Rose & Thorn

Chapter 23. End of my Freedom

Alexander"s POV

Staring at the dark star studded blanket above, I still can't stop thinking about her she's playing with my sanity, the blood is now dried on my palm she's just like this wound no matter how much you try to distract yourself from pain and it's feeling it's always present with you, the rattling of sliding door behind me announces Ad's arrival,

"Man you're impossible after killing that heirless fucker you're standing here nonchalantly" he sighs,

"You took care of that mess right?" I enquired still looking into infinity,

"How I can not" he grumbles "but for real Alex why did you do it you know the rules"

"When you know I'm very much aware of the rules then you don't have to fucking teach me Ad besides we make rules to protect the people not to hurt them" he looks at me with arched brows "And neither I've broken any rule"

"How's that?"

"He's not heirless he have an heir" I took sip from my drink,

"Wait.. wait.... wait.... wait.... How can you say that?" Ad squints his eyes in disbelief,

"His name is Aiden he's a made man, he's an underground fighter" Owen found him he was planning to kill Dan and take over,

"That doesn't make him his son" I mentally sigh already done with his questionnaire,

"The fact that he impregnated a stripper from his club years ago, Owen found him when Dan found out that she was pregnant he killed her and was about to do the same with baby but one of his men saved him he raised him as his own but after knowing his true identity he's thirsty for revenge and was planning to kill him, pity he won't get his revenge now" I'm sure he'd be after me but I'll manage that kid,

"Well that's quite a dramatic tale of boy" he said leaning on the balustrade "Yet it's was no less dramatic to see you become all spider man for the poor girl" he chuckles,

It's best to avoid him and his nonsensical remarks,

"Trying to avoid me" he smirks "Come on don't be a bitch I can see that the care you've for her, the way you looks at her, it's quite clear that you lik" without giving him a chance to speak I grab his collar to warn him not to say a word,

His words are cutting me, he's saying the thing that I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear what I feel for her I want to forget that I feel this way for her, it angers me, irritates me, I can't feel anything for her I don't feel anything for anyone.

"I don't care about her" emphasising each word I snarl at him, who is still smirking like evil,

"What happened to your hand" I let go of him with an push "might have hurt yourself while saving her, saving her hurts you" I glare at him "You say you don't care but your fucking behaviour says otherwise"

Take a deep breath Alex he's doing it on purpose, he wants you to spill out the fucking feelings you've for her, he shouldn't know that I can't stand anyone even thinking about her, that I want to keep her with me so I'll protect her,

"Alright bro chill out but seriously I'm thankful, that you saved her I was hating how he was behaving with her" why? "I was about to punch his gut out but you shoot it out"

Why does he care so much for her?

And why does it bother me?

I hold the metal grill tightly turning my knuckles white, it makes me uneasy that he cares for her, I don't like it a single fucking bit and I hate the fact that I'm feeling like this for my best friend for a girl I don't even know properly,
