THE UNWANTED BRIDE

CHAPTER 12: CONFESSIONS ☑️

🩶 ALEXANDER'S POV🩶

The next day bright and early after asking my E.A to cancel all my appointments, I gathered the bag of essentials I packed for Kimberly and drove to the hospital to visit her. She's getting discharged today and I have to show how this situation has forced me to turn over a new leaf.

The sooner they buy what I'm selling, the sooner my life can go back to normal. Just as I'm about to push the door open, I hear voices inside the room. At first I thought it may be her brother but when I open the door slowly and peek inside— Xavier Santorini sits on the edge of Kimberly's bed. He's saying something to her but she's still sleeping.

I don't make my presence known waiting to find out what this guy's deal really is, when it comes to her.

"Kiki I can't bare to see you in this condition. You know the first day I saw you struggling to carry those shopping bags, I thought you were simply the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.  Those eyes bewitched me immediately when they landed on me and that smile of yours always warms my heart."

Was he serious? Professing his feelings for my wife in a hospital room I was paying for? Did I mention she's my wife?

Unbelievable.

The sad sap continues to drone on. "Whenever I see sadness in those beautiful orbs of yours, I feel my heart breaking because you deserve the best and you should be loved and cherished more than that Jerk you call a husband does. You have taught me so much and the one thing that I would never be able to tell you when you're conscious is..."

He really is going to confess. This son of a gun is going to confess his love for my wife and he doesn't have any shame doing it in front of me.

He doesn't even know you are there dude. My mind taunts.

I don't care because this is very disrespectful. What if Kimberly knows of his feelings towards her? Will she leave me and be with him? This isn't good for my plan. I need to keep her far away from him before they ruin everything for me.

"I love you Kiki and every time I see you sad and down it just makes me feel bad because I know how much your promise to your Dad means to you. I just wish you could let me be the one to make you happy for the rest of your life princess."

The fucker confesses and I'm fuming. I just want to go in there and bash his face in but as I was about to enter, I hear her voice.

"Xavier why are you crying?" She asks her voice panicked but soft. "It's really not that serious, I'm getting discharged today actually."

When he doesn't say anything, she beckons him to her, hands wide open. "Come here. I think you need one of your bear hugs," she attempts to joke but he doesn't crack a smile but what he does do is get up and hug her.

The action is so intimate and she seemed to enjoy it. Anybody who walks in here would think they are in love.

"I love you Xav, thanks for coming to visit me. You are the best thing I ever had," she professes.

As I watch them practically fall in love with each other, a thought crosses my mind. At least this makes it easier for me to use her to get my inheritance back without feeling guilty about it.

I left them to enjoy each other's company which they seem to like so much and since she seems happier with him.
