Chapter 78
LAYLA
After Theo leaves, I stand in front of the main door for a long time. I think it will take some time for him to come to terms with everything.
But I want to have faith that he will return to being my friend sooner or later.
A pair of arms wrap around me from behind, breaking my trance. I gasp, melting into his embrace right away.
“What are you thinking? ” Alexander presses a kiss to the side of my head.
*I am thinking about Theo. “I tell him honestly.
He sighs.” Why are you thinking about that fucker when you are with me?”
He is a good man, Alex. Besides, you don’t need to be jealous of him. Because I- “I trail off, unable to say the words.
“You what?” He murmurs, his grip tightening around my waist.
I close my eyes and rest my head against his chest. “Are you leaving to catch Cleodore tomorrow?”
He knows I changed the subject just now, but he doesn’t try to push me into saying something.
have to leave before he gets the chance to run away. ” Alexander says.
“What about those traitors?” My muscles stiffen.
Someone will keep an eye on them. But you must be careful too.” He says and turns me around in his arms.
“This means I am not going with you? “I don’t like that idea.
“One of us must look after our Princess, Layla. “Alexander says as a matter of fact.
I nod. I understand what needs to be done. Besides, I can’t leave Ayla, my Baby, alone for a single moment when those
traitors so close to her.
“You didn’t tell me your plan.” My gaze lifts to his face.
“Plan is simple. ” Alex slides my hair behind my ears. “We will go into the underground club to collect our girls and get him there. For a big deal, he will be present himself.”
“I just hope you get him this time. I can’t feel at ease unless he is gone. And dead. “I say coldly. I want that monster dead as soon as possible so my Baby can be free of any threats.
“Don’t worry. He will die this time. ” He hums, pulling me closer to kiss my
forehead.
My muscles relax as I wrap my arms around Alex’s waist. His warmth spreads in my limbs, making me sigh in relief.
One of these days, I want to tell him that I have fallen for him too. I love him. But I keep delaying it unconsciously. Saying those words is hard for me.
I am still scared sometimes. What if Alex turns cold again? What will I do then?

* What now? What is on your mind?” Alex hums, his face disappearing down my neck to pepper kisses all over my skin.
I giggle, trying to wiggle away from his hold. “I can’t have sex again so soon. You are trying to kill me with your horny
habits.
* Who said anything about sex? Maybe, you can just be a good girl for me. You can lay down on the bed and let me touch you until you stop thinking about others.” He groans, kissing the corner of my lips.
“Oh, come on! We both know you will never end this by just touching me. You always want more. “I cry out, grabbing his cheeks between my palms to stop him.
“It’s your fault for being irresistible.” He grins and licks his lips.
“No, it’s your fault for being a horny animal. “I roll my eyes.
“You turned me into one. “Alex pulls me closer by my waist.” I can’t get enough of you. I just—love you so much.”
His eyes, once cold, are now filled with warmth. I tell myself every day that I will get used to them, but I can’t.
I want to wake up every morning and feel this same giddy feeling in my stomach as his eyes soften on me.
And maybe, one of those warm mornings, I will be able to tell him that I love him.
“Quit thinking. It’s time for some action. “Alex announces and picks me up without warning.
I gasp and kick my feet in the air but it’s no use. He has set his mind on having me again, and I can’t refuse him because I want everything he has in store for me.
The next day, Alexander is ready to leave for the mission against Cleodore. He fixes the cuffs of his suit while standing in front of the mirror.
I am so dead after the uncountable rounds of sex last night. He kept going on and on until I was so full of him that it made my head spin.
Now, I am sore and can still feel him inside me. I want to act all grumpy and whiny right now, but my guts feel
strange.
I have a sinking feeling taking over my senses. It’s as if something bad is about to happen and I can’t shake off that thought from my mind.
What if Alex gets hurt? That thought leaves me gasping and clenching my chest that aches.
After I found happiness, I can’t lose it.
* I wish I could follow you. “I murmur, my gaze lowering to the floor.
Instantly, he comes to stand in front of me and tips my chin up with his fingers.
I will be back before you know it, Mio Tesoro. “There is a certainty in his eyes that I can’t deny.
He has never lost. Not even once. I have to put my trust in him.

Alex kisses my forehead and tugs me out of the room. Something in me screams at me to hold him back and keep him with me, but the bigger part of my heart knows that’s not possible.
A lot of girls need him right now. I can’t be selfish.
And I don’t insist on following him because there is no way in hell that I will leave my Baby to accompany him.
However, my heart aches as I bid him goodbye at the door. He pulls me closer in front of his pack members and plants a hard parting kiss on my lips. Ignoring the surprised and sheepish looks, I kiss him back.
This is not the last time, but the desperation gnaws at my guts. I kiss him harder, sucking his lips and licking them until I am out of breath.
“You have to come back in one piece, Alex.” I whisper as our lips separate.
“There is no doubt about that. I still have to hear your confession. ” He murmurs, shooting me a childish grin.
My heart misses a beat. There is no doubt in my mind anymore. He truly wants to make amends and I am tired of fighting him. When he comes back, he will get the confession he wants.
I will give him all of me and we will be happy forever.
“Please don’t get hurt. “I step away from him softly. My heart is already longing for him. I don’t know what I will do once he leaves but I must let him go.
He nods, stealing a lasting glance at me before everyone gets into the cars and leaves for their destination.
My eyes follow his car until it rounds the corner and disappears. And I know he was watching me until he couldn’t.
Soon, we won’t have to be separated again. Soon, he will come back and everything will be fine.
Without that soon, there is no life for me.
