“Why are you so tough on me? We were best friends before it happened and we could return to it ”

“Return? you must be FUCKING crazy and out of your mind!” Alexa responded with calmness.

If this was a trap then she was not going to fall for it!

She had seen and been in such situations in this dirty industry and will not fall in it twice.

Amelia yanked her arms harshly and sneered at her face. The loathing in Amelia's gazes made Alexa almost scoff.

“What are you feeling like?” Amelia's face had utmost disdain as she stared into Alexa's calm and pure eyes.

The commotions between the sisters caught the attention of the reporters and they hurried towards them guessing a fight was about to begin.

No reporter wanted to lose such a chance to have views so they got their cameras ready for rolling.

Seeing the crowd gathered, Amelia's voice softened and she spoke out loudly to be heard.

“Sister Alexa, Are you still angry with me? That incident was years ago, can you just let go of it?” She pleaded more and tightened up her palms around Alexa's wrist.

The two sisters gawked at each other with hatred for one another.

“I apologized hundred of times that I stole your fiance, besides, Love can not be forced ”

Alexa's eyes teared up at the incident that flashed through her memory lane.

It still felt fresh and very much like it happened two days ago. A life lived in agony.

Alexa balled her other fist and froze as her memory took her back.

...................

Flashback, Last 10 Years.

“Charlie Warther! ” The nineteen year old Alexa hugged Charlie tightly.

Alexa and Charlie were officially dating and had advanced to the other stage, getting married.

They decided to start a family at their age and live in a small neighboring country with four kids and a dog.

After Charlie's bizarre proposal, Alexa was so joyous that she agreed to marry him. Unknown to her, Life was not her family.

“What makes my darling come to my workplace?” Charlie patted hair and placed a kiss on her face.

However, he was four years older than her, they did not mind and loved each other or that is what she thought.

“Anytime I come to visit you at your house or office, you are always busy. You are either in the US or abroad. Do you not like me anymore?”

Alexa sulked her lips like a little child being sorry for doing the wrong thing.

Her beauty was irresistible to all creatures and not excluding Charlie Warther himself.

“It is not that I do not want to see you. It is just that I am busy. All the workload and paperwork plus the wedding ” Charlie came up with an excuse.

How would he tell her that he fell in love with her cousin and kept her as a second hand?

His thoughts ran at a high speed. He looked at the girl who sulked and smiled.

“I promise you, this weekend, we will have fun!” He kissed her on the lips and hugged her tightly.

Alexa's mood lightened up and she blushed back at him. She still felt very shy being in a relationship with her middle school crush.

In her eyes, He was the only Mr. Perfect for her and she needed to grasp the opportunity.

Although the relationship was just eight month old, She felt very new to this kind of thing and her cheeks would fall with red blossoms on her cheeks.

“Hope you keep your promise ”

He drove her back to Parker's mansion and then to his own.

He kicked open the door and removed his slippers only to see his girlfriend swirling the remote between her fingers.

“Where did you go?” Amelia shot him an intense scowl.

He sensed she was pissed off and rushed over to the couch to coax her.

“I can explain ” He ran his fingers through her smooth hair.

“Do not make me repeat my sentence again!” Amelia sounded so pissed off like a wife catching her cheating husband in the middle of the night.

She called his office line multiple times but could not go through. She was worried yet he went hanging out with her damn cousin!

“I was with Alexa. You know it is just for the meantime, after we achieve what we want, I will let go of her ” He traced his finger to her lips and stroked it.

“When would you tell her that you never liked her?”

Amelia felt insecure and needed to get rid of Alexa. Her beauty was a one undeniable fact and any man would want to pay the entire globe for her touch.

And also she hated sharing her man with someone else especially that BITCH.

“Amelia, you know I can not tell her yet. All I have worked for would be in vain if I should break up with her ”

“ you know how hard it was to drop her shoulders around me and if we breakup, you will never be able to get the 5% shares she has in the Parker group ”

Charlie strived to reason out with her but it seemed she did not accept such.
