After filling her stomach with the delicious breakfast prepared by Martha Alexandra let out a small burp. Alexandra covered her mouth slightly blushing blinking in her eyes looking down on her lap.
Hearing her cute burp Martha chuckled. It was her first time seeing this side of her. She behaved like an adorable child.
Before today she used to eat alone in her room.
It was after two long weeks she had eaten anything 'good'. She missed Martha's home-cooked meals which were both delicious and nutritious. Her stomach was so satisfied that it had let out a burp just to appreciate Martha's food.
"Thank you for the food," She said and strode upstairs to her room. She opened her closet, it was any girl's dream closet because it was spacious and decorated with luminous objects, not just the lights but the ceiling shone as it is made from moonstone.
Her closet was stuffed with denim and T-shirt and other casual clothes. She did not have a single formal dress or clothes from famous brands like Chanel, Dior Gucci.
She didn't keep them because she didn't need them. She did not have any formal meetings or banquets or charity auctions to attend so keeping such extravagant clothes were unnecessary.
She wore a white shirt and black ripped jeans and a denim jacket. She had let her hair loose. She looked like a high school thug even though she was already twenty-four years old.
But it didn't dim her beauty instead, making the outfit look outstanding. She took her car keys and twirled them around her finger.
"I'm out," She said. Matha felt panic hearing those words. She was afraid that Alexandra would leave like the last time she had offended her.
"Where are you going, young miss?" Martha asked in a panic.
"Not far away just going to explore a bit that's all don't worry I will be back" Alexandra assured her and left the mansion.
She got in her red Bugatti and drove off. It was her grandfather's gift for her twenty-fourth birthday which was two weeks ago. She had refused it but he sent it anyway.
She didn't know where she was going but decided to go to the Bluestone Xyst. It was a beautiful place with rare visitors. It was peaceful with streams and lakes and rich wildlife.
It was the place she secretly visited often and because of her liking towards the place, she bought it without her grandfather knowing because if he did he would be more likely to build a new villa there for her.
The place looked even more beautiful in the spring because It was the beginning of May, her favourite month of the year.
It was her grandfather's birthday tomorrow. She didn't send any gifts last year not because she couldn't, it was that she didn't want to.
If she did, the old man would brag about how expensive and luxurious his gifts were compared to her cheap ones which by the way is made by herself.
She wanted to do a job and earn her own money but he would not allow that. She had worked at her grandfather's company and the stocks of Royal Steel had reached their peak under her influence. But she left the company because of the bastard Edward.
She was madly in love with him that she had obeyed him like a puppet. He was the perfect man in her eyes. He too was passionate about her but he restrained her freedom. Edward had taken care of her, loved her but he never respected her.
He would sometimes lash out at her because he doubted her of having an affair with other men. She was so beautiful that she would attract unwanted attention.
He was afraid that she would leave him. She stopped attending formal events and social gatherings and it was a perfect opportunity for her sister Anastasia to spread false rumours about her. She spread rumours that Alexandra was having affairs with many men and even framed her.
It becomes worse when Edward heard those rumours and that's when he completely caged her and when she refused he tortured her in every way possible. Physically, mentally, verbally and sexually. It completely broke her into pieces like fragile glass.
The scars that he had given her were too deep to be healed. After that, she wandered like a preta.
After reaching her destination she stopped her car far from the stream. She got out of the car and breathed in the fresh air rich in tranquillity.
The fresh scent of flowers made her heart and mind serene. She closed her eyes and slowly breathed out all her worries. She could hear the stream steadily flowing and birds chirping. It was like music to her ears.
It was true that you could find solitude in nature's lap. She wandered through the beautiful dandelion meadow and arrived at a stream and sat on its bank.
She removed her shoes and dipped her feet in the cold water. The smooth currents tickled her feet. She saw fishes swimming carelessly completely unbothered by her presence. Suddenly, a fawn came running towards her.
It was the one she had befriended a few days ago. She had found it injured. It was shot by a hunter. She hated it when people entered her turf and injured her animals. She wanted to slit that hunter's throat.
The fawn licked her face like an obedient puppy. Alexandra giggled childishly."It tickles little one"
The fawn sat on her lap and Alexandra gently patted its head caressing it like a baby. She was going to miss this place when she returned to England.
She gently placed the fawn on the grass bed. She stood up and took a deep breath through her mouth sucking its air with all her might.
"I WILL MISS YOU!" she shouted those words at the top of her lungs.
BANG!!!
A loud noise came from the other side of the stream causing the birds to flee from panic in all directions, she couldn't see what or who caused it because of the bushes blocking her view.
She figured out that it must be the hunter and the noise is the gun fired, she rushed to the place where the loud bang came from.
She didn't bother to put on her shoes and ran as fast as she could so she could catch the hunter and punish him.
What she saw completely took her by surprise. A man was lying unconscious, his face was under the water and he had blood oozing out from the injury in his right side of his chest.
It was a gunshot wound and the man had fallen unconscious after his head on the hard rock. Alexandra quickly got his head out of the water so he could breathe.
The man had a handsome face so handsome that it would drive any woman crazy. Alexandra did not have time to admire his beautiful face.
She opened the man's mouth holding his nose and chin and locked her mouth with his.
Alexandra glared lividly at the sleeping man on the hospital bed. The man looked like a sleeping prince charming with his handsome face.She sat on a chair beside him. Her arms and legs were crossed and she had a grim expression on her face. She glanced at the clock it was already noon why hasn't this man woken up?The doctor told her to wait for the patient to wake up only then she could leave the hospital. It's not like she was his guardian or something.She didn't even know this man! Why must she waste her precious time on him? Her hunger didn't help either. She was getting hangry as the clock struck each passing minute.The man slowly lifted his eyelids revealing a pair of arctic blue eyes. Those ocean blue eyes could drown the hearts of many beauties. He momentarily blinked his eyes adjusting the light stinging his eyes.Confused. He looked around and saw Alexandra. He was awestruck by her beauty."Is this heaven why do I see an a
The room temperature dropped because of the brooding man, his eyes forming freezing glaciers to the point where cold sweats ran through Steve's spine. He begged God to send someone to save him. And the merciful God heard him, his phone buzzed from his pocket. He looked at the caller ID and he internally smirked. It was the patriarch of the Jonas family and Jonathan's grandfather Karl Jonas. If there is someone who could keep Jonathan on his toes it was this man.Jonathan did need to look at the phone to know who it was. He had a sour expression on his face. He gestured to Steve to bring them to him and like an obedient puppy, he ran and handed him the phone."Yes grandfather""You ungrateful son of a gun!" Jonathan was almo
Alexandra pounced on her king-sized bed after taking a quick shower like it was the best thing ever. She lay staring at the ceiling adorned with beautiful floral patterns in grey and white. Her room was blue, white-themed. Except for the ceiling each wall was decorated with wall painting all complex patterns and if you look closely you could discover a new meaning to it. It is made by an Eccedentesiast Artist who hides their pains with a smile. And the favourite part of her room was, of course, the balcony where she could admire the beautiful landscapes surrounding the villa. Her room had very large windows which were much larger than the doors. The glass was painted with several shades of glass paint. Her room was practically transparent from the outside because of the larg
Jonathan stared at the window of his private jet. The place looked tiny and he could get a clear view of the place altogether. He wondered where Alexa was currently living. He reluctantly agreed to go back to England because of his stubborn old man, and couldn't believe that he had to waste his million's worth of time courting a woman he didn't even know. He could use that time to look for Alexa, this failure chagrined him deeply. He was afraid that when he came back to the US, she would disappear without a trace. He was determined to kill the woman if that happens. There wasn't a single moment he hadn't thought about her since the time they met, utterly gorgonized by her."Wait for me my love I will come back to you I promise."----------------------------------------
She recalled the words her grandfather had said to her."Never love people more than what they deserve if you do then you are giving them the knife to stab you in the back."Those words sounded too harsh but it was the truth. The people she had blindly loved, and obeyed were the people who stabbed her in the back again and again until she had completely lost all the will to live on. Her sore, almost lifeless legs took her to the large mirror, the shattered pieces of glasses stabbing her delicate feet, bleeding it, and bloody footsteps trailed on the white floor, completely unfazed by the stinging wound.The woman before her was indeed beautiful beyond words. Eyes that seemed to be made from pure gold, her hair the darkest night, that face the finest specimen of art. She
After saying those words, Alexandra pushed him away and took a white towel from her pocket and wiped her hands. Although she had said it to insult him Halton didn't seem offended.He was more than willing to her dog if that's the last thing he can do to attain her forgiveness."I am willing to be your dog."Alexandra stopped wiping her hands and looked him in the eye. He had said this with an open heart and mind.Alexandra didn't say anything for a moment, she diverted her gaze from him and looked at the blue sky."Don't be ridiculous Halton, you are not even worthy to be my dog." Halton clenched his fists. Her words were the bitter truth that he was running away from.He had devoted half of his life to the Old Benjamin. After his death, Halton was no better than an abandoned dog. He was afraid that if Alexandra didn't accept him he might rot in grief and remorse."I know what you are feeling right no
Alexandra was rejoicing in her heart. She was pondering on how to get rid of this man the moment they arrived in London. Now she got a perfect excuse to reject this man and stay away from him. She was indeed angry that this man had insulted her but the insult came to her benefit."Since we are clear now you need not Escort me I will be going with Halton". She turned to leave.Jonathan was about to stop her but Halton stepped before him. Halton glared at him like a crazed dog."You heard her, there is no need you to Escort her. She will be leaving with me"She took her steps towards the door. It felt like the predator had finally moved away from its prey sparing its pitiful life. The dark and bone-chilling entity faded like dark clouds
After 20 minutes they arrived at the family graveyard where the funeral was held. The place was oddly calm and there was no other person present at the moment. Alexandra could even the rustling of leaves in the silence."Are we late?" Alexandra asked. There was a bunch of fresh and fragrant lilies in her hands to place on her grandfather's gravestone. She looked around and she couldn't spot another human other than them."The funeral was held privately as your grandfather had told, There was no one else other than close family members present at the funeral." Halton leads her to her grandfather's gravestone.Alexandra saw that her grandfather was resting beside his beloved wife and Alexandra's grandmother Aristria Winchester.After years of separation, they were finally together. She knew her grandmother wasn't alo
