ALEX'S POV
The only thing I can think of when I laid my eyes on her as she walked in through the front door of my bar was go get her. I made a promise to myself that I was leaving with her tonight, I was taking her home tonight. I wanted her and I always got what I wanted.
I wasn't planning on trying to impress her, it's not like I was looking for a relationship. I was just looking for a one night stand. Pleassure for just one night and it's over, I was gonna move on to someone else. That's just how I did things. 'You are such a useless child. Can't you just settle down and give me a grandchild?' My mother always said everytime I visited her and she asks me if I have anyone in my life right now and I just say no.
My grandfather on the other hand talks about how he keeps seeing death knocking on his bedroom door every night, so he wants a great grandchild before he dies. I just tell him my brother has three children what more could he want, but he just says he wants one from me. If only they knew that most women just want to climb the social ladder and be famous by using my family name. That goes for my brother's wife, Elena as well. The only reason she married my brother was to use the family name to her advantage, and she succeeded. She is living a life she could only dream of back then. Now many companies are fighting to get her to model for their products.
The kids are taken care of by their nanny, she doesn't even know how they are in school whether they are doing well or not. And my brother works in our family company full time so he comes home late and goes on business trips sometimes. So the kids are pretty much neglected. But I don't feel bad for him since I had warned him about her, I'll just mind my own business.
"I see you keep staring at her." My friend josh, asked as he noticed I was looking at her. I just shrugged my shoulders. "She's a widow...she became one today. Not sure why she's here." I looked at him. So her husband died today and she's here partying, wow. I guess I have a shot huh.
"Maybe you should mind your own business. She's probably missing some passion already." I said. Josh rolled his eyes at me.
"Whatever man." With that he walked away. I didn't care what she was, all I wanted was a beatiful night with a beatuful women.
But things didn't go out as planned, while I was a bout to kiss her some woman attacked, and foolish me just froze and couldn't do a damn thing. The look in Belle's eyes, was a look of sadness of sorrow, a look that said 'get me out of here'. When she altered the words 'I am sorry'. My heart broke into a million pieces. No one deserved to be treated like that, I mean no one, absolutely no one deserved that.
I wish I had held her hand and ran out of this bar and took her somewhere peaceful, she deserved that much. But I couldn't I froze like a statue. Oh God I wish I could strangle myself right now and die on the spot, but I couldn't do that, could I?

"Look who finally decided to show his ass here, where is she?" My mother said as soon as I stepped into the family mansion. She was asking if for once in my life I had brought a woman to introduce to the family as someone I was in love with, but she couldn't be more wrong, but there was one woman who was living rent free in my kind for the past two days, Belle, that woman I met at the bar. I wondered how she was doing or where she was.
"Are you even listening to me young man?" My mother asked. I wasn't even paying attention to her my mind was elsewhere.
"Of course I was." Yep that was a lie, it's not like I was gonna admit that I was not listening to her because this woman can be scary when she is pissed.
"Okay, what was I saying?" That is definitely the question I was not expecting now because I really wasn't listening to her.
"Uhm, you were talking about me being single." She shook her head, and next thing she hit me on my head. "Mother!"
"You are such a useless child. You can't even get married to give me one heir, and you even suck at listening. Jesus, are you sure you are even my son. Anyway, I was saying that your brother and sister in law are here." She said with a heavy sigh. She had clearly lost all hope on me giving her an heir.
"That's good, I guess." I said, rolling my eyes at the thought of my bitchy sister in law.
"Look, Alex, I know that you don't like her. But you have to respect her and just accept the fact that she is your sister in law. If you give yourself time to get to know her, you might actually like her." She said with a smile on her face, she was hoping that I would understand, but she could be more wrong.
"No, mother. If you decided to get to know her better then you would understand why I hate her." With that I walked away from her into the kitchen. I opened the fridge. I stood there scanning with my eyes to see if I could find anything that I would actually like to eat. "Ice cream it is." I said as soon as my eyes landed on the strawberry and chocolate ice cream.
I put the small container on the kitchen counter, and opened one of the drawers to find a spoon. I hummed to a none existent tune as I took out a spoon and opened the small container that contained my favourite ice cream.
"Ice cream? Why not eat some real food first?" I cleched my fist as soon as I heard her voice, definitely one voice that made my blood boil. It was my brother's wife, Elena. I was not in the mood to argue with her so I just took my stuff and I turned to walk out of the kitchen. "How typical of you Alex." She said those words when she figured out that I was just going to ignore her, but I still did anyway.
I just walked out of the kitchen, I had no intentions of being in the sane room with her.
