Cheat the devil
"I would like to meet up with all of the head of the departments, list the one that is new and yes, bring all their private details," Alexandra said looking at the paperwork in the hand. Her brows knitted into a frown.There is no way the stocks must have declined significantly like this...Unless someone had fiddled with the financial reports. The cash flow of Royal Steel had always been stable. There were strict regulations on the data collected, but now all that seemed to be thrown off the window. "Yes, Mam" Secretary Warren excused herself.Halton stood there with a puzzled look on his face. "Why would you need all of these details?"Alexandra rolled her eyes. "You don't understand do you?" Halton shook his head in a no."There is a possible chance that my DEAR mother has implanted some spies in here. I will find out all of them and throw them out before they get in my way."She stated calmly. Halton couldn't figure out what was goi

Valid reason
Before entering the conference room Alexandra pulled Halton closer to her and whispered something. Halton looked baffled at first then nodded and left. The people present in the conference room held their breath, they looked a bit tensed and some were curious who is going to their boss. Except for secretary Warren, no one was informed who their boss was, and assumed they would be greeting Anastasia Roberts.With a charming smile, she entered."Greetings ladies and gentlemen"There was pin-drop silence in the room. One, in particular, looked as if he was seeing a ghost. Alexandra turned her head towards James Wilson, her sharp feline eyes ridiculed at the man's state.'Look at this baffled Buffon.' He rubbled his tensed receding forehead and gulped. He turned to the person next to him to avoid her piercing stare."What is this? I was hoping for a warm greeting but all of

What's the rush?
"You've been fired for sexually harassing your subordinate."James Wilson's face as pale as a paper, people around him gave him accusing looks. Like they are seeing the most disgusting thing, but they already knew about his wrongdoings. They didn't want to fall victim to Alexandra's offence.  Beads of cold sweats tickled down James Wilson's spine."Did you not know that you cannot touch women's bodies like that? or did you think that was part of your job?" Alexandra asked stroking her chin. "It's a heinous crime in case you didn't know." James lowered his head. Alexandra knew where this man's audacity came from. He was quite good at winning people's interest, and Gabriel had backed him. Even the woman had complained against him, no action was taken and no one believed her. The woman was tormented by Gabriel's men to keep her mouth shut. Alexandra would be a failure as a CEO and as a woman if she didn't provide the wom

Sorry
It was the middle of the night, her room immersed in silence. Except for the large clock ticking, nothing was heard as each second passed by. She felt like she was pushing herself closer to death. Again, she couldn't sleep. She stared at the door and a voice stretched into her ears.(You couldn't save him) 'Why?' She thought. She couldn't shut down her nightmare even when she opens her eyes. (No one loved you) "It's not true he loved me." (No he didn't he only pitied you)"He loved me! Shut up!" She pulled her hair, as tears rolled down from her cheeks. "He loved me and yet..."She got up from her bed and aimlessly walked on the corridor. She hugged herself from the cold breeze. 'Where should I go?' Her legs led her to a pink door with cherry blossoms beautifully painted on it. She twisted the doorknob and walked in, the room was vivid because of the moonlight, and as she walked in, memories rush through her like a breac

What should I do with you?
(The following Chapter contains instances of self-harm. If you are not comfortable with it you can skip the chapter.)Alexandra couldn't comprehend when she had stopped crying, the dried-up tears on her face. The portrait was securely tucked in her arms. Her eyes held nothingness, looking like a lifeless being. If one were to see this they would think of her as a corpse. A beautiful corpse.The first rays of dawn fell upon the window pane and reflected light into the four corners of the room. But she was immovable. Sitting on the cold floor, she felt legless.  She somehow got up from the floor, but it was hard to stand on her feet still, she stood because no one will catch her if she falls. She was sure if Aunt Margretta didn't find her in the bedroom she would be worried. The portrait was placed back in its place

Going to murder someone
A loud crashing of ceramic dishes resounded inside the kitchen. A young maid hurriedly picked up the broken pieces and some of the sharp edges penetrated her fingers.  "I am terribly sorry about this!" The maid named Jannet cried.  "It's alright, please be careful next time," Aunt Margretta comforted her, but she was in tears. What if the young miss heard of this?! She will lose her job! Her last resort! Aunt Margretta knelt down to help her pick up the broken white plates. The young made was indeed touched by the helping hand.  "It's only been a few months since you joined and it's normal to make mistakes. I was in a worse state when I first came here with my mother," Aunt Margaretta comforted her. She was just a twelve-year-old girl when she had served as the maid.  Margaretta and Catherine had little age difference, and they were pretty good friends. But, after that incident, Catherine began resenting everyone..

Won a lottery!
Jonathan was getting impatient as each second passed by, he was peeking at his watch every minute. He was early for the meeting today and it was about the project about the construction of the Star City Building. That wasn't the reason why he was there, he wanted to see her...And also wanted to apologise for his rudeness at the boutique, he had misunderstood her for another woman. He was indeed ashamed of his behaviour but under normal circumstances, he was a rational person who wouldn't jump to conclusions, but this woman was making his so-called rationality thrown out of the window. But one thing that annoyed him was that there were also other companies who were offering their proposals for the company. He had prepared the draft himself so there wasn't a single error related to his project. He wanted her to choose him.His heart skipped for a moment when she stepped inside the lobby. She smoothly ran her fingers through her wild rav

You haven't changed
Jonathan looked as if he had won the lottery, he was confident that she would accept his proposal but what made him more delighted was the fact that she smiled at him. It was so charming and also heartwarmingly real."But if it's about the location we can change it!" Mr Davies cried. Alexandra gave him an unimpressed look."Your company is an overall failure, the expenses you are suggesting are high as it is, and we do not have eyes for burdens, therefore, I terminate the corporation between Blue Diamond and the Royal Steel.""But please reconsider-" He ran towards her pleading but Halton stopped him before the fool could get close to her."Meeting Adjourned" She declared. She and the rest of the members got up from their seats. They mocked Blue Diamond and its pathetic representative. Jonathan was impressed by her strategies. These kind of people are hard to come by and the confident aura made her look superior altogether, on

Don't test my patience
"Why are you so mean to him, Alexie?" Halton asked who was driving. He was genuinely feeling sad for Jonathan, the poor man he had to fall for Alexandra. She was busy munching on her CupCakes in the backseat. She swallowed and answered."I wasn't being mean I was just telling him to keep his distance from me," she said and stuffed another cake. She wasn't feeling hungry this morning but for some reason, she began craving for snacks to satisfy her sweet tooth. "You went a little too overboard this time. You shouldn't have made fun of him in front of subordinates," He reasoned. His little sister now has no consequence of her actions."And you laughed like a horse on cocaine back there," She retorted."Um..ugh..that's because it was funny," He shamelessly explained himself. He shouldn't have laughed like that, he also had a burst of contagious laughter as well by which he is embarrassed to this day. "You are the one who laughed at his

Glimpse of the past
Jonathan leaned back on his leather chair turned to look at the view of tall skyscrapers. One building, in particular, grasped his attention, It had the symbol of a proud lion staring right into his bear. He wondered what that tigress was doing right now. She looked quite entertained by making fun of him, if it was someone else then the person would already suffering in the pits of the hellish underworld."Alexa...Alexandra..." He chanted the name like he was under a spell. "Why didnt you tell me?"He caressed a braided wristband in his hand, it had two charms attached to its cerulean fabric. It had worn out during these years but he kept it as a precious treasure.  "Why don't you remember me?"He held longing in his eyes. He closed his eyes for a moment and slipped into memory lane.There was a picture of a little girl in his mind. Her eyes were as magnificent as the radiant sun. The most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Those eyes had imprinted deep inside
