And I smell something tricky in there,” Marcus pointed out as Julian glanced through the contents.His expression deepened before he passed the folder back to Marcus.“Baby, what's happening?” I asked him with concern written all over my face. He shook his head and kissed my forehead.“It's nothing to be worried about. I got this,” he kissed my forehead again before rubbing Julixa's head and turned to Marcus.“My car or yours?”“Are you leaving?” I asked in a slightly raised voice.“Mine,” Marcus responded.“I'll be back soon,” Julian said to me before walking out, leaving me to guess what could be happening.I dropped Julixa on the floor and bit my fingernails nervously.“Is Julian out? I heard a car driving out,” I turned around when I heard a voice. It was Jasmine, she was coming down from the stairs.I nodded before sitting on the couch. She came to me and crouched.“What happened? Did Julian fight with you?” She asked me in a more
Alexandra's POV “No, they don't,” Julian responded with a sullen expression, referring to his parents and my eyes widened in surprise. Even though I expected this response from him. I don't know why I'm still surprised. “It makes sense to me now. I tend to wonder why you chose to be a member of a so-called organization when you have influential parents that can get you to the top,” I said out my mind. “I was young and stubborn, determined and brave. I wanted to do this on my own, and I don't regret it at all….” He paused, turning to face me. My back rested on the bed bunk while he was seated on the edge of the bed. “Not until recently and the stripper thing came up,” he continued, explaining to me how he got to be a member without his parents knowing. I asked him. I heaved a deep sigh and stood up, going to sit beside him. His expression was seldom and I rubbed his cheeks with my palms. “Is there a way for you to back out?” “Yeah,” he responded and I raised a brow. “Really? W
Alexandra's POVA Few Days Later.“Wait,” I stopped Julian, who turned to me with a questioning gaze.“I-I’m nervous. It's not-” “Babe,” he cut me off, holding my shoulder.“She should be the one nervous, not the other way around. One way or the other, this has to be solved. Plus, I will be there with you so you don't have to worry. Okay?” He flashed me a reassuring smile and I nodded with anxiety written all over my face.We were currently in front of his parents’ room. After breakfast this morning, I decided for us to settle whatever that was between us. And Julian was here to accompany me.Taking a sharp breath, I knocked on the door and we were permitted to go in. My heart was hammering in my chest as we entered.His mum was playing chess game alone, I glanced around the room for his dad but he wasn't found.“Wow, sweetie. You came to visit me in my room,” she jolted up from the couch, walking closer to hug me.I hugged her back, my gaze on Julian who smiled.“I just wanted to se
Julian's POV“Come in,” I permitted the person knocking on my office door to enter without gazing up to see the person. I have a lot of work to do, proposals that need my signature and many more.Since Alex's arrival, I hadn't had enough time to come to the company and get busy with work. I wasn't in the right state of mind to add work to my problems.Hearing no voice, I raised my head and found Marcus at the door. The pen I was holding fell from my grip and I leaned into my chair.A small smile formed on my lips before I stood up abruptly.“What's good, man?” We gripped each other into a manly embrace. How can I forget his kind gesture, watching over my company when I was away.“I’m good, I'm good. I expected you to have lost some weight,” he joked and I chuckled slightly, disengaging from the hug.I went back to sit on my swivel chair and he settled across from me.“How is she doing now?” He asked me and I sighed heavily. I recalled our little moment yesterday morning before she sen
Alexandra's POVA Few Days Later. Morning.I woke up late and Jasmine called me to have breakfast with them in the dining room. I had objected but my mum had pleaded with me to join them. I was avoiding bumping into Julian, so his parents.Jasmine and I are cool but his parents seem to be forcing a good relationship with me. And that has been awkward on my own side.“Good morning,” I forced a smile as I entered the dining room. Everyone was present and all chairs were occupied aside from the one beside Julian.“Morning, darling. I hope you slept well?” His mum asked me in an exciting tone. I nodded with a smile as I settled beside Julian.Our hands collided together when I was about to pick a plate. Our eyes met and he had this nervousness on his face that he was trying to conceal.“I wanted to serve you,”“That won't be necessary. Thanks,” I said frankly and picked up the plate. As if he didn't hear what I said, I was about to add some rice to my plate but he had already done that.I
Alexandra's POV“Welcome back, Alexandra!” My eyes widened in shock when I saw the decoration Julian's parents had prepared for me.The living room was beautifully decorated, balloons were littered on the floor. While Julian's parents had balloons in their hands, on the wall behind them was ‘welcome back, Alex'.I held Julixa firmly in my arms, walking in and still rubbing her fur. I was totally overwhelmed by all these, and wasn't expecting it at all. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I glanced around and found everyone smiling ear-to-ear except Julian.“You look more beautiful, honey! It's good to see you again,” his mum gushed and that got me too stunned to even utter a word.To even think that they made a cake for this, was making me doubt their intentions. I could vividly recall how his mum slapped me at the office, and sent a threat letter to me.“I-I….”“It's fine, darling,” his Dad cut me off, “You don't have to say too much,” he said, walking closer to me. He patted my head t
A Few Days Later.Alexandra's POVI laid on the hospital bed, my eyes on ceilings. My vision blurred with my tears, sliding down my temple. My fist gripped my clothes tightly, my knuckles turning white.Whimpers escape my lips, making me shut my eyes and allow my tears to fall freely. I sniffled, trying to suck in all the pain in my heart. I cried without a sound, my heart aching with a bitter sorrow that I couldn’t express aloud. The door opened, making me shut my eyes instantly. Perceiving the familiar cologne, I knew who it was already which was why I pretended to sleep.His footsteps were light and I felt him sitting beside me. The soft click of the food flask on the table, together with the aroma made me know that he came with the excuse of bringing me food.I really don't want to see him right now.My anger towards him isn't justified but I can't help but feel this way. My head banged with a wild migraine and my fist on my clothes tightened.He sighed deeply before taking my ha
Alexandra's POVThe Next Day.Seated on the couch in my room, Julixa was resting in my arms. I got to know her name when a little petite girl came with her to my room yesterday after Julian left for a while.‘Jasmine,’ “Oh, yes. Jasmine. You told me,” I responded to Alex as she reminded me of the lady's name.What I still don't get is how Alex was caring for Julixa. I could recall when I woke up in the hospital, I found her beside me and Alex had urged me to carry her.Now, she is in my arms, fast asleep but I wouldn't stop rubbing her fur. She looks so innocent and I couldn't help but love her just like Alex.I looked down at Julixa, my eyes landed on my hands that were working on their own. I was wondering if Alex was the one controlling me into doing things.‘Why would you think that I was controlling you?’ she asked, her tone was hard and I couldn't help but wanna roll my eyes. She flare up with things easily.“You're the one that cares for Julixa. Not me. And I was wondering how
Julian's POV“Alex has DID,” I dropped the bombshell after so much contemplation. Jasmine looks perplexed with Julixa in her arms, gawking at me. Her expression was similar to everyone in the living room.“DID? Is that a kind of abbreviation for a condition?” My dad questioned and I nodded, turning to look at Madam Cassandra.“It's a mental condition. Dissociative Identity Disorder,” I stated, going ahead and began explaining everything the Doctor says to them.Madam Cassandra was the first to gasp and my mum went to hold her. “The psychiatrist I hired for her would be here tomorrow morning,” I assured, my eyes on Madam Cassandra who was still trying to digest this fact.Soon, she nodded with a heavy heart.“I will go see her,” I nodded and watched as she walked away.Julixa made some whiny sounds, and my gaze shifted to him.Jasmine poured the puppy kibbles in a bowl, her eyes lingered on it for a while and I knew what was going on on her mind.“It's her food not yours,” I emphasiz
