Replacing his murdered bride The investigation
POV: AUDREY. The view outside the party hall was more chaotic than the inside. People scrambled around looking for their loved ones while some psychologically traumatized victims were being rushed to safety. The police had barred the place, preventing anyone from leaving or entering and this created more frenzy in the compound. Interrogations had began, profiling and the forensics patrolled in and out of the crime scene. Alexander sat beside me behind a paramedics van, frozen in time by his thoughts and the gravity of the accident– or rather, murder. His face has turned pale, his breathing so slow, it almost felt like a crime. My eyes looked to his own and instead of his normal brown steady gaze, they had darkened like the hades, with no lingering feeling at all. My hands trembled and cold shivers ran down my spine with minutes intervals, but I had to calm myself down. For Alexander. Truth still remained that this was the true nature of anything that involved politics and pow
Replacing his murdered bride Amanda’s death
POV: Audrey. At first, everywhere went totally silent and Alexander's hands went cold under my palms. The Chandelier light shown directly on the figure laying on the stage. Suddenly, all hell let loose. The guest and party invites scrambled towards the exit door, creating a stampede as they raced for their dear lives. In a few minutes, we were engulfed by the crowd and Alexander slipped from my hands, racing to his mother's body. "Alexander!!" I yelled and went after him, but it was too late. He had been swallowed by the crowd. My feet came to a halt and I scanned the massive crowd with my hazel eyes, panic rising in me. My heart was throbbing without control and I was already sweating profusely. Suddenly, a muscular arm pulled me out of the charade. "Audrey!!" Lexan yelled, trying to jolt me back to sanity. "We have to leave here, now!!" "But Alexander.." He cut me off, "Alexander can sort himself out. You are more important to me right now!" "No!!" I flung his hand away
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 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
Replacing his murdered bride The clique
POV: AUDREY. Mariah, Carey and Bethany were known as the clique since high school. Their friendship bond was very rigid but they were never up to any good. From bullying others to stealing from them and disrespecting the teachers, they eventually made a name for themselves. However, their pare
Replacing his murdered bride Guilt
POV: Audrey. The bright light seeping from the window nearly blinded me as my pupils struggled to adjust to it. Rubbing my hazy eyes, I sat up lazily. Butler Charles was standing near the curtains, hands clasped behind him like he had been waiting for me all morning. “Good morning Charle
