Then the real question Henry should be asking Alex flashed through his mind, and he added immediately as he leaned closer to Alex. "Wait! Did Emily know about your so-called relationship with Isabella? She agreed to be your mistress, or what? Knowing about your arranged marriage with Isabella? I don't think she can agree to something like that." He shook his head in disbelief, anticipating Alex’s response.“What have you done concerning this?” His voice was tinged with impatience and concern, seeing that the loquacious Alex, who was happy to disseminate all the information without hesitation just a moment ago, had become silent.As if Alex were touched by Henry's words, he began telling him about everything: how Emily didn't know about his relationship with Isabella and other aspects of his life due to her lack of online presence, the recurring suspicious behaviour of Isabella, her own suspicions, and how he was confused about what to do concerning the complex web of relationships he

The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, making Alex wake up with a beaming smile stretching across his face because the night was his best night ever. His eyes sparkled with a newfound sense of joy and fulfilment as he gazed upon Emily, still sleeping peacefully beside him.He was overwhelmed with fulfilment because he was finally able to actualize the fantasy he had been having concerning Emily's body.She was so good that one would have thought that she wasn't a virgin like she claimed if not for the fact that Alex trusted her and there was evidence for her claim—the blood stain as he penetrated inside her on the first attempt.He gazed upon her, still sleeping peacefully beside him like a sleeping angel, as he gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her face. “She's just so beautiful.” A smile escaped his lips.He was happy that she was his woman—a definite gem to any man.His fingers lingered against her soft skin as he savoured the moment, and a smile

Isabella got home fulfilled about everything that happened, but she could not help but wonder why Emily didn't recognise her.“At least, Alex's proposal for me went viral on the internet. Why couldn't she recognise me?” She wondered.Aside from that, she had paid blogs to rave about their relationship, which they have been doing.Ideally, Emily would have preferred if Emily had recognised her. She went there with two goals in mind. One was to create a scene if she acknowledged her, a way to publicly embarrass her. The second option was the one she ended up pursuing, which was also on the table.“Or did she recognise me but pretend not to?” She wondered, considering the possibility, particularly because some fans still gushed over him."Perhaps she's one of those who just wants to have a romantic relationship with him, not caring whether he will be getting married soon.” She considered.As Alex entered an upscale restaurant, he scanned the room immediately, and his gaze finally lande

The next morning, the insistent ringing of Alex's phone tore him from sleep. He took the phone from the side table, his gut clenching with anger. His anger heightened when the screen displayed that it was his secretary."What does she want? Why is she calling me early?" He growled silently because why would she be calling him some minutes past six a.m.?“Her reason should be worth calling and waking me up from my sleep.” He said.Then he picked up the call with the intention of lashing at her after she had spoken, if her reason was of no significance."Sir. Good morning, sir." Her voice came through, laced with a nervous tremor that surprised him.He barked at her in impatience. "What is it? Speak if you have anything damn good to say." He commanded her, still waiting to hear her reason for calling."I think you should be heading to the office now, sir." She replied, her voice barely a whisper.He threw the covers back, his muscles tight with annoyance because she dared talk to hi

As Alex stared at the screen, his mind struggled to comprehend the words displayed before him. GLE had released another update on the internet stating the company that they would be sponsoring was Santiago's company of all companies.The news sent shockwaves rippling through his entire being, leaving him feeling as though the ground had been yanked from beneath his feet.Disbelief coursed through his veins like ice water, numbing his senses and clouding his thoughts with a fog of confusion.The initial wave of disbelief quickly gave way to a surge of anger that burned hot and fierce in the pit of his stomach. How could he have let such a thing happen?It felt like a personal affront, a slap in the face that left him boiling in anger. It bubbled up inside him, boiling over like a raging inferno, threatening to consume him from within.It then dawned on him that he had lost the deal completely because it was way past negotiation since both parties had signed the deal before publishing
