Alexander I couldn't do anything except watch her walk away with the kids. The trio turned back at intervals, smiling and waving towards my direction as they ran ahead of their mother. Funnily enough, she never told them to stop waving at me, she just looked away, like I meant nothing to her. I have done more harm than good in this woman's life and I wouldn't want to cause more. My tone unconsciously came out rough and hard, I had no idea how it happened. No matter how much she tried to mask it, I could still see it in her eyes, she was scared of me. I wanted to fight for her but I had no idea how. She, herself, wasn't going to make it easy for me. Melissa, hating me, was an understatement. If she had the power to kill me, she would, without giving it so much thought. Giving myself a moment of bliss, I decided to go visit the royalty of Carlton. They were close friends with my parents. I was in their city, it would definitely make a lot of sense to pay homage to them. I turned t

Alexander Irritated by the lady who stood at the door without saying a word, I walked to the door myself and slammed the door in her face. Making sure she saw how pissed I was. I'm yet to ask Mimi who that was. A knock caught my attention again. "Arggggggh," I was physically pissed by now. I had thought of the things I'd say to her in my head. "What do you want again?" I said, immediately the door went open. But then I was wrong, Lady Selene looked at me like I had just developed 2 heads. "Sorry Mimi, I had no idea that it was you," I apologized. "Has someone been to this room today?" "Yes, just a few moments ago." "Well, I'm here to tell you that dinner is almost ready and I want us to all eat together," she said, reaching for my cheeks, taking turns with them as she kissed on both sides. I hurried to my bath and by the time I came out, I saw that a fresh pair of clothes had been prepared for me. A cream t-shirt and a black shorts laying side by side. As I walked downstairs,

Bree My gaze couldn't and wouldn't leave his rigid back, he was cold yet enticing. I wanted him, I didn't want to know what else mattered. Mother walked inside, not quite long, after he went inside. I ran straight to the seat beside my father. “Is it true what he said?” I questioned immediately. “Let an old man eat in peace, Bree,” he chastised but I wasn't having any of it. “Just tell me if it's true,” I kept whining like a child who had been denied candy. “What part of what he said are you trying to verify?” “The part where he said he is the youngest richest billionaire in New York?” He swayed his head back and forth slightly, continuing to focus on his food. “Well it's unfortunate that you have decided to steer clear away from the media. What he is saying is true.” Thinking that my father was using me to pass time, I dug out my phone from my pocket and looked up the internet immediately. His face came into view, multiple blogs and news channels headlining him. A faint smi

Melissa The audacity of this man who called himself Alexander Pierce was something I couldn't place my hands on yet. After all the things he did to scar me mentally and emotionally, he still had the guts to show his very beautiful face to me. What was I even saying? I should not be complimenting his looks at the moment but I couldn't help it. I could tell where my boys got their handsomeness from. Such a fine man, I blushed. “Miss Melissa, Miss Melissa,” the director's voice infiltrated my thoughts, forcing me out of my mental masturbation. “Yes sir,” I composed myself and stiffened my gaze. “I'm saying that I'm giving you the rest of the day away since Mr Alexander Pierce wants to see you. You can dismiss whatever you are doing and carry on,” he said. For a moment, I was glad that I could use the rest of the day to relax and definitely have time to pick my kids up at school. But I refuse to give Alexander that satisfaction. There was no point arguing with the director, I simply

Lady Selene Immediately the door went shut, my eyes came in contact with Bree's. She was cradled up in my husband's arms, crying profusely. We all knew how badly behaved she was, we hoped and prayed that she would change but it felt like we were being punished for something we don't know. She released herself from Carlos' arms and ran straight to me. Her eyes were puffy and red, she was in a very pitiful state and I could only wrap her face in my wrinkled hands. “What did he say mother? How is he? Does he want to see me?” She attempted to go into his room but I restricted her from moving forward. “To be clear Bree, Alexander doesn't like you. Not even to the way you think, he doesn't have an iota of feelings for you.” I could see the veins standing on her neck, the tears were coming in fast and she tried to hold them back but it was all futile. She broke down like a river turned into a dam, breaking barriers and destroying everything along its path. She fell to the floor, holdin
