After Aria and Alessa were done welcoming the guests, they headed back to their table as the entertainment began. Damien and Aiden were at the table and they were having a conversation. Whatever the conversation was seemed to interest Damien a lot because he paid so much attention to it. Aria and Alessa got to the table and they both turned to them. Alessa’s eyes met Damien's and her heart skipped a beat.‘Stupid heart.’ she screamed in her head. They both took a seat and Alessa sat next to Damien while Aria sat next to Aiden.“Is this what you do now? You host dumb parties and dress up fancy?” Damien asked as he looked at her. The kids couldn't hear their conversation. Alessa didn't look at him as she gave a response. She poured herself a drink.“No, this is the first time and I had no idea until it was too late to turn it down,” she replied as she brought the glass closer to her lips. “Really? If you don't know you are all over the news. Have you read the headlines? The billi
“You can run from me but you can't hide,” he said and Alessa closed her eyes as memories came flooding in. She took in a deep breath before turning to him. Their eyes met and her heart started to race faster. He looked different and better than the last time she saw him. He has always looked good.He was dressed in a tuxedo which suited him perfectly. His hair was styled nicely.“Really, Cara? Eye fucking me already?” he asked and Alessa snapped out of her thoughts. He was about to take a step closer to her when Alessa stepped back a little as she felt goosebumps all over her body. She started to gasp as she found it difficult to breathe. He kept calm as he watched her.He was about to speak when the door to the living room opened and Thane walked in. “Ma’am… “ he trailed off seeing Alessa gasping. He rushed to her and froze when he saw who it was. His heart skipped a beat as he held his gaze. Despite being terrified of the man in his presence, Thane stood in front of him as Ale
It's a day left before the third ball of the season and Alessa was busier than ever. She was putting in so much effort because she wanted her ball to be the talk of the season. Tracy was helping which made things a little bit easier and faster for her. Her kids were also helping.Aria has been trying to remember the names of the important guests and their businesses while Aiden has been supportive. His best way of helping was by giving emotional support.Aria stared at the list of names and the business on the table as she had her breakfast. Alessa was also having breakfast with them. “Aren't you done with that?” Aiden asked.“No,” she replied without looking up at him. “Mum, how come I am not as smart as Aria?” Aiden asked Alessa and she chuckled.“You are smart, trust me,” Alessa said as she recalled what happened a few years back.“Okay.” he smiled in response as she continued with his meal. Alessa looked at Aria and smiled.“Aria,” she called.“Yes, Mummy?” Aria replied withou
PRESENT “Eat your cake,” Alessa replied and Aiden rolled his eyes before taking a seat next to her. “Oh, you need a partner too,” Tracy said as she looked at Alessa.“No, I don't,” Alessa replied with a frown.“Yes you do and it's important that you show up with a partner,” she said.“Bryan offered to be her partner.” Aiden suddenly said and Tracy stared at Alessa surprised. “What? Really?”“He was just teasing. He didn't mean it.” She rolled her eyes as she replied. “Lydia will kill you if you accept.” Tracy chuckled.“The mean lady?” Aiden asked Tracy and she nodded in response.“Hmm. Was she the reason Bryan divorced Mummy and kicked her out?” Aria suddenly asked, staring at them.“Ugh, Aria. You’ve got to stop asking these questions.” Aiden said and she glared at him.“I wasn't asking you. I was asking Tracy,” she said and looking at Tracy.“Me?”“Yes. Was it because of Lydia?”“I don't know, I wasn't around.” Tracy shrugged in response.“Really? Where were you?” Aiden asked“
SIX YEARS AGOAlessa tied her hair in a bun as she walked into the arena with the students. She walked behind as she tried her best to avoid Aliyah. It's been two days since Aliyah betrayed her and since then, they haven't spoken to each other. She has seen Aliyah talking with Lily multiple times and she kept thinking why Aliyah would betray her. What the hell has gotten into her? She tried to convince herself that Aliyah was threatened by Lily but it was hard to believe. Aliyah had nothing Lily could threaten her with and she is one of the best students in the building. She has a sixty percent chance of winning Lily in a fight. None of it made sense to Alessa and she tried so hard not to think about it or care. She just wants to stay alone throughout every trial and be done so she can see her kids again. Seeing what was in front of them as they walked into the arena, they knew what they were doing. They would be practicing their shooting and aiming skills. Without Madam Olga
