They arrived at the Xanders mansion and Blakeley breathed out nervously. Alex held her hand giving her a comforting look.“I am here with you.” He said and she nodded with a smile. They walked out of the car and walked into the house, as expected they were already late and the family were in the dining room. Blakeley noticed the old lady she met on the island wasn't there, a maid led them to the dining room and everyone was already there. They all turned to look at them and Cassie beamed as she saw Blakeley. Blakeley was tense, she held Alex’s hand tightly as his parents stared at her.“Good evening.” Alex greeted and he pulled Blakeley with him as they sat next to each other which made Blakeley next to Cassie and Alex next to his father. Dante and his wife were opposite them. “Are you guys getting a divorce?” Mrs. Xanders asked as the maids dished her and Alex’s meal.“No,” Alex replied sternly and she kept quiet. She said nothing again and no one said anything too. As they kep
THE NEXT DAY MORNING Blakeley got ready for the day and headed out of her room, she walked down the stairs and got to the living room. She paused when she saw Alex watching the news with Logan, she was on the news. They were talking about Stacey’s death, and her picture was displayed next to Stacey’s.“We just got the autopsy result back from the hospital and Stacey seemed to have stabbed herself multiple times before falling into the ocean, they found a suicidal note in her room with her handwriting on it. Turns out Blakeley Xanders is innocent and knows nothing about her death, the cut on her hand was due to a broken glass in the restroom of the ship. We apologise for the inconvenience we caused her and promise to make up for all the mistreatment. May Stacey’s soul rest in perfect peace.” The news reporter said and Alex turned off the television. He turned and noticed Blakeley was in the room.“Oh, good morning ma’am and congratulations.” Logan greeted with a bow and she smiled s
Alex sat next to Dante as they watched their father address them and the rest of the board of the company. He didn't want to be there but he had to, he had no choice. He was bored and tired already, all questions kept being thrown to Dante because he managed a bigger part of the company.His father finally talked about his investment in the company and the issues they might be having, it was finally time for him to speak.“Alex, over to you.” His father said and he stood up, he was about to address the issue when his phone rang. “Excuse me.” He muttered and brought out his phone from his jacket. Scott was the caller, he ended the call and tucked it back in his jacket. He was about to speak again and his phone rang, the board started to murmur and Dante had a smile on his face. “Turn that phone off.” His father ordered as he brought it out. It was Scott again, if Scott could call him back after ending a call then it is very important.“I will just pick it up.” He muttered and picke
Scott helped Cassie put on her jacket and her shoes, he helped her out of the bed and she smiled at him.“Thanks.” She muttered and he nodded. They both turned to Alex and Blakeley and Cassie sighed.“I feel bad.” Cassie muttered.“Why?”“Because she hasn't woken up yet.” “It's fine, she will.” Scott assured and she nodded.“Hmm, Alex. We are leaving.” Scott said and Alex turned to them. It is night already and Cassie has been discharged, she only had minor injuries and she had been treated already and was okay. “Okay.” Alex replied.“Do you need anything? Probably get you dinner before we leave?” Scott asked and he shook his head in response. “You can some of the chocolates her fans sent.” Cassie suggested and Alex looked around the room which was filled with flowers, gifts, cards and gift boxes.“No, it's fine.” He replied dryly and Cassie nodded.“Okay, bye then.” Scott said and Cassie gave him a comforting smile before walking out of the room. Alex sighed and turned to Blakeley
“Are you trying to ignore the truth?” Blakeley asked back and Alex was surprised by her response but his face held no surprised expression.“Did something get into you out of the blue?” He asked.“I just asked you about the Russian lady and you suddenly had this mad expression on, definitely something is going on between you two. You literally yell and get mad at me because of that lady.” Blakeley snapped at him and turned away from him, Alex was speechless and he rolled his eyes. He stood up and walked out of the ward.*********HOURS LATER Blakeley sat up as the doctor did a quick check up on her, Alex was standing close to the door going through his phone. “Alright. You are okay and ready to go home. Just keep taking your medications for a week straight and let your wounds heal up, don't go through too much stress and you will heal faster ma’am.” He explained and she smiled.“Thank you.” She replied and he nodded, he walked to Alex and bowed a little before walking out. Blakele
“Oh my God.” She gasped and looked around. How couldn't she see the lights outside the gate?It was a garden! It was not just a little and random garden, it looked like a whole park on its own. She let go of Alex’s hand and walked into it fully leaving him behind.“Wow.” Blakeley gasped as she followed the walkway. It is a well-maintained garden, no doubt about that. It is full of life, it includes a variety of plants, such as flowers, shrubs, and trees, as well as features such as walkways, water features, and seating areas. It still looked like there were more of it the deeper you go, that was how huge it was. The lights at the edge of each walkway made the whole place bright and really pretty. “Hey, wait up.” Alex said as walked to her.“You don't even know your way around the garden and you are going deep in.”“I don't care if I get lost in it. This is so amazing, we should come here every day.” She giggled and Alex rolled his eyes and held her hand. “Come on.” He muttered and
Alex watched as she walked away, he remained on a spot and ran his hands through his hair.“Fuck.” He muttered and sighed. He walked away from the waterfall, he saw no sign of her and he walked towards the exit. As he headed there, his phone rang and he stopped to pick up the call. He brought out his phone and Scott was the caller. “Hey, I am kind of busy right now.” Alex said.“Dante caused the accident.”“Did you get the driver?”“Yeah, but he is dead. I’m at the morgue right now, I came to check on the body.”“Who is it?”“Just a random person. According to the source, Dante had no idea Cassie was in the car, it was supposed to be Blakeley alone.” “Yeah, we will talk about this… ““Why? It involves Blakeley, I thought you cared about her, what are you busy doing?” Scott asked.“Have got to settle something with Blakeley.” He replied and sighed.“Did you upset her again? What did you do this time?” Scott asked.“I will call you later.” He replied and ended the call. Alex continue
HOURS LATERAlex walked out of his car and walked towards the house, he got in and surprisingly, he met Blakeley at the door waiting. Having no idea of what to say to her and not being in a good mood, he walked past her and Blakeley trailed behind him.He climbed the stairs and she still trailed behind him. Alex noticed this and he stopped as he got to his door and turned to her.“What’s wrong? Do you want something?” He asked tiredly and she shook her head. Alex stared at her for a few moments and she wasn't saying anything, she was dressed in a shorts and shirt, and he fought the urge to stare at her bare legs. Since she wasn't saying anything, Alex turned to walk into his room.“Alex.” She called and he exhaled heavily before turning to her.“What Blakeley?” He asked.“Can I ask you something?” “What?”“Did you hit me with your car on purpose?” She asked and Alex raised his brows confused.“Huh?”“That night I had an accident in Los Angeles, did you hit me on purpose?” She asked
