9. Arrest him
The morning sunlight streamed through the curtains, and Alexander groggily opened his eyes. He's surprised to see that it's already 8:45 am. He'd slept in later than usual. He sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes, trying to wake himself up. But before he could even get out of bed, he heard an angry voice."Alex! Where the hell are my clean clothes?" Angelica yelled, sounding angry. "You were supposed to wash them last night!"His stomach sank as he realized he forgot to do the laundry. He got out of bed and walked to stand by her side, where she was busy pacing back and forth. She glared at him when she saw he had woken up eventually."You're so useless," she said, her voice rising. "You can't even do the simplest of tasks. What good are you to me if you can't even wash my clothes?"He felt his face flush with anger and embarrassment. He tries to explain himself, but Angelica cut him off."Don't you dare try to defend yourself," she said, pointing a finger at him. "You know you messed u
8. Kindness
During lunch at work, when Alexander stood in line, waiting for his food, he felt someone tap him gently on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a familiar face. It's Rebecca. So, she's the delivery woman who brings food to his workplace. She was smiling at him, her hazel eyes shining."Hi, mister," she said, her voice warm and friendly. "It's nice to see you again." She doesn't yet know his name.But still he was taken aback by her kindness. He's not used to being treated with such warmth and respect. He stammered a bit before he managed to say, "Hi, Rebecca. It's nice to see you too"Surprisingly, she dragged him out of the line to a corner and handed him a packed food flask for him. "I didn't stalk you. I just found out you were a worker here" she explained.He nodded, taking the flask from her. "The food is always good. Thank you but why the free food anyway?"Rebecca blushed slightly. She can't believe she's melting in front of a guy "It's to thank you for the past three weeks
7. Ridiculed at the party 2
Alexander, looked around him. People were already having conversations about him. The conversation is full of condescending remarks, and he is feeling humiliated and angry.He took a deep breath and finally agreed to clean up the whole place.After the party, some guests still stayed behind and as he worked on keeping the place clean all by himself, they looked on, whispering and smirking at him. One woman even asked him to clean her shoe, and another laughed and called him a servant. Alexander felt his anger rising, but he forced himself to stay calm. Till when will he keep on keeping calm? The whole ill treatment was just too much."I'm a human being," he thinks to himself. "I deserve respect."Finally, the whole mess was cleaned up, and he made to head home straightaway with his wife, but his father-in-law stopped him."You're not done yet," he says, with a smug look on his face. It used to be better when he was always away. He'd always had a breathing space away from him."What is
6. Ridiculed at the party
Several weeks later, Alexander and his wife were invited to a party. His In-laws got the invite because his father-in-law was amongst the circle of business men. He works as his boss's secretary.Choosing not to ride with him, Angelica dolled up and left earlier. She wouldn't want to be associated with him at the party.When he reached the venue in his old rusty car, he was almost dismissed from the premises were it not for the invitation card in his hand.He finally got in through the gate and was marveled at the gigantic building that was being used for the party. The whole place screamed wealth.As soon as he entered the hall built downstairs for these parties, he froze to a spot. He was putting on the only good piece of clothing he had. The one his friend Wyatt had bought him on his wedding. At that time they still had eachother's contact.Looking at how wealthy and classy everyone was dressed, he regretted agreeing to come. He would have just stayed home but his father-in-law wan
5. Deep regrets
When he arrived at the Rockefeller's, he was hoping his wife would be there expecting his return. Unfortunately, it was just Katherine alone in the whole house. Luckily he got some responses from Katherine.Mr Rockefeller was still at work and would leave work late, Mrs Rockefeller was sleeping over at her friends, Carter was pretty much out drinking and his wife, Angelica living her life...?"What do you mean by she's living her life?"Katherine scoffed then looked him from head to toe "Isn't it obvious? The life you can't give her"Choosing to ignore that, he went on saying "A young woman isn't supposed to be out this late? Where the hell did she go?""Is that how you got these bruises? Because you are a young woman as well and couldn't defend yourself while you were been attacked" Katherine said, a smug look on her face.She was well aware of her brother's plan to beat up the useless man their sister had gotten married to. She stared at his wounded face and smiled. He was sure a we
4. A dangerous lie
Alexander was at work as usual, still lost in thought but this time, his brother-in-law, Carter, chose to grace the whole place with his presence by storming into his workplace."What did you do to Angelica?" he demanded, his voice filled with anger. "She's been crying her eyes out. You son of a bitch! You made her cry."Alexander was taken aback by his accusations. He knew that Angelica had been struggling recently, but he had no idea that she had been crying. And he certainly hadn't done anything to make her cry."I don't know what you're talking about," he said, trying to keep his cool. "I haven't done anything to hurt Angelica. In fact, I've been trying to help her as much as I can. If she's upset, it's not because of me.""That's not what she said," He shook his head. "She told me you slapped her today just because she asked you to get her some shoes online. What kind of husband are you if you won't even satisfy your own wife? And how dare you lay your filthy hands on her?"Alexa
