Chapter 98 - Do you believe in Fate? (3) (1/2)

As Alex drove out the property, he noticed that his phone had several texts, missed calls and voicemails from April. He then connected his phone to the car and called her.

He didn't want to hide it from her. No matter what, she deserves to know what happened. He'd rather mentioned it to her first than letting Francesca say it to her.

Ring ring ring...

”Hello?” April answered.

”Baby, I'm sorry I didn't pick you up. Where are you? I'll head there.” Alex gripped the steering wheel as he drove into town.

”I'm home now. Josie picked us up. It's okay, is everything fine?” April sighed in relief. She was somewhat worried when she couldn't get a hold of Alex.

”I'm good, I'll explain everything when I get there. Wait for me.” Alex then started heading to the Burghley Mansion.

”Okay. I'll wait for you. Drive safe.” April said and then she hangs up.

Alex sighed. ”April, I'm so sorry.” He whispered even though the connection was already cut.

April looked at her phone. Somehow, she felt that something big happened. What could it be? She sat down on the couch. Lauri had taken care of Sky already and Josie left to go to the shop.

Just then, her phone rang again. It was a text from a number that she didn't know. As she opened the text message, her hand started shaking.

”Wanna know why Alex didn't pick you up this morning?”

”He spent his night with me and didn't wake up in time for you.”

Then there was an image of Alex starked n.a.k.e.d beside Francesca. To validate that it was really the current time and not an old photo of them. Francesca got Alex's phone on showing its wallpaper. It was the wallpaper of Alex, April, and Sky.

”We did it a lot of times, he was too tired to give a damn about you. Stay away from my husband!”

Her hands slipped and the phone fell into the floor. It didn't break since the fall wasn't far but her heart did. Just then, another picture came and it was a kissing picture of Francesca and Alex, still n.a.k.e.d in bed.
