A Coincidence
Alexander’s POV
She seems different from the other girls though, but I was still adamant about remaining married.
Then I remembered that I hadn’t checked her documents, I had Gary do a background check on her before our wedding but I still haven’t read it.
I walked towards my desk and saw the documents on the piles of books on my tables.
I sat on my cushion chair, with my legs crossed, I opened the seal and started reading.
Amelia Bella Robertson was born in 2002 on the 11th of February by Hannah and Luke Robertson, a citizen of this country.
An ex-student from Thomasville College who studied in the military camp in Algeria, has a close friend called Aditi from the military.
Mrs Hannah died of cancer ten years ago when Amelia was still eleven years of age, her father brought home his mistress and an eight years old daughter, Amelia was never treated fairly in the family, she was a slave in her own home and punished by her stepmom, Marion from the Scott family.
She was sold to Mr Alexander Casper Ron to pay her sister’s medical bills.
At this point, I felt so weak.
She’s gone through a lot, the least I could do was try to tolerate her.
I was so lost in my thoughts when my phone vibrated.
My dad was calling, I answered the call.
” Hey son”.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
” Good day Dad” I greeted.
” How’s my daughter-in-law doing??” He asked, just then I heard some noise from the other side as if my dad was in an argument with someone.
And then, the other side remained silent, and then a voice came through
” Alexander dear”
It was my mom, she might have been arguing with my dad to talk to me, she always had a way of doing things, so my dad was submissive toward her.
” Hello Mother” I greeted her warmly.
” Where’s my daughter??”
So close already?? I raised an eyebrow.
” She might probably be in her room right now,” I said calmly.
” Probably?? That is… you aren’t even sure”.
“C’mon Mom, she’s not a kid”.
Just then my dad’s voice followed.
” Son, no matter how you see it, I’d advise you give her a chance, she’s a nice and caring girl, hard to come by but you treating her like this is so…. unfair, that’s not how a husband treats his wife for Christ sake, love and cherish her, I promise you’ll be the one benefitting from it, so I know you think all women are gold diggers but trust me when I say this girl is good”.
I secretly rolled my eyes, if only they knew that the said daughter-in-law didn’t need a chance but cool cash.
My dad kept hammering words to my ears, advising me until forever.
I saw reasons with him though but that didn’t change my mindset I made a mental note to let her be.
After the call, I walked downstairs and saw her sitting on the floor at the back of a cushion as if trying to spy on something.
I creased my brows as I walked towards her noiselessly to see what she was up to, she was just there in a kneeing position at the back of the cushion, from the side, she leaned her head towards the side to see what she was looking at,
She was so engrossed and that pricked my curiosity.
I walked to her back, bent a bit on top of her, making sure our bodies didn’t touch not to make her aware I was leaning on her in such a way.
I stretched my head to see what she was looking at and saw that she was trying to pet my dog, my dog wasn’t fun.
It was a dog that looked like a panther, he had long fangs and claws.
It seems like Amelia was trying to befriend him but he wasn’t buying any of her tricks
” Hey, want some bacon?? Breads??” She said as she took some pieces of bread close to him, but the dog just growled at her without turning to her not even once.
She was all sweaty at this point.
Why was she trying so hard to befriend my dog??
I facepalm as I shook my head, my dog wouldn’t eat such things as bread but she was giving him bread.
I was amused by this scene, I felt intrigued as I watched the scene, looking for what would happen next.
But seems like my luck ran out when my dog turned towards me and started barking while wagging his tail.
I was currently bending on top of Amelia in a rather….. suggesting way.
I was about to get up so Amelia wouldn’t catch me on top of her when she all of a sudden, turned her head up and we met each other’s gaze.
I was so startled that I fell off her to the ground.
But seems like my falling was a much more awkward thing to do.
I was on the floor, with my back on the ground, she crawled towards me and faced me.
We were just gazing at each other, I was literally staring straight at her green-colored eyeballs.
It was so beautiful, so tranquil and calm as if purposely attracting the onlooker to keep exploring them and falling deeper.
I was so lost in my fantasy when I heard.
” Alex, were you checking me out from the back you pervert??”.
Alex??
Are we that close now??.
I frowned when I heard the pervert part.
” Heyy don’t overrate yourself, you aren’t someone I would throw a second gaze at,” I said as a matter of factly but my brain was still recalling how she called me Alex, I liked how my name sounded in her mouth though.
” You better be kidding me right?? ” Amy was so infuriated.
Was I referring to her as Amy now?? Huh.
We were having the conversation with me still lying down, and her kneeling beside me, but this time, she had both hands on my sides as if caging me.
Her head was a few centimeters away from me.
My breathing hitched as I calmly gazed at her.
She was… beautiful.
” You seriously need to work on yourself, I mean you look like a mummy”.
” Hey you motherfucker, bastard Ron, I’ll kill you” She turned to grab a pillow that fell from the chair and started throwing them at my face, I tried to dodge and run away when she jumped on me.
But at that moment, I coincidentally turned when she was about to fall on me, and then.
BAM!!!
Our lips got smashed together in a kiss, and we stared with wide eyes…..
