Irene ignored her and walked up the stairs not wanting to have any conversation with her as she had considered her a lifeless soul.
“ Where do you think you're going to?”. Irene stopped abruptly and looked at Alice by the stair case squinting her eyes meaningfully “What does it look like?” “Don't you think we need to talk? or are you going to act like there's nothing to address” Alice said smirking at Irene like one who had won a foreseen battle. Irene glanced at her with dislike and thought that I'll only be nice if she'd give her a piece of her mind. “What should we talk about..... uhh, that you betrayed me or you were my fiance's Mistress while you pretended to sympathize with me all along”. this time she spoke slightly up angry “We should talk about how sly you are right, how I took you as family, how we've been friends for almost a decade now and you think this is how you repay me for the good deeds I have done for you” “ Spare me that statement please, Good deeds you say.... take a look around you, you've always had everything that comes your way, when we were into the acting industry together you always had your ways of outshining me, you had the most amazing fan base while I struggle with mine, you were able to get eyes on you from prominent figures and of all a wonderful fiance that adores you..... How could I not be jealous? huh” she said melancholy. “ That's why you were set to make me miserable, you told me to leave my career as it's the best for my supposed fiance meanwhile you were plotting all along,I was really blinded all along , you both don't deserve my sympathy” “ We wouldn't be needing it anyways” “ You can have him for all I care but you both should watch your back” Irene said sternly one could feel the serious warning from her tone— this word made Alice tremble she knew Irene was not a person who made empty threat. She continue walking towards her room but then she felt a hand holding her by her wrist preventing her from moving with this she twitched her brows slightly. “You do not have anything to fight back this time I made sure of it” Alice said with a wicked smile appearing on her face— at that moment Alice rolled down the stairs screaming before Irene could react Robert rushed towards the fallen Alice as he was just coming from the garden and glared at Irene. “ How could you push a pregnant lady down the stairs?” he yelled at the top of his lungs dialing the family doctor's number Irene scoffed at the act that was displayed by her ex best friend— she was not amazed but she had really underestimated her. “So you would believe that I pushed her down the stairs, do I look that petty?” Robert carried Alice and put her on the couch then walked up to Irene with a pulsating look. “ if anything happens to Alice or my baby I will not forgive you and I mean it” “What a vise versa statement, that was suppose to be my line” Irene thought absentmindedly “Do you understand me?” his voice jolting her from her thought. “ I didn't do anything to her she decided to fall down the stairs by herself just to frame me — how pathetic” she said rolling her eyes. “She wouldn't do anything of sort to hurt our child, she doesn't have that kind of heart , you're the one with thoughts like that because I broke up with you, you must be pretty jealous” Suddenly the doctor walked into the house and observed Alice as at state of emergency, administer some drugs and bandage the wounded areas. “How is the baby doctor?” Robert asked with his voice filled with panic. “She and the baby is fine, she just fell unconscious and would wake up soon it's nothing serious, don't be too alarmed just give her the drugs I prescribed and she'll be fine....i'll be leaving” the doctor said packing up his medical kit and headed for the door “You should thank your heavens that nothing happened to the baby, you would have been in regret by now , but I'll let it slide if you apologize to her when she wakes up” “Apologize you say?, I will not apologize for what I did not do” “I know you would be stubborn to listen but I'll only turn a blind eye to what you did today If you apologize sincerely to her” “I stand on my word that I'm not going to apologize, I am not your puppet ” she said raising her voice slightly “ Why are you being disobedient, I know you're upset, shocked and frustrated about the whole news that's why you're raising your voice at me but just do as I say and I'll forget about today ” with that he went inside his study room. ******************************** Irene went to her room feeling exhausted, she sat on the bed and pondered over what had just happened, she needed to brace up herself for these scheming, shameless couples and she can't continue staying in this house it wasn't safe infact it was never safe since she broke up but she needed to gather up herself and find a place with immediate effect— after a while she went to the kitchen to make a simple snacks for herself. On getting there Alice blocked her path. “How did you see my act? ” she said sarcastically “It was great, never taught you would stoop so low to gain attention, it was a flawless act” Irene said clapping ironically “ You may not admit it but did you see how your fiance.... oops my bad..... my fiance ran to me to help me, it was a great timing I must say” “ Are you sure he rushed towards you or for the baby's sake?” Irene smirked “ Seems like you have a lot of work to do cause he kept asking after the baby and not you” with that Irene walked in “You— ” Alice became speechless and stormed out of the kitchen angrily Just then a notification pop up which alerted Irene , checking the content she became excited. “What the...Oh my .......”What is all this about? Huh.. Do you just go around calling all your celebrities babes?Robert said, the flames in his eyes couldn't go unnoticed but that explanation from him made him calm down a bit. “ I'm sorry Mr Robert” Gray said in the most calmest manner as he have Alice a knowing look before leaving the doctor's office. Alice heart beat skyrocketed with speed as her eyes wandered towards the doctor giving him a death stare so he could keep his mouth shut and ask no further question. “ Umm.. Please take your seat” The doctor gestured for them as it wasn't his business either and he proceeded to do what he was there for. He checked the health of the baby adb everything was fine. He only ordered that she took more fruits and at least eat well. The pregnancy wasn't hidden anymore as Alice gets to wear more baggy clothes to hide it from fans and paparazzi not until she gives birth.In Roberts office. “ I could go home Robert. Don't you think?”. “ No, the doctor said you need
In Roberts house Robert woke up staring at Alice with a bit of disgust in his eyes,he didn't know why but for some reason he just don't trust her anymore. His senses was begining to recover,he notices that these days he keeps comparing Alice to Irene which had never happened before. " Hey Babe. Good morning" Alice said yawning between as she looked at him with a sleepy voice. " Good morning" he replied in a manner which she wouldn't suspect him." How was your night?' he added. " It was one of the best night" Alice replied smiling halfway as she referred to last night. This made Robert chuckled a bit. " How about the baby?" he said caressing her womb gently. Alice felt warmth yet pity for Robert in her heart. " Never been better dear". she replied as she sat up, taking the water by the edge of the bed as she gulped it down her dry throat. " So I was thinking...umm... I'm free today and so how about we go for a check up like parents do. I've not been having
Alex got to his house. It's security was tight enough that even a line could not get in without verification. Irene was almost fast asleep, her head juggling sideways. " We home, Irene" Alex said as he got out from the car. He knew Irene wasn't listening at the moment. He went to her door side, carrying her in a single swift motion leading to his door. The Butler's and maid were quick enough to carry her things into the house. The smell of the shampoo from her hair filled his nostrils as he went upstairs but this time to his room. He could swear that he held himself not to kiss her but since her sleep was not deep she woke up. " A...Alex" she whispered, her voice calling out to Alex's groin in a whisper. He swallowed hard. " Yes" he replied paying attention to what she wants to say. " Are we home?" Irene said as her eyes sprung open. She suddenly realized that she wasn't in the car. She yawned for while. " This isn't my room Alex" she proposed. " It's your room n
Alex swirled his car towards Irene blocking the view of the reporter in a way. He quickly adjusted and unlocked the car door . " Hop in " were the words that came out of his mouth as he zoomed of leaving the reporter speechless but he couldn't probably without an information so he captured the back of the car with the registered plate number. " That was so cool" Irene said in between her laughs. It was as if they were playing hide and seek and she did enjoy it. " Ever gone for car racing. You did it professionally".Alex chuckled at her little curiosity as she seemed super excited and eager to know " I know a lot of things sweetheart" he said stepping on the accelerator as they were on highway. "Ohh" Irene slapped her head in embarrassment as she always forgets that she was dating the Alexander Blake. " I totally forgot that you're—". "No it's nice you asked. I've met many rich kids who aren't well informed on proper things. At the end of that day it is all b
Irene immediately brought out her phone as she texted Alex in loving yet angry manner. Didn't I say that you shouldn't make an entrance?— Irene wrote. Tell me you don't like it and I won't do it again—he replied and waited a but for an answer but as he expected the other end didn't answer leaving him to smirk once more. He knew she liked it but was scared about the internet talks while he on the other hand didn't even care at all. Irene bit her lips in a sexy manner as she saw the message, her mind waved Into different dimensions. This was the first time when she had been shown public display of action and she didn't know how right she could react to it. We meet at your house tonight. Remember you must pay me with something little kitten. he finally said admist the awkward silence from her end. Okay— was all she could type out as she didn't have the strength to banter words with Alex at the moment cause her heart was jumping from excitement and pondering on the p
Alex had gone early enough as he received an important call from the office so it was natural for him to leave. At least he spent an important moment with her and it was worth it. I wish this happens often— she thought as she poured the red wine by the chef into her glass and sipped silently thinking about the atmosphere. Ring....ring....ringThere was a ring on her door and she suddenly wondered who was there. She wasn't expecting anyone except Alex came back maybe he forgot something. " Who's that on the door?". she murmured excitedly as she opened it without checking the screen. " Hey Irene, I've been calling your line but you aren't picking". Ava said as she went inside and slouched on the chair. Irene was so disappointed but what was she expecting. " Oh! my phone I didn't—". " You have a scene this morning and need to be at work. You're already late and have just few minutes to dress up". " But I thought I had a break today from the director then
