Thirty One
Alexandra's POV
It's been seventeen hours since I last saw Aiden. I hosted the show even though anyone could see how my mind was all over the place. That was until the first break when Troy gave me an earful of words I would rather not repeat then followed by comfort. After, he and I went to a cute coffee shop next to the company's building and talked for an hour until I decided to go back home. And by home, I mean Aiden's house. Paul dragged me to Aiden's place as instructed by his don. No threat can break that man, I swear.In his house, his staff has treated me like some royalty since I arrived. It's a little bit overwhelming and so I've been trying to keep myself busy in Aiden's room as I look at my emails and the reports from the club that Bob, the head of staff from the club has sent me. He is really good at his work.My phone vibrates and I immediately pick it up, hoping that it is Aiden but instead I find an email notification. Two emails notificatRelated chapters

"You're cute." Sean mocks as he walks closer to me. He stands right in front of me. I don't show any reaction. "Sweet Alex. Now that you are fucking the don you think you have power? You think you are the big bad lion? You are still the scared kitten to me. The kitten that was afraid of its own shadow. Don't dare to threaten me Alex. You made a deal and you have to keep it.""I will only if you bring back Kelly.""Don't overestimate your power Alex. I could just decide to form an alliance somewhere else.""Aiden doesn't need you. You need him.""Actually he does. I'll wait for both of you to realize that. Go be a good girl and go to that car, my men will deliver you safely to your lover boy and I'll deal with Kels." He raises his hand and my arm is yanked. I turn and follow the man to another car. I sit in it and look at Sean give out some instructions to his men just as the car starts moving."Where are you taking me?" I ask as I look ar

When I get in the kitchen, I find Sean eating a sandwich and a glass of juice, Oliver standing at the end of the counter glaring at him as he sips on his glass of water."Oliver, can I talk to you?" He nods and gets out of the kitchen. "Just a minute." I tell him before going to the chef that I've seen a couple of times here."Hi. Could you prepare my friend something light like some soup and bread? And some hot milk or coffee? Thanks." The lady nods and that is my cue to leave the kitchen.I find Oliver standing in the living room, looking at his phone. "Hi." I start. He switches it off and looks at me. "What's your plan?" I ask but he only scoffs as he looks away."I have to seat here and babysit the bunch of you. That's the plan." He shrugs but anyone can see the irritation on his face. I decide to take a different approach."How is my sister?" My sister, Naomi decided to leave and take a break away from everything. Her cosmetics compa

By the time I wake up, it is at four a.m. and Kelly is still asleep but you can hear her mumble and cry from time to time. I watch her for about five minutes as I try whispering soothing words.That is until she starts crying, calling Sean's name to help her. Sean told me he had found her in a room with torn clothes and had to try to convince her that he's was there to protect her. I rub her back soothingly until she calms down and that is when I get up and start preparing for the day.Kelly and I will be going to my house where I'll take care of her but first, I have to take her to the hospital to have the tests needed as suggested by the doctor.I go to Aiden's room and get into the warm shower after brushing my teeth. Ten minutes later, I'm done. Feeling fresher and livelier. I walk into the closet in only a towel and smile when I see that the clothes are already cleaned and placed appropriately. I might have t-shirts here but I go for Aiden's and one of my sweatpants. I tie my hai

"You want me to come in with you?" I ask Kelly but she shakes her head negatively. "I'll be fine." She answers with a small smile. I squeeze her hand once and release it. She walks through the door where the nurse waits for her. When the door is shut behind them, I sit on the metallic chairs next to me. About five minutes later, I start pacing around, think about a lot of things and who I have to call. I don't even know how my parents are. I haven't even checked the club and I'm sure Troy is so mad right now. I check the closed doors for a second and decide to go to the parking lot and look for Paul."Hey, Paul. I need another favor to ask for." He raises an eyebrow encouraging me to go on. "I need a new phone and I believe you know where to find one, yes?" I ask as I open my purse to take out my credit card."Yeah. I have a friend who has this business. What type do you need?" I tell him to buy the best android they have and I can work with effectively.

Kelly had been given some antibiotics and pain killers before we left the hospital. Paul had bought a new phone for me and I hadn't wasted a second before transferring everything to it. The first people I called were my parents who told me that they were fine and promised to go have our usual Friday dinner together. I had to excuse Aiden with a lie about work.Second, I called Troy and told him I was feeling really sickCalla played it off saying it was his ego talking. I believed her, but I had a different feeling. Right now, I'm lyi

At seven sharp Thursday, I am woken up by a kick against my abdomen. I grunt in pain as I open my eyes and glare at a sleeping Kelly. I see her face hold a pained emotion before a laugh comes out as her eyes flutter open."Good morning sunshine." She says sweetly but my glare intensifies and she lets out a dramatic gasp. "I forgot that you're not a morning person when you have your periods." I don't say anything before she moves back slowly."You know what? Just go back to sleep and I'll make your tea as you like it. Do you need any more painkillers? Chocolate? Anything? No? Okay bye." She gets out of bed and walks faster than I've seen her in the couple of days. As soon as she's out of my sight, I let out a full blown smile seeing a glimpse of my friend. She's not there yet but this is progress and anyone can see how much she's trying.My headache is bearable that I don't need any painkillers to survive and so far I haven't felt any back pain. I lie back

"Why am I here again?" Kelly asks with a sigh as she takes my hand so that she can comfortably jump the muddy floor."Okay, this is not the best venue to conduct business but you know I can't risk this." I explain. We are inside an abandoned building that Sean had suggested we meet when I told him that I have to see him secretly. He doesn't know anything about Aiden's plan. All he knows is that Aiden and I are not together and he's taking it so badly that he can't see anyone. Just as everyone else believes. Well, apart from his family and Kelly.It's been two weeks since Aiden told me those hurtful words. We haven't spoken again but he's acted his part well. A heartbroken playboy who got played by The Alexandra Black. This caused a lot of mixed reactions from my viewers. Most of them were mad but a good number was also pleased and commended me for it. As for me, I had to keep a face but I would pretend to cry sometime when I knew it was convenient and the other sp

"Alex, your photographer says he'll be here in twenty. Be ready." Troy points two fingers at me as he tries to seem serious. I give him a curt nod and turn to the novel I've been reading for the past thirty minutes as I wait for 'Mr. Don't be late'... aka the photographer. I hear Troy give out instructions and tells my assistant to make sure my make-up is in place. I roll my eyes at this. Troy is acting like a kid just because I had to transfer his boyfriend to another club further away. He blames me for that and for his boyfriend keeping a secret from him. A secret he promised to find out about.I see a frustrated Carla come in a few seconds later. "I swear Troy these days..." Carla lets out a frustrated sigh as she puts her fists together and motions a crushing gesture. She starts pacing inside my green room as she breathes in and out trying to calm herself down."You know how he is. He can be a bitch if he really wants to." I say placing the novel on the table i
