Unrequited Bride

ALEX MANSION** The few maids in the dining room lined up professionally, neatly dressed in their uniforms. Two maids were serving Alex and they tried their best not to make the slightest mistake or else their job would take the risk. He sat legally on the chair, an expressionless look on his face. They finished serving him and they stepped away a bit from the table, they folded their hands, watching as he took the cutleries and started eating. They dare not leave until he is done eating up. That's the solid rule for all of them. He made no expression whether the food was good or not, he kept eating while the maids watched on. Some of the maids were shaking nervously on their spot but they did not dare to show their nervousness. Alex suddenly dropped the cutlery and stood up, pushing the chair behind him. "You all can leave" He said. The maids bowed at once and walked out of the dining room leaving only the two maids who served him earlier. He left the dining room and they started clearing the table. He walked upstairs and immediately he entered his room, a guard followed him behind. "Your suit is ready" The guard bowed. Without giving him a reply but the maid knew what to do next. Alex sat down and he started first with his hair, she trimmed it with the brush and styled it just as he wanted it. "You look so handsome" The maid told him after finishing up with his hair. "Get out" Alex said with a stern look. The maid bowed and walked out immediately. Even with the stern look and cold aura around him he still remains handsome and gorgeous, with his perfect masculine features. It took him forty minutes to dress up, a grey silky suit with many designs, he is rocking fire in it. He walked out of the room and immediately he got out, his secretary was already waiting for him. "What are you doing here?" He asked straight up. "You didn't check your phone?" Lydia asked. "And what is with me checking my phone?" He asked. "You are having a shoot today with magazine tech by 9" Lydia replied. "What is the time now?" Alex asked. "20 minutes to 9" Lydia replied. "I'm having a meeting with my dad, so postpone the shoot" Alex said. "But sir the agency.... The guard opened the door and Alex entered the car before Lydia could wrap up her statement. The car drove out immediately and Alex heaved. "How the hell do these agencies keep up with him, hope I won't die one day, his ego is too much" Lydia muttered and got in her car. The beauty of her steps alone glorified the stairs as her shining expensive black shoes blessed it as she walked downstairs. Her captivating beautiful face held an addictive smile and one of her hands held her gown as she got to the living room. She lives alone with no maid, it's surprising that she loves doing everything herself. She can cook, clean the mansion up despite the fact that her father was one of the richest men in the whole city she never got a maid for herself to do the cleaning. She got a call from her father to meet in the family castle and she's s going there right away before going to the company. Looking for a simple and kind creature, Carissa is the one. Her workers love her so much, she's always kind and friendly with them. Immediately she stepped out of the mansion, her maids started greeting her. "Good morning ma" Their voices came. "Morning to you all" She replied with a smile and a maid opened the door sharply. She entered the Lambo and the door was closed back. The next that was heard was the sound of the Lambo leaving the mansion. The door opened and Alex came out of the car, he held his briefcase as he started walking inside, sparing no one a glance till he got to the living room where the family was already waiting, his two elder brothers and his parents. "Dad, mum" He greeted and sat down. "We are invisible right?" The eldest son asked. "I can decide to term you both invisible right? What is up with that?" He rolled his eyes rudely. "Dad... "Not now Dave" Chairman Henley cut him off. "Dad can you go straight to the point, I postponed a shoot to be here" Alex said. "Manners" Chairwoman Henley scolded. "Whatever" Alex rolled eyes. "You are getting married tomorrow and your suit is ready, you will be checking it out today, 4pm" Chairman Henley said. "What!!! Wait, you are joking right?" Alex stood. "Does he look like a joker? You are getting married tomorrow Alex" Iris said. "What?" His eyes widened. "You are getting married to Carissa Maynard" Chairman said and the length of his wide eyes increased. He started laughing immediately, moving from a spot to another before stopping. "You guys must be joking seriously, I'm not in for this prank, how could you guys planned a darn marriage without my knowledge and not only that with the woman I hate so much, I'm not marrying any f**king Carissa" He shot. "We are out of here dad" His two brothers stood up and walked out. "You don't have a choice here, it's either you do it or you will lose everything" Elena said. "Mum, you are threatening me" he shouted. "Try it and you will be step down as the CEO of Vinance holdings LLC, your brothers hate you because of that position but we gave it to you, now it's your choice" Chairman said and Alex stood speechless, he so much value that position, running his father's biggest company while his brothers runs the sub, he can't allow them to take over, he is always the perfect one. He has only one option and that is to accept it. "Giodana spose 4pm to check out your suit" Chairman said and started walking upstairs with Elena. "F**k everyone, argh!!" He screamed, scattering his hair.
