Love Isn't The Way.

Chapter 13

I can't believe that this is the same Alec, he really agreed to move in with me. The next day he packs his bags and moves in with me. I still am so confused about the engagement that I can't focus on our relationship,that was the reason I didn't want to wear it actually. As both our profession suggests,we had to leave for work in morning. I was kind of happy that I could a little space away from him.

'See you tonight, Mrs. Anderson' He said before we both went to our respective cars.

'What?' Mrs Anderson, seriously.

'Nothing,bye'Someday he will have a bruised because of his attitude.Not that he hasn't had there before as well.I silently chuckle at the thought.

I just waved and headed for My sanctuary. As soon as I barge in, everyone looks at me like I have grown two heads but quickly move there heads because it's me. I check my face in the mirror in the elevator to make sure I didn't have anything on my face.Why were they looking at me like that? I check my watch and almost drop my coffee that I had picked on my way here,It's freaking 9. I never enter the building after 8:30.No wonder they were all staring.It's Alec's fault after all that I slept in. Idiot. I am met my Sarah outside my cabin door with my schedule and meetings. The day goes by just as I expected.Busy,Busy. I am sometimes kind of grateful for the extreme work load, it helps me forget things for a while. I finish all my work by 5 and head home as usual. I love my place. It has a staircase which leads to two rooms ,one of them mine and a small pool and downstairs 1 extra room near the entrance for James and one big room with my library and study area,kitchen and my balcony.And oh, I also have a helipad for my personal helicopter.I know,It's awesome being me.

I haven't been here since Saturday so I decide to do some work. I finish the placing everything in it's place and then order something to eat when James comes in.

'Ma'am, you called for me ?' he asks briskly.

'Yes, I want you to call Mrs Polly to come and do a little cleaning of the house while I am in the office,please.

'Yes,Ma'am' he nods and leaves and I notice the small blush at the mention of Mrs Polly. Hmm, something's brewing. I pick up the laundry and take it to my room to fold it and keep it in the closet. It's like I feel him before I can see him, I turn around and see Alec leaning on the door like in a GQ photo shoot.I smile seeing him.

'Hi' Why am I smiling, I mentally ask myself

'What are you doing?' he frowns

'I'm making Pancakes, want some?' I roll my eyes.

'I can't imagine you in a kitchen with utensils and food,it'll be a disaster' he chuckles lightly.

'Are you done,fancypants?' 

'No, I-I actually wanted to talk to you about something,can we go to the living room' I have never seen him nervous more than I have seen him in the last three days.

'Okay' I quickly follow him out.

As soon as we sit down, I can see him jittering, this must be important as fuck if he is acting like this. I hold his hand and he looks at me and nods when I nod back,he starts speaking.

'I don't know how else to say this but...but I left the Mafia world' For  a few seconds I just stare at him trying to decipher what he said and when it finally clicks in I shriek.

'WHAT??!! WHEN?? WHY????!!!' I bombard him with questions.

'5 months ago, I decided that I am going to get you back and if I want you back in my life then I will have to lose the Mafia world. I  was in the mafia world because my life didn't have any purpose, I was just meandering through life through violence and blood and pain, I made Darkness my sanctuary and then you walked in my black life and suddenly everything was on fire, I had a new purpose,YOU and maybe I can survive without that Darkness but not without you. I don't only need you,I need every part of you,your happiness,your joy,your problems,your trust,your love and also your pain. I am willing to give anything for you Zenda' I hadn't realised but he was holding my hand with iron grip as if I was going to vanish any moment.
