Chapter 73 - Changes in her heart (2/2)

-----

Time went fast, It had been about a week since April and Sky arrived.

April had left all her baggages in England, so that she could relax her in the States. She didn't want to think anything about the turmoils that she had recently went through. This vacation of hers, was a way to cleanse her mind as well as strengthen her heart and resolves.

Even Alex gave her some space. He would only call her about every two to three days. Checking on her and Sky's situation. Aside from that, he was mostly busy. For what it was, only he would know. April had never tried to ask, fearing that she would over step her boundaries.

When there is sunshine, there would be rain also. On the seventh day, April found a recorder on her bedside. Curious, she played it.

As soon as she heard it, she dropped the recorder on the floor. The tape kept playing as her mind reeled back. On the tape, it was playing Alex and Francesca's conversation. What stuck to her the most, was Alex's words.

”There is nothing going between us, Its all for Sky. Why are you getting jealous over a mentally crazy woman? This is getting ridiculous!” (Chapter 13).

For some reason, it was even on repeat. It repeated for at least 20 times, before it went silent. Luckily, there was also Francesca's voice. She learned that this conversation was right after they had just moved to England. Still, it shocked her. She knew that this must be Francesca's doing, but what could she do? She was right, Francesca was Alex's wife. Even till now, they were still married to each other.

As if it wasn't enough. April heard a different voice. She thought that the recorder stopped playing already, she guessed wrong. This time, it was a different voice. A male's voice. A voice she could never forget.

Her hand trembled. She started sweating. Again, images flashed into her mind. April pulled her hair, as she curled unto the floor. She bit her lips hard as she tried her best not to scream. April could taste the blood that was coming into her mouth.

It's him.. It's him.. She thought.

There was no mistake. It was that man that tormented her the most.
