Alex's POV
I was left on the room all alone for another half hour. Chained on the desk.
Not the most comfortable thing I have to say.
Thankfully, the door opened and Dexter got in.
Before the door closes, a woman follows behind him and I soon realize who she is.
I try to sit up to show my respect but the chains don't let me stand up straight.
"Madam President!" I say with respect and bow lightly my head.
"Alex! Thank God you are ok." She said and came closer to hug me.
I was a little taken back from that to be honest. Why does the president care so much about me. Why is she even here?
I couldn't hug her back and when she noticed that, she also noticed the reason why.
She immediately called an agent from outside to untie me. She said that I didn't need handcuffs because I wasn't dangerous. Which is true.
"Thank you very much." I said as I was freed.
"The pleasure is mine. You are the best agent I have ever worked with and I am not saying that because you are m..." she started talking but she was interrupted by Dexter coughing.
"...because you are here. I am not saying that because you are here!" She said looking at Dexter that was standing behind her."No disrespect madam president but, why are you here? Don't you have more important things to take care of other than me?" I asked her genuinely curious.
I mean, it is not an every day thing that the president of the country pays you a visit to help you out of jail...
"I am here to help you. And that is all that matters." She said grabbing my arm.
She looked at me with a weird face, but I made me feel kinda warm and loved. I have never felt like this.
Don't get me wrong, I am not interested in her in a romantic way. No, not at all. I am totally happy with the women I already have. I could not ask for more. Plus, madam president is an old woman, for sure 20 plus years older than me. I could never look at her that way. But that doesn't mean she can't!
So I have to be careful. I have to make sure she knows I am not interested in her in that way.
But she makes me feel weird...
It is probably just because I admire her as a person and as a politician.
I took my hands away from her, slowly, trying not to offend her but she seemed a little hurt with my actions.
"That doesn't explain the reason you are here..." I told her trying to sound friendly but not too friendly.
"I don't believe it is fair for you to die after what you went through. It is a waste, such a good person." She said genuinely smiling at me.
"I don't want to offend you or anything but, you do know I am in a relationship, right?" I asked her.
Both her and Dexter started laughing their asses off.
"Oh, god dear you made me laugh! I was not trying to flirt with you and I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I was just being friendly." She said laughing.
"No, it is ok. I just wanted to make that clear. I don't want any more drama with my partners. My wife can be really scary. " I said laughing a little. "But I still don't get why you are here." I said and she sighed.
"After what you went through... every person would break. After so much abuse I don't blame you dear. And neither should the country. I believe it is unfair for you to be punished even more." She said to me.
"I am not the first person that will die for something like that and you know it. What is so special about me?" I asked her. Something is not adding up with her story.
She took a deep breath. "As you know, I was married for many years to a, not so good, man. Sure he seemed nice publicly but he was manipulative and close minded. But my parents chose him for me and I could not do anything to fight him or even escape from my marriage." She paused for a couple of seconds. Why is she telling me all these stuff? "After some time I got pregnant with our first child. My son, Eric. My daughter came after some years but what you don't know... what everyone does not know is that I was pregnant again before i had Lilly. We thought we were having a baby boy but, when the baby was born, they run some tests and found out that our baby boy was actually a baby girl. She just had an extra part that made her different." I don't understand where this is going. "When my husband found out he threatened to kill my baby because he thought it was an abomination. He believed that it was bad for his reputation to have a child like this and was determined to kill her. To be honest I did not like it either but I could not kill it. I managed to give my baby to my younger brother. " she said and look back at Dexter. "Unfortunately my husband found out and hunt them down. So my brother left the baby on a fire department and left. Erasing all his tracks." She stopped talking.
I don't believe this. I was left in a fire department when I was just days old.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked afraid to hear the answer.
"Because Alex," she said and grabbed my hands. "The baby I was talking about, my baby, my daughter... is you! And I am so sor..."
"STOP!" I told her firmly. "I don't want to hear it."
"Please Alex try to understand me." She plead me.
"I can not understand you. I never will! I have three kids and I would rather die than let anything bad happen to them. I can't sleep at night if I don't know they are safe. I sacrificed everything for them. I am here because of them. Because I love them and I will do anything for them. Because I am a parent and i love my kids no matter what! I don't fucking care how they look like or who they love or how different from 'normal' they are. Because they are my kids. They are a part of me and as a parent I am obliged to protect them." I told her getting out of my chair, trying to contain my frustration.
"Alex I..." she had tears in her eyes now.
"I am not here because I couldn't stand the torture. Hell, I don't even care if they would kill me. I am used to abuse from a young age. I couldn't care less. They had a sniper aiming at my daughter's head! That is why I talked. Because unlike you, I am a damn good mother and I always put my kids first." I am beyond angry right now.
Those are feelings I was pressing down since I was a kid. Feelings I didn't want to deal with. I preferred to think that my parents did love me but, they either didn't had the money or they died. But no! They are just a bunch of assholes that don't give a shit about me.
"Do you know what I went through in the system? Do you know how many houses I went through? How many people I was abused by? That I wanted to kill myself because nobody wanted me? A ten year old with a death wish. Because of you!" I said and now she was fully crying.
"I am sorry!" She said.
"I don't need your apology! It is too fucking late for that." I said.
"You are free to go Alex. We will take care of everything else." Dexter said not looking at my eyes.
"Good bye madam president. I really hope I don't see you again!" And with that I left the room, hearing her cry behind me.
