A black Benz stops in front of the hotel and two men, come out of it. They both look up at the hotel and look back at a signal on a phone showing red and green. The one dressed in a white suit them asks,“Ed, why is your phone showing two signals? Which one is Cecelia and which one is the other?”Edward frowns and creases his brows then he asks to no one in particular,“Why are they both here? And in the same room?”A scene passes through his eyes and he looks at the guy with him with his eyes wide opened and he starts rushing into the building. The guy in white looks at his retrieving figure as if he is watching a horror movie and he says to himself,“What could it be for that imperturbable person to be perturbed? Am I living to see this day or am I a ghost now?”She shakes his head and rushes behind him, the elevator is about to close with Edward inside that he barely made it inside. He breaths tiredly and he finds it hard to talk but he manages to say,“You just made me run five hu
They take her to the hospital and the doctors rush to attend to her. As soon as, her back touches the hospital bed, he leaves her body and moves back. She stretches her hand to hold on to him but the doctor beside her takes it and administers a syringe in her shoulder. Her eyes drop low and he leaves the room. Chris follows right after him as he hurries out of the hospital, he lights cigarette and draws the smoke in before pushing it out of his mouth. Chris reaches him and says to him,“I actually thought that you wanted to leave her behind. By the way, why did you bring her to the hospital? You could have taken her to a room and healed her of her sickness.”Edward hums silently and speaks,“Don’t say foolish things that will merit you a good beating.”“I dare not, but it seems your ex wife can. Imagine her do this to your lover? Does she want to die early? But she seems to have changed a lot. That little meek cat has turned into a roaring lion. What are you going to do about her?”Ed
They are sitting in the dinning area and having breakfast, she is holding the spoon in her hand and her head and laid in her palm. Her face gas a blank expression and she keeps stabbing the good on the plate with the spoon. Jonas glances at him once in a while to see her acting in the same way and only picking tiny bits of the food in her mouth. He sighs and throws his spoon into the bowl of porridge in front of him. She moves up in fright and she realizes what actually scared her, she glares at him and he glares back at her and he says to her, his hands clenched and his face a little wrinkled,“Why are you looking so bothered? What is happening with you that I don’t know?”She sighs and shakes her head slowly, Jonas glares at her harder and he stands up abruptly from his chair. It falls back to the floor, Alexia gets startled once again and she stands up along with him. Jonas smirks and he speaks in a deep and painful voice,“Alexia, don’t let me think that you still love that bastar
Alexia’s heart skip a beat and she finally let’s her shoulder down. She looks down and drops her head slightly and she moves a feet forward. But then, she hears other feet’s move forward from the far end of the line and she glances in their way. She makes out two ladies and she looks in their way her left cheek raised along with a lips, her eyes turn in their and she turns her head and says to herself,“Aren’t I the last person, who entered? They should have joined me here if they were last right? Unless,…”She stretches her head and looks at the other end of the door and she sees another door there. She finally nods her head in understanding and she tries to move back in but she hears him say,“The last three will perform on the show tonight. But, if you make any mistakes, don’t look back in here. There won’t be any space for you.”Alexia sighs and her heartbeat accelerates and she thinks, her head and eyes moving to side by side,“How can I lead a show on my first day? I haven’t don
They practice and practiced that when he asked them to rest for a moment, they almost run out of the door. But it seemed everyone of them had a purpose to keep going no matter what and they impressed Ramon a lot. In the afternoon, he lets them go to have some lunch, they three ladies that include Alexia, hold on to each other. Their backs bent slightly and their heads dropped low, it seems they have no strength in their legs. When, they walk a little forward, the realize they don’t know the way to the canteen and so, they had to come to the receptionist for this detail.The receptionist tells them and they make their way out of the reception. Just then, two gentlemen enter the building and in a second, the shorter one sees the back of the ladies. He shakes his head and is about to walk away when he sees her throw her head back feeling tired. He suddenly smiles and taps the back of the taller one. He stops and looks back at him, his face expressionless, the shorter one smiles back, his
In the practice room, Ramon walks ahead of them and tells them to follow suit in the same manner. They quickly square their shaking shoulders and follow him. He walks towards the podium and he leaves them down. He climbs up and sits down on his chair then, he clears his throat and says to them,“It’s one o’clock, you have to meet me here at five so we can go to the venue for the show. And, this time, if you are a second late. Consider, yourselves dead.”They immediately fall to the ground and they heave hurriedly out of breath. Alexia looks in Joy’s way and she smiles at her and she says to her,“We should have spent sometime together but considering the timing, it’s unfortunate.”She nods her head in agreement, her chest heaving up and down. They all get up and are leaving the room when they hear a ding sound. Silence follows it and they walk on unbothered but then, they hear him speak,“The venue has been changed and we are not going to advertise food products but jewels. Though I t
The show begins and she stands at the back of the curtain. She hears the music turn on and it’s Shakira’s song, ‘hips don’t lie’ Alexia looks back at her friends and they laugh out, her shaky hands stop shaking and she stands up right. Her shoulders squared and her head, held up high and she thinks,“There’s no one out there. You are here to impress yourself only and yourself wants the best out of you. So, no disappointment, put that in your thick scull and entire body.”Finally, she takes a step forward and it is as if, the world has vanished in front of her. She walks to the end of the line and everything is totally silent. The people around her go silent as their eyes focus on her. Her eyes scan them for a second and stops on a tall figure seated at the far end of the hall, he has a spectacle on his face and he is staring directly in her way, with a blank expression. She rolls her eyes to the side and pouts her mouth slightly as she calls in her head,“Edward!! What is he doing her
The people start leaving the hall and Edward stands up as well. Chris holds his hand and pulls him down, he shows the stage by directing him with his eyes and Edward glares at him and questions,“What do you think you want to do? I am leaving, you can put other things in place and leave as well.”Chris nods his head and tilts it to his side and asks,“That includes, looting her to our company as well right?”Edward sighs and glances in the way of the stage before leaving the hall without looking back. Chris looks at his moving figure and he shakes his head with a smirk on his face and says,“Such arrogance, he should call himself the president of the nation. Even him, has some humbleness in his being unlike that bastard. Hmmm, I should go and see her before she vanishes out of my vicinity.”He stands up and puts his hands in his pockets. He walks into the dressing room and sees several ladies busily changing, he walks to one of them and asks,“Where is Alexia?”She looks on at him wit
