Funny Marriage

Alexander’s POVI was still reminiscing on the forthcoming collapse of Diamond Homes and how I would make Margaret beg for her stupidity when my phone rang. The number was from Lintertown General Hospital. I answered immediately, thinking it was another one of their corporate negligence cases that would earn the firm millions.“Hello. My name is Rose. I'm calling for Lintertown General Hospital. Please am I speaking to Mr. Martinez?” a female voice on the other end asked, sounding urgent. “Yes. How may I help you” I replied,my jotter and pen already set to write down the facts of the case.“It's your wife sir, Laura Martinez. She was admitted to our hospital an hour ago.She experienced some complications with her pregnancy, mostly elevated blood pressure.She’s awake now and asked that we call you.” I stood up without hesitation. “I’m on my way.”I quickly rushed down, ignoring any of the lawyers that tried to get a minute with me until I got to my car and drove speedingly to the ho

Welcome

Magarets povBack from work,I sat on one of the kitchen seats waiting for the water in the heater to get hot so I can make myself a cup of tea when a sharp knock echoed through the front door.My heart jumped and I froze for a second, built up paranoia flaring up instantly. Was it Alexander? And how did he get past the security code at the gate? Only I and Sam knew the code as far as I know.I grabbed my phone like a weapon and approached the door cautiously, peering through the peephole.It was Cielin and Sam stood right beside her.I jerked the door open so fast I nearly pulled it off its hinges. “Cielin!”She barely had time to say my name before I threw my arms around her. We hugged so tightly we almost tumbled to the ground right there in the doorway. I wept in joy as I buried my face in her shoulder like a child who just reunited with her long lost mother.“Oh my God, Cielin,” I muttered with a cracking voice and in between sobs “Where have you been? Why haven’t you been taking m

An unknown Enemy

Margaret’s POVI thought I was dreaming about the savory scent that filled my nose until I actually opened my eyes and with my systems alert,I realized that it was coming from downstairs. Cielin was obviously making something delicious and I couldn't wait to see and munch whatever it was.Despite the extreme comfort I felt from this warm bed, I dragged myself up,threw on a robe and padded downstairs. In the open kitchen,and to my surprise,Sam and Cielin were moving around like they’d known each other for years. Sam was flipping pancakes at the stove while Cielin set the table, humming softly. The sight warmed me,it was nothing but beautiful and serene.“Good morning,” I said, still sleepy.Cielin turned with a bright grin. “Morning, sleepyhead! Sam insisted on making breakfast so I had to join so he wouldn't burn the house down. But I must say that I'm impressed by the perfection of his culinary skills”Sam looked over his shoulder, his eyes softening when they landed on me. “Morning,

Laura And Margaret

Margaret’s povI sat rigidly like a figurine on the leather chair across from Alexander’s massive desk with Sam beside me, while Alexander leaned back in his seat like a king holding court. Alexander tapped a pen against the desk as always, his eyes steadily focused on Sam until Sam finished talking and giving a thousand and a million reasons why he was innocent of Patrick’s allegation. “The firm can only take this case if you agree to publicly admit guilt on the core issues of this suit. A partial admission would allow us to negotiate a settlement and avoid dragging the company through a long, damaging trial.” Alexander casually said.I stared at him in disbelief that a practicing lawyer who is currently heading one of the prestigious law firms in the world could make such suggestions. “What? That’s irrational, Alexander. Sam has maintained his innocence from the beginning and you can’t possibly expect him to admit to something he didn’t do. That would destroy his reputation and o

Little Miss Troublesome Princess

Alexander’s POV“Laura, what are you doing here?” I asked, springing up from my seat, my body reacting on instinct before my mind could catch up. “To see you, of course.” She replied, smiling before her eyes then slid to Margaret, who was still standing near the desk and the smile instantly. “Why are you still here? I want to speak to my husband alone.”I stepped forward quickly, placing myself between them before the situation could spiral. “Margaret,” I said calmly, turning to her, “we’ll finish off on this later. Please give us the room.”Margaret didn't even hesitate for a second, her eyes flicking between Laura and me, as she gathered her notes, walked out and closed the door.The moment she was gone,I returned to my seat and gestured for Laura to sit as well which she did, smoothing her dress over her stomach like there was a baby bump already.“I thought you should be at home resting,” I said, booting up my laptop while using the opportunity to steal glances and studying her.

Eduardo

Margaret’s POV My hands were still shaking while in my office,staring at the closed door like it might burst any second.I definitely can’t stay here. Especially not with her in the building. After long minutes of restlessness,I stood up quietly,crept toward the door and opened it a tiny bit so I could peep into the hallway.Gladly,there was no sign of her so I shut the door but it swung open with force, nearly hitting me in the face. I jumped in shock,scared in the face of another confrontation from Laura only for me to realize that it was only Alexander. He stood there, his face reeking of amusement as he took in my panicked expression. The slight chuckle that escaped his lips aggravated me because he’s the major reason why I’m stuck here with Laura in the same town and for some reason he still finds this funny. “You can relax now,” he said, stepping inside. “She has gone home. I don’t even know why you’re scared.It’s not like she’s going to beat you up in the middle of the offi

Oops!

Alexander's pov At first I was outrightly transfixed,that I just stood like a figurine staring down at Margaret who was now sobbing and trying to control her tears. I myself was shocked at the kind of cruelty she had to pass through but this wasn't about me so I buried my emotions and rushed over to her,pulling her into a tight hug.She stiffened at first, but I held her firmly against my chest, one hand cradling the back of her head. “Shh,” I murmured against her hair in a low tone. “I’ll handle it, Margaret. I promise to make sure Eduardo pays for what he did to you. This won’t get unscathed.” She didn’t pull away immediately, and that small victory sent a thrill through me. I could feel her trembling,making it one of the few times I’ve seen her weak.A surreal moment where I felt nothing but pity for her.She had survived that monster, and that explains why she had the strong zeal to survive everything else despite all odds. “I’m sorry you carried this alone for so long,” I whi

A Victim Of Alexander's Wrath.

Alexander’s povThe living room was now in pure chaos with Mr. Peters was still holding me back, his grip surprisingly strong for a man who had spent most of his life looking the other way while his wife tormented him and ran the show. Vivian was obviously terrified but she still summoned up courage to point a fidgeting finger at me.”Get out of here Alexander. Don't come in here and cause drama after getting drunk”I didn't pay attention to her,I was busy staring at Laura who was yet to go pack a bag like I asked her to do. She just stood a few steps away,tears streaming down her face as she cried out.“Alexander, what the hell is wrong with you?!” Mr. Peters demanded, his voice shaking due to shock. “Why would you just come into my house and attack a guest like that?Explain yourself right now!”Vivian stepped forward like the witch she was“You violent brute! How dare you lay your hands on my nephew? Have you lost your mind? This is assault! I should call the police on you myself!”La

Pitiful Laura

Laura’s POV This wasn't my first time in Alexander’s house. I spent more time here than at home before we got married and I would have moved him with him if mum hadn't forced me to insist on staying with her until she was sure that I had dominance in my marriage but all thanks to her,instead of dominating,I'm stuck here in one of Alexander’s massive bedrooms watching him unload our luggage without saying a word or even asking how I felt about what he was doing? “I still don’t get why you had to uproot me from my father’s house just because of Margaret,” I mumbled.“She’s the one causing all the problems, not me.” Alexander didn’t even glance at me. He continued folding one of his shirts, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscle ticking. I wanted to ignore him as well but as the silence stretched,my skin crawled. “What amazes me is how you could literally turn the world upside down for that girl but wouldn’t lift a finger when it comes to me.” I spoke again, hoping to get

Hope

Margaret’s POVI took another sip of the cream coffee I had ordered at St Louis de Lion cafe where I sat waiting for Sam for over an hour now. Sam had chosen it when I told him we needed to talk somewhere quiet at our work scenery and I’m surprised he is running late. It's so unlike him. After sitting for almost another hour,I stood up to leave but his car immediately appeared on the runway and drove into the cafe's car park. Seconds later,he was practically running to where I stood,his hands folded as a form of apology.“I'm so sorry Margaret. I got stuck in a protest led by Patrick just a few miles from here. It took the help of a couple of police men to help get out of there safely” He explained immediately he got close to where I stood before hugging me briefly.“Ohh my goodness. That Patrick guy is nothing but a goon. How dare he?” I yelled,as I held his shaking hands tightly. He was evidently scared and traumatized by what just happened.“Nevermind him Margaret. I know Patrick
