I am sorry, Alexa; I just had to do it. It was at this point that it dawned on me that I was poisoned by the only person I trusted on earth. I fell flat to the ground and I was crawling with my tummy, trying to reach the door. I felt a warm sensation down my legs and when I looked back, I saw blood flowing out of me. At this point, I couldn't tell if my babies were gone. Life was never rosy for Alexa. She agreed to marry Lex for five years but after the contract was signed, life became a living hell for her. She was poisoned by the person she trusted the most. Will she lose her triplet or her life? Here lie love, hate, and sacrifices to be made for the people she loves.
ALEXA'S POV.
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't do this. You are old enough to be my father; you cannot want me to sleep with you.
"Then kiss your job goodbye.
I fell on my knees. My world was coming to an end. I cannot lose my job at this stage. I have a sick mother to cater to, but I definitely cannot sleep with my boss just to keep my job.
"Sir, please, my mother would die if I lost my job. I need to buy her drugs regularly, and if I lose my job, there is no other way I can get money to do that.
Mr Matthew moved towards me, and he stroked my hair with his right arm. He gave me a faint smile, and he smiled in such a way that only one part of his cheek was lifted.
"You are a very pretty girl, Alexa. Allow me to take good care of you; you won't have to work anymore; all you have to do is be my girlfriend, and I will give you the world. I cannot get over your hourglass figure and your firm breasts; I cannot get my eyes off you.
"You are married with three kids that are older than me, sir. Please do not do this.
Mr. Matthew got exasperated at this point; he hated the fact that I didn't agree with all of his advances, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"Get out of my office now!!
"Please, sir, do not throw me out.
"I will call security on you if you do not leave this minute.
"How about my salary, sir? It's the end of the month; at least you can pay me that since I worked for it.
"I am not paying you a dime; get out!!
My heart was broken; I could not believe I was going to start job hunting again. My heart was heavy because I was supposed to deposit at the hospital that evening for my mother's treatment. She was diagnosed with stage four leukemia, and ever since my dad died, I have been the only one taking care of her.
I was walking along the street, hopeless. My phone was ringing nonstop. It was a call from the nurses, and I ignored it because I didn't have any excuse to tell them. The payment for my mother's chemotherapy has been due for two weeks, and I have been coming up with different excuses just so I could pay up when my salary comes, but now I was fired without any pay.
I was in a stage of despondency and quagmire. I was disgruntled because there was no one to run to. I was walking on the street when I saw a sign outside a bar.
"Free drinks for the ladies tonight.
I didn't know I had walked for that long, and when I came to this realization, my feet started to hurt. This was the perfect opportunity for me to relax my legs. I was so tired, and I needed a drink. I walked into the bar, and the place was calm. There weren't a lot of people there, so I dropped my stuff off with the security guy and proceeded. To go sit at the bar.
"Hello, welcome. What would you like to drink?
"I saw the sign outside that says free drinks for ladies.
"Yes, a gentleman paid for most of the drinks and instructed us to give them out to the ladies tonight.
"Great!! Can I have tequila shots, please?
"Sure!!
My order came in shortly, and I started gulping the shots of tequila. I was vibing to the music that was playing. I was pressed at this point because of the alcohol in my system so I went to the restroom and by the time I came back, I saw someone in my seat.
"Excuse me, that is my seat.
"But I didn't see anyone here when I walked in, and there is no name on the seat.
"It is either you are blind or you are a lunatic, because how can you not see my bag beside the seat?
"Your bag? That thing was yours? It looked too cheap, so I didn't think it would belong to a lady like you; I thought it belonged to one of those homeless people, and maybe it somehow found its way here.
"You have such a loud mouth for someone whose nose is like that of Shrek.
"Auch!!
"Yeah, right. You better get up and get out before I call security on you.
"And tell them what?
"You are harassing me.
"My name is Lex Lutherford; what is yours?
I couldn't get my eyes off Lex, and for a few seconds, I was lusty. He was the cutest man I have ever seen in San Francisco, and even though he acted like a bitch, his smile was melting my heart.
"I can understand if you choose not to tell me yours; I mean, I acted like a bitch so it is expected.
"Alexa, my name is Alexa.
"Great! You can have your seat.
Lex stood up from my seat and sat on the seat close to me. I know I said he looked like Shrek, but that was a lie. I said that to spite him. He was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen and for a few minutes, I was lost in his eyes.
"Do you come here often? Because I don't think I have ever seen you here.
" No, I don't go to bars and lounges; this is my first time there.
" Wow! So you are the decent kind; why are you here today? What changed?
"I lost my job; my boss fired me.
"I'm sorry about that.
There was an awkward moment of silence between us. Lex was sipping his whisky while I watched; he looked so wealthy, from his wristwatch to his Tom Ford custom-made shoe.
"What if I give you a better job?
"What? Are you going to do that? That would be so great. What kind of job is that?
"Marry me; be my wife.
"What?
