Alex.

“Hayle is gone! What's that to mean?” I asked, worried evident in my tone. I swallowed hard, batting my eyelashes continuously.

“She's gone.. She left… I couldn't stop her. No, I chose not to stop her; she's gone, Alex, gone with your child.” Julit added in. Then it dawned on me—the sudden realization of his words. All she had meant was saying the truth, not telling lies a bit.

I had taken things too far.

“Gone where? When did this happen? I don't understand. Why would she leave? Why did you watch her leave?” I asked again, this time yelling at the top of my lungs. I couldn't help it; I was scarred! My palms become sweaty, and my lips quivered as I spoke.

“She's gone; you never listened to her; you didn't believe her either; if anyone is to blame, then it's you! How could you not know your woman? Your wife?” Juliet raged with pure anger in her voice. I couldn't help it; I felt weak, helpless, and hopeless.

“I know the truth now, Juliet. Angel explained it all—the truth about

    Hayle.Splitting my eyes open, the first image that came to mind was none other than that of Alex.I swallowed hard, closed my eyes, shut back on cue, and split them open once more. I was right, it was not a bloody hallucination; it was indeed Alex who stood before me. “Alex?” I called out, trying to see if it was anything other than my imagination or the truth. I wasn't seeing things I was certain of, but it was too good to be true; it couldn't be two.Last time I checked, he had gone off to get married to some lady; he abandoned me; he was angry as rage itself; he didn't want to listen to any word that was through my lips.Everything had been a lie; it was a pigment of my imagination. Everything was just wrong.I closed my eyes once more, but I felt cold fingers brushing against my cheeks slowly, so I shook and then parted my orbs. It was no dream of mine; it was none other than that truth itself!.“Alex?” I called out again; it was too late. To my lucid imagination, a smile formed

    Alex’s .Two weeks had passed, and Hayle remained in the same glum state she was; the glint of happiness in her eyes was gone. All that remained were the dull, dead, emotionless shadows in her eyes. I could not bear it anymore.She refused to speak with Juliet as well, kept up with her gloominess, and kept herself away from everyone and everything else. It was hard at first, but then I decided to give it time, yet it didn't seem like there had been any improvement of any sort in the whole situation.I could handle coldness and a little bit of harsh reality, but when Hayle said I had never said a word of the truth to her, it ate me up. up. I kept my secrets, holding things off from her, while worry worked up a nerve in me.“I had done nothing wrong, but I couldn't help it. The feeling I got knowing she never learned the truth was that I knew who the true father of the child was. Hayle didn't bother me either; I knew she had lots of things cooped up in her head, that had not change

    HayleI split my eyes open. I wasn't in the same room as mine; it seemed like... I was in Alex's chambers.I woke with a throbbing headache and a sharp pain behind my neck. My chest hurt slightly, and I stirred in bed. Warmth seeped into me as I sniffed slowly into the air. It felt better, and I was better when I realized that.My hands grazed subconsciously against my belly; the bump was gone, my baby.I felt a little bitter knowing I had not been in touch with Juliet. She tried checking on me day by day, but I ignored her. Alex had prohibited the guards from coming around me.“Alex?.” I called out slowly as my voice cracked in between and ended up sounding more like a croak. I got no response from him, and it was very unlike him; Alex would never ignore me as such. Besides, he was always around me, trying to make sure I did my things right, took my drugs, and the like.Sweat broke down my spine slowly, and a cold hill ran around my body.I lifted my body slowly away from the bed an

    Alex’“What's with the noise?” I asked with a frown. My lips parted slowly while a smirk eased up to the sides of my lips. I loved seeing him in pain.“You liar! You think I won't know?” He was angry. He pulled closer to me while Hayle stood to her feet, somehow confused about the entire situation at hand.“Go out, Hayle. You should not be witnessing this.” I threatened, my gaze pinned directly into Ethan's orbs, which were blazing with none other than anger, while a grin remained attached to the sides of my lips while a reeled into my mind.“But.. I”“Leave Hayle! I'll be out soon, I promise.” I warned sternly, my voice and words laced with a growl. She shook her head before slowly walking out of the room, strapping to her feet. My eyes trailed after hers s wells and that of Hayle’s while she finally walked out the door.“You took my mother! What have you done to her?

    Ethan“NO! it's impossible! My father… He's dead, that's all I know, and it remains that way. This is what Alex had been doing, right? What had he done to you?” I asked again, holding firmly to my breath, That was the truth—the only thing that mattered to me."No, Ethan, I would never lie about such a thing to you. I loved your father. We stayed together for a long time, but then he became something entirely different. I had to leave the toxic relationship. I was already a few weeks pregnant when I met the boss, he was the only saving grace I had, so I lied to him. Twisted things told him I was pregnant with his child, and he believed me. He was the one! My one who could give you a brighter future was the boss kingpin, and as soon as you aged a little, we came to the family grounds. I'm sorry I kept this from you all along, but please, you must keep this a secret; he doesn't know of your existence. He knows nothing about you, and yes, he's coming for me.

    Ethan’“MOTHER!” I yelled as I stormed right into her room, filled with anger! She lied to me . every word she had spoken ever since we were young, all Through the moments, she parted her lips to speak to me from the minute I understood the words she spoke. I realized it; she had said nothing but cheap lies.“Your Highness… You should let her rest up; the queen isn't doing fine,“ a maid complained. I passed her a glare, balling my palms. At first, I did not want to cause any more trouble for myself. Not after the conversation I shared with Alex. “Leave this instant!” I yelled at the top of my voice, and they all scurried away with frightened looks on their faces. It had my belly churn from anger, and my insides were tied to a knot. I couldn't help it. I felt sick.“What on earth is wrong with you? What's with this act? More lies?” I asked, seeing how she shivered beneath the blanket that she was wrapped in.“You lied to me! I met with him, you know? .. The man you claimed was my

    Ethan.I relaxed against the walls, my head raised up with my eyes gazing intently at the moon while lots of thoughts and worry coursed through my mind.

I could barely help it. My mother..she became a stranger to me, scarring me the more while my consciousness continued to bleed.

I wasn't sure.But I knew it had a very attractive scent; it filled my nostrils, and I rolled over to the side, a tingling sensation down my spine while I picked myself up from the bed. A smile laced up to my face while I glanced at Alex.I didn't move an inch, not wanting to alert him, but it made me smile. I glanced at him watching how he tried to no Falter . I wanted to know what it was he was intending on doing.But he had a tray of food in his hands, some on the table, moving from edge to angle, setting it right in place. I could see flowers.

She was restless and maybe angry, but for all she knew, there were other things she needed to bring together.Weak and tired, she needed a little bit of peace and quiet. It felt like much was done or could be done; all she needed was her mind set free.She slipped out of the room, slowly heading towards the balcony, but then remembered that she had previously passed out there and slept in the cold till the next day. Goosebumps. swarmed into her, she freed herself up to the conclusion that was not by any means the route for her.She stood in her tracks, her head tilted a bit while she pondered hard about what to do.

    None of Alex's words made any sense to Hayle; how could her womb vanish into thin air? Why was he looking so serious? Was that meant to be a prank for her? Womb don't just get off one's body."Is this the part where I laugh?” Hayle asked curiously, flashing her bright set of teeth towards Alex, who was taken aback by her attitude. Sure as hell, she had her way, but he had his as well, and he was way more determined than anything else to handle the situation as best as he could, but she was not going to help anyone at all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered under low tones and tried standing on her feet. The first thing she felt was a throbbing headache and an insane urge to retch.“This isn't funny anymore, Alex. What's going on?” She asked again, seemingly confused as her vision was a little blurry.“Here, I'll help.'' Alex added in as he made his way towards her swiftly, running his fingers across her eyes and slowly pushing up in place before helping her back in bed."Hayle, this is a jo

    HayleHayle parted her slowly and glanced through her environment. Things seemed different for a moment, and the first thing that stuck with her was the vague emptiness that she felt, followed by quite a migraine that took place in her mind. What exactly was wrong? Why had she felt like something important was missing from her?.She glanced around, and the surroundings seemed familiar; it wasn't her room. But it looked oddly close. The first memory that shook her mind was collapsing by the balcony, cold and lonely, scared for her life, worried that no one would find her as people hardly entered or passed through there.She heard the creaking of a door, and the first thing she had done was close her eyes shut, firmly and tight, yet she found it really strange; she could not have picked up the footsteps approaching until she shut her eyes closed.“What's wrong with me?” She questioned herself yet said nothing. “I can tell you are awake; why bother pretending?” Alex asked as he leaned c

    Hayle.The cold wind blew harshly against my skin. I circled up my toes and tilted my head a bit.It was odd; why did it look so familiar? Emerging from the room, the scent that filled my nostrils, I stretched my legs slowly and raised my head with a louder yawn.My eyes moved over to the balcony, and it made me really bothered. Why was I in a situation like this? It made me sick to my stomach as I realized I was no longer taken.“awake?” his voice covered around me, I tilted my head, In the direction the words came, as I shook slowly yet carefully, panic shocking at my sides,“Why am I here?” I asked, the words easing off my throat bitterly. I felt an uneasiness within me, and I pushed myself slowly towards the end of the bed.“Stop; you need to remain in bed; you aren't fully healed yet.” He complained even when I barely felt anything different within me.“some joke?” I asked, my gaze on his while he rolled his eyes in response.“What exactly is your deal?

I dragged my feet reluctantly towards the don't and pushed it open, but to my surprise, it was Ethan.“Good morning, still asleep?” he asked. I shook my head, a faint smile against my lips. I could not really tell him much. It was probably not the best thing expected of me, especially given the fact that I had spent all my night thinking about Alex.“No, you didn't wake me; I had been a little tired from the journey; sleep didn't come easily.” I responded to his questions, although he seemed a little tense and worried.“May I come in then?” he asked, and I nodded, pushing the door wider apart for him to walk in.“I'm sorry, my manners are a little terrible. What's wrong? You don't look so good.” I asked on the spot, fighting hard to have my senses all intact.“Do you like it here, Hayle? Do you like be

    AlexI rolled around in bed, my mind coupled up with her thoughts, I found it hard to sleep,My eyes darted over to the huge wall clock in the centre of the room, the seconds ticking slowly, that sound suddenly became louder for me to bear, sounded nothing better than torture.I sat up before putting on my shirt. It was seventeen minutes past three in the morning. It's been more than two hours since I retired to bed, fussing about and turning to no avail.“stop acting like it isn't your fault, why do you always have to make decisions that I'll take the pain for?” my asked, ranging unnecessarily, I sighed before blocking him off the mind link when he had put up with a fight…he was right, I've been imposing my decision on him lately.Apparently, there seemed like nothing else I could do better.

It reminded me of Alex, but I couldn't be sure.I felt a mix of emotions - confusion, and a bit of fear. Was it really him? I tried to sit up to get a better look, but it was hard. Every movement felt heavy and slow.I strained my eyes, hoping to see more clearly, eager to know if it was really him or just my imagination playing tricks on me when suddenly he drew closer and spoke up.“I really need to know why you chose to have yourself killed today,” Alex spoke, his words coming off more like an exclamation than a statement. He had intervened and disrupted Adams' plan to take me out while fighting me in the training field. I was so dumb to recognize that that had been his plan all along.How stupid of me.
