A WEEK LATER ‘Do you have anything to say 𝒖𝒏 𝒋𝒆𝒖𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆?'.The young pastor with a very fluent French accent asked and Landon's lips set in a grim hard line. ‘It's okay you got this'.Catherine whispered into his ears and after a moment of contemplating,he finally got to his feet and walked to the front of the little crowd. Alice's nipped her bottom lip when he took off the shades and even if he didn't cry when Grandma Lena was whisked away in a bag,she could clearly see the pain in his eyes. ’She was a beautiful woman.Everyone knew my grandmother as a beautiful woman but I knew her as a mother,a mother who would smack the back of my head whenever she tried talking sense into...into...into me.I have a daughter and for once Grandma Lena never regarded her as a great grandchild but rather as a grandchild and I...'.He stuttered on and tried to fin

  ‘I know you can be stubborn and arrogant but this takes the toll Landon Mikaelson.Give me one good reason for not going to the hospital when you're clearly sick!'.Alice barged into Landon's room and stopped dead in her tracks when she found him on the bed shirtless and sweating profusely. There were pieces of tissue paper lying about and he who was known for impeccable neatness didn't even care at all. ‘It's just a cold'.He muttered in a hoarse voice and she scoffed loudly. ‘A cold? You're sweating like a basketball player who just came out of the gym Landon'. ‘I guess the housekeeper called'.He grabbed a tissue and blew his nose. ‘No one called,I...I came looking for you at the office and they said you haven't been in for the week and I was....Can you please stop that?!'.She snapped when the grin on his face grew wider.

  It was a good time for a walk the next morning and Alice decided to take Willow out for a stroll.She was finally three months old and it was time she got a good glimpse of the outside world. The argument with Landon was out of proportion and heart-wrenching enough but she had to do what had to be done for her protection.She had to protect herself from getting hurt all over again. ‘We meet again'.A very distinctive voice hollered from behind and when she turned around it was Luther. He was different and looking more professional than causal as he was on their previous date which she bailed on. ‘Hey...hey Luther... it's...it's nice to see you again'.She stuttered and nervously tucked her hair behind her ear. ‘I don't really think you mean it'.He feigned a chuckle but she could feel the annoyance in his voice. &lsquo

  ‘Georgie I need you to pull up every single thing you know about Luther O'Brien ASAP'.Landon flickered his fingers the next morning as he barged into his office with his personal assistant behind his back. ‘You don't know Luther O'Brien??'.She stared him in disbelief and he frowned deeply as he sat on his chair. ‘If I knew would I be asking you? I had a long night Georgie and incompetence is not something I want to deal with this morning.Pull up everything you know about Luther O'Brien and I want it now!'.He said aloud and she walked away briskly. He opened his laptop and tried working but his mind kept on drifting back to the sight of Alice dancing around recklessly with Luther and he couldn't help but close the device back and bathe in his pool of jealousy. A part of him wanted him to move on and forget about a happily ever after while the other part wa

  Alice woke up the next morning and went into a mood of panic the moment she found herself in her old room in Landon's house. She looked under bedcovers and let out a scream as she was only wearing her lace bra and cotton panties, Landon rushed in and when she saw him she let out another scream. ‘Willow?!! Where is Willow?!'. ‘Relax Alice'. ‘Don't you dare f**king tell me to relax Landon!! I'm in the wrong house,naked and feeling like crap so please don't you dare tell me to relax Landon Mikaelson!!'.She yelled and atypically threw a pillow at him which he quickly dodged. ‘Willow is in the nursery.I sent the car for Natalie and she was brought in last night.You were— ‘What happened last night?'. ‘Well you were drunk,puked on my pants and passed out last night'.He replied
