Buried Once, Regret Forever Chapter Twelve
Marianna's POVAfter the call ended…For a moment, I simply sat there, frozen.The city lights below the rooftop restaurant blurred before my eyes as those five words replayed in my head again and again.Someone knew I wasn't dead.My fingers tightened around the phone.The casual atmosphere from moments ago vanished."What happened?" Alexander asked quietly.I swallowed hard.Someone called.Alexander's eyes narrowed.“What did they say?”I slowly slid the device across the table.The memory sent a chill down my spine.I lowered my voice.“They told me I should have stayed dead.”For the first time that evening, Alexander's expression hardened.“Did you recognize the voice?”I shook my head.“No.”Alexander examined the number, and saw that it was private and untraceable. His jaw tightened.“Answer if they call again.”“What?”His gaze met mine. “Keep them talking.”“I don't think that's a good idea.”“I know.”The calmness in his voice somehow made everything wors

Marianna’s pov.I couldn’t stop thinking about Rowan.Even after Alexander drove us back to the mansion, the image of Rowan standing before those glowing monitors, studying every trace of my existence, refused to leave my mind.He wasn’t like Drey.Drey relied on lies and manipulation, while Rowan works with patience. That made him far more dangerous.“You’ve been quiet all evening.”Alexander’s voice interrupted my thoughts as he loosened his tie and settled into the chair across from me in the library.“I’m thinking.”“I know.” He answered back, while pouring himself a glass of whiskey. Then he looked at me directly.“You are thinking about my brother.”I sighed.“Is it that obvious?”“Yes, but only to me.”His answers made me skip reasons i wasn’t ready to admit. “I don’t like the way he looked at me.”“He was testing you.” “And?”Alexander leaned back calmly. “You passed.” I frowned.“For now.” He added.Those two words settled heavily inside me.“So he will kee

Marianna’s pov.Later that day Rowan had visited, Alexander told me about how his brother never liked visiting him, “what could have brought him here today” I pondered, just then Alexandar whispered in my ears… “he’s investigating” how he could read my mind at any time is overwhelming.“Brother” seems my house is becoming to your liking, “what a surprise” Alexander teased, just then I came in with two glasses of wine, “I can see that your mysterious wife is becoming more charming each day” “is your wife no longer to your taste? Alexander retaliated. Just then Rowan faced me, I could feel the heat that was coming before me but I can’t show a single weakness at a time like this, how come there’s no record of your past? He asked while looking deep into my eyes, “privacy I guess” that was not the answer he was expecting from me. At this time he could only smile at me and I smiled back too. Alexander was just watching, he knew I could handle this, so he didn’t bother interrupting. “Just t

Alexander’s pov”.It was early the next morning and Marianna was set to go out. “Where are you headed to?, I asked her, she turned slowly to face me, I was expecting a direct answer but instead she said I could join her if I want, there’s no way I could let her go out on her own, she now knows part of the truth so she could do anything at anytime, I needed to be there to stop her from taking any risk. “Am going with you” I said to her.Soon after, we arrived at the Reed’s Headquarters, it was still carrying her name. I watched as she stood across the street hidden behind dark sunglasses and a tailored suit. Her posture was relaxed but her eyes were still sharp. She watched people moved in and out of the glass doors without a second glance. Employees, Executives, assistants rushing with files and phones pressed to their ears. This was her world. “Does it feel different?” I asked her. She said “No” without looking at me. I knew it was a lie, it felt very different, it felt like standing

I was in my private chamber when I heard a knock on the door, Alexander it’s me’, Marianna had shouted. ‘Good morning sunshine” I said while I tried to arrange her hair but she pushed me away, oh jeez! Why are you not putting on shirt, she yelled… Do I have to put on shirts in my chambers ?? You invaded my room unannounced, I said while smiling at her. “Oh goodness! I thought I knocked, am so so sorry, I will go right back there and knock while you get the door once again, she said teasingly while making her way to the door but I held her back looking deep into her eyes, I whispered into her ears ‘cut the drama Marianna”, why are you in my private chambers? she went dumb at the moment, while trying to escape me,she had whispered back in my ears, ‘you have gone insane Alexander” I’ve gone insane for you sunshine, i said while smiling at her but Marianna will not buy that smile, I always thought I was good at manipulating people but she’s got more skill on that

The stare coming from them was unavoidable.At the table, Alexander pulled out a chair for me like a gentleman before sitting down himself, after which we exchanged pleasantries with everyone, Grandfather was not yet at the table so we dined while waiting.The room was quiet at the moment but of course there’s no way Rowan won’t cause a scene, just as I was pondering he broke the silence.
