Semua Bab Valentine's Vows; Love, Lies And A Fake Engagement : Bab 131 - Bab 135

ALEXANDER'S POV My vision was clouded as I drove, I had to pull over somewhere and let it all out. It was the second time in the month I was breaking down like that, but then what could I do? Wealth really didn't mean peace or happiness; it came with a lot of drama, and I was more than ready to let it go.I never knew Rubby would end up to mean so much to me, it broke my heart that my past had found a way to scatter the beautiful present I was building. And to think it was Josh, made my heart hurt the more.I pulled out my phone and scrolled through the endless list of numbers. I paused at Rubby's own, but instead of calling her, I edited the name I used in saving it, removing all the love emojis I had used initially.I kept scrolling until my eyes landed on another one, the man they said was my father. I still found it hard to call him my father, so it was even safer to refer to him by his name.I dialled the number and he took the call almost immediately."Hey, Alex."I inhaled dee

I wiped the tear in my face and summoned the courage to answer just as it had happened."Trisha, you were being greedy; when you asked for the pencil, I offered to give you so that you c

ALEXANDER'S POV "That's the car there," Josh pointed."But why is the fire service coming this direction" I was still talking when people started running out screaming."Fire! Fire!" The basement."We were both lost; the car was packed beside the bakery, but the bakery was busy, as many workers walked in and out of the room."There is no way she would be there," Josh said aloud as though reading my thoughts."Out!" Someone shouted. "There are people in the basement.""Basement?" I and Josh said in unison. "The gym has a basement?"Thankfully, the fire service arrived just in time and began doing what they knew how to do best."We are wasting time; take this direction, and I will take the other; we need to find her now," Josh ordered.I hated the fact that he was dishing out instructions like I was his younger brother, I only ignored him for Rubby's sake."What!"
