Enchanted Love

‘Alex smith finally decided to move on. He has announced his wedding date.’ The news column made a ruckus as Edward gasped seeing the column. Alex is surely a rich celebrity whose news is coming every now and then. But he is very cautious in revealing his personal things. He has never even done an interview or given any party to VIPs to come on the news. But his achievements made headlines since he takes over his dad’s company. Edward never thought that he would read such news about Alex ever.

Clara looked to the right side of Alex and her eyes turned suspicious when she noticed his hands locking on another soft hand. The girl behind Alex came to the front with a broad smile, making Clara’s heart stop for a moment. She looked like an angel descending to earth. Her dusky complexion with perfect facial features is the highlighting part. Her style of dress is just worth the whole restaurant for sure. Her toxic smile made everyone smile in anticipation. Who is she?

The most irritating part is his attitude towards her.

“Meet, Anna. My friend. Now my fiancee” Alex’s words were alien as everyone felt the time stop there and the only thing which is moving is Anna’s unfiltered smile.

Time just passes by as no one dares to talk about anything. Edward and Alina slowly looked at Clara who didn’t even blink to show that she heard his words.

“Why are you all silent?” Anna asked with a beaming face that surely glows under the moonlight.

“Did I hear what you all heard?” Edward asked, gaping at the happening.

“I can’t just run behind my ex-wife, right?” Alex asked and just like that Clara’s eyes gave tons of water. How he effortlessly made her cry.

“This is not a joke” Alina yelled as she stood up.

“Relax. I guess Clara has no problem with this. So I hope everyone else is fine with this” Alex’s words made clear that Anna is aware of everything and still she wants to marry this guy. Of course who won’t love to marry Alex?

“Let’s order something?” Alex sat there but not before grabbing the chair for his lady present there. Clara drank her water to digest the scene before her.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“We have a party with only family members tomorrow evening. So I guess you all are coming too” Anna tried to change the atmosphere.

“Nope.” Alina is quick to reply. How cute she looks whenever she replies fiercely.

“We dont usually attend parties where we are not invited” Alina is brutally honest there as Alex passes a smile to his new sister.

“Well, in that case, I am also with you” Alex spoke with a laugh as Anna pouted.

“I told you two days before that I will be announcing our decision to everyone.” Anna reminds him but he shrugged off his shoulders

“Okay, I am sorry. Shall I keep a party to announce our decision if you permit me?” Anna asked mostly in a pissed-off tone. How can he be so obsessed with himself? Can’t she even make a decision of her own? She didn’t like how Alex let her down in front of his friends.

“I didn’t ask you to get my permission. But yeah, it would be good if you at least inform me ahead so that I can get my side arrangements” Alex is always a gentleman when it comes to consoling girls. Anna’s smile again did its magic and she loved the way he respects her.

Clara stared at them to see their so-called chemistry and of course, it is not at all pleasant one.

Anna didnt wait for even a second to pull Alex for a hug. Clara dropped the fork and spoon suddenly as she stood up interrupting their moment.

“Sorry. Excuse me.” She ran to the washroom to avoid any more scenes in front of her. Whatever can happen but the place where she belonged, Alex can’t give it to anyone this soon? Just a week? Is this the time he set for their love?

“Is it a drama?” Edward asked with a large pout. That’s when they realised Edward was silent for this long since the shocking revelation. Alex looked at his friend who is very much hurt by his decision.

“Unfortunately no,” Alex replied still didnt taking his eyes off the way Clara just left.

“I will be back till then, you can continue your interrogation with Anna.” Alex stood up to see what Clara us up to.

“It was not our decision” Anna started explaining how things have turned like this. Alex entered the washroom ignoring the glances of the staff who gasped seeing him getting inside the girl’s washroom.

“Are you crying?” Alex asked as Clara straightened herself. She didnt expect him there to witness her breakdown for sure. She glared at him as she wiped her tears.

“I hurt my eyes” She tried to at least sound confident but she knew that she has messed it up as usual.

“I thought you wanted this only.” He spoke carefully examining her.

“Alina must be waiting for me” Clara wiped her hands and started walking but Alex pulled her harshly as he locked the door with his right hand, startling her.

“My apologies, my efforts are not even a percent matching your hatred. So I wanted to show you what exactly will happen because of your stubbornness” Alex stressed all words together, showing how he was hurt by her stoic expressions. He almost gave up when she didn’t bulge a second. The Clara he knew was not like this. she would melt down with his one effort.

“Congratulations, Mr Smith. I pray that this life won’t be like the previous one. The girl gets all love, respect and care from you.” She spoke with no regret in her voice.

“By the way, if you want to play another game to get back to me, I am sorry to say this. I don’t care if you marry anyone.” Clara snapped those, having her blank face making it hard for him to find out her intentions. She changed a lot with time.

“That’s good. Because I can’t start a new life if you still hold onto the past.” He replied and she could feel his anger behind it obviously. He has not changed even a percent since they parted their ways. He is too transparent with what he feels and what he wants.

Both Alex and Clara reached the table together.

“Anything serious?” Anna asked, showing her displeasure towards their scene.

“Waiter” Alex ignored Anna’s question as he called the waiter to place the order. Edward and Alina had a hard faces and they didn’t order anything for themselves.

“We just ordered starters.” Anna forwards the cauliflower crispy to Alex. Clara had a hard time not seeing their cosy moment and also not grabbing the cauliflower.

“It would be nice if you both spend some time with each other to know about everything” Clara can’t sit back and let him hurt his health for sure. She grabbed Anna’s hand suddenly, startling her.

“He is allergic to cauliflower” Clara snapped harshly.

“Can you be nice to her? Don’t show your anger on the wrong side” Alex replied but his tone was layered with little satisfaction as he wanted this from Clara. Amidst this, Anna started crying, grabbing their attention.

“I didn’t know that we are having dinner with your ex-wife. Moreover, I didn’t know that she would be this rude.” Edward pulled Alina as she almost stood up to grab Anna’s hair. Clara felt her chest constrict with the happenings. Alex sided with this girl and he didn’t even say anything when she accused Clara.

“I too didn’t know that his choice can change drastically. I mean look at his first choice and look at you” everyone gasped at Clara’s words where she didn’t show any remorse. Alex on the other hand was just enjoying the scenery. He didn’t know that he would enjoy it when two girls would fight for him. Can he ask for more?

“His first choice was a failure and that’s why I am here” Anna snapped as Clara looked at her with a blank expression. Alex didn’t like the way Anna spoke with Clara. But can he stop this now? The game has just started and he has no idea to stop it anytime.
