Alice acted like the scorned woman she was. Her divorce was a tremendous battle she fought fiercely. Her lawyer was a beast. The final agreement was drawn and ready for her signature. Alice never batted an eyelid or looked at Oliver, who was sitting at the same table across from her with his lawyer.

“Shall we proceed?” Oliver’s lawyer, Buck, spoke.

“Of course,” Alice’s lawyer Craig nodded.

Oliver was glaring at Alice for good reason. He was about to be signing off and agreeing to settle a large

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 32

    Vincent was in his apartment getting ready to fly to Cape Town with Natalia as soon as she was done with her meeting. Vincent has always been a silent partner. Natalia was the one who ran the show. He didn’t do much legwork. All he did was only shows face when it is absolutely necessary Vincent initially never wanted to be a part of this whole foundation but Natalia never stopped. She talked about the foundation even through all his treatments. He heard her talk about opening a foundation that helps people. Some who were like him, wanting to go through this alone but also for people with no means to have their families with them because of finances. Her heart was in the right place and he funded her just so she could shut up about it but she had roped her too. The company was much his as it was hers. Her foundation was birthed because of him. “Vincent,” Katy shouted, “Are you home?” Vincent sighed and walked out of his bedroom. “Hey,” Vincent closed his door, “Why are you here?”

    “Knock Knock,” Megan knocked on Alice’s open office. “Hey,” Alice looked up smiling, “Didn’t expect you here until later,” Alice went back to looking down at her phone. “My meeting was pushed and decided to pop in now,” Megan added walking to have a seat, “Who are you talking to?” “Vin,” “Oh?” Megan hummed, “You are back to calling him Vin?” “What?” Alice shrugged, placing her phone down. “You were with Simon a week ago and now you are chatting with Vin,” Megan said his name with air quotes. “You are the one who invited them both to my birthday,” “I did but you are not seriously going to be that girl, are you?” “What girl?” Alice frowned. “The girl who will repeat history and end up losing both men forever.” Megan gave Alice a pointed look. “I’m not,” Megan narrowed her eyes at her friend, “I. Am. Not.” Alice sighed, “And besides Simon and I spent a weekend together and nothing happened.” “Alice, you were grinning and told me you had a great time. You guys talked and you

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 30

    The romantic phase Simin and Alice had been in was over and they were both back with the outside words. Simon dropped Alice at her house and went to his club to check a few things before he went to see his mother, as he had promised her yesterday. “He is alive,” Alan looked up at him as he walked in. “Don’t you have a house of your own?” Simon glared at his friend. “For someone who spent two nights with a woman. I would have expected better,” Alan shook his head, “And you should thank me.” “Why?” Simon scoffed. “Why do you look like you were not laid?” “What do you want from me?” Simon raised his brow, looking tired. “A thank you for starters would be nice,” Alan placed his phone in his pocket. “You owe me that much.” “You have free alcohol and access to this place,” Simon added, walking away. Alan jumped and ran in front of his friend and carefully stared at him. “Did Al reject you?” “Her name is Alice, not Al,” Simon sidestepped and moved again. “Oh man. I’ll make you som

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 29

    Alice groaned when someone shook her. She stirred, but the male laughter made her open her eyes. She jerked her body up, revealing her naked upper body. She quickly pulled the sheets over herself and closed her eyes and sighed. “Good morning,” Simon chuckled. “Morning,” Alice yawned, hiding her face behind her hair. “Alice,” Simon moved closer to her, “Why are you hiding?” “Shit,” Alice sprung up, pulling the sheets, “I’m late.” Simon grabbed Alice and pulled her back to his chest. “Are you trying to use this as an escape and run?” “No,” Alice scoffed, “I’m late. I have a meeting.” “It’s Saturday.” “I know, but I have a meeting,” “Hmm,” Simon spun Alice around and pulled her hair away from her face, “Open your eyes,” Alice shook her head, “Look at me, Al.” Simon calling her Al again made Alice look at him. His gray eyes held mischief. “I know the first time we were together you ran away from me?” “I’m not running,” Alice whispered. “Then why are you avoiding my gaze?” h

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 28

    Simon didn't expect to be pulled close to Alice by Knox and Tristan. He had a fair idea of what was happening, since Alice had explained the game to him once when they were at Knox's party years ago, but he was confused because the options were drinking or a forfeit fee. "What is happening?" he asked. "Kiss me for one minute and save me." Alice pleaded with Simon. "How much do you need to pay?" Simon asked. "Nice try." Knox patted his shoulder. "We are not making it easier for her. She has to drink or kiss someone for a minute." Tristan spoke. "Not my wife," Riley added. "I have a meeting at seven," Alice smiled at him awkwardly. "If you can't, I can ask someone." At the mention of someone else, Simon leaned to Alice's level and kissed her. It was a fiery kiss. Their tongues were at odds with each other. It wasn't supposed to feel like this. It was an addicting kiss that wouldn't be quenched in a minute. He needed more. She needed more. "Okay," Megan pulled Simon back, "It's

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 27

    Alice enjoyed dancing to Perfect by Ed Sheeran the most that they danced to the song more than once. It had been perfect to be in his arms and slow dancing like there was no tomorrow. Alice forgot all her worries and only saw their moment. Her heart was pounding, and she was grinning and happy."Who knew you could be such a gentleman?" Alice looked up at Vincent."If you see me as one, that means I did my job right," he murmured, the response making Alice feel mush."Do we really have to go back?" Alice pouted."Your family and friends are waiting for you. I believe they still have more thing in store for you."Alice scoffed. "They want me drunk.""They mean well," Vincent grinned.Alice pouted but swayed around with Vincent, feeling like she was teleported to cloud nine. She was glad Vincent remembered one of her wishful thinking and brought it to life. They had dinner, ate her favorite food in the entire world, and danced together. If Alice was to drop dead now. She would go with a

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 17

    Alice was led to an apartment above the club by Simon. She had wailed like a child in a bar with minimal people, but still it was mortifying. Her outburst, snorting and smudging, her makeup on Simon's clean shirt. She had a glimpse of herself in a mirror while she was looking around Simon’s apartmen

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 16

    Alice ran back to grab her purse and car keys. She tried to school her emotions until she left. Alice had dabbed her eyes and plastered a smile and walked in. Before excusing herself, she whispered something to her friend Megan."Are you leaving?" Vincent asked, staring at her.Alice nodded without lo

  • Mess With Love   Chapter 15

    Alice avoided Vincent since she got back. It wasn't mature of her like Megan kept telling her, but she wasn't ready to chat. She left after hurtful words after they kissed. After two years, she came back. She got engaged and married and stayed in Johannesburg. Alice felt embarrassed and guilty, more

    Alice wheeled her suitcase from the airport and looked around, looking for her best friend. She pulled her cell from her bag and was about to call Megan when she heard a shriek.
