At The Mercy of Mr Alexander のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Alexander "Dean!" I yelled out. Striding out of the house in annoyance. He hastened to my side, "Yes, Mr Alex." "Go get me some ice cream." I curtly instructed."What kind of ice cream should I get, sir?" He asked. "Kind?" I asked confused."Yes, sir. Which flavour?" He clarified. I glared at him, realizing I hadn't asked Amelia what flavour she wanted. "Just get every flavour they have," I said, letting out a deep sigh. I could not believe I was doing this. But I gave in only because she was pregnant. I went into Pa Martins's room to see if he was still upset about the news, bidding my time until Dean returned."Pa" I called as I walked towards his bed. He raised his head briefly, acknowledging my presence before returning his focus to his phone. He was likely going through the articles that had been published in the news. And getting himself worked up."Have you discovered who leaked the story to the press?" He asked, his attention still on his phone. Give it a break, Pa.I s

Selene I listened intently to the line as my father’s voice crackled from the other end. “Has he thrown her out of the house?”I leaned against the door frame, frustration gnawing at me. “She’s still there, but Martins is furious.”“Selene, is he furious enough to throw her out?” my father pressed.“From the way he spoke to Alex yesterday, he might not be furious enough yet. But when he finds out that the person who leaked the information was Amelia Fray, then he’ll be furious enough." I said, a sly grin spreading across my face.“Okay, keep me updated,” he instructed before the line went dead.I stepped out of my room, eager to see Amelia being expelled from the house. But everything seemed eerily calm. The house was quiet. I eavesdropped on Alex and Martins yesterday and overheard Martins instructing Alex to find out who had leaked the story.Given Alex’s efficiency, I expected him to have discovered the name of the person already. Was he really still unaware? Or was he reluctant?

Amelia I sat on my bed, staring at the meal the maid had brought. Despite its enticing appearance, a sense of unease settled over me. I couldn’t quite identify the source of my discomfort.Suddenly, the feeling grew more intense, and a pressing urge to pee overtook me. I quickly stood up and made my way to the bathroom, hoping the brief interruption would help calm my growing anxiety.After relieving myself, I felt slightly better. I returned to the bed and began to eat. My phone rang—it was Hayley."Hey, girl. How are you doing?" Hayley's voice came through."I'm fine, just finished eating," I replied."Yeah, me too. I bought tacos," she said."Oh my God, Hayley. I wish I could have some of those. I would kill for them right now,""You have chefs there. I'm sure they can make whatever you want for you. Just ask them." she suggested."I don’t want the fancy tacos. I want the one we buy from the street vendor around the corner. They taste so much better," I said, noticing the door ha

Alexander "The investors you requested are here," James said over the phone.I hesitated, unsure of what to do. Amelia was still recovering in the hospital, and I didn't want to leave her side. But the meeting with the investors was crucial - it was my chance to finally deal with Paul once and for all. I thought about how Amelia was still grieving, and my heart went out to her. "Cancel the meeting, James," I said finally. "Reschedule it for tomorrow. I have something I need to take care of today.""Okay, boss." I felt a pang of guilt for even considering leaving Amelia. But I knew how crucial this meeting was. I couldn't let Paul's schemes ruin everything I'd worked hard for. But I couldn't abandon Amelia even when I knew she had her best friend with her. I saw how heartbroken she was. And to even blame herself? God! That was too much.It was dark already, and I was still in the hospital. Two couples sat beside me in the waiting room. The woman kept crying uncontrollably, her fac

AmeliaI slowly opened my eyes, I felt utterly exhausted. The first thing I saw was Alexander's face, and I couldn't help but gaze at him in wonder. His features were truly captivating - "handsome" didn't even begin to describe him. My hand rested on his chest, and I noticed his shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his chiselled physique. I lifted my head, my eyes drawn to his impressive body. My hand instinctively moved to his biceps, feeling the firm muscle beneath.He had been so kind to me yesterday. He said things I didn't know he could say and stayed with me the entire day.Who would have known that behind this beautiful smug face is a man very compassionate? I wouldn't be surprised if he goes back to being his usual cold and distant self once he woke up.I was about to reach out and touch his face when his eyes suddenly opened. Our eyes met, and I froze. My hand hovering above his face."How are you feeling?" He asked with a groggy voice as he struggled to sit up. "I'm ... I'm go
