Terrance and Alexia novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1 A Mistress-Like Wife

In New York, Duckdale Villa.

The sky above the mountains was gloomy. Suddenly, thunder appeared and a big rain poured out.

The woman on the bed woke up with a frown. Her black hair fell down to her waist, making her skin even fairer.

“Mrs. Ramsey.” Mina Collins knocked on the door.

“What is it?”

“Mr. Ramsey is back.”

Hearing this, Alexa Duran was shocked.

“Alright, I‘ll be right out.”

She did not dare delay in the slightest and immediately freshened up and put on the set of jewelry that Terrence had given her.

Ten minutes later, Alexa nervously held a report and anxiously appeared in front of Terrence.

Terrence wore a high–end custom–made black suit and sat upright at the dining table, elegantly cutting a piece of Philippe steak

“You just woke up?”

He spoke in a deep voice, his voice magnetic and charming. Even if he just said four simple words, Alexa was fascinated.

“Sorry for making you wait so long.”

“It‘s fine.”

Terrence looked up at her with a deep gaze.

“Didn‘t you go on a business trip for three days? Why are you back today?”

“I have something to say.”

Alexa suddenly clenched her hands and tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. Her hands were sweating.

“Actually... I have something to tell you...”

She stood far away, so her voice was low like a mosquito. Terrence did not seem to hear what she was saying.

Terrence did not answer. His slender finger pointed at the document at the side, indicating for Alexa to take it.

A little closer, the words on the cover suddenly burst into her eyes.

Divorce agreement?

Terrence treated her well over the past two years. He loved her and doted on her. They were a loving couple. Alexa even felt that such a peaceful and happy day would never be affected.

But now, Terrence suddenly proposed to divorce her.

Alexa desperately controlled her emotions so that she would not lose her composure. At this moment, she was right in front of Terrence, but she did not have the courage to reach out and pick up the document.

“The contract says it‘s three years, right?”

Alexa managed to calin down and forced a bitter smile.

“Brynlee is back. I promised her.” Terrence said coldly and indifferently. “It will end one day. The earlier the better

maybe.”

This was the reason why he agreed to marry a girl from the Duran family.

I look Alexa a long time to calm down. Her palm was already red since she pinched her palm so hard.

Everyone felt that she was merely a tool from the two families to unite, but Alexa knew what this marriage meant to her.

Resisting the bitterness in her heart, she quietly swallowed what she was about to say

Soon, the disappointment on her face disappeared and was replaced by a forced smile.

“Mr. Ramsey, congratulate you.”

“Okay.”

He responded in a calm voice, without any emotional ups and downs.

Alexa did not leave immediately, but sat opposite him and asked Mina to serve her a bowl of porridge.

Actually, she had no appetite at all, but she still wanted to stay here.

Perhaps, it would be the last time she would eat with him.

Alexa absentmindedly stirred the hot porridge with her spoon, her expression sluggish.

Terrence sized her up with his cold eyes.

“What are you thinking about?”

Clang!

The spoon that was suddenly released hit the wall of the bowl and made a crisp sound, immediately pulling Alexa back to her senses.

“Nothing...”

“Don‘t lie.”
