“Alex, we are married! You shouldn’t be going after sl*ts like that!” Bella sneered, her voice croaking at every she uttered.“I know we are married,” Alex replied tartly, before turning to face her.“But that does not give you the audacity to hit Diana that way. She can get you sued for that, you know,” Alex explained, causing Bella's jaw to drop.Was this still her Alex?No, he is not the same Alex she knew.She grabbed his arm, then downturned her lips.“What is wrong, Alex? We were not like this. We were happily married, and you used to be cheerful and supportive, even though I was wrong. Have I done anything wrong to deserve this new change?” Bella questioned, pouting her lips.Alex, on the other hand, pulled his hand away from hers, replying swiftly, “I changed. I suddenly hate my former self, and my past disgusts me. At times, I start to wonder... was Dad right about you?”Bella blinked repeatedly, “Right about me? What did father-in-law say about me?” She asked, with curiosity
“Umm, you do. You did! I-I'm not lying,” Bella stammered, causing Alex to gaze at her warily.He looked down at her and muttered to himself, “Damn it, she is only going to fill my head with lies.”“Forget about the question. I need to rest now.” He replied, striding away from her, before he left the kitchen.With that, Bella heaved a sigh of relief, before touching her chest that rose and fell quickly.Just then, something struck Alex's mind. Alex turned back with a grin and muttered, “That reminds me!”“From now on, never call Diana a sl*t. And you must always treat her with the utmost respect. Since I'm the King of the world, treat her the same way you would treat a King's wife.” He uttered, causing Bella to be dumbfounded.“Huh?” “Do you want me to repeat that?” Alex questioned, giving Bella a cold, murderous look.“No, no. I understand what you meant!” Bella exclaimed, bowing her head slightly.Afterward, Alex left the kitchen area and Bella watched how he walked up the stairs.H
“Psychiatric? Come on...” Alex muttered, averting his gaze away from Bella.“Alright then,” Bella replied, sprouting to her feet.“Are you going somewhere?” He questioned, observing her hasty steps toward the closet.“Yes, I need to go see a friend,” Bella replied.“Male or female?” Alex questioned, causing Bella to scoff.“Female, Lisa to be exact,”“But Lisa should be at the hotel, doing her job as a receptionist.”“Well, she resigned from the hotel yesterday.”“Umm... okay,” Alex replied, walking out of the room since he was now calm and was not interested in discussing with Bella about her whereabouts.Meanwhile, Bella glanced over her wristwatch, before mumbling, “Gosh, it’s almost time!”Hastily, she changed her clothes, and walked out of the room, before bumping into Neil.“Umm, sorry...” She muttered, composing herself.“You must be Bella, Alexander’s wife, right?”“Yes? How do you know my name?”“I’m Neil, Ronald’s friend.”“Ohh.. we met at the hotel’s ballroom!” Bella exclai
Before Alex could even finish his statement, Diana slammed the door shut in his face, causing his jaw to drop in surprise.“Ugh... she is very stubborn...” Alex muttered to himself. His phone rang loudly throughout the villa, and he hastily answered it.“Boss, I have the video,” Theo uttered from the other end.“Good! Send the video's duplicate to me.” Alex instructed.“Alright, boss,” Theo responded, and Alex ended the call with a smile spreading across his face.“Neil and Victoria, your secret will be exposed soon. Just wait and watch.” He muttered to himself.Just then, Barbara walked past him and knocked on Diana’s room door.“I told you already, leave and stop bothering me!” Diana yelled from the room, causing Barbara to crease her brows in confusion.“Diana, it's me, Barbara,” Barbara replied.Hastily, the door opened and Diana peeked outside to check if it was only Barbara. As soon as she sighted Barbara, she heaved a sigh until she spotted Alex next to her.Barbara held a red
Even Mr. Harrington was surprised by his daughter’s deed. He assumed that Victoria got engaged to Neil because she loved him, not knowing that she was only after his money.“Right now, this wedding is canceled! My son can never get married to this wretched thing named Victoria!” Stella voiced out, causing everyone to gasp.Hastily, Mr. Harrington approached her and whispered, “Mrs. Morris, let's settle this privately.”“Don’t you dare talk to me! I can't believe I was going to be an in-law to you. You disgust me!” Stella yelled.Meanwhile, Ronald fainted, and some men rushed towards him, before they hastily called the ambulance.One of the men whispered the situation to Stella, causing Stella to rush towards Ronald.She was too focused on her son’s life, so she forgot about scolding Victoria and her father. Just then, Neil stylishly moved away from the table since everyone’s attention was on Ronald who had fainted.But before he could run away, some policemen grabbed him by his arm,
“Well, that won’t be possible, because my relationship with Bella is at the edge of a cliff,” Alex admitted, causing Rex to fake a gasp.“Goodness, did you both have a misunderstanding? If yes, it can be easily resolved. No need to worry about that,” Rex uttered.“The misunderstanding can not be resolved, and it's a long story anyways,” “Alright then. But the other thing I want to discuss with you is the new hotel that was built a few blocks away from Luxe Horizon. It seems like a competition.”“Even if it is a competition, I can handle it. Luxe Horizon is far superior to any other hotel in this city,” Alex replied, sprouting to his feet.“Excuse me now, I need to go,” Alex muttered, leaving the room in a minute.He reached the kitchen, expecting Diana to be there since he suspected that she would go to the kitchen at that time, to drink water or grab some food, but she wasn't there.Instead, he spotted Barbara.“Where is Diana?” Alex questioned, and Barbara shifted her gaze from the
“What?” Alex exclaimed, surprised by her statement. He composed himself quickly, assuming that what he heard was false.“Do you mean you want to sell Diana?” He inquired, causing Melissa to nod.“What are you still doing here?” Diana voiced out, approaching Alex.“Oh, I was just about to leave, until your roommate here talked about you,” Alex replied, causing Diana to fold her arms.“She is my mother,” Diana responded. With that, Alex’s jaw dropped. Why would a mother sell her own daughter?“She is your stepmom, right?” Alex questioned.“Just leave, the door is there,” Diana replied, not intending to talk to him as she walked towards her room.“Hey, what's wrong with you?! Do you know who he is? He is a rich man!” Melissa yelled, and Diana turned back.“Mum, don't waste your time. He is an imposter. He is only pretending to be a rich man’s son,” Diana replied, causing Melissa to narrow her eyes at Alex, before scoffing.“So you drank my tea and you are not rich?!” She yelled, her vei
Diana sensed that he was annoyed with her request for money, but she needed it for Iris’s surgery. She could not afford to lose her, for mere integrity's sake, even though she knew Alex would assume she loved him for his money.So, she continued her statement, “Actually, I'm only requesting an advance payment then you can lend me a little money.”“Borrow from the bank then,” Alex replied tartly, before he turned around to return to Rex’s room.Just then, Diana’s phone vibrated. She checked it quickly and realized that Melissa sent a message.[Hurry!]Hastily, Diana blocked Alex’s path.“I need the money urgently, and borrowing more from the bank will only consume time. Also, I work as a nurse, so I can pay you back in two more folds,” Diana replied quickly, intending to convince Alex.Sighing, Alex tucked his hands into his pocket and he turned around before responding, “When will you pay in two folds?”“Huh? Maybe in two years.”“Alright, Diana. I'm a businessman, and my money is not
