Semua Bab Replacing his murdered bride : Bab 31 - Bab 40

POV: ALEXANDER. These past few days ever since my mom's death have left an open void in my heart which I had lost hope of filling again. But to my surprise, the one person I thought would be the first to abandon me, stuck by me unapologetically. I didn't know if it was because of that, but I couldn't deny the way my mind reacted around her. like your heart hadn't been racing ever since you met her. To start with, i didn't hate Jimmie. Safe to say, I had taken quite an interest in her. Seeing someone who boldly stood up to me wasn't a daily thing and that piqued my attention in her. However, I could barely tolerate her extremely stubborn nature– and overly clingy best friend– which always drove a wedge between us. Despite that, I felt myself becoming attached to her, in a way I didn't like. It made me begin to notice peculiar things about her, her habits, tiramisu cologne, the way she made everything about her even though it's usually in a bad way. And if I was being frank with

POV: AUDREY. The hairpin resurfacing again was a big blow to me, and sure would be to Lexan too. From being stolen to appearing at the station as Amanda's murder weapon. Everything was just so confusing. I was innocent yes, but that wasn't going to prove anything at this point, if I remained here. Instead, it would spark up more suspicions and if more investigations were carried out, they might find out that I'm just an imposter. Scared, I stormed off to the room and slipped out from my nightwear into a pair of skinny jeans and a sweat shirt. Alexander barged in immediately, his face twisted in shock and confusion. "You can't possibly be going with them." He commanded with a firm look. "No, I won't allow you go with them." I ignored him, not because I wanted to. Because there was actually nothing to say to him. "The fuck Hazel!! Fucking say something!!!' I turned to him in a cold manner. "I have to go with them. That hairpin's mine and I need to go prove my innocence." "If yo

POV: ALEXANDER. Charles poured a good amount of mentholated spirit over the wound, causing me to scream in pain. He flinched a little, and dabbed with a piece of white cloth, muttering an apology. His face though it was hung up in concern, he wasn’t dumb enough to know what had happened between Jimmie and I. As he tended my wounds, his lips parted a few times to say something but closed back almost immediately. “I don't bite, Charles.” I remarked, adjusting my frame to mask the pain. “Ohh no Sir.” He chuckled. “I have nothing to say.” “I never said you did.” I replied but when he said nothing again, I knew it was pointless trying to coax him. I was in too much distress to do that. After another torturous attempt of cleaning the wound, it finally stopped bleeding. I grabbed the bandage, wrapped it around my stomach, then proceeded to the room. It was already past midnight but she was yet to return. And even though I hated her guts and behavior, not having h

AUDREY I knew very well I couldn't afford another double check, given the tight timing of what I was about to do. It's been a week and some days since the police incident and we were yet to hear any positive news. It was getting frustrating just having to sit around and cooing with Alexander every time he was home. Though I couldn't help but enjoy his company, there was a vital mission at hand. So I took it upon myself to go visit my best friend who was away for long. We had been exchanging phone calls like two new lover birds and I had been practically reminiscing this day. I couldn't help but wonder how big his smile would be when he lays his eyes on me. Securing the last piece of invisible pins into my hair which was styled into a high ponytail, I did a little twirl before the mirror, smiling at my choice. I had gone for a simple black corset top, brown fur jacket, a pair of fitted jeans and brown knee length boots. Quickly, I dosed some perfume on, grabbe

AUDREY The day started with a call from Lexan and while my heart really wanted to reach out and pick the call, I had a subtle feeling to just ignore him. The phone rang again, waking Alexander who was cuddling my body from behind. This had been our routine ever since the arrest. He seems to enjoy every bit of it. The problem was that I was doing the same. Which shouldn’t be. I wasn’t supposed to be finding comfort in the arms of my sister’s supposed killer. I knew my walls were beginning to break. I was beginning to see him as something much more than Jimmie’s killer. Something I didn’t want to acknowledge. “Hazel.” I felt flutters at the soft whisper of his favorite nickname for me. He snuggled closer to my body and I felt a hard shaft hit my ass. My blood froze. Was he hard on me? Fuck! Every other thought in my head vanished, including that of Lexan. “Alex?” I called softly, trying to shift my body in his arms, but it was abortive. The man held me
