The next day, they are back in the mansion and she is laying on her bed. A violet flowery color covers her body and she is breathing evenly. Suddenly, the alarm clock on the bedside table bells, and she stirs up, she opens her eyes and the sunlight slaps them. She winces and squeezes her eyes tightly and she blinks hurriedly to adjust to the brightness. She yawns loudly and tries to put messy hair into place, she looks around her and she frowns and thinks,‘After that day, I feel like it never passes. Every day is our wedding anniversary and he stands me up. That evil man has tainted my early morning waking. I should find something that will replace that dreadful morning.’She gets up and rushes to the washroom, a few minutes later, she comes out in a bathrobe and walks to the side table and picks up her phone, and dials a number. The phone rings and on the second ring, the person on the other picks up and she says,“I will be there at noon, you should be ready by then.”She hangs up
Alexia looks at the huge building in front of her and looks back at him confused, he other the other hand has a huge smile on his face and he holds on to her hand. The gazes of the people around look at them blankly. Those in the building stop their business and stare at the couple-looking people in front of them and the ones passing by can not help but stare too. When they walk up the walkway hand in hand, some of the people take out their phones and start taking pictures. Jonas doesn’t stop them, but he removes his yellow-colored hat and puts it on her head.He shakes his head and laughs out saying,“Lexie, nothing can hide your beauty from the world and nothing hinders it. You are just a goddess just as they all say.”Alexia sighs and finally inquires,“Brother, what are we doing here? Shouldn’t I be going to work?; I wouldn’t want to be late on my first day in. Otherwise, the employees might think I am arrogant and that’s the reason I am arriving any time I want.”He laughs out an
They alight the car and she looks at the company on their opposite. Alexia watches the people go in and out of the building, she catches a glimpse of a familiar face, and just as she is about to look closely, Jonas holds her hand and pulls her from the roadside. She sighs and recalls something,She was dressed in a white jumpsuit and sneakers. She had pulled her hair in a ponytail and had in her hand a food basket, she arrives in front of the company driving in her old Corollaa. When she arrives at the gate, the security man looks her up and down and she smiles at him. She walks to the receptionist and says to her,“I am here to see Edward.”The receptionist gazes at her and she suddenly frowns and inquires,“Which Edward are you looking for? There are four to five Edwards in this company and I can’t think of any of them that you could probably see.”Alexia sighs and with a smile apologies and response,“Oh, right, I am sorry, I should have been specific. I am here to see the CEO, Edw
In the office, he is walking from one point to another. He would come to look on the desktop once in a while. Two young men are sitting on the couch in the middle of the room and front of them are two laptops sitting on the table in front of them. He lights up a cigarette and the smoke moves slowly in his mouth. He sighs and looks back and asks,“When will you be able to put down that news? I thought you were experts.”One of the men sighs and responds to him while he is continuously typing on the keyboard,“Sir, it isn’t as easy we thought it was. Someone seems to be holding on to this news, all the news papers are excited about this news and people are busily viewing it. This is making it difficult as someone keeps publishing it to blogs and browsers. Whoever is doing this can somehow one-day control all the systems in this country.”He stops and looks up at him and continues,“Mr. Edward, whoever is doing this is dangerous and I don’t know why the national security system is not do
Alexia rushes out of the building and boards a taxi. The driver drives and stops in front of a hotel and sge alights. In a few minutes, she exist the elevator and walks majestically in the corridor. In her hand is a room key that, she is swinging in her hand and smiling. She arrives in front of a room and unlocks the door. The room is dark with no source of light, she makes out a figure on the bed and two on the couch on the side. Alexia sighs when she recalls the bad moments in that very room, her depressed expression disappears replaced with a wide smile when she hears a grant coming from the bed.She steps into the room and switches on the light. On the bed, her eyes are wide open along with her eyes. Her lips are sealed and her hands are tied in front of her, her legs are also tied with a robe. The red marks on her hands and feet shoes that, she had tried to release herself several times. She is dressed in a short sleeve knee length flare dress. It is blue in color and her lips ha
A black Benz stops in front of the hotel and two men, come out of it. They both look up at the hotel and look back at a signal on a phone showing red and green. The one dressed in a white suit them asks,“Ed, why is your phone showing two signals? Which one is Cecelia and which one is the other?”Edward frowns and creases his brows then he asks to no one in particular,“Why are they both here? And in the same room?”A scene passes through his eyes and he looks at the guy with him with his eyes wide opened and he starts rushing into the building. The guy in white looks at his retrieving figure as if he is watching a horror movie and he says to himself,“What could it be for that imperturbable person to be perturbed? Am I living to see this day or am I a ghost now?”She shakes his head and rushes behind him, the elevator is about to close with Edward inside that he barely made it inside. He breaths tiredly and he finds it hard to talk but he manages to say,“You just made me run five hu
They take her to the hospital and the doctors rush to attend to her. As soon as, her back touches the hospital bed, he leaves her body and moves back. She stretches her hand to hold on to him but the doctor beside her takes it and administers a syringe in her shoulder. Her eyes drop low and he leaves the room. Chris follows right after him as he hurries out of the hospital, he lights cigarette and draws the smoke in before pushing it out of his mouth. Chris reaches him and says to him,“I actually thought that you wanted to leave her behind. By the way, why did you bring her to the hospital? You could have taken her to a room and healed her of her sickness.”Edward hums silently and speaks,“Don’t say foolish things that will merit you a good beating.”“I dare not, but it seems your ex wife can. Imagine her do this to your lover? Does she want to die early? But she seems to have changed a lot. That little meek cat has turned into a roaring lion. What are you going to do about her?”Ed
They are sitting in the dinning area and having breakfast, she is holding the spoon in her hand and her head and laid in her palm. Her face gas a blank expression and she keeps stabbing the good on the plate with the spoon. Jonas glances at him once in a while to see her acting in the same way and only picking tiny bits of the food in her mouth. He sighs and throws his spoon into the bowl of porridge in front of him. She moves up in fright and she realizes what actually scared her, she glares at him and he glares back at her and he says to her, his hands clenched and his face a little wrinkled,“Why are you looking so bothered? What is happening with you that I don’t know?”She sighs and shakes her head slowly, Jonas glares at her harder and he stands up abruptly from his chair. It falls back to the floor, Alexia gets startled once again and she stands up along with him. Jonas smirks and he speaks in a deep and painful voice,“Alexia, don’t let me think that you still love that bastar
