Chapter 43 - Relapse (3) (2/2)
”Perhaps because she loves you? She only let her guard down towards the people, who she trust and knows. There could be multiple factors to this, I will need to study them first. I have only received this video this afternoon. An hour before you landed.” James replied as they arrived in the VIP floor. He guided his boss towards April's room, while talking.
”Okay, do that. Send Josie home for now, I'll take it from here.” Alex took a deep breath before he entered April's room.
James called Josie's phone, she was currently out to get some clothes for Alex and April. As well as dinner. She was told to do this by James' instructions.
-----
As Alex entered the VIP room, It had a complete set up of living room, restroom and a Queen size bed.
April was still sleeping. She look pale again, he noticed. Had she been sick when he was gone? How come she looked thinner? he wondered.
He sat down next to April's bed and grabbed her hand into his.
”Baby, I'm here. Can you open your eyes now? I'm sorry for being late. I wasn't able to be there for you, when you needed me to.” Alex held her hand and kissed on it. April didn't opened her eyes.
Alex felt extremely bad for April. He knew that he couldn't really blame his wife for this, he cheated on her. This was a fact, that he can't deny. It was his fault in the first place, for letting April come to his life or was it him coming to April's life? Either way, he finally decided to let go of Francesca. Being away from April, made him clear up some of his thoughts.
Even though he still loves his wife, He knew that their marriage was not worth saving for. He already made it beyond saving. Cheating on someone, was one of the greatest pain that you could ever do to your partner. He knew that Francesca deserves someone better. Someone who is content to just stay behind her and watch her grow. For Alex, he wasn't that guy. He was a selfish man, he wanted his partner's attention to himself.
He wanted to be loved and pampered. To be taken care of and to be showered by affections. As well as being able to reciprocate this feelings to that someone. Only then will it be worth it for Alex. Though his feelings for April was still small and just starting to bud out, he wanted to see were would it lead to. He also wanted to raise Sky with a whole family, not a broken one.
For this, he was finally willing to let Francesca go.
Alex kissed April's forehead. ”Baby, wake up. I miss you and I love you.” he whispered into her ears. Alex's hand slowly brush her hair away from her cheeks. Even though she looked pale, she still looked beautiful in his eyes. He smiled as he remembered when she confess to him. He couldn't wait to tell her the same thing.
