In the hospital, Edward rushes towards the room and he opens it hastily, Cecelia looks in his way and starts crying. He hurries to her and holds her hand as she lays on the bed, he looks in the way of the doctor and inquires,“What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she crying like this?”The doctor shakes his head slowly and whispers,“I don’t have the right to inform you. When she calms down, she will tell you herself.He glares at him and shouts at him,“If so, then, what the hell are you doing here? Get out of my sight!!”Cecelia holds his hand and puts it under her head. She caresses him with tears flowing on his hand. He looks on helpless and says calmly to her,“Cece, if you don’t tell me what is wrong with you, I wouldn’t know how to be of help to you. Please speak to me, I am here for you.”She sniffs weakly and looks at him with her reddened eyes and shakes her head, in a choky voice she speaks,‘Edward, I am dying.”He looks in the way of the doctor and he nods his head. Hi
Several days pass by just like that and she only eats, sleeps, and eats. The routine goes on like this and she lives as if she has no purpose in her life. When she feels like it, she takes a walk in the garden or she finds Enoch and they crack jokes and laugh out. Whenever her brother brings up the issue of Edward, she brings up another topic. Two weeks and she wakes up one day and finally picks up her phone she sees several messages from her friend Veronica not to talk about the several voice messages. She smiles weakly and says to herself,“Vero, I even forgot about you, what have I been doing all these days? Have I gone completely mad out of a broken heart? It’s time I take up my rod and do something.She gets up from the bed and walks into the bathroom, after several minutes, she comes out dressed in a pink straight dress and brown heels and, a brown Gucci bag. Her hair is let down to her back down to her buttocks and she puts on pink shades. She looks at herself in the mirror and
A few hours later and she is tied up on a chair, her eyes are blocked with a white handkerchief and her hands are tied with another handkerchief. She is sitting down quietly until she hears the sound of heels coming her way, when she feels that the kidnapper is closer to her, she moves her leg just in time that the person falls instantly and a cry leaves her lips. Veronica laughs out and shouts,“Believe me, you have the wrong person. I promise you that if you don’t release me, I will die here with you. Did you kidnap my friend after abusing her right and you are here for me because I know her? You better watch out then because I have several people around who know me and her and you will never get away with your crimes.”She realizes that it is silent and so she keeps quiet, then she hears someone sobbing by her side. She feels confused about the atmosphere and she questions this time calmly,“Who are you? Are you also kidnapped like I am? Don’t cry, we will get out of here, one way
The door creaks open and footsteps come in their way. He appears in front of them and she looks up at him, hot tears drop from her eyes and he rushes in her way. He holds her in his arms and she puts her head on his shoulder crying softly in his ears. He touches her back softly trying to calm her down.Then he whispers in a deep voice into her ears,“Whoever that made you cry is going to it back tenfold. Do not shed a tear on anything that I can be in my hands, my Lexie, let nothing bother your beautiful mind.”Veronica looks at them quietly for a while and all she could think of is,“If you were couples, how amazing it could be.”She clears her throat and he looks in her way, his face changes from a loving person to an expressionless one and she can’t help herself but ask,“Are you the same person or someone else? How could your emotions change in a second? My name is Veronica Thayer, may I know who you are and why you are holding my friend in this way?”He pushes her from his embrac
All eyes were on me, and I felt like shrinking my neck and hiding behind my brother. But it seemed like he knew what I was thinking about and so he held my hand tightly reassuring me. It did no good until I saw them standing before me. This time, I didn’t mind the cameras flashing on me, all my thoughts were on that one man and the devil beside him. The people that tried to make me end my life when, I had never wronged them in anyway. And here they stood side by side looking affectionate and planning to get married. The fear I had in me vanished and I took a step forward ready to beat the life out of that nonentity.But then, I heard them asking,“Who is that goddess beside you?”And my brother responded,“She’s my fiancée Alexia Rivas.”I looked up at him and he smiled in reply then I thought that it was a camouflage to put my enemies in awe. I felt a hand push my rib lightly and she spoke,“I can’t help myself but think that, your ex husband is looking dashing tonight. I guess that
Alexia’s POVThe video continued to play and showed how, Cecelia and Edward switched rooms and when Alexia got to the hotel and the means she used to get to them. And the terms that were on my divorce certificate, the transfers i made to the Frank family and what remained in my account. it ended, everyone and everything was silent until one person boldly spoke,“Alexia, you have been wronged, you should file a case against her. And the entire family of the Frank for defamation and money loitering. No one, pays such a huge amount of money for her dowry!!”Others joined in the discussion and Edward walked down the platform. Behind him was Cecelia who was now on her knees and her head down. He walked on the red carpet and his mother and sister met him on the way, he looked in my way and his anger was obvious. I finally felt like a huge Rick had been lifted from my head and I could finally breath freely. My brother saw me smile and he walked towards me and stretched his hand saying,“Let’
He picks her up in his arms, her body is covered with the bed sheet. They move out of the room and she keeps calling her name but she has her eyes tightly closed. As they are exiting the building, Alexia stops and looks around, she looks at every corner of the room but she doesn’t find what she is looking for. Jonas stops when he doesn’t feel her following him and he shouts her name,“Lexie!! Let’s get going, what are you looking for?”She rushes out and they board the car, in between them is Veronica, who now has her head laying on her shoulders of Jonas. Alexia keeps sighing and Jonas inquires,“What is your problem now? We have found her, haven’t we? What is now bothering you?”She shakes her head and replies,“I am happy that we found her. But you know, this issue reminded me of what happened before. Did you know, that even when we were still in the room at that time, reporters from nowhere appeared and started taking pictures? But why are there no reporters this time? I could onl
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
