"Gentlemen, I believe we are all fine for today," Alphonse said to the group of men gathered with him in a bar for the evening.

It was the weekend and he and some of his business partners, who were his friends, had gathered for a quick business meeting before a drink.

It was lowkey and they all came without their security details hoping for a chill time after work, and now they were finished it was time to chat.

"Indeed, and now it is time for booze. Let's let the stock market rest for once. It's weekend let's chill" one of his friends Joseph said and motioned for the bartender.

"Joe when you say it like that you make us look like rascals" Alphonse laughed as he put his pen and journal away.

"Aren't we all rascals in disguise? I mean you looked different when you came in with that expensive coat, who would know you have a good friendship with the president and the First Lady" another said and they all laughed

"How's the wife?" Alphonse asked Joe who was the only person not talki

    "Remember you have to be on the lookout, red hair,slender legs. It's why you are here today, the three of you. That's why you are all here, I won't be going home without knowing who Colette D'amelio is tonight" Alphonse gave out instructions. Someone grumbled. "But you said you didn't want to come. I wanted to be a free elf here tonight and you never wanted to come, all of a sudden you are here giving us tasks when we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves?" Peter asked him with a very bored look. "That's not the point Peter, Denver control your husband before I get angry" Alphonse said and Tina laughed from beside them. "He's all good," Denver said and put an arm around a scowling Peter. "I'm here to party not to be a watchdog" Peter complained and walked away "Besides I brought him here, I accepted the invitation. Not the other way round, cunt!" Peter complained to Denver as they both walked away. "I heard that!" Alphonse said after their retreating figures "I bet you did!" Pe

    "Wow. How?" Alphonse was not calm at all, his heart was racing. The three women he had been searching for stood before him as one. "I am of Italian descent. My mother was Italian from Sicily. My middle name is Heidi and Colette was her middle name. I played around with D'amelio, which is my grandfather's name. It was fun using my alias for a while" Charlotte said with a lazy shrug as she played with her hat. "I never knew, I..." Alphonse stuttered "You never knew anything about me" Charlotte said in a very plain voice, not depicting emotion. "Oh, uh right" he nodded "Your hair. Is this... what did you...?" He pointed at her red hair. "Left it to grow out, I always dyed it before, I'm a natural redhead. Any more questions?" The chandelier above them flickered to a low light and Alphonse, not knowing what to say or having any more questions to ask, glanced up and at that moment he could not be more grateful for what he saw. “I met you under the mistletoe,” he said and looked ba

    "Ma'm, there's a lady out here asking for you" "I'm in the middle of a fitting and half naked in a changing room. What could be so important?" Charlotte asked not to turn as she arranged the hand of her dress. "Uh, it's..." “Hi” Carla's voice came from the doorway of the dressing room. Charlotte's eyes raised up to look at Carla from the mirrors surrounding her. She sighed and took off the dress she was wearing before picking up another from the hanger close to her. "Thank you Tasha, I'll take it from here. I will be needing another glass of champagne" Charlotte said. "I will be right back" the attendant Tasha said and closed the door, leaving the two women who were at loggerheads together in the room alone. “Are you stalking me now?” Charlotte asked in a very bored tone as she tried on a new dress, not wanting to pay attention to Carla's presence or even throw her the slightest look she could mutter or glance her way. Carla's hand went to her still flat belly instinctivel

    "Good morning to you all, Elena, please get me my coffee. The marketing team can go ahead with their presentation. Remember one more mistake and in trashing it, your only saving grace is today. Please proceed" Alphonse said and an intern started to set out the plans in front of him. The head of the marketing team stood up and went to the front of the projector. She turned down the lights and was about to begin before she stopped. "Don't start!" The small sing-song voice filled the room. All eyes turned to the source of the voice and Alphonse looked up from the presentation plans. She had been on his mind all these while but today was the last day he was expecting to see her, but she had a new habit of arriving when least expected of late. "Getting the party started without the host? That's corny Alphonse, you plan on betraying me again?" Charlotte said, smiling prettily as she came inside the boardroom, standing at the other end of the table, directly opposite Alphonse. "Charlot

    Alphonse swallowed and nodded once before stepping back, he didn't need to be near her with the rage that filled him.“What so you’re using him for his money or he has you for your body?” Alphonse asked disrespectfully, wanting to make her feel the same pain he was feeling.Charlotte's head whipped to face him, not expecting such words from him but at the same time she wanted to push him more since she saw he was getting more angry.“I’m building bridges” she shrugged, a small smile creeping on her lips slowly.Alphonse laughed and shook his head, she was really getting on his last nerve and breaking his resolve.“So you being with him is for connections and what nots?” He asked to be sure he was not hearing her wrong before he said what his anger was pushing him to do.“If you choose to put it that way” Charlotte shrugged lazily and arranged her hair.Alphonse groaned and put his hand on his hips, finally choosing to do what he struggled against.“You are choosing to be a slut for mo

    "Happy married life man. Look at you now a husband and an expecting father. At least you have something to calm you down now" Alphonse said loudly and a little tipsy as he and Paul shook hands and hugged each other happily."I'm just blessed man, I am a very blessed man. My mother is with me, I've got a stable job, a happy family, a baby on the way and a Mrs Warner. I can't count my blessing enough" Paul said cheerily."I'm happy for you man" Alphonse said.It was Paul and Jillian's wedding today.

Alphonse said and handed him a wrapped box."Oh Hannah,

    "Baby" Charlotte murmured and stirred in her sleep, Alphonse who was sleeping peacefully beside her awoke by her movements."Don't let go" she mumbled quietly, and if Alphonse had not been silent and paying attention he would not have caught it.Slowly he raised himself up on one hand and propped his head on his palm while he stared at her.It was dawn already and small rays of sunlight strayed into the room from the blinds. It seemed Tina had come in and closed it properly so the could have a good sleep and not get blindsided by the sun when it was time to feel the hang over from last night.Last night.Alphonse thought about it and smiled, his memories of how they got home last night were scattered and if he was on good terms with Peter, the old man would have filled him in on all that had happened already.Alphonse's finger traced some strands of her red hair that had strayed to her face, her pushed the hair back and away from her face to get a better view.She slept so gently and

    "Hey""Hey""What are you doing here?""I was not expecting to see you," they both said in unison."I think we both know the answer to our questions, " Alphonse said and Charlotte chuckled."Yeah," she said, smiling."I called after you left mine that morning but you never answered" Alphonse said and Charlotte nodded slowly."I was away in Greece, for business. With Dante" as she added the last part Alphonse nodded quickly, wishing he had not brought up that line of conversation."Right. No alcohol today?" He said as he pointed at her glass and both of them laughed, they both understood the inside joke."I do not want to end up in your bed again" Charlotte said and Alphonse laughed but something witty came to his mind at that exact moment."Yeah, imagine what Dante would say if he found out." He said and Charlotte almost choked on her wine."Shut up you fool" she said to him through gritted teeth."Say I tell him now, I walk up to him and say "sup man, did you know your girl was in my

    Four years later “Liana you better stop running or you will fall!" Charlotte called out to her four years old daughter who ran outside as he brother chased her giggling. The twin brother came wheezing past his mother as she gathered their toys which they left haphazardly all over the living room. “Adrian come here right now and put on this jacket, it’s cold outside” she noticed he had not put on his jacket like his sister. Adrian did not come back but she could still hear their laughter outside. As if on cue thier father came downstairs with bed hair, he had just woken up from a nap. “Alphonse please control your children, they’re giving me a hard time today” she complained and picked up the last you. “Good Afternoon to you too Mrs Edmund” he said and kissed her on the cheek before going into the kitchen. He had changed his name officially to his father's name after the gruesome death of Ursula, as a way to keep the name of his father alive. That meant he also had to change h

    "Get my bag from the car you incompetent fool and stop staring at me like that" Ursula yelled at the new young man who had been hired two days ago to be her personal body guard and helping hand. "I'm sorry ma'm" he apologized quickly and ran to get her bag. "What's your name? Who hired you?" She asked him in pure anger but before he could reply she turned to the head of her staff, a grumpy looking burly man who stood far away. "Who hired him!" She yelled at the man who ran up to her. "I did" he replied her fearlessly. "What were you thinking hiring someone as useless as yourself?" She insulted the man who only rolled his eyes at her, he was used to her insults by now and was only working for the woman because he needed the money. "He is good at his job, he was recommended by an agency that is very good at recruiting body guards and personal assistants" he said and Ursula looked at him in disgust. "First thing tomorrow morning, get me someone who knows his job and looks a little

    A week later. "Baby! Can you get me the sunscreen!" It was not a request and Alphonse knew it so he stopped what he was doing and quickly went to bring the sunscreen for his wife. It was a week after their wedding and they were having their honeymoon in thier private beach house in Monaco, Italy. "Don't you just love how you boss me around?" He bent and kissed her, blocking the sun touching her body which was draped in a bikini. "Are you complaining?" She asked as her hand snaked around his neck and found its was into his hair. "Not at all my love" he said and kissed her again while Charlotte smiled. "How are you loving being back in your hometown?" He asked her as he came around her and sat on the beach bed, popping the lotion bottle open and getting ready to go to work. "My parents met here, and I am loving the fact that I came here with the man I love and married and plan on starting a future with" she said and started to untie the straps of her bikini.

    “You did that to my mother, ruined my life and my family’s and you have the nerve to stand before God and get married?” Vivian stumbled with a bottle of Alcohol towards the altar. “What is she doing here?” Charlotte asked getting angry at the sight of the other woman. “How did she get in here?” Carla asked dropping her bouquet of flower and stepping forward. "Today I will put my hands on her" she said walking towards her but Everest was quick to stand up and hold his wife. The whole church was turned into an uproar. "Don't do that Carina, sit down" Everest was also holding Carina back. “Father, give us fifteen minutes. I need to get this sorted out” Alphonse said with a sigh. Charlotte looked very sad and angry at the interruption at her wedding. Vivian was ruining the one day that was supposed to be the happiest in her life. “It will be okay baby, I will get her out of here as soon as I can” Alphonse said as he hooked a finger under her chin. Charlotte nodded wordlessly and

    "Oh my Lord, you look absolutely gorgeous!" "Stunning!" "You think so?" Charlotte turned with a nervous smile. Both Jennifer, Paul's mother and Hannah, Alphonse's mother came into the room with praises. "We don't think so, we know so honey. You are the most beautiful bride I have seen in a while. Don't let Jillian hear this by the ways" Jennifer said and they all laughed. "I am nervous" Charlotte said and both mothers looked at themselves before coming to seat on each of her side and held her hand. "It is your wedding day baby, it is understandable if you get scared. I mean we both never had weddings at this age but I knew if we had we would be as anxious as you are now, right Jennifer?" Hannah asked Jennifer who quickly nodded. "Right" she replied. "It's okay to be nervous baby, you're leaving your life as a single woman to start new with someone else. But you love him don't you?" Jennifer asked her and Charlotte nodded quickly.

    "Do you have plans for today?" Alphonse asked Charlotte as he kissed her lovingly.They had just had another bout of morning sex."Not really, I just plan on being lazy all day" she said and hooked one of her legs on his bare waist, their sweat and after sex juice rubbing against each other and staining the sheets."How about you being lazy about me?" He asked and kissed her again."Who else was I supposed to waste my day with?" She giggled as he burrowed his face into her neck."I'm glad I'm the only one on your mind" he said and kissed her cheek again."Mhmm" she laughed and licked her lips."Remember those sundresses you used to like back then?" He asked her and she turned in the bed to face him."Yes""Do you still like them?" He asked her and she smiled."Of course, they're my to go dresses when I want to relax and I planned on wearing one today. Look at the coincidence" she said and Alphonse laughed."Uhhh..." he hesitated and scratched his brow."Spill" she said to him as she k

    "Hey honey" Alphonse came into the room with a food tray."Hey" Charlotte sat up on the bed with a smile."Long night is it?" He asked her as he sat down on the bed and placed the food tray gently on by her side."What a gentleman you are Mr Fischer" she said with a giggle."Indeed, to make up for the lost energy of last night" he said to her with a wink and she laughed."It's too early Alphonse" she said laughing "It past one in the afternoon" he told her and her eyes widened."What? I slept that long?" She asked and looked around for her phone or wristwatch."After effects of your little drink with friends" he said and she blushed, covering her face slightly."I had no idea it was going to hit that much, I'm starting to think I was laced. Besides you added to my exhaustion, taking me up against the shower while I stood, if you look at it from my view you also contributed" she said and Alphonse smiled proudly."As long as you are satisfied, I don't care how tired you become.

    Charlotte chuckled and opened another button. “You are jealous,” she said. "I am" he replied to her quickly with a soft nod. "Why..." she asked, smiling at him . "You know why" he said to her but caught a whiff of wine on her breath and that made him smile. He now knew where she got her confidence from tonight. A bottle. "Are you drunk?" He asked her. Charlotte nodded and stepped back away from him, not knowing what his reaction to that might be. But as she took a step back she swayed a bit and Alphonse reached his hand out to steady her. "I had a little to drink," she said, pinching her index finger and thumb together, showing the extent to which she drank. And that made Alphonse chuckle, she was safe from the truth, mainly because he saw the glaze in her eyes and her smile was too much. But the smile was dropping slowly. "It's been a rough couple of months and I just wanted a time out you know." She explained but Alphonse was looking at her in confusion. She thought Al
