Clarrisa disengaged from his embrace while having an expressionless look on her face, was he actually taunting her at this point?“Really?” Her eyes rolled as she talked, “your best friend gets all the nice compliments and I get nothing? What has that girl got on you Alex?” This time she folded her hands across her chest, “why do you cherish her so much?”“I don’t cherish her more than I do you Clarrisa and you know that”“Oh please Alex” she rolled her eyes again, “I saw you hugging her when you were supposed to come with me”“Let’s just leave or if the reporters come here, I won’t be able to stop them”The smile on her face intensified and she felt like laughing her eyeballs out. Who was he kidding? Did he think that she was a fool?“You have to be on my side Alex” she said while tugging at his shirt, “I am the one whom you are about to get married to and not that bitch. This will be the last time I will not tolerate you when you take her side and not mine Alex”“As you wish my lad
“What?” Clarissa couldn’t believe her eyes, “you got me a Diamond ring?”Alex shrugged, “technically, you have been wearing the one I got your for a while now and it’s kind of old so I wanted to suprise you”Her lips curled into a smile and she pounced into his embrace, “thank you so much baby, I don’t even know what to say”“Don’t say anything baby” he whispered over her hair while an evil smirk was tugging at the edge of his lips, his manipulative skills were top notch.after a few minutes, Clarrisa disengaged from him and he could see a worried look on her face, it seemed like something was bothering her.“Are you okay, princess? What happened?”The lady sighed and walked over to one of the sofas in the room before perching on it.“The man who bought the shares came for the meeting today”Now this piqued Alex’s interest and he went to sit beside her, “and what happened?”“Can you imagine?” She blurted, “he has thirty percent of the shares to his name”“What?” Alex beamed with pret
After Alex dropped the call, the smirk on his lips intensified as he made his way towards his car, things were getting much more interesting than he thought.Before he could get to his car, a sea of reporters hovered around him and he had no option than to stand and listen to their nonsense.Be it Jayden or Alex, none of them ever interested in the public eye. They were both social nerds but at this point, being a socially active butterfly was something on Alex’s plate that he had to eat and he was doing well in eating it.“Excuse us sir” the reporters were all struggling to be heard, “why have you come all the way to your fiancés work place at noon?” One of them asked.“Is another conspiracy brewing?” Another questioned.“Tell us sir, you are treating this matter so lightly. The public may be forced to believe that you were in Cohorts with your fiancé even before this day”Alex was quiet for a while and he listened to all their rambles and from the look of things, he looked quite tir
The moment Alex got to the door, he continued to knock frantically but no one was coming to open the door and neither was Bianca answering her phone. His heart was already beating fast against his rib cage as he continued to knock. Why the hell was she not opening the door?“We should break the door sir” his driver suggested and Alex nodded, in no time he was in her apartment and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the trail of blood on the ground and a frail figure lying near the dining table in the pool of her own blood.“Bianca” Alex ran to her, “Bianca” he was shaking her vigorously but she was already unconscious. His whole life came to a standstill when he held the limp Bianca in his arms“Call the ambulance, harry”“Yes boss”He continued to shake and talk to her but the lady in his arms was not having any signs of waking up and Alex felt like his whole world came to a halt.He knew Gerald was going to make a move on her but he didn’t think it would be this soon and that was
The moment Clarissa got into her car, the tears she was struggling to contain burst out of her eyes. The fact that Alex would suspect her of being the person that attacked Bianca made her feel so sad.Yes she said she was going to pay her back for what she did but it was not like she wanted her dead.A lot was going on in her mind when the screen of her phone lit up and she saw it was her mum calling.Sighing for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Clarrisa connected the phone to her car speaker and pressed the receive button.“Mum” “What happened, baby?” Gwen asked from the other end, “why did you leave the house in such a hurry and you were not picking your calls, what happened? You got me all worried”Clarrisa sighed, she didn’t want to tell her mum that she just had an argument with Alex but the fact that she left the house meant something had happened right?“Clarissa?” Her mother called again and she jolted to reality.“Mum, Alex is in the hospital”“Why?what happened?”“No” s
“What do you mean?” She had to ask, “you want to go on a date when Bianca is literally still in the hospital? I mean you don’t want…..”Her voice trailed off when Alex placed his index finger on her lips.“Shhhh” his lips stretched into a smile, “you are talking way to much baby”“But…” He interrupted her again, “don’t you want to spend some time with me? Would you rather I go to Bianca than spend some time with the woman of my dreams?”The way the insides of his stomach churned when he made that statement made him almost want to throw up.“You have natural lover lines Alex, it makes me wonder how well you have been hiding it”“So will you go on a date with me, Mrs Clarissa chase?”Her breath hitched, did he just call her chase? Was he kidding with her right now because her insides were about to burst with happiness.“Did you just call me Mrs chase?”Alex drew her closer and playfully pinched the tip of of her nose.“Aren’t you Mrs chase?”“Stop it” Clarrisa was blushing so hard, “yo
“Knock knock” Clarrisa gently knocked on her father’s study door and he looked up from the document he was reading. Gerald’s lips curled into a smile when he saw his favorite person standing by the door looking all happy. Well, why wouldn’t she be? The news of Alexander Chase's housewarming party was already all over the news and Clarrisa being a bitch and a murderer was old news. Everything seems to be going so well even if it was just two days after the attack on Bianca.“Come in princess, why are you standing by the door?” Gerald asked as he leaned back on his chair, “why do you look so happy though? Did you win a lottery?”“Dad” the smile on her lips intensified as she sauntered into the study, “you are working overtime again?”“What can I do?” He inquired with a shrug, “Mr Andre is putting me on my toes'' he gritted his teeth, “that damned French man”Clarrisa laughed at her father’s outburst, he could be overly dramatic when angry or not.“Why are you here though?” He asked agai
The hall was already filled up when Alex led her into the house and she could tell the amount of things he had to put in place to make the party a success. Everywhere was beautifully decorated and looked superb, Alex was not one to leave stones unturned.“You did all of this?” Clarrisa whispered to him as they walked over to a group of guests, her hand gently tucked away in his arms.“I have to live up to my name, princess” Alex whispered back with a smile on his lips.More than anyone he was the most happy, being able to live in his parents house again was something that he would appreciate all his life until he breathed his last.“Mr Money” , a Certain Asian man walked up to him with a bright smirk on his face. He was one of the many who had been looking for a chance to get a partnership with Alex’s company. Being sent an invite to grace his housewarming party was one of such opportunities he didn’t want to miss.“I am glad you were able to make it, Mr Jung” Alex answered while stre
