Alexander's grip on my hand was so tight that I know it would leave a bruise if he held me any longer. I paused on my steps and forcefully took my hand away from his grip."What is wrong with you?" I shouted, annoyed at him. We were standing at a lonely pathway that led to the exit of the hotel premises. We had long left the dinner party hall."Stay away from Ezekiel, he is bad news. What were you even doing with him?!" His eyes were slit in anger as he glared down at me."I wasn't doing anything with him. I was just on my way to get water to drink and he came my way. I don't understand why you're so angered. I am not the one who has a girlfriend!" I bellowed staring intently at him which he returned with the same intensity.Why is he acting up? If he has a problem with Ezekiel, then he should sort it out with him and not try to vent his frustrations on me.He narrowed his eyes and menacingly closed the distance between us. He angled his face to the side before straightening it back

The limousine entered a driveway till it stopped in front of a mansion. I stared in awe at the gigantic house that stood in front of me. I hadn't even realised that Alexander was already out of the car till the door on my side was opened.He offered me his hand but I totally ignored it and got down from the car by myself, though the wedding dress on my body made it so tedious. I looked to my side and saw up to five men dressed in black suits- from their demeanor I could tell they were bodyguards. To my left side, I saw three ladies and a man with their heads bowed a little. Alexander came and stood beside me as I stood staring at the mansion in front of me."Well, are you going to go in or you'd keep gawking at my house? Perhaps, you'd prefer standing here." I turned to look at him, the smirk on his face annoying me to the core. I'd probably do anything to smack it off his face."Perhaps not!" I replied him with a harsh glare, gathered the wedding dress in my hands, it is beginning t

I yawned sleepily as I slowly opened my eyes but shut them tightly as the bright rays of sun burnt my eyes. I buried my head into the pillow and relaxed. This is the most blissful sleep I've had in a while.I sat up from the bed and opened my eyes which has now adjusted to the light. I looked up to see Claire standing upright at the foot of the bed, her head wasn't bowed this time.When did she get here? Basically I can't even remember how I got to my room and on my bed. All I can remember is, after my encounter with Alexander, I gathered myself and left the passageway to meet Ivory who was fuming - thanks to Clark. She handed me her drink which I didn't know contained alcohol. I gulped the whole content down because I really needed something to calm my insides down. After the drink, I don't even know what happened afterwards."Good morning, ma'am," Claire greeted and I gave her a small glare. "Ivory," she quickly corrected herself and I gave her a smile which quickly turned into a f

I glared hard at him when his grip on my wrists tightened and his body lowered towards mine.His face inched closer and his hot breath fanned my face. He gave me a long stare, not uttering a single word before a sinister smile appeared on his perfect features.He gently touched my face with his free hand, caressing my cheeks softly that I almost shut my eyes at how calming his touch was but at the same time, my insides had started erupting with fire."I'm really going to go easy with you, so just cooperate with me by handing me the paper and I'll just walk away." His voice was strained and raspy, as if he was struggling to keep his voice calm."Or what?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. His grey eyes darkened at my challenge, he shut his eyes for a few seconds before opening them.His patience is running thin! Yes!I'm succeeding at getting on his nerves!This is fun!"I have something very important to you. Instead of you going down on your knees to beg, you're realistically pinning m

IVORY I stormed into the house fuming. That condescending brute! How can he refer to my clothes as rags. Well, not that the clothes are the classiest but at least, they're descent. And even if I don't need my old clothes, I still need to go get some of my few belongings - things that are the last memory I have of my parents. I paced the living room, still fuming at Alexander, wanting to chop his head off if I set my eyes on him. He's the most annoying human to ever grace this earth. I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks like that or others don't notice how annoying and arrogant he is. His devilish handsome face flashed in my head. His annoying but cute smirk that always have a way of riling me up beyond measures. He's actually fit to be the man of my dreams, in terms of appearance. Character wise? I don't think so. I think I'm attracted to him. There's this invisible magnet that seems to be forcefully pulling me towards him. My body reacts to him against my will. Despite ho
