POV: ALEXANDER.

The sound of the siren was in sync with the frantic beating of my heart, as the ambulance raced to the hospital. Jimmie's face had turned pale and her body laid stiff on the stretcher, her weak pulse being the only notable movement. The nurses and paramedics hazzled through their complicated machines and equipment, to keep her alive. But, as the beeping of the ventilator increased, I felt her going further away to the ambers.

In panic, I held her hand in mine, squeezing tightl

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Lifeless

    POV: ALEXANDER. I have had enough for the night at this point. I turned to my mom, my fist clenching together. "The..." But Jimmie beat me to it. "Therapist?" She gasped, fluttering her lashes in shock. "Is there something I don't know?" "Mom, could you explain this to me properly? How did this man end up being your therapist?" I queried, my eyes shooting imaginary lasers at Lexan. "Do you guys know each other?" My mom retorted suspiciously. "Who doesn't know about the enigmatic billionaire Alexander and his gorgeous red haired bride, Jimmie?" He taunted, flashing a wicked grin at me. "And fortunately," I mocked him, "he just happened to be my wife's best friend of fifteen years. A beautiful coincidence I must admit." I spat in disgust. "You make it sound like a crime." Lexan chipped in casually. "Basically it is." I shot out, "I mean, you somehow managed to have the Royales' women, wrapped around your stupid finger." "Alexander!" Jimmie called out angrily. "what was t

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Therapist

    POV: AUDREY. Here we go again. Underlying illegal business agreements sealed under the guise of a party. And this time, it was Alexander's mom birth party. —I was taken aback when she sent for me, shortly after my discharge. What more could it be other than ladies talk?I shrugged and went on to meet her. Well, let's say there was more to it than ladies talk. It was about an heir to her conglomerate. I never really thought that far before agreeing to sign off this marriage. She asked me about our sex life– which I don't even plan on having with him— amongst many other things including going for hospital check-ups, visiting her gynaecologist and even a Chinese medicine specialist. My mind was spiralling but I couldn't do anything about it. The truth still remains that the main reason for this marriage was to sign off a multi-billion contract deal. Secondly, for bearing Alexander's child. But my plan was entirely different. First, to find my sister's murderer. Two, to divorc

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Satin dress

    POV: ALEXANDER. I thought I had lost it when I walked in on him circling his arms around her. But when he gave her a peck, flashing a mysterious grin at me, my insides exploded. "I will see you later." He beamed at her before leaving, like he didn't just set our atmosphere on fire. "Mr. Royales, we might catch up very soon." he flashed a grin at me and I caught sight of the orchid designed hairpin in his breast pocket. Who carries a hairpin around these days? When he left, my head snapped to Jimmie. "What was that?" "It's really nothing to worry about. That's just his way of greeting." She maintained a normal look after her absurd utterance. Like it made any sense to her. "Do you even hear yourself Hazel?" I probed. "Loud and clear.." "For fuck sake! You know I don't like any other creature close to you. Let alone another man." "Lexan's not a creature." She defended him. "He's my best friend.." But I cut her off. "Well, you are a WIFE, –not just any wife but my wife–

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Jealous

    POV: AUDREY. My lips first curled into a smile, not because I was happy but, because the world was being so unfair to Jimmie. She was always a peaceful and loving person. She didn't deserve what happened to her. "Drey," he murmured before he took my hand in his. "I know it's revolting. They are trying so hard to make us give Jimmie up but we can't. Not until we give her the justice she deserves." " I'm so fucking tired. Everyday, I wake up and recall what happened to her, the blame just hits me. I feel like all these wouldn't have happened, if I was able to stop this marriage." "Yes Drey, you didn't do it then. But you still can. And with you through every step of the way. This door is closed now. All we have to do is find another door." I looked At him through my wet lashes. "Don't cry..." he consoled and drew me into a warm hug. "Why don't we divert into another means?" He asked when I had broken from the hug. "What do you suggest?" "Honestly, I'm short of ideas. Do you ha

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Robbed

    POV: AUDREY. As soon as Alexander walked out, I turned to Lexan in haze. "Why would you do that?" I questioned, "Scratch that, how did you even know I was here?" "That's not important Drey. How are you faring?" He asked, voice laced with concern. His mood has shifted instantly. "Well, I was fine until you barged in and made a scene here. Alexander's my husband Lex. No matter how hard it is for me to accept, I have to put up with him, at least for Jimmie. He's the only hope and suspect for attaining justice." I dished out to him, my blood boiling from anger. "What would you have me do Audrey? You always fall into one misfortune of the other whenever you are with that man. How does he stand as a husband if he can't even safeguard you?" "You think he wanted this to happen?" "It only seems like it." He spilled. In my fifteen years of knowing Lexan, this was the first time he was breaking through his calm nature. Even when he lost his parents, he didn't react to this extent. "Lex

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Confrontation

    POV: AUDREY. My eyes were already wearing out from staring too much at the white ceiling above me. The underlying sting of the syringe in my arm as well as frequent kissing of goosebumps on my skin wasn't encouraging too. Even when I try hard not to remember it, the image of the black snake bitting into my skin, was clearer than my vision and my body shuddered each time I remembered it. Finally mustering up some courage, I decided to quit waiting on Alexander and grab some fruits before he arrived. I wondered what kept him late. It's been four hours. "Ma'am," a nurse called out, waking briskly into the room. "Let me help you." She offered and gently took my hand in hers, placing the other on my waist. "Thank you." I muttered quietly, flashing a smile at her. "How do you feel right now?" "Much better, apart from the occasional trembling of my body from fear." I chuckled awkwardly. "Its normal for snake bite patients. You will get over it eventually. Just try to stay with som

  • Replacing his murdered bride    The Basement

    POV: AUDREY. It didn't cross my mind that the two people who pushed me into Alexander's crosswheel would be the first to call me, should anything happen. My emotions tend to function faster than my thoughts. I stared at the buzzing phone–mom was boldly displayed on the screen– unsure of wha

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Glass house of comfort

    POV: AUDREY. The neon lights from the city's bustling life blurred progressively, as the bus sped like a prey fleeing from its predator. The rhythm of my heart could almost be mistaken for that of a drum– wild, chaotic and uneven– but somewhere beneath that panic, a wave of satisfaction lingere

  • Replacing his murdered bride    Crime scene

    POV: ALEXANDER. My chest tightened with a feeling I was familiar with but hated to admit it. My fist curled—but not out of anger— out of shame. This was my fault for caging her and stripping her of choices. She must have felt suffocated and no woman in her right mind would survive in that envir

  • Replacing his murdered bride    The escape

    POV: ALEXANDER. I slammed the door behind her, slumping on the marble floor and pinched my temples hard. Ever since Jimmie got to be in my life, I have been spiraling and it's the reason why I haven't been home in a while. I didn't want to lose my cool on her but, all she does is push me to the
