How beautiful is it to lose yourself in someone and not feel lost at the same time ....
MAY,
"And along with that a broken nose. He had some difficulty in breathing too that we had to connect him to a ventilator . There was major damage in some of the main blood vessels . It's a miracle that he is still alive"
June felt her insides burn . The guilt and resentment for what she did was enough to make her lose sight of herself .
"Can I see him ?"
The doctor looked at the clipboard in his hands and back at June, "right now he is in the ICU and I'm afraid that the visiting hours are up . However, you can come tomorrow"
"Can I stay here ?"
"Yeah, sure. I'll keep you up to date"
June nodded and sat on one of the cold plastic chairs.
After 10 days,
She looked at Alexander with tired eyes. He looked dead but at least he was out of the ICU. It took a while for his once purple and blue bruises to fade and start healing .
He would eventually wake up and ask for water or the nurse but he never talked to June.
No one of his family has called. If he had any because no one knew anything about Alex's family.Even Sebastian haven't talked to her since the incident . She wouldn't talk to him anyway if he did after the terrible way he treated Alexander .
Her aunt would call from time to time but she never dared to step inside Alex's room .
The doctor entered the quiet room . He smiled as he saw June.
"When can we let him out, doctor ?"
"Tomorrow, I think h-"
"I want to get out today" Alexander spoke out of the blue. He was awake .
"But Alex, you ar-"
"Doctor, I don't think a day would make a difference" June eyed the doctor .
The doctor just nodded.
"June what ?!"
"Yeah, I stayed in the fucking hospital for almost two weeks ! And you didn't even call . That son of bitch had me on a ventilator for days !"
"I just thought you lost yourself in some brothel or something" Harrison said as he handed Alex a glass of wine.
"You're such a fucking insensitive man just like your daughter . The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh"
Harrison chuckled lightly. "If you were just a little smarter you would've used this for your advantage but what I'm supposed to think of someone who drinks his whiskey neat ?"
"For fuck's sake ! Even your daughter is manlier than you ! Who drinks whiskey on the rocks ? How do you savor the taste of the heavenly drink? How do you call yourself a man, dude ?"
Harrison slapped the back of Alex's neck, "you stupid shit, how about you listen to me for a second ? I'm trying to help you !"
Alex stopped and let out a laugh, " the last time
you tried to help me I ended up a step away from death !"
"Yeah...except that time"
"What do you have in mind ?"
"Something you'll enjoy"
"He called me!"
Her aunt opened her eyes and kissed the cross before looking at June with a raised brow.
"Alex"
"Alex?"
June nodded. It's been a long time since there's had been any contact between her and Alex. She never thought he'd ever talk to her again after the incident.
"What did he tell you ?"
"He wants to meet me"
Poll nodded at her slowly before speaking, " you have to find out why he haven't uttered a word to Sebastian. There's still many things we don't know about and ignorance is dangerous"
June brought her jacket and prayed that she was doing the right thing.
"Why didn't you tell him ?"
Alexander smirked, " what are you trying to hide June?"
June narrowed her eyes
denial till the end ..
"What do you mean ?"
"What links you with Sebastian? Why is he out of the blue important to you"
"You know what I'm talking about June. You're smarter than that"
June bit the inside of her cheek, "I really do-"
"Cut that shit June ! What do you want from him ? His money ? Power ? Or are you going to use him as tool for revenge"
June's eyes widened, Alex knew more than he should. He was becoming a threat. Just like her aunt predicted.
"Let's add also accusing me of rape ! I could've easily went and filed a case and told Sebastian about how you're trying t-"
"What do you want ? " June asked .
Alex made a sarcastic surprised face, " Are you trying to buy my silence?"
June crossed her legs and waited, "I'm sure Alex you want something out of this, did Harrison teach you his dirty ways"
It was now Alex's turn to be surprised but he regained his calmness in no time .
"Since when do you know about Harrison?"
"I know what you want, I made a mistake when I trusted you into my firm, into my life. That dirty man will do anything to stay where he is and in the process discarding you"
Alex clenched his jaw, she knew about everything but did she know about his plan . Harrison was only a way to get to June and if he could do that then he is already half way there.
do you honestly think I trust someone like Harrison ?...
"You're trying to dodge your way out of this but you can't June. I've got you this time and no one could get you out my hands"
June gulped as she noticed Alex's hungry eyes, "what do you want, Alex ?"
"The same thing you're giving to Sebastian, what could a simple man like me want"
"Stop playing" she whispered
"You"
