CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE | FORGIVENESS?

NATHAN

“Nathan?" Alena calls out.

I squint my eyes at her suspiciously.

“I thought you were sleeping? The Doctor said you didn't want to see anyone." I question.

“Yeah, about that...I just wanted to see you." She says sheepishly.

“What do you mean?"

“I didn't actually take the poison, I just wanted you to come see me." She starts crying immediately after she says this.

“Don't tell me you faked your attempted suicide?" I asked, quite shocked.

“I am so fucking sorry, Nathan. I only wanted you to forgive me, I didn't know things would get out of hand." She confesses guiltily.

“How?" I ask in amusement.

Alena notices that I am not angry at her and smiles.

“It was simple, all I had to do was pretend like I took one of the human's drugs. The guard saw me and immediately started panicking. It was extremely funny, I had to put all my acting skills into use." She explains, laughing at the memory.

I won't lie, what she did was funny, and smart too.
