"How dare he?" Cara scoffs as she paces around the sitting room ranting about Xander. Cassie remains mute, not knowing what to say.
She had earlier told Cara to let it all out and now she is regretting it. Cara is indeed going on and on about how much of a jerk Xander is and Cassie is just seated nodding repeatedly.
"He walked out on me like he's the victim, I should be the one walking out on him," Cara says while Cassie nods.
Cara's eyes widen like an evil mastermind who had just connected the dots. "He's trying to manipulate me with that stunt he pulled, but it's not going work. I am Cara Green and that shit doesn't work with me." Cara states and as always, Cassie nods. She continues ranting and Cassie continues nodding.
"You need to have seen the way he looked at me when
It felt good at the moment, like winning an argument but then you realize that you said somethings that you don't mean. By the time she took the video down, the internet was already on fire. The news gained more buzz than the time news got out that Liza and Xander broke up. Almost a dozen calls from Xavier and Xander, Cara even got some from Andre. All calls were ignored, and she turned off her phone. She cannot be stressed, the minute she got home, she ate and had a nap.As for Xander, when he saw the video, he could care less about the damage it could do to their already existing narrative, all he cares about is what set her off for her to make such a video."We had a narrative
Cara peeps through the window for the thousandth time, she ensures the curtain covers her face as she spies on the BMW outside."He has been there all night," Cassie says behind her which makes Cara jolt up and release the curtain immediatelyCara walks away from the window to the couch where she takes her seat. "Don't fall for his dramatics."Alex hasn't left since Cassie dismissed him yesterday afternoon. Cara won't admit but she woke up a couple of times in the middle of the night to check outside her window. She has been uneasy."I was thinking of bringing him breakfast."Cara shrugs, "You are the one that cooked, suit yourself."
"Say something," Cassie whispers after offloading her past to Xavier. He has been quiet through it all and this is unsettling for her. Xavier raises his head and looks at her, "Thank you for sharing." He says in a low tone. Cassie nods, trying to process his reply, and then she pauses for a second before she shakes her head, "Is that all you want to say?" "I mean, no one is perfect. I am definitely not." She shakes her head in denial that someone can actually accept all she has told him easily. "You are just saying what you think I want to hear." "No, because I know I am not a saint. I have slept with hundreds of girls, given them a good time. I probably should have gotten my money's worth." Xavier jokes. Noticing t
"Prove it," such simple words but as every day passes, it becomes harder for Alexander to decode its meaning. How else is he to prove how much he loves her? He thought ordering his security to never let Liza into his house and company is proving it. The flowers every morning at her doorstep, sleeping in his car just outside her house every day, the daily words of affirmation he texts to her every morning and night before she goes to bed, isn't that proving it? The fear of the break becoming permanent is running through Xander's thoughts and these fears are slowly eating him up. Usually, he keeps busy when emotionally stressed, but it's different now, he doesn't want to do anything. So he didn't. Today, he didn't send flowers and he also didn't stop by at her place at night. He stayed home and got drunk.
"What are you doing?"This is it, she has to make a decision. It's either flight or help. Her hands are shaking, her heart beating fast, the sound of Cara in pain is not helping her think.Why can't she actually walk away?Growing up, people around Liza were scared of her and what she is capable of, including her mum who since Liza was a kid noticed that she didn't have an innocent mind as most kids do. She became more scared of her when Liza, after an argument with her mum, burnt down the house with her in it.Luckily her mum survived but her mum's assistant suffered burns. She didn't get punished for her actions, Charlie paid for the damages as he always does.
"Hey, long day?" Cara looks up at Xander as he walks into the sitting room."Yeah," He drops his briefcase on the couch across hers and then walks up to her. "But it's better now." He mutters as he brings her chin up with two fingers before placing a kiss on her lips.Cara smiles. He puts his hand on her baby bump."How are you two doing in there?" He whispers putting his head down to her bump."Wanna talk about your day?" Cara asks.
16 YEARS LATER.ALEXANDER'S POINT OF VIEW."Put me down," She chuckled as she wiggled her legs.I opened the door of our room, taking my wife inside, and closing the door behind us using my leg."Alexander." She whined, I took a little spin which made her giggle.Almost immediately, I felt my back snap stopping me from spinning. It's a sharp pain that pushes through my entire body."Are you okay?" She looked up at me worried, almost as if she heard it snap."Yeah." I lied through the back pain. I slowly put her down trying to prevent myself from falling.With this annoying back pain, my doctors say I should refrain from
