"Richie this is Bryan." Alexa said.
"It is Mr. Bryan to you, Alexa's husband. It is certainly not nice to meet you."
"Husband?" asked Richie in shock.
"Is this a joke Alexa?"
"Are you so desperate to get money that you went about searching for a fake man that you can call a husband? So what now?
You want me to feel jealous and beg you to come back because you found yourself a man that he can wear fake expensive clothing so he can look rich in front of everyone, is that it?"
"PFF.."
"Fake and expensive clothing? where did you pick this pathetic wannabe from Darling?" Bryan interrupted Richie.
"What did you say to me punk?" Richie asked.
"I called you a pathetic wanna be or do you now have something wrong with your ears as well as been stupid in the brain" Bryan said with a straight up looking fierce face. He was a gentleman alright but he was as well damn sure wanting to punch the hell out of Richie because he was just too disrespectful.
"Hey...calm down both of you please. Richie you have been making a scene since you saw me and it is enough." Alexa shouted standing in between both of the two men.
"Richie, Bryan is my husband and we are married and there is nothing you can do about it. So you will respect him, understood?"Alexa said to Richie.
"I will investigate this and get to the bottom of the charade."Richie responded.
"Do whatever you like, now excuse us and do not ever bother me again Richie." Alexa held the hands of Bryan as they walked out of Richie's sight.
Richie not only felt angry that Bryan made a fool out of him but he was really hoping that she was lieing because you could see the look on his face showing jealousy.
As Alexa walked towards the lobby leading to the entrance of the surgery room, she kept rubbing her forehead, you could see that she was feeling all stressed out and it was definitely because of Richie's meeting.
"Are you OK? Bryan asked.
" I will be lieing If I say I am Sir but.....but it is just that....hmmm." Alexa exhaled.
"I will be fine for sure. Do not worry about me Sir."
"So how is your mom?"
"She is inside the operation room, they did not allow me go in with her. I really want to know what is happening in there. I just pray it goes well." Alexa said moving her body anxiously, troubled and scratching her head with her eyes becoming wet as some tear ran down just one eye.
"I am sorry Sir. You helped me with bills and yet I am hear crying instead of saying thank you. I and my family are grateful to you boss." Alexa said with tears in her eyes.
Bryan walked closer to her as he could no longer stand her sadness.
He pulled her close. You could see she was shocked but just had no strength to pull back.
Bryan closed his arm around her and gave her a comforting hug, patting his hands gently on her back. He rolled his eyes because it felt strange but it felt more strange not comforting a beautiful Lady that suppose to be your wife.
"Everything will be fine I promise Alexa."
"Thank you Sir" Alexa said while still leaning on Bryan's body as she exhaled his amazing manly Cologne.
It was so peaceful being there for a short while and she stopped crying and then she let's go.
Drawing her running nose because of the tears, Bryan pulled out an handkerchief and handed it over to her to dry her eyes.
"You should stop calling me sir or boss outside, we are supposed to be married Alexa remember?" Bryan said.
"Yeah sir...I mean Bryan, I am used to calling you boss but I Will try my best to call you Bryan."
"Honey....that should do the trick."
"That will be very hard sir...sorry Bryan but yeah I will try as I said." Alexa assures him.
"Oh yeah before I forget, the real reason why I am here is to hand you some documents." Bryan reached into his coat and brought out some envelopes and handed them over to her. She was shocked but wandered what they were.
"This is the overall paid fees of a prestigious boarding school in the country for your younger brother. Go through everything and he can start soonest. Whatever you need and any changes you wanna make let Fred know. He has your number so he will call you later and you guys can talk the whole thing through OK?"
"Boarding school?, that must be very expensive sir but why a boarding school?" Alexa asked with worries.
"Alexa me and you will be together, at least for a while and this could be long. We would go for meetings with families and friends and mostly you will be with me. Besides i went to a boarding school and I made great connections there too. But if you do not like it just talk to Fred Alexa and make any changes OK? But at least let your brother know his options, do not be surprise he will like the idea."
"OK Sir, thank you so much for this."
"Secondly we have arranged for a nani that will be Taking care of your mom as soon as she is discharged from the hospital after her treatments. She will have anything she needs and you can go see her whenever you like."
"See her? I do not understand you Sir. What do you mean?" Alexa said in shock.
"You will be leaving with me as soon as your mom is discharged. We have to look like a couple."
Bryan continues....
"I am sure my grand dad would want to Monitor us to see if we are really married and leaving together so before that happens we better just do it to save face."
"This is happening all so soon Sir..... are you sure we can do this well?"Alexa asked.
"It is too late to get frightened now. Do not worry, we can do this OK? Just follow my lead and we will be fine. I will allow you take this all in."
Bryan lifts Alexa's chin up to look at him, he moves closer to her and smiled and said...
"This is your life from now on darling."
