The Greens company stood tall in the middle of the city. Cars passed by continuously without a break as well as people
Everybody in the company looked busy and occupied. No one daring to make a mistake
Employees were paid with the maximum amount of salary to their satisfaction, so the little mistake you make, you get fired without a second thought
In the conference room of about forty people, Alexander sat with a serious face. Listening to and assigning other tasks for most of the entrepreneurs present
Alexander is the CEO of Greens company. Having under his command is about ten different companies and businesses
Getting the chance to work with Alexander is every business entrepreneur’s dream in this city. One could easily make enough money by joining hands with the Greens company or working under them
After the meeting was over, Alex left the conference room with his assistant and went back to his office. He looked very exhausted, but he still opened his laptop and went through some business advertisements
His assistant looked at him with worry. His boss haven't had even a nap since yesterday all in the name of work
He didn't even show up for his own wedding. And he didn't give a damn about it
After going through all the advertisements, Alex took off his suit and took a rest finally. But it didn't last long as his assistant had expected
"Ask Vanessa to see me" Alex ordered his assistant in a more stable tone. He looked like the few minutes rest he had taken was enough to keep him going for the rest of the day
Few munities after his assistant left, the door swung open after a knock and Vanessa walked in with a wide grin covering her face
Alex always felt satisfied to see his sister. She's his second in command, and very capable also
"What's going on in my dear brother's mind huh?" Vanessa occupied the seat across Alex's desk and asked softly
"How did the wedding go yesterday?" Alex replied Vanessa with his own question
"Normal. I just can't stop hating that idiot. She's already getting on my nerves" Vanessa replied with a frown
"I know. We attended the same college once, and I never liked her. She's very ugly too. I still can't believe I've married such a prostitute just because of revenge" Alex sighed out with dissatisfaction
"But its still worth it at the end. You don't need to see her as your wife if you don't want to. We just have to go on with the plan and nothing changes. You'll divorce her after six months right?"
"Yeah. I just wish today was the day, so that I could just divorce her right away" Alex frowned deeply after saying this
Seeing so much hatred in her brother's eyes for Lucy, Vanessa smiled slyly to herself. There's no way she's ever going to allow her brother have any pity for that new wife of his
No matter what happens, they'll complete their revenge on the White family within the next six months and leave Lucy on the streets as planned
......
Lucy opened the door to her room and clapped as she stepped in
Dennisa and Lora looked shocked. They glanced over at the things they had packed on the bed and exchanged looks worriedly
"Such a nice drama ongoing. I think it'll be nice to inform the Green family who the eldest daughter of our family is. Or what do you think, mom?" Lucy asked with a faint smile
She has been entertaining these two people all her life. But not anymore
At first she wondered why she was addressed as the elder daughter of the family during the wedding yesterday, but now she finally understand
It was Lora they had intended getting married to, but she was rather the one forced into this marriage
Which means something is definitely not right somewhere
"You won't do any such thing Lucy. You're already their daughter in law. And that's it" Dennisa stepped closer to Lucy and warned sternly
"hah.." Lucy chuckled and walked to Lora's side. She stood beside her with their shoulders in line and spoke calmly "I'm not as stupid as Lora mom. I know what to do. And no one can stop me"
"What are you trying to say?" Lora turned to look at Lucy and asked anxiously
"I know you want the son of the Green family, and he's mine now. Why don't you tell mom that you love that guy and wish you were his wife instead? Why don't you tell her the kind of nasty things you did back at college just to crawl into his bed...?"
"Lucy!.." Lora glared fiercely at Lucy trembling vigorously
She took a glance at her mom hesitantly. When she saw the surprise look on her face, she rushed to her side and took her hand gently "don't pay any attention to all that Lucy just said mom. You know I can't do all that. You trust me right"
Dennisa didn't say anything. She just slowly let go of Lora's hand and stepped closer to Lucy. Then without wasting another second, she gave Lucy the tightest slap of her life ever
The slap echoed in the room and all the way down to the hall. Aaron felt tempted to find out what was going on and slowly headed upstairs
"Mom..." Lucy held onto her slapped cheek and murmured
"Who the hell do you think you are woman? Get yourself and your filthy stuffs out of my house this minute!" Dennisa yelled at Lucy with her index finger pointed at the door
Lucy squinted her eyes angrily without any word. After grabbing whatever she needed, she gave her mom and sister one last fierce glare and strode out of the room
Not knowing Aaron was just at the door, she bumped into him and got caught in his arms as the things in her hand slipped out flying in the air
After a short silence, Aaron let go of her and helped her to stand well "Sorry"
"Amm..yeah.." Lucy felt a little embarrassed
She quickly gathered up the things and left first leaving Aaron behind as Lora and Dennisa stared at them with surprise
Aaron nodded his head as a form greeting at Dennisa and quickly followed Lucy outside
After both of them were seated in the car, he started the engine and drove off
Aaron wanted to say something, but he was short of words. He didn't know how to start up a conversation after what occurred between them earlier in the house
He cursed himself several times for making Lucy feel embarrassed as he drove. And thought of finding a way to make it up to her another time
Later in the evening after dinner....
Lucy took a bath and went into her closet for a night wear
Last night she had went to bed with her wedding gown thinking her husband would come and help her take it off as it was their nuptial night, but he never showed up
After trying on all the night wears in the closet, Lucy still couldn't find the one appropriate for her
They all looked too short and revealing, making her feel a bit uncomfortable
Mr Stanley said her husband will be coming tonight. And she felt shy to let him see her in such kind of night wear
After pondering for a while, Lucy decided to put on one of her old night wears. She brought them along this morning when she went to get her stuffs from her old home
But it was almost 11pm, and she thought possibly her husband wasn't coming home again today also. So she slid into one of the exposing night wears and slammed her body onto the bed with a loud sigh
Rolling a few times, Lucy gradually fell asleep at the edge of the bed
Few minutes afterwards, the door to the room swung open and Alexander walked in
Alex stood at the door with a frown and stared at the woman lying carelessly on his bedHer body was white and petite. She had a nice shape and her her hair flung loosely to her left side covering up her faceFor a moment, Alex almost forgot himself and started admiring the woman on the bed. He felt temped to get close to her and explore her beauty moreBefore he could realise, he had already dropped his bag and stepped closer to the bed. He sat gently on it and admired Lucy's body through the nedded night wearHe bit his lower lip slightly and ran his hand through her hair gently. It was soft, dark and lengthy. Alex didn't want to, but he still found himself leaning closer to take in the great smell of her hairIt smelt so good. And it looked shiny like she had applied some oil in itLucy lied on her stomach, and her lengthy hair covered her face in a messy way, but Alex didn't look like he had a problem with itRather, he traced his hand down Lucy's neck and caressed it slightly. Th
The next day... Lucy opened her eyes lazily and observed the room keenly She sat up upon seeing no sign of Alex in the room and massaged her neck with a squeezed face. Her body ached badly from sleeping in the couch last night. And she couldn't feel her body properly Last night everything was going on very smoothly. But within few minutes of kissing and touching, Alex suddenly became upset and threw her out of the bed Lucy thought seriously about what could be Alex's problem, but nothing came in mind May he wanted to marry Lora and not her. So automatically he doesn't like her. But that's okay with her, because she believes it will take a while for them to know each other well. And when this finally happens, Alex might start liking her All she needs to do is to be an obedient and submissive wife to him. They're married now, and she needs to protect this relationship for her own safety in the future If ever Alex becomes upset and send her out of his life, then she'll end up craw
Whites Mansion"I have some news for you Lora." Samuel White, Lora's father cleared his throat slightly and said as they had breakfast"What news?" Lora asked blankly"The Brown family has offered to take you in as their daughter in law. They wish to get this done by the end of the week" Samuel replied calmlyLora's eyes opened with shock upon hearing what her father just said. She glanced worriedly at her mother gesturing her to say something but she remained quite"Who am I getting married to? Collins or Jeffery?" Lora asked tremblingly. She just prayed her father wasn't going to mention Collin's name. But looked like her fate wasn't so goodSamuel raised up his eye to stare at her and sighed out helplessly "Collins. He's the one you're getting married to""Huh?... But dad you know very well Collins used to be Lucy's boyfriend. How can I marry Lucy's ex?" Lora roared angrilyLucy and Collins planned on getting married after Lucy completed college. But they forced her into the Green
Alex dragged Lucy all the way down to the basement and threw her onto the floor roughly. He held onto his waist anxiously and stared at her like his last meal. The kind of anger radiating from his breaths alone made Lucy shaudder with fear. She wantwed to say something, or to at least apologise for what she did, but she didn't know how to start She just helped herself off the ground and looked up at A lex with apologetic eyes "I'm very sorry... I.." "Who the hell do you think you are? And... how did you even get here?" Alex grabbed Lucy's chin fiercely and asked. He looked like he was about swallowing her in the next second if something doesnt happen Tears rolled up in Lucy's eyes, and it didnt take up to the next second before it started pouring down her cheeks uncontrollably. Alex's voice sounded very cold and domineering. And she feared to make him more upset if she mistakinly says something terrible She wanted to tell him she came with Aaron, but she was afraid of the outcome.
(Music....)Lucy positioned herself well as the music began and swayed her body to the rhythm of the song. It was a rumba dance, which is often known as the dance of loveShe danced very slowly, but in a very sensual manner. She seemed to be trying to seduce Alex or somethingThe dance was in deed very flirtatious, and within the next few minutes, Alex found himself stepping closer to her. He took off his suit and sat on the bed as he stared at Lucy with lustful yet curious eyesHe seemed to be shocked by Lucy's act, and frowned on few occasionsLucy took this opportunity to sit on Alex's lap hesitantly. She was afraid of getting him more upset but Alex seemed to be okay with it. He didn't hold her, but he didn't stop her eitherHe just sat with his eyes fixed on her. Enjoying each and every single move she madeLucy felt happy in her heart that her plan was working smoothly. She had thought of so many things, but only this dance popped up in her mindShe's been joining dancing class
"Ding....dong..." Lora pressed on the doorbell a few times and waited patiently. After a short while, the door swung open and a young slender girl showed up "Hi ma'am, please how may I help you?""I'm here to see Collins." Lora replied in a light tone"Please come in" the young girl nodded her head slightly and opened the door. Lora walked in gently and sat in the sofa. She admired the living room as the girl went upstairs to call CollinsHer mom was right. The Brown family is just as rich as the Green family. They have this huge mansion, and the living room said everything. Maybe her mom wasn't so wrong. This family is filthy rich, and that's all she wantsBut the fact that Collins is Lucy's ex-boyfriend is her biggest problem. Even though she doesn't love him, she could have still managed with that because of the money. But...Lora blew out a sigh helplessly at the thought of this and shook her head slightly. She has come to make a deal with Collins if only he'll accept it. But upo
"I know Alex very well Lucy. His mother used to be my good friend. When the tragic incident occurred, I left this city and came back only few years later. I'm just so surprised he's the one you got married to" Mrs. Hayes' words resounded clearly in Lucy's mind as she stood by the roadside for a cabHer words got her thinking. Because it didn't sound so clear to her. Her reaction tells something more than what she told her. She couldn’t have possibly acted that way simply because Alex is her good friend's son, right?She looked very nervous, like as if a serious tragedy was about to befall herSomething about Mrs. Hayes reaction to Alex's name looked suspicious. And the fact that she refused to explain any further made Lucy feel a bit anxious. But she just helped the woman back to her room and left without bothering her with so much questions. Maybe she’ll find time to talk about that with her againLucy got a cab and headed back home after sometime. On the way, her phone started ringi
Lucy alighted in front of a restaurant and looked around for Mia. It was De Shallot eatery, a place they often used to have lunch four years agoThe place looked a bit different to her, because for all these past four years she has never stepped a foot thereMia said she would be waiting for her in front of the restaurant, but she was nowhere to be found. Lucy took her phone to dialed her number again. But just as it started ringing, someone hugged her from behindTurning to face the person Lucy saw it was Mia and quickly jumped into her embrace. They hugged each other tightly for a while without saying anything. They had missed each other so much, and it felt like they weren’t still getting enough of each other even after hugging for over five minutes"I really miss you a lot Lucy. I miss you so much!" Mia exclaimed happily after pulling out of Lucy's embrace"I miss you too. Let's go and have some spicy chicken" Lucy smiled and went into the restaurant with Mia. They ordered for som
