    Alexander's POV How I came about loving Evelyn is something I couldn't explain. Even to myself. Logan told me that I was in love a few days ago at the club. Even though I didn't agree with him. I knew I was only deceiving myself and no one else. I don't even want to get any closer to any woman. Evelyn has occupied my mind. She is all I think of. She is everywhere I go. She hurt me with her bitter words and I thought I was going to teach her a good lesson by staying away from her for weeks. It turned out that I only punished myself instead. That was when I realised that I had completely fallen for her. When Grandpa called to invite us for lunch. I was so happy because I knew I would have to see her again. I was informed that she was travelling for work. But when he also told me that her trip had been cancelled. I was on cloud nine. I can't explain why. But, I was ecstatic and I am glad that we're getting to understand ourselves better. There was something about her father

I wanted to know her, and I wanted her to know me. I have no intention of hurting her. But, it seems that is what I am doing right now. We are now lying in bed. Evelyn has been crying ever since I mentioned her mother. However, she stopped crying when we got back inside. But, the silence is eating me up.

She rested her back on the headboard sitting beside me and holding my hand. I smiled at that simple gesture of hers. But then, I continued. "I never knew them. I only have their pictures and whenever I have something to say to them. I just picked up their picture and I talked to them believing they could hear me". I said to he

    Evelyn's POV I stepped out of the van. Alex was there to catch me just in time when I nearly fell. Are you doing alright? His face was filled with concern as he asked. "I am alright," I answered. I have no idea if I am okay. I simply do not want to frighten him. I felt sick to my stomach and my entire body started to weaken. Taking in our surroundings, I noticed two cars. Violet's car struck me as recognizable. However, I do not know the second vehicle. I shifted my gaze to Alex. And he was staring at me. "We may have some guests, I believe." He explained it to me, and I nodded. Something about the way I moved felt strange to Alex. So, he gave me his support as he wrapped his hands around my waist leading me inside. "Thanks," I breathed. He knew that something was off, but he decided to let it be. As soon as we entered. I grudgingly rolled my eyes at the person when a familiar scream filled the entire house.

    Alexander's POV I watched as my wife listened to her phone conversation. She wasn't saying much, only humming and bobbing her head. The person on the other line was the one doing the talking while she listened. I waited for the endless phone interaction to end, but it looked like it'd just begun. She would look at me from time to time while listening to the one talking from the other end of the phone and I am not liking it one bit. My phone beeps, and I take it out of my pocket. I looked at it, and it was a message from my grandfather. Grandfather: Bring your wife to the hospital. George has something important to tell her. It is urgent. I slid the phone back into my pocket and dragged Evelyn with me. She is still on the phone talking to Magdalene. "Alex, what is it? I'm still talk-" "Your Grandfather wants to talk to you now. And it's important" I cut her off and explained the situation to her. "Oh, that's good news then". She laughed and ended the call. We slid inside
