“Where is she?!”Alex burst into his father’s study, stomping angrily. George looked up, one brow raised, confused.“Who?Alex chuckled.“You know who. Don’t you dare play games with me.”“I don’t know what you are talking about.”“Alicia! Where is she?! Where did you send her?”“I sent her nowhere. She chose to leave.”“You liar,” Alex said, slamming his hand on his desk, “You had something to do with this. You and that witch you married.”“Watch your tone,” George said, eyes hardening.“Or what? Tell me. Or what? Do you want to cut me off? Funny. I’ve built my own empire without any help from you,” Alex leaned forward, “And I know you are behind this. I’ll find out what you did. And when I do…”“You’ll what? What will you do?” His father asked, standing up to meet his son’s glare, “Throw a tantrum?threaten me again? Ah! You are so weak it’s pathetic. Just like your mother. You are nothing like me. You are so emotional, impulsive. Weak,” he spat.Alex’s fist clenched. Every fiber of

It wasn’t Alex.When she caught up to him and grabbed him by the shoulder, she realized she had mistaken him for Alex.It was only a maintenance worker with a bright vest, pruning shears in hand, and an air of surprise. Heat bloomed in Alicia's cheeks as she skidded to a stop. "I apologise. I thought…” She couldn't finish He nodded kindly and went back to trimming roses. Her heart took minutes to come back down.She dropped to the floor, her hands on the grass. She felt her body trembling as tears started to fall down her cheeks. “I’m pathetic.”——-That night, Zara came over with wine and Chinese food. “You’ve been crying,” Zara noticed.“I haven’t.”“Your eyes are puffy, Alicia.”Alicia sighed. “I saw someone that looked like Alex today.”“What?”“It wasn’t him. It was a worker.”“Oh.”“But you know what? Seeing him and chasing after him told me all I needed to know. That I’m still in love with him. Even after all these years. It explains this constant pain in feel in my heart a

Alex walked into his company, the sound of his heels clicking against the marble floor.“Good morning CEO!“Good morning Boss!”The endless greetings rang in the hallway. He nodded his head to some of them, greeted some of the others and headed for his office.Though this occurred everyday, there was no day he didn’t take notice of it. The eyes of everyone looking up at him with awe and admiration.And the behavior of women of all ages and sizes towards him.They tried to get his attention regularly. When he passed by them they would adjust their pose. Some bent their bodies to reveal their breasts, and some secretly rolled their skirts to show their laps. Others were bold and came up to him with some excuse about their work and then, in the end, would not say anything tangible. They all wanted him, but he never entertained any of them. Nor had anyone of them succeeded in winning his attention.The only one he’d ever noticed was a woman with brown curly hair and brown eyes, one who h

Alex trembled as he watched.His knuckle had become white from gripping the edge of the table too hard. He was so lost in thought he didn’t hear a person beside him calling his name. Until the person touched his shoulder and he jumped .“Mr. George? They need you for the keynote.”He looked at the assistant. Tried to remember his name. Couldn’t.“Yeah. Just… give me a second.”“Sir, you’re on in…”“I said give me a second.”“Alright,” said the guy before leaving and walking away. Alex felt his chest grow tighter and tighter. Is this really happening?She was here. Right there. Twenty feet away, laughing at something Chris said. Like the last five years didn’t happen. Like she didn’t disappear twice and leave him standing in airports and empty apartments wondering what the hell he did wrong.The kid laughed and Alex’s stomach dropped again.That hair. Those eyes. That smile. The way his eyes crinkled at the edges when he smiled.No. He was being crazy. He was seeing things because he w

Chris appeared from somewhere. “Jesus Christ, Alicia. What the hell was that?”“Not now.”“Half the convention center just watched you two scream at each other. It’s probably already online…”“I said not now!”Aiden was full-on crying. “I wanna go home. I don’t like it here.”“We’re going, baby. Right now.”Her hands shook uncontrollably as she opened the lock.“Here.” Chris took them. “Let me.”Why was he acting so nice to her? She knew he had bad intentions but was too tired to argue with him.He unlocked the car. He then helped Aiden into he back seat. Alicia stood there, staring into space, deep in thought.“He knows,” Chris said quietly.“I know he knows.”“What will you do?”“I don’t know.”“You can’t run again…”“Why not? Worked before.”“Did it?” He looked at her. “Did it really work, Alicia? Because from where I’m standing you look pretty miserable.”“I’m fine.”“You’re not fine. You haven’t been fine since you left him the first time.”“Why do you care? As far as I know, yoy
