The weather was unusually pleasant today, the birds chirping a morning song in the arrival of a new day.
They were merry because they have survived yet another day on this earth making each second pleasant. This made her wonder how pitiful humans are, not a single day they can remain happy even though god has granted them a long lifespan.
Even a dog can identify its own kind and the most intelligent creatures ever existed on this planet denies their own kind labelling them different in the name of petty things.
She couldn't bring herself to blame them maybe that's what makes humans special because they can differentiate between good and evil.
It is their choice which one they should choose but most times they didn't have a choice at all. This was the question she was obliged to ask herself. She was going against all blood ties to take revenge.
If they were not blood-related would she ask the same question? What she is going to do is it right?
A review is appreciated! It would motivate me to write more!
This afternoon, Jonathan wanted to prepare something that suited Alexandra's taste. He became more aware of her preferences from the past few days at the hospital. That she did not completely despise seafood. She had only shown her repugnance to fishes but she showed a liking towards Crabs and Lobsters. He had taken a special note of this. Feeling proud of himself, he asked the maid named Jannet to escort him to the majestic kitchen. It was spacious enough to prepare meals for a small town! And so well facilitated, unlike the simpler kitchens he was used to. Chef Ross looked reluctant when Jonathan told him about his decision to prepare lunch for Alexandra. Chef Ross had worked as the head cook for over a decade, and he had never let a guest cook the meal because that would be discourteous. "My apologies, Sir Jonas but we cannot let our madam's honorable Fiance cook when we are here to do the job!" Chef Ross cried
Alexandra stepped inside the dining hall, followed by Jonathan who still hasn't recovered from her outrageous punch. Why does this woman always have to respond with violence?!"What are these?" Alexandra asked pointing at the unfamiliar dishes served on the table. She took a seat. Her flawless face grimaced when Jonathan sat right beside her. Grabbing the chair she moved her seat further away from him, he tried his best to hide his amusement seeing her being so childish."They are crab cakes, you like crabs don't you?" He asked, he hoped her mood wouldn't turn crabby because of the dish.Alexandra deposited a neutral look."I do..."She didn't expect him to take note of the little things she liked, she had never mentioned liking crabs...was he being observant of her the whole time? How creepy."Tell me if you like it, I can make some more next time." Jonathan smiled, he wanted to pat himself on the back for his effort.
Alexandra's fingers outrageously typed on the Macbook, as if she was about to break the keys with her intensity. She re-checked all the files that were sent via email and had a hard time properly signing the paperwork with her shaky right hand.Her body went through concurrent shivers as the lust for alcohol overwhelmed her. She seethed in a cold breath and reclined on her armchair. She rubbed her throbbing temples and poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down as if it was her favourite liquor.Water is too plain for her liking. If only she could turn water into wine.She glanced at the clock and was surprised at how she managed to sit before the laptop for seven freaking hours. She really is a resolute workaholic.Getting up from the chair, her knees let out a crack. It went numb after being immobile for seven hours straight. She walked around her room in circles and decided to have a view of the Balcony.The
A salient shadow soundlessly opened the door, careful not to make a single squeak. The lights were dimmed but it could perfectly figure out where Alexandra slept. She must have taken her sleeping pills by now. And now it was the perfect occasion to finish her off! The shadow made its way to Alexandra's bed, like a snake prying its prey. Those dark minacious eyes watched the beauty taking steady breaths, the nightmares weren't interrupting her sleep. Thank god. The shadow pulled out a kitchen knife, its steel edge reflecting off the silver moonlight. It slowly lifted the equipped hand, aiming to plunge Alexandra's beating flesh. Suddenly, the lights were turned on, Alexandra shot opened her eyes and sat upright to see Jonathan's gun pointed towards her. Alexandra's eyes rounded as her body was tugged back by someone and a cold knife was pressed against her nodding throat. "Put your gun down or this bitch will be the one getting slit." A feminin
The following morning, the sun's warmth poured directly over Alexandra's face. She blinked open her eyes, taking in the blinding light little by little. A familiar pain in her abdomen jolted her awake, she grimaced and let out a frustrated groan. She turned to her right to see the handsome prince charming of a man sleeping soundly next to her bed. "Wake up." She called in her neutral tone. And as she expected he didn't budge. "Wake the fuck up!" She shouted, smacking his head. Jonathan sleazily opened his eyes, it was morning already? He gave a dopey smile to the grumpy beauty. "Good morning." Alexandra lifted her dishevelled blanket. 'Fuck' She cursed. What a great day to wake up in a puddle of her own blood. "What's wrong?" He worriedly asked. "Nothing." She mumbled, hiding her upper body in the blankets with a sullen face. He didn't buy it. In a flying move, he lifted the blanket off her body. Onl
"I am glad you agreed on this partnership, Mr Jonas." Kameron reached out for a handshake and Jonathan gladly took it. They were at an upper-crust luxury hotel that overlooked the big ben in the city of London. A whole hour had silently ticked by as they discussed the Canal Project. Kameron wanted this to be a great success because he had invested all of his time and money in it. He wanted to co-partner with Jonathan because they somewhat shared the same interest when it comes to the construction business. "I was quite impressed with the presentation. Your company is one of the top five in the country after all." Jonathan complimented. Kameron was a smart businessman and was particularly picky when it comes to investing. Jonathan had doubted his talents before, but this project he was talking about is so well planned. He could tell how much Kameron wanted this to work. Kameron raised an amiable smile. "If it's alright wit
"What happened to your face?" Jacob asked his older brother after noticing the faint scratch mark that marred his face. Jonathan was busy getting ready for his next meeting. He had to discuss the Canal project with a German Architect, Mr Weber this afternoon. "I got scratched by a cat," Jonathan grumbled, not lifting his eyes from the computer screen. A smirk showed up on Jacob's mouth as he caught who this 'cat' was. "She must be a feisty one," Jacob commented. An indistinct smile waggled on Jonathan's lips. "A VERY feisty one." If it were another man, then he would have already packed his bags and ran for his life. Alexandra's temperament is too unpredictable, you never know when she might pounce on you. He wouldn't mind if she pounced, thinking about it made his core heat with temptation. "What did you do?" Jacob asked, staring at Jonathan with curious eyes. Not a week had passed
It was afternoon break and Halton grabbed a can of soda from the vending machine, after hours of pacing back and forth from the office this will be a reward for his hard work. "Are you free right now, Mr Miller?" Halton turned around to see Jane Warren standing behind him with a sweet smile. "Yeah...is there anything I can help you with?" He asked, maintaining polite conduct. "No, I was just asking if it's alright for us to have lunch together," Jane asked, a blush crept up her face. Upclose, Halton looked even taller and the grey suit couldn't hide his broad features. Halton thought about it for a moment, since he is free right now. Why not? Plus, he was super hungry as well."I can join you." He answered with a delightful smile that made Jane's heart skip a beat. __________________ They arrived at a regular restaurant, it was a comfortable place even if it was a little crowded at the moment. Halton pulled
