บททั้งหมดของ His After One Night: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

CarrieSleeping to the sound of ocean waves did a great job of driving me into the most soothing sleep I’ve had in ages.I woke up feeling refreshed, energetic and ready to face a new day.But before I squarely face the new day, I need to speak to Alessandro— he came to my mind the moment I opened my eyes.Without stress, I sat up and observed the neatness of our room.Our room…It feels weird to pluralise Alessandro and me.But it doesn’t feel wrong.Recalling the little moment we had the previous night made my lips grow into a bigger smile, and I concluded that it indeed wasn’t wrong to feel so good about him.“Ow,” I softly exclaimed, my hand cupping the right side of my stomach.A pang of sharp pain had stopped my intention to call out for Alessandro. The pain didn’t last for more than three seconds, but it was concerning, and I decided that returning to the hospital would be a good choice to make before something more troubling happens.So, I ignored my usual need to pee and walk

AlessandroI hardly feel regret, but when it comes to this woman, I feel the greatest bitterness. It’s the type that threatens to destroy the essence of my being and make me want to do things more monstrous than the things I’ve already done.But this is not the right place to show this woman how much I despise her.With a little tug on my lips, I lifted my eyes to her and asked, “You really thought teaming up with Cockeye would make me bow?”“Yes.” She ended her painfully slow steps before me, and as she whipped my nose with the exotic scent I was once interested in breathing in, I felt more disgust, a ball of vomit threatening to spill out of my guts.“And I was hoping that you would miss me,” she added.My feet quickly backed away before she could touch my chest. “Sure. I have missed the feeling of wanting to strangle you.”“Oh my…”As her giggles filled the room, I saw that everyone was tired of her already. Even Frank Maximus, who was fully awake, seemed repulsed by her presence.

CarrieThe last time I was conscious, Mr. Calmar had just shown me a side of him I would have never suspected he had.And he did something that made me slip into darkness.Now that I am partially awake after seconds or maybe even minutes of stillness, I’m more scared than usual. And that’s because someone keeps pressing my hand as though assessing my flesh before deciding to butcher it.Okay… I think I have to gain full consciousness now before Mr. Calmar does something worse to my body.But it is hard to!My brain is aware, but the rest of my body keeps resisting.And that was the battle I fought for minutes until my eyes snapped open.Glad that I was alive and that every part of my body seemed to be intact, I slowly peeled my sight off the blueish ceiling above. I managed to turn my head to the right, and the familiar fullness of Alessandro’s hair came into view.“Ale…” My voice was unlike mine. Weak and hoarse, I surely needed tons of water to soothe the parchedness stealing the be

Carrie“Are you okay?” Alessandro checked in with me after many seconds filled with heart-thumping silence had passed.“Yes…” I slightly raised my head since we were still crouched. “Are you fine?”“I am. Just stay close to me, okay?”I nodded, and with a little frown of concern on my forehead, I looked towards Eduardo, whose entire body was sprawled between the driver’s and passenger’s seats. “Eduardo… Are you fine?”With a careful whisper, he answered, “I am. But… Why are we whispering?”Hmm… Good question.“Who could have done this?” Alessandro’s voice could have vibrated my entire back if it wanted to. He covered me with all that he was and it would have been hard for me to try budging if I wished to. “Do you think it’s Mr. Calmar?”“Nah,” Edaurdo replied with his normal tone. “Mr. Calmar doesn’t show off. He is probably hiding in an open spot, waiting for us to catch him and deal with him.”“Then… Cockeye?”Eduardo tsked. “Cockeye is a pussy. I would drink the entire ocean if he

Alessandro“Alessandro…” Her feet, which easily and cutely failed to reach the ground, began to swing.“When I first found myself here, I was confused and angry. I hated you a little bit too. But…” She glanced at me, and her smile turned brighter. “Now that a lot has happened, I can’t even hate you for being someone greatly different from the world I know. But then, how could I even hate you? You are the only one who has given me a chance to live life properly… sort of. My so-called husband left me because he hated our barely grown arranged marriage, and my father certainly doesn’t care about me anymore.”The urge to hold her hand filled my mind. And I listened to that urge.And I swear, something flipped inside me the moment our skins touched.“Alessandro, things might be quite dangerous here, but this place is full of life. Being with you,” she glanced at our joined hands, “is full of life. So even if someone calls me all sorts of names to drive me away from you, I don’t think I can
