CHAPTER FOURTY TWOJAMES I was scrolling through my phone aimlessly, with my legs crossed. My butt and couch rested on the couch as I watched my mom and the event planners out things in other. I had nothing to do online. I just wanted to escape chores."James," my mom called for the fiftieth time today.I turned to face her without saying anything. "Do you need the VIP table at the right side of the hall or left side?" She asked me. "Left side," I replied carelessly and continued pressing my phone. My mom went ahead with the event planners. Her phone soon began to vibrate, and she quickly picked it up. "Hello."She listened quietly for a while, and a smile broke through her lips. "Maybe you would come over later and pick more of the cards. I have three more guests that I want to invite."She soon hung up and faced me. "How many invites are on your list?" She asked me. "Uhm..." I scratched my head. "A few friends, and some random celebrities."She nodded. "I invited your... y

CHAPTER FOURTY FOURSALLYSlowly, I opened my eyes and rubbed it gently with my palms. I noticed Alex seated right before me on the bed and staring at me with a smile. My face flushed red, although his stares were a little uncomfortable. "Waking up to a handsome face makes you blush. I've noted that," Alex teased me. I rolled my eyes and looked away. Flashes of last night came to my memory, and a smile curved out on my lips. "I guess you won a jackpot last night," Alex continued to tease me. "The way you're smiling and blushing."I turned to face him. "I enjoyed last night," I told him. "At least, I got to experience what it felt like since I wasn't drunk this time. "Alex sighed a pretentious sigh of relief. "I really thought you'd wake up and stab me this time."I giggled. "Honestly," I began to speak, with a serious look as I placed my hand on Alex's chest. "Last night was a special one."He smiled deeply, revealing his cute dimples. It was hard to believe that I finally had s

CHAPTER FOURTY SIXSALLY"Now, this looks exceptionally beautiful!" Alicia complimented immediately when I was done dressing up. I stood in front of my dressing mirror with my eyes fixed on my reflection. I was indeed a beauty to behold. A smile played on my lips as I watched my reflection. "I think you're good to go," Alicia told me. "You're lucky to have someone who has such a nice taste. "Alicia and I walked out of the room together. I walked her to the door, and she left. I turned around and saw Alex walking down the stairs.He was dressed in a cooperate wear. I stared at him agape until he got to where I was standing. "You look fabulous!" Alex said to me. "You look handsome."Alexander stretched his hands towards me and pulled me closer. "I didn't find you in your room, so I came downstairs to see if you're here.""I decided to see Alicia off. "Alex stared at me from my head down to my toe, and I smiled deeply. I loved the way he devoured my body with his eyes.I could te

CHAPTER FOURTY EIGHTSALLYI watched Alex leave with a smile on my face. I walked back to my seat and sat there. After James's father was done with his speech, he was called together with his family to cut the anniversary cake. They spelt Whites to cut the cake, and after that, Diane left hurriedly. James walked up to me and came to sit in front of me. Music was already all over, and people were now dancing at the open dance floor. "You know that's Alex's seat, right?" I asked James. He nodded calmly. "And you know he wouldn't want to see you there when he comes back, right?" I asked James. He nodded. "Do you know that I've been trying to get your attention since?" James asked me. I shifted uncomfortably. I didn't want him to flatter me. I looked around for Alex, hoping that he wouldn't come back and make trouble with James. "Do you know that the reason I'm desperately wanting to speak with you is more important to you?"I sighed deeply. The question and answer section was ge

CHAPTER FIFTY ALEXANDER I was on a call when Sally suddenly badged into my office with a fierce look. I quickly put the call on hold and stood up to face Sally. I could feel the pain in her voice as she spoke, and I didn't have the guts to lie to her. Judgement day is here already. Nothing would be hidden under the sun for a long time, and here it was. Sally already found out the truth. I decided to tell her the truth rather than make things worse by trying to deny it. I picked up the wedding ring immediately when Sally threw it at me, and ran after her. I rushed downstairs, and she was nowhere to be found. How did she disappear within the very little time I bent down to pick up her ring? I looked around for my car. It was parked at the usual spot. I walked towards it and noticed that it was open, and the key was inside. I turned around and my driver wasn't around the premises. "I do not need you right now."I placed the ring in my pocket and climbed into my car. "Sir Alexan
