Lahat ng Kabanata ng MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

MelissaThe day had barely begun and I could feel my entire body succumb to its tiredness. My eyes felt like they had suddenly become lead and my legs wobbled badly, I desperately needed a good rest.Just like every other night, I had spent the entire last night in the school library again, trying to catch up with the term's work, forgetting that I worked a morning shift at the local eatery."Melissa, we have an order at table 10 and table 23," the voice of the manager dragged me out of my reverie."I'm on it," my voice scratched, failing to go higher than it was. I stretched my limbs and they felt like they had weighed more pounds overnight. I grabbed the tray housing the cups of coffee and walked into the main restaurant."Here you go," my smile came so faintly that you could barely notice it. I dropped the first order at table 10 and walked towards the next table. As I neared table 23, a customer in a hurry bumped into me from behind, causing me to spill the coffee on the very fine

Melissa"Never, I'll never marry him. I'd rather die than find myself spending forever with someone like him," I cried for the 100th time. My father wasn't listening to me, he came home that night announcing my marriage to the last person I ever thought of.I had dreamed of fantasy, happily ever after. Irrespective of how old I was, I still had the stature of a 20 year old kid. I always believed that one day my prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet.I couldn't believe I was keeping myself for him, I was going to be married to the bastard I had hassled with in the morning."Father please," I lowered myself on my knees, begging him, because I knew my life depended on it. "Don't do this, my whole life will be halted. I'm in my final year in school, let me finish in grand style, please.""Unfortunately Melissa, there's nothing I can do for you. Your fate has been sealed. Tomorrow you get married to the billionaire, Alexander Pierce," he said deadpan and walked out of the roo

Alexander`Alex, close your eyes. Don't look at me, don't look at mama. Papa is just angry, I was the one that wronged him.`I jumped up from my sleep, covered in my own sweat, breathing heavily. Deep black bags sought refuge under my eyes, the beautiful shiny gaze my eyes held had become lifeless, like I was staring into oblivion. For months, they had always been that way. I looked up at the wall clock, it was just 3am in the morning. Frustrated, I pushed the covers away from my body and sat upright.It's been 7 years since Melissa left and 7 years since the nightmares came again.Few months after she left, her smell on the sheets helped keep the nightmares away. I always imagined she was right there beside me and it always worked but as soon as the sheets were changed, everything came back to the way it used to be.I walked downstairs to grab a cup of water in the kitchen, I noticed the light was turned on and I wondered who would be awake at that time of the night. I saw Felix sit

Alexander I watched the kids as they ran towards the woman who called them. She was dark in complexion, stood at an average height with brown colored hair. Seeing that the kids were safe and under an adult's care, I walked back to the car. I was glad that very few people could recognize me. "Let's go to the hotel, I could use a really good sleep right now." At the mention of the good sleep, it sounded like a joke even to myself. Remembering what I battled with, it seemed like the nightmares were waiting for me to just close my eyes, irrespective of the time and day. I sent the detailed description of where I was staying and what time I'd like Cindy to come. It's been years since I laid with a woman, let's hope that I won't mess things up. Getting to the hotel, I grabbed the room keys from the receptionist and entered the elevator, leading to the vvips suite. The aesthetics in the room were really befitting and inviting. I dropped my suitcase and the little bag I came with on the

Melissa My heart swelled with joy knowing how rough the past few years have been. Standing in front of thousands at the annual conference was a dream come true for me. Immediately the director gave his little speech and welcomed me to the stage, I was elated. The students made it more resounding when they roared with joy when my name was called. I found my way to the stage in style, swaying my hips gently from one end to the other. My 3 inch heels made pointy noises on the tiled floor. I was clothed in a green tight dress, just stopping below my knees. The past few years, I had become confident of my own figure but past traumas made me steer clear from men. I reclined gently to the length of the microphone, speaking into it. The spotlight was fixed on me and it felt like I was on top of the world. For that moment, I felt free. "Oh wow, thank you so much. I had no idea I was a fan of many," I said, earning approvals and laughs from students in the hall. I gave my acknowledgements
