Chapter 10 Haunting Memories

"Is there anything you want to tell me or should I hand up the call?" Clara asked in a curt tone that startled Alex. How can anyone talk to him like this?

"I will be returning on the evening flight and will be home before 8 at night" he felt so stupid to recite his schedules to her. Who is she? But alas the damage is done already. Her aura is something new to him and he is not sure why he fails to be himself in her presence.

"Am I your maid?" She asked as he widened his eyes at her words.

"You should call Joe and tell him. I don't have anything in connection with your arrival. If you think that I would prepare your food or something like that like a normal wife, I am sorry, I was not the one you were supposed to marry" Clara barked in the call. She knew that he couldn't do anything on the call. Right now, her mood is really bad and she can burn anyone alive with her words. Moreover, Alex is the main reason she lost her rights over the company. So, she deserved to already vent her anger.

Alex couldn't come out from the shock. He gulped the lumps in his throat and wiped the sweat from his forehead. That's too bad. She made him nervous which is like the 15th wonder of the world and there is no way it would come anytime soon.

"Oh, my bad. I guess you are in a really bad mood. So am I" His voice was deep, cold, and whatnot. If she said it doesn't scare her, it would be a plain lie.

"Maybe I should not have left you on the first night of our marriage. I just informed you so that you can prepare well and wait for me tonight. I will be there soon" No matter what, she should know that Alex has the upper hand in this relationship and there is no way she could dominate him. He smirked through his phone and she could very well see that behind the screen.

Clara for the very first time felt that she should be dumb by birth. Why the hell does her mouth always work at the wrong time and so extreme that she has no control over it?

"Is your talk over? I am hanging up now." She sounded very pissed off and Alex couldn't help but chuckle at her. He is damn angry as to how she can behave like this with him and now he is excited to show her what he is.

"Of course. You should take a rest now" He whispered in the call and Clara felt like smashing the phone at least. She cut the call suddenly.

That was too bad. What will happen now? Should she get back to her home? Damn, she pulled a beautiful stunt just in the evening and she knew that she would be burned alive in the home by Elena.

"I will always be there for you if anyone disturbs you here" Frank's words ringed her ear. But can she take his help? What will she say? That his son wanted to celebrate the first night with her. How stupid would she look?

This guy is just insane. Clara should have controlled her anger. Why the hell did she have to snap at him? Her thoughts are clouded with so many things as her phone is beeped with a message.

"Interview?" she mumbled and was shocked that how could she get an interview call just after she applied? The Skyline company. Who doesn't know about them? The first night thing just vanished in thin air as she got excited to get to the interview.

The first round of the interview is just to submit their qualifications and to give an online five-minute test. Clara proceeded with the process and submitted her answers, praying hard to get selected.

The result is out once she submits it. If she gets more than 50%, she is eligible for the second round of interviews. And she got 68%. There is a direct interview two days later. She switched off the laptop with a smile. A good thing happened after a tragic day.

At airport Alex is pissed off as he didn't get his car in the airport.

"It's your punishment for running away right after your marriage. Walk back home" Alex read Rose's message and chuckled. Whatever Rose can do, he can never get mad at her.

He booked a cab to get back to his home. He sat in the backside enjoying the cold breeze.

The car crossed the Statue Museum in the main city, Alex asked the driver to stop the car and was excited to look at the museum. It looked fresh and even now it is intriguing. He touched the eagle statue which was made up of pure gold and its eyes gave a natural piercing look. His legs grabbed him to the back side of the museum where there is a small gate and it has so many locks with names. He bends to the spot which he seems to know for sure. He touched the lock with some initials. A and S with a strong eagle symbol.

Alex felt his heart constrict with pain. He stood up suddenly to leave the place but stumbled with someone and he grabbed the pillar for support.

"I am sorry" Both the people uttered as they bumped into each other but their words died when they came face to face.

Five years. It's been five damn years. Sandy Williams and Alex Fernandez stood there facing each other. The hatred they had was not even reduced by one percent. Instead, they both felt their blood rush to their face in anger. Both looked again at the lock and realized that they both came to see that. Damn!

"Wow, congratulations Mr Fernandez. Heard that you got married" Sandy spoke casually ignoring the anger he was getting from inside.

"Looks like you managed to marry at last. Good" Sandy's words did their best to bring some more anger to Alex.

"But this time also the bride ran away?" Sandy knew to pull the string correctly to make Alex mad with every action of his.

"But I don't have the habit unlike others" Alex's one sentence is enough to weigh all other slanders of Sandy. Sandy fisted his hand with his words. Of course, Sandy was the one to run away last time.

"Anyways, see you soon at my event. I hope you will bring your wife there." Sandy gave him the invitation to the grand event of his showroom which is exclusive for only big- shot people.

"of course, I have a family to come with" Alex replied again with a hint of taunt as Sandy's expressions turned cold. Family? But was it because of Alex only that Sandy has no one?

"Yeah, I totally forgot about your sister, Rose. How is she?" Sandy knew to turn the tables.

"Roselyn Fernandez. Or miss. Fernandez" Alex glared at Sandy showing that he had lost his right to call them by their first name.

"Sir, Madame is waiting for you" a person came running to Sandy.

"Sorry, I have a date. So, see you soon" Sandy waved his hand and left the place

leaving Alex to burn in rage. Why does he have to come again in their life? Why does it have to pain him like this?

Seeing him like this brings no good to Alex.

Sandy crushed the phone in anger. Alex's taunts and words brought so many dark memories. He felt like strangling him alive.

Alex walked to his home with the same soul mood. He didn't even notice the darkness

of his room as he dashed inside as his hand grabbed his tie to loosen his shirt. it's

suffocating like hell.

Soon he was grabbed into a corner with force, making him widen his eyes. Did he come to the wrong place?

"Who is it?" Alex's words died in his mouth when he realized who dared to tie him up.
