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
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
