Late

Alexa Ethan’s phone rang, causing him to walk back as though he had just realized what he was doing. Even I, at some point, was lost in it, I stood there waiting, and half hoping he was really trying to kiss me. But now, how can I be sure when he throws me a disgusted glare and walks out the door, greeting Chloe? “Shit, we need to remain focused,” I said to myself as I went ahead to sit on the bed. There’s no way I can spend the night here anyway, I brought no extra clothes. But a few minutes later, Ethan had returned with shopping bags, he threw one over to me, before settling on the couch, and I checked for myself. I didn’t want to speak to him; no amount of talking would make me understand him. So fine, if my boss said I should sleep in the same room with him, then fine, if he says he doesn’t give a damn about me, fine, if he says he won’t help me out with my father’s case, fine. But I will fish out the killer myself, and if it is him, I will forever curse myself for loving him.

What I feared the most

Alexa The hallways felt longer today, but I made it to the dining. My heart was beating even faster when I reached the dining space, and all heads turned to me in disgust. Nose scrunching, eyes glaring at me I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was about to be stuck in a hot soup for a long while. “Have you not chased her away? Isn’t the mockery from the dinner not enough?” Ethan’s mother–the first lady of the house, the same wonman who accused my father of attempting to rape her, she was the first to diwsplay her displeasure with my presence. I had a lot to say to her, but not a word left my lips, instead I found myself turning to Ethan. “She’s a better match, besides a stranger in our home would take a long process, mother,” Ethan said with a neutral face, while he sliced into his omelette. “Sit by my side, Alexa.” I wasted no time heading to his seat, but stopped when a hand landed roughly on mine. “The fuck do you think you’re doing, sitting near my husband?”How did she eve

What do you want from me?

AlexaI turned my back and walked away, the tears trickling down my face. I need to stop thinking he’s on my side. He’s hiding the truth from me for fuck sake, how can he be the good guy? He’s been betrothed to Chloe from birth; I can’t break that. They are all supposed to be brought down by me. But for now….just for now, I just need to sob my heart out. So I quickened my pace, rushing back to the workers quarters. My vision was in a blur, but I could sense the judging, mocking gazes of the maids as I ran to my room. I shut the door behind me, sliding down, clutching my chest. Fuck it hurts, it still hurts so bad, why am I in love with him? What is it about him that I can’t give my heart to another? That I can’t get over him? What is it that pains me whenever he stands up for Chloe?I placed my palm over my mouth, muffling the sound of my tears. The sun was beginning to come out, and my energy was depleting,I had barely eaten since I got back from the hospital much less take the dr

My Boss Is Acting Strange

Alexa It pained me that I had no words to say to him, and I just let him walk away. Asking me to give up on seeking justice. It His words pained me to anger, yet I am seated in the same car with him, perhaps not the same seat as he took the back seat and I took the passenger’s seat, but I could still feel that heat between us as I arranged his schedule for the day. There was a lot of work and lots of meetings, reason we are moving work today to the office. Perhaps for a few days, we have to be at the office, and this reduces my chances of sneaking around the mansion. I still haven’t been able to find anything; all I’ve been doing is getting into shit, and letting my stupid heart lead the road. We reached the office, almost two hours later. The building was as enigmatic as it was at the TV station. It is my first time being here, and it looked it impossible to learn the routes today. As we walked to the elevator, there were lots of greetings, bowing of heads, and some gave me doubl

Scary Boss

Alexa I listened to Kilian bickering while Ethan feigned ignorance, only responding with irritation when he spoke about me. Hours have past and I’m not that dumb to know that three pm is the final time for a break for a nine to five. Besides, my stomach was grumbling. “Eth-Sir, I would like to be excused for a break time.” I requested when I was up from my seat.He slowly lifted his head, eyes dark as though I had asked a forbidden question. “Hah I was wondering if you were a vampire or something, finally, I will come down with you to eat. Your boss here will soon get rid of me anyway, he has another meeting in five minutes time right?” Killian asked as he got to his feet, too, adjusting his clothes. I nodded, athough I wasn’t comfortable with him following me. He was a talkative type, and would surely not be able to digest my food if he’s there. “You can leave Killian, and you…order whatever you want to eat to the office.” He stated coldly and returned to his PC. “What? This g

Unknown Jealousy

Ethan It was honestly the worst feeling I had ever felt in a long time, and when I mean in a long time, I mean since Aleander Côté, Alexa’s dad, died. Why are all strong emotions tied to Alexa? It’s crazy because I never thought I would be attracted to her. One minute, I saw her like a little sister, the next, I’m pulling her with me into a room.“Let me go,” She kept wriggling and yelling through the loud music and it kept annoying me, how desperate she was to leave my hold. What? She hates me now? Because I want her to be safe, okay maybe I’m not doing it in the right way. But I also am seeking justice for Alexander, even if that means betraying my own family. But here she is, meeting up with her ex. I pushed her down the bed and her eyes widened. She didn’t move, and neither did I. But someone on the other side decided it was the moment to bang the door, thankfully I had it locked. “Alexa, are you here, are you okay?” Oh, it’s him. The savior of the day. I looked back at Alex

Chloe's Creulty

Alexa My heart is my fucking throat. I literally had my toes curled. It’s not a dream, it didn't feel like one as he asked me to take responsibility for his hard-on. I was about to speak, but his phone rang violently in the moment. In that same moment, the image of my father smiling flashed through my mind and I pushed Ethan off immediately, jumping off to my feet. “What the fuck, Alexa?!” Ethan yelled. “ This never happened,” I muttered before proceeding to walk out the door. It felt more like I was convincing myself, but it did happen, I made out with Ethan, a suspect of my father’s death. It’s clear he knows something, and it’s on to something. I should be hating myself for telling me nothing, but there I was kissing him passionately, about to have sex with him. I rushed past the crowd with my head down, flinching when a hand rested on my shoulder. I jumped backing away, only to meet Johan’s shocked gaze. “Hey, what’s wrong, are you okay?” He rushed towards me. I was not

I Believe You

Alexa“Let’s take her out.” “What? The security will notice dumbass, let’s just leave her here.” They kept on discussing as the banging continued, and Ethan kept roaring for me to step out. He was enraged. I know it, but his anger was at no level to me being raped. I was harshly tossed to the side as the men glared at me, and in the blink of an eye, they were both jumping out of my window. It’s a surprise that they could fit through. I ripped out the tape from my mouth, wincing but rushing to get to the door. Fucking Chloe, she’s got it coming for her. Wait until Ethan hears about what you did. The door flung open right as I was about to turn the doorknob, and it took a slight dodge for me to avoid being slammed by the door. But that didn’t matter as I rushed closer to Ethan. “Oh my- You’re now playing games, acting like you went out, but are you a witch now also?” Chloe gasped, her face showing nothing but genuine surprise. Goodness she would pass as an actress. I turned my at

Getting Rid Of Her

Ethan This just got way more complicated. Since Johan came into the picture, nothing has been the same. I haven’t been acting the same, fuck I no longer think. Like last night, I was full on about to have sex with Alexa, the same Alexa that I used to see as a little sister. Yes, I always cared and pitied her, then and even now. But I certainly did not have my heart skipping beats when she’s close to me, or wanting to pull her by her waist and taste her lips. Fuck I still recall how she tasted last night. Like mint and grape. It drove me insane to the point that it fired me up, in addition to seeing her leaving with Johan. I never believed Chloe, but I was too fired up and needed her to see I am fucking pissed and jealous. And my fucked up attitude got us here. “Father, I was going to come see you also.”“Don't try to change the topic, Ethan. What were you doing, hugging this lowlife? Are you now cheating on Chloe? Have you truly been bewitched?”That's insane. Everything is insan
