Alexander spent the night on the lonley road and for the first time, he did have quite a peaceful sleep though it was not for long. It was as though his late brother, Andre had heard his cries and decided to give him a night break. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He brought out his phone and checked the time. It was six-thirty in the morning. He rubbed his face with his hands and suddenly remembered Bella in the hospital. He started his car and turned around, heading for the hospital. When he got there he inquired of Bella and was told that she was still unconscious and nothing could be made out of her condition yet. He sat down on the chair beside her in the hospital. The beeping sound of the heart monitor machine filled the room. Alexander just stared at the unconscious beauty. A lot of things were attached to her body, drip, blood and others he did not know what they were. He thought back and realized that he had really hurt the young lady and for his own selfish de

Sophia came to the house the next day as soon as Claudia had informed her about Alexander's return home. She was with him in his room's balcony ranting about a lot of things that he did not pay any attention to. He just busied himself with his phone.After her ranting about how the past days were for her, she focused on Alexander with a smile on her face, "You haven't told me about the new business adventure you had gone on that kept you away from sight for days" she asked.Alexander raised his head from his phone to her, "You didn't give me the chance to talk, did you?" he sounded sarcastic but Sophia ignore his tone."Well I'm asking now. Tell me" she said with keen interest."It's a personal matter" Alexander replied."You can still share it with me" Sophia pressed, "We are going to be married so you're personal matters are equally my personal matters too" she added with her smile still lingering.Alexander did not reply her and returned to his phone."Fine, don't tell me. I won't

As Bella dressed the grand bed in Alexander's bedroom, she noticed his tensed mood as he sat over the table in his room with some papers in her hands and his laptop opened on the table. Bella could see his hands vibrating with the papers in them. She finished dressing the bed and walked to him at the table."What's making you so nervous this morning?" She asked him.As if he was waiting for her to ask, he dropped the papers on the table and stood up, walking into the free space in the room. He faced her and said, "I have a very important presentation tomorrow morning at the company and I'm nervous" He replied."But you shouldn't be nervous." Bella said."Yes, I know. Years back I would have done this with my eyes closed, without a worry but now I don't know, I'm just scared. It's been long I did something like this. What if I've lost it?" He asked and started pacing round the room."Sir, Relax....."Bella said but Alexander continued as if he did not hear anything."Imagine the board l

While busy with his project, Alexander knew he was missing out on quality time with Bella. He had planned to get Bella to gradually fall in love with him before the anniversary party. It would be at the party that he would tell Bella about his feelings and properly introduce her to his father as the lady behind the change in him. He had began to succeed when they spent that night together in the garden. He had felt Bella's uneasiness and little sparks of love emmitting from her heart. That was a very good start but now his work had taken all his time and attention and for about two weeks, he had not actually seen Bella. If he continued seeing her and sowing those feelings in her then he was sure that before the anniversary party, Bella's heart would have been his. Alexander knew that he had to make time to see her that day and so he intentionally finished his work on time that day and moved every other pending work to the next day. After giving his team assignments, he quickly drove

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
