A Coincidental Marriage 7
"What am I going to do, and why are my parents here?" My legs were frozen in place. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll just make up an excuse and leave from here. It should be better that way.I have to leave from here before they see me. Until I heard my sister's voice, my legs seemed to have a mind of their own as they stayed rooted in their place."Alexander, it's so nice to meet you. I can't believe you are right in front of me," she said in her annoying, high-pitched voice.He just gave her a slight nod and didn't say a word to her. Not that I'm jealous, it's far from that, just happy that he didn't give her the attention he wanted."I'm glad you're here, Mr. Williams. You are just in time to meet my son's beautiful wife," Mr. Romano said in a confident voice. I leaned against the wall, trying to figure out what to do. I can't meet my parents; they don't even know that we are married, not that they would care, but I just can't.My dad looked at Charlotte, who had a fake smil

"You are not alone, Mrs. Romano," I'm just saying it again in case you didn't hear me.I wiped my tears and took in a deep breath, turning to face him. "Are you spying on me?"He chuckled and shook his head. "Why in the world would I spy on my wife? That's ridiculous," he said in a casual tone."I don't know, you tell me," I shrugged my shoulders. His eyes landed on my bag, and I knew he was going to ask me about it."I don't mean to meddle in your business, but where are you going to stay, and most importantly, why did they allow you to leave the house late at night? I think it would have been better if they let you leave in the morning."I averted my gaze from him. "It's nothing, and I have a place I'm going to," I said rather confidently."Is that so? Well, I don't mind dropping you wherever it is you are going.""No, I will be fine on my own," I said in a stern tone.He nodded and opened his car door. "Okay, if you say so. Sadly, I have to go. I have to attend this important dinne

"Good night," he placed a kiss on my temple and left the room. I smiled as I watched him leave."Ughh, my head hurts a lot. I'm never getting drunk again," I said as my feet made contact with the floor."I hope you plan on sticking to your words," he said as he walked in, dressed in casual clothes. Isn't he supposed to be at work or something?"What are you doing here?"He chuckled, "Good morning, Alexandria." He handed me a painkiller and a glass of water, "it will help with your headache."I took the painkiller from him and threw it into my mouth as I got the glass from him and drank the water."I need to freshen up," I told him as I stood up and walked into the bathroom before he could reply. Once I was done, I changed my attire and put my hair into a messy bun. I took in a deep breath as I held the doorknob and opened the door."You need to have your breakfast?" he said as he looked up from his phone."I don't feel like eating," but my stomach had to betray me.He raised his eyebr

"Well, nice to meet you, Miss whatever you are, but will you please calm down and stop yelling?" I glanced at Gina, who just shrugged her shoulders.She walked towards me, her green orbs glaring at me, "Who the hell are you?"I maintained my posture. I won't let her intimidate me. "I should be asking you that?""I'm Alexander's fiancée, honey." She showed me her engagement ring. "We are getting married, so you better get the hell out of here before I make you.""His fiancée, you say? Wow, that's interesting." I raised my hand, flashing my wedding ring at her so she could get a proper look at it. I'm so lucky I put it on today, or else. "You see this ring? We got married. He put this ring on me, and it wasn't by force, honey. So get out of my house."She looked at my hand in disbelief, "You are the slut he got married to instead of me!" she yelled, "That is my ring!" she yelled hysterically.I shook my head, "Correction, was your ring, but not anymore. He's my husband now."She harshly

"Thank you for shopping at Crystal boutique, and please do come back next time," I told her with a smile on my face.She returned the smile as she took the shopping and gave it to her bodyguard, "thank you. I will surely come back. I'm Clara, by the way.""I'm Alexandria, nice to meet you."She whispered something to her bodyguard and turned her attention to me, "Well, Alexandria, it was nice meeting you. Sadly, I have to get going. I will see you next time I come here."Today must be my lucky day. It is not every day you get to meet such a kind customer. I'm so tired; I can't wait to get home and take a long, relaxing bath because I need one. My body needs it and a body massage."Heyy, Ria, how was your day?" she yelled as she popped out of wherever she was."Stella," I groaned, "you don't have to be so loud, girl. Geez, are you trying to make me deaf?" I whined as I looked at her green eyes.She giggled and sat on the counter, "Oh, I'm sorry, Ria. I didn't mean to be so loud, but th

I dried my hair as I got out of my bathroom. Once I was done, I changed into something more comfortable and relaxing."How was work?" Gina asked me as I walked into the kitchen.I sat down, "It was stressful, tiring, every horrible word you can imagine."She chuckled and handed me a cup of coffee, "Here, have some coffee," she suggested."No, I don't like coffee. Can you please make some hot chocolate, please?"She smiled, a genuine smile on her face, "As you wish, Mrs. Romano," she said, earning a glare from me."Heyyyy, I thought we agreed you wouldn't call me that," I said in a stern tone.We were both lost in our own worlds, laughing and telling each other funny stories and embarrassing ones, but it was ruined when someone cleared their throat."Elena? What is she doing here? Because Alexander is not here.""You, why are you here? Where's Alexander?" she asked in a demanding tone.Is she talking to me? Because I don't think she's talking to me. If she is, there's no need to talk t

"I'm so glad the day is finally over," I told my workmate, Stella, as I changed into my clothes."Same here, girl! Can we grab some smoothies or ice cream before we go our separate ways?" she said, giving me her puppy dog eyes."Okayyy, let's go, but let's hurry up cause I have plans, and I can't afford to be late."She squealed in excitement and grabbed my hand."Stella, calm down!" I yelled, hoping I would get her attention.She slowed down and turned to me, "What flavor would you like, sweetheart?"I shook my head, "Vanilla is okay for me."She looked at me in disbelief, "Girl, you just want vanilla? Just vanilla? Argh, you are so boring."I sat down as I waited for her to come back with the ice cream. Can't I come up with an excuse to avoid this? I don't like such events."Here's your boring ice cream," she handed me my vanilla ice cream."Thank you, drama queen," I said, earning a glare.We talked and had fun a bit, and the moment that I was hoping to escape from came sooner than

I let out a yawn as I changed into my working attire. It seems Alexander is still upset with me because he hasn't said a word. It's been two days now, but mostly I think it's because he went out on a supposed business trip. I can't say he's lying because I don't know anything about his schedule."Alexandria, can you go check on the customer who just walked in? I really need to pick up this call, it's an emergency," she looked at me, waiting for a reply."Okay, sure," I said softly and left the room to go attend to the customer. Time for me to start smiling."Welcome to Crystal's Boutique," I said with a huge smile on my face. He turned, showing me his perfect smile."Alexandria, I didn't expect to find you here," he said in his husky Spanish accent. Today he was in casual attire, and he really looked handsome."I work here," I told him as I glanced around the place to avoid his intense gaze.His phone rang, ending the awkward silence between us. He picked it up, his eyes on me, "I wil
