When he entered the hall, he was welcomed by Selena; she was smiling ear to ear. She wore an evening gown; she looked beautiful.
She walked to Alex and hung on his arms, Alex greeted the guests, but he looked lost, he wanted to finish this and leave as soon as possible.
Soon they exchanged their rings. No one noticed that just after the event Alex removed the ring and threw it in the garbage.
Selena pulled him to the dance floor; he could not deny it in front of everyone, so he danced for a few minutes.
As he was about to leave the dance floor, his phone started vibrating, he frowned seeing the number, and he picked the call immediately.
On the other side of the call was butler Simon, he said in a trembling voice, “Master Mam, Mam,” he was stuttering.
Alex thought that Alice woke up; he went to a quiet place quickly and said with a lot of excitement in his voice, “Is she awake?”
Butler Simon gathered some courage and said, “N…no. no Master…mistress ran away, knocking down the bodyguards.”
Alex froze in his place. He was not able to believe what butler Simon said, and he asked, “how is that possible?”
Butler Simon didn’t know what to say; he just murmured, “President, even we are not able to believe it.”
Alex hung up the call and started walking out of the venue when Selena caught him and said, “Alex, where are you going?”
He looked sharply at her and said, “I have something urgent to address,” but Selena was in no mood to let him go, and she said pouting “but today is our engagement, why don’t you spend tonight with me?”
Alex looked at her and said, “you are going to be my wife; you should know how to handle these entire situations and about spending time with you, give me some days, and after that, you move in with me.”
Alex knew what kind of girl Selena is, a little bit of praise, and she would do anything, and if he asked her to move in with him, she would not doubt anything.
As expected Selena agreed to let him go, she was very happy that she will move in with him soon and will achieve her target to get pregnant with his child
Alex came back home in a hurry; he was not able to believe the view in front of his eyes; all the bodyguards were lying on the ground.
He called Mandy and asked him to come to his place immediately.
Mandy reached in time; at first, Mandy thought that something happened to Alice, but when he entered the house, things were unbelievable.
Alex asked him coldly, “how is it possible; she was in a coma for the last few months, how come she knocked out so many people?”
Mandy was not able to believe his eyes. He said: “Mr. Williams, it’s impossible for a person who just woke up from a coma, I am sure there is something wrong.”
Alex frowned tightly and said, “what do you mean?”
Mandy explained, “a person in a coma is very weak, even after that person woke up they need time to recover, I am sure Alice was awake a long time ago.”
Alex didn’t believe Mandy and said, “how is it possible, I was on her side all the time.”
Mandy replied, “you should check your CCTV, I am sure she was awake a long time ago, she had planned it, why did she disappear only when you were not at home?”
Alex thought about it, and what Mandy said made a point that means Alice was awake a long ago, but she pretended to be in a coma waiting for the right time when he was not around.
Alex immediately ordered to bring the footage of the house; there was a camera at the main entrance and everywhere in the house apart from his bedroom.
Soon a laptop was placed on the center table, Alex started looking at the footage in reverse days starting from today, and he could see that Alice used to wake up every night after everyone was asleep and she would go to her Mom’s bedroom.
She will sit next to her Mom’s bed and watch her for longer as if she wanted to lock her Mom in her eyes. She will kiss her forehead before leaving the room every night.
Soon Alex got to know that she was awake from the day he had informed her about her Mom, but she pretended to be in a coma.
She didn’t want to see him, and the day she left, he saw how easily she knocked down all his bodyguards with her swift moves.
She knew that she would not be able to defeat Alex, so she waited for the right time, and today she got the opportunity.
Understanding that Alice didn’t want to be with him, he felt upset. But soon, he recovered and had a vicious smile on his face and mumbled to himself, “not this time, baby.”
After Alice escaped Alex’s house, the first thing she did was change her hair color. At first, she had thought of leaving the city, but before she left, she had to settle the scores with Selena.
She changed her hair color to red and used different colors from her original color; she also wore big frame glasses.
If anyone looked at Alice, the first thought in that person’s mind would be ‘she is just a nerd.’
Alice started working in a café as a waitress and with her looks no one gave her much importance which Alice wanted.
Selena was in her la…la…land; she was on top of the world thinking that she would soon be Mrs. Williams, the richest woman in the country and soon in the world.
Today Selena’s parents were not at home, and she was relaxing in her bedroom, humming the song which was playing in her headphones.
