Chapter 19–– They are here too

 

HANDS UP! WE ARE POLICE, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY AND IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD AN ATTORNEY ONE WILL BE APPOINTED FOR YOU. IF YOU WAIVE THESE RIGHTS AND TALK TO US, ANYTHING YOU SAY MAY BE USED AGAINST YOU IN COURT.

This was what I was expecting to hear but all I saw was a friendly handshake between my fiancé and the police officer who said that they already checked the time I was admitted, and it was clear I never left the house by myself in any situation. The finding of my fingerprint was nothing but a planned trap as there was no way I was there while lying here on the bed.

“Wow.” I said as I looked at Alexander with a look people describe as worshipping because I was worshipping him with no doubt.

He was so cool there.

So CEO!!!

Oh, he is a CEO.

But my fangirling self couldn’t take much sense in, so, I let it be.

“That was why you didn’t go. So, is he killed really or something else?” I said and finally had the food to calm my shouting stomach.

As soon as I ate the first bite, I almost growled because of how my throat hurt but the moment it went down the throat into the stomach, it was so nice that I moaned.

I ate the rest with such sounds that said it hurts but damn I love it!

As soon as I ate the last bite and finally drank water to erase the pain. Ah, life is so hart. Lots of pain before the gain…

“What?” why looking at me so weirdly?

He was staring so intensely at me right now that I can give up my life just to get out of here. These eyes make me want to run away at the fastest speed possible.

“Here.” He handed me a tissue while pointing at my lips.

While cleaning it, he was still staring at me like that, and I thought of the novels.

People call it love but this is debt. A big one at that.

“I want to talk to you.” I said as I finally settled on the bed.

“Sure, I am listening.” He said as he busied himself with packing the stuff brought by Alisha for me.

“You should go home, right away and stop taking ca–” as I was about to speak what I had in my mind but suddenly the door opened, and they are here too.

Alexander’s lovely family and mine, together!

“Mom, Dad.” I whispered in shock looking at them being all friendly with Alexander’s mother while his father not being here.

“Amy, how are you now? I heard about you getting discharged in a day or two. Do you feel good enough to go home? Is your throat fine now? You were always so scared of getting throat pains, you used to make so much noise eating when you were a child. Why did you even take the cough syrup and why didn’t you answer Alexander’s call when he was calling you? Amy why aren’t you speaking?” she started with the lecture so suddenly that for a second I couldn’t speak but then, she didn’t need me to speak anything, anyways.

“Aunty, calm down, let Amy speak.” Sophia said as she came to my side, and I looked at my mom and Victoria holding each other’s hand pretty intimately.

“I am fine and was just heavy headed. I can go home. Mom, you know Victoria?” I said as I looked at their intertwined hands.

“Ah, I do. We were in the same college, and she was my senior and Teacher, the best one out there. Our idol, I wanted to be like her but then you happened and well, you know the rest.” Her words stopped my breathing and I looked at Alexander and he looked at me too.

This is fucked up.

“Get well soon, Amy. Take care of her.” Victoria said and my mom got up with her and said “Me and Victoria are going to catch up with what we missed. You rest.”

I nodded at them and smiled as they left and my dad too smiled and patted my head leaving me and Alexander alone in the room.

“You said break ups happen and people accept them easily because it’s normal, didn’t you?” I said and Alexander looked at me.

“I didn’t know, Okay! It is beyond me to know that they would know each other.” He said and I looked at him and almost threw the phone I was holding in my hand.

“If we broke up ever, it’s going to affect their friendship. Why did I even agree to something this stupid? I should have gone with the kidney selling idea.” I said as I held my head in my hands.

“You are overreacting.” He said and picked up his phone and left the room. I would really believe what he said if his hand wasn’t busy on correcting his collar which was already correct.

Sure I am.

I want to run away, this time really.

I sighed again and picked my phone to check my face to see how many wrinkles I have from all the tension I am suffering.

I wish I weren’t all the clumsy but seriously who keeps a million-dollar vase in the living room. You are practically waiting for it to be stolen or broken.

“Why is she still here? Shouldn’t she be convicted and thrown in jail for murder?!” and I sighed a little too early.

I still have lots of reason to sigh and this contract is least of them but surely the start of them.

"Hi Miss. Gold-digger." I said and looked at Alexander who looked as tired as me. That's why you should never have weird ex's because then, they are your lifetime ex's who won't let you breathe in peace.
