MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 64: THE VISIT
MelissaIt's been a week since Alexander's accident. The doctor informed us that he slipped into a coma and there was no time frame for when he might come out. Good news travels so slowly but bad news goes faster; the whole town of Carlton had come to know that I was the legitimate child of the Thatchers and also the legal wife of Alexander Pierce. Making my kids the children of royalty and also the children of a billionaire.Unnecessary respect was starting to be accorded to us and it was really pissing me off. I spent the first few days in the hospital beside him, telling him about the happy memories we were starting to make. How he loved me and how much he promised to never leave me and the kids again.The doctors warned us never to cry or be sad in his presence, everyone always came with happy faces and played and joked around with him. But deep down we carry a burden as heavy as a rock.“Take some time off Melissa,” Janet dragged me out of my reverie. “I'm sure the director would
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 65: ALEXANDER
AlexanderI tried reaching out, I tried speaking but nothing was happening. I heard doors opening and closing but none of them could hear me no matter how much I screamed in my head.‘Hello, hello,’ I kept saying in my head but nothing proved abortive.Just when I thought it was all over, a woman stepped in with a bunch of other people. They dropped whatever they held and hummed a beautiful song for me. It was soothing, I wanted to just stand up and appreciate them for their thoughtful gift.But wait, I had no idea what happened to me. Who was I? Why was I in bed? With all the beeping around me, I tried to remember where I was. I summoned all my strength to at least do something. Someone should be able to see me. I raised my right index finger, hoping to get attention.“Doctor Henry, it's Alexander,” I heard a woman shout. Does she know me? Who was she? Why was she here?Immediately I heard her shout, I was filled with joy knowing that what I aimed to achieve was achieved.The doors o
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 66: UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS A MARRIED MAN
Lady SeleneBree volunteered to always stay beside Alexander, the only time she left was when she needed to change or get something to eat. I made it easy for her by bringing her cooked dishes from home and she always used the private toilet in Alexander's room. Inasmuch as her obsession was something that worried me, that worried us; we were so glad that she offered to stay.Melissa couldn't stay a few minutes beside him without breaking into tears. And besides she had to go to work, fend for the kids. Even when we all begged her to take the rest of the time for herself, she wouldn't listen. She had grown lean overtime, her brain was calculating more than normal; it was working twice than normal.I walked in to see Bree taking a nap beside Alexander's bed. I stretched my neck to see him. His face was starting to be full again with his beards and mustache. A really fine man, that was who Alexander Pierce was. Maybe if I was in my youth too, I might have no choice but fall head over he
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 67: STAY AWAY FROM HIM
BreeAnother 2 weeks had rolled by like it was a day, sitting beside Alexander everyday wasn't tiring at all. Instead it made me reassured that whatever I was feeling for him wasn't lust or obsession. Melissa made sure to drop by everyday, and my respect for her during that time heightened. Combining work with taking care of the kids was daunting enough.I caressed his hand softly whispering my love to him. It's unfortunate what we feel to people, everything can't be reciprocated. I was starting to understand that.The door swung open, revealing his kids and their mother. They weren't as chatty and happy as they used to be; hell no, I don't think anyone would be.“Good morning Aunty Bree,” the three of them chorused, making their way beside me.Irrespective of how I treated them, irrespective of how I didn't give them any attention during their birthdays; they still chose to accord me with respect.“Good morning my angels, did you have a beautiful night's rest?” I said, brushing their

FrancisThe little stunt Bree pulled almost put us in trouble. How sure were we that Melissa never heard everything she was saying? And she mentioned me spilling the truth when I was drunk.‘If Melissa heard anything, she wouldn't have taken it lightly. All hell would break loose there,’ my inner self was doing a good job consoling me.Damnit, I hit the steering wheel. “How could I be so stupid? I always have issues while drinking. My mouth never seemed to close.”I kept thinking, how could I salvage this situation? Bree dares not open her mouth, she wasn't exactly a fucking saint too. She would do anything to get Alexander under her, that's why it felt so easy to blackmail her. The Thatchers' would be so disappointed knowing whatever she did.I dialed that number again, he still wanted me to finish Alexander off. Whatever business he had with Alexander wasn't something I should concern myself with. I needed her and I needed that money.The line clicked, I had no idea when. My thought
MARRIED TO ALEXANDER PIERCE CHAPTER 1: A BIG MISTAKE
MelissaThe day had barely begun and I could feel my entire body succumb to its tiredness. My eyes felt like they had suddenly become lead and my legs wobbled badly, I desperately needed a good rest.Just like every other night, I had spent the entire last night in the school library again, trying to catch up with the term's work, forgetting that I worked a morning shift at the local eatery."Melissa, we have an order at table 10 and table 23," the voice of the manager dragged me out of my reverie."I'm on it," my voice scratched, failing to go higher than it was. I stretched my limbs and they felt like they had weighed more pounds overnight. I grabbed the tray housing the cups of coffee and walked into the main restaurant."Here you go," my smile came so faintly that you could barely notice it. I dropped the first order at table 10 and walked towards the next table. As I neared table 23, a customer in a hurry bumped into me from behind, causing me to spill the coffee on the very fine

AlexanderImmediately we arrived at the office, I turned towards the receptionist. "Get me Damien, have him come to my office immediately.""Yes sir," she stood up and scurried away to Damien's office.Felix held my bags and walked into my office.He bowed. "Sir Alex, I would like to apologize on behalf of the lady's behavior. If I had stopped her in time, things wouldn't have happened the way it happened.""You don't have to worry Felix, I'll make sure she's punished. You can leave now."He faced the door in time, about to go out."What was her name again? I didn't quite catch it.""Melissa," Felix replied."You can leave," I dismissed him again and repeated the name to myself, smiling. "Melissa. Such a feisty one, I promise to clip those wings of yours."My mind traveled back to what happened in the restaurant, truth be told, she wasn't at fault. I saw it all but the words had left my mouth before I could refrain from saying them.Her response made me repeat the same word. I wanted

Melissa"Never, I'll never marry him. I'd rather die than find myself spending forever with someone like him," I cried for the 100th time. My father wasn't listening to me, he came home that night announcing my marriage to the last person I ever thought of.I had dreamed of fantasy, happily ever after. Irrespective of how old I was, I still had the stature of a 20 year old kid. I always believed that one day my prince charming would come and sweep me off my feet.I couldn't believe I was keeping myself for him, I was going to be married to the bastard I had hassled with in the morning."Father please," I lowered myself on my knees, begging him, because I knew my life depended on it. "Don't do this, my whole life will be halted. I'm in my final year in school, let me finish in grand style, please.""Unfortunately Melissa, there's nothing I can do for you. Your fate has been sealed. Tomorrow you get married to the billionaire, Alexander Pierce," he said deadpan and walked out of the roo
