Serenity explained everything to Logan as well as the contractor and walked back to her apartment to take a shower and have lunch. She went up to the second floor and unlocked the door. She went inside and locked the door after her.
"Where did you leave that boyfriend of yours?" Growled Alexander's voice. Was she dreaming or was it really Alexander's voice? She pinched herself and winced in pain. Looking around she stood shocked seeing an angry Alexander sitting on her sofa right in front of her.
"Lex? How did you get in?" She asked, puzzled. She still couldn't believe that it really was Alexander standing inside her apartment. How did he get in? Did he live in San Francisco? Her mind went into overdrive as a million questions erupted in her head.
"With the duplicate keys. You didn't answer my question?" He sa
Serenity glared at Alexander who scratched his head with a goofy grin on his face. He looked a little guilty though. Logan on the other hand grinned with relief."So, this is the Alexander that you'd been pining away for?" Asked Logan with a grin."Shhh," said Serenity, blushing furiously as Alexander raised an eyebrow curiously, listening to their conversation."I'm relieved that I'm alive to marry my Jenna at the end of the month," he confessed and Carla inspected his wounds."Let's get you fixed up before Jenna's video call or else she'll blast me," she said, pulling him along with her to fix his wounds. The moment they left Serenity turned towards Alexander."What were you up to, mister?" She glared at h
Serenity was very eager to go back to her apartment. She returned by 4 o'clock in the afternoon and unlocked the door and went inside. Alexander was roaming around in just a pair of sweatpants, riding low. He might have brought more clothes to change into."When did you return?" She asked him, disposing of her jacket."Ten minutes back," he said, coming closer and pulling her into his arms. He nuzzled his face into her neck. "I missed you, Serena." He whispered into her neck, sucking and kissing her neck. She arched her neck giving him more access. She held him tenderly, her fingers weaving and massaging through his hair. He groaned and kissed her more."I missed you too, Lex, " she confessed and he just picked her up and carried her to the bed. She was so addictive that all he thought the whole da
Serenity paid the cab driver and trudged up to the backside of her mansion. It was 9 o'clock at night and her family might have just completed their dinner. Her appetite was gone and she didn't have any wish to face anyone at the moment. Still, she had to inform her parents of her arrival, so she reluctantly walked into the main building, straight to the dining room."Oh, sweetie, you've come back? Sit and have dinner with us, " said her mom, coming forward and hugging her."No, mom. I ate on the flight," she lied. She just needed the privacy of her room."Are you okay? Is your work in San Francisco done or do you need to go back?" Asked her dad."Done, dad. Can we talk tomorrow, please? I'm too tired," she said and everyone stared at her.
Liam returned home from college and decided to call Alexander and demand an explanation first before leaving for his work. He entered his bedroom and closed his door.He dialed Alexander's number and waited for him to pick up the call. After five calls, when he still didn't pick up his phone, Liam gave up and got ready for work. He was already late so he left within fifteen minutes. The rest of the day Liam was too busy with work and everything else escaped from his mind. He returned home dead tired at dinnertime. At the dinner table, a fresher-looking Serenity was sitting down, having her dinner. His dad looked happy and his mom looked very excited."Am I missing something?" He asked everyone."We just informed Harry about Serenity's decision. They're coming over tomorrow evening for the engagemen
The next morning a more exhausted Serenity was pampered with a relaxing beauty bath before getting her ready for her wedding. She closed her eyes and allowed Kathy to do as she pleased. She wasn't interested to see how she looked. Dreams that she shared with Alexander regarding their perfect wedding day played on her mind and fresh tears appeared in her eyes."Don't cry, sweetie. You can always come and stay with your parents. I'm about to do your makeup. It'll be ruined," Kathy said, wiping her tears lovingly.Her mom came into the room and looked at her. She hugged her to her chest. "Every woman gets married and lives with her husband, sweetie. It's nature's way. You can always come home to us, visit us but we'll be happy to know that you're happy with your husband," she explained to her.Serenity nodd
Sandra helped her calm down with a clear lemony soup. She felt drowsy and dozed off to sleep. Sandra quietly left the room and called Laurence to inform him.Serenity woke up feeling much better. It was late afternoon and Serenity couldn't believe that she had slept for so long. Sandra came to check up on her after fifteen minutes."Feeling better?" She asked and Serenity nodded at her. "Can you go downstairs to eat or should I bring something for you here?" She asked with concern."My head's spinning. I don't think I can go down, " she said, apologetically. Her new family might find her behavior a little odd but she couldn't possibly go downstairs in this condition."No problem, Serenity. I'll get you something to eat, " she said with a smile.
Alexander at last felt relieved. The whole of last week had been a nightmare for him. He boarded his flight from New York back to San Francisco. On his way to the airport, he had bought for himself a new mobile after his last one fell from his hands and broke down. He didn't get time the whole week to do anything but look after his depressed sister, Paige. Paige, who was three years younger than him, was Mark Orbitz's daughter. Alexander loved her like his own little sister.So when she and her husband Brandon Crosby left their home in San Francisco after a fight with Brandon's parents, Alexander sheltered them in his home on Clay Street. Paige was pregnant with twins and was prescribed bed rest due to complications from her pregnancy. They both were worried and very stressed so Alexander gave them their privacy. Although he wanted to take Serenity home, he couldn't. He didn't wish to disturb Paige a
"Alex stop, I beg of you," Lucas shouted, his voice gone hoarse from the constant yelling at Alexander to stop."Stop, I love you, Alex. I won't let you do this," cried Lucas, running as fast as his legs could carry him. He knew that he was no match against Alexander's strength but still he blindly plunged into the ocean to save his friend.Alexander didn't listen to a word Lucas said. He had lost the will to live. He didn't have anyone to live for. The ocean beckoned him and he wanted to embrace it and unite with his parents in heaven. He wanted to ask them why they brought him into this world? To live like a piece of trash, unloved and uncared for?Colton along with Grant from the surf school along with two lifeguards patrolling the area rushed to rescue Alexander. They saw Lucas trying to swim after A
