Desiree's POV
I decided to get out of my room after a week of being isolated from anyone, and I just happened to see Alexander outside, sitting at his desk with his eyes on his computer. I clear my throat so he can hear me, and when he sees me, he smiles.
His smile brightens my day and makes me feel something I can't explain: I feel happy and delighted just seeing him smile.
"Hi…" I greet him with a smile on my face.
He stop what his doing and he walk towards me, he pulled my hand and walk me to the kitchen to make some hot coffee for me. "Good morning, did you sleep well?"
I nod my head slowly and mumbled, "Hmm, yes."
I leaned against the sink, taking the coffee in his hand as he offered it to me, blowing it out before taking a sip because it was still hot. "I think I'll pay a visit to my family today... what do you think?"
"What if they question you about what happened to you? What are you going to say to them?" he inquires. "I'm going to tell a lie..."
"What kind of lie, Desiree?"
"If my parents find out what happened to me, it will cause chaos, and they will attack George."
"I understand you..." he remarked as he sat at the table, his fingers crossed.
"However, people will be aware of it because George is already in the news..."
"However, George never actually raped me; it was simply a..."
"A what?"
"He never rapes me; it's almost like a rape, but it's not." I frowned at him and he open his arms and just wanting to hug me, "Come here…"
"No," I shouted as I slammed the coffee cup down on the table and dashed upstairs, hoping to avoid him once more. Every time I think about George, I feel a sense of separation from Alexander, and I know he suffers because of that.
I pack my things and call my father to tell them that i'm coming over there house and they are happy about it.
"Oh its been a week I never heard from you, did you just resign from your job? And go back working again with Alexander?" my father ask.
"No dad…it's a long story, just say my hello to mom and tell her that I'm coming home." I said as I ended the call.
When I was about to open my door, I saw Alexander standing at my door and his eyes landed on my bag, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"I don't need you to protect me, I will going to be fine." I snapped at him and tried to walked away but he just take a hold of the back of my hand.
"Please don't go away, I have a bad news for you."
I turned my head to him and ask, "What kind of bad news?"
"Very bad, George is already out of the prison because he used his connections to get out of there…the police officer who is in charge of his case deleted all the evidence to make him free and look innocence in the eyes of the court."
I became angry and I sighed, my heavy is breathing and its like my chest is getting heavy and painful, "I need to see Evon, and…how about Margareth?"
"And who is Margareth?"
"She was my co-worker, she told me yesterday that George did the same to her, I am sure George will get back to them and they are going to suffer."
Alexander shook his head. "No…he is not after them, he is after you, Desiree. So you need to be cautious."
My lips tremble and he cupped my face and looking me directly in my eyes, "And you don't have to be afraid of him, you will always have me by your side and together we can fight him." He added.
"I don't know, I am scared…I don't know what I need to do. I am so scared." I said while I am holding my tears back, I don't want them to fall because George doesn't deserve my tears at all.
"Desiree…don't worry about him, if he strike again, I am going to make sure that he's dead." Alexander said, I hold his hand, "You don't have to kill him."
"But he deserves to die."
"He deserves to suffer, not to die." I said, I clecnhed my teeth and he smikred at me, "Okay if that's what you want."
"I have to go now…"
"But I am coming with you."
I sighed, "If you get involved-"
"I am already Involved Desiree, what's the point of not protecting you? Let me ptortect you." He said, his voice is like pleading me.
"Okay fine, wheres your car?" I ask him, "there." He pointed the parking lot.
"The let's go? My mom and dad is expecting me today, Ialready told them that I'm coming to visit them, what I need to to tell them if they will ask you that you are with me?"
He smirked, "Tell them that we are dating, your dad knows that were dating so its not new anymore."
"But that was fake."
"Yes it is…"
He run downstairs and I just stare at him, I am thinking why I am arguing to this man? He is so perfect and dating him is not a problem with me, why he doesnt want to confessed yet to me? I 've been waiting for him to confessed.
"Are you coming or not?" then I just heard a baritone voice asking for my answer.
Uh, Yeah, I'm coming. Sorry…" I said and just walk downstairs slowly, he is waiting for me on the parking lot when my phone suddenly ring and it's Evon that called me, "Hey girl…" I said.
"Oh gosh, thank god you are fine…"
"Yeah, I'm fine, how about you?"
"I decides to fly to rome…I think I don't belong there."
"Oh really…have a safe trip and just update me of whats happening to you."
"Yeah sure."
