Xander Redent
I went back to my office and drowned myself with work. My sister came into my office and asked me to have dinner together. I agreed and we went to a restaurant near our house.
"Why are you looking at the steak like that?" My sister, Eva asked.
"I don't have any appetite." I said as I took the wine glass right next to the plate and drank a couple of sips.
"Lindsey?"
"I broke up with her." I said truthfully.
"Good because I don't like her."
"You never like my girlfriend." I hissed and she laughed.
"Of course, everyone of them is a slut and your longest relationship that you've ever been is like..
Athena LemiereAs soon as I arrived in London, the royal guards picked me up at the airport. I got into the car and they drove me to the palace right away. I took a really deep breath and realized that it's getting real and close. We will get married in 2 months and I finished listing the invitation yesterday.The question is.. am I ready?"Ms. Lemiere, you will have lunch with the queen at 1 and then you will have a small meeting about the wedding at 3." The royal secretary said."Okay.""You will have free time after the meeting is finished." She said and I smiled nodding to her."Thankyou." I said and she smiled. I took out my phone from my bag and messaged Jacob that I'm already here in
Xander RedentI looked at myself at the mirror to check my appearance. I reached Jacob and asked him to have dinner together. He invited me to the palace and I agreed of course because with that I can see Athena.One of the guards opened the door for me and they led me to the living room for me to wait."Yes, Ms. Lemiere. We can work with it tomorrow." My brain reacted to Lemiere's name quickly and I looked around trying to find where the voice came from. I got up and walekd towards the stairs."Okay good, I want to show my parents the wedding dress first so please tell them again that I want an appointment on Thursday around 1." My eyes caught Athena talking to her secretary. My eyes caught how beautiful she is in her dark blue spaghetti strap dress. It fell unto her knees
Athena Lemiere"You crossed the line." I said to Xander coldly."I have to.""Who do you think you are? I love Jacob and you want to ruin my life?!" I bursted angrily."You don't love Jacob." That made me turn to him, he was looking outside the window."You really crossed the line, Xander. Stop being a jerk and get out of my life and Jacob's!" I hissed."If you really love him, why didn't you tell him that you're a mechanic and how you love cars? Aren't you suppose to be yourself in front of someone that you love?" That got me. It was like he's stabbing ne with a knife right into my heart. That got me speechless too and I can't even think of an answer for it.
Xander RedentI looked up to the building in front of me and sighed. Last night, I threw my pride away and decided to write Athena a letter. A deep.. and honest letter. I wrote it a thousand times and I even can't decide which one that I should choose. I don't even know if the letter can reach you either.I walked into the Lemiere building and everyone that passed by were looking at me like I'm some kind of monster. I walked to the reception desk and asked the staff to call Matthew Lemiere. I was nervous as hell and I prayed every second so Matthew could let me in and talk to him."What are you here for, Mr. Redent?" She asked and I sighed."Wanna talk about the land in Colorado and about Athena." I said truthfully and then repeated it. She said yes a few times and then she
Athena LemiereI looked outside through the window and took a really deep breath. I can't believe 3 weeks have passed and I will get married in 2 days. I turned my head to the door and found my dad walking towards me with a smile."Hey dad." I said and I hugged him."Are you nervous?" He asked and I nodded."Don't worry.. Just don't trip over your dress." He touched my nose and I chuckled."Don't worry, I won't." I said and then I turned back to the view with my dad standing beside me."You know.. you don't look excited. I remembered when I was going to married your mom, she's crazy, but you don't have the same look as your mom.""I'm excited.. I'm j
Athena Lemiere"You look beautiful, Athena. It reminds me of your mother." My dad said as I tried the wedding dress for the last time before the big day tomorrow."Thanks, dad." I forced myself to smile. I felt my eyes hurting a lot because I've been crying lately. I put a lot of ice packs everynight but it seems it can't heal my eyes that fast. Jacob asked me a couple of times for it but I just lied to him that a bug bit my eyes."I hope I won't trip ober my dress tomorrow." I said trying to laugh but it came out as a really boring joke. I saw my dad smiled through the mirror."Your mom did.. she was the clumsiest person in this world." My dad said and I chuckled."Wow.. I can't believe that I will get married this young." I said a
Xander RedentI was looking at the building in front of me completely confuse how to get rid of the part that cross Lemiere's land. I still have the lawsuit with me and I guess the Lemiere's are too busy to ask me how to take care of all this shit."I guess.. we have to get rid of the parking lot and buy the land in front of it." I said to my secretary and he shook his head."I'm sorry, Mr. Redent, but the land right in front of us is Lemiere's too. We can't buy it because they're planning to build something." I sighed closing my eyes."So when will you get rid of it?" My whole body froze when I heard her voice. I turned my body slowly and saw her looking at me with her eyebrows raised.And again.. she took my breath away. She was w
Xander RedentI swear that I'm trying not to stare but I can't help it. She's sitting in front of me looking so beautiful and breathtaking, how can I not stare? She's the one that I want all this time and now.. she's someone else's.It's been 2 months since her marriage and I still can't believe that I still want her despite telling myself to give up."This is so good." She said and I nodded but I don't have any appetite right now. I miss her a lot and seeing her again was like a dream to me."You okay?" She asked and I looked at her smiling."I'm fine.""Why are you so uncomfortable then? Is it because you're eating with someone else's wife? or eating with the Princess of UK?"
