The Death of Me Chapter 51 - A messed up puzzle
Alex's POVHer eyes grew wider in astonishment and she said, "Birthday?"A smile curved my lips at her surprised expression, "Yes." I nodded my head, "Today was my birthday."Her lips stretched wider into a gaping grin and her eyebrows arched for the sky. Her eyes lit up as she excitedly said, "Cake?"I chuckled, "That's the only thing you think about, huh?" I shook my head, "No, unfortunately, there is no cake." At that realization, her smile broke down into a heart-melting pout.I ran my hand through her hair, gently stroking it. The smile slowly left my face and a low tired sigh parted my lips, "Can you believe that even your mother didn't remember."For some reason, I hated being alone on this day. I am not asking for much, I just wish she didn't leave.If only she stayed.Her presence alone was enough."Can I tell you a secret?" I said, "But you can't tell anyone." She nodded her head as if she understood my words. The movement of hand paused and I gazed into her eyes, the same o
The Death of Me Chapter 52 - Son of a b*tch
Alex's POV"So, you and doctor handsome were shacking it up yesterday, huh?" I teased Cara as I cut off another piece of the pancake.Her beautiful eyes narrowed at me, "We weren't shacking it up." She said mockingly, trying to imitate my voice."First of all, I don't sound like that," I said, dredging a piece through the pooling syrup on my plate. I popped it in my mouth and for a minute there, I forgot that Cara even existed. God, this tasted so good. You see, that's why you should get married, you can have a good night sex then you wake up and a mouth-watering breakfast awaits you and then you can have a post-breakfast sex and life is all good again.Simple as that."Second of all, I saw you walking with him to somewhere," I added as I enjoyed the heavenly taste in my mouth. Cara's eyes dug a hole into my skin as she chewed on her food, she held up the rolled pancake with her fork and pointed it toward me, "He was only taking me to his friend."My eyebrows creased together, "And wh
The Death of Me Chapter 53 - Pew, pew, pew
Alex's POVCold air pelted my skin as I hurriedly made my way to the car. Anxiety clawed at my throat and spilled into my stomach at the thought that I left Cara in that vulnerable state, with Linda.God, I trusted her in that matter.But since my own father is behind this, her betrayal didn't shock me that much. If my own blood did this, then...well, what's left for strangers?The engine roared to life and I was ready to take off but the car's door opened and Roman got in. My eyebrow raised as he comfortably seated himself beside me and latched the door shut. He turned to me, a frown creased his forehead, "Come on, what are you waiting for?" He said, motioning to the road.I rolled my eyes at him before I placed the car in reverse, backed away and pulled out into the main street. Fifteen minutes passed, all spent in worry and desperation, my hands kneaded at the steering wheel, trapping the anxious feeling prickling under my skin.Once arrived, I got out of the car and into the house
The Death of Me Chapter 54 - A bond, thicker than the blood we shared
Cara's POVThe thunder rolled overhead and rain pattered against the window's pane, knocking me out of my haze. I lifted my head up and listened to the sound of the raindrops as they steadily hit the glass, one after the other, with a constant rhythm as if the world outside was playing its own melancholy melody.My gaze darted away and I continued brushing my wet hair. My movement suddenly paused and I let my eyelids drop down for a second as today's events rushed back with a full force and took a hold over my thoughts.You see, it wasn't just the hallucinations that freaked me out, it wasn't just what I saw, it's what I felt.The fear, the terror, the panic and the anguish that took over my being by just looking at him...The memories that I thought I moved on from, the life I thought I left behind. Today showed me, proved to me, that I am not over it yet, that somehow, I am still stuck in that past.The hallucinations didn't come out of the blue, the drug didn't show me lies, it just
The Death of Me Chapter 56 - Desperate times call for desperate measures
Alex's POVFlames of fear licked through my body, kindling the madness the thought of losing her created in me, and my gut twisted into the tightest knot.What does he want from my little girl?If he wants the baby dead, then what does Lilly have to do in the middle of all of this?"Who did this?" Liam asked the guy, but the young man was already slipping away, the liquid oozing down his shirt took a darker color. Liam shook him, "I said, who did this?" His voice bellowed in the hallway, slamming against the walls and returning back as an echo."Who else do you think?" My voice didn't sound familiar to my own ears; Liam turned to me, his gaze drifting from the dead guy, "It's my dear father, who else would do something like this?"His brow raised before he got to his feet, "Well, I can think of one other person who would do something exactly like this." The words harshly tumbled out, his hand curling into a fist, anger taking over his eyes. It's weird, seconds ago he was the one tryin
The Death of Me Chapter 57 - The Final Battle (PART ONE)
Alex's POV"Hel...Help?" She stuttered, conflict reigned in her gaze, questions, worry, and blatant confusion. Her eyes drifted between us, trying to take it in, her hand plastered against her chest as she asked again, "You...you want my help?"See, even she is surprised."It's Frank," Nikolas said, her wide eyes went to him, "This is gonna include him knowing that you're still alive, but don't worry, it's safe, I wouldn't do anything that would put you in danger."Her legs moved her backward, the force of the news hit her a little bit. She seemed to regain control when she looked at me and lightly shook her head, "I still don't understand."I found my voice again and said, "He has my daughter," I swallowed hard, "And we can't find him, we think...well, Nikolas thinks that if he knew you're alive, he'll show up and that will take us one step closer into finding her." I explained, emotions pushed at my chest and I carried on, "If you don't wanna do this, no one is gonna force you, we-"
The Death of Me Chapter 58 - The Final Battle (PART TWO)
Alex's POV"Can I ask something?"Oh, it speaks.I didn't answer right away, I can feel her eyes on me as I drove us to our destination. Without turning, I nodded my head, ushering her to carry on, although, I would've preferred this drive to be silent."Would you...Would you really do what you said on the phone?" The amount of fear in her voice almost made my chest tighten, "Would you hand me over to your father like that?"I turned to look at her, my brow arched as I asked, "Do you want the truth?" She immediately nodded her head, eager to hear the answer.I looked back at the road ahead of us, "Yeah, I would." I honestly said, "If it wasn't for Nikolas, who I am pretty sure will literally kill me if I did it, but if it wasn't for him, I would've just handed you to him in exchange for my daughter."I felt her shift in her seat uncomfortably, her voice shook a little, "Are you going to do that now?"I turned to her, to see the lone tear streaming down her cheek and I shook my head, "
