"I am fine, you don't have to worry," Rosalie drew out and pulled the door open. "You should go mum, don't worry about me.""Rosalie," Pamela shook her head and sighed. She wasn't close to her daughter anymore and she could only watch."Bye," Rosalie stated and Pamela finally walked out."Take care of yourself," Pamela said and Rosalie nodded. She watched her mum go down the lift before she shut the door. At once, she flopped to the sofa.Oh heavens. She was tired. Alexander's words kept re-echoing in her head. He… he didn't deny the fact that he was going to get engaged to Sophia.She sniffed and reached for her phone. She wanted to ask questions. She wanted to know what was going on. Her hands impulsively kept clicking on the phone as her thoughts ate her deep.Why was he getting engaged to Sophia? She thought they had something. He cherished and cared for her, what was going on?Perhaps because Sophia was his class. She was lesser than his status. He definitely should cherish Sophi
"Xander," Rosalie gasped and gripped his shirt tightly. Her hands went into his hair dishevelling it even more as both their tongues fought for dominance.She let out a sensual cry as Alexander's hand drove into the attire she was in. His fingers trailed on her flawless back skin and Rosalie gasped."I love your skin," Alexander breathed and tongued her face. "Everything about you seems to drive me crazy."It was the truth he knew long ago. Back then when she was new to his office, he admired her face, her eyes. All the things about her were gorgeously made."Really —" Rosalie breathed and grabbed his face. Her hand grabbed his jaw and she kissed it, "Really?" She sniffed back her cry and smiled. "I'm attracted to you sir," it was an impulsive let out of feelings and Alexander chortled."Let's admire even more," a smirk curled on his lips and in a minute, the top she was in was off and on the floor."Sir," Rosalie inhaled as her cheeks heated up. Her feet labored to maintain their sta
Rosalie bit her lip severely. Staring out through the window, she sighed. Oh goodness. After she left his place yesterday, she wasn't herself.It felt like she made a wrong decision but what could she do? She couldn't stay. They were supposed to be together but he was engaged to a woman she was envious of.A woman that was better than her. No matter how hard Rosalie tried to shake off the feeling, she couldn't. It was something she knew. She stood no chance against Sophia.Sophia was far better than her.Now in a tank top with jacket and factory pants, she reached for her purse. It was Monday and it meant she had to work.Heaven knows the thing on her mind was resigning. But she clearly remembered he paid her ahead. She had used the money to solve all of her issues.She sniffed and ran her hands through her hair. He wanted her to stay. If he desired her, why was he with Sophia? Was she missing something?She breathed out and grabbed her handbag. Maybe when she reached the office.She
Alexander drummed repeatedly on his attire. "I hate you!" Her voice reverberated in his ear even though it's been one hour she left.She shouldn't. He couldn't take it. He took a deep breath and shut his eyes. She was the only one who his heart wanted out of the multitudes. She shouldn't hate him.He felt the need to hold her close. But he couldn't. The forces pushing him away from her were greater than the forces that bound them together.But maybe he could break it. He was going insane knowing she hated him. He stood to his feet at once. He had to talk to her.She shouldn't hate him. That would be the biggest thing that'd break him.He trotted out of the office at once. Seeing her was what he wanted. She was the one his heart yearned for. He reached his car and got in. He needed to rest his orbs on her.The drive to her apartment was a fast one. He parked in the parking lot and just as he made to step down, he paused at the image that got off the stairs.His brows creased and he bli
Weeks of anger and restraint had passed for both Alexander and Rosalie. On Alexander's side, the family was planning the wedding for Sophia and him.On Rosalie's side, it was gruesome to watch the man he loved with another lady. Sophia never failed to taunt her.It was Sophia's thinking she was going to make Rosalie jealous until she left Alexander and then she will make her pay.But it was another case for Rosalie, she was starting to find out there was an issue for Alexander. Alexander was colder to her but it never bothered her.He'd be warm when he let his guards down.They were in the office since it was Monday, the beginning of a new week. Rosalie sucked in her cheeks as she walked to Alexander's office. She had just gone to get the files from the MD office and she paid blind eyes to the looks on both the assistants and the MD himself.She cared less. She took deep breaths when she sighted Alexander's door. She was sacrificing her ego and self respect because she loved him. And
Rosalie paused. She stood unblinking as her brain processed what she heard. He was sorry."I…" Alexander brushed his hair and tugged on it. He stood from the sofa and walked to her. He grabbed her to himself and pulled her into his warm embrace.Both relaxed into comfort. Rosalie gripped her boss' t-shirt tighter than she had ever done. He came back to her? And apologized? It felt surreal."I'm sorry" Alexander whispered and threaded his hand through her scalp. "I'm sorry" he reiterated. He took his lips to her hair, taking in the scent of her shampoo."I missed you," Rosalie whispered with her hands wrapped firmly around Alexander. "So much Xander and I'm glad you came.""It's okay" Alexander whispered and broke the hug. "I'm here now, I won't leave" he added and pulled her to the sofa.They settled on it and both leaned into each other for warmth. Silence reigned as Rosalie wallowed in her thoughts.He came; with packaged flowers in his hold. What made him change his mind? Was it be
It was love making to the duo. Alexander held her close and kneaded the part he placed his hands on. He massaged her body to help with her soreness.Time went by as they laid beside each other. Rosalie relaxed into his hold. It was still unbelievable he was that close to her. She placed her head on his chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat.She wanted to ask questions; to know about why he was away and cold to her but she couldn't — she didn't want him to leave."Rosie," Alexander raised her head to his with brows raised. "Where did you slip into, I asked a question."Huh? Rosalie licked her lips and sat up on the sofa. "I…I was just happy you aren't cold anymore and at the same time—" she licked her lips and sniffed."I'm scared you might go back into your shell. I wouldn't be able to take it if you do. It was heartbreaking for me" she cried and he exhaled."It's okay," Alexander pulled her to himself and brushed her nose with his. "I won't" he whispered more like a promise.I
Alexander's POVI rested in the backseat and took deep breaths. It had to be done because it was necessary. I couldn't go further anymore.And what if the family gets angry?They were bound to be. I tried a lot. From childhood, teenage life, I buried my passion for them. I did what I could but not losing Rosalie. A decision I made. First, I had to break it to Sophia.I grabbed my phone and I sighted the ring. Her family got it so I might just need to give it back. "Alex, oh my god, you're calling," her squeal filled my ears and the lines of my lips etched into a frown."Let's meet at Delightfoods" I muttered and again, her squeal erupted."You're asking me on a date? Oh my god, I'm so excited. When Alex?""In ten minutes times" I breathed out and ended the call. Running my hands through my hair, I scowled.I wasn't supposed to go on with the engagement. Now that the media knew about it, it was certain Sophia wouldn't back down without a fight.I sighed. Our relationship might just be
