"That's for me to know and you to find out."
I raised my brows and he smirked.
What was he planning?
Was he...
My thought was broken was when he started to move his head closer to mine, his lips three inches away from mine. I smile and used my hand and turn the lock on the door and push. He was too shocked to respond so I quickly got in my room and close the door behind me leaning on it.
I heard him chuckle.
"You will pay. You will." He walked away from my door, but I didn't move. His words rang in my head.
You will pay. You will
But how?
.......
It has been six days since the event and Alexander still hadn't made me 'pay' as yet, in fact, we haven't seen much of each other since. He went to Canada because of some big deal and when he came back, he was busy locked away in his office. I didn't want to bother him, so I spent my days playing with Henrique like I usually do.
I was completely and hopelessly in love with my nephew.
Who wouldn't be?
He was a bundle of joy and a box of cookie and cream ice-cream.
Just the thought that Alliyah had the nerves to just leave him like that made me angry. Couldn't she see he was a gift from God?
No.
Alliyah only cared about Alliyah.
She left Henrique with his brother, not even his father.
Didn't she think about the consequences of her actions? She knew how it felt to grow up without a father even if it was only for a short time. Why would she want Henrique to miss the opportunity of having a mother?
She didn't think out the logical consequences of her actions. She didn't think before she slept with my fiancé. She didn't think when she spelt with his father who was a married man. She definitely didn't think to use a condom when she slept with a married man.
People always say that you should forgive and forgot but it was so damn hard.
How do you forgive when your own identical sister slept with your fiancé and his father? How do you forgive when she abandons her baby and disappeared?
Who does these things?
"An evil bitch."
I sighed. I had all that hate build up in my heart for the last three years and now it's somehow gotten worse.
I moved my head from the ceiling and turn to the door. "Come in."
The door was pushed opened showing Maria's petite frame, "Buenas tardes senorita. This package was delivered to you."
I pushed myself up and smiled at her. "Gracias, Maria. You can put it on the sofa."
Nodding her head, Maria came into the room and place the big purple box on the sofa. She smiled before leaving me to myself again.
I looked over at the box curious to know what exactly was in there but too lazy to get up.
It was huge and purple with a bow in the centre. Maybe I should look, after all. It's mine.
I pushed myself off the bed and walked over to the box. I pulled the ribbon free the gently but eagerly lifted him the cover.
I gasped as I looked at the content.
I looked down at the black heels and underneath it was something that looked like a dress. A red dress. In the centre of clothes was an envelope. I took it up and opened it.
I laughed as I read the words.
Not much of a writer so I'm just going to get to the point.
Have dinner with me tonight.
After all....we already had our first kiss.
Be ready by six.
Xoxo...Alexander.
I shook my head. At least he tried.
I placed the shoes on the sofa and lifted the dress up.
Wow. It was definitely something the old me wouldn't wear.
I love it!
I placed the dress back in the box then walked back to my bed with a grin on face.
I can't wait to have my first date with Alexander.
...
I looked in the mirror at my reflection and I was amazed by my sight once again. I looked beautiful and I felt beautiful too. Something I wasn't feeling a few months back and it wasn't just the dress, the heels and the lipstick but it was also the fact that I'm happy and I was opening my heart again.
Yes, I got hurt once but that doesn't mean that I'll get hurt again. Alexander was a sweetheart and it's not like my sister was here to steal him from me.
Taking to make this, whatever it was that Alexander and I shared would do some good. I loved this house and everything in it and around it. In the span of two months, it felt like home like I belonged here. I can see how happy Grey is to finally have company. How can I leave when my dog has already started his family here? It would be cruel to take him away from his pups.
Maybe my sister leaving Henrique was not so bad after all. Maybe this was a do-over for the bad years I've had.
This felt right.
I smiled.
This was my second chance at love and I'm praying to God it goes well.
The doorbell rang so I ran down the stairs to answer it since everyone else had gone home by now. I opened the door to see a young girl with dirty blond hair wearing dark jeans and a white blouse that had flower patterns. She wore a leather jacket to protect her from the evening breeze. I looked in her grey eyes and raised.
"Hey, how may I help you?" I asked and gave her a smile. How did she even get past the gate anyway?
