Overreacting

Alexander hissed in frustration as he put down the documents he was reading. Unfortunately, that woman's face was an utter distraction, causing him to read the same line over and over.

Thankfully, a knock at the door distracted him. It was Eric Crawford, one of his good friends and his lawyer. He had arrived with the marriage contract Alexander requested prior.

"This... What is going on, Xander?" Eric questioned as he handed over the contract.

"It's nothing," Alexander replied tiredly.

Eric's face twitched in frustration. Alexander had never liked to explain himself, but Eric needed to voice his concerns.

"First things first, did you know that your Rain Clayton actually topped the recent bar exam? So at least you're not marrying an idiot."

Alexander's eyebrow twitched at Eric's words. Rain Clayton was not 'his', and if he had things his way, she would never be. His heart still longed for Carla.
