Chapter 68 - Finding the Culprit (3) (2/2)

Seeing those tears, he felt his heart tightened. Like someone was squeezing it dry. He sat down beside her, wiped her tears away and pressed her head against his chest.

”I am here for you. No matter what you had been through. I don't care any of those. Please let me in, let me shoulder this things for you.” He kissed her hair. Alex could feel her trembling on his chest.

”Where were you? *sobs* They are coming for me.” Her voice was extremely weak and shaky. She said those words in between her crying.

Alex hugged April so tight. ”I'm sorry for leaving you. I'll never let them take you away from me. As long as I am here, I will protect you.” He closed his eyes, fearing that he too would cry.

April didn't respond and just kept crying. She poured herself out to him. She missed this warmth, the feeling of being protected by the man she loves and cherished. If only Alex was hers, then she wouldn't doubt herself. But she can't, she couldn't see herself beside him anymore.

They were right, she didn't deserve this happiness. She wanted to break free but how? When she is constantly bombarded by those things. Those horrible things. They didn't want to part ways with her. They were her Demons.

”Do you have any clue who sent you those?” Alex asked. Although he didn't want to make her think about those stuff, he had to know at least if she had any ideas in mind.

The first thing that popped out on her head, was his wife. Even though the man that kept haunting her dream would likely to take revenge on her, she somewhat guess that this wasn't his cup of tea. He would rather snatch her out of the blue, than torment her like this.

Francesca was more likely, because of their situation. April knew how terrible his wife is and yet she couldn't bring herself up to say it. April could only shake her head.

”It's alright, we'll find those people. Once we do, I'll do everything to get rid of them away from you. This I promise.” Alex caressed her hair, comforting her with his promises.

April hugged him tightly. If only that was easy, she thought. If it turns out to be his wife, what would he do? Would he really let go of her? Let go of their 10+ years of love and marriage? Although April thinks that Alex would certainly do the right thing, there was still a little doubt left in her.
