"How long are we going to wait like this?" Catherine retorted. She cringed at the man before her. It was Ernest Brown, her father's lawyer. He was determined not to do the will reading unless Alexandra was present there as well.
She was biting her nail out of frustration. She didn't want to see that bastard's face. She wished that impudent child was already rotting under the sods.
"Mother, calm down, It's not healthy for you to be angry like this." Anasthasia tried to calm her mother.
"I know my sweet but I can't help it. just mentioning that bastard child makes my blood boil"
Ernest Brown wanted to scowl at the mother-daughter pair. Just looking at them made him feel disgusted to the core. Alexandra was an unlucky child to have such
"You can start counting your days on earth because soon you will be the victims of my wrath and I will be taking my revenge limb by limb" The grin grew wider.Catherine understood that the wider the grin the more menacing she gets. Anastasia was shivering and was gripping tightly on her mother's arm digging her nail into her skin.Both of them looked as if they had witnessed something terrifying. They witnessed the unforgivable sins they had committed. Catherine was trying hard to stand on her feet.Ernest Brown was amused by their state. They looked like two sheep who got stuck in a wolf's den. More like snakes. They were nothing but two power-hungry pythons! Both of them were beyond petrified to say anything."And yes, Miss Alexandra is now the owner of the Winchester villa," Informed Ernest Brown. Catherin
"Welcome back young miss!"The servants welcomed her with a heartwarming smile on their faces. Most of them have served the three generations of the Winchester household. Her grandfather, mother and now her. The happiest was Aunt Margretta she was glad that her sunshine had finally returned bestowing her radiance in the house. Alexandra was too happy seeing this welcome."I missed you all," She said with a teary smile."We missed you too, "Said Aunt Margretta. Alexandra hugged her."I am sorry I left without even saying goodbye" She apologised feeling guilty for running away leaving them behind. They had a large portion in her upbringing and among them, Aunt Margretta was the mother in her eyes.
The moment Alexandra entered her room she was very surprised. She could not spot a single change. Everything inside the room was still the same as she remembered it to be.The wall paintings she had painted splattered colour to the room. The room was large and spacious and the walls were covered in various vibrant patterned walls which she had made in her leisure time four years ago.She loved art with her heart and soul, it was a way of expressing her untamed and indescribable emotions more vividly to the world. The room wasn't transparent as of that in America but it did not make her feel suffocated, cramped or caged. It was her haven.She got changed into a new set of comfy pyjamas in the closet. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand and she picked it up hoping it was Halton but frowned seeing who it was.She ignored it but again the phone buzzed. She ignored it like six times and still the phone buzzed again not giving her peace. She ga
Alexandra peeled open her eyes in panic and was panting heavily with beads of cold sweats on her forehead. She looked at the clock and it was midnight, and she was already woken up from her slumber by the horrid dream. She hurriedly wiped the sweat.She was sure she will not sleep anytime sooner, so she decided to take a walk. The cold and utter silence in the humongous villa was making her feel lonely as if she was the last human being on earth.A sudden craving for alcohol ran through her. Though a little hesitant, she opened the large storage room where the collection of red wine was kept safely.Large barrels of old wine was kept as treasure. The old man was always fond of red wine and she inherited that fondness towards wine from him.
Halton opened the door for the affluent woman inside the car.Everyone was in awe seeing the beautiful woman step out of the Red Bugatti. She was wearing a formal white shirt along with the knee-length black pencil skirt suitable for an executive meeting.Her seductive red-tinted lips curved into an unreadable smile. Her black shades made her look unapproachable yet classy. Her raven black hair was let loose, dancing side to side with the wind.She looked at the tall building with admiration. The Lion stood prideful as ever in platinum. Royal Steel a multinational company that had set foot in every field.Tech companies to Automobiles, Gaming to Jewellery companies. Its fierce roar could be heard in every corner of the vast business world. The king of the Jungle.She took her steps toward the Building. Her hands tucked in her pockets and her coat hung around her shoulders like a cape made her look majestic.&n
Steve was releasing cold sweats seeing his boss working vigorously on the Macbook. He was afraid he would lose his Job anytime sooner because his boss was getting irrational and cranky these days. Presumably because of less sleep, the dark circles under his eyes were the evidence. He was depriving his sleep after being rejected by a woman. The only woman in the world he wanted to have by his side. He had bought this upon himself."Did you gather the information about her?" Jonathan asked. His cold aura hung in the air like the artic gust."Yes," Steve replied. He prepared himself by letting himself take a deep breath. He could not afford to stumble."Speak.""Alexandra Winchester born on 2nd May 1997 turned 24 this year.No preschool and middle school records, she was homeschooled till the age of 13 but she was graduated from the top University in the UK.She majored in Business and Finance. Although a business majo
"I would like to meet up with all of the head of the departments, list the one that is new and yes, bring all their private details," Alexandra said looking at the paperwork in the hand. Her brows knitted into a frown.There is no way the stocks must have declined significantly like this...Unless someone had fiddled with the financial reports. The cash flow of Royal Steel had always been stable. There were strict regulations on the data collected, but now all that seemed to be thrown off the window."Yes, Mam" Secretary Warren excused herself.Halton stood there with a puzzled look on his face. "Why would you need all of these details?"Alexandra rolled her eyes. "You don't understand do you?" Halton shook his head in a no."There is a possible chance that my DEAR mother has implanted some spies in here. I will find out all of them and throw them out before they get in my way."She stated calmly. Halton couldn't figure out what was goi
Before entering the conference room Alexandra pulled Halton closer to her and whispered something. Halton looked baffled at first then nodded and left.The people present in the conference room held their breath, they looked a bit tensed and some were curious who is going to their boss.Except for secretary Warren, no one was informed who their boss was, and assumed they would be greeting Anastasia Roberts.With a charming smile, she entered."Greetings ladies and gentlemen"There was pin-drop silence in the room. One, in particular, looked as if he was seeing a ghost. Alexandra turned her head towards James Wilson, her sharp feline eyes ridiculed at the man's state.'Look at this baffled Buffon.' He rubbled his tensed receding forehead and gulped. He turned to the person next to him to avoid her piercing stare."What is this? I was hoping for a warm greeting but all of
