head still couldn’t wrap around the fact that the life I’ve built for years has totally crumbled in front of me.So much for trusting a man!Talking about man. I have to visit Edward. I waited till the office hours were over, to be sure he would be home. I knocked and Claire appeared yet again.“Where is Edward?” I was so getting sick of all this.“Darling. Alice is asking for you.” “I’d be down in a sec.” I heard Edward say from upstairs.I sat in the living room like a stranger, like this wasn’t my home. There had been changes, obviously to Claire’s taste.“Heard you’re looking for me,” he said, descending gracefully on the stairs like a king.And in that fleeting moment, I wanted to take it all from him.“Did you have to attack me in my workplace too?”“Your workplace? Oh,

    (ALICE) PRIMROSE HOTEL .I stared at the huge neon sign that welcomed me, as I alighted from the taxi. This is where I’d be staying till I find a good apartment.According to my calculations, my money would be just enough for a three days stay. And my remaining money would go into rent and other necessities.“Welcome to primrose hotel.” The receptionist said with a smile.“Third floor, room 307.” She said again, after I have made payments, handing me a key card.I locked the door behind me, going straight to lay down on the bed. I was tired.I didn’t know how long I had slept till my doorbell dinged.It might be a mistake.It dinged again.I cursed, dragging myself out of bed.“Room service,” a male voice said behind the door.“Oh. Thank you.” I had totally forgot I ordered dinner.“This our special set dinner of pasta and chicken breast.” He set down the food on the table.“Enjoy.”“Thank you.”“Oh, and there’s a pool party happening tonight, it’s for everyone staying in the hotel,

    Light stung my eyes, making me flip them shut immediately I opened them. I turned, groaning. “Beth, please close the windows!”I did not get a response, not from Beth, not from the windows closing.My head spun, aching, telling me I made a mistake of thinking I couldn’t get drunk because I was heartbroken.“Beth is not here yet?” I muttered, struggling to get out of bed with my eyes closed.“Who is Beth?” A voice said from the far corner of the room.My eyes immediately clicked open, the faint scent of pistachio and mint hanging in the air. I turned swiftly to know who had that voice, because it wasn’t Edward’s, or the doctor, and definitely not anyone I know.And there he was, fresh out of shower in a bathe robe. His face was unfamiliar but he was hella handsome.My eyes lowered in curiosity and fear. “Who are you?” I grabbed the sheets, pulling it up to my chest.“I should be the one asking that.” His came softly and unbothered.Did I have a one night stand? No I couldn’t .But

    (ALICE’S POV)My hands trembled as I swiped on the phone. It wasn’t only one picture. There were four different occasions and a video too.“Ed….,” I choked, looking steadily at him as tears freely left my eyes.“Clearly, you are a cheater!” Claire clicked her tongue.“That’s not true,” my voice trembled, “Edward you know this is not true.”“Then what is that?” Claire talked again.“Shut up!” I screamed, throwing the phone to the far corner of the room.“Alice, I have no reason to post this unless you drag out our divorce. Just let go of everything and let us be.”“Us?” I muttered loudly, “Did you team up with her to torture me? Edward, how did I end up in bed with a fucking stranger?” My voice came surprisingly calm.“How would I know?”“How did you get these pictures then?”He paused briefly, “The stranger probably sent it to me, I guess he knew I was your husband.”I studied his face and that of Claire.
