Dave left where he parked his car when he couldn’t spot Alexa. Now that he knows where the woman lives, it’s easy for him to make his plan.At the villa, Simon is surprised to see his granddaughter, and it looks like she’s about to cry. “What happened? Where is your husband?”Lourdes is also worried that she approached her daughter because of her sudden arrival.“Grandpa, they are so bad!”“Who?” Simon and Lourdes asked at the same time.“The family of the woman who likes Zion!” Alexa sat down on the sofa.“What? Zion has another woman?” Simon asked angrily.“Someone likes him, and it’s not a woman.” Alexa’s correction.“Then why are you getting affected by them? You should not go home here but to your husband’s, so that you can fight for him.” Simon’s sermon.“Grandpa, they belittled me and told me that I’m not suitable for Zion because I’m poor. This is your fault, Grandpa!” Alexa’s complained to her grandfather.Lourdes’ eyes widened, worried for what might come out of her daughter
“Go inside and coax your wife. But you should stay here overnight, and I want to be with my granddaughter too.”“Thank you very much for understanding, Grandpa.” Zion stepped forward first and entered the house.When Alexa saw her husband, she jumped down from the high leg stool where she was sitting. “Babe, how did you know I was here?”“Why did you leave the company and leave your bag in my office with your cellphone?” Zion asked his wife, sounding angry.“I don’t know where the way back to your office from the exclusive room is. Then when I went out the door, another man met me, and he was angry.”“Wait, you own the company that my grandchildren have joined as interns?” Simon asked the young man in shock.Alexa’s eyes widened. She doesn’t want anyone else to know about her husband’s true personality, especially her family. Not that she’s embarrassed or anything. But maybe they will take advantage of Zion’s kindness. She knew her grandfather; he didn’t just have business on his mind
After entering the room, Alexa immediately hugged her husband. But instead of being sweet with her, she instead received a sermon from him.“Babe, don’t repeat what you did earlier when you left without saying goodbye and even left your cellphone behind.”Alexa pouted. “Babe, don’t be angry. I forgot to call you back earlier because I was in a hurry to come here to get home right away. I want to get my inheritance from Grandpa so I can slap your woman’s father with it.”Zion frowned and remembered what the old man said earlier. “Who insulted your personality earlier?”“I don’t know him, but he said that he knows your family personally and that he is the father of the woman you are destined to marry.” Alexa suddenly frowned and sulked at the man because he has another woman.“That bastard! How dare he brag about himself and tell you about his daughter!”Alexa frowned even more and spoke badly of her husband. “Babe, slow down!”Zion’s forehead still didn’t flatten even though his wife l
“My husband is damn handsome, isn’t he?” Alexa smiled at her cousin.Liza quickly looked away from Zion’s body. She could not imagine that despite what he was wearing, his handsomeness still appeared. He looks super hot, and she gets envious with her cousin. If her cousin’s wedding to Dave had been successful, she might be Zion’s girlfriend or wife now.“He is mine, and only mine! All about him is also mine, and I don’t want to have a rival.” Alexa emphasized every word she uttered.Liza stared at her cousin angrily. Fortunately, Zion entered their grandfather’s room to change. “Let’s see how long Zion will love you.”She also stared at Liza badly. “Don’t make the mistake of dreaming of having my husband, Liza, because I’m really going to beat you up and make you bald! You should be contented with your pervert boyfriend!”Liza was very upset, and the anger she felt for Alexa only increased. “It’s your fault Dave was fired from his job, so I’ll make you pay back!”“You know what? You’r
After eating, Liza was unable to get close to Zion. Her cousin was like a gecko and didn’t leave the man. It was almost sitting on Zion’s lap when they were sitting in the living room.“Zion, what is your plan after Alexa’s graduation?” Simon asked.“We’re getting married again, and this time it’s in the church.”“That’s good!” Simon replied delightedly. “How about your family?”“They just got home from vacation. I’ll talk to them about visiting here.”Liza was once again jealous of her cousin, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law were not just ordinary people because Zion’s parents were obviously rich and touring around the world. If she had been able to get her grandfather’s wealth alone, she could do the same trip.Zion and Alexa went to bed early and woke up early. They need to go home and change clothes before going to work.“Babe, I’ll go to the office later. Are you sure you’re okay going to work now?” Zion asked as he combed his wife’s hair.“Don’t worry; I’m not going to b
“Why did you suddenly rush here? Is there a problem?” Charles asked Mr. Zoe.“Mr. Chairman, I’m sorry for my sudden visit. I just want to personally let you know what your son is doing wrong that can affect his reputation as CEO in the company.”Charles’s forehead wrinkles, and so did his wife’s. “What do you mean, Mr. Zoe?”“The news has been spreading about your son’s obsession with a lowly kind of woman.” Zoe looks at the chairman directly in the face.“Low class? How do you say she’s a lowly girl?” Charles challengingly asks the man who is almost in his age.“She has no manners and is destructive. She has no degree and grew up in the street.” Zoe replied in a seemingly angry tone.“Mr. Zoe, the degree is not the basis for being a low-class woman. We can’t even underestimate a person just because they are from a poor family. I have never seen anything wrong with that, but no manners?”Zoe was surprised by what Stella said and was embarrassed by what she had first said. But when she
“Jerry, that’s not true. She just came and—”“Don’t you remember what I told you to tell me right away when Ms. Alexa arrived?”Jackie bites the inside of her lip’s skin. For Jerry, she was already upset; what more if it came to Zion? No, it shouldn’t. She could not accept that Zion would be mad at her in front of this woman. “Jerry, she wants to wait for Zion to finish the meeting.”Jerry looked at Alexa with a questioning look, but she made him feel sorry for her. He glared at her in his mind; when this woman’s face was like this, he knew she just wanted to annoy Jackie. “Ms. Alexa, you can go inside.”Alexa smiled at Jerry and returned to the chair. “I’ll just wait for him to finish. I have to behave for my husband to love me more.”Jackie looked away from the woman annoyingly, and she was really showing her that Zion loved her. She sneered secretly, knowing that the time would come when Zion would get tired of her. A few minutes later, Zion came out of the office with a lady guest
Charles was shocked when he met Alexa outside the elevator. Well, his wife couldn’t wait to see their son later; that is why they rushed here at the company.“Grandpa?” She called the man, even though she wasn’t sure if the person in front of her was the same old man she helped in cleaning.Stella wants to hit her husband, and he looks like a teenager who said ‘hi’ to the woman and even waved at her.When she heard the old man’s voice, Alexa smiled. “It’s really you, Grandpa! Look at you now! I told you that you look younger when you get dressed properly.”Stella wanted to raise an eyebrow, and the woman praised her husband genuinely. If she didn’t just call her husband an old man, she would think she was one of the women who still liked Charles even though he gets older.“Thanks, hija, the truth is—” Charles couldn’t finish his reproach, and Alexa suddenly turned her attention to his wife.“Is she your wife, Grandpa? She’s so beautiful, and she has a resemblance to my husband!” Alexa
“I think that bitch had something to do with the trouble along the way, so you couldn’t get here. Look at her; she was so confident that she would be with Zion as he climbed onto the stage.”Alexa smiled at her cousin. She could feel her frustration with Jackie. “Let her go, and today will be the last day she hopes for Zion.” She even patted her cousin on the shoulder.Liza was still frowning while fixing her cousin’s messy hair. Fortunately, she had a makeup kit with her, so she retouched her face, which was almost covered with sweat.“Zion, are you okay?” Jackie asked the man, sounding concerned.“Are you nervous, brother, because sister Alexa isn’t here yet?” Jenny asked as well. But she was calm because Alexa had texted her earlier and said she was close.“I don’t think she’ll come because she’s shy. Even if I were in her position, I might not show up. Her life status doesn’t suit someone like the CEO,” Jackie said; it was as if she looked sad.Jenny quickly grabbed her brother’s
“You can leave the child with us as you wander around the world,” Stella reasoned.Zion clacked his tongue; he couldn’t tell his mother that he didn’t want to be that way—that he didn’t want his son to be like him, who grew up without his parents, and that his children’s feelings might hurt. He wants to take care of his children with Alexa, hands-on.“I want to have great-grandchildren too.” Simon’s tone sounded excited as well. “By the way, you can choose a villa that you want to make as your resthouse or your home. Your inheritance, hija, has moved me to your name.”“Grandpa, I don’t need my inheritance anymore.”Liza and Joan were shocked, staring at Alexa, for she was refusing to take her inheritance.“Hija, it’s really for you, and I can promise that—”“I don’t want to have my own money, Grandpa.” She looked at her husband, and she couldn’t continue what she wanted to say.“My wife doesn’t need that anymore because I can provide for her with my money. She wants to just give it to
“Alexa, where have you been again? Don’t say the CEO is ordering you to do something because we know he is not around and he is with Jackie,” Daisy interrogated Alexa.“Yeah, he’s not around, but he left me a lot of work to do,” Alexa reasoned. They know that she is helping the secretary when she gets to Zion’s office.Loida looks at Liza. It seems that she doesn’t care and didn’t mind Alexa anymore because she couldn’t see any reaction from her friend.“Work hours, the chat is enough!” Jessa said to those who were there.Alexa smiled and ignored the person who was jealous of her. As she looked at her cousin, they exchanged a smile.After work, Alexa went straight to her grandfather’s house. Jerry sent her home, and Zion would be with his parents, who were coming to formally talk to her family.“Liza, why did you and your cousin suddenly become on good terms?” Joan wonders to her daughter.“Mom, I don’t want to compete with Alexa, and I’m just embarrassed. Let the crown on her.”Joan
Alexa stopped talking when her husband kissed the back of her palm. She cried as she embraced him. “Thank you for loving me!”“Do you believe that I love you?” He teased as he gently caressed Alexa’s hair.She nodded as she sank her face between Zion’s neck and shoulder. She believed in him even before. She just didn’t take it to heart because she was afraid that his feelings for her might change immediately. She is also afraid that he will get tired of her naughtiness.“I love you even if you are the most naughty. I love you for what and who you are, so don’t think my feelings for you might change.”She quickly lifted her face and couldn’t help but shed tears. “When you leave me, I will bewitch you!”Instead of pitying his wife’s appearance because she was crying, he laughed at her. He laughed out of joy. Before she could cry even more, he hugged her tightly. “Even if you try all the love spells against me, I’m okay with it.”Alexa just burst into tears because of her husband’s joke.
When Jerry opened the door connected to his boss’s office, he slowly pushed his head through the small ajar of the door. It was as if his eyes had a laser looking at what Alexa was doing. His neck grew longer when he saw the woman sitting pretty as she was eating shrimp. His look moved to the table, and his eyes widened; lobsters’ and other shrimp’s skins were scattered there.“What the heck! It looks like she consumed all the food for God’s sake.” Jerry was talking to himself.Alexa quickly lowered her feet to the table when she noticed Jerry.Jerry suddenly opened the door widely, and he smiled while approaching the woman. “Ms. Alexa, aren’t you angry anymore?”Smiling, Alexa shook her head and showed Jerry the picture she saw in the group chat.Jerry’s eyes widened as he saw the picture of his boss and Jackie. He held his chest and looked like he was about to jump into his cage because of the nervousness. Maybe this time, Alexa will walk out. And his tiredness will surely double in
“Babe, you’re not eating yet!” Alexa chased after her husband when he left the office.Jackie quickly stood up. And her eyes widened when she saw the anger on Zion’s face. And Jerry opened his mouth full of food while looking at the two chasing.“If you don’t trust me, you will eat alone there.”Jerry almost spit out the food in his mouth when he heard what his boss said. But he quickly swallowed it even though he was about to choke and immediately stood up to prevent the man from leaving. “Sir, please calm down. Whatever the misunderstandings between the two of you, you should talk to each other calmly.”“Let him go, Jerry! He’s guilty; that is why he’s angry!” Alexa said tearfully and turned away.Jerry was left speechless and didn’t know who to advise first between the couple to get them together.“Am I the guilty one now?”Jerry’s eyes flickered as he watched his boss intently. It was as if something was wrong with him. He also wanted to ask the man if, since when did he become se
Jackie smiled even more when she read Liza’s message. She had surrendered, but she still managed to destroy Alexa’s trust in Zion. Nice job, she thought. Plus, Liza and Alexa also obviously hurt each other physically; that is why the latter looks so messy.Jerry was restless, and from time to time, he was watching over Alexa, who was alone in the office.“Jerry, what happened to Alexa?” Jackie asked, sounding innocent, and peeked into the door.“I have no idea either; I just caught her and her cousin having a fight earlier,” Jerry replied almost in a whisper.A ‘you-deserve-it’ smile formed on Jackie’s lips again. Now that Alexa and Liza have ruined each other, she’s the one left.In their working area, Liza quickly spread the news when her colleagues interrogated her. “I’m sorry, guys, the CEO is not really courting me. I’m not in Ms. Jackie’s level to rob Zion from her.”The employees darted Liza a doubtful look. It is true that Jackie is the one they know as the CEO’s girlfriend. T
“What do you need?” Alexa asked when Liza refused to leave her way.“Can we talk?”The look that Alexa had given her cousin was doubtful. Suddenly, she became gentle, and the rudeness in her face’s aura was gone.“You two, come out if you’re feeling well,” Liza ordered Loida and Dina.The two rushed to obey and did not want to be involved in whatever the trouble was between Alexa and Liza.Alexa stared at her cousin impatiently and waited for her to speak when they were the only two left in the bathroom.“Listen, I’m sorry.”Alexa’s eyes widened slightly, and her look at Liza was examining. Her head tilted, and she seemed to be observing Liza’s head and back as if there were an angel’s wing and crown that were growing on her.“I know you will think about what happened to me, and I suddenly became kind to you. I also understand if you do not believe that I am serious and sincere.”“What is the reason, and why are you apologizing to me right now? Are you ashamed of what you are doing, a
Alexa approached Liza and Loida when she saw her cousin eating as well. “What does the food taste like? Is it delicious?” she asked in a whisper.Liza was forced to swallow the food left in her mouth before smiling at Alexa. “Try it so you know what it tastes like.” She handed a box to her cousin.Alexa shook her head hard and turned herself away. “Thank you, but that’s from your suitor, so you should just eat it alone.”Loida’s gaze shifted curiously between the two girls exchanging conversations. When she saw Alexa refuse what Liza had given her, she approached her annoyingly. “You’re such a fussy! My friend is giving it to you nicely.”Everyone was looking back in Liza and Alexa’s direction because of Loida’s loud voice.“Liza, don’t force yourself on her. She’s jealous of you again because a CEO is courting you.” Loida even intended to raise her voice again to humiliate Alexa.Liza smiled at her friend; this is what she likes about her. She was very supportive of her and believed
