Ever since that day at the Organisation Annual party, Alex and I have frequently been keeping in touch, most of the times Alex would sleep at my place and I would do the same as well or at the waterfall house, this felt like it was a dream come true. But with these past few weeks I have not only been keeping in touch with Alex but also with Leo, well its quite different but I feel like I am two timing these two men even though I have been making my conversation with Leo very friendly. The public does not know about my secret affair with Alex but I know soon they will find out, nothing can be hidden from the media. I had planned that today after work Alex and I have a small discussion so as to know exactly where this is leading, I truly like what we have becomešso I can say freely that I am happy.
In my office at the Royal Empire Hotel, Laura my personal assistant came in as usually, I got used to her behaviour, I guess it's because I found comfort in her as she did so to me. "Madam, I am not sure if they are rumors or if everything is real but the internet t is busting with Alex news" I did not bother even giving her my attention, Alex is ofcourse a celebrity, news about him should be everywhere so what's so new. "Laura when is my next meeting?" I asked "Arsinoe!, really won't you even bother to ask what news, he really got you eating out of his palm, he is getting engaged, while you are here unbothered, what happened to You?" engaged, did I hear Laura correct, did she just say Alex is getting engaged. "What did you just say?" "Yes you heard right, Alex Yoshida is getting engaged today, like anytime from now." I felt like my entire strength was swept away, my entire body was weak, she must be wrong, but before I could say anything she showed me the live stream that was still going on. I could clearly see Alex going on his one knee and putting a ring on her, the rest I completely zoned out, in my head I kept wondering what I had just witnessed, because that can't be my Alex, the Alex I love is on his knees asking a different woman to marry his, what was, is this karma or what was it. "Get out Laura!" "Arsi..." "I said get the hell out!" since long I haven't been able to think clearly around people so in situations like this I wanted to be left alone.
My entire body was reacting differently like I was getting sick or some thing, I was very upset I could hardly breath well i felt like I was suffocating, the room felt so small, I started throwing this around thinking maybe it might help. I made a total mess around the office, everything was dislocated and shuttered in pieces, and i could some how find my breath. I fell down on the ground, each moment played itself over and over and over again. Everything was a lie, 'no more secrets' I laughed out loud thinking of those words, I felt cheated and played, my head kept replaying the moment he went on his knees and said "will you marry me?". As I was still fully immense in my own misery my cell phone rang I did not want to pick it up but after a few annoying rings I had to find it. When i found the phone, the phone had already stopped ringing. while I was about to put the phone aside its screen lite up again and his name came up front Alex. Seeing his name on my phone infuriated me even more and i lost my reflex and threw the phone into the wall.
I spent the entire day in my office, I did not leave nor did anyone came in except for Laura.
LAURA'S POV
"Laura what's wrong with Madam, we heard some noise coming from up stairs so what's the matter?" Arsinoe has always been my friend ever since she got married to Alexandrea. When she came she was a very sweet girl but soon after she completely changed, that was after she left with Alexandrea to Country S. she was more quiet not as jovial as before, came back thinner than how she left, its like she had gone through massive torture. she was colder and with blood thirst eyes. she wouldn't let any one in her room untile one day I came in without permission and that's when u found her cleaning her wounds, deep wounds that I knew she can't inflict those o herself. "Get out, I said get out!" but no matter how much she shouted I did not leave, I stayed and that's how I earned her trust. I would clean her wounds and dress them, she explained what went on when they left, and since that day she became my idle. She went through so much torture just to fit in in this world, she did not feel no pity for herself, she just had to be my idle and from then she asked Alexandrea is I could be her assistant nd he agreed. I never supported her when she had the idea of killing Alexandrea but I did cover up for her so many times because she could have been caught, so now that I hear her shuttering into pieces, I feel her pain. I saw how much she loved this man, this was the first time seeing her so happy, genuinely happy after all she had gone through and I could do nothing to help her. When I gave her the news I immediately regretted it but I wanted her to find it from me and not mere rumors since a lot of people at the office had a clue that they might be dating. I stoop outside her office door and I heard how she was breaking down, she was in pain but I had no idea what to do.
