Chapter 27
Alex
I couldn't help but search to find out what was inside, curiosity gets the better of me, I need to know what's inside, when I open it I almost pass out, what the hell is that?
There was a photo of me, my mother, my father there was also that of Robert and another man called Chris
There is all the information about me, where I lived, my childhood, the schools I attended, there is even my medical file, and it was the same for my father, my mother and my brothers, why did he do that?
Why did he feel this need to delve so deeply into my life and the lives of my loved ones? I'm lost here, is he still kidding me, who does these kinds of things, what kind of person is he?
I was lost in the documents when I hear someone open the door
Alexender opening the door: but what have you been doing here all this time? I had to get off myself to take it
Me voice shaking: what is this?
To see his face I think he realized what I had in hand
Alexender rubbing his hands over his face: It's not what you think
Me trying to control my voice: what should I believe then, tell me?
Alexender: I can explain everything to you, I never opened it, I never read it I can swear to you
Me raising my voice: and why did you go digging into my fucking life
I feel like my head is spinning, I'm trying so hard to keep my cool and not get angry but I can't, I feel like everything is circling around me, it's hard to stay upright it's the black hole
Alexander
I had just received a call for work and I needed a file that I worked on not long ago to be able to communicate certain information, with Alex who was next to me I can't arrive to concentrate so I send her to fetch me the file but she takes so long that I had to go downstairs myself to fetch it
But the scene on which I come across persuades me that I have just made a big mistake by sending him here and I, who had forgotten that this file still existed, should never have brought him home, I have just made a big mistake. mistake that will really cost me dear
I try to explain the situation to her somehow but how can I make her understand something like this, she was so angry, how could I make such a big rookie mistake?
She was talking when she collapsed, shit, I run to catch her before she hit the ground, I take her and I walk towards the car screaming the name of the driver, mother followed me putting me down questions but I can't stop or answer him so much I'm panicking so I leave without being able to tell him what's going on
When we arrive at the hospital we are immediately taken care of by certain nurses who forbid me to enter the room, I prefer not to object since I know nothing about medicine and the essentials is he able to take care of her soon, I try to look good but my stress is only increasing again and again, does she have heart problems?
What have they been doing all this time and no one bothers to tell me what's going on with her? when i see a man in a white coat coming out of the room i run to him to find out what is going on
Me: Hello sir, is she better?
The man in the white coat: Are you related to the patient?
Me getting impatient: yes I am her husband, how is she? can I see her ?
The man in the white coat: yes can see her, it's nothing serious, I'm coming with her results
Me: how is it nothing serious, my wife passed out and you dare tell me it's nothing serious?
The man in the white coat: do you want to see her or stay there and prevent me from doing my job?
I resign myself and I end up going back to see her, when I arrive she was lying in bed staring into space I'm a little stressed by everything that's going to happen in the next few minutes but I take my courage to two hands and I walk towards her
Me taking her hands in mine: Are you better? I was so scared for you
Alex: …
Me: please answer me sweetheart, tell me something
Alex removing his hands: what do you want me to tell you? You should go find yourself a defective, he'll tell you how I feel
Me: I know I screwed up
Xander cutting me off: Of course you screwed up, what kind of person does that kind of thing?
Me: the kind of person who is afraid of being betrayed
Alex: You don't trust me enough to ask me personally what you want to know, the almighty Alexender still had to find someone to do the job for him, right? Do you realize you dug up things that even I didn't know about? and you preferred to remain silent; and to say that Monsieur dared to play jealous when he saw me with my brother when you knew full well who he was, what does it bring you to play so much with others? answer me damn it...
Me: calm down my heart
Alex: don't ask me to calm down, and stop playing the innocent guy because it doesn't work with me
Me in a calm tone: I never opened this file
Alex: in addition to being a dishonest you are a liar, I find you hidden heels every day
Me getting impatient: you'll shut up and listen to me, I never opened this file since I felt like I was violating your privacy, yes I do research all the people who come into my life so on the personal and professional side, I got it but I didn't have the courage to open it, at the moment I didn't know that I already loved you and that this love was preventing me from violating your privacy and pushed me to discover you myself, I thought I got rid of it, you shouldn't have come across it, I had forgotten it, I didn't even know it existed anymore since what you make me discover about you everyday is enough for me, i'm so sorry to have you on it, i'm so sorry for hurting you that's the last thing i wanted to do
She's starting to cry now, what can I say to her so she can believe me?
Me: please don't cry, I don't want to see you cry anymore because of my nonsense
Alex sniffling: I'm so sorry I got carried away and didn't trust you, I should have let you talk and listen to what you had to say, I'm sorry
Me: It's by no means up to you to apologize sweetheart, if I understand correctly I'm forgiven?
Alex smiling: I have nothing to forgive you my love
I get up and I kiss his forehead, phew I thought I was going to give myself a soap...
Me repeating: but since when do you have a brother?
Alex: It's a very long story...
Me: I have plenty of time
She tells me everything that happened, their meeting through the dinner that I ruined until the letter that her father wrote to her, I feel so stupid to have behaved like an idiot the last , I let my jealousy blind me, how could I think that girl would stare at another man? this woman she is as madly in love with me as I am with her
Me: I'm sincerely sorry to have ruined the meeting dinner with your big brother I never could have thought that it was not a man who is interested in you, for me all the men who look at you are hypnotized by your charm like you do with me but you allow me to give you my point of view on this matter?
Alex: sure go
Me in a serious tone: your father we can never try to put ourselves in his position and in any case he would have over some of his children and unfortunately it was you, but the choice he made that day allowed that you are the strong and independent woman you are today and thanks to this choice he made me I met you and I am grateful for his
As we say it also happens that parents fault their child and when they recognize their mistake we must forgive them as they always do with us, no one can deny the fact that he was gaga for his little girl, I I will ask you to find a place in your heart and to be able to forgive this man who regretted all the rest of his life the act he committed
To forgive him is to accept what he gives you, the fruit of his hard work, the work of a lifetime, he wanted you to have a part so I think you should accept what is rightfully yours, don't see it as compensation but rather as another act of his love for you, even if you don't do it for yourself already that you don't need it since I'm here, do it anyway for your mother this woman despite everything fought to be able to give you an education, to take care of you since your very tender childhood, even if it did not make you live in the lux that your father could have given you or did not give you according to your point of view the love you deserved or the love your father could have given you she still gave you what she could, she loved you to her mother and helped you become the woman you are today today
Just for everything she did for you, even if we parents don't expect our children to reimburse us for everything we did for them, I think it's time for her too to live without worrying bills and ends of the month in dignity without always having the feeling of begging, I will ask you to weigh the pros and cons before refusing it
Alex in a small voice: Ok I'll think about it...
I kiss my wife tenderly, I am happy that we have worked things out and I hope that she will accept her inheritance so that she can give her mother the life she deserves
Doctor: I'm sorry to interrupt you, may I come in?
Me: yes yes go in there, I was starting to get impatient, what's wrong with my wife?
The smiling doctor: Everything is fine with your wife, it's common for some women to pass out under the stress of her situation
Alex and I at the same time: what situation?
Doctor: your wife is pregnant sir, congratulations to you!
