Mr. and Mrs. Executive

Chapter 1

Nora James P. O. V

"Your family's in the hospital."

The words resonate around the room and settle into an eerie silence.

"What? How?" I blurt out.

My mind was a haze of muddled questions and that was the only thought that broke the fog.

"There was an accident," Damien breathes out, gasping for air and trying to control his harsh breathing, "Stella and Abby they..."

As Damien trails off, red bold neon lights flash in my head at the prospect of what could have actually happened.

The worst of them all left me feeling uneasy and mortified.

"What happened?" I question, stepping forward and grasping onto Alexander's cold clenched hand.

"They're both critical, in the ICU." I hear the now distant voice murmur.

The weight pressing onto my chest lifts a minute amount.

There was still hope at the very least.

Swallowing I watch as Damien leaves once more, murmuring about flights and check outs.

A tugging makes me look at Alexander who hadn't said a word up till now.

Removing my hand from his, he turns away from me and hurriedly grabs the bags.

"Alexander." I whisper out placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Just don't," he snaps at me as he shrugs my hand off his shoulder, "I don't have time to cater to your neediness."

With that he strides off out of the hotel room and down the lobby, suitcases in tow leaving me behind feeling a multitude of emotions from sadness to confusion to hurt.

********
The plain ride back home was in complete silence.

Damien himself wasn't a talkative man and Alexander didn't seem to want my company.

Worry consumed me of not only Stella and Abby but on top of that why Alexander was being so harsh and cold towards me.

I thought in each others time of need we would have well each other.

I keep glancing at my phone continuously but I had gotten no further updates.

Turning my head, I look over to Alexander who was sitting rigid in his seat looking out of the small window.

Looking away from him to Damien, I try to convey the message in my eyes and luckily enough he gets it.

Damien clears his throat which snaps Alexander's attention to him.

That was the most reaction he'd shown up till now.

"I'm going to have a word with the captain." Damien says smoothly.

Alexander nods his head and turns to look out the window once again.

The opening and closing of the cabin door reaches my ears and that's when I slip my hand into Alexander's.

Squeezing his hand gently, he makes no move to reciprocate my gesture and just sits there in all his icy rigidness.

"Alexander." I mumble.

He ignores me and still looks out that god damn window.

"Alexander." I say more fiercely.

"What?" He snaps and look at me.

And that's when I saw it.

The cold icy look he gives me makes my heart clench in fear.

Fear of what?

I don't know but I would do anything to have the playful, joking  Alexander, despite the situation at hand.

"I-," words don't leave my mouth at his sharp glare and all I can do is stare at him.

"Alexander it's going to be ok-"

"Don't you dare tell me it's going to okay Nora for fucks sake." He says cutting me off.

"It will be, just have hope. They're both stable for now and it's going to be okay. I know you're hurting but."

Alexander rips his hand from my grasp and stands up.

"You couldn't possibly know could you?" He says sardonically

"What's that supposed to mean?" I question standing up as well.

"Just fuck o-," he stops just in time, catching himself while I stand there wide eyed in disbelief, tears coming to my eyes.

He groans out loud as he rakes his hand through his hair.

Looking at me, he shakes his hand and walks out of the cabin, slamming the door shut behind him.

What the hell was happening?
