Katherine glanced at Alexander who had lifted a wine glass and was sipping it now, she blinked and glanced around to see all attention turned to Alexander.She scoffed. I am dressed in this pretty dress, but he has to draw all the attention to himself! She pouts.Katherine shook the thoughts off her head, she was getting jealous of a man right now. Then again, they have all right to stare at him, at least it's the first time anyone was seeing him."I didn't know you would look like this, I wouldn't have wasted all my energy worrying about what you look like or asking Robin to take the risk of finding out more about you." She mumbled to herself and turned around only to come face to face with Rita and Jonas who had come to her."Mr. Jonas…" Her lips parted and she blinked, then her eyes fell on the angry face of Rita."You must be happy," Rita gritted her teeth. "Your new husband is nothing like we have pictured." She glanced over Katherine's shoulder to Alexander who was being approac
Jane Swift walked over to Alexander who was standing next to the reception table with a glass of wine in his hand, he slowly sipped it."Hi, son," Jane said softly as if she was introducing herself for the first time to her child.Alexander turned his eyes at her, his expression indifferent and unreadable. "Mrs. Swift." That was the only thing he has known to call her, calling her mother sounded strange to him.Jane closed her eyes momentarily and let out a soft sigh, his words were distant, how he had called her name sounded like how her business partners called her.She forced a smile and looked at him. "How do you like your wife?" She asked him, she had noticed his lack of interest in her all through the wedding but still wanted to hear his opinion.Alexander glanced down at the bottom of the glass. "You chose her as my bride," he raised his cold gaze to meet hers. "Do I have to like her?" His lips moved and she felt the coldness emanating from him.A shiver ran down her spine, she
Katherine pulled Celeb with her out of the rooftop door and they were both startled by the guard who they saw standing next to the door."Jeez, I almost had a heart attack!" Celeb held his chest and looked at the guard who stood there, Jerry's eyes swept from his and got to Katherine, he slowly lowered his head to her in respect.Katherine drew a sharp breath, she knew there was no way she would ever get used to this. "Come on, Celeb, let's go." She told him and hastened away.Celeb glanced over his shoulder at Jerry who still stood at the door. "Does he always have a guard next to him?" Celeb didn't resist asking.Katherine shrugged. "I am meeting him for the first time today, I know nothing about him, so I can't answer that question." She pressed her lips together.What bothered her was not the guard next to Alexander, but the high cold wall he had built around him. She doubted she was ever going to break that wall, although today is just day one of meeting him."Also, what was that
Katherine and Alexander said their goodbyes to guests and well-wishers who had come to the reception and the door of a Limousine was opened by Jerry.Katherine glanced over her shoulder at Celeb, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas who happened to be the only familiar faces she knew.Rita still had that glare in her eyes, but Jonas had an apology expression, while Celeb looked so sad.Katherine exhaled softly, they were just people she met a few days ago, she pressed her lips together and turned around, there was no point dwelling her thoughts on them, they were indeed the reason she was entangled in this marriage.Her gaze met Mr. Swift's gaze and his words from the last dance played on in her mind, she looked away from him, but then she felt a sharp gaze on her, she raised her eyes to see Jane Swift staring right at her.Her heart almost contracted, but she looked away immediately and got into the limousine where Alexander was already seated, he had no one to say goodbye to, all their faces were str
Katherine stepped off the plane in Paris with Alexander, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. She watched him walk ahead of her, his long legs covered with black trousers.His expression hardened and he barely glanced at her or anyone, stoic and cold, he walked into the car not caring about her feelings.Katherine joined him in the car's backseat and Jerry got into the passenger seat, the car left the airport heading to their destination, and silence filled the air.Katherine turned her eyes to take a peek at Alexander, but he was staring out of the window in silence.She had always dreamed of a romantic honeymoon, filled with passion and love, but this was far from it, she drew a sharp breath.What's the point of trying to make a conversation with him when I will still get ignored?She decided not to try anymore, rather she turned her eyes and stared out of the window, her eyes fixed on all the tall buildings they drove past, Paris was indeed beautiful.She closed he
The director blinked as he heard Alexander's question and a sly smile spread over his lips. "Yes, one that is perfectly meant for you and your beautiful wife." He pointed at Katherine.Alexander's eyes swept over Katherine, he shut his eyes and pressed the space between his brows, he was fed up with all the talks."You may leave now." He told the Director.The Director glanced at Katherine and then at Alexander and a broad smile spread over his lips. "I guess you can't wait to do it." He grinned and Katherine's eyes dilated, but with one cold look from Alexander, the Director shut his lips."You should leave now," Jerry told the Director who lowered his head."I will go prepare breakfast for you both." He told them and walked away, then Alexander turned to Jerry."You should leave the room too, it's been a long hour on the plane. We should catch the least amount of sleep we could, am I wrong?" He told him."Sure, I won't invade your privacy." Jerry lowered his head and turned to leave
Katherine was still admiring him, he was too handsome and this was the first time she was able to stare at him closely like this for a very long time.Her lips were slowly pressed together and she swallowed hard, but then again, her eyes raised to his lips and she saw them move."What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled at her and she snapped out of her thoughts immediately and stepped back."I...I…" She searched for the right words, his words had made her tremble, intact, she was at the loss of words now since she was on the wrong side and couldn't explain herself.How can she tell him that she wanted to know if he was still showering before taking off her clothes and changing into her pajamas, then going to bed and faking sleeping?She lowered her gaze and bit her lower lips, unable to explain herself, and Alexander could only scoff, concluding; she was spying on him."Are you a pervert?" He asked, his eyes dark and his words made her raise her head."How will you say that?" She did
Mr. Swift kissed Jane on the forehead as he stared at her sleepy face, they had been in bed after an hour of erotic moments.She slowly opened her eyes and turned to his face, her lips turned up slowly. "You are still awake?" She asked softly.Swift took her hand and kissed the back of her palm. "I can't fall asleep when I have a beauty lying next to me." He looked into her eyes.Her face turned crimson. "Honey, you make me feel like a child again, stop it." She adjusted on the pillow.Swift shook his head. "You are becoming more pretty, I have missed you so much." He leaned close and kissed her lips, it's been a few years since he cuddled his wife like this.He missed her deeply, always occupied with work, signing documents, and traveling to different countries for business, and to make ends meet.Jane stared at his handsome face, although there was grey hair on his hair and beard, he still looked more handsome than any man she would behold.Honestly, Alexander has taken his parent's
