Semua Bab Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement : Bab 111 - Bab 120

RUBBY'S POV I dropped the call immediately, but he called back almost immediately."Good riddance!" I muttered."What's going on Rubby?" Mom asked, and gently dragged me outside."Mom! You're hurting me.""That's good," mom said, and pinched me."Oouch! Mom!""What's going on with you and Alex? Why did you inform him like that?"I scoffed. "Is that why you dragged me out? Have you forgotten that Dad shouldn't be left alone?" "He isn't, the doctor and police are there, and.....""Mrs Cavillton?" The doctor called from inside.I shrugged my shoulders. "You see, go stay with your husband."She made to go, but came back and dragged me alongside her. "Mom, you are embarrassing me.""We will watch him for a few more days, after which he will be discharged. For now, still, keep a close eye on him."I nodded in response, while mom muttered a half hearted thank you, she was just interested in spanking my ass and dragging me by my ears.As soon as they were out of earshot, Mom made me sit dow

ALEXANDER'S POV His hands suddenly started shaking. "Hey calm down. You don't need to be afraid. Let me know who it is; I will fly Maggie out, and we can tackle the rest from here, can't we?"He shook his head in response, and I let out a frustrated groan."Is he watching you now? Can he hear you as we speak? Does he have eyes here in the prison?"He stayed emotionless this time, without blinking even."I've got less than forty seconds; talk to me. You want somewhere private?" In response, he blinked his eyes. My eyes darted to the prison warden by the left. "Ok, him?"He blinked in response again."Mr Wolfe, your time is up." I didn't resist; I stood up gently and reached for his hand."I will come back okay."I watched the warden escort him back to his cell."Shit!" I adjusted my tie and headed for the chief's office. He better be calling me for a tangible reason."Alex, been a minute," he stretched his hand for a handshake, which I reluctantly collected."Please sit.""He is y

RUBBY'S POV Josh had offered to drive me to Alex's house to return the car key. According to him, it was for safety purposes.Now as I walked back to his car, I was grateful that he had come with me.I had been such a big fool to think Alex was different. Even after confronting him a few minutes ago, he still had the guts to make out with her in his house. Absolutely no regard for me.My heart throbbed violently against my chest as though it was about to explode. My eyes, on the other hand, burned as though I hadn't slept a wink for weeks.I held my tears so tight that Josh shouldn't see me cry. But the more I tried to ignore it for the time being, the more the tears clouded my vision."Let it out," Josh whisperedAs though the words were a remote, I broke down in tears that instant. How could he? How could he toy with my heart like that? Why didn't he come out clean? Isn't he worse than Nolan? Why am I so unlucky with relationships? These questions and more caused my head to spin.

RUBBY'S POV It seemed as though the world had stopped.At first, I didn't know who it was; they both froze, shock written on their faces and then slowly, Josh fell to the ground."Josh!" The maid screamed and rushed out. Suddenly, Alex's face changed; he was no longer staring at Josh; he was now staring at the woman as though he had seen a ghost."You, you've been here?" He asked the lady.She didn't give him any response; rather, she fell on Josh's body, screaming for help."You monster!" I screamed while hitting Alex all over his body."What have you done? I hate you so much!""Help me," the maid screamed, jolting me back to reality.I rushed to Josh, who was now bleeding profusely; the bullet had hit him in his stomach. We painstakingly dragged him to the car, while I got ready to leave."Aren't you coming with me?" I asked when the maid stepped backwards.She shook her head in response, and I drove off; I had no time to waste.The moment I pulled out of the driveway, I noticed a

ALEXANDER'S POV "Mom, I'm not here for your games, so please answer me. I've got a lot to handle.""Here," she placed the plate before me. "Best served with pineapple."My hands were visibly shaking now. I forced myself to stand still, yet all my mind screamed was to turn both the table and the food upside down."If you don't answer me, Mom, I would walk out of this door, and you might not see me again."The fake smile on her face vanished as she sat down slowly."And don't bother lying to me. I've even seen Josh's mother, the same one you said was dead."I expected a heavy reaction, it's been fifteen years or more, she should at least look shocked, but I didn't get any reaction."Really, Mom? You knew all these while? Is there something else I don't know?"She sat upright now and faced me. "Alex you can go.""What?" My jaw dropped."You threatened to walk out minutes ago right? Please do. I will talk to you when it's convenient. Just know whatever I'm doing is for your good.""Good,
