Adam Hawthorn sits in the living room, his heart beating fast, he was aware he was working according to the plan he and Olivia had stayed up all night working on, going over it for a long to make certain Alexandra would be moved by their lies and eventually let him into her life. Glancing at his wristwatch, he exhales aware that he had played his part perfectly and Alexandra was definitely going to believe the words he said but little did he know that the woman he was speaking to wasn't the same girl he knew in the past.
Alexandra was aware he was deceitful and scheming so there was no way she was going to let him make a fool of her, at least not anymore.
Catching a glimpse of Alexandra walking down the stairs majestically, his eyes light up and he stands up.
"Alexandra"
"Adam"
"Are you alright?" He pretends to be concerned
"Yes, just had a little headache" Alexandra massages her temple feigning to be in pain.
"I'm sorry" he leads her to the couch
"Is alright"
"Should I get you anything?"
"I'm okay"
"What about water or food"
Alexandra looks into his eyes. "Is alright, what matters is that you are here"
Adams's face lit up, he couldn't be happier knowing that his plan was falling into place, and sooner, he would be able to separate her from Nathaniel's side and then deal with her. He was going to give her a taste of her own medicine together with Olivia.
"Really?"
"Yes Adam, thank you"
"Should I leave?"
"No Adam, please stay, you said you wanted to right?"
"Yes Alexandra I will want to stay close to you"
"How close?" Alexandra looks at him
"Very close, you are more important to me than anything, I can live without being an Alpha but I can't live without you"
"Adam" she whispers.
"That's the truth"
"Your words, I don't know what to say" he runs his index finger on her face
"Say you want to be with me too"
Alexandra smiles. "Of course" she nods affirmatively "Yes I want to be with you, I want to be together with you as well"
"Alexandra" a lot of emotions run through his eyes
"Yes"
"You just made me the happiest person on earth"
"I will love to make you the happiest person every day" she states pretending to be moved.
Falling for his words the second time would mean her death, and Alexandra wasn't going to let it happen. Although she wasn't sure what he was plotting, she knew he was up to no good and if she needed to trap him in his own game, she needed to play along as well.
Adam was playing a dangerous game and so was Alexandra, but she could be ahead of him if she gets closer to him while playing the game he had designed with Olivia. Alexandra was willing to go the extra mile just to make sure she puts an end to them and their all deceitful ways.
"What are you saying?" He asks.
"I don't know how to say it?" She states pretending to be a little shy
"Just say it"
"Promise me you will say yes"
"What is it, Alexandra?"
"Didn't you say you are going to give up your position?"
"Yes Alexandra, I am"
"We will be together right?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I don't care where it is as long as we will be together"
Without having to say another word, Adam holds her hand while still staring into her eyes, they walk out towards the door and Alexandra's eyes fall on Nathaniel's jacket he had forgotten the last time he visited. She had washed and ironed it while waiting on him to come to pick it up in the evening. Remembering the appointment she had with Nathaniel, Alexandra halts and Adam looks at her.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" she smiles but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Tell me what's wrong Alexandra"
"Will we be back before the evening?"
"Of course, I'm taking you to the place where we first met"
Without saying another word, Alexandra wasn't sure if she could continue playing this game anymore for Adam was plotting something Wicked.
"I promise we will be back before you know it"
"Can't we just stay here?"
"We could but then you will miss everything that I already planned for you"
"What's that?"
"Is a surprise, now come on let's go, I don't want for us to miss it" He states stirring her curiosity.
Alexandra pushes the thought of backing out of his mind and smiles.
"You are the best thing that ever happened to me"
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Adam says. "I should be the one saying that" he caresses her cheek causing her blood to boil, but she controls herself hating for her plan to blow up in her face.
Alexandra knew she needed to thread carefully or risk exposing herself for Adam was anything like Olivia, he was smarter, deceitful and loves to win, and he couldn't bear to lose at anything. Whatever he wants he always gets and what he can't get then no one has the right to it and that was the Adam she knew.
"Now I'm all excited, let's go" she tightens her arm around him and they walk out through the entrance door.
