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 A mysterious buyer
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 tightly, like it would jolt her, up to no avail. "Anaphylatic shock!! Alert!! Clear the defibrillator!" The nurse yelled and my heart stopped. "Clear!!!! Shock!!!!" They followed urgent protocols trying to revive her pulse. All efforts however seemed like water was being poured on stone. "This might be thrombosis. Is there any epinephrine left? Her body is reacting to the venom. " "No sir. I already asked them to prepare some at the hospital." The second man replied. "Then we have to be fast.
Replacing his murdered bride Surprise.. snake!
Background song: This town by Sasha Sloan and Kygo. Getting to see Jimmie expose this side of her to me, felt like a win. She was calm, cheerful and optimistic. It was more surprising, given the fact that, I almost walked in on her bawling her eyes yesterday in my bathroom. I had to pretend when she came downstairs as, I was scared of upsetting her. Watching her give in to me and sleep like a baby besides me was comforting. Right now, all I wished for was the time to freeze and let her remain in my arms. Her hands worked effortlessly behind me while, she knotted the apron at my waist. Her touch was fluffy, smooth and collected. With her auburn hair on my chest, breath trickling down my chest like cool water and her heart pounding erratically in her chest. I could tell she was nervous but, she was good at masking it. "I'm done." She announced and drew herself from my hold. "Show me what you've got, Mr. Royales." "At your service ma'am!" I drawled at her, offering her a slight ge
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 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
Replacing his murdered bride Priced asset
POV: AUDREY. If there was one thing I despised, it was being the center of attraction. But, getting involved with Alexander has made that extremely impossible and because my temper is one feature that I have little control over, it just puts me in a bad position. His shadow literally silences t
