Chapter 67 FULL OF HOPE AGAIN
- Alexander's POV
- “I met her in a grocery store yesterday” She pronounced in a good nature mood. Abruptly, I sprang to my feet, staring at her face in disbelief. I would have supposed she was probably joking, but Amelia knows when and not to joke. Besides, she would never joke with this crucial matter. Moreover, she was looking all serious. “Yes, Mr. Alexander. And not only that, she was holding a kid” Hearing her last words, I felt a tight knot twisted in my heart. 'A child? How's that even possible? It's barely a year, how come she has a kid already?' Putting a pace forward with a soft smile on her lips, “You've got a prince charming son, Mr. Alexander” She continued in a light tone. I swallowed subconsciously, unable to access a single thing. “What do you mean?” I asked, decisively, then she put on a cheeky smile. “The kid looks just like you. Undoubtedly, he's your son” Staring into the void, forming my lips into a straight line. “This isn't making any sense. I have to meet Kiara right away. Were you able to get her contact? Was she also surprised to meet her identical? What did she tell you? Did she miss me as much as I do?” Asking a series of questions in a breath, tears gradually pooled into my eyes. 'I miss her so much, my woman'.
- Biting her lip, she lowered her head and muttered, “No” I furrowed my brows, looking at her face for more words. “Kiara didn't seem to remember everything from her past” Her tone was full of despair. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Kiara didn't allow you the chance to have a proper talk with her, let alone give her contact to you?” I roared in a low, menacing voice. She raised her head, “I wasn't even affected by all that. The only thing I'm worried about is her, I kept on telling her about you, but she only shook her head, as if she has never heard of your name before” By the time she had finished her words, I felt as if I had been hit by a bolt from the blue as my heart constricted in pain. 'What does that suppose to mean? Does it mean she has moved on and wouldn't like to meet me again? No, that's impossible. Kiara and I are only made for each other' Snatching my cellphone from the sofa, I wiped off my sweaty forehead with the back of my palm as I placed a call through Mack. “About time, boss” His voice came through. “Have you found out her current location?” I asked with anticipation, my chest heaving up and down. “I'm afraid this will be a difficult task, Alexander. According to my findings in this short period of time, Kiara has gotten engaged with a wealthy Italian man whose identity isn't revealed in either way” I gulped loudly, and it seemed I've swallowed down my racing heart. “She had attained a foothold here in Texas and even overseas. She's…” “How can I reach her, Mack?” I interrupted firmly, cutting off his sentence. “That's where I was trying to get at, man. I'm sorry, but even at how distinguished you are in this state, it won't be easy to reach this woman in question. She has completely lived up beyond my expectations” I fell into a deep trance immediately, understanding all the words Mack had just said. And slowly, the cellphone slipped out of my hand and shattered into pieces on the floor. Amelia let out a loud gasp as she quickly held on to my arm and made me sit down on the nearby sofa. “What happened? What did Mack tell you over the phone?” Her voice was full of concern as she stared into my eyes for answers. Staring into space as if I was stuck in a dilemma, I couldn't pronounce a word and Amelia wouldn't stop tapping my arm, lightly.
