Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Jessica dragged the cheque and tore it in pierce right in front of Xander.

Go to hell with you and your money, fuck you and everything you got, if you think, you could dish me because of Alexia, then you have something coming, you should think twice because I have something, that you wouldn't want Alexia to see, talk more of her father, you should know the prime minister will have your head on a tray for betraying his trust and I wonder what he will do to you.

What are you saying?

Call of the bachelorette party.

I will do no such thing and I know you are just blathering.

See you then. Jessica walked closer to him and murmured. Your doom is coming. She stamped out, leaving Xander in his anguish.

***

Hey, best friend, what takes you so long? Alexia questioned, she had been in the mall for hours waiting for Jessica.

Sorry dear, I was busy, trying to fix my drunk dad.

He is drunk again. Alexia's voice faints a bit as she is walking into the mall.

You know how it is, gets drunk, gambles, and gets into a fight, I get so tired of him sometimes.

You shouldn't worry about him, I am sure, you will find someone special like Xander and you will get off the hook.

Do you think I could get someone like Xander?

Of cause, you are beautiful, intelligent, and well-exposed, every father, will love to have you as a wife to his son and I am sure, someone even better than Xander will find you.

Is there anyone out there that could be better than Xander? Jessica quizzed.

Don't be ridiculous, Xander is not perfect, he has his shortcomings and he is human, even if I pick someone better than him, someone will still be better than that person.

Let's say, between handsome and Xander, who is better? Jessica is cunning and she has a way of getting information from Alexia, the girl that trusts blindly.

Handsome is brave, he is reliable; he is determined; trustworthy, and focus.

What about Xander?

Sometimes, I felt Xander doesn't love me and that, he wants to marry me because he is been forced to, what he felt for me is pity. what if he only wants to get married to me because I told him, I love him and I don't think, he loves me?

You, do you love him?

I do but not until... She stops, remembering Leah's words, "on no account must you tell Jessica that you kiss handsome"

Hey, you are lost.

Sorry, let's just go. Alexia pulled Jessica's hand but she wasn't able to pull it. What is it?

You kissed Beck, right?

Who is Beck? Alexia's voice came up, she look at her, it was obvious that Alexia didn't know that, Beck is the same person, she called handsome. I mean your handsome.

Oh! That was the only word she said, she makes her way back to the coffee shop since they are done buying.

Hey, get us coffee. She said then her phone rang. Excuse me, I will talk to Xander. She makes her way to Jessica to take her call, Jessica was fast, and she pours some stuff into her coffee.

Are you back?

Yes, I think, we should leave, Xander, is asking I come fit my gown.

And the coffee?

Yes, forget about it. Jessica sighed badly as she dragged her out of the coffee shop. She look at the coffee, she would have been able to get what she wanted from her if that stupid Xander, didn't call her.

It's obvious that her plan A had failed what is she going to do?

*****

Hey baby!!! Alexia said and hugged Xander and then kissed Xander.

Hi Xander!!! She made her presence known since Xander is acting like he had no idea of her presence there.

Hi! I didn't know you were coming with her. Beck moves his gaze from Jessica without another word. Come on, the designer is here, you will love the style and if you don't, you could make a few changes to it.

Oh no, wait, I forgot, I need to text Leah, I need to tell her that, we are no longer at the mall, so she should just come here.

Sure baby, let me join the designer.

Fine, I will meet you up. Jessica pulled Xander's hand as soon as she noticed that Alexia is busy on the phone.

Baby!!!

Stop it already, what is this? Xander pushed her slightly from him.

Why are you acting like I am a leper?

You are acting strange, you of all people should know that I am doing this because of my father.

Are you going to divorce her after the wedding? He glare at her, how could Jessica be heartless?

You of all people should know that any girl in this part of the world, that is divorced is regarded as an outcast, no one will marry her again.

Fine then, let's kill her, yes after the marriage let's kill her.

What?

Yes, since my first plan didn't work.

What plan? Xander is trying to figure, out what could have been the plan of Jessica.

Yes, I wanted to drug her and blackmail her with the video but since you are so stupid that, you keep calling like an astray dog, I could do that.

Xander pushed her to the wall. He pinned her with his hand across her chest. If anything happens to Alexia, I will personally kill you.

Kaff kaff!!! She coughed badly as Xander choke her. Let me go. She struggles between his arm, and seeing her eyes turn red, Xander let go of her. So you want to kill me. She held her throat in pain with her eyes red.

Sorry...

Don't you dare touch me, go away, just leave, leave, and be with Alexia, that girl that has been kissing the General?

What?

Yes, she has been kissing the General and I confirms it.

Maybe, it's a mistake. Xander's voice stops her. I know Alexia, I trust her, she will never do that, she will never give her body to someone else.

What? Jessica screamed. I will tell everyone that, you and I have been having an affair. Xander had already pulled the door, of the restroom.

Do you think I am blathering? Maybe, you should see this. It was a video of the two making out, Xander's voice is so clear that he can't deny that he is not the one in the video.

Jessica! He called as he dragged the phone from her hand, with the way he is kissing her and making out with her, there is no denying, why they were watching it, they forget that the door is now ajar and someone else is watching

What? You two bastard.
