Every guest present at the grand hall for the Grande's Empire anniversary party paused there various frivolities to pay keen attention to their host for the night, Mr. Felix Grande. Bella, as well as Alexander were also keen on hearing Mr. Felix's speech. As Felix gave his heart prepared speech, Alexander could see his mother and Sophia walk into view and were standing close to the stage where Felix was. Sophia was looking so elegant that evening with her baby pink, two piece gown and a perfectly done hair do. Alexander also noticed that she had worn the necklace he had given her the previous night. Sophia was full of immense joy that it radiated all over her. One look at her and one could tell that she was beaming with an unexplainable happiness. She could not wait for that one special thing that would be happening that night, her long awaited engagement to Alexander. That was one of the major reasons for her father to fly back to the city to attend the event. She just could not wai
When Alexander could not see Bella anywhere in the party, he knew that she had already gone back to the mansion. Quickly, he drove back to the house, wanting to see her and to still tell her about his feelings for her. He had planned a special dinner for both of them that night after the anniversary party would have been over and there he would have confessed his feelings for her and hopefully get her acceptance but his mother had ruined everything for him. Nevertheless, he was still going to do it. He would still tell her in the house and get his love.Knowing Bella, the first place he went to check on her when he got to the house was the garden. And as he walked in, he saw her seated there and probably enjoying the beautiful night's air. He approached her and sat beside her and that was when Bella realized his presence. She adjusted her position on the bench and shifted a little away from him, her head was bend as she played with her fingers, which were on her laps."You left the pa
Sophia and her father got to their mansion, very embarrassed and angry. Douglas, Sophia's father was fuming and being a very hot tempered man, it took him a lot to have held himself at the party. Thanks to the anger management classes he had been undergoing privly.The moment they arrived their house and walked into the large living room, he instantly let out his anger on the beautiful decor on the table just by the door. Pushing every expensive item there to the floor, destroying them in a fit. His groan was very deep and terrifying, and none of the servants and maids came near him, knowing him very well. After his anger fit, they would then go and clear the mess he had maid.Sophia just brooded on her anger. She sat down quietly on the sofa with many things going on in her mind."How dare Claudia make a fool out of me before everybody?!" Douglas's voice thundered in the living room. Sophia still kept quiet, maintaining her posture."Humiliating my daughter, humiliating my family, hu
Alexander was summoned by his parents that same evening, before dinner. This time, his father was back from the company and he needed to talk with his son. Claudia was also there in the living room on the top floor of the duplex.Felix paid close attention to his son talk about he had felt for Sophia and that he would not be able to marry her."Did you hear his nonsense?" Claudia asked her husband, very agitated and annoyed."Relax Claudia" Felix calmed her down."I should relax?" Claudia asked his, raising her voice."How on Earth can I relax when this boy is hell bent on ruining our dreams? Tell me how?" Claudia expressed dramatically."I am not ruining anything mum. Why don't you want to understand? You are my mum and you should love me and want to best for me" Alexander protested calmly."Exactly son" Claudia faced him, "I love you and that's why I'm insisting on you getting married to Sophia. She is the perfect one for you." she said."No, she is not." Alexander replied immediate
Alexander's next plan was to properly introduce Bella to his father and to tell him about their love and his intention to marry her. That would mean strong opposition for them from his mother and Sophia. He was ready for it and so was Bella as she had told him. After their night of intimacy, Bella's heart was toughened a bit to be able to fight for their love no matter the odds. So, with that, Alexander brought Bella to his parents and told them all they needed to know about their relationship. Claudia was mad with anger and fumed visibly. Felix still maintained his calmness. He was not too happy that his son chose a maid to be his wife and his daughter-in-law but he had to carefully analyze the situation, especially when Bella was the reason Alexander had finally gotten over the death of his twin brother and was back to being the responsible man he was meant to be. If she could change Alexander, then surely she was fit to be his wife and to make him achieve more success and greatnes
Claudia made her way as soon as she was opportune to meet with Sophia. They met in a restaurant and there Claudia informed her all about the recent happenings. Sophia was vexed. She was displaced by one other but a common maid. She was even the more displeased that Felix had sided with Alexander and Bella. "How could Alex do this? Choose a pauper, a maid to be his wife?" Sophia asked."I'm equally surprised my dear. Alexander has no shame, no dignity. He is fraternizing with a low class and wants to marry her" Claudia was ashamed as she spoke."Aunty, you're not gonna let this abomination happen, are you?" Sophia asked her."Obviously not. Never. Alexander can frolic with that idiot for now but in the end he will never get married to her. I have my plans and I will do everything I have purposed in my heart to do. If that Bella of a girl is wise, she will listen to my warnings and stay away from my son else, she and her family will pay dearly" Claudia said.Sophia nodded, "I trust you
Alexander felt something odd the moment he had stepped into his bedroom. There was a strange and alluring scent in the air. Alexander wondered whether the maids had changed the air freshener in his room. The bed was strangely yet neatly done. Suddenly the sound of a romantic song filled the air and from the bathroom came Sophia, seductively dressed. She was wearing a black sexy bikini and her hair was left loose. "Hi baby" Sophia said, as she stood, leaning on the bare wall with her right leg raised up on the wall. She licked her lips enticingly as she stared at Alexander.'So this is their plan', Alexander thought to himself. He decided to leave the room immediately and quickly turned away from her. Before he could walk back to the door, Sophia had already gotten to him and stopped him, holding his hand."What do you think you're doing?" He asked her."Shhhhhhh" she said provocatively, "This isn't the time to talk.....baby" she moved to his front and started stroking his chin with h
Alexander and Bella sat down on the rocky mountains that night, having a peaceful moment. After Sophia's stunt, Alexander left them and was now staying in the settlement with Bella and her father. He would do the work he can do from there and then drive down to the main town if need be that he must be in the office for work. He was not so sure about being able to break free from Sophia's hold if she should try another sex stunt again, and he would never want to hurt Bella no matter what, not even by mistake.That night, on the high level of the mountains, Alexander told Bella everything that Sophia had done that night and he was honest enough to confess that he had almost fallen into her trap. Bella was also understanding not to hate him. She appreciated his honesty in telling her the truth and she loved him more."I will never hurt you Bella, not intentionally" Alexander said to her emotionally."I know" Bella said, touching his face softly with her hand."I mean it Bella.
