At first, Joy was indeed angry at his boss for leaving Alice alone in the hospital, but after seeing his condition in the last few days, he realized that his boss was also the victim of Selena’s plan.
Alex had not been to the office in the last few days, and Joy had to manage things alone. Today when he saw his boss calling him he was delighted.
The moment Joy answered the call, there came his boss’s usual cold voice “call Selena to my office,” and after completing his statement, he hung up the call. Joy was surrounded by questions, but he blew off the questions and thought of following his boss’s orders quietly.
In an hour, Alex reached his office, and soon Selena was also there. Joy took Selena to Alex’s office, and soon she was standing in front of him.
Alex looked at her with unknown expressions and said in a tone like he was talking to one of his business partners “Selena, let’s get engaged, we will have our engagement after three months, so please start your preparations.”
Selena was so happy that she ran to hug him, but he stopped her saying coldly “and one more thing, I will be busy for these days, so you have to do the preparations by yourself if you need someone for help you can call any of my secretaries apart from Joy.”
Selena felt a little disappointed when he didn’t let her hug him, but she was happy that her plan worked, and she will be Mrs. Alexander Williams soon. She didn’t show her disappointment on her face and left the office saying, “don’t worry, Alex. I will take care of everything.”
Alex looked at the closed door after Selena left, then he turned his gaze on Joy, who was standing with a face that had a lot of questions.
Avoiding his questionable face, he ordered: “keep an eye on Dylan; he definitely knows where Alice is, I want all the details of his travel and list of people he meets.”
Joy nodded and walked out of the office.
News of Alex getting engaged with Selena was all over the country. Dylan was furious after seeing this news.
He felt that his decision was right not to tell Alex where Alice is. He doesn’t deserve Alice and her love.
Selena was giving interviews to different media channels about her engagement; she was blabbering about how she and Alex love each other for a long time.
A week passed, but there was no news about Alice or her location.
Alex called a conference today, as media people wanted to confirm the news of his engagement from him because, in the past, there have been many rumors, but the story was never verified.
Alex came to the conference with Selena; she was smiling brightly. Her happiness was visible on her face.
Once the conference started, one reporter asked Alex, “Mr. Williams, is the news of your engagement correct or just another rumor?”
Alex leaned towards the mic in front of him and said coldly, “it’s correct news, you all are invited in my engagement, and the invitation will be sent to the respective person.”
Another reporter asked, “Mr. Williams, so what’s your plan for the wedding?”
Alex replied calmly “you will get the dates after the engagement banquet ”
Next reporter asked, “So, Mr. Williams, will it be a destination wedding or in the homeland?”
Alex replied, “Homeland.”
Next reporter asked, “Mr. Williams; you had been linked to so many well-known women in the past, what do you want to say about those relationships?
“They are just rumors,” Alex replied as short as he can.
One reporter asked, “Mr. Williams, this marriage is out of love as per Miss. Selena, or it’s a business marriage.”
Alex glared at the reporter and said, “this conference ends here,” He left the hall and said this statement.
Reporters tried to catch him for more questions, but his bodyguards protected him.
Half a month passed, but there was no news of Alice, Alex was losing his patience.
Every night when he sleeps, he will hold the couple pendant chain in his hands.
Holding it, he can sleep for some time; otherwise, he can’t sleep at all.
It’s been so many days; he hasn’t touched his Alice, haven’t seen her lovely face, which enlightens his day.
He looked tired all the time; he lost the charm of his face. If he didn’t get Alice back soon, he might die without her.
He was not eating properly and kept himself buried in his work and smoked a lot.
Selena was not allowed to meet him; she was informed every time that he was in a meeting or on a business trip.
Alex never shared his personal number with Selena, so she was not able to call him personally.
Selena was in a spa when she got a call from the mysterious man, she waved to the staff to leave her alone, and she picked the call and said proudly “I know you called me to congratulate.”
The person on the other side said arrogantly, “don’t forget you are still not close to him. I want you to get pregnant as soon as possible.”
Selena smiled viciously and said, “I had asked for six months, and I am already close to my Alex, and I will be Mrs. Williams soon, and you will get what you want.”
The mysterious man said, “I don’t have to do anything with your marriage and don’t forget who your body belongs to; even if you become his wife, you have to warm my bed and meet me tonight at our old location” and he hung up the call.
Selena smirked and mumbled, “I know you can’t stay away from my body.”
Selena went to a luxurious hotel and entered a room using the key card.
The moment she entered the room, she was pinned to the wall, and the man started kissing her wildly and said, “We will be together once we get what we want,” and they had a passionate night.
It’s been a month, but still no success in Alice’s location.
Alex was having a board meeting with the board member. Board members want Alex to merge his own company AAW to his family business because his company has become the biggest competitor of his family business.
