Annie stared long at the closed door, before looking back at her friend. "Somehow, I think he is sincere. what if someone is trying to frame him? She asked and Alexander eyed her. "Who would want to frame a poor boy like him. He has nothing, his parents have nothing, he was born into a poor family and only agreed to this marriage because he needs money, so his type, can never be satisfied, he would always want more. He has nothing, so why will anyone, frame a duns? She had a point, since the marriage was a contract, he is in her life for the money and the benefits, so there is no way, he wouldn't want to do any other thing to get more money, even if it is to show the world, the part of Alexander, that she didn't want the world to see."But why didn't you destroy the picture, after the other surgeries? Annie asked, wondering why anyone would want to keep something, she herself doesn't want to see."I didn't want to keep it, but that image had a bracelet in it. It belonged to my mother,
The anger in his heart was melted down immediately, when he reached the house, and sees that she was actually nursing his father, for he was coughing profusely, that he even coughed blood. She didn't seem to notice him, it was his father that noticed him standing by the door, and called out to him, before she turned to look at him, but she looked away immediately. She administered his pills, and soon he was relaxed. "Where is your nurse Dad? Ryan was more worried about that, as he took a step inside, and shut the door, it is already too late for their doors to still be opened."When Juliana came, and said she would spend the night here, the nurse decided to go and attend to some personal problems, but she will be back tomorrow, you don't have to worry, she was with me since morning". Ryan sighed with relief, for he would have asked questions, wondering already, if they stopped the nurse.After a few more minutes, Mr Scott was sleeping and snoring loudly, it is just an hour to midni
The next day at work. Ryan lay his head on the desk, and flashed back to what happened the previous day.It was sad that Damien also thinks he could do such a thing. Somehow, he wished his father isn't involved, he wish he could just walk away from the contract, but he couldn't, unless it was coming from Damien himself, there was no way, he could watch and allow his father go to Jail, for something he could do on his own, his mother would laugh at him, and Julianna would never stop laughing. After the days work, Ryan wanted to see Damien for the last time before going home, for he doesn't know how to act or what to do, but as soon as he got close to the office, he could hear them having a heated argument, about him. Ryan was frustrated. The fact that he is in the middle of it all, was tiring. "Dad, you cannot possibly mean that? How am I supposed to live in the same house with a man like that? Alexander was crying, while Lindsay was furious. She had never liked Alex, and they had ne
His slumber was interrupted by an angry Alexander. "Are you sleeping in the office now? Ryan got up almost immediately, and wiped his face. The thought of the previous incidents have been pressing on him. "You don't have any shame. You even have the guts to sleep out with your girlfriend. You exhausted yourself, and now, all you can do is sleep here?". She sounded angry, but before he could say anything, Damien walked in, looking angrier. With his first finger pointed at him, he warns."You signed a contract Ryan, but you have been pushing me terribly these days, I wouldn't want to loose my temper with you, so please, respect our contract. I know you don't love my daughter, but bringing your girlfriend to your house, after what you did to my daughter, What exactly was it for? To celebrate her sorrows, or is it another slap to her face? He was raising his voice and those left at the office, were listening, but acting like they were not. What was supposed to be kept secret is now kno
With the thought of what she had seen in mind, Alexander finally went to sleep. It wasn't easy falling asleep, because she kept turning and tossing and wondering if she had misunderstood Ryan, and accused him wrongly. And if the paparazzi guy had been lying or telling the truth? As she finally gave in to sleep, she noticed.The sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, bathing the room in a warm, golden glow. Alexander stirred, a contented smile playing on her lips as fragments of her vivid dream lingered in her mind. She stressed lazily, feeling an unusual sensation of warmth and satisfaction. She finds herself smiling and not ready to get up from bed, but then, with a start, she bolted upright in bed."Oh no". She gasped, glancing at the clock. The red digits flared back at her: 8:45 Am. "I'm late! But didn't I just fall asleep? She asked rhetorically.Alexander tumbled out of bed, her limbs entangled in the sheets. She stumbled towards the bathroom, her mind racing. It had
She bolted up again, and sat up. Trying to wrap her arms around what she just read. She read it again, and this time, she could hear him laughing at her, while writing the note. Her door is still not fixed, and she wondered. What if he had watched her all through while she screams and calls his name in tamed excitement. She had been acting all strong and mean, but only a dream, a wet dream have exposed her. And what does he mean by "Interesting? Alexander repeated, her cheeks flushing. "Oh God, I must have done something embarrassing? She replayed every possible scenario in her mind, cringing at each one. Could it be possible that she was touching herself and calling on him? She was getting even more confused, and knowing that she was going to see him at work, she contemplated going. After pausing to think for what seem like forever, she made up her mind.And In a whirlwind of motion, she grabbed her bag and keys and dashed out the door. Her phone buzzed with notifications, as she st
Before the close of day, Annie had arrived and was waiting for her outside. She sounded urgent when she called. As soon as Alexander heard Annie was already in the parking lot, she decided to sneak out, before anyone would approach her, but then, she was stopped by her father, who just walked into the office, at the same time, she was about to leave."Alex my daughter, you have been on your own all day, I hope you are fine? He asked, sounding concerned."I had a lot of files to attend to, that is why I couldn't come out to see you". She says, and was still trying to gather a few more things, when her father tries to strike a conversation with her, but she cut him short."Annie is waiting for me outside, I have to run". She says, and rushed passed him. Damien was not sure, if he was seeing right, but he was confused about her attitude, that he thought it must have something to do with Ryan Scott again, so he planned to approach him. If his daughter wouldn't speak to him, he is sure,
The world spun around Alexander, as she bolted out, her mind racing faster than her legs. She had seen them kissing. The kiss-oh, that kiss had changed her mind and everything she thought she was begining to feel for him. She have heard about Juliana in the passing. She had even asked him about her, but he never speaks much about her. It was as though he didn't feel anything for her, but what she had seen tonight, had answered all her unasked questions.One moment she was trying to escape the hunting memories of Ryan, and the next, she is caught in a whirlwind of emotions. Her heart pounded like a drum, as she fumbled with her car keys, her hands trembling.Ryan turned to look at Juliana, wondering why she had all of a sudden, forcefully kiss him, when they were just having a discussion on his father's progress, but upon seeing Alexander, he knew what happened and why Juliana had done that. He was angry with her, but he needed to explain to Alexander first, before showing Juliana, j
