Ryan sat on the couch, his eyes fixed on the clock, the soft tickling sound the only thing breaking the silence of the night. Hours had passed since Alexander said she needed to see Annie, and with each minute that dragged by, his anxiety grew. The once comforting warmth of their home felt cold and empty.The shadows cast by the dim light seemed to stretch across the walls, echoing the dark thoughts that plagued his mind.He replayed the day's event, over and over again, trying to make sense, of Alexander's sudden change in behavior. The quiet drive to work, her refusal to have breakfast, her avoidance of him when it was time to go home, and even when she had spent the night at home, she preferred to spend it with Emily. It was unlike her to be so distant, so closed off. Ryan could feel something was deeply wrong, but he could not place his hands on what it could be.Unable to bear the silence any longer, he reached for his phone and called Annie. If anyone knew where Alexander was o
He could see the walls of his life crumbling before him, piece by piece.The feeling that Juliana have something to die with his present situation was something he could not rule out. The more he thought of it, the more he became desperate to learn the truth.Without a second thought, he grabbed his keys and stormed out of the house, leaving the door ajar in his haste. The night air was cool, It was a sharp contrast to the storm of emotions raging within him. His mind race with every step he took, the tension in his muscles building as he made his way to Juliana's house.When he finally reached the door, he hesitated for a moment, his fist hovering just above the wood. Was this really the right thing to do? He needed answers, and she was the only likely enemy that could give them to him. Taking a deep breath, he knocked firmly on the door.Juliana who seem to have seen him through the window, knew why he had come so late in the night, and she opened the door after the first knock, wit
The poison she had slipped into his drink would keep him unconscious for hours, That is plenty of time, for her to set her plan into motion. She would lay with him naked, and then take pictures of the both of them in bed, she will then send the pictures to Lindsay first, so she could give her more money, then she will send the pictures to Alexander and that will destroy whatever remaining trust Alexander had in him.It was not easy for her taking Ryan to her room, he felt too heavy, but she needed to do it before the position wears off. When she got to her room, she pushed him in the bed, and undressed him, just taking off his shirts, then she covered his legs with duvet. She also undressed, she set her phone, to take the pictures after few minutes. She lay there with him, holding him tight as the flash illuminated his pale face, his expression peaceful and unaware of the chaos about to unfold.After she was sure, she had taken enough oppressing pictures, she sent them to Lindsay, who
"What am I doing here? Ryan asked, shocked to be in a strange room and Alexander in tears, standing Infront of him."What do you mean by that Ryan? You don't have to lie, because she is here. You said it yourself last night,that she isn't giving you what you want, that it is me you want". Ryan was lost, for he doesn't even understand a thing he was hearing. He pushed her aside, and tried to move but he had a spinning head ache, but he needed to fight it, just to be with Alexander."I swear Alexander, it is not what you think. I don't even know how I ended up in the room". He tries to explain."You don't know how you ended up in the room in the bed with her? Oh dear, I will help you remember. You came here to celebrate hurting me, you both had a few drinks and you ended up in bed". Alexander says, as she allowed her tears flow freely. she had initially promised herself that she wouldn't cry, but she just couldn't help it."I am not supposed to be here, but I still want you to say it to
By the time they got to Alexander's aunt's house, she was already outside waiting for her."Your father called already, he says you didn't show up at work, and you are not at home. he says he met your child at home, that she was all alone, all by herself, you weren't there, neither was Ryan. What is going on? She asked.Alexander sat on the couch as she stared blankly at the cup of tea placed before her.She thought of Emily and her father. He already went to the house to check on her. She doesn't know how to tell him, that Ryan isn't the man he thought he was."Things are really crazy right now". She says.Her aunt Mercy sat across from her in an armchair. She had watched Alexander grow up, had seen her go through the ups and downs of life, and now, seeing her in such turmoil, her heart ached. She waited for her to speak up. only then can she advise her, after all, she is still a teenager."I thought I have finally found that one person that would make me very happy for the rest of
Later that evening, Alexander decided to leave aunt Mercy's house, for her house, she was thinking of Emily all through, and she didn't want her to be alone again.After she left, aunt Mercy called Ryan. She should speak to him first, before Alexander speaks to him.Ryan's heart pounded as he stared at the phone, his hands trembling slightly. He just finished speaking with Alexander's aunt, the woman who held more sway, over Alexander's decision, than anyone else. Her voice had been calm, yet firm, offering him a glimmer of hope in which felt like an endless night of despair. He knew this was his chance to make things right, but the weight of his mistakes, pressed down on him like a leaden cloud.Ryan had barely slept, since the incident at Juliana's apartment. The image of Alexander's face, filled with doubt and hurt, haunted him. His mind replayed the moment he saw Juliana beside him in bed, the horror of realization sinking in that he had been drugged and manipulated. The thought o
Staring blankly at the floor, as he sat on his bed, he allowed his heart to beat fast, as Aunt Mercy's words still echoed in his mind. A reminder of her words, stirred something deep within him, a mixture of wisdom and challenge. There is no way he could just give up like that, this was a fight, and Alexander was worth all the fight.He would fight for her, even if that was the last thing he does. Juliana cannot come and destroy what he had tried to build. He cannot let Juliana's manipulations, get in the way of his feelings.He nodded his head, agreeing with her, that she was right. He couldn't let this end like this, not without a fight. The relationship between them have been something he had never really anticipated, he beat his chest, telling himself the truth. He loves her, and she was worth everything, just telling himself isn't enough, she needs to be reminded of what they shared, the moments shared and what it meant to him and he is sure, it meant the same to her. With dete
After receiving his message, she quickly opened it. She have actually been waiting to hear from him, somehow, she wants him to convince her beyond reasonable doubt that he is still with her. So as she sat on the edge of her bed, her phone resting in her palm like a weight she wasn't sure she could bear. She thought of all she had read. Ryan's message had come through just minutes ago, but it felt as if the words were crawling through her veins, wrapping themselves around her heart in a slow, and steady grip.Her first instincts was to ignore, even though she have wanted to hear from him. She had also thought of blocking him severally, but that wouldn't give her the peace she craves, but something about wanting to hear from him, tugged at her. She found herself reading it again, every word pulling her further into the memories she had tried so hard to suppress. She even smiled at some point, because his words felt like he was standing close to her, and speaking to her heart. Her fing
She thought she would have a little time to do a little ladies thing, but surprisingly, as he sucked on her breast, while fondling at the same time with it, reminded her of the night she drugged Ryan. He had been so angry about getting married to Alexander and had been so fierce with her. Damien also looks very angry, and is also acting strangely. Though she was married to him for years, she never saw him, so fierce and needy before, she tries to blame it on the substance, but then it isn't also the first time, she was using a substance on him. Her marriage with him have been more like a child's play, that she always tries to spice their sex life up in one way or another, which never really gave her the vibe and energy she so long for. Which is also why she meets withen outside her marriage."You are different". She confessed, with the way he was fondling with her, and moving his hands all around her, it felt like he had been hungry for too long."Yes I know, and you taste differen
Lindsay visited Damien Brick again, she has been visiting him a lot since he became partially ill, but he has been acting like he isn't attracted to her anymore, she decided to add a little aphrodisiac, into his medicines, she needed to get him to break by all means. When she got to the house, she noticed he looked stronger than what her son had told her."What are you doing here? He asked, as soon as he saw her entering, and he would have continued, but their son walked in, he looked happy to see his mother, and after exchanged pleasantries, she asked him to excuse them."I came to see you Damien, you are my husband, we just separated because of misunderstanding, but I am here now, and I am here to make everything right, that is if you are going to give me a chance". She looked determined, and Damien looked like he is about to give in, but not without a force."We don't have anything to discuss, we are divorced, wether you signed the papers or not". He tells her, but she knows better
Juliana feigned a smile, then walked in slowly, as though she had come into the wrong house to steal, but they were all giving her a shocking look, that she sensed to already know the reason for their looks. But she still needs to confirm."Hello everyone". She greeted, but they didn't respond to her greeting, they kept looking at her, like she is some kind of a burglar. The other younger sisters, that probably didn't know her, even clinched to their purses, and phones."I know I didn't visit when I said I would and I have been away for too long, but it's been a really long journey for me, as the man I thought was going to be a father to our daughter is misbehaving. He abandoned me to be with a billionaire's daughter, and they took Emily away from me by force". She thought of playing the pity card, but the stories that the head sister have heard was enough for her, not to believe any act she puts up. When they didn't respond still, she looked around her, and seeing so much gifts a
Alexander noticed how worried Ryan was all through, she knows she has to get all documents ready for them to visit the court, Ryan may have been worried that she spends times with Emily more, but the truth is that the girl is full of wisdom, and she has given her more informations than she expect to get from her, she used the gotten informations, to take the first step of visiting the mother less home, where Emily grew up. Ryan was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when she left, he was trying to bring himself as to how to tell Alexander what happened between him and Lindsay, he lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, when Alexander stepped out unnoticed, but that was also because she didn't want him to know when she left. She had already called the sisters in charge, so they were expecting her. She initially didn't tell them her aim, she just told them, she wanted to come visit the kids there with something, and they were happy to have her visit.When she got t
Ryan was glued to his phone at the house, as he lay on the couch with Alexander whom had been with him, cuddling him and not paying attention to everything Juliana was saying, she even laughed at her, at some point, especially those times she let out tears.She tries to kiss him, to get him back to a mood of wildness, and not a mood of worry, but Ryan seem lost.He could barely believe his eyes as Juliana twisted every event, painting herself as the victim, a woman scorned and reply hurt by his actions. "She left me for money and she was never pregnant, what the hell is she saying? he asked out loud, angry at the way the world seem to believe her.He clenched his fists, feeling the rage boil beneath the surface. If she were to be with him at the time, she would have forgotten the rules against hitting women and get violent with her. How could she do this to him, his thoughts raced, torn between the betrayal and the sinking realization of the public fallout. He hadn't told the world
After the other day's humiliation, Juliana couldn't take it anymore, it is now evident, that Ryan and the entire Damien family is never going to do the needful, she needed to make them do it by force, especially since Ryan still considered Emily his daughter, it goes a long way to show that he doesn't know yet, that Emily is in no way related to him. She needs to be fast with her plans before he finds out, or before Emily tells the world, where she came from.Juliana watched the card of one of the media personnel in her hand, and contemplated a little, if she should take that step. She had refused for so long, but now, taking that step, seems to be the only way to get them to come around, at least, that is what the world will be expecting from her, since what happened the other day.Juliana made that one single call, and she was immediately invited. She was promised that the outcome would wow her, and she wouldn't regret coming, she was told by the interviewer, that all she needs t
While Alexander was tired from the activities that had kept her and Ryan locked up in the house, she didn't know, Ryan was busy, planning a grand welcome party for Emily. While they were discussing what Emily had been through, they had mentioned having a small party for her, where her friends will come around and she will celebrate her new home with them, but Ryan didn't just throw a small party, it was indeed a big party.Because, As the sun bathed the garden in a warm glow, Emily and Mr Scott stepped into the family home, to a very warm reception. Alexander didn't even know about his plans, but he had all her friends from school, the house staff and even a few neighbors to welcome her. Surprisingly, he had invited her aunt and her Dad, that she hadn't seen anywhere else, other than the office.He just felt like a little celebration wouldn't hurt, since he isn't sure, if she had ever celebrated before in her entire life, especially since they have had such discussion before.The so
Too exhausted from the sweet activity of the night, they lay, curled up in bed with no one wanting to leave the other. This is exactly what Ryan wants when he sent Emily to stay with his father, and the weekend is already over, when Emily will take his wife from him again.Still enjoying the company and warmth of having each other, they heard a disturbing sound. It was a sound, from their phone, which blared into their ears, causing them to hiss angrily, but the sound came again, and they jolted awake. The sound shattered the early morning quietness. Left to Ryan, and surely Alexander, they would have stayed up in bed for hours, before getting up.Groggy and still tangled in the sheets, they exchanged a tired glance before Ryan reached over to grab his phone. The caller ID flashed Juliana. With a sigh, he showed Alexander who was calling, and she only took a moment to also see who the caller is, before entangling in his body.Juliana isn't worth their time, so she wouldn't leave h
Initially the lights were too bright in the bathroom, but Ryan made it dim, by switching on the dim light instead of the very bright one, causing the environment to give a more sensual and romantic feel, and adding vibe to the fun they were having. The sound of water cascading filled the air, as Ryan and Alexander stood beneath the hot shower, their bodies closed, breathing deep and ragged. The water streamed over them, mingling with the heat between them. If not for the stream of water pouring down on them, what they could have been seeing would have been sweat all through, because they entwined their body in a way that nothing could break.Ryan had initially planned to just enjoy the fun, but it was begining to look like they are going to enjoy more than just playing with the hot shower, that is no longer feeling so hot anymore.Ryan brushed a strand of wet hair from Alexander's face, his fingers lingering as he gazed into Alexander's eyes. Their bodies so close that they could f
