Christine walked into the room and saw Bella sitted on her bed looking disturbed. She moved to her and sat down beside her."Hey dear, what's wrong?" Christine asked."I don't know." Bella replied, "What is sir Alexander is really in love with me?" she asked, dropping her voice in a whisper to prevent accidental evesdropping."You've finally seen it right? Did he say anything to you?" Christine asked her."He said many things" Bella said."Sweetheart" Christine started with a wild smile on her face, "Sir Alexander is in love with you. It's very obvious from the way he has been around you and it's a good thing" Bella looked at her as she continued, "Imagine you finally married to the only heir to the Grandes Empire. Honey, your life and that of your dad is made" Christine was excited for her friend but was careful enough not to make any noise to attract the attention of other maids."It not that easy" Bella said."Why? I know you love him too. You've just not admitted it to yourself. A
The long awaited day for the Grande's Empire anniversary party finally came. Everything was set for that evening. Alexander made sure that his parents left before him to the grand hotel where the anniversary party would be heard so that he could have time to prepare Bella for the party.First, after he had gotten dressed up in his Forest Green tuxedo. He took Bella to a fashion house where she would be all dolled up for the event. Bella had her outfit, hair and makeup taken care of by the stylist who Alexander had taken her to and after everything, Alexander was stunned to see her. Bella looked so ravishing and beautiful in her elegant glittering gold gown. Her stilletos were gold as well and she had a fancy gold clutch in her hand. Her hair was elegantly done and curled to fall over her shoulders and her make up depicted class and beauty.Alexander was speechless to see her walk up to him in the lobby with a radiating smile on her face."How do I look?" she asked him."You're very be
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
