Soon, she saw the headlight of a car stopped at the gate of Gabe's house. She sat up and squinted her eyes to see if she could recognize the car from where she was sitting. She was parked in the shadows, but it was the way she was parked that refrained her from really sitting anything. She was parked with the rear of the car a bit facing the gate so that she would be able to blend and fit into the small space where the shadow was.She knew this place better to know where she would be parked unseen, at least not easily. And, the only person that could see her there was Gabe himself, because he had seen her parked there once when they were still dating, and she was hiding to see if he was cheating, but that was in the daytime. The car soon entered into the compound as the gate opened and it passed by where she was concealed by the trees. She realized that it was Dean, probably just dropping off Alex, but she hoped that was the case. If by any chance he was here to stay with her till G

“Here you go, miss.” Mrs. Teddy said, placing the plate in front of her. Alex had just finished eating the apple she took from the fridge, making her feel full. The steaming plate of spaghetti and diced carrot, meatballs wrapped in peppered sauce doesn't look as appealing as it should be anymore. She was going to have to wait for a little before she could dig in and eat as much as she wanted and deserve after a day like the one she had at Cara’s. Damn, that house was huge and it looked like it was a castle of some kind. She would have wondered how Cara got by, but she knew they had a cleaning staff that came in every day to tidy the place. “Thank you, Mrs. Teddy. This looks fantastic, and I'm sure it would taste even better.” She said, complimenting the woman’s effort. She smiled with a nod, and then she said. "I know you can't enjoy that now because of the apple. I should have made everything before you arrived so you wouldn't have to eat that.”Quickly, Alex shook her head. "Oh,

After that, they ended the call and she allowed Mrs. Teddy to resume the cleaning on her face. As she sat there, her heart hammered in her chest so hard that she could hear it in her ears pounding, and it was deafening. She was tensed with the outcome that this could bring, but she was trying to be calm.Why would anyone do this? She wondered, asking herself as she sat there pondering on it. This woman had been the one to reject Gabe and not the other way around. It wasn’t as if he had even cheated on her with Alex and she thought that this was what she deserved. She felt so defenseless, but she would show her that that was just a lie. She would show her who Alex could be when tempted like this. She had been the one who had faced the monster from her childhood and adulthood and overcame the problems, so she could do this too. All it was going to take was time, time to heal from this, and then, everything would be all right. Dean arrived about fifteen minutes later, and without furth

Tim groaned as he felt someone shaking him, then he turned to see it was Cara. It wasn't as if it could be anyone else anyway. He rubbed his eyes and stared up at her, then he asked what the problem was. "What's going on, Cara?” he asked. "Remember we slept late because you didn't pick those things up on time." He said, chuckling, and added a wink to her. He had no idea the situation had nothing playful to it. This was a situation where they had to bounce up their feet, get some clothes on and get themselves moving. “Get your ass up, Tim. Stop trying to look cute and winking at me when there's something huge wrong.” She said, the tears she was trying to control showing in her voice. Frowning, he stopped short with his hand outstretched because of what he saw on his fiancé’s face. He sat up on the bed with a small frown on his face. "What's going on then?" He asked Cara.Cara sniffed but the tears she was preventing fell free down her face. "It's Alex, Tim. She is in the hospital.

She sighed and shook her head in frustration, then she walked slowly into the room to the left side of the bed to look down at Alex. She couldn't have stayed on her right because Gabe was lying down with her on the bed on her right side with his head against hers. Cara bent from the waist to be able to speak into her ear. She didn't want anyone else to hear what she had to say."You better wake up, you hear me? You wake up and get better or I'm going to beat the shit out of you." She said.She straightened up and went to where Naomi sat on the couch; Gabe had had someone bring it in the day before so that they could be comfortable a little. She touched her shoulder. "Naomi, please you need to rest. You need to be strong and healthy so that you can be strong for her." She said. "So, it's either you let us drop you and Galatia home or we drag you." She threatened with a small smile.“But someone needs to keep an eye on Gabe and Dean.” She said, pointing at the both of them. "As you can
