Alexander's POV
Looking in the direction of it, my eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at the person at the door. As they walked wholly into the ward, I just lowered my head and sat back on the bed. “How are you feeling now?” Amelia was the first person to ask, wearing a sympathetic look. My lips curved to a lopsided grin, of course, I don't need that now, and in fact, I'm the happiest man in the world. Everything is finally clear to me, my Kiara loves me and only me alone. “Please don't tell me Granny has found out about it?” I suddenly asked, peering from Amelia's face to Mack's. Mack only scoffed, then rolled his eyeballs. “Do you even care how you've gotten here last night?” Mack raised his voice, probably annoyed with the whole situation. I grinned widely, “That's why I've always got you, buddy” I paused for a quick moment as if I just heard what he just said correctly, “What did you mean by last night?” I asked then tilted my head in the direction of the window, surprising, it was morning already as the sunshine was already falling warmly. “It's morning already. Granny and I were so worried about you last night, we called your phone several times, but you wouldn't pick up. Later, Mack called me and said that you're not feeling too well and would be passing the night over at his place” Amelia narrated, sitting close to me on the bed.
Pursuing my lips, I couldn't utter a sound, and deep down I'm not sorry because in my mind if I hadn't gotten drunk and was beaten up then I might not be able to see the revelation in my dream. “You guys should be thankful I ended up like this” I pronounced the first words that came into my mind. Smiling, I watched as Mack and Amelia exchanged a glance. “Are you okay, Alexander?” Mack asked anxiously, getting on his feet and walking closer. “Do you want us to get the doctor?” Amelia put in, looking more worried. I shook my head resolutely, still smiling, “I'm fine guys, I'm just so happy right now” I told them before readjusting on the bed, “I know you are already thinking in your mind what's the reason behind my happiness” I began again and Amelia only nodded, confirming my guess. “It's Kiara, she still loves me” I beamed with great happiness, the last time I felt this kind of elation was when I discerned that she also loves me as much as I love her. Rubbing his forehead, “I can see she came here and told you that, isn't it?” Mack said nonchalantly, but I was too busy bubbling with pleasure that I couldn't react to his words. So, I just faced Amelia and continued, “It was a dream, Amelia. A dream that felt real” She looked at me with interest as I spoke, hinting at me to continue, and I was glad. At least, someone was ready to hear me out.
After relating all that I saw in my dream, even Mack's jaw dropped open in surprise. “This is destined fate, I must say” He uttered, nodding his head. “But what about the last part, won't she get hurt in the end?” Amelia also spoke her mind, looking troubled. “This is why I have to get her back soon at all cost. I can't imagine myself losing her again, no, I can't” I enunciate, becoming serious now. “So what's the plan now? Again, I still don't get it, Alexander, if Kiara truly loves you, then why is she being so hard?” Mack interrogated, his face showing a discontented expression. I chuckled, Mack's question made me recall her little fit of rage. I'm sure she was not aware that she was still pretty, even at how enraged she looked. “In her opinion, she believed I have loved and got married to another woman at the little space of her disappearance” Amelia nodded, “It's natural for her to be like that, I'm a woman too” The atmosphere became silent all of a sudden, with a lot of thoughts evolving in our minds. “Do you have a plan?” Amelia asked softly. Nodding my head slowly as a brilliant thought sneaked into my head, “Mack,” I called unexpectedly, he almost flinched but soon regained his composure. “You're going to bring a business proposal template to the so-called Henry Torres” I announced, and his eyes widened very much. “Come on, Alexander, do you think he would accept it? Knowing you're his fiancé ex-fiance?”
“He knows nothing, Mack, so stop talking nonsense and get to work now” I ordered in a bossy-like tone. “What do you plan to do next after he agrees?” Amelia quizzed, looking more curious. “It's simple dear. From there, I'll be to get access into him accurately” I winked at Amelia who only smiled and twisted her lips, “I just hope it all works out” She said silently, “Me too” Right then, Mack announced his departure and left for the assignment immediately. After Mack evacuated the private ward, “What should I tell Granny? And the doctor had said you'll be discharged tomorrow” I withdrew my gaze from the curtain and my gaze fell back on her, “I'm getting discharged now” Her eyes widened in shock, “No, Mr. Alexander, what about the bandage wrapped around your head?” I blinked my eyes twice, I'd completely forgotten about it. “Don't worry, I'll come up with an excuse”
The following day…
I was in bed, however, working on my laptop, typing continuously on it. Suddenly, my phone buzzed beside me. I picked it up and pressed it to my ear without peeking at the caller ID. “I'm in downstairs, boss” I heard Mack's voice, then I ceased my movement at once. “Should I wait downstairs or come up?” I shut my eyes briefly then answered him, sarcastically, “No, keep waiting for me downstairs” With that, I hung up then tossed the phone to one side. Several minutes have passed, I was still waiting for him to barge into the room like he normally does, but to my surprise, he was not coming in. Frowning, I picked up my phone again and dialed his number, “Do you have a death wish? Why aren't you coming up?” I spoke into the phone angrily, immediately he picked up at the second ring. “You asked me to keep waiting for you downstairs, didn't you?” I shut my eyes, restraining myself from jumping out of the bed, rushed downstairs then send two punches to his jaw. “Come up,” I said in a low voice and hung up again. Shortly, a knock came on the door, “Just come in, you idiot” I fumed, and the door opened at once. Grinning, “How are you doing, boss?” He asked, pacing into the room with a big brown envelope in his hand. “Tell me, how did I go?” I asked keenly, waiting for him to get close, so I can snatch the envelope from him. “Well…” He began, “I'm not in the mood for your trifles, Mack. Now give it to me” I wore a serious look, indicating that he should quit his attempt to make silly jokes at the moment. Pursuing his lips and shutting up willingly, he stretched out the paper and I snatched it from him, then open the content afterward. Instantly, a wide smile appeared on my face. “He really did agree, Mack!” I exclaimed happily, jumping out of the bed. Tossing the paper aside on the bed, I pulled him into my embrace, “Thank you so much, Mack” I said with a deep sense of gratitude. He patted my back and I could feel him smiling already, “What are brothers for?” Shortly after, we disengaged from the hug, but my smile remained undiminished. “His assistant told me Henry Torres would like to meet you tomorrow” Curling up my lips, “Sure, sure,” I said resolutely, I couldn't contain the happiness that was steaming in my chest at that moment.
Sitting next to each other in the courtyard, Amelia and I gazed at the sky, with a radiant smile on our lips. “Even the stars are happy tonight, Mr. Alexander” She teases, sneaking a glance at my face. As soon as she got back from work, I shared the good news with her, and she was also pleased to hear that Henry Torres has agreed to sponsor my company even when he had never met me before. Although in the real sense, I don't need his support, it just appeared to be the only means I could get close to him in order to reach Kiara. “Haha” I chuckled, enjoying the great view across the sky. “You seem to be having a nice time at work lately” I suddenly said, still not peeking at her face, but I could feel her intense gaze on me already. “Hmm… I… I don't… understand, sir” She gabbled, readjusting on the seat. I smiled then looked over at her face, “Do you think I'll be mad at you if I learned that you're in love with someone?” I asked gently as we both looked straight into each other's eyes. Discarding her gaze from my face, “No, but I'm not in…” Her sentence trailed off with her cheeks morphing into a darker shade of red. I burst out in hearty laughter while looking at her with interest, “You're quite interesting, Amelia. Look, you couldn't even complete your words which only means one thing” I said meaningfully, and I watched as she put her lips into her mouth. “You are in love, Amelia, and you're now at brim that you can't even deny it again” I enlightened, but all she could do was lower her head. At that moment, I knew her only wish was for the ground to open and swallow her whole. “Please, sir, I don't want Granny to know about this” She choked on her words, and it was then I realized that she was already whimpering silently. I curled my lips to an especial arc, comprehending why she had said that. I moved closer to her, and gently wiped the tears off her cheek, “Love can't be stopped, Amelia” She looked into my eyes directly, “So you're just going to tell her?” I smiled and shook my head, “You'll do that yourself dear, and even me would love to meet him soon” She covered her face with her palms upon hearing my words and I just laughed. “So, tell me, how did you guys meet?” I questioned inquisitively, and a bright smile formed on her rosy lips immediately. “I met him on my first day of resumption in school, and we are course mates. Honestly, he proved to me, he was a jerk right on our first day of meeting” My brows furrowed as I intertwined my arms together, “After, I discovered that he was my sister's boyfriend, Callie.” She paused for a quick moment then continued, “So one day, he dragged me into a space in the name of revenge and asked me to kiss him” She lowered her gaze, her last words were extremely low that I'd to strain my ear to hear it. Suppressing my lips to a tight line to stop myself from laughing out, “So you kissed him and Callie caught you in the act?” I reckoned, and her eyes widened in surprise, “How did you know that?” I grinned, “I guessed right, baby. So now, you guys are disciplining in the same firm?” Hiding her crimson by lowering her head, she nodded,and my smile only grew deeper. “Who would have thought that my little wife could fall in love just like that?” I poked fun at her, wrapping my arm around her shoulder. A silence stepped in for a moment, “But hold on, Amelia, how could you fall in love when you're actually a married woman?” I asked in a cold voice, looking into her eyes seriously. She was startled by the coldness in my eyes, she kept parting her lips but couldn't utter a sound. I burst into laughter, seeing how uneasy she had become. She also laughed and then nudged my arm playfully, “That was not fair, sir” She pouted, still nudging my arm. I got on my feet then stuck my tongue at her, “Catch me if you can, darling” and with that, I ran into the house, laughing uncontrollably.
