BEFORE THE DIVORCE....
Alice Montero sighed deeply as she closed her journal,slipped her pen into her faded jeans pocket and headed out for the door.
Eyes conered and lips murmured as she walked towards her car which wasn't knew to her since her engagement to Landon Mikaelson was finally leaked.
She made a little snort as she tried igniting the car's engine which was proving stubborn and when it wouldn't make an effort she got out.
‘F**k it!'.A sound of irritation escaped her lips as she grabbed a pack of cigarettes and took one out of the box.
She was pretty sure the next headlines on the gossip blogs would be about how she was unfit to be Landon's future wife cause of her addiction to smoking.
But she wasn't really addicted,she thought.She smoked only when she was frustrated and ever since she agreed to being Landon Mikaelson's wife frustration had been her companion.
‘You know there's a garage two blocks away from here'.An emo-looking teenage boy offered as he pointed towards the u-turn.
‘Nah I'll just call someone to come pick me—
‘I could fix your car here and right now if you want?? You know I'm in need of cash and you're Landon Mikaelson's wife to be so...'.His voice trailed off and she instantly knew what he was up to.
She was a millionaire herself but people didn't know that.Her relationship with Landon was more of like an arrangement than an actual love thing but she was happy with it anyway of at least she thought she was.
He was her highschool crush.Her family has been friends with his for years and he was also her brother's best friend which made it a little bit more appealing when the proposal was first dropped.
Although his attitude towards her was a little stand-offish she wasn't really bothered.
I mean who wouldn't want to marry an highschool crush?.
‘Okay then,go ahead and fix the car and then I'll pay'.She finally said after a moment of gathering her thoughts.
In a few days she was going to be married and that was something to be looking forward to,she thought as she took another puff of smoke.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
‘You know you look like a cupcake man in that tuxedo'.Catherine Mikaelson, Landon's elder sister muttered as she walked into her brother's dressing room.
Tall,defined cheekbones and the signature shiny glossed black Mikaelson hair she was a token of sheer beauty.
Landon was a little bit more blonde on the roots but he had the Mikaelson build from his broad and wide shoulders to his lean and lanky waist,and that mean man look on his face.
‘I look more like a liquorice than a cupcake man,Jerry please take this off me'.He replied and the designer took off the suit piece by piece.
‘So how are you holding up?'.Catherine asked.
‘Huh?'.
‘I mean how are you holding up and how is Alice by the way?'.
‘I am fine and Alice is...Alice is fine too I guess'.He grunted and poured her a glass of Brandy.
‘It's 3pm.You know i hate drinking Lan but that's not what I'm bothered about'.She snapped and his brows perked up.
‘Then what are you bothered about dear sister?'.
‘It's you Lan! Alice is a very good person and I don't want you to hurt—
‘Might I remind you that this marriage isn't one of love or commitment Catherine! it's an arranged marriage and more of like a business proposal incase Dad didn't fill you in on the details'.He snapped back and flickered his wrists as soon as he spotted an ant.
‘Dad wants you to marry Alice because you've known each other for years Lan! And this is why I'm worried because you never care for anything or anyone apart from the business'.Catherine stated and he rolled his eyes to the other direction.
He loved his sister no doubt but sometimes he just wished she was never even born for she was a stark meddler in other people's affairs.
’Look here Cathy,the M&M industry has been thriving for years due to our family's bond with each other and I have a plan which Alice doesn't know about—No one knows about'.He said.
‘What plan?'.Catherine asked.
‘After the wedding and the business deal is solidified I'll make a deal with Alice.After a year or two years in fact we'll go our separate ways and everybody's happy'.He replied and she scoffed loudly.
Her brother would never learn.
Lucas frowned deeply as Catherine forced him out of the car even though he just wanted to sleep,the weather was burning hot and they both received a message from Alice saying it was urgent.He shut the car door and kept on grumbling under his breath as Catherine opened her door with a key card only for them to meet Landon in the living room.‘What the f—'.‘Guess who's getting married......for the second time'.Alice said excitedly as she exposed the beautiful ring with a huge glistening diamond on it.Catherine shrieked for joy and launched herself at Landon who was lucky enough to catch her before she fell to the ground.She apologized about the Christmas dinner ordeal and he forgave her in a heartbeat.The doorbell rang and the rest of the family came in shortly,they also received the emergency message but seeing Landon paved way for the obvious c
TWO MONTHS LATERIt was a tough battle and since it was a long time the case of Madison O'Brien's murder was opened,the court battle was fierce and Luther's lawyer was one of the best people at his job in the country.However, Stacey's testimony pushed the investigators to look more into the case and they found more than enough evidence to put him behind bars for a long time.Other women who were victims of his abuse began to speak up and this led to another further investigation,his numerous clubs and hotels were just business cover-ups for his underground drug scale business where he dealt with cocaine.He was given a 25-year prison sentence and the rest of the O'Brien family were more than happy to see their son put behind bars when they heard about his crimes.Alice knew he was an addict and an abuser but she never really expected her ex-boyfriend, who she almos
A few minutes later Alice wakes up after Lucas Isplashed a little bit of water on her face, disheveled,still in denial of the truth revealed to minutes earlier,angry at how naive she had grown to be and afraid of what was to become.A little part of her still wanted to doubt Stacey's accusations towards her step-sister but it was all coming to place now—the bursts of anger,the coldness passing between the both of them,the huge amounts of money missing from the company's account that she didn't tell anyone else about except Kayla.It was all coming to place now.How did Kayla know she was doubting Landon about the whole secret admirer issue when she didn't even say anything??.‘Are you okay?'.Catherine asked as Alice rubbed a sore part of her neck in frustration.‘Y...yeah..uhhh...where... where is Stacey?'.Alice responded as she glanced around the room only to find Stac
Alice pretended to be asleep when she heard her door slowly creak open and heaved a sigh of relief when Catherine walked in with a perturbed look on her face.‘Is everything okay??'.She asked and Catherine gulped hard.‘I uhhhh....I uhhh....I think you should.....i think you should come outside someone wants to see you'.The quiver in her voice was enough proof to Alice that something was definitely wrong—she was tired—Landon was out of her life already and now there's another problem in her life to deal with.She reluctantly got out of the bed and went down the stairs only to find Stacey at the foot of it with her body shaking vigorously like she had the fever.‘Stacey??'.She called softly and Stacey flinched sharply as she turned around.‘Wh...what is...'’You have to help me,he's
FEW HOURS LATER....Alice blew her nose into the handkerchief handed over to her by Kayla,who was tired of keeping up with the supportive sister act.Landon was finally out of the way and Alice wasn't in the right state of mind which was a perfect opportunity to milk off her.‘I love that man Kayla and I....I can't believe I still do love him'.Alice cried out as she blew her nose again.‘He hurt you multiple times before Alice and he acted like he was a changed man......he isn't a changed man sis and it's time you move on from him'.Kayla muttered and then Willow started crying all of a sudden.Alice wasn't really in the mood but she picked her baby up anyway and patted her on the back so as to make her stop.The crying didn't stop and Kayla decided to take Willow outside for some fresh air just as Catherine walked in.‘Are you—'.‘
It probably wasn't a big deal but Alice still couldn't understand why Landon would hide the letter from his secret admirer—maybe she was overthinking it—maybe she wasn't—maybe she was having a hard time trusting the man she loved—maybe she was just scared of losing him.Well she why wouldn't she trust Landon.He did spend a lot of time redeeming himself and having fears over him cheating on her was beyond dumb.....it was also unacceptable as well.‘Don't ruin this Alice,don't f**king ruin this,you are finally with the man of your dreams and you are going to spend Christmas with him'.She whispered and took a deep breath before going outside.Landon was already asleep and she kissed him on the forehead right after she placed the card right back under his bed,he stirred a little bit but thankfully didn't wake up which was a relief.‘You know you could've
