As Bella dressed the grand bed in Alexander's bedroom, she noticed his tensed mood as he sat over the table in his room with some papers in her hands and his laptop opened on the table. Bella could see his hands vibrating with the papers in them. She finished dressing the bed and walked to him at the table."What's making you so nervous this morning?" She asked him.As if he was waiting for her to ask, he dropped the papers on the table and stood up, walking into the free space in the room. He faced her and said, "I have a very important presentation tomorrow morning at the company and I'm nervous" He replied."But you shouldn't be nervous." Bella said."Yes, I know. Years back I would have done this with my eyes closed, without a worry but now I don't know, I'm just scared. It's been long I did something like this. What if I've lost it?" He asked and started pacing round the room."Sir, Relax....."Bella said but Alexander continued as if he did not hear anything."Imagine the board l
Alexander's presentation before the board that morning was a great success. Felix was so proud of Alexander and he gave him a big hug after the meeting. His son was indeed back to his old self. Felix was filled with so much joy. The board so much love Alexander's idea and they had no doubt that their clients would love it too. This was Alexander's first major project since his brother's death and no doubt that it was going to be a huge success. Felix could see a new level for the Grande Empire and he was proud that his son was the reason behind it. That night was going to be a celebration night at the mansion. Claudia had instructed the maids in the special dishes they were to prepare for dinner. Sophia was not excluded from the celebratory dinner. When the news of Alexander's successful meeting had gotten to the mansion, Bella felt happy for him. She was all full of smiles that Christine noticed and teased her about loving Alexander."Stop all these Christine, it's not true. Alexand
While busy with his project, Alexander knew he was missing out on quality time with Bella. He had planned to get Bella to gradually fall in love with him before the anniversary party. It would be at the party that he would tell Bella about his feelings and properly introduce her to his father as the lady behind the change in him. He had began to succeed when they spent that night together in the garden. He had felt Bella's uneasiness and little sparks of love emmitting from her heart. That was a very good start but now his work had taken all his time and attention and for about two weeks, he had not actually seen Bella. If he continued seeing her and sowing those feelings in her then he was sure that before the anniversary party, Bella's heart would have been his. Alexander knew that he had to make time to see her that day and so he intentionally finished his work on time that day and moved every other pending work to the next day. After giving his team assignments, he quickly drove
Christine walked into the room and saw Bella sitted on her bed looking disturbed. She moved to her and sat down beside her."Hey dear, what's wrong?" Christine asked."I don't know." Bella replied, "What is sir Alexander is really in love with me?" she asked, dropping her voice in a whisper to prevent accidental evesdropping."You've finally seen it right? Did he say anything to you?" Christine asked her."He said many things" Bella said."Sweetheart" Christine started with a wild smile on her face, "Sir Alexander is in love with you. It's very obvious from the way he has been around you and it's a good thing" Bella looked at her as she continued, "Imagine you finally married to the only heir to the Grandes Empire. Honey, your life and that of your dad is made" Christine was excited for her friend but was careful enough not to make any noise to attract the attention of other maids."It not that easy" Bella said."Why? I know you love him too. You've just not admitted it to yourself. A
The long awaited day for the Grande's Empire anniversary party finally came. Everything was set for that evening. Alexander made sure that his parents left before him to the grand hotel where the anniversary party would be heard so that he could have time to prepare Bella for the party.First, after he had gotten dressed up in his Forest Green tuxedo. He took Bella to a fashion house where she would be all dolled up for the event. Bella had her outfit, hair and makeup taken care of by the stylist who Alexander had taken her to and after everything, Alexander was stunned to see her. Bella looked so ravishing and beautiful in her elegant glittering gold gown. Her stilletos were gold as well and she had a fancy gold clutch in her hand. Her hair was elegantly done and curled to fall over her shoulders and her make up depicted class and beauty.Alexander was speechless to see her walk up to him in the lobby with a radiating smile on her face."How do I look?" she asked him."You're very be
Every guest present at the grand hall for the Grande's Empire anniversary party paused there various frivolities to pay keen attention to their host for the night, Mr. Felix Grande. Bella, as well as Alexander were also keen on hearing Mr. Felix's speech. As Felix gave his heart prepared speech, Alexander could see his mother and Sophia walk into view and were standing close to the stage where Felix was. Sophia was looking so elegant that evening with her baby pink, two piece gown and a perfectly done hair do. Alexander also noticed that she had worn the necklace he had given her the previous night. Sophia was full of immense joy that it radiated all over her. One look at her and one could tell that she was beaming with an unexplainable happiness. She could not wait for that one special thing that would be happening that night, her long awaited engagement to Alexander. That was one of the major reasons for her father to fly back to the city to attend the event. She just could not wai
When Alexander could not see Bella anywhere in the party, he knew that she had already gone back to the mansion. Quickly, he drove back to the house, wanting to see her and to still tell her about his feelings for her. He had planned a special dinner for both of them that night after the anniversary party would have been over and there he would have confessed his feelings for her and hopefully get her acceptance but his mother had ruined everything for him. Nevertheless, he was still going to do it. He would still tell her in the house and get his love.Knowing Bella, the first place he went to check on her when he got to the house was the garden. And as he walked in, he saw her seated there and probably enjoying the beautiful night's air. He approached her and sat beside her and that was when Bella realized his presence. She adjusted her position on the bench and shifted a little away from him, her head was bend as she played with her fingers, which were on her laps."You left the pa
Sophia and her father got to their mansion, very embarrassed and angry. Douglas, Sophia's father was fuming and being a very hot tempered man, it took him a lot to have held himself at the party. Thanks to the anger management classes he had been undergoing privly.The moment they arrived their house and walked into the large living room, he instantly let out his anger on the beautiful decor on the table just by the door. Pushing every expensive item there to the floor, destroying them in a fit. His groan was very deep and terrifying, and none of the servants and maids came near him, knowing him very well. After his anger fit, they would then go and clear the mess he had maid.Sophia just brooded on her anger. She sat down quietly on the sofa with many things going on in her mind."How dare Claudia make a fool out of me before everybody?!" Douglas's voice thundered in the living room. Sophia still kept quiet, maintaining her posture."Humiliating my daughter, humiliating my family, hu
