🌹CHAPTER TWENTY - ONE🌹

Seeing him stand there makes me feel the love that I've always held for him but now it seems even deeper than before and it brings me nothing but the purest joy. Even when for me it feels like a day has passed and no more, yet I do know that a year has gone by and quickly.

Alexander is the same. Except for the fact that he has grown a beard and he looks more like a man. "I thought you'd never wake up" He says as he walks over to the bed and pulls me in for a hug. I don't deny his hug and I hug him back. Just feeling him again makes me feel the love.

Though this is a bit different than it was before but it still makes me feel like then happiest woman on earth. "I love you" I whisper to him. He needs to know that I do love him and my feelings for him have now changed, as it only has been like a day for me but what I fear most are his feelings and them not being the same that they were a year ago.

"I love you" He says and breaks the hug as he looks at me and I can see it in his eyes, there is love. The love that he feels for me and will always feel for me and this moment is the happiest of my life, being with him makes me more happy than I can ever explain.

The tears are forming in my eyes but happy tears. He sits down on the bed. "I need to ask, who shot us?" I ask him. I don't think anyone has explained that to me and I really want to know. He sighs as he looks at me with sadness. "Rose, while you were in a coma, a lot of things happened" He says.

He makes it sound like something terrible happened. "While I can't be sure what your mother or Lena told you about that day but the shooter and the one responsible was found" He says to me and I take his hand, as things seemed to be hard for him to say for some reason.

"Who was it?" I ask him, wanting to know who would want to hurt us is something that I need to know. He looks down but once he looks up at me into the eyes I can see that he has tears in his ones. I hold his hand tighter. "It was my your mother's friend, the hairstylist" Alexander says and I gape at him.

What? How could she do that? She's always so sweet and kind to me but then I must remember that she is an assassin and she did once offer to shoot someone. But what I don't get is why she would shoot us. "I don't understand" I tell him confused.

I have no idea what is going on but I would like to find out. "Rose, she did not want to do it and she did turn herself in. She was forced to shoot us but she made sure that both of us made it and she shoot us in a way that would keep us alive, despite what she was ordered to do" He says and I need to know who'd want to hurt us.

The tears in my eyes fall down my cheeks as I feel sorrow as the person that I've known my whole life, she's been there with my mom and me for as long as I can remember and I don't know what to think of this thing. "Who hired her?" I ask him after a moment or two.

Alexander looks at me with shock as I don't think he knew that I knew that she was an assassin but I did know about that. "The police did question her and she told them the truth about what happened. It was your father" He then says. My jaw drops open as the tears still run down my cheeks.

"No, my father would never do something like this. He loves me and my mother and he would never want to hurt me or do something like this" I tell him. He's lying, he has to be. This can't be the truth, it just can't. He sighs as he holds my hand tighter and kisses it.
