ALEX IS CRAZY (FORTY SIX)

last update Last Updated: 2023-09-19 13:56:49

The prison looks ordinary. Not as scary as it can be seen in the action films he often watches, but also not quite worthy to live in. The black bars that separated the prison passageway and a narrow four-by-three-meter room were rusty. The distinctive iron smell pollutes his lungs which are usually supplied by clean air from the trees in his yard. Especially in that cell, he didn't get the luxury of occupying that room alone. The other two prisoners were laughing out loud in another corner of the room. He deliberately did not associate with them or try to be friendly to them as new prisoners. Little information he knows from an officer who three days ago opened his handcuffs to put him in prison, two men who occupy the same cell with him is a former criminal and a man who likes to beat his wife.

Perhaps the reason he was placed in that cage was because of the similarity in the crime category he had with the two thugs. But he felt that he could not be compared to them. The blonde with

    Harper sticks to her original intention of not sleeping after Alex leaves her. For an hour and a half, Harper sat alone in the kitchen with the coffee grounds clumping together at the bottom of the cup. Brielle, who came at five minutes to six, looked at her in surprise because she didn't look okay in her eyes. But the smart Harper managed to find a good excuse to be in the kitchen before six. Apart from that, Brielle also found another cup in the sink. So Harper wasn't completely lying about her story to Brielle if she'd woken up before six o'clock and then accompanied Alex for a cup of coffee. But not long after that Alex excused himself back into his study to work on the pile of documents he needed to read, so in the end she was alone in the kitchen until Brielle arrived. Harper thought it was the most perfect tale to tell Brielle. She didn't want to make Brielle worry about her relationship with Alex. "What can I do for you, Brie?" "Nothing. I'd rather you just sit there and ea

  • FALLING FOR THE DANGEROUS EX-BOYFRIEND   THE COMMOTION (FORTY EIGHT)

    The house seemed to be mocking her. The arrogance displayed by this magnificent classic building is the same as the arrogance of its owner. Fifteen minutes ago she still remembered how Alex had openly told her to leave his house. She wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to Heidi. Alex in an instant turned into a very cold man. The weakness and hopelessness on Alex's face this morning had disappeared from the moment Chase stepped into his house. It was probably part of Alex's jealousy. But what bothered her more was the possibility that Alex would take custody of Leo. "Are you still thinking about that problem?" Chase stopped his car at a crossroads when the traffic light turned red. Harper was grateful that Chase had given her time to think since his car pulled out of Alex's house. At least she needed some time to calm her chaotic heart. "He was just bluffing." "I hope so." Chase took her left hand from her lap and kissed it gently. "He's just jealous, Harphy." "I guess so too.

    "I'll take it to the kitchen and wash all the dishes." "Harper, you don’t have to. Sit here with us." “Lydia… you've prepared a really great meal today. Now it's my turn to clean all these plates,” Harper pointed at all the dirty dishes scattered on the table. Everyone seemed very hungry and very happy to eat whatever Mrs. De Castro served today. Harper was no exception, she had eaten well today even though she was in a bad mood after her fight with Chase. "Okay. We'll wait in the living room then. Thanks, darling." Mrs. De Castro kissed Harper gently on the cheek and walked off to the living room with her husband to relax. Maybe the romantic couple will read their favorite book while listening to soothing classical music. Harper felt proud to stare at the romantic couple. Since the first she has always dreamed of growing old with the man she loves, then they will share various kinds of happy moments. But it looks like it's all just hope. Her love story is tragic. The man she lo

    When he came out of visiting Laird and Slugish, he found his lawyer waiting for him in the parking lot. Before meeting his lawyer, he glanced at the visiting room whose window was right next to him. From where he was standing now, he could see the gleam of happiness clearly emanating from Mickey's black face. Alex was happy to see him happy. Mickey deserves it. He wasn't the kind of bad guy who deserved to live in prison. Mickey must get justice. “Everything has been taken care of according to your request.” "Good. The two rats should be punished for their crimes." "I don't mean Laird and Slugish." Alex raised an eyebrow in disbelief as he walked towards his car. "Want to talk about it here or somewhere more private." "It's much safer here." The lawyer chuckled. The two of them had been close friends since Alex went to college years ago. Zack Creighton was his senior whom he had accidentally met when he was fighting at a bar. As a model student who occupies the position of chai

    In the dimly lit room, Chase leaned his shoulders casually while enjoying a glass of wine in his hand. The dinner party had just finished, and now he was looking to enjoy his leisure time with his future father-in-law and the best wine served by the restaurant waiter. “Ben, I can't wait any longer. My and Harper's marriage had to be rushed." Bennedict Morton did the same thing by taking a sip of his wine before answering Chase's question. He needed to moisten his throat and think of a good answer to his question. "I think I should talk to Harper about this first." "Force her. Encourage her so that she wants to marry me as soon as possible because our conversation yesterday ended in a dead end.” "So you guys talked about it?" "We have. But Harper didn't want to do that. Ever since Alex got out of prison, he had been like a thorn in the flesh. He's interfering with my relationship with Harper. That damn bastard.” Chase grumbled as he too

    “Harper...” As Harper descends the last step of the stairs, Harper is surprised by Chase's unexpected appearance. He rarely came to her house on busy days like that. Especially after their fight yesterday, Harper felt that Chase should have taken quite a bit of time to leave her alone. Unexpectedly Chase came and looked at her with intense longing in his eyes. “I met Amber up front. She has an emergency call from the hospital. The patient is critical." “Oh my God, may the patient be blessed. You surprised me, Chase." "Harper, I'm sorry." The frustration was clear in Chase's voice. His sigh awakened Harper's pity for him. Harper can't ignore Chase's guilt and she is moved to forgive him. "Yesterday we were just equally emotional." Chase pulled Harper's hand closer to him. At the bottom of the stairs, Chase looked intently into her eyes as he gently stroked Harper's head. “I admit I was wrong, Harp. I shouldn't have forced you. You have a good reason why you can't move our weddi

    Tired of his life being toyed with lately, Tyler leaned his head against the vending machine's surface after he bought a can of Dr. Pepper to clear his muddled mind. Since then he felt like a fierce dog who kept barking at anyone. It started with the unpleasant atmosphere in the meeting room. He was cornered by other members of the meeting because he had tarnished the image of the Toronto police department due to his sloppy analysis of Alex's case. He was then still bombarded with lectures from Amber because last night he canceled an appointment to go to her parents' house. Yeah, life is beautiful, Tyler thought bitterly. Now he felt his feelings were far from okay. Every time he saw Alex sway around freely, he always felt like punching the man in the face. Moreover, Alex began to be reported again in newspapers and on television as before. His good name recovered very quickly and it was as if he had never committed a serious crime before. Alex managed to form a perfect imag

    Twenty minutes later the pasta carbonara was ready on the table. Heidi looked so excited to enter the dining room with Alex behind her who was carrying Leo. The fat baby looks just as happy as Heidi because today he has many friends who will enliven his boring life. Sometimes Harper realized how lonely her house would be when she was alone with Leo. But now Heidi has made her home more lively and feels like a normal home that exudes real warmth. “Extra cheese for me.” “Of course dear baby. By the way, I have baked brownies for you.” “Yippie! I love brownies. Can I have it with ice cream?” “Hmm... try asking your daddy.” While setting the plates on the table, Harper glanced at Alex who was currently busy patting Leo on the back in his arms. “Can I have some ice cream, Dad?” “If it’s just one scoop, you can still eat it. You just recovered from your illness, honey.” “Yeah, it’s okay if it’s just one scoop. Come on, Leo, l

He may not be a romantic man, but he always has a way of making me a queen. I thought at first it was a ploy to ensnare me. He is famous as a lady killer. Besides loving him, I sometimes also doubt his feelings. Is it possible that a lady killer would love a woman like me? “Yes, I love you, Harper!” shouted Alex enthusiastically. Harper poked her head through the bathroom door. She snorted when she saw her husband laughing out loud while holding her diary. She was stupid because she kept the diary in a drawer.

    The event was very lively. Decorated with beautiful flowers that were handpicked by the bride, the party was truly a dream party for the bride who had long dreamed of a fairy tale wedding party filled with beautiful flowers. At the altar, a man wore a black tuxedo, a snug bow tie around his neck, and shiny new shoes on his feet, the man waits for the bride with a feeling of extreme nervousness that is so annoying. His heart hadn't stopped rumbling for hours and hours, and his face was so stiff. It actually made the guests giggling and amused at him. Today everyone's gaze implies happiness for the most phenomenal couple of this century. A couple who have gone through many hardships together and have gone through many joys filled with laughter. Tyler waited nervously for his bride at the altar, wringing his cold hands over and over again.

    He glanced at his phone screen and then looked at the snow in his small yard in the remote village of Newbury. Since yesterday he had known that his leisure time was over. Today he will soon end all this ridiculous charade to face a world that has never been on his side. "I've been waiting for your coming." Tom didn't turn around at all. His eyes were still glued to the white snow that was slowly starting to be illuminated by the sunlight. He wasn't in Hawaii at all. He's still in Canada. In a very remote village in Newbury. "The police will be here soon.” "Yes I know. Congratulations on tracking me down, Mr. Alexander Enzo. I don't think what people say about your prowess is anything but nonsense. Sorry for involving you in my game.” "Damn it! You almost killed a poor old man and you tricked a greedy man." "Trapper Winskie is indeed a greedy old man who deserves punishment." “You pretend to be me and talk to him who is very am

    The clock still showed three in the morning, but the atmosphere at the police station was as busy as the activities carried out at nine in the morning. The officers who had just arrived from the field brought various kinds of evidence that could be used to build the case. They took several bags containing evidence from Chase's house. The items were arranged on a special table in the interrogation room. The 9mm caliber pistol that Harper once held was also among the items confiscated by police to investigate the case involving Alex and Chase.A police officer with sleepy eyes kept yawning repeatedly as he placed the evidence on the table. A USB and a small pen that looked unremarkable were placed there carefully after Zack came to hand it all over to them."Don't let anything be missed."Tyler patted the sleepy cop on the shoulder. He grumbled near Tyler because he had just been woken up when he was sound asleep in his house.“I even just slept two hours ago.”"Don't complain too much,

    He had just turned off his bedroom light and was about to walk towards his bed when a strange sound crackled near his ear followed by the cold sensation he got on his temples from an object he knew very well what it was. He frantically tried to run to the light switch to illuminate his dark room so he could at least see the face of the intruder who had presumptuously disturbed his composure. But his footsteps had been blocked by that person so he immediately fell on the cold floor while enduring pain in the knee that landed first on the floor. "Who are you? What were you doing sneaking into my house?” "What do you think I'll do, Chase?" "Alex?" Chase winced in the darkness as he rubbed his bruised knee repeatedly. Knowing that Alex had come to his house, the feeling of anxiety gradually lessened a bit. But he simply couldn't ignore the fact that a few seconds ago Alex had been pointing him with a gun. “What are you doing in my house? The police are looking for you out there." “F

    Across the dark hospital garden, they continued to run without stopping and trying to keep their balance in the snow which now seemed to be difficult for them. Several times Harper nearly tripped if Alex didn't hold her hand tightly, then they both jumped over the half-foot-tall bushes in the garden behind the hospital that separated it from the sidewalk that connected the street to another block."Are they still after us?"Harper panted repeatedly. Her lungs felt like they were going to explode, her legs would probably protest if they had a mouth to speak because her legs were sore right now after being used to running from the fifth floor of the hospital building."I don’t think so. Come on. Can you still walk?”Harper nodded weakly and started limping next to Alex. They had to pick up their car which was parked in a bar three blocks from where they were currently walking.When Alex stopped the car there, she was surprised at him because they left the car in a place that was quite o

    For a long time, he stood there doing nothing. Maybe five minutes. Or more. He didn't know exactly when he had left the deserted hospital hallway to enter Brielle's noisy treatment room. The sound of the cardiograph showing the steady rhythm of Brielle's heartbeat relieved him a bit. Only a bit. The rest he was more worried when he saw Brielle's plump body which usually always radiated a healthy brown hue, now turned pale and wrinkled. Brielle's skin looked unwell under the needles that poked her here and there. “Brielle...” Alex muttered under his breath with broken feelings. He had never seen Brielle this frail. His Brielle who always laughs loudly, his Brielle who loves to cook delicious food for him, his Brielle who is always there for him. As he touched Brielle's hand which was drooping weakly at her side, it felt cold. Alex gripped her hand tightly, feeling the roughness of it because it was always used to work in the kitchen. He wanted to see Brielle in his kitchen again, no

    He was enjoying classical music and a cup of fragrant hot coffee when his doorbell was rung roughly several times. Frowning his brows in annoyance, the man quickly tightened his sleeping robes and walked a little hastily to the front door to yell at anyone who had disturbed his quiet time. He thought the person who rang the bell at his house had gone completely insane. It's even a few minutes past ten. It's time for everyone to rest well. But the people out there seem to be crazies who don't know the code of ethics. "What the—" His words stopped in midair when he saw who the intruder had been playing with his doorbell. "Looks like I'm interrupting your bed time." "Very. You're not the person I expected to come tonight." “What kind of lawyer can stay relaxed when his client is being wanted by the police for running away.” Tyler said skeptically. He looked at Zack's body from head to toe which clearly showed that the man was ready to sleep. "It's a tough day. I didn't want to burde

    Coming out of Harper's quiet residence, Chase didn't drive home right away. Instead of taking the route to his house, Chase turned the wheel toward Alex's office. There was something he had to do tonight to make his life calm again. Today he failed to pick up what he should have taken from Alex's office. For three hours he was stuck with people with thick glasses in the audit room on the fifth floor. Many times he made excuses to get up to Alex's room on the tenth floor, but time and time again he failed. Jordan Brasco, the smart-ass attorney keeps blocking him from going up to Alex's room by giving him a series of tasks that he shouldn't have to do. “Oh come on, why do they keep tinkering with Alex's wealth if the ten million dollars that Winksie sent to Alex's account have been withdrawn? They won't find anything at all until they ask Alex about it,” Chase monologued with himself. He was very upset about everything that happened to him today. But the problem is, Alex has disappear
