Vida forced herself to go through breakfast with Axel, constantly zoning out while he spoke. She did not like that he seemed happy doing what he wanted while she was stuck doing business. When breakfast was over, she practically ran out of the restaurant without looking back."Vida? Why do you look so angry? Did something happen when you were out?" Maria asked as soon as she ran into her in the hallway. Vida knew that saying that Acel's success had affected her mood was a bit too strange, but then it was her nanny, and she was sure she would understand. She also hated the fact that he seemed to have such a strong effect on her to change her mood so seriously. She had to swear that she was okay a few hours before meeting him earlier today."Vida? You're back," Kat said. Vida raised her eyes to see her friends dressed in comfy clothes walking towards her. For a moment, she had suddenly forgotten that they were around. She pressed her lips together as they stood in front of her."Where h

Vida got ready with Emily's help and brought her to the meeting venue. Axel had made sure to tell her that it was a brunch meeting, and she was glad that it would not be anything too formal for her. She walked in with the bodyguards that Axel had stationed outside to help her find her way in. As she walked, she felt her leg lose strength. One of the guards opened the door, and she saw Axel's eyes meet hers from the far end of the room. He had been staring at the door, waiting for her to come so the meeting could commence. He smiled a little and stood up from the head of the table, walking to her."You can leave now," he murmured to the guard before standing beside her and putting his hand to the small of her back to guide her through the large hall. "Don't be scared," he added in a whisper, and she whipped her head to him, wondering how he had figured out what she was feeling in that moment.She always knew that this moment was going to come, but still, she was not ready for it, no ma

Vida walked in angrily and threw her phone on the bed. She was so angry at the situation; how dare he? She thought he was at least not as bad as she thought. Her phone was ringing nonstop, but she made up her mind to ensure that she did not get his call, no matter how many times he tried to reach out. He and his minion, who had wanted to embarrass her, could go to hell for all she cared.After steaming in anger for a few minutes, she decided to let it go because she might do something crazy if she did not. She went down to get something cool to drink. As she got into the kitchen, she saw her nanny busy there. She was suddenly taken back to her childhood days when she would get back to see the woman busy trying to make a meal for herself and her dad."Do you ever take a break?" Maria turns back with a smile on her face."Oh my Vida How can I ever take a break? I have to make sure that everything goes according to plan," she responded, turning off the stove and walking to the girl."It

Even though Vida had gone against it so many times, her friends were adamant about throwing her a bachelorette party. "It's still your wedding," Gia had commented when Vida refused, and then she just gave in, knowing she was not going to win against the three of them. She promised herself that she was not going to enjoy anything about it; the party was forced on her just like the wedding between her and Axel.The party was all a blur and no matter what her friends did to try and lift her spirits, all she could do was to sulk. Even when Kat had brought in a male stripper, she stood up abruptly and left. "I am in no mood for this," she said, standing up, causing her friends to stand as well. "I am going to get some air," she added and left before anyone could ask her any questions or follow her.She had never thought that her bachelorette party would be this way; she had always imagined herself being so happy about it that she would want to go all out and do all the things brides-to-be
