CHAPTER 86

Is She Jinxed?

How can she forget the face of her cousin-in-law when they have met once before?

Alexa bit her lips anxiously hearing the man introduce himself, and she wondered why she could forget his face like that.

Their meeting in the ancestral mansion was eventful, but that doesn't mean that she should forget about him like that.

'Did she really have a distorted memory?' Alexa wondered, but she abandoned her thought as she looked at the man waiting for an explanation.

"I am so sorry for not recognizing you earlier..maybe I was…I don't have an excuse. I am sorry," Alexa apologized to the man, and she decided to leave because she knew the man was trouble and she did not want to get affected by his ways.

"Ok, even though I do not know why you have to forget my face I do not have a common face…like my cousin," Fernando says with a crazy smile.

No doubt that Fernando was a handsome man, but comparing himself to Maurice was extreme in Alexa's dictionary, but she decided to let it go since she was in the wrong by not recognizing the man's face earlier.

'He can brag all he wants. I am not going to stop him,' Alexa thought.

"Ok, I think I will be going now," Alexa says, walking off but Fernando's voice stops her.

He was not going to let the chance of interrogating Maurice's wife slip off like that.

'Let's see what you got, cousin-in-law' Fernando mused.

"What did you think you were doing?" He asked, and Alexa furrowed her eyebrow into V shrimp wondering what the man was thinking and he smiled seeing that he got Alexa confused.

'I love it when she looked clueless she turned me on..maybe that is why Maurice married her' Fernando wondered as he eyed Alexa hungrily, but not enough to get noticed by her.

"I mean you are my cousin-in-law and you are here in the hospital don't you think I have the right to know…are you perhaps sick? Or pregnant?" He asked, and Alexa chuckled hearing his words.

'Not like he was going to get happy if I tell him that I am pregnant' she scoffs inwardly.

"I am neither sick nor panicked. I am also not pregnant," Alexa says dismissively, not seeing a reason to sound polite to the man since she knew he was just being a nuisance.

She also doesn't remember him and Maurice having a good relationship so there was no reason to stand there and respond to his trash talk.

"Don't be so prickly cousin-in-law, I am just being worried, nothing else," Fernando says, and his eyes went to Alexa's sister, who was coming from the other side.

'Her sister is beautiful too…she looks like untouched goods' Fernando thought with a smirk, and Alexa wondered what was making him smile until she noticed that the man was checking her sister out.

"If we meet another time I would be sure to treat you to a meal or coffee," he winked, and Alexa cringed at that.

"I think I will be taking my leave now cousin-in-law, and by the way your sister is beautiful," Fernando says, winking at Alexa and the lady almost reaching for his head and ripping it in anger.

'That jerk!' Alexa screamed inwardly looking at the retreating back of the man.

"Who is that sister?" Priscilla asked, pointing to the man that she thought was cute, and Alexa hissed in frustration.

"No one is just a dangerous man you should never get involved with," Alexa says, and she sighs.

"Oh, a dangerous man? You mean just like the man in mom's room?" Priscilla asked, and a sigh escaped from her mouth.

Alexa shook her head at Priscilla's argument, because she was very sure that man wasn't dangerous at all. He was a devil..and still a devil.

"No, that one is not dangerous, he is a devil himself," Alexa says, with a scared face and a voice behind the two jolting them.

"It's really sad to hear two sisters gossip about you," Alexa heard Marcus's voice, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Priscilla, can you leave us alone?" Alexa asked Priscilla to go back inside, but not without Priscilla glaring at the man.

"Don't you dare do anything funny to my sister if you don't want to go back to that country you just got back from," Priscilla glares at the man.

The two sisters both hate him to the core...but Selina hates him more.

"What are you doing here, Marcus? Have you lost it!" Alexa asked immediately Priscilla left them alone, and the man acted nonchalant to her words.

"What should I do, immediately I was released from prison you are the only one that I could think of… you know you are the only one that I have always thought of," Marcus says, and Alexa hissed hearing his creepy words.

If it was the past she would have blushed furiously at the man's words, but she was different now and she could tell when someone wanted to milk her.

"Don't do that Marc we both know that's not true..you don't see me that way but as a tool that can bring you convenience," Alexa said, remembering the horror incident she almost experienced.

"That's true but even at that I still think of you," Marcus grinned, and Alexa wondered how she got herself with the man in the first place.

Marcus was a senior at school when she was in high school and a year after graduation she ran into him again which led to a horrible experience for her.

"That thing I asked you for..I will want it soon and I am giving you time because of your mother..that old woman looked terrible," Marcus chuckles, but he stops when he sees Alexa's hard face.

"At least mine is better. I am sure she died thinking of how unfortunate she is to have a son like you," Alexa says, and that angers Marcus.

"Hold your mouth b^^^h!" He yelled, gripping Alexa's jaw. "I am going to let you go now since a dead woman can't be of use to me but don't you dare bail on me..you know the consequences," Marcus says roughly letting Alexa go, and she gasps for air.

Alexa watched as Marcus walked off and her look turned grave as her hands balled into a fist, but she knew no matter how angry she was..she was at his mercy.

She decided to go and have fresh air outside since the hallway was suddenly choking her.

Alexa got to the hospital lobby but she was surprised to see Jason walking towards her and she wondered what was wrong with her and bumping into men that morning.

'Was I jinxed or something?'
