James came to hand over a few things to Alice, which his Mom gave him and asked him to do it personally; after finishing the job, he left immediately.
Alexa was standing at the window in her room, her heart was beating fast, she wanted to avoid him, but she couldn’t stop her heart loving him; she was standing at the window just to glance at him.
She cannot look at him directly; her heart would jump out if she tried to look at him.
When he walked out of the house, Alexa was happy to see him; at least in this way, she will not have to face his dangerous eyes, and she can see him as much as she wants.
While entering the car, James felt something and immediately looked up in the direction of Alexa’s window, but Alexa was quick enough to hide behind the curtains.
He entered his car, and the car drove away. Alexa was looking at the car till it went out of her sight.
She was fighting with herself; she had told herself many times that he does not belong to her, but her heart is not ready to understand it.
Soon it was the day of Alexa’s engagement; her gown was designed by the number one designer in the world; she looked so beautiful that no one could stop looking at her, irrespective of men or women.
She was hell scared, nervous, and many emotions were going on inside her. She reached the venue with her whole family.
After entering the hall, everyone was congratulating her. Soon she saw a figure entering the hall. It was James, he wore a dark blue tailored suit, he was looking so handsome that she could not move her eyes away from him for some time.
She thought he must be here to attend her engagement, everyone complimented her, but James didn’t even look at her for once, as if she was invisible to him.
It broke Alexa’s heart, but she hides her emotions well and doesn’t let her tears fall. She rushed to the bathroom because it was getting tough to hold her tears.
When she rushed to the bathroom, James saw her. James never left his eyes from her, but he didn’t let Alexa know about it; when he saw her rushing to the bathroom, he thought she must be going to touch up her makeup.
He was again pissed, thinking why she is so worried about her looks for a person she doesn’t even know.
After calming herself down, Alexa came out of the bathroom. Alex and Dylan went to the stage, and Alex said, smiling ear to ear, it was visible that he was very happy with this engagement.
“Hello everyone, thank you so much for pulling out time from your busy schedule and attending my daughter’s engagement.”
“We know that everyone is suspicious about who my son-in-law is. so let me break the suspense and start the engagement ceremony.”
“My son-in-law is someone whom I have known from his childhood, I have seen him growing up. He is the son of a person who is like my younger brother; he is James Millers, son of Dylan Millers.”
“I trust James a lot when it comes to my daughter; initially, I wanted to find a person to marry my daughter and stay with us in our house because I don’t trust anyone when it comes to Alexa, and I don’t want Alexa to stay with someone unknown to us.”
“But James, he is different; he gave me the trust that he will take care of my Alexa, and keep her happy, so please welcome James.” James walked to the stage and hugged Alex, smiling a little.
Hall was filled with applause and cheerfulness, but one person felt like the sky had fallen on her; it was Alexa.
Before she could react, Alice held her hand and started walking towards the stage. When Alexa reached the stage, she saw James standing there straight, showing no emotions on his face.
Alexa had many emotions flowing inside her; she was happy, she was excited that she would marry whom she loves so much, but at the same time, she was scared and nervous also.
James stood in front of her and slowly held her hand to put the ring on her finger, but Alexa’s hand was shivering. James thought she didn’t want to marry him; he didn’t give a shit about her feelings, held her hand tightly, and harshly pushed the ring in her finger.
It hurt Alexa, but she endured the pain, but her heart’s pain was much more than the pain outside.
She thought that he doesn’t want to marry her, he must be doing it because of his parent’s pressure, so he is angry.
She also slowly put the ring on his finger; everyone applauded and congratulated the couple.
After some time, Alexa was tired of giving everyone a fake smile, so she excused herself and went to the bathroom.
Alexa was standing in front of the mirror, the bathroom was empty, there was no one apart from her; she took the support of the island and tried to control herself hard, but James’s angry face was flashing in her mind, and her tears were unstoppable.
While she was trying to control her emotions, she heard the door opening; she thought it must be some guest; she immediately took tissues and wiped her tears and washed her face.
Before she could wipe her face and dry it, she was suddenly pulled in someone’s arms, she panicked and looked up, pushing the person, but when she saw the person’s face, her blood froze; it was James.
He looked pissed, and he said, grinding his teeth, holding her in his arms, “You are not happy, right? because you want to go back to London?”
Alexa didn’t understand what he was saying, but before she could open her mouth to ask him what he was talking about, he kissed her passionately.
