🌹CHAPTER TWENTY - FOUR🌹

"What?" Alexander says beside me but I can't even speak, I have no words as she said that. My aunt? That doesn't make any sense to me at all. My father is her brother. All those years she's been keeping something from my mom and myself, she is related to me by blood and never said anything.

Then again she did shoot us so I don't think she really wanted to say. Tears are rolling down her cheeks. "At first he wanted to be sure that you were really his child and when he did discover that he needed to get rid of you. But did not know how as he could not get rid of a child" She begins to explain.

I'm not sure if I want to hear this. My father cared once for me? Because I was a child? All I've been told about him is that he's been trying to get rid of me since I was born. It doesn't make sense that he grew a heart because he could not hurt a child.

He's already tried to kill his own daughter so he can be capable of things worse than that. "I don't want to hear more" I say as I stand up with the help of Alexander. I can't do this anymore. I thought that I was ready for the truth but with everything going on, I can't.

My life is going downhill again, I can feel that and it hurts me. More than I can even explain in words. Alexander doesn't say anything as we go to the car and I sit down in it. He doesn't start the car yet but he just holds my hand and we stat like that.

I let out a breath that I had been holding for some time as the tears are falling down from my eyes. "Rose..." He starts. I look up at his face for a short moment before looking down again. "Can we go home, please?" I ask him. I couldn't say anything else.

Needing nothing but being somewhere that I feel safe and where I don't have to worry about anything. I sigh as he stars the car and begins to drive off. Looking outside the window with sadness as we are driving to his mansion or our mansion now, I suppose since will be living together.

The car ride was a long one as my thoughts continued to wander everywhere and no where at the same time. But we made it there at the end and when we walked through the door I stop in my tracks. "I want to go to bed" I tell him and he nods.

This day has been a long one even when it's only about two in the afternoon but I feel tired already. Everything that happened today seems to have tired me down and it makes me want to sleep. I also think that has something to do with the shock.

"Of course" Alexander says as he begins to lead me to his bedroom. Sitting on the bed I go under the covers. "Do you think our lives will be normal someday?" I ask him as he gives me a strange look. I suppose he was not expecting me to ask that kind of a question.

"Well, our lives were never normal to begin with but once everything has been dealt with, I'm sure it will be as normal soon" He tells me but I get the feeling that he's making that up. It is true, since the moment that we met (and not the time that he met me first) our lives haven't been normal from then on.

But like him I have to believe that things will settle down and we will too. "You should get some rest, now. Calm your nerves a bit" He tells me as he sits down next to me and kisses my forehead. I truly am lucky to have him here with me and have him by my side.

Where I know he will never leave me. "Could you stay for a moment? I don't like being alone" I ask him. I never really told him but every night in the hospital my mom stayed with me so that I could be able to fall asleep. Fear had taken its hold on me and I couldn't sleep without it.
