“Lexie! Alexa!” A voice called out to me while I was in the garden. Turning around, I roll my eyes as I see Prince running up to meet me. We were now at the reception so everyone was inside. Although I had bend inside for most of the night, I had come out wanting to get some fresh air. “What do you want?” I asked folding my arms as I looked at him. “Do we still need to be like this? We are now in-laws." Prince said making me burst out laughing. “Cut the act and tell me what exactly you want. You didn't want me to marry your brother but now you want us to act as if we are friends? Sorry but I don't know how to pretend to others. Especially not for as long as you did." I said. " I didn't mean to betray you. I know that you cannot forgive me for cheating on you. It's just that everything happened so suddenly. I had intended to forget about it but, Victoria was already pregnant. Mother brought her-”“Why are you telling me all these things now? If you want me to forgive you, I won't.
Heading back to our room, I can't help but feel angry at what King's mother had done at the breakfast table. Today was just my first day staying in their house but it felt like I was going to have a tough time coming. Suddenly Shawn starts crying in my arms as if he knows I am unhappy. I had heard that children were often affected by their mother's feelings even as babies but I thought it was a lie. "You shouldn't have left like that. Letting my mother know that you are affected by her isn't a good thing. She will keep on bullying you." King said closing the door as he entered. " Do you think I will let her? She is so determined to make things hard for me. The only reason why I am controlling myself is because of you. I don't want to ruin your chance with your grandmother." I said glaring at him as I continued to try and calm Shawn down. But no matter what I did, Shawn didn't stop crying and even increased his volume. I was becoming frustrated but I didn't want to show it since Kin
Just as I had expected, the interior of the company was just as beautiful as the exterior. Everyone bows their heads immediately they see us. Or rather King. Waving his hand at them, Kingston dismisses them allowing us to head to the elevator. “ Please enter, sir.” An employee says standing in front of the elevator we were about to enter. "What about the other employees? Do they have to wait?” I asked looking back as everyone passed by whispering to each other. “Don't worry. The company has many elevators so they can take. Let's go." King said taking my hand as we entered inside. Arriving at his office, Kingston opens the door smiling happily. He seemed excited for some reason to show me his office. “ What? Do you have some surprise or something to show me?" I asked laughing as King dragged me inside. Spotting the nanny standing with our son, I look at Kingston in shock since there is actually nothing much of a surprise in his office. “Kingston!” A girl said turning the chair a
“Dad, Lexie-" " I am not obsessed with anyone. And as you already know, your other son was the indecent one that cheated on his girlfriend and got another girl pregnant.” I said defending myself. “I wasn't talking to you. If I am not talking to you, don't talk. I already know what you are after. You want to use your son to keep a tight hold on Kingston. Too bad that he is soft hearted. Since you are my daughter-in-law, behave yourself. Do you understand?” King's father asked talking to me before leaving.A few minutes later, I head out with Shawn in my hand as I try to leave King's company. I didn't want to stay here for even a second longer after what King's father had told me. Running after me, King blocks my way trying to stop me from leaving. " Lexie, calm down. I will go and talk to him. Don't mind-" King said making me halt in my footsteps. “ Don't bother. From now on, I will be dropping Shawn at a kindergarten or something. It's better than having everyone treat me and my s
After the outburst from Kingston's grandmother, everyone suddenly seemed to start walking on eggshells. That just proved how powerful she was as the elder of the house. While I am standing outside looking at the sky, Prince walks over to me knowing that was the only time he was going to get “I am so sorry for what happened. I didn't know that my wife and King was going to take it the wrong way." Prince said making me shake my head. “ There is no need for you to apologize. In fact I should be thanking you. You're the only one that remembered that I am allergic to shrimp. But you heard your grandmother. You and Kingston should respect yourselves." I said folding my arm. " I don't mind getting along with Kingston. But I am afraid that he might be too possessive. Does he hurt you at all?” Prince asked making me stunned. “ Hurt me? Of course not. He is the father of my child. We are in love, why should he hurt me?” I asked glaring at Prince. It was obvious what he wanted. He wanted to
“No." I said adamantly as I dragged my Aunt's hand trying to get her out of the gate. “ I'm very grateful for everything you have done for me but you cannot stay with me. I won't allow it. If you need some money, I can send you some later." I said pushing out of the gate despite her resistance. Once she's out of the house, I head back to sleep thinking that she would be gone by the time I woke up. To my surprise, I walk down the stairs the next day to see her sitting down in the living room with Kingston's grandmother. Gasping in shock as I walked down, I moved closer to see if I was really sleeping or not. “ Alexa, is it true that you left your Aunt outside all night? What were you thinking?" Kingston's grandmother asked staring at me as if I am the biggest disappointment in the world. “Aunt, I thought you went back. I told you to go back. What are you doing here?" I asked trying to grab her hand once more but my Aunt easily dodges me. " I'm not living. I don't have a place to sta
Heading to work with Princeton, the tension in the car becomes unbearable making me wish we arrive there sooner. Once the car stops, I reach for the door about to open it when Princeton stops me. “ Let me do it." Princeton said reaching for my hand. Staying still as he helps me open the door, I can't help but remember the good old days when we used to be together. Was this another one of his plans? I knew Prince to be very cunning and ambitious at times. He was the type of person who was ready to do anything to get what he wanted. “ This is Alexa. She will be my personal assistant and will be working under me from now on. I hope that all of you can get along. Right now we need all the help. We can get and Alexa is really smart.” Princeton said smiling as he introduced me. He knew exactly what he was doing. Since his grandmother had already warned me about revealing my identity, I couldn't clear things up and reveal that I was just his sister-in-law. But it was okay. Even if I didn
Rushing out of the room, I head over to Shawn's room to take a good look at him. The nanny was right. Shawn was not breathing. Letting the anxiety get to my head, I rush down the stairs almost screaming. Spotting me carrying Shawn, Prince rushed over to me. “What's wrong, Alexa? Is Shawn okay?" Prince asked taking Shawn from my hand. Helping me into his car, Prince rushed us to the hospital. While I am pacing about anxiously, Prince heads out to get some things that Shawn might need. He was an asshole. He might be the man that had betrayed me but he was here when my child needed him the most. Meanwhile, the baby's real father was drunk instead. “ Don't worry about anything. He will be fine, Lexie.” Prince said holding my hand in his. Staying with me the entire night, Prince and I returned back to the house in the morning. By the time we arrived back to the house, everyone was already awake staring at us. Watching Prince's mother walk up to me, I can tell what she is going to do al
