Mine Forever [Completed]

Chapter 36.

Alexander's Pov~~

"I am actually a fool. "She said looking at me and then looking once again towards the river she said in a thoughtful manner.

"I never thought I'll end up like this. When I came here I had only one vision in my mind and that is to create my career, achieve great success, and become a role model for others and to find my soulmate. Though I did excel in my career by being the top supermodel and made a fortune to live but I failed in my love life. I chose to live with the wrong person all together."

"Alexi...I am truly very sorry.
Sorry for hurting you, for leaving you, for everything." She said sobbingly with tears in her eyes.

"I realized that it was only you who loved me with your whole heart and soul. You took care of me and made me happy in your own little ways. But I was too blind and I was too selfish because I wanted more than that. And it was my fault for not telling you what I need or how I wanted us to be together or how I felt all those times when you were away due to business reasons."

"Cherry..." I was about to ask her why she was telling me all this but she interrupted and continued talking.

"No....Alexi let me speak. Please."
I nodded in response and she continued again.

"I am the worst person on this planet right now. I am regretting all my decisions which I took that led me to my own sorrowful life. I thought Antonio will make me happy but he only gave me scars, scars which will never heal. Instead it's all a nightmare and I don't know what to do now? I am all alone!"

This time I interrupted her and asked,

"What do you mean Antonio gave you scars?"

She held her face down and said in a fearful voice.

He...he...he...tortures me. One day he forced me to sleep with one of his new business partner. But I refused to do so and he beat me to death and stayed at one of my friend's home that day. He is always drunk and in that state he gets more violent and I am unable to protect myself from his torture. And one day I couldn't take it anymore and left him. But then he came to me saying that he won't hurt me, that he loves me. But this time it was worse, he was selling me to some rich bastard for money. When I became aware of his stupid plan I took help of the law and got a restraining order against him. I came back here to be away from all these issues and start a new life.

She was now crying and begging for my forgiveness. She suddenly hugged me and I sighed and just kept my left hand over her shoulder to calm her down. I could sense that she really is hurt and finally found realization regarding whatever she has done in the past with me was wrong. Besides that she is also having some problems in her personal life. Maybe loneliness is her problem. I could see that she is stressed and have lost some weight.

I don't know if I should forgive her or not. Because all she did was use me and wanted to be big. Well, she did become so famous that now she is an important celebrity. When she left me to be with Antonio I thought she will be happy with him. Never thought he will put her in this state. She is so much different now. Like a fragile body with so much baggage of emotions. But why did that bastard treat her so badly?

"What about your parents?" I asked.

"They are Divorced."

"Oh."

"Alex...I am pregnant." She said in a whisper voice.

"It's Antonio's child and I don't know what to do? Where to go? How to manage? I am....just." She started to panic and I consoled her by making her quiet while hugging her gently.

She was crying on my shoulder and I couldn't see her crying so I said I'll help her in every way.

Her face lit up like a Christmas tree and she looked into my eyes holding many emotions which I couldn't decipher. But somehow seeing her in a bit of relief made me feels at peace. She doesn't deserve to be in such state.

"Have you visited the hospital for checkup?" I asked.

"Yes. I have met my personal doctor and a routine checkup chart is been given to me, along with that a diet chart as well."

"I'll arrange a person to take care of you at home. You don't have to do any chores by yourself and no driving, no alcohol. You should be very careful at this time. I'll arrange a driver as well.
Come I'll drop you home for now. You need to rest." I said with concern and mentally noted few things to be arranged for her, as well as saved the doc's contact number.

After dropping her off at her apartment and headed towards Ray's place i.e. Reney's.

"Hey buddy! How's our old man?" Ray came up and hugged me.

Greeted him back and said,
"Dad is a bit better now."
We sat in one of the inner booth and talked about few general things first about work and all. Then I told him about the Italy business trip.

"Oh I knew it. You two will end up together....Lucky bastard." Ray said in I-Knew-It-all look.

"Well, damn I am the luckiest, happiest man on earth right now." I proudly said to him with a smile. I was thinking about her but soon my thoughts got replaced by Cherry's face. Today's meeting came into my mind.

"What's the matter Alex?" Ray asked me and I discussed about Cherry with Ray. I told him all of the things that had happened today.

"Hmm...So she is pregnant and you're going to help her out but Scarlet is unaware of all these things. Are you crazy?" Ray said in a serious tone.

"I know... but do you really think that if I tell Scarlet about Cherry, she will be fine with my decision?" I asked him while pondering upon the matter.

"She is different man and she will understand you. Besides you are just helping out Cherry so there is nothing wrong about it. But just be careful while being with that damn drama queen. I don't know, out of all people why did she approach you to discuss all of her emotional turmoil." He said with a thought and now I was thinking about Scarlet.

Finally I decided that its better I talk about Cherry with my Dove. I don't want to have misunderstanding between us later on. Truth is I don't want to lose her in any way.
She is my world.
