I'm Over Him

Alexander POV I walked into the mansion, quite exhausted. As I got closer to the living room, I heard Granny's voice." Don't you get it, she might just end up committing suicide because of Peter," She sounded excited. 'No granny, I don't think Rachel would ever do that, she's so strong hearted" I heard a familiar voice which I immediately recognized to be Olive's replied. Oh my goodness! What's she here doing by this time? I quickly hastened my steps, and immediately I got inside, they both turned to my direction from the TV screen. God! It was really Olive. She sprang on her feet and rushed to me, gleefully. 'Oh my, Alex, I missed you so much," She cooed while hugging me very tight. Above her shoulder, I met granny's gaze fixed on us, with a victory smile on her face. I creased my brows at her and she nodded. 'What?" I mouthed. 'She's good for you" She also mouthed, as she made a heart shape with her fingers. I scoffed softly. Undeniable, Olive is a sweet and always cheerful lady. I met her in California while I was on vacation two years ago. Although, I'm aware she had a gigantic crush on me, but I made her understand she's more important to me as a friend than a girlfriend, besides I am not ready to be committed to a lady. I just hope she has let go and moved on. 'Didn't you miss me?" She pulled away from the hug and says with a pout. I smiled. 'Of course I miss you baby" Her cheeks flamed up. 'But what are you doing in my house, by the way?" I asked her, avoiding granny's eyes. 'Huh?" 'You don't want me around you anymore?" She said tearfully and I quickly held her chin. 'That wasn't what I meant, Olive, I mean it's late, and you didn't inform me beforehand…" 'Why would she inform you beforehand before coming here?" Granny interrupted. I averted my eyes to where she was sitting, hoping she hasn't discussed anything concerning the marriage sh*t with her. 'Well, since you never told me about her ever since you've known each other," She said while standing up. 'I'm glad to met with such a pure hearted and decent lady today, and I was happier when she had said she was looking for you" I heaved a deep sigh as granny got to where we were standing. 'You're welcome anytime, dear," She shot her an adoring smile. 'Your room has been prepared, but if you want, you can sleep with him" My eyes widened. Hell no! 'Thanks granny" Olive says with a light bow. Granny moved closer and pecked her forehead. 'Goodnight, dear" She said, and with that, she headed for the stairs. Not after shooting me a funny glare,, though. 'How did you manage to locate where I live because I can't remember telling you my house address?" I plonked myself onto a sofa and asked her, tiredly. 'Come on, Alex, you told me your house address the last time we chatted on Skype," She said with a giggle as she took her seat next to me. Whoa… I rubbed my head. 'Anyway, hope you're good?" I asked her with a friendly smile. She smiled wider and moved closer to me. 'I really missed you so much" She placed her head on my shoulder, as she wrapped her fingers around my arm. I breathe out softly. Women are so unpredictable. How could she come looking for me all the way from California? Amelia POV I carefully dropped the stainless tray on the dinning table, containing some Broccoli. 'Are you nut?!" Mom's voice made me cringed. 'Can't you drop the tray carefully, rather than to make it noisy?" She seethed. I lowered my head immediately. 'I'm sorry, mom," I apologized. 'Just get out of my sight!" She yelled. I quickly turned around and scuttled off. 'Amelia" Dad called, when I was closer to the kitchen. I went back to the table where everyone was sitting, enjoying their meal. I just hope I haven't committed a big crime this time around. 'I am not satisfied with the laundry man service, the clothes are not well pressed to my satisfaction" He began, chopping his steak. 'Ensure you press them all before going to bed," He ordered, without sparing me a glance. I felt my heart broke immediately. I'm feeling so tired now, and to press clothes… Gosh! Everyone knows I how much hate pressing clothes. I met Callie's gaze, and she shot me a soft smile. 'Okay, dad," I managed to utter before disappearing from their sights. With a heavy heart, I sat down on the bare floor in the kitchen, curled up in a ball painfully, sobbing softly. Can my life ever get back to normal? A few minutes later, I rose when I was sure they would have left the dinning room. I got to the dinning room and cleared the table. I quickly washed the dishes and dried them with a napkin before arranging them to its rack. After I was done cleaning the kitchen, I proceeded to mom and dad's room. I knocked softly but got no response, so I supposed they were sleeping already. I carefully twisted the doorknob and walked in, I sighed softly when I saw them both sleeping so soundly. Uhm. I picked the clothes that were carelessly dumped on the single couch in the room and walked out of the room. I itched the bridge of my nose while staring at the pile of clothes I was about to press. Suddenly, I heard footsteps on the stairs and I quickly began to press it, starting with a t-shirt. 'It's me, Amelia" I heard Callie's warm voice and I slowly lifted my head. 'I would help you with this, you can go to bed" She crouched in front of me and says. Water rushed to my eyes. 'No Callie, I can handle it" I declined and continued pressing the t-shirt. She slowly pushed me away and took over the iron. 'I know how much you hate pressing clothes' sister, so let me handle this," She said, bringing more tears to my eyes. 'Thank you so much, Callie," I choked out. 'It's my pleasure," She smiled at me. Kiara POV The following day… I made my way out of the pharmacy and walked down to the bus station. I just purchased the contraceptive pills, and I just hope I arrived at the hotel sooner, so I can take it. Over my dead body would I allow his semen to develop in my belly. Such a punk! I still can't believe I cried to sleep last night, all because of him. I felt a pain I never thought existed before. I shut my eyes as I inhaled and exhaled softly. No, Kiara. You're over him, you shouldn't think about him anymore. But I'll make sure he regrets his actions, I promise. The honked of a car brought me back to reality. Huh? I looked forward to seeing a good-looking car parked right before me. I watched as the car driver stepped out and came to meet me. 'Hi, pretty girl," He greeted in a cheerful tone. "Hi," I replied dryly, looking away from his face. Why are there so much cute guys everywhere? 'I'm Nicholas, and if you don't mind, I would like to give you a ride," He said in a gentleman's voice. 'No, thanks" I rejected, sharply. 'It breaks my heart to see a beautiful woman as you are standing under this scorching sun," He pressed on. I turned my head to face him. 'Please" He mouthed, with his palms glued together. 'Okay" I agreed. He shot me a smile before hurrying towards the car and opened the passenger door for me. 'Thanks" I mumbled before sliding in. I brought my purse to my laps while I watched him turned around to the driver's seat. 'So, where could a pretty lady like you be heading to under the burning sun?" He started the conversation, while driving calmly on the road. 'Lone Star Inn" I told him, and he turned to me, surprised. Yeah, I understand that look. 'Can I really afford their pay?' 'I don't mean to be rude now, but…" The shrilling sound of his phone cut him short. He looked down at the phone in the car safe before picking it. 'Excuse me" He muttered before sliding the answer icon. 'Yeah, speak," He said, coldly. He handled the steering with a hand, while he held the phone to his ear with the other hand. 'What?!" He yelled, and I think my heart almost fell off my chest. Gosh! He startled me. 'You mean Alexander was given this contract again?" My heart skipped upon hearing his name. He's not the only person bearing that name… I scolded myself inwardly. 'How's that even possible?" 'I'm sure it's all Alex's doing, and he's really going to regret it this time around" He snorted, and I began to feel scared for him- Alex. For f**k sake! 'He might not be the same Alex you're thinking of'… My inner voice yelled and I just gulped. I hope so, cause this person over here seemed like he's going to kill Alex once he gets a grip of him.
