"Amber?!" Christopher was surprised to see who had been standing at the door and soon became nervous.Roxanne slowly got up from the couch and examined the two. She watched Amber's eyes momentarily traveled to the couch she had Christopher had been seating before biting down on her lower lip.Yeah, how does it feel to see your man about to make love to another. Roxanne thought as walked towards the door and purposely wrapped her hand along Christopher's upper arm."Amber, why are you here so late?" She asked like the caring fiancé, tilting her head to the side in confusion to make her acting look all that believable.Amber couldn't stand seeing Roxanne all mushed up to Christopher. He was her man and more than ever, she wished to tear the two apart, but simply kept her calm after remembering what big plans Christopher had for them both."I'm sincerely sorry for coming by so late at night, but I couldn't contact Sir Christopher and he wasn't by his house and I needed to get ahold of hi
It was grand. More than ever, Roxanne had never seen an engagement party so lavish and neither had she expected the Laurent family to put such wealth into Lance's engagement ceremony.There were many guest, some that even Roxanne knew and was pleased to see and others that she wasn't, like Amber. Although Roxanne understood that Amber's father, Mr Snow, had been a diligent employee of Laurent cop back in his young days, she didn't see the need for inviting them.Stepping into the full venue with Christopher beside her, Roxanne had expected Amber to cling at Christopher's arm the first chance she got, but to her surprise, Christopher avoided Amber's gaze.Roxanne glanced between the two for a few seconds confused, until she finally realized what was happening. It was the obvious, they were having a lover's Spat.How lovely. Roxanne bit back the thought as they stepped into the main venue of the engagement ceremony. It was the outer garden decorated bountifully with red roses and other
A few minutes after Roxanne had stumbled her way into the women's restroom, Amber glanced sheepishly at a waiter beside her and signaled that he follow Roxanne. The waiter, placed his tray down then gave a curt nod before stalking off. Amber couldn't help but chuckle in delight as she folded her arms and watched the people in front continue to go frenzy due to Lance's absence.Today was finally the day she showed Christopher Roxanne's true color. Amber thought with a pleasant feeling roaming her stomach. She had despised Roxanne so much when she had earlier tried to teach her all about morals. What did she know? Just because she was from a family of aristocrats didn't give her the right to look down on Amber.For that, she was going to make Roxanne's life a living hell. Amber thought with a smirk and found the waiter she had sent after Roxanne stalking back towards her. She couldn't suppress the smile of delight that broke out on her lips and just when she was getting ready to pull Ch
"You sly man stealing whore." Penelope's friend, Janet, squeezed past Christopher and Lance and rushed into the room before either of them could react. In seconds, she had ripped the blanket right off the bed, exposing the naked body of the female laying on the bed.Christopher's eyes widened as he realized the woman on the bed was not Roxanne, but rather Juliana Curt, the college mate Roxanne had spoke of countless of times."Are the lot of you nuts?!" Lance angered voice tore through the room as she broke free of Christopher's hold and matched over to Janet who was about attacking Julie. He snatched the blanket from her hand, glaring daggers at her as he placed it back over an embarrassed Julie."Is this the respect you show towards the Laurent name?" He growled and Janet shivered under his intimidating gaze.She shrank back, entwining her hands as she suddenly lost all confidence from earlier. Maybe she should have listened to her friend from earlier and maintained. The thought cro
For a brief moment, Roxanne was bemused. Without any warning, Lance had materialized and announced he was taking her home.What a mad man! Roxanne thought as she tried to leap out of his embrace, only to be caught by her wrist and pulled back."Behave." Lance instructed as he turned to Alicia, forcing a smile as he uttered. "Be a dare and take care of Julie for me, would you?"The doctor seemed to hesitate for a while. She had other plans before now, but seeing as this was a request from a friend, she couldn't say no.Sighing, she nodded her head just as Lance chugged her the keys to the waiting room he and Julie had been in. Alicia glanced between he and Roxanne one last time before walking off and leaving them alone.Almost immediately after she had left, Lance began to pull Roxanne towards his car. She noticed this and tried fighting out of his hold.She struggled vigorously for a few seconds, trying to get her wrist free and far away from Lance, as she was in no mood for his theoc
As Roxanne took the first step into Lance's penthouse, she was left dumbfounded, forgetting for a minute that where she was meant to be was some hundred dollar room and not a thousand dollar exquisite suit."This isn't a hotel room." Roxanne stated the obvious as she snapped out of the trans she had been put in by the penthouse's beauty.Lance looked above his shoulder, smirking at her with a nod of his head as he took off his suit and placed it on the head of his sofas."Of course it's not." He said, backing up Roxanne's statement.At this, the blonde felt anger surge up in her."What the hell, Lance." She spat. "Do you ever listen to a word I say?""I listen," Lance spoke, as he emerged from where Roxanne assumed was the kitchen. "But at times I just chose to play things my way."Roxanne gritted her teeth. Why did it always seems like Lance could easily get under her skin.That wasn't the only thing he had been getting under as of recent. Her mind noted the quick reminder, plasterin
The very next morning, Roxanne was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing.She peeled her eyes opened and tried getting up only to be pulled back down by a pair of strong arms.For a second, confusion seemed to reel in Roxanne's mind. She had almost panicked until the previous day's event came flooding into her head.Staying still for a moment, the blonde quietly sighed through her lips and glanced behind her, coming face to face with Lance's sleeping face.It was beautiful. No matter the number of times she refused to admit it, seeing his face up close bad forced her into a state of acceptance.His cheekbones were more pronounced than usual, giving him an intimidating appearance as he slept. His lashes fanned out like feathers, and they gave off an angelic look accompanied by the strands of his thick black hair, the sleeping prince charming looked like a surreal entity that couldn't be found anywhere else on this planet.After a while of staring and examining his face, Roxanne deci
"Sir! We have a problem, all the investors are suddenly asking to pull out their funds. They no longer want to work with us!"Christopher couldn't believe his ears. The words of his colleague sounded much like childs play."What?" He manages to mutter as his gaze found its way to where Roxanne stood, staring at him apathetically almost as if she knew what was happening.No, it wasn't 'almost as if she knew', she did know what was happening. In fact, she was the one behind why it was happening.The thought dawned on Christopher and soon he was scrambling back to where she was, taking her hand in his and begging."Roxy, babe aren't you taking things a tad bit extreme? I know you are angry, but please reconsider." He pleased, knowing how much the investors that Roxanne brought had helped his company.If they were to pull back now... If he was to lose Roxanne's support now, all his plans would fall into shambles.Christopher bit the inside of his lip in regret. How hadn't he remembered th
