Chapter 21 - Losing her job

Alexandra turned to Hayes before turning back to the nurse. Did he just ask a nurse to come over to his office just to brief her again? Seems like she was right, Jennifer must be somewhere in this hospital watching her.“Miss,” the nurse called, tapping her gently.She stood up without another word and followed the nurse to the couch. There the nurse started telling her what was going to happen in today's antenatal and all.All she knew was that she was seeing the nurse's lips moving but whatever she was saying, her mind wasn't picking it up.After a while, Hayes stood up from his chair and walked toward them. “Thank you, Nurse Sara.” He said, standing behind Alexandra’s couch. “You may leave now.”Sara mumbled a thank you before walking out of the office.“I didn't grasp what she was saying,” Alexandra admitted, before Hayes could ask her any questions.Hayes let out a low chuckle. “I know you didn't. Why don't we get to the part you've been waiting for?” Alexandra raised a brow. “I

Chapter 22 - Delivery job

“Why?” Alexandra asked, her voice shaking slightly. “Is it because I'm pregnant?” Beatrice took a deep breath, placing a white helmet onto the counter. “I'm not that heartless to let a pregnant woman carry heavy load.”“But ma'am, I didn't complain.” Alexandra said, shifting closer to the edge of the counter. “If you toss me out into the streets isn't that what's more heartless?” Beatrice chuckled lightly. “I said I'm no longer giving you the job, not tossing you into the streets.”Alexandra's brows creased. “What's the difference?” Beatrice pushed the helmet and a key towards her. “What do you think about delivery?” “I don't understand,” Alexandra replied, a line appearing in between her brows. “I don't have a scooter and—”“That's not going to be an issue,” Beatrice interrupted, tapping the helmet. “There's something waiting outside for you.”Alexandra glanced outside and then back to Beatrice, confusion clearly written on her face.“Go ahead,” Beatrice nudged, her eyes smiling

Chapter 23 - White's Corporation

Alexandra thought maybe her ear was hurting her or that maybe her mind was playing tricks with her.“What did you just say ma'am?” she asked, wiping her ear slightly. “You're going to the White's corporation,” Beatrice said as she fixed whatever was ordered. “The top floor of the building to be precise. You've got an order there.”Alexandra's heart dropped into her stomach. She wasn't just going to the White's corporation that belonged to Bryan but also to the top floor that might also belong to him personally.Beatrice's face twisted into a frown when she turned and saw her pale face.“What? You don't want to go?” She asked, concern heavy on her voice.Alexandra shook her head. “Of course not, ma'am. I definitely want to go.”That was anything but the truth as her heart was beating nonstop, her mind whispering the dangers of walking into his company. But Beatrice had just offered her the job, was she going to turn down her nice offer because of someone that doesn't want her.“I thou

Chapter 24 - A taste of revenge

It was until Alexandra closed the office door after her that she released the breath she didn't know she was holding. Whatever had pushed her to do what she just did should be able to save her when the consequences arise.She have not taken up to five steps away from the door when it suddenly flew open and Charlotte stormed out, walking towards her like a wounded lion.“How dare you?” She snarled, grabbing Alexandra's hair. “Did you forget so soon where you are?” Alexandra tried to wiggle free from her grip but it all proved abortive seems like she was going down today.Charlotte's palm collided with her face in seconds. “I'll teach you manners because it seems like you lack one.”Before Alexandra could react, Charlotte gave her three hot slaps that made her see stars. A surge of anger flew into Alexandra’s chest, maybe this was a perfect opportunity to start her revenge.In a blink of an eye, she grabbed Charlotte's hair forcing her to her knees. “Let me go,” Charlotte shrieked, he

Chapter 25 - Coffee cafe

Alexandra's stomach flipped as she stood frozen for as long as she could remember. She didn't need anyone to tell her that whoever led her here had a hand in the incident that happened more than a month ago.Swallowing nothing down, she turned around to return to where she had packed her scooter but then three men suddenly appeared from nowhere.Alexandra took a step back, her hand reaching for her inner pocket immediately. “Come on!” One of them said with a slight laughter. “Don't tell me you're going to bring out a stun gun.”Her body stilled instantly as she recognized the voice. “Kevin?” “Did you just call my name?” He asked, walking towards her with cold eyes.She quickly lowered her head, the men were on masks so her recognizing any of them would mean trouble.“I asked you a question, woman.” Kevin demanded, grabbing her chin with cruel fingers.Alexandra did the only thing her mind could come up. She gave him a kick in-between his legs and quickly hurried to the exit.The oth

Chapter 26 - The meeting

Alexandra glanced at Beatrice who raised a brow like she was asking her what's wrong. Alexandra shook her head, shifting her focus to the outside.“Miss, are you there?” The woman's voice came from the other end.“Ma'am, I don't understand.” Alexandra said, biting down on her lower lips. “Is something wrong with the design I made?” “Not at all,” the woman said with a light chuckle. "In fact, it was more than perfect. I would like to make a deal with you.” “A deal?” Alexandra repeated with knitted brows. “You're getting me confused.”“I'll tell you more about it tomorrow,” the woman said, her voice kind of hasty. “I have to go now, 2 pm tomorrow at the cafe.”She didn't wait for Alexandra to reply before hanging up the phone.“What did she say?” Beatrice asked the moment Alexandra turned back to her.“She wants to meet me tomorrow at the cafe to offer a deal,” Alexandra summarised what she understood from the call.“That's one hell of a good news,” Beatrice beamed. “What time did she

Chapter 27 - Miss Susan

Alexandra's breath hitched as the bottle of water almost slipped out of her hand. She dropped the bottle carefully on the table, her fingers clutching its edges.“Are you… are you working for her?” She asked, her voice trembling slightly. Beatrice shook her head, her frown deepening. “That should have been my question? Your drawing and sketches are exactly the same as hers. If I didn't see you draw the design yourself I would have said you stole her work.”Alexandra clenched her fists, biting her inner cheeks to keep herself composed. “She is the thief here.”“Did you say something?” the woman asked, her eyes not leaving Alexandra’s.“I-I don't know—”“Did you work for her?” The woman interrupted.Alexandra lowered her head without a word. “Work? She has worked for her all her life so which part of the work was she talking about?“Did you bully you or maybe threaten you not to talk about it?” The woman pressed further.Alexandra snapped her gaze up to meet the woman's sharp eyes. How

Chapter 28 - Designing

“Yes, ma'am.” Jennifer's secretary nodded. “She's the manager of the design department that was accused of plagiarising Charlotte's design.” Jennifer's brow furrowed. “I don't understand. What was her stance?” “She claimed that someone had sketched and designed it for her.” Her secretary said, staring at her. “Someone?” Jennifer glanced back at the tablet then at Beatrice before turning towards the café's exit.Her secretary followed suit immediately. They got to the company in minutes, Jennifer stepped out of the car heading straight to her office.“Ma'am, the meeting is—”“Miss Susan should report to my office with the so-called plagiarised design.” Jennifer ordered cutting him off. “As for the meeting, they should go on without me.”Her secretary didn't say anything else as he just bowed and left to carry out her order.Jennifer got into her office in seconds, she quickly pulled off her coat and hung it on the golden coat rack next to the window before taking her chair. Her fin

Chapter 29 - Unknown visitor

—A year later—Alexandra lowered herself on the floor, exhaling deeply. She was just about to focus on the necklace she was sketching earlier when a knock suddenly came on the door.She stood up and headed straight to the door, opening it without checking who it was. “Ma’am, you know it's still work hours.” she said, frowning when she saw who it was.“Of course I know,” Beatrice said, shoving herself into the room with her hand filled with different bags.“So what are you doing here then?” Alexandra asked, closing the door after her.“To work,” Beatrice replied, dumping the bags on the dining table.“Work?” Alexandra repeated, raising a brow. “Go to your shops for that—”“Shush,” Beatrice interrupted. “You should know already I'm not here for you.”She didn't wait for her reply before heading towards the inner room.“I just cuddled them to sleep,” Alexandra called after her, “and unless you want to sleep over tonight.”“You know I'll gladly do that.” Beatrice replied from the room.A

Chapter 30 - Are you my sister?

Alexandra's breath hitched instantly, she could recognize that voice even in her dream as it belonged to Charlotte but that wasn't the main issue. Her problem was the fact the words Charlotte had spluttered out.“Alexandra, quit pretending.” Charlotte snapped, voice harsh. “Daddy and mommy are already waiting at home. You should know better not to keep them waiting.” TTAlexandra swallowed nothing, walking towards the door. She had long expected her visit right from the moment she started drawing and designing jewelry. Taking a deep breath, she made for the door. But just as her hand reached for the door knob, Jennifer grabbed it.“What do you think you're doing?”Jennifer whispered.“Exactly what it looks like,” Alexandra replied, removing Jennifer's hand from hers.“Are you ready to face her? What about your kids? Ready to let the Gary's and White's know you are alive and have a kid?” Jennifer demanded, voice rising.Alexandra's hand stilled on the door knob. She turned towards Jenni
