Fated to be together or not [COMPLETED]

Sorry Alex

Nicolle:

Hot tears were flooding through my eyes at every whip sound. I could hear his grunts. His muffled screams trying to hide his pain. Trying not to let out a sound. And then he said Mom. She ordered 30 more and I heard him chuckle. How could she do that to her own son?

Words started coming back to my mind when I was trying to light the burner. Alex had gasoline on himself and he was saying.

"This is your kid Nicolle. You will love him. How can a mother say this about her child. He is your blood, born out of you for God sake. He is yours."

"Ok, Fine Do it. I am also very much troubled in my life. I lost so much and still losing. Let's do it. Ignite the burner and end both of our misery."

Now I get it. He was saying that for himself. he helped me in my studies because he never got a chance to live his dreams. He wanted to marry me because he thought I hate him and will never bother to take a glance over his messed up life. He wanted to take care of this child because he is not getting love from his own mother.

Since his suit was on ground, I couldn't hear everything properly and Thank God for that. I don't know what I would have done if I could hear every scream. I wanted to go to her room and stop all this. I wanted to shout on her. And why is he accepting all this. I am sure he is much strong than Mike. I have seen his punch. He really cares for me. He knew I was un-comfortable with that filthy man. All that care and concern on his face was real.

But for Mrs. Colton, all that love is fake? That's why Alex shouted on Shelly and Neil that day, because Terry Colton was here. When Alex is not in front of Terry Colton, he is real. Sweet, caring Alex.

I need to tell Emma. I need to tell her, what I found. She will tell me what to do next. Alex helped me and now its my turn to help him. I was about to call her when a thud echoed. Alex is here.

I ran towards the door, and saw Alex on the ground. I picked him up and was unable to contain my tears anymore. I hugged him which caused him to flinch. I could see blood all over his shirt.

I quickly called Alan. He was shocked to see my number but when I told him Alex is lying on the door, he said he is coming in a minute.

Alan helped Alex to lie down in his library and I saw the pain on Alex face, because most of the cuts were on his back. So Alan turned him around and used a scissor to cut his shirt.

I couldn't see it. His back was horrible. I think years of scars can leave your skin like this. Alan was applying antiseptic to his cuts and had already injected anesthesia. So Alex was sleeping.

"What happened Ma'am? Did he just collapse here, or he knocked and then?"

"I just heard him fall." I was crying non stop. "If I tell you who did this, you will feel the ground beneath"

Please don't tell me who did this." He didn't let me continue. "I don't think I will be able to control myself in front of that person next time. I have seen him for 8 years and my blood boils every time." Alan said with a clenched jaw.

I just nodded yes to indicate that I know what happened.

"I know who did this, and how."

"Does that mean you will help him? Please say yes."

"Yes, I will help him. I will pull him out of this swamp." I ran out and sat on my floor. Placing my head on my knees, I cried for a very long time. All this time I was cursing Alex about the things he didn't do. I am Sorry Alex.

I added peppers to his salad and he knew. But he was silent. Why? Because he didn't want to stress me. He managed to force Jack to confess that he broke the relation. He f*****g poured gasoline on himself to save me.

I woke up when Shelly came in the morning. I don't know when I drifted to sleep, because I was still on floor when she came with Roni.

"What happened Nicolle? Your eyes are all puffed and red. Did you cry whole night? BBro is such an insensitive person sometimes. But I never thought he would do this to you."

"No Shelly, its not what you think it is. I was just unwell yesterday night. He didn't know. In fact he is the one who makes me smile. I don't know what I would have done without him."

"If you say so. But yeah, Alex is nice sometimes.

"By the way, where is he?"

"He is at his office. Ask me something new."

He went to office, even after yesterday. He was injured. I quickly messaged Alan.

"Yes Ma'am."

"Alan, Is Alex in office?"

"Yes, he woke up at 5 and came early."

"How is he?"

"Do I really need to answer this question?"

I disconnected the call and started to think about what happened yesterday and quickly called Emma.

"Hey beautiful, how are you?"

"Emma...." I couldn't complete. I started to sob again.

"Nicolle, please don't cry. What happened."

"I was wrong Emma. It was not Alex."

"What do you mean?"

I explained Emma whatever I heard last night and she was shell shocked.

"So Alex only married you, because he knew you wanted to hurt him?"

"Hmm."

"Is he mad? Cant he say no to his Mom? He can take out his Mom's minions I am sure of this."

"I don't doubt that, but I think he is helpless and has something which is forcing him to follow whatever she says. But Emma, after what I heard, He didn't rape me, but he doesn't love me either. He did this just on the orders of his Mom. I think he also wanted to take care of my child."

"F**k Nicolle. She is so sick."

"And what's worse is I know he is coming home early because he has to scold me in front of everyone. I know he don't want to, but he will."

"Then give him a reason to."

"What do you mean? Can I force him to fight with me?"

"Yes. Do something that will actually piss him. You are there since a month, think of something. Change his room color, decoration. Destroy one of his files. Do something like this. He will not feel guilty then."

"You are right Emma. I need to think something."

"Best of luck Nicolle. If you need me, just let me know. I will fly to Seattle."

"I know you will. Thanks."

I need to find out who did this with me, and most importantly I have to help Alex. I cant leave him like this. He pulled me out of my mess, and now I will help him. Even if it includes doing something that will make him mad. I need to fight with him in front of her so that she doesn't punish him further. I cant tell him I know. Not right now at least.
