“Sister, when did you get so familiar with Mr. Hudston ” If she was not going to give up then Amelia would neither.
Exposing her and disgracing in this ball would satisfy her long years of anger. Her voice sounded so sweet and melodious to any man's ear like a gentle maiden.
Alexa kept her posture and added to It a dazzling smile. It was very impossible for one to distinguish between the two models.
One with a charming, arrogant and glamorous body while the other, gentle, meek on the outside but a white lotus on the inside.

“I thought you disregarded over the years, how come shame didn't eat you up when you called me sister?” She mimics her. Ameliaalmost spat out. She cleared her voice and spoke again.

“Haven't we talked about this? I was wrong over the years, you don't need to keep a cold shoulder to me. ” Alexa stressed further and then faced Ray.
His full attention on Alexa. His eye level did not move an inch from Alexa.

“Mr. Hudston, I hope my sister has not been a bother to you. Most of the time, she is a little arrogant and stupid.”
Amelia gleamed as Ray's gaze moved from her and focused on the lady who just spat out nonsense about his woman.

“Miss Parker, how dare you soil my wife's name in front of me?”
WIFE! He just said it out loud and gathered all the elite's attention. No wonder they wore matching dresses!
They were showing off their relationship in public. Some smiled while the others frowned and cursed.
Surprised by the sudden declaration, Alexa pinched him.

“Wife?” Andrew asked dumbfounded. He was struck in awe. He was married? How is that possible?
There were rumors that the young boss was a gay and hated women of different shapes. All over the years, no one has the audacity to even come close to him or seduce him, yet, he called his niece as his wife!

“I didn't mean it. I just.....” Amelia stammers and balls her fist. Here she was thinking of gaining favor from Ray while her sister already got him and had the audacity to marry him!

“We all make mistakes, don't we? Please do not be offended ” He cleared the seemingly choking atmosphere and dragged Amelia Out of his sight.

“Let go of me! This is not fair!” Amelia Cried out when they had moved far away from the two couples. She itched the red spot on her skin and glared at her father.
Is. life gonna be tough on her from now on? Such bitch got more upper hands than her!

“What is wrong with you?! That was the big boss you spoke rudely too! With a snap of his finger, we will not be living again!”

“So is it my fault? Of course! It is always my fault! You never throw blame at your illegitimate child! ” Amelia yelled back at him. She had kept the truth she heard for the last nine years in her heart.
She did not really think that her father was that shameless to marry Alexa's mother just not to make her sad.
Amelia hated the fact that they now share everything, both father and half look. She needed to get rid of Alexa as soon as possible!

“Can you just shut up?” He landed a hot slap on her right cheek. Her face tilted to the left. She held the slapped cheek with anger.

“You dare to slap me?! Dad, I'll hand it over to you. Not only did you deceive my mother in sleeping with you, you went to another woman and impregnated her! Good for you, ” She stammers and her pupils turn even more black.

“Be careful with your words! She has a lot of support and if not careful, we will be in trouble!”

“As well as I thought, you only care about your asshole dick!”

“But remember this, I will make your life a living hell!” She snickered and left the party.
Amelia took her purse and belongings and left the party angrily. Her dad dared to raise his voice and slap her, all this treatment she got today, she must make sure Alexa had triple of them.
............
“Ma'am your drink ” The waiter kept the drink on the counter. Alexa collected the drink and felt nauseated. Her stomach aches as she grabs it. She turned to where Ray and his colleagues chatted about business and shook her head.
Looking for a toilet, she left the hall to the outside where she bumped into Arya.

“I did not know you would come, ” Arya angrily laughs as she sees drops of sweat on Alexa's face.
She smirked more when she found out the drug worked well.

“We will settle scores later, ” She said with her hoarse voice. Her hands tremble and so do her feet.
Her mind went all blank and her vision blurry. She could not pinpoint the particular drug she had taken but she knew it was not an ordinary one.

“Scores? We are not yet even. You stole my part! Destroyed my career! It is not yet over!” Arya grabbed her hands harshly.

“Let go of me!” Alexa struggled from her grip. The drug did her no good and she needed to get to Ray.

“Why should I? You play dirty, why can't I play dirty?” Arya's eyes scanned through the outside.
A huge pool with chairs and a diving board. Arya smirked as she pushed her into the pool.

“Get up already! It is not that deep!” Arya called out when she did not hear any voice from the pool.
Her eyes widened as a floating body was on top of the pool.

“Alexa? Stop playing now!” Arya called again and ran away when she heard footsteps.

“Alexa? Stop playing now!” Arya called again and ran away when she heard footsteps.

“Where is she? She could not have disappeared like that!” Ray indifferently said. Alexa was right there before he left and now she was gone without a trace. Fear gripped his heart when all his men told him she was not around.
He heard little arguing around the pool side and ran outside. To his dismay, huge blood replaced the pure fresh water in the pool.
He dropped his jacket and dived into the pool.

“Alexa, Alexa ” He tapped her face. The whole commotion attracted the elites attention and they came out to be what went wrong.

“ Don't just stand there! Get the ambulance!”
...............
In the hospital.
“What Is wrong with her?!” Gabriel shivered with his murderous aura. He had never seen the big boss like this for some years.
Sweat drops were seen on the doctor's face. They all were scared of this new attitude.

“Take it easy. She has been removed from the danger zone and the baby is fine ” A brave doctor said while others moved backwards.
Ray's face was not pleasant anymore. Everyone in Beijing knew that the big boss was not one to mess with and the anger on his face meant that they would all die if they did not speak out.

“Why is she not waking up? Are you joking with me!” His first took hold of one of the doctor's neck and pierced his sharp nails right into his neck.
Blood spilled on his blue tuxedo and his nails. Other doctors including the brave one all shook in fear.
He had just killed one of their colleagues with his nails. What more could he do to them.

“Boss.....” Gabriel restrained him from taking his anger out on them. He pitied the dead doctor on his knees, he just died for no reason.
He knew that when the boss is at this stage that only killing could satisfy his demands so there was no surprise to him that a person was going to die.
Ray turned to him and Gabriel led him into the ICU unit where Alexa laid. Her whole body tubes were connected to it. Her fingers all tied up and her nose with an oxygen mask.
Her skin was pale like a frozen fish. Seeing her like this made him break apart. All this was his fault, he could not protect her well.
He walked silently to the bed side and put his hands over her chest. Not a single best was heard.

“They said she was in a coma ” Tears sipped through the boss's face. “Why can't I hear a heartbeat?”
He fell on his knees and held her fingers to his mouth. Gabriel stood frozen at his abrupt behavior. Did tears just come out from his eyes?
He was shocked to death that he could not move. It had been a long time since Ray cried and this was the first time he saw him crying for a woman.

“Boss, she will be fine ” A knock was heard as Gabriel woke up from his half conscious state and opened the door. His personal doctor walked in.

“Let me see the girl ” He removed Ray's protective hands from Alexa and examined her.

“The baby is fine but she is stuck in some trance. Did she have any trauma before?”

“Yes she did.”

“Which was?”

“She is afraid of water when it is in big quantities ” Gabriel answered all of the doctor's questions.

“Then it is probably what she is in. It takes months, days or even year's for her to wake up. Take care!” He patted Ray on his shoulders and changed the drip.

“Is there not a specific drug to fasten it?”

“There was, but such a drug has gone into existence. All you need to do is to stay by her side. Someone joyful and she enjoys his or her presence. If any changes happen, you have my number ”
With that he left the hospital room.

“Go get Yan Valerie ” He instructed Gabriel and he left the room.

“Whoever did this to you will pay!”
.............
In Valerie's apartment.
“Coming!” Valerie ate the last bite of her chips and scrolled through her phone when she heard her doorbell. She opened the door and to her surprise met someone she did not want to meet now, Dunlop Gabriel.
In the past, they both had some misunderstandings about each other.

“Mr. Dunlop, what are you doing in the late hours and at my house?”

“You are needed in the hospital. It is an emergency!”

“Why?”
