Alexander's First Loss

Alexander did not get to immediately enter the room even though he was invited inside.

Because the moment the doors were open, the very first sight that greeted him was an extremely unwelcoming one.

Right across him, sitting beside the king sized bed was Miss Linda, holding the hand of a bedridden old man that Alexander easily judged to be Lord Nolan.

He appeared very thin and frail, with gaunt cheeks and wrinkled skin, fully wrapped up in a velvet blanket and seemed currently to be engrossed in quite an amusing tale with the much younger, and beautiful woman, a thin smile streaked across his face.

It was only upon hearing the door open that the pair chose to disengage their conversation, swinging their heads towards the sound to greet their new guests.

Alexander's eyes blazed with firey hatred the moment the slanted pair of eyes met him, as he recalled the words the woman had uttered just two days ago.
