Bella shook the goblet, ensuring that the powder mixed well inside the wine. She clasped the goblet in her right hand and took the other goblet for herself, before approaching Alex with a wide smile.“Have this,” Bella spoke, handing the goblet to Alex.Alex placed the goblet on the table, and Bella muttered, “No, you should drink that first.”“Oh, okay,” Alex replied. He took a sip of the wine, causing Bella to grin.“I wanted us to meet, so I could apologize,” Bella spoke sweetly.“Oh, it's fine,” Alex grinned. He drank the wine in a go as he felt a little nervous.As soon as Bella realized that the goblet was empty, and Alex drank the wine, she smiled.“Also...” Bella began, pulling out an envelope from her bag before handing it over to Alex.“I need you to sign this,” she muttered. Alex gazed at the envelope. He removed the document from it, but when he tried to read it, the document became blurry.“There is no need to read it, Hubby. Just sign it,” Bella smirked, reassuring him
Iris left the hotel lounge angrily.Meanwhile, in the restroom, Diana pulled away from the kiss, and mumbled, catching her breath. “I’m so sorry. I didn't mean to-”Alex caught her statement with a kiss, disabling her from continuing her statement. It turned out that the first kiss aroused Alex’s feelings and the powdered drug was actively working.They ended up in the hotel room Diana booked before going to the restroom. The night that was supposed to be a time when Alex would sign the papers as Bella planned, and a time when Diana would drink alcohol until she fell asleep turned out to be the time when strangers shared love and became intimate.***The morning sunlight seeped through the curtains, and the hotel room was filled with a sense of warmth and intimacy as Alex and Diana lay close to each other. Beep!Beep!Beep!Alex’s phone vibrated, causing Alex to stir from his sleep. He jolted up from his sleep immediately he noticed the bright sunlight shining on his face.“Gosh, it
Diana gazed at Alex’s figure as he rushed out of the room. At first, she assumed it was a dream, but after looking down at her body, she realized that it wasn't.“What an arrogant man!” She scoffed, taking the right dose of the morning-after pill with a glass of water. Suddenly, she recalled that her phone and purse fell in the restroom when she was drunk, and she needed it. But she couldn't go there in a wedding gown that reeked of a man’s, Alex’s cologne, to avoid unnecessary wary gaze.So, she rushed into the bathroom to have her bath. When she was done having her bath, she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the bathroom mirror.She quickly glanced at it, realizing that there were love bites on her neck and chest area. Her cheeks turned red as she blushed, recalling how she spent the night with Alex. Although, she felt bad for him when she recalled the few scars she spotted on his body. “Who knows what happened to him? Maybe he works for the military...” She muttered to her
Diana boarded a taxi. She planned to hastily go to the patient’s house - to request an advance payment so she could clear the payment for the wedding gown.She gazed out of the window, enjoying the pleasant sensation of the breeze gently caressing her face. Just then, she spotted a young girl coughing as she clutched her throat.Instantly, Diana understood what was happening. She quickly instructed the driver to stop driving, while she rushed out of the car to help the young girl. It turned out that Emma, the young girl, was choking on a candy that blocked her throat.Her fingertips had already started turning blue, while other passersby did not understand what was happening to her. All they did was to approach her and ask her questions, which she could not answer since she was unable to speak.Hurriedly, Diana knelt behind Emma and wrapped her arms around her waist. She performed an abdominal thrust and Emma coughed out the candy.As soon as she could breathe freely, the other pas
“Sir...” Diana muttered, glancing at Alex who lay unconscious on the bed.Worry lines formed on her forehead when Alex didn't move and Barbara mumbled. “Sir, are you awake?”With that mumble, Alex stirred from his sleep.His eyelids opened, and the first thing he saw was Diana standing next to the bed. He realized that he was on the bed, and there was a soft pillow under his head.“Are you alright?” Diana questioned slowly.“Yes, but why are you here?” Alex inquired, touching his forehead since he felt a throbbing ache there. He didn't understand how he got on the bed when he was in the bathroom earlier. Did he faint?“Well, I forgot to tell you that I needed an advance payment. So I walked in to tell you, then I saw you on the floor, lying unconscious,” Diana explained, gazing at his head.“Do you feel dizzy or maybe nauseous?” Diana asked, and Alex shook his head.“No, it's just a headache,” Alex responded, and Diana took note of what he said in a notebook.Alex analyzed his surroun
From a distance, Barbara watched Diana and Alex with her eyes shot open. She was shocked to see them hug like they knew each other. Just then, Alex’s gaze fell on her, then he realized that he pecked Diana whose cheeks had turned red like a tomato. Hastily, he turned away from her. Diverting his gaze to Rex to change the atmosphere, he swiftly instructed Barbara. “Call Doctor Ben right now!” He uttered, his voice tinged with excitement.Barbara bowed her head slightly and reached for her phone. While Diana left the room, to excuse herself and let Rex and Alex discuss.Clasping Rex’s hand in his, Alex gazed at Rex as tears streamed down his cheeks.“I was terrified, Dad,” He sobbed, and Rex slapped his hand.“Terrified about what? Oh come on, men don't cry,” Rex uttered sarcastically, causing Alex to chuckle.“Oh well... now you are conscious, you have a lot to eat!” Alex exclaimed, wiping the tears from his face.Just then, Barbara walked in with a tray. The tray had a glass of wat
Confused by the sudden outburst of Alex’s absurd question, Diana furrowed her brows. If she wanted to be honest with that question, she would shake her head and say ‘No’. She would also say that she loved him, and she wished he loved her too. But when she recalled how Alex told her to stay away from him and only do her job, indirectly saying he didn't want to have any relationship with her, she changed her response. “Why are you asking that sort of question? Am I supposed to like you?” Diana replied.“I don't and I will never want you to like me! But can I get an explanation or a good reason for deliberately pouring hot coffee on me?” Alex asked, with his arms still crossed beneath his chest.“Well, I didn't do it deliberately, and I will never hurt anyone deliberately,” Diana admitted before she gazed at the soaked shirt in the sink.“But you are alright, right?” She questioned, her voice tinged with concern. And that made Alex annoyed! What if Bella was present, and Diana said t
Alex’s statement made Diana speechless.‘Is he jealous?’ She muttered to herself, before giving him a response, “Oh, I didn't know you two were related,” “That was not the question I asked,”“That is a personal question, sir,” she replied, bowing slightly before she turned around to leave.“Neil does not like you. He is only fooling around,” Alex muttered, causing Diana to turn back.She gazed at him, replying politely. “You can't judge him that way. He is very caring, and he apologized for what he did already.” Alex stood, moving away from the plush sofa, before tucking his hands into his pockets.“Well, what if I told you that he has a girlfriend already?” Alex spoke, gazing at Diana sternly.“I don't believe that,” She replied, crossing her arms. “You can say whatever you want, but that won't change my feelings.”Alex’s phone rang loudly in the room, averting his gaze from Diana. Meanwhile, Diana walked out of the room, not wanting to discuss with him about Neil.Alex watched her
