The Guilty Mind

Chapter-21

Alexander's pov:

It is the day of my engagement, I promised mom and dad that I won't be working today and I won't leave the house. Over the time even though I had work for the past few days I spent a little time to bond and chat with Mishal, it really helped me to fall in love with her and change my mind and move away from the past. While I was reminiscing the memories my childhood memories with Mishal, the door to my room opened and I turned my Gaze towards the doorway and saw Claire standing with her bunny in her hand, dressed in a cute light blue baby doll dress, just reminding me of Ana. She ran towards me and I picked her up in my arms and spun around "hey, my little princess you're looking just like your mommy, when she was small" I said pinching her cheeks and she smiles and kissed my cheeks.

I put her down to settle on the bed and went down on my knees to meet her height, she then handed me a letter that she had in her hand, I looked at her with a smile on my face and took it from her,

"mommy left me back her diary and I always read it, along with the book she kept this letter and told me that when I see you, I should give it to you somehow, do read it."

"Thank you, my princess, I will read it" I said while giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"I hope you are not getting nervous officer Knight" Claire said and giggled

"where is that coming from now"

"uncle Jade made me ask"

"Had to be him" I sighed and shook my head and Claire ran out of my room. Sitting down on my bed I open the envelope and take out the letter,

Dear Alex,

If you are reading this letter, which means I wouldn't be along with you'll, you have been an amazing brother anyone can have, I really made a mistake in life falling love with Adam, after leaving the house I got to know he never changed, he wanted to revenge and he threatened me that he will kill you and dad , If I tell anyone he had tabs on the entire family, you always protected me and it was my turn, I left you all to protect the family, I really never waited on you to come to me or call me because if you ever did you would have lost your life, so I created a thing saying that I was dead, but actually I am dying, I am sick I planned an accident to kill Adam and after that I got to know I don't have much time left to live, I always know you will get to her and keep her safe, I will be watching over all of you'll for sure, I love you my big B and don not blame yourself for whatever happened I did not watch out for what was ahead of me, I wish you find true love and have an amazing life and tell mom, dad, and Jade that they will always be in my heart. Until we meet again love Ana.

As soon as I read the letter, I couldn't stop the tears, that's when Jade walked in and looked at me in shock I looked at him feeling helpless that Ana went through a lot on her own, he took the letter from me and read it and the he grabbed me in for a hug, "see you are not to be blamed for whatever happened, we cannot change destiny remember that's what you always told us, move ahead Alex today begins a new chapter to your life, we have Claire which means Ana is with us, and we are going to watch her carefully while she grows" I smiled at how grown he has become on giving me advice we hugged again.

"Now get up big man, it's your big day today remember your getting engaged, like The Alexander Knight is getting engaged, how many girls' hearts are you going to break today" he said and laughed "are you ready?"

I sigh and put on my coat loosen up my shoulders and look at myself in the mirror I was wearing a Cole black Armani suit and a royal blue tie, my lips tug into a smile

"I guess I am, and thanks to you, for making me consider to give myself another chance, I guess I found true love again with my best friend" I said smilingly and Jade acted and wiped away his fake tears.
