ALEX’S POV
I was so furious when Eva came to the garden even after promising me that she would stay away. I wasn’t asking her to do this because I had some selfish interest, was I?
All I wanted to do was protect our baby. Was that wrong? I was even more irritated when she behaved as if she was the one who was hurt.
I was scared that I would lose control if I looked at her. So,
EVA’S POVI felt my face burn. The sun’s heat was scorching me. My body felt stiff and numb. It took me a while to open my eyes and take in my surroundings.“Gosh! Is it already morning? I muttered as I tried to get up. I tapped my foot several times to get rid of the numbness. I wondered why nobody had come to take me back to the Golden Land.
EVA'S POVI sat there numbly for several minutes, too stunned to react. When I could regain my senses, I shook the man lying in front of me.“Liam! Liam! Please wake up, Liam!” I said hysterically, shaking him. “No…no…no…Liam…you have to come back to me,” I said, swallowing my saliva. I rubbed his hands and feet and slapped his fac
EVA'S POVMy heart felt like it would burst at any moment. I have never felt so much coldness and grief grip my heart before. It was as if my soul was sucked out. I never wanted to get up again. I wanted to get lost in the darkness for eternity, but I felt a warm glow pull me back to consciousness.
ALEX’S POV“Please, stop her, Alex…please stop her,” Victoria said as she came running towards me breathlessly. I wondered what Eva had done now. It was becoming difficult to handle her these days. Maybe, she was a bit upset due to pregnancy. “What happened now, Victoria?” I said, rolling my eyes.
ALEX’S POVA month later…I was sitting beside the fountain in the south garden, the one I had destroyed. Tender, green shoots were dancing in the breeze. Mother nature had resurrected the garden once again, but my heart, my soul, can never be resurrected.
ALEX'S POVMy mind was reeling with my father’s words. I could never accept Victoria as my wife. There was love only for one person in my life. Even though she had betrayed me, spread thorns in my path, plunged me into the unending abyss of an inferno. I could never stop loving her. My decision made the moment my father gave me the choices. The only problem was that I was finding it
Two Days Later….ALEX’S POVFor the past two days, I had been ruminating about my decision. Despite the conflicts and plots being laid by other people, I found it impossible to take the decision of marrying Victoria. I had been bugging Victoria, my father, and others to find out more about the curse, but it was all in vain.
ALEX’S POVHeart pounding in my ears, face flushed, I stood there like a statue wondering what I could say or do to make her feel okay about my decision. I couldn’t tell her, ‘I don’t love you, but I have decided to marry you so that I can ward off the curse and avoid confusion. Don’t expect anything from me.’ I couldn’t be so heartless, could I?
