In Love With The Enemy: A Love and Hate Story Book #1

29. I saved you...or did I?

Tristan Pov:

Hurt and Guilt filled my entire being as I stood rooted in my spot, listening to the pain in Alina's voice, while she spoke with her mother.

Some say I don't have such feelings or a heart at all, to care about someone, or have doubt and feelings. I thought the same, until I felt that foreign feeling inside me, reminding me about my wrongdoings.

I knew how much I hurt her and I didn't care. I continued to give her pain, whether it was physically or mentally.

My entire life consisted of power, always power no matter at what cost. Thats the thing about power. When people look up to you, and every decision you make reflects what happens next, feelings are forgotten and very much pain is involved.

Sometimes, I wish some things could be different, but I know that'll never happen. I had to do this for me, and for every person that my actions inflict or affect.

The moment Alina hung up the phone, she was already fast and ready to get away from me. I knew it by now that I couldn't take my eyes off her for one second.

She was unpredictable. I never know what she will do next if I give her the chance to. I didn't know what will happen next either, until it had already happened.

She ran while I chased behind her. Alina was no doubt, a fast runner. I would have been impressed if the situation was different.

I expected her to lock herself in one of these rooms, but instead she ran outside. It took me a few seconds to catch up to her.

When I did, what I saw next was shocking. My eyes roamed thoroughly, as I looked for her. I landed on the pool and found her in only a bra and panties, swimming.

After everything that happened today, I would have never thought she'd go swim. A part of me felt relieved, but another part of me was hesitant and anxious for her.

I just knew that something bad was gonna happen. She definetely wasn't the type of girl to be so calm after what took place not even fifteen minutes ago.

My feet had started moving straight towards the pool. When I bought this mansion, there was only a few times I went swimming in the pool. I knew though, that it was really deep and I didn't want her doing anything stupid.

"Alina." I called her name out, but she didn't answer me. I knew she heard me call her, and just decided to ignore me.

I kept walking to her in long strides, my eyes never leaving her. Every step I took closer, it felt as if she got farther from me.

A few steps later, I halted and left some distance between us. Sighing, I closed my eyes just for a few seconds, but that was the biggest mistake.

Everything around me was eerily silent, except for the cool breeze and the water fountains. Alina hadn't made a sound.

I couldn't even hear her Swimming anymore. It was like all of a sudden, she became too silent. I had opened my eyes, and was met with a surprise that wasn't so pleasant.

Alina wasn't swimming anymore. The pool had no traces  of anyone in It, which was really shocking since she was just swimming in it not even five minutes ago.

My anxiety rushed through me again, as I searched the pool with my eyes frantically.

I ran straight to the pool and looked everywhere, including around me, but didn't see her anywhere.

Then a thought popped up in my head. 'She couldn't have just vanished like that. What if she is underwater?'

I knew she could swim by the way she was swimming in the pool, but underwater was definitely deep and she wasn't in the right state of mind.
